SECTION 7 – TROUBLESHOOTING
Control Unit
Possible causes & cures
Power Indicator and all status LEDs do not light
up – unit totally “dead”
No power supply to unit. Check connections to
mains and backup battery.
Power Indicator does not light up and one of the
status LEDs (“HOME” or “OUT” or “OFF”)
illuminated.
Main supply off, unit operating from backup
battery.
Check mains connections /adaptor.
When power is applied, siren sounds and “OFF”
status LED (green) illuminated, “HOME” (red)
and “OUT” (red) LEDs are flashing.
Tamper fault on PIR detectors or external siren.
Check the wiring of the PIR zones (Zones 3 and
4) to Control Unit. Check the PIR detector cover
is correctly fitted and securely fastened. Check
PIR switch is set at correct position. Check the
tamper terminal of external siren wiring to control
unit. Ensure the tamper cable and signal cable are
correctly connected to its corresponding terminals
in the control panel.
“OFF” status LED (green) flashing.
Low backup battery condition in Control Panel,
replace batteries as soon as possible.
When “OUT” key is pressed, unit will not arm,
give “error” tone (one long beep) and zone 2
and/or zone 4 indicator(s) illuminates.
Indicated zone(s) open/triggered.
Check that zone 2 and/or 4 are cleared
(door/window closed, no movement near PIR),
and try again. Check PIR switch is set at correct
position.
When “HOME” key is pressed, unit will not arm,
give “error” tone (one long beep) and zone 1
and/or zone 2 indicator(s) illuminates.

PIR Detector
Possible causes & cures
Does not detect movement (PIR’s LED does not
light up when triggered).
Is the PIR’s LED turned off?
PIR causes false “intruder” alarms.
Check that PIR is not pointed at heat sources or
moving object, and is not mounted above a
radiator or other heater. Check PIR switch is set at
correct position.
PIR will not trigger alarm when the system is set
(armed).
PIR not yet warms up.
Wait for a couple of minutes and trigger the PIR

PIR detects movement (LED light up) but control
panel does not response/no alarm.
Check the PIR switch is not set at 0. PIR switch
must set at correct position.
