Chapter 2 Usage in accordance with regulations
The ABUS wireless alarm system is used for protecting flats and homes and small to medium business objects. If the wireless alarm
system and its accessories are installed properly, it alerts you in the case of intrusion, warns you about fires, and calls for help in the
event of an emergency.
The wireless alarm system and its accessories are designed for protected interior spaces (environment class 1) and must be used
there only. Make sure that the specified environment conditions are met. If the specified environment conditions are not met, the
proper operation of the wireless alarm system and its accessories cannot be guaranteed. Besides false alarms, irreversible damage
can be done to components if the environment conditions are not met, even for a short period, leading to a complete failure in
individual components or the entire system.
The external wireless sounder and the wireless remote controls are exceptions to the environment class described above. Please note
the corresponding environment conditions for these products.
The wireless alarm system cannot prevent burglary, hold-ups, fire or vandalism. When properly installed, it is used for local information
and the forwarding of this information by telephone using voice messages.
The wireless alarm system works on a frequency band in the 868MHz frequency range specially protected for alarm systems. This
prevents other consumer products such as baby phones disturbing the operation of the wireless alarm system. However, it cannot be
excluded that radio transmission is temporarily or permanently interfered with by defective components of other electrical or electronic
products such as ventilator fans, antenna boosters, etc. Furthermore, radio transmission can also be interfered with consciously and
wantonly from outside. However, the wireless alarm system is capable of detecting and reporting such disturbances when normal radio
traffic is no longer ensured.
All accessories of the wireless alarm system work with batteries that have only a limited service life. The system monitors the battery
condition of the accessories and reports in advance when the accessory batteries have to be replaced. You should then replace the
batteries as soon as possible. The accessories work only as long as there is sufficient power available for proper operation. If this is no
longer the case, they automatically go out of operation. A detector in this state can no longer fulfil its function.
The wireless alarm system is supplied with energy from the general power supply network and has standby rechargeable batteries for
emergencies. The standby batteries maintain full operation of your wireless alarm system for several hours. However, the system is
not designed for permanent battery operation. If there is a longer power failure, the energy of the standby batteries will be used up.
The alarm system works only as long as there is sufficient power available for proper operation. If this is no longer the case, it
automatically goes out of operation. The functions described are then no longer available.
All information and programming settings are saved in a long-term memory (EEPROM) and are available again following a complete
failure of the system (even after several months). When you restart the system, all you have to do is correct the date and time.
Chapter 3 Safety information
For damage caused by non-compliance with these installation instructions, no guarantee claims are possible. No liability can
be accepted for resulting damage.
In the case of material or personal damage caused by improper operation or non-compliance with the security notes, no
liability or guarantee claim can be accepted.
For security and authorisation reasons (CE), the unauthorised alteration and/or changing of the alarm system and its components is
not permitted.
Only a regulation network power socket (230 Volt / 50 Hz or 110Volt / 60Hz) of the public supply network can be used as a power
source.
Make sure the alarm system is correctly put into service. Follow these installation instructions carefully to ensure this.
The equipment should be installed and started up by a correspondingly qualified person to ensure the safe operation of this product.
When installing the product, make sure the supply power line is not restricted or damaged by sharp edges.
Never install the alarm system near combustible or easily flammable materials such as curtains.
Do not expose the alarm system to high temperatures, strong vibrations or dampness.
Equipment operated with mains electricity should be kept out of the reach of children. For this reason, be particularly careful when
children are present.
In commercial institutions, ensure compliance with accident prevention regulations issued by professional bodies responsible for
electrical equipment.
Pay special attention to passages marked with an exclamation mark in these instructions. These identify particularly important
