Frequently Asked Questions - SW351-KCG SWANN

How do I set or change the passcode?

Open the battery compartment and press the LEARN button. Enter your 4-digit passcode slowly, waiting for a quick beep after each digit. A longer beep confirms the new code.

Operating Instructions

IMPORTANT - Read Before Installing

- Do not install the alarm unit near devices which generate magnetic fields (such as microwaves).

Do not• install any the alarm unit in direct sunlight.

Use only alkaline batteries.

All components are for indoor use only.• Do not install outdoors.

Replace the batteries in the unit every six months.

• Test the alarm periodically (every 1 - 2 months and each time you change the batteries) to ensure it is working properly.
• This alarm system is designed to be, and acts as, a theft deterrent. This system, like any other, cannot offer complete protection for your home or business - it is simply an alarm system. Like all practical systems, it has limitations and it could be disabled by a skilled intruder. We suggest that you avoid relying solely on this magnetic switch alarm to protect your property, but use it as part of a comprehensive security solution. You can increase your level of protection through the use of high-quality locks, stronger doors, guards for your windows and a CCTV system and recording devices.

About the Alarm Unit

Congratulations on your purchase of this keypad controlled magnetic alarm from Swann! This simple but powerful stand-alone alarm unit can be used to secure almost any door or window you want.

Selecting Modes

The Mode Select Switch is located within the battery compartment.

Alarm Mode: When the alarm is tripped, a thirty second countdown will begin - the indicator LED on the front of the alarm unit will flash during this countdown. During this time, the alarm can be disarmed by entering your passcode. If the passcode is not entered, the alarm will sound at full volume.

Chime Mode: Each time the alarm is tripped, the alarm unit will chime, much like a doorbell. The alarm does not need to be armed.

Arming Delay

When you use your passcode to arm the system, it will enter an arming delay of forty-five seconds. The indicator LED will flash during this time, and the alarm cannot be tripped. This is intended to give you time to arm the alarm unit and leave the area.

Installation

The alarm unit should be mounted on a door or window frame, and the magnetic trigger should be mounted on the door or window itself. When the door/window is closed, two black arrows (the one on the trigger and either one on the alarm unit) should be as close to touching as practicable.

To mount the alarm unit:

Attach the alarm unit using one of the provided screws - the mounting hole is in the • upper centre on the rear of the alarm unit.

Using the two smaller screws, attach the magnetic trigger to the door/window. Ensure that when the door or window is shut that the two black arrows are as close to touching as they can be. The alarm will be triggered if the arrows are moved more than approximately 1/3" (about 8-10mm) apart.

Setting your Passcode

Your passcode must be four digits long, and should be something that you will remember. Try to avoid obvious combinations (such as 1234 or similar).

Inside the Battery Compartment showing the Mode Switch and LEARN button.

To set your passcode:

Open the battery compartment and press the button labeled • LEARN.

Enter your four digit passcode. When entering the passcode, press buttons slowly and deliberately, waiting for the alarm unit to beep quickly to confirm each button press.

A louder, longer beep will confirm that a new passcode has been set.

Replacing Batteries

The batteries in the alarm unit should be replaced every six months. If you're using the sensor in chime mode and get a lot of visitors, you may need to change them more often.

Open the battery compartment and remove any batteries already installed.

Replace with three fresh alkaline AAA batteries. Do not mix battery types. Do not use • rechargeable batteries.

Low Battery Indicator

When the batteries in the alarm unit are running out, the LED on the front of the alarm unit will flash slowly (more slowly than during the arming delay). If the LED starts flashing in this way, change the batteries as soon as possible.
