2. Setup

2.1 Main Unit Installation

Position the main alarm unit in a central location within your home, away from direct sunlight and heat sources. Ensure it is within range of all wireless sensors. The unit can be wall-mounted using appropriate screws and anchors (not included) or placed on a flat surface.

2.2 SIM Card Installation

Figure 2.2.1: Location of the 2G SIM card slot.

Locate the SIM card slot on the back of the main unit. Insert a 2G GSM SIM card into the slot, ensuring the correct orientation as indicated by the diagram near the slot. Push the SIM card gently until it clicks into place. Ensure the SIM card has sufficient credit and is activated for calls and SMS.

2.3 Sensor Installation

2.3.1 Motion Detector

Figure 2.3.1: Motion detector placement and detection area.

Install the motion detector in areas prone to intrusion, such as hallways, living rooms, or near entry points. Mount it at a height of approximately 2-2.5 meters (6.5-8 feet) for optimal coverage. Avoid placing it directly facing windows, heat sources, or areas with strong air currents to prevent false alarms. The dual-element design helps distinguish human infrared rays more accurately.

2.3.2 Door/Window Sensors

Attach the two parts of the magnetic door/window sensor to the door/window frame and the movable part of the door/window. Ensure the two components are aligned and the gap between them is less than 10mm when the door/window is closed. The alarm will trigger if the distance between the transmitter and magnet exceeds 10mm.

2.4 Power Connection

Connect the main unit to a standard 110V AC power outlet using the provided power adapter. The system includes a built-in lithium metal backup battery that will automatically take over in case of a power outage, ensuring continuous operation.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Arming and Disarming the System

The Wolf Guard MR1 system offers multiple methods for arming and disarming:

• Keypad: Enter your user code on the main unit's keypad to arm or disarm. The keypad is backlit for visibility in low light conditions.
• RFID Tag: Touch an authorized RFID tag to the RFID reader area on the main unit. The first touch arms the system, and a second touch disarms it. This is convenient for quick access.
• Remote Control: Use the provided remote controls to arm, disarm, or set the system to 'Home Arm' mode.
• Mobile Application: Use the 'MR1' mobile application for remote arming and disarming.

3.1.1 Using the Mobile Application

Figure 3.1.1: Main unit and mobile app interface for control.

Download the 'MR1' application from your smartphone's app store. Follow the in-app instructions to pair your device with the alarm system. Once paired, you can remotely arm, disarm, and monitor the system status from anywhere.

3.1.2 Using RFID Tags

Figure 3.1.2: Arming/disarming with an RFID tag.

To use an RFID tag, simply hold it near the RFID icon on the main unit's keypad. The system will toggle between armed and disarmed states with each touch. This feature is particularly useful for family members who may find keypad entry less convenient.

3.1.3 Using Remote Control

Figure 3.1.3: Remote control functions.

The remote control provides buttons for 'Arm', 'Disarm', 'Home Arm', and 'SOS'. Press the corresponding button to perform the desired action. The 'Home Arm' mode typically arms perimeter sensors while allowing free movement within the property. The 'SOS' button can be pressed in emergencies to trigger an immediate alarm and notify pre-set contacts.

3.2 Emergency Calls and Alerts

In the event of an alarm trigger, the system will activate the 110 dB indoor siren and automatically dial up to 6 pre-programmed phone numbers. It will also send alert messages via the mobile application to notify you and your family of the security breach.

3.3 LCD Display and Keypad

The 128x64 LCD screen displays important information such as system status (armed/disarmed), time, and date. The keypad features a backlight, making it easy to operate the system even in low-light conditions or at night.

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the main unit and sensors with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, solvents, or harsh chemicals, as these can damage the device's surface and internal components.

4.2 Battery Management

The main unit contains a rechargeable lithium metal backup battery. Ensure the unit is always connected to a power source to keep the battery charged. This battery provides temporary power during outages. If the system frequently relies on backup power, consider checking your main power supply.

4.3 Sensor Checks

Periodically test all sensors (motion, door/window) to ensure they are functioning correctly. Refer to the operating instructions for testing procedures. Replace sensor batteries as needed (if applicable for wireless sensors, though not explicitly detailed in provided data).

5. Troubleshooting

• System not arming/disarming:
  • Check if the main unit is powered on and connected to the power adapter.
  • Ensure all sensors are closed (for door/window sensors) or not detecting movement (for motion sensors) before arming.
  • Verify that the correct user code is entered on the keypad.
  • For RFID tags, ensure proper contact with the reader.
• No alerts received (calls/app notifications):
  • Confirm that a 2G SIM card is correctly inserted and active with sufficient credit.
  • Verify that the programmed phone numbers are correct and in the proper format.
  • Check your smartphone's notification settings for the 'MR1' app.
  • Ensure the GSM signal strength is adequate (displayed on the LCD).
• False alarms:
  • For motion detectors, ensure they are not facing windows, direct sunlight, or strong air currents.
  • For door/window sensors, ensure they are securely mounted and the gap between components is within 10mm when closed.
  • Adjust sensor sensitivity settings if available.
• Keypad not responding:
  • Check power supply to the main unit.
  • If the keypad is completely unresponsive, try restarting the system by disconnecting and reconnecting power.
