PLANNING YOUR HOME SECURITY NEEDS
Before you begin to install your security system, analyze the premises to deter- mine your security needs. Consider those doors and windows which are more likely to be used as points of entry by an intruder, the ones that are poorly lit or the entrances that can not be seen from the street.
Sketch a map of the premises and determine which doors and/or windows need contact sensors and which areas of the premises need to be monitored by a motion sensor. We recommend that you put one door/window sensor on the door you enter/exit from most often, the other sensor on your secondary entrance and your motion sensor monitoring the bedrooms, (stairway or hallway leading to the bedrooms).
If you have determined that you need additional sensors, see Additional Accessories on page 27.
Below is an example of how to position your security system in a house.

You may choose to install a motion sensor to protect any valuables such as antiques or paintings. Point the motion sensor directly at the valuables and if they are disturbed in any way the alarm will be sounded.
INSTALLATION
The Control Panel, door/window sensors and the motion sensor are installed using the screws included. We have also included double sided tape, (for the door/window sensor and the motion sensor) to use for temporary installation while you are positioning the sensors. Once all the sensors are positioned correctly, install them permanently with the screws. We have also included wall anchors and templates to help position the screws correctly.
How to use the templates:
1.Cut the template required.
2.Tape it in position.
3.Screw part way into the surface where the holes are marked.
4.Unscrew the screws and remove the template.
5.Screw the component in place where you started the screws.
INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL (SC-001)
Position the Control Panel near the door you use to enter/exit from most often and within access of an electrical outlet. The Control Panel runs on regular elec- trical current. It also contains a 9 volt backup alkaline battery in case power is interrupted for any reason.
There are 3 ways to attach the Control Panel on the wall:
1.Use double sided tape for temporary use.
2.Hanging it from the two keyholes on the two stationary screws.
3.Screwing the back onto the wall with 4 screws.
To mount the Control Panel:
1. Open the case.
a) Press the two tabs on top of the
Control Panel
b)Pull open the front
2.Thread the AC adapter cord through the large hole in the back of the unit and plug it into the circuit board as shown. The Adapter cord must be inserted through the back of the unit before it is attached to the wall.
3.Insert the 9 volt alkaline battery and rotate the antenna from the inside of
the Control Panel to the outside.
