Frequently Asked Questions - SWADS-GATEAK SWANN

How do I install the Swann SWADS-GATEAK doorbell?

Mount the push button outside using the included screws and connect the two wires to the chime unit terminals. The chime unit plugs into a standard indoor power outlet. Full instructions are in the manual.

Can I use this doorbell with a wired transformer?

Yes, it requires 8-24V AC. If you have an existing doorbell transformer, you can connect directly to the chime unit; otherwise use the included plug-in adapter.

How do I change the melody?

Press the 'Melody' button on the chime unit repeatedly to cycle through 8 tunes until you find the desired one.

Why is my doorbell not sounding?

Check that the chime unit is plugged in and the power is on. Ensure the push button wires are securely connected. Try a different melody or adjust the volume.

Is the push button weatherproof?

Yes, the button has an IP54 rating, meaning it is protected against dust and splashing water. Install it under an eave for best longevity.

Can I wire multiple push buttons to one chime?

No, this model supports only one push button per chime unit. For multiple entrances, purchase additional kits.

How loud is the chime?

The volume is adjustable via a knob on the chime unit. The maximum sound level is approximately 85 dB.

Does the doorbell work if the power goes out?

No, it requires AC power to operate. There is no battery backup.

Can I extend the wires between button and chime?

Yes, you can use standard low-voltage wire (22-18 AWG) up to 100 feet total run. Ensure connections are secure and weatherproof.

What should I do if the chime unit does not light up?

Check the fuse inside the chime unit. Remove the cover and inspect the glass fuse; if blown, replace with a 1A 250V fuse.

USER MANUAL SWADS-GATEAK SWANN

Thank you for choosing the Gate Alert Kit from Swann. It's the ideal system to detect unwanted access into a restricted area through the gate or door.

How does it work?

Basically, there are two parts to the Gate Alert Kit.

1. The Indoor Alarm Receiver works as an alarm buzzer. It monitors for signals coming from the Gate Sensor, and activates the alarm and channel LED indicator in response to that signal.
2. The Gate Sensor consists of a wired switch and a magnet which help safeguard a gate or door from being opened without your knowledge. If the Delay button is not pressed and the gate or door is opened, the Gate Sensor sounds its built-in siren immediately and sends a signal to the Indoor Alarm Receiver.

Getting to know your Gate Sensor

Getting to know your Indoor Alarm Receiver

Your Gate Sensor is assigned to channel 1 by default. Each channel is capable of supporting up to 15 sensor devices. Features denoted with * require separate purchase of an add-on Doorbell.

Battery Safety Information

Replace batteries at the same time. Do not mix new and old batteries or battery types (for example, alkaline and lithium batteries). Keep batteries out of reach of children. Dispose of used batteries promptly in accordance with local regulations.

Indoor Alarm Receiver

Installing batteries

1. Push the release tab and lift off the battery compartment cover.
2. Insert 3 new "AA" alkaline batteries, matching the polarity markings (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.
3. Put the battery compartment cover back on by pressing down until the release tab clicks into place.

Placing your receiver

There is no requirement to mount the Indoor Alarm Receiver. As it is also completely freestanding, you may find it more convenient to place it on a shelf or table. One of the benefits of a battery operated wireless receiver is that if you have a large house, you can take the receiver with you. No more missing visitors because you were all the way at the back of the house or by the pool!

If you would like to mount the Indoor Alarm Receiver, we've included all the gear (template, screws and wall plugs) you'll need to hang it on the wall. Refer to the supplied template for instructions on mounting the receiver.

Gate Sensor

CAUTION: The Gate Sensor siren is extremely loud! Protect your hearing by wearing earplugs.

Installing batteries

The Gate Sensor requires 3 x AAA batteries (not included) to operate.

1. Remove the screws from the battery compartment cover, and then lift up the cover.
2. Insert 3 new "AAA" alkaline batteries, matching the polarity markings (+ and -) inside the battery compartment.
3. Screw the battery compartment cover back into place.

Mounting the Gate Sensor

The Gate Sensor can be easily mounted to a surface next to a gate/door using the included mounting plate, screws and wall plugs (if mounting to brick or concrete). Be sure to install the Gate Sensor high enough so it's out of reach of small children.

Mounting the switch and magnet

The sensor switch and magnet are each fitted with an adhesive strip. Stick the sensor on the gate/door frame (the stationary part), and the magnet on the gate/door (the moving part) itself. Press firmly against surface for 30 seconds to create a strong bond. For proper detection, the sensor and magnet must be aligned side by side with their arrows pointing to each other, no more than 3/8" apart.

OPERATING BASICS

Bypass feature

The Gate Sensor provides a 7-second delay in which you can open the protected gate or door, and close it, without sounding the alarm. Simply press the Delay button before opening the gate or door. The status LED on the Gate Sensor will blink to indicate "Bypass" is on. If the gate or door is not closed within this time frame, the Gate Sensor will sound immediately (for 6 seconds in 3 cycles) and also set off the Indoor Alarm Receiver. To stop the alarm, close the gate or door.

Adjusting the alarm volume

You can change the loudness of the Indoor Alarm Receiver using the Volume button on the back of the receiver.

Three volume levels are available: High, Medium and Low.

Silent mode

Like some peace and quiet for a period of time from the Indoor Alarm Receiver? You can put the alarm triggered by the Gate Sensor on “silent”. Simply press the Channel button that corresponds with the Gate Sensor. The Indoor Alarm Receiver beeps twice, confirming the alarm has been turned off.

If the Gate Sensor is triggered while the alarm is muted, you will still be visually alerted by the corresponding Channel LED indicator blinking on the Indoor Alarm Receiver. Note that muting the receiver does not also prevent the Gate Sensor from sounding.

To unmute the alarm, press the corresponding Channel button again. You will hear a single confirmation beep from the Indoor Alarm Receiver.

Low battery warning

Your devices will let you know when batteries are running low on power.

• Install new batteries immediately for the Indoor Alarm Receiver when all four LED indicators start blinking at the same time.
• Install new batteries immediately for the Gate Sensor when the status LED starts blinking continuously.

Re-pairing your Gate Sensor / Changing channel

The Gate Sensor and Indoor Alarm Receiver in your kit have been factory paired so all you have to do is put batteries in and your devices are ready to use. If for some reason pairing is lost or you just want the Gate Sensor paired to another channel for a different alarm (each channel has a distinct sound), here's how to do it:

1. Make sure the sensor switch and magnet is in a "closed" position (if mounted, the gate or door should be closed).
2. Press and hold the Reset button on the back of the Indoor Alarm Receiver until all the LED indicators light up. This resets the receiver.
3. Decide which channel (1, 2 or 3) you want to assign the Gate Sensor to, and then press and hold the desired Channel button on the back of the Indoor Alarm Receiver until the LED indicator for that channel lights up.
4. Within 10 seconds, trigger the Gate Sensor by separating the sensor switch and magnet (if mounted, open the gate or door). The Indoor Alarm Receiver sounds the channel alarm and flashes the channel LED to confirm successful pairing.
