1. Adding Remote Controls:
   a. On the control panel, navigate to 'Phone Settings' then 'Add Accessories'.
   b. Select 'Add Remote Control'.
   c. Enter a number (00-99) for the remote control. The display will show 'Now selected the XX, please press any key on the remote Control!'.
   d. Press any button on the remote control. The panel will confirm 'Add successful!'.
2. Adding Detectors:
   a. On the control panel, navigate to 'Phone Settings' then 'Add Accessories'.
   b. Select 'Add Detector'.
   c. Enter a number (00-99) for the detector. The display will show 'Now selected the XX, please trigger the detectors!'.
   d. Trigger the detector (e.g., separate the door sensor magnets, wave hand in front of PIR). The panel will confirm 'Add successful!'.

5.4 Understanding Zone Types

The KERUI W181 supports 99 defense zones with 8 optional zone types. These types determine how the system reacts when a sensor in that zone is triggered.

• Away Armed Zone (00-59 zones): All zones work on the arming status (away armed or home armed). Recommended for door sensors.
• Home Armed Zone (60-79 zones): Home armed zones only work on the away arming status. Recommended for PIR motion detectors.
• Intelligent Zone (80-89 zones): This zone will alarm after being triggered twice within 30 seconds.
• Help Senior Zone (90 zone): No matter the status, the panel will alarm once a sensor in this zone is triggered, and auto-dial 3 groups of help senior numbers. Recommended for help buttons.
• Doorbell Zone (91 zone): No matter the status, the panel will ring as "DINGDONG" when a sensor in this zone is triggered. Recommended for doorbell buttons.
• Welcome Zone (92 zone): When in armed status, the panel will alarm; when in disarmed status, the panel will ring as "Welcome". Recommended for welcome PIR motion sensors.
• Emergency Zone (93-99 zones): No matter the status, the panel will alarm once being triggered. Recommended for emergency detectors (e.g., smoke/fire, gas detectors).

6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Arming and Disarming

The system can be armed or disarmed using the remote controls, the control panel's touch keyboard, or the mobile application.

• Arming (Away Armed): Press the 'lock' button on the remote control or enter the arm code on the panel. The system will announce "System Armed".
• Disarming: Press the 'unlock' button on the remote control or enter the disarm code on the panel. The system will announce "System Disarmed".
• Home Armed: Press the 'home' button on the remote control. The system will announce "Home Armed".

6.2 Scheduled Arm/Disarm

You can set up to 4 schedules for automatic arming, disarming, or stay arming based on specific zones, days, and times. This feature is useful for automating security routines, such as arming the system when you leave for work and disarming it when you return.

6.3 APP Control

The KERUI W181 system can be fully controlled via the Tuya Smart app (available for iPhone and Android devices). This allows you to arm/disarm the system, receive notifications, and manage settings remotely.

6.4 Alarm Notifications

When an alarm is triggered, the system will:

• Activate the siren.
• Send SMS alerts to up to 3 preset phone numbers.
• Auto-dial up to 6 preset phone numbers.
• Send push notifications to the linked mobile application.

6.5 Two-way Audio

The control panel supports two-way audio communication, allowing you to listen in on the protected area and speak through the panel using the mobile app.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Battery Backup

The KERUI W181 control panel includes a built-in backup battery, providing up to 8 hours of standby power in case of an external power outage. If power is lost, the system will automatically dial preset phone numbers to notify you.

7.2 General Care

• Clean the control panel and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Regularly check the battery status of wireless sensors and replace them as needed.
• Ensure the SIM card has sufficient credit for GSM calls and SMS.

8. Troubleshooting

• Cannot connect to Wi-Fi: Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Check your Wi-Fi password and signal strength. Try restarting your router and the alarm panel.
• No alarm notifications: Verify the SIM card is correctly inserted and has credit. Check if alarm phone numbers and SMS numbers are correctly configured in the system settings or app. Ensure the app has notification permissions.
• Sensors not triggering alarm: Check if the sensor is correctly paired and assigned to an active zone. Ensure the sensor's battery is not low. Verify the zone type is configured to trigger an alarm (e.g., not a doorbell or welcome zone).
• Wired siren/sensors not working: The W181 control panel does not have wired terminals and cannot connect to wired sensors or sirens. Only wireless accessories are compatible.
• False alarms: Check PIR motion sensor placement to avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or moving objects (curtains, pets). Some PIR sensors are pet-immune, but this model's standard PIR may not be.

10. User Tips

• Expandability: The system is highly expandable. You can add more motion sensors and door/window sensors as needed, up to 150 detectors and 150 remote controls.
• Language Settings: The alarm panel supports 6 languages (English, German, Italian, Russian, Spanish, French) for voice prompts. Ensure you select your preferred language during initial setup.
• Pet Immunity: While the system includes motion sensors, standard PIR sensors may not be pet-immune. If you have pets, consider purchasing specific pet-immune PIR sensors compatible with the 433MHz frequency.
