Setup and Installation
The ARREGUI AL012 alarm system is designed for easy installation without the need for drilling or screws. Follow these steps for proper setup:
- Choose Location: Select a clean, flat surface on the door/window frame and the corresponding door/window itself where the alarm unit and sensor will be placed. Ensure the surfaces are free of dust and grease.
- Battery Insertion:
- For the main alarm unit: Open the battery compartment and insert two (2) 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries, observing the correct polarity.
- For each remote control: Open the battery compartment and insert one (1) CR2032 lithium button battery, observing the correct polarity.
- Positioning: The alarm system unit and the sensor unit must be aligned at the same height. When the door or window is closed, the distance between the alarm unit and the sensor unit must be less than 1.5 cm (approximately 0.6 inches).
- Adhesion: Apply the provided double-sided adhesive tape to the back of both the alarm system unit and the sensor unit. Firmly press them onto the chosen surfaces on the door/window and its frame, ensuring the correct alignment and proximity.

Operating Instructions
The ARREGUI AL012 alarm system is operated using the provided remote controls.
- Arming the Alarm: To activate the alarm system, press the ON button on the remote control. The system will emit a confirmation sound, indicating it is armed. It is recommended to arm the system from outside the premises when leaving.
- Disarming the Alarm: To deactivate the alarm system, press the OFF button on the remote control. The system will emit a confirmation sound, indicating it is disarmed. It is recommended to disarm the system before opening the protected door or window upon entering the premises.
- Alarm Trigger: Once armed, the alarm will sound at 130 dB if:
- The door or window is opened, causing the alarm unit and sensor to separate.
- Significant knocking or vibration is detected by the alarm unit, indicating an attempted forced entry.
- Vibration Sensor Sensitivity Adjustment: The vibration sensor has 3 adjustable sensitivity levels. To adjust, locate the sensitivity switch on the alarm unit (refer to the diagram in the included printed manual for exact location). Move the switch to select lower or higher sensitivity based on your environment and desired detection threshold.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your ARREGUI AL012 Alarm System.
- Battery Replacement:
- Alarm Unit: When the alarm unit's performance degrades or it fails to respond, replace the two (2) 1.5V AAA alkaline batteries.
- Remote Controls: If a remote control becomes unresponsive, replace its CR2032 lithium button battery.
Always dispose of used batteries responsibly according to local regulations.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the alarm unit and sensor. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device's surface or internal components.
- Adhesive Check: Periodically check the double-sided adhesive tape securing the units. If they become loose, re-secure them with new strong double-sided adhesive tape to maintain proper alignment and function.
Troubleshooting
This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your ARREGUI AL012 Alarm System.
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Alarm does not arm/disarm with remote control. | Dead or low battery in remote control. Remote control out of range.
