2. Insert SIM Card: Locate the SIM card slot on the side of the main panel. Insert a standard 2G GSM SIM card with credit. This is essential for remote call and SMS notifications. The system supports GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz frequency bands. Without a SIM card, the system functions as a local alarm only.

3. Connect Power: Connect the provided EU power adapter to the 'Port d'alimentation' (Power Port) on the main panel and plug it into a wall outlet.
4. Power On: Locate the ON/OFF switch on the side of the panel and switch it to the 'ON' position. The panel has an integrated rechargeable lithium battery for backup power during outages.

3.2 Sensor Installation

The system is designed for DIY installation and comes pre-programmed. All batteries are pre-installed in the sensors.

1. Door/Window Sensors: Install these sensors on doors and windows. Ensure the two parts of the sensor are aligned and within 1 cm of each other when the door/window is closed. Important: Do not install door sensors on metal doors, as this may interfere with signal transmission.
2. Motion Detectors: Mount motion detectors in areas where intruders are likely to pass. Position them to cover entry points and high-traffic areas. Ensure they are not obstructed by furniture or curtains.
3. Remote Controls & RFID Keypad/Cards: These are typically pre-paired. Test their functionality after setting up the main panel.

3.3 Outdoor Solar Siren Installation

The outdoor solar siren is designed for external use and is powered by solar energy.

1. Placement: Install the siren in an open location that receives ample daylight to ensure its solar panel can charge the internal battery effectively. It should be visible from outside your property to act as a deterrent.
2. Mounting: Securely mount the siren using appropriate hardware. The casing is water and UV resistant.
3. Wired Siren (Optional): If using a wired siren, connect it to the 'Sirène Filaire Jack' (Wired Siren Jack) on the main panel.

3.4 System Expansion

The KERUI G18 system is expandable. It can learn accessories from the 1527 series and supports up to 99 detectors and remote controls. The main panel can be programmed with a maximum of 150 sensors.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your KERUI G18 alarm system.

• Battery Check: Periodically check the batteries in your wireless sensors (door/window sensors use 12V 23A, motion detectors use AAA batteries). Replace them when the low battery indicator appears or when performance degrades.
• Main Panel Battery: The main panel's internal lithium battery provides backup power. Ensure the panel is regularly connected to the power adapter to keep this battery charged.
• Solar Siren: Keep the solar panel on the outdoor siren clean and free from obstructions (dirt, leaves, snow) to ensure efficient charging. While designed to be water-resistant, ensure proper sealing during installation to prevent water ingress.
• System Testing: Test your alarm system regularly (e.g., monthly) by triggering a sensor to ensure sirens activate and notifications are sent.
• Software Updates: Check for any available firmware or app updates to ensure your system has the latest features and security enhancements.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KERUI G18 system, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No SMS/Call Notifications:
  • Ensure a 2G GSM SIM card is correctly inserted into the main panel.
  • Verify the SIM card has sufficient credit and is active.
  • Check if the pre-programmed phone numbers are correct in the system settings.
  • Confirm your mobile network supports 2G GSM services.
• Sensors Not Triggering Alarm:
  • Check sensor battery levels and replace if necessary.
  • Ensure sensors are within the wireless transmission range (Motion Sensor: 150m open space; Door Sensor: 100m open space; Remote Control: 100m open space).
  • Verify that the sensor is correctly paired with the main panel.
  • For door/window sensors, ensure the two parts are properly aligned and not installed on metal surfaces.
• False Alarms:
  • Adjust motion detector sensitivity or placement to avoid triggering by pets or environmental factors (e.g., curtains moving).
  • Consider using the 'Intelligent' zone attribute for areas with pets.
  • Check for loose wiring or faulty sensors.
• Outdoor Solar Siren Issues:
  • Ensure the solar panel is clean and receiving direct sunlight for adequate charging.
  • Check for any physical damage or water ingress into the siren unit.
  • Verify the siren is properly paired with the main panel.
• App Control Not Working:
  • Confirm the main panel has an active 2G GSM SIM card.
  • Ensure your smartphone has an internet connection.
  • Verify the app is updated to the latest version.
