Functions With this TV simulator you can simulate the fl icker patterns of a switched-on television and so feign your presence to potential burglars. For this purpose 5 diff erent settings are available: ON: the LEDs light up in diff erent colours and combinations. DUSK+2HRS: the LEDs switch on automatically at dusk and then light up for 2 hours. DUSK+4HRS: the LEDs switch on automatically at dusk and then light up for 4 hours. DUSK+6HRS: the LEDs switch on automatically at dusk and then light up for 6 hours. OFF: the appliance is switched off . Setup Select a suitable location for setting up the appliance. This location must fulfi l the following criteria: ― The TV Simulator may not be directly visible from outdoors. ― The fl ickering generated by the TV simulator must be visible on the walls and/or ceiling from outdoors. ― A power socket must be easily accessible. ― The TV Simulator must be installed such that it can be infl u- enced by the twilight. This means that the fall of light from outside must be given! It should also be borne in mind that, the closer the appliance is to a wall, the less light the twilight sensor 8 will have fall on it. ― The TV Simulator may not be located near a window which could be well lit from outdoors, such as on a busy street or next to street lights. ― There should be no additional time-controlled light source in the room, e.g. a night light.

STS 12 A2 ♦ Place the appliance on a fi rm and fl at surface so that it is stable and secure. To help prevent it from tipping over, you can secure the stand 5 with the adhesive strips.

Do not use the adhesive strips to hang the appliance on a wall! The appliance may fall down and be irreparably damaged! ♦ Align the light surface 1 so that the fl icker is visible on the walls and/or ceiling ♦ Connect the power adapter 2 with the appliance by inserting the barrel connector 3 into the plug socket 4 at the rear side of the appliance. ♦ Connect the power adapter 2 into a power socket. NOTE

It is best to check the location and alignment of the appliance in the dark from outdoors and through the window. Only in this way can you assess whether the appliance is aligned so that it appears as if someone is watching television inside. If necessary, realign the appliance. Wall mounting RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK! Ensure that there are no power cables or other conduits or pipes in the wall at the location where you intend to bore the holes for the wall holder. It would be a potentially fatal risk to bore into a current carrying electric cable! IB_102656_STS12A2_SE_DK_BE.indb 8 24.06.14 08:379 STS 12 A2

Select a suitable mounting location for the appliance: ― The TV Simulator may not be directly visible from outdoors. ― The fl ickering generated by the TV simulator must be visible on the walls and/or ceiling from outdoors. ― A power socket must be easily accessible. ― The TV Simulator must be installed such that it can be infl uenced by the twilight. This means that the fall of light from outside must be given! Take note that when wall mounted, the twilight sen- sor 8 is very close to the wall which aff ects the fall of light. ― The TV Simulator may not be located near a window which could be well lit from outdoors, such as on a busy street or next to street lights. ― There should be no additional time-controlled light source in the room, e.g. a night light. ♦ Remove the stand 5 by bending it slightly apart and then pull the restraints out of the mountings. ♦ Drill two holes with a spacing of about 45 mm. Use the stand 5 to mark the holes: the spacing will thus be measured correctly. The boreholes must be suitable for 8 mm wall plugs. ♦ Insert the supplied plugs into the holes and screw the stand 5 fi rmly down through the holes for wall mounting 7 using the supplied screws. ♦ Push the TV Simulator back onto the stand 5. Ensure that the two cross-shaped restraints engage correctly with the mountings. IB_102656_STS12A2_SE_DK_BE.indb 9 24.06.14 08:37GB

Before you connect the appliance to the power supply, check to ensure that the required input voltage as given on the type plate tallies with that for the intended power source. ► Check to ensure that the cable for the power adapter 2 is not damaged and that it does not lead over hot surfaces and/or sharp edges, otherwise it could be damaged. ► Ensure that the cable for the power adapter 2 is not over-taut or kinked. ♦ Connect the power adapter 2 with the appliance by inserting the barrel connector 3 into the plug socket 4 at the rear side of the appliance. ♦ Align the light surface 1 so that the fl icker is visible on the walls and/or ceiling. ♦ Connect the power adapter 2 into a power socket.

Operation ♦ When it gets dark early, for example, in the winter months, set switch 6 to “DUSK+6HRS“. 3 green LEDs light up immediately. The appliance becomes active at dusk and, for 6 hours, simu- lates the fl ickering of a television. After 6 hours the appliance switches itself off , except for the 3 green LEDs. As soon as it is dusk again, the appliance switches back on for 6 hours. To switch your appliance off again, you need to slide switch 6 to the position “OFF“. NOTE

In the case of exposure to light (> ca. 30 lux) the TV Simula- tor also switches off before the 6 hours have lapsed. ♦ Set the switch 6 to “DUSK+4HRS“, for example, during autumn and spring. 2 blue LEDs light up immediately. The appliance becomes active at dusk and, for 4 hours, simulates the fl ickering of a television. After 4 hours the appliance switches itself off , except for the 2 blue LEDs. As soon as it is dusk again, the appliance switches back on for 4 hours. To switch your appliance off again, you need to slide switch 6 to the position “OFF“. NOTE

In the case of exposure to light (> ca. 30 lux) the TV Simulator also switches off before the 4 hours have lapsed. IB_102656_STS12A2_SE_DK_BE.indb 11 24.06.14 08:37GB

STS 12 A2 ♦ When it gets dark late, for example, in the summer months, set switch 6 to “DUSK+2HRS“. A red LED lights up immediately. The appliance becomes active at dusk and, for 2 hours, simu- lates the fl ickering of a television. After 2 hours the appliance switches itself off , except for the red LED. As soon as it is dusk again, the appliance switches back on for 2 hours. To switch your appliance off again, you need to slide switch 6 to the position “OFF“. NOTE

In the case of exposure to light (> ca. 30 lux) the TV Simulator also switches off before the 2 hours have lapsed. ♦ Place switch 6 at “ON” to have the appliance permanently switched on. To switch your appliance off , you need to slide switch 6 to the position “OFF”. NOTE

Neither this TV Simulator, nor any other simulation systems, can guarantee that you will not be burgled. However, the TV Simulator conveys to potential burglars that someone is at home and watching TV. ► In every case, we recommend good door locks and anti-burglar aids, such as security doors and windows, as well as an alarm system, to deter burglars from breaking into your home. IB_102656_STS12A2_SE_DK_BE.indb 12 24.06.14 08:3713 STS 12 A2

Ensure that, when cleaning it, no moisture can penetrate into the appliance, so as to avoid irreparable damage to it. ► Ensure that you remove the power adapter 2 from the power socket before cleaning the appliance. ♦ Clean the surfaces of the appliance and the power adapter 2 with a soft, dry cloth. ♦ For stubborn soiling, use a damp cloth and possibly add a mild detergent to it. ♦ Ensure that the appliance and the power adapter 2 are com- pletely dry before using them again. Storage Should you decide not use the appliance for an extended period, disconnect it from the power supply and store it in a clean and dry location away from direct sunlight. If the appliance is mounted to the wall, disconnect it from the power socket. Disposal of the appliance Do not dispose of the appliance in your normal domestic waste.
