5. Setup and Installation
The KERUI Wireless Remote Control is designed for simple integration with your existing KERUI Home Alarm System. It operates wirelessly and does not require physical wiring to the control panel.
5.1 Battery Installation
The remote control comes with a 12V 23A Alkaline battery. If the battery is not pre-installed or needs replacement, follow these steps:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Carefully open the compartment cover.
- Insert the 12V 23A battery, ensuring the correct polarity (+ and -) as indicated inside the compartment.
- Close the battery compartment cover securely.
5.2 Pairing with Alarm System
To enable the remote control to operate your alarm system, it must be paired. The pairing process typically involves putting your KERUI Home Alarm System into a learning or pairing mode and then activating a button on the remote control. Refer to your specific KERUI Home Alarm System's manual for detailed instructions on how to add new wireless accessories or remote controls. Ensure your alarm system supports 433MHz frequency accessories.
6. Operating Instructions
The remote control features four distinct buttons for various alarm system functions:

- Arm Button (Closed Padlock Icon): Press this button to arm your alarm system. This typically activates all sensors and sets the system to full protection mode.
- Disarm Button (Open Padlock Icon): Press this button to disarm your alarm system. This deactivates all sensors, allowing you to enter or exit your premises without triggering the alarm.
- SOS Button (S Icon): In case of an emergency, press this button to trigger an immediate panic alarm. This function is designed for urgent situations and will activate the alarm regardless of the system's armed status.
- Stay Arm Button (Bell Icon): This button is typically used for 'home arm' or 'stay arm' mode, where perimeter sensors are armed while interior sensors are disarmed, allowing movement within the property. (Note: The image labels this as 'Test button', but product features indicate 'Stay arm'. Functionality may vary slightly based on the specific alarm system model.)
6.1 Operating Range
The remote control offers a wireless transmission distance of up to 80 meters (approximately 260 feet) in an open, obstacle-free environment. Factors such as walls, electronic interference, and other obstructions can reduce the effective range.
