6. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your WOLF GUARD M2Bx system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Sensor not responding/triggering | Low battery, out of range, improper installation, not paired. | Replace battery, relocate sensor closer to control panel, re-align magnetic parts (door/window sensor), re-pair sensor with control panel. |
| No alarm notifications (SMS/Call) | No GSM signal, SIM card issues, incorrect phone numbers programmed, insufficient SIM credit. | Check GSM signal strength on control panel, ensure SIM card is active and has credit, verify programmed phone numbers, re-insert SIM card. |
| Siren not sounding | Siren not connected/paired, power issue, faulty siren. | Check wired connection (indoor siren), re-pair wireless siren, ensure siren has power, contact support if siren is faulty. |
| Remote control not working | Low battery, out of range, not paired. | Replace remote control battery, use closer to control panel, re-pair remote control. |
| Mobile app connectivity issues | Internet connection problems, incorrect app settings, server issues. | Check your smartphone's internet connection, verify app settings, restart the app, contact WOLF GUARD support if server issues are suspected. |
