3.2 Sensor Installation

All wireless sensors (PIR motion sensors, door/window sensors) are pre-paired with the main control panel. Simply install them in their desired locations:

• PIR Motion Sensors: Install in corners of rooms, approximately 2-2.5 meters (6.5-8 feet) above the floor, ensuring a clear line of sight for detection. Avoid pointing them directly at heat sources or windows.
• Door/Window Sensors: Attach the two parts of each sensor to the door/window frame and the movable part (door/window) respectively, ensuring they are aligned and within 1 cm (0.4 inches) of each other when closed.
• Wireless Siren: Mount the outdoor siren in a visible location, ensuring it is powered and within wireless range of the main panel.

3.3 Tuya Smartlife App Setup

1. Download App: Download the "Smart Life" or "Tuya Smart" app from the Apple App Store (iOS) or Google Play Store (Android).
2. Register/Login: Create a new account or log in with an existing one.
3. Add Device: In the app, tap the "+" icon to add a new device. Select "Security & Video Surveillance" > "Alarm (Wi-Fi)" or similar.
4. Connect to Wi-Fi: Follow the in-app instructions to connect the alarm host to your home's 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network. This typically involves putting the host into pairing mode (refer to the host's display or quick start guide for specific steps) and entering your Wi-Fi credentials in the app.
5. Device Management: Once connected, you can rename sensors, view alarm history, and manage all system settings directly from the app.

4. Operating the System

The Wolf Guard W4Q-W03 offers multiple methods for arming and disarming, along with various operational modes.

4.1 Arming and Disarming

You can arm or disarm your alarm system using the following methods:

• Keypad: Enter your user code on the main control panel's keypad to arm or disarm.
• Remote Control: Use the dedicated buttons on the wireless remote controls for quick arming, disarming, or SOS functions.
• Tuya Smartlife App: Arm or disarm the system remotely via the app on your smartphone. The app also allows for scheduled arming and disarming.
• RFID Card: Swipe an authorized RFID card over the RFID reader on the main control panel to disarm the system.

4.2 Alarm Zones and Modes

The system supports up to 100 wireless defense zones and 2 wired defense zones, each configurable with different attributes:

• 24-Hour Zone: Sensors in this zone are always active, even when the system is disarmed (e.g., smoke detectors, gas leak detectors).
• Ordinary Zone: Standard security zone, active when the system is armed.
• Internal Zone: Designed for interior areas, allowing occupants to move freely when the system is armed in 'stay' or 'home' mode.
• Delayed Zone: Provides an entry/exit delay, allowing time to arm/disarm the system without triggering an immediate alarm.

4.3 Notifications and Alerts

In case of an alarm event, the system can provide alerts via:

• APP Notifications: Real-time push notifications to your smartphone via the Tuya Smartlife app, precisely indicating the triggered defense zone.
• SMS Alerts: If a 4G SIM card is installed, the system can send SMS messages to pre-configured phone numbers.
• Phone Calls: The system can dial pre-configured phone numbers to alert you of an alarm.

5. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and longevity of your Wolf Guard W4Q-W03 alarm system.

5.1 Battery Backup

The main control panel features a built-in backup battery. In the event of a power outage, the system will continue to operate for several hours, and you will receive a power-off notification via SMS (if 4G is active) and the app. The system will also notify you when power is restored.

5.2 Sensor Batteries

Wireless sensors are powered by batteries (e.g., CR2032 for some components). The system will typically alert you when sensor batteries are low. Replace batteries promptly to ensure continuous protection.

5.3 Cleaning

Clean the main control panel and sensors periodically with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the surfaces.

6. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your Wolf Guard W4Q-W03 alarm system.

• System Not Connecting to Wi-Fi:
  Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. Check that the Wi-Fi password entered is correct. Move the control panel closer to your Wi-Fi router. Restart both the control panel and your router.
• 4G SIM Card Not Detected or Not Sending Alerts:
  Verify that the SIM card is a MiniSIM and has no PIN code enabled. Ensure the SIM card has an active plan that supports data, voice, and SMS. Check the signal strength displayed on the control panel. If issues persist, try another compatible SIM card.
• Sensor Not Triggering Alarm:
  Check the sensor's battery level. Ensure the sensor is correctly installed and within range of the main panel. For door/window sensors, verify the two parts are aligned and close enough when closed. For PIR sensors, ensure no obstructions block its detection area.
• False Alarms:
  Review sensor placement to avoid environmental triggers like direct sunlight, drafts, or pets (for non-pet-immune PIRs). Adjust sensor sensitivity if available.
• App Not Receiving Notifications:
  Ensure your smartphone has an active internet connection. Check app notification settings on your phone and within the Smartlife/Tuya app itself.
