Replace batteries promptly with the specified type (CR123A Metal Lithium batteries are included and required for some components).

5.2. Cleaning

Clean the exterior of the central unit and sensors periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the device surfaces.

5.3. System Checks

Periodically test your alarm system to ensure all sensors are functioning correctly and communication with the central unit is maintained. Refer to the central unit's manual for specific testing procedures.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your AMT 8000 SLIM alarm system.

6.1. Connectivity Issues

• Problem: Central unit not connecting to the network (Ethernet/Wi-Fi).
• Solution: Ensure the network cable is securely connected to the router if using Ethernet. Verify Wi-Fi credentials and signal strength. Restart the central unit and your router. Consult the central unit's detailed manual or Intelbras customer service for specific network setup guidance.

6.2. False Alarms from Motion Sensor (IVP 8000 PET)

• Problem: The IVP 8000 PET motion sensor triggers alarms due to pets.
• Solution: While designed to minimize pet false alarms, large pets or specific placement can still cause triggers. Ensure the sensor is mounted at the recommended height and angle, typically above the pet's reach. Avoid placing the sensor near heat sources, direct sunlight, or areas with drafts that could cause curtains or objects to move. If issues persist, consider adjusting the sensor's sensitivity settings if available, or repositioning it.

6.3. Device Not Responding

• Problem: A sensor or remote control is not communicating with the central unit.
• Solution: Check the device's battery and replace it if necessary. Ensure the device is within the wireless range of the central unit (up to 600 meters without barriers). Re-pair the device with the central unit if communication is lost.
