Setup and Installation
1. Battery Installation
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the alarm unit (refer to Figure 2).
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert four 1.5V AA batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
2. Mounting Options
The Chacon 34030 alarm can be installed in two ways:
- Wall Mounting: Use the provided screws to securely attach the alarm to a wall. Ensure the mounting surface is stable.
- Surface Placement: The alarm can also be placed on a flat surface such as a table, shelf, or cabinet.
3. Optimal Placement
For optimal detection, position the alarm in an area where movement is expected, such as near an entrance or hallway. The detection zone is 6 meters with a 110-degree angle. Avoid placing the unit directly facing heat sources or in direct sunlight, as this may cause false alarms.
Operating Instructions
1. Setting Your Personal Code
The alarm comes with a default code. It is highly recommended to change this to a personal 4-digit code for security.
- Ensure the alarm is disarmed.
- Press the SET button.
- Enter your desired 4-digit code.
- Press the SET button again to confirm. A beep will indicate successful code change.
2. Arming the Alarm
- Enter your 4-digit code.
- Press the ARM button.
- The alarm will emit a series of beeps, indicating a delay period (typically 10-15 seconds) before it is fully armed. This allows you to exit the protected area.
3. Disarming the Alarm
- Upon entering the protected area, the alarm will start a delay period (typically 10-15 seconds) during which you must enter your code.
- Enter your 4-digit code.
- Press the DISARM button.
- The alarm will disarm, and the siren will stop if it was triggered.
4. Alarm Trigger
If motion is detected while the alarm is armed, the 130 dB siren will activate immediately. The siren will sound for a set duration (e.g., 30-60 seconds) and then reset, ready to detect further motion.
Maintenance
- Battery Replacement: Replace all four AA batteries when the alarm's indicator light (if present) signals low battery, or if the alarm's performance degrades. Always replace with new, high-quality alkaline batteries.
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the exterior of the alarm with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the unit. Ensure the motion sensor lens is kept clean and free of dust for accurate detection.
- Testing: Periodically test the alarm by arming it and then triggering the motion sensor to ensure it is functioning correctly.
