Introduction
This manual provides instructions for the GE Wireless Remote Controlled Motion-Sensing Alarm.
Note: Do not use in wet locations.
Product Components
The system includes:
- Motion Sensing Alarm: The main unit with an indicator light.
- Keychain Remote: Used to arm, disarm, and switch modes. Features an Alarm/Chime switch.
- Wall Mount: A ball and socket mount for positioning the alarm unit.
Low Battery Indicator
The Motion Sensing Alarm features a low battery indicator light. If batteries need replacement, the indicator light will flash slowly. Average battery life is up to one year with typical usage.
Installing Batteries
Installing Batteries in the Alarm
The alarm requires 3 AA Alkaline batteries (not included).
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the unit.
- Remove the battery compartment screw and slide the cover off in the direction of the open arrow.
- Insert 3 AA batteries, observing polarity as indicated inside the compartment.
- Replace the cover and secure the screw.
Installing Batteries in the Remote Control
The remote control requires a CR2032 battery (included). Average battery life is one year.
- Slide off the battery compartment cover located on the back of the remote control.
- Insert a CR2032 battery, noting polarity inside the compartment.
- Replace the cover.
Linking the Remote to the Alarm
Ensure batteries are installed before proceeding.
- Remove the battery compartment cover of the alarm unit and locate the LEARN button.
- Press the LEARN button.
- Immediately point the remote control towards the front of the alarm unit and press the ARM button. The alarm will sound a single short tone, and the indicator light will stop flashing, confirming the link. The alarm unit will now respond to the remote.
- Replace the alarm unit's battery compartment cover and secure the screw. The alarm is now in standby mode.
Note: Additional remotes can be added by following the same programming procedure.
Installation
The unit is designed for wall mounting using the included ball and socket mount, which allows flexibility in aiming the motion sensor.
- Choose a desired location, such as a room corner, for maximum coverage.
- Detection Zone: The sensor has a 15-20 ft. (4.6-6 m) detection zone with approximate angles of 110° horizontal x 70° vertical.
- Recommended Installation Height: 6 to 8 feet (1.8 to 2.4 meters).
- Secure the ball and socket mount to the wall using provided wall anchors or by screwing directly into a wall stud.
- Once the mount is securely installed, slide the bracket of the mount into the back of the alarm unit and lock it in place. You will hear a click when it is secured.
Operating Modes
Operating in ALARM Mode
- Locate the ALARM/CHIME switch on the side of the remote control.
- Slide the switch to ALARM mode.
Arming the Alarm
- Point the remote control at the front of the alarm and press the ARM button. The alarm will sound a tone, and the red indicator light will flash. An exit delay of 45 seconds allows time to leave the protected area without triggering the alarm.
- When motion is detected, the alarm unit will sound a short tone, and a red light will flash. The alarm will activate in 30 seconds. The siren will sound for 30 seconds (unless disarmed) and then turn off. After 15 seconds, the alarm will check for motion again. If motion is detected, the siren will sound again. This cycle repeats until the unit is disarmed.
Disarming the Alarm
When returning to the protected area, the unit will beep once if motion is sensed.
- Point the remote control at the front of the alarm unit and press the DISARM button within 30 seconds to disarm the alarm.
- If the correct remote control is not used within 30 seconds, the alarm will sound. During this entrance delay, the red indicator light will flash. Use the remote control at any time to deactivate the alarm.
Note: To test, cover the alarm with a cloth to reduce the risk of hearing damage.
Operating in CHIME Mode
The chime notifies you when motion is sensed in the area.
- Locate the ALARM/CHIME switch on the side of the remote.
- Slide the switch to CHIME mode.
Activating the Chime
Activate the chime by pointing the remote control at the alarm and pressing the 'ARM' button. The chime will sound once and again when motion is sensed.
Deactivating the Chime
Deactivate the chime by pointing the remote control at the alarm and pressing the 'DISARM' button.
Panic Feature
For immediate alarm with no delay, aim the remote at the front of the alarm and press and hold both the ARM and DISARM buttons on the remote control for 2 seconds. To turn off the panic alarm, aim the remote at the front of the alarm and press the DISARM button.
Testing Motion Sensor Operation
- Set the remote to CHIME mode and press the ARM button; the chime will sound once.
- After the initial chime, wait 15 seconds and wave your hand in front of the sensor. If the chime sounds immediately, the sensor is working properly.
- To discontinue the test, point the remote at the front of the alarm and press DISARM. Set the remote to ALARM mode.
Care and Maintenance
To clean the alarm housing, use a soft cloth slightly dampened with water and wipe dry. Do not use chemical agents, as this may damage and discolor the unit.
