3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Initial Power-on

1. Insert the SIM card into the card slot of the host panel.
2. Connect the host to power using the provided adapter.
3. Long press the [ON/OFF] button to power on the device.
4. The host will prompt "Welcome to smart voice alarm" and begin self-testing the GSM network. The "GSM signal LED" will flash until the network is properly connected. If it continues to flash, there might be an issue with the SIM card.
5. The host keypad will indicate if it's not connected to WiFi.

3.2 Panel Installation

The host panel should be installed in a central location within the guarded area to ensure it receives signals from all detectors. Avoid installing near large metal objects or appliances that cause high-frequency interference. Also, avoid reinforced concrete walls and fire doors, as these can block signals.

3.3 Detector Installation

3.3.1 Door Sensor Installation

Door sensors consist of two parts: a transmitter and a magnet. They detect the opening and closing of doors or windows. When the transmitter separates from the magnet, an alarm signal is sent to the host panel.

Installation Steps:

1. Clean the installation surface.
2. Take out the wireless door sensor.
3. Attach the double-sided adhesive tape to the bottom of each part.
4. Install part A (transmitter) on the fixed part of the door/window frame and part B (magnet) on the movable part of the door/window.
5. Ensure parts A and B are in the same vertical line and the distance between them is not greater than 1 cm when closed.
6. After installation, open the door/window; the indicator light should flash for 1 second, indicating successful installation.
7. A constant indicator light suggests low power.
8. For added security, parts A and B can be reinforced with screws.

3.3.2 PIR Motion Detector Installation

PIR motion sensors detect movement. Ensure the power switch on the PIR sensor is ON before installation.

Installation Steps:

1. Installation height should be approximately 2.2 meters above the ground.
2. Install the detector in a corner of the room to achieve the best detection range.
3. Ensure the detector forms a certain angle with the walking line (a 90-degree angle is optimal for detection).
4. Attach the supplied bracket to the slot on the PIR sensor.
5. Fix the pedestal to the wall with two screws.
6. Press the PIR sensor with its bracket into the center hole of the pedestal.
7. Adjust the detector to the best angle.

Attention:

• Do not face the detector directly towards windows.
• Ensure no large objects obstruct the detection coverage.
• Avoid placing two infrared detectors in the same space to prevent interference.
• Do not face the detector towards cooling/warming machines, stoves, or other appliances that cause sharp temperature changes, as this may lead to false alarms.
• Infrared detectors should only be used indoors.
