5. Setup and Installation
Follow these steps to install your Elro SC07/3 Mini Alarm:
- Choose a Location: Select a clean, dry, and flat surface on a door, window, or cabinet. The alarm should be placed on the frame and the magnetic strip on the moving part, or vice-versa. Ensure the two parts will be aligned and close to each other when the door/window is closed.
- Prepare the Surface: Clean the chosen surfaces thoroughly to ensure optimal adhesion if using adhesive pads.
- Mount the Main Unit: Attach the main alarm unit to one side of the opening. You can use the provided adhesive pad by peeling off the protective film and pressing firmly, or use screws for a more permanent installation.
- Mount the Magnetic Strip: Attach the smaller magnetic contact strip to the other side of the opening, ensuring it aligns perfectly with the marked area on the main unit when the door/window is closed. The gap between the two parts should be minimal (ideally less than 1 cm) for proper function.
- Test the Alarm: Switch the alarm to the 'ON' position. Close the door/window, then open it. The alarm should sound immediately upon separation of the two parts. If it does not, check the alignment and battery status.

6. Operating Instructions
Operating the Elro SC07/3 Mini Alarm is straightforward:
- Activating the Alarm: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the main alarm unit. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the alarm.
- Deactivating the Alarm: To deactivate the alarm, slide the switch to the 'OFF' position.
- Alarm Trigger: When the alarm is active ('ON' position) and the main unit is separated from the magnetic strip (e.g., a door or window is opened), the siren will sound.
- Stopping the Alarm: To stop the alarm once it has been triggered, simply slide the ON/OFF switch to the 'OFF' position.
7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliability of your alarm system.
- Battery Replacement: The alarms are powered by button cell batteries. When the alarm sound becomes weak or fails to activate, it is time to replace the batteries. Open the battery compartment (usually on the back or side of the main unit), remove the old batteries, and insert new alkaline button cell batteries, ensuring correct polarity.
- Cleaning: Clean the alarm units periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the plastic casing.
- Testing: Test the alarm function regularly (e.g., once a month) by activating it and opening the protected door/window to ensure it is working correctly.
