Setup and Installation
1. Unpacking and Initial Inspection
Carefully unpack all components from the box. Verify that all items listed in the package contents are present and undamaged. The standard package includes: 1 x Alarm Panel, 3 x PIR Motion Sensor, 3 x Door Sensor, 2 x Remote Controller, 2 x RFID Tag, 1 x GS520 (Solar Siren).
2. Alarm Panel Installation
The alarm panel is the central hub of your security system. It features a 4.3-inch IPS touch screen for intuitive operation.
- Mounting: Fix the alarm host to a wall using the provided screws. Choose a central location within your home for optimal wireless signal coverage.
- Power Connection: Connect the alarm host to a power source using the DC 5V micro USB standard interface power supply. The built-in 3.7V/500mAh lithium-ion battery serves as a backup, providing approximately 8 hours of operation during power outages.
- SIM Card Insertion (Optional for GSM/4G functionality): If you intend to use the GSM/4G features for SMS and voice calls, insert a compatible 2G/3G/4G SIM card into the designated slot on the alarm panel. Ensure the SIM card is active and has sufficient credit/data.

3. Sensor Installation and Pairing
The system supports up to 90 wireless zones for various accessories. Sensors are typically pre-paired with the main panel. If not, refer to the panel's on-screen menu for pairing instructions.
PIR Motion Sensors
Passive Infrared (PIR) motion sensors detect movement based on heat changes. Install them in areas where intruders are likely to pass.
- Placement: Mount PIR sensors at a height of 2.2-2.4 meters (7-8 feet) from the floor. Avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or areas with strong air currents.
- Coverage: The wide-angle infrared detection has a detection angle of 110° left and right, and a detection distance of 12 meters (39 feet). For curtain infrared detection, the angle is 15° left and right, and the distance is 8 meters (26 feet), typically installed above doors and windows.

Door/Window Sensors
These sensors consist of two parts: a main unit and a magnetic strip. They trigger an alarm when the magnetic contact is broken (i.e., a door or window is opened).
- Placement: Mount one part on the door/window frame and the other on the moving part (door/window) itself. Ensure they are aligned and within 1 cm (0.4 inches) of each other when the door/window is closed.

Solar Siren (GS520)
The solar siren is an outdoor alarm device that charges via solar power during the day and senses at night. It provides a loud audible alarm and flashing light when triggered.
- Placement: Install the solar siren outdoors in a location that receives ample direct sunlight throughout the day for optimal charging. Ensure it is within wireless range of the main alarm panel.
- Features: Plug and play, IP65 waterproof, flash and sound alarm, low-battery/power off detection, anti-tamper function.

4. App Setup (Tuya / Smart Life)
The system is compatible with the "Tuya" and "Smart Life" mobile applications, allowing remote control and notifications.
- Download App: Download the "Tuya Smart" or "Smart Life" app from your smartphone's app store (available for iPhone and Android).
- Register/Login: Create an account or log in if you already have one.
- Add Device: Follow the in-app instructions to add your alarm panel. Ensure your alarm panel is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network (5GHz WiFi is not supported). The app will guide you through the pairing process, which often involves putting the alarm panel into pairing mode.
- Configure Settings: Once connected, you can configure alarm settings, add/remove sensors, set up alarm phone numbers, and manage other system parameters directly from the app.
Operating Instructions
1. Alarm Panel Interface
The 4.3-inch TFT full-color touch screen provides a user-friendly interface to manage your system. The main screen displays live status, date, and time.

2. Arming and Disarming the System
- Arm: Activates all sensors. Any triggered sensor will initiate an alarm. Use this when leaving your home.
- Disarm: Deactivates all sensors, allowing free movement without triggering an alarm.
- Stay Arm (Home Arm): Activates perimeter sensors (e.g., door/window sensors) while allowing movement within the home (e.g., motion sensors are bypassed). Use this when you are at home.
- Methods: You can arm/disarm the system via the touch screen, remote controller, RFID tag, SMS commands, or through the Tuya/Smart Life app.
3. SOS Function
In an emergency, press the SOS button on the alarm panel or remote controller. The system will immediately trigger an alarm and notify preset emergency contacts via phone call and/or SMS.
4. Two-Way Voice Intercom
The alarm panel supports two-way voice communication. When a SIM card is inserted, you can make and receive calls directly through the panel, or use it for voice messages and remote monitoring.

5. Remote Control via App
The Tuya/Smart Life app provides full control over your alarm system from anywhere with an internet connection.
- Arm/Disarm: Remotely arm or disarm your system.
- Notifications: Receive instant push notifications for alarms and system status changes.
- Settings: Adjust system settings, add/remove devices, and manage user permissions.
- Voice Control: The system supports voice control via Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant when integrated through the Tuya/Smart Life app.

6. Zone Settings and Customization
The system allows for various zone settings to customize how sensors behave:
- In/Out Zone: Sensors in this zone have an entry/exit delay.
- Indoor Zone: Sensors in this zone are typically bypassed during "Stay Arm" mode.
- Outdoor Zone: Sensors in this zone are active in both "Arm" and "Stay Arm" modes.
- 24 Hours Zone: Sensors in this zone are always active, regardless of arming status (e.g., smoke detectors, gas leak detectors).
- Doorbell Zone: Configures a sensor to act as a doorbell chime.
- Zone Name Editable: You can customize the names of each zone for easier identification.
Maintenance
1. Battery Management
- Alarm Panel Battery: The main panel has a built-in 3.7V/500mAh lithium-ion backup battery. Ensure the panel is regularly connected to power to keep this battery charged. The system will notify you of low battery status.
- Accessory Batteries: Wireless sensors (PIR, door/window) are battery-powered. The system will provide low battery notifications for these accessories. Replace batteries promptly when indicated to ensure continuous protection.
- Solar Siren: The GS520 solar siren charges automatically during the day. Ensure its solar panel is clean and unobstructed for efficient charging.
2. Cleaning
Clean the alarm panel screen and sensor surfaces with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the components.
3. System Updates
Periodically check the Tuya/Smart Life app for any available firmware updates for your alarm panel. Keeping the system updated ensures optimal performance and security.
