Kit Contents

Control Panel

The Control Panel is the hub of your alarm system. It must be powered on and connected to the internet at all times. When an alarm signal is transmitted from accessory devices, the Control Panel will activate its built-in buzzer to raise an alarm and report the event to the server, which in turn sends a notification to the user via email or smartphone push notification.

The Control Panel is purposely designed to resemble the appearance of a speaker and blend into your home environment.

- Rib Mark:

The Rib Mark marks the location of the Door Contact's internal magnetic switch to help alignment with the magnet.

- Magnet

The magnet is mounted on the door and window and should align with the Rib mark when installed.

PIR Sensor

The PIR Sensor raises an alarm upon detecting an intruder.

Parts Identification:

- LED Indicator & Learn & Test Button:

The LED will light up if the PIR Camera detects movement under tamper open or low battery status to signal a fault.

- PIR Sensor:

The PIR Sensor has a detection coverage of about 110 degrees to the front.

- Tamper Switch:

The tamper switch is located inside the PIR and is depressed against the back cover. It will be activated when the back cover is opened.

System Extension

Aside from the devices included in the package, you can further improve the capability of your alarm system by purchasing extra accessories. Such as extra PIR Sensor or Door Contact to extend your protection area; Remote Keypad for a secondary system operation platform; Smoke Detector for fire protection; Temperature Sensor for temperature updates; and more Power Switch for energy management and Home Automation. For information about more accessory devices, please visit www.blaupunkt.com

Before proceeding to install your accessory devices, you should first complete system registration on the Blaupunkt Home Connect server. Please refer to the Quick Start Guide or server user manual to complete the registration process and log into your user account.

Signal Range and Walk Test

All accessory devices in the Q3000 alarm kit use wireless radio protocol to communicate with the Control Panel to save you from the extra labor of wiring the device to the panel. All devices in the alarm system have an approximate range of 30 meters in a typical domestic environment. The range may vary depending on different home conditions. Before installing an accessory device, you should test its signal range at the selected mounting location first. To test signal range, use the Walk Test function from the Blaupunkt Home Connection server, then press the device's test button to transmit a test signal. Refer to the server user manual for more info.

Home Arm Mode Planning

The alarm system functions according to its current "Mode", which determines the system behaviour when a sensor is activated. There are 3 modes:

Disarm Mode: The system will not activate the alarm when a burglar protection sensor, such as a door/window contact or PIR sensor, is triggered. It will only activate the alarm if the user does so manually, or if a fire/water sensor is triggered.

Away Arm Mode: The system will activate the alarm when any sensor is triggered.

Home Arm Mode: The system will only activate the burglar alarm from specific sensors. Sensors set to be ignored under Home Arm mode will not activate the alarm when triggered. With Home Arm mode, you can keep your home perimeter under alert and still be able to move freely within the house.

Home Arm mode allows the system to be partially armed by deactivating some sensors under Home Arm mode. Before installation, you should plan ahead and determine which sensors should be deactivated for Home Arm mode. Usually, sensors deployed at the home perimeter and entry points, such as door contacts on the front gate, should be activated at all times. While sensors located in internal spaces, such as on the 2nd floor, can be deactivated for Home Arm mode. For more info about Home Arm mode settings, please refer to the server user manual.

Tamper Protection

Your intrusion protection sensors (PIR sensors and door contacts) are protected from sabotage attempts by a "tamper switch," which is triggered when the device cover is opened or removed from the mounted surface. When the tamper switch is triggered, the sensor will transmit a signal to the control panel to alert the user that the sensor may be either installed improperly or has been sabotaged. To make sure the tamper switch functions properly, please make sure the switch is fully depressed against the mounting surface when installing your accessory devices.

General Device Location Guideline

- Avoid mounting the control panel and devices close to large metal objects or electrical interference sources, such as refrigerators and microwave ovens, as they could affect signal strength. Wall material also plays a great role in signal penetration efficiency; for example, a brick wall will reduce signal strength much more than a wooden wall.

- For devices that have tamper protection function, mount on an even surface to ensure the tamper is fully closed when mounted. For uneven surfaces, use extra packing material on the back.

Device Location Planning:

PIR Sensor

Mount the PIR sensor at 1.9-2m height for best performance. When mounted at 2m height, the PIR sensor has a range of 12m. PIR sensor detection is most effective when the intruder is moving across its field of view from the sides. Do not mount the PIR sensor in a location that faces the intruder directly. Do not mount the PIR sensor directly exposed to sunlight, which may affect detection sensitivity. Do not point the PIR sensor at windows, moving objects, or sources of heat, e.g., fire or boiler.

Control Panel

The Control Panel should be mounted in a hidden area invisible from outside view. The Control Panel requires Ethernet connection to your router.

Mounting

Door Contact

1. Pull out the plastic battery insulator on the back to activate battery and power on Door Contact.
2. The Door Contact should be mounted on the door/window frame, while the magnet should be mounted on the door/window aligned with the Rib Mark on the Door Contact. The gap between the Door Contact and the magnet should be no more than 15 mm.
3. Choose to install the Door Contact with either screw or adhesive tape. Screw Mounting

The Door Contact has two knockouts on the inside of the back cover where plastic is thinner for wall mounting.

1. Open the Door Contact back cover to reveal the knockouts, break through the knockouts and use the knockouts to mark position on door or window frame.
2. Drill holes into door or window frame at marked location, insert plugs if needed.
3. Screw the back cover into marked location and replace the front cover.
4. Screw the magnet onto the door, the position of the magnet should be aligned with the rib mark on the Door Contact at the same height. If the magnet cannot be placed at same height of Door Contact, a spacer is provided in the package to increase the magnet height.

Adhesive Mounting

Before mounting with double side adhesive tape, you should clean the mounting location with degreaser and make sure there is no cracked paint or uneven surface.

1. Unpeel the cover on the double side adhesive tape, apply the tape to the back of Door Contact, then apply the Door Contact to door or window frame.
2. Use another double side adhesive tape to install the magnet on the door/window.

PIR Sensor

The PIR Sensor has knockouts on the back where plastic is thinner. The 2 central knockouts are for flat wall mounting, and the 4 side knockouts are for corner mounting.

1. Pull out the plastic battery insulator on the back to activate batteries and power on PIR Sensor.
2. Open the PIR Sensor back cover, break through the knockouts and use the knockouts to mark position on wall or corner.
3. Drill holes into the wall or corner at marked location, insert wall plugs if needed.
4. Screw the back cover into marked location and replace the front cover.

This chapter covers the potential issues you may encounter during system operation, and factory reset function

Control Panel

Control Panel Fault Orange LED indicates fault in system, When the LED light up, please login to your Blaupunkt Home Connection Server account to check fault events. The possible fault events include:

● Control Panel / Devices low battery:

-- Change device batteries or charge Control Panel battery accordingly.

- AC power fail:

-- Check AC power connection

● Sensor out of order:

-- Check device battery status and conduct Walk Test to confirm if the Control Panel can receive device signal.
