FAQs

What type of batteries does this alarm use?

The product description does not specify the exact battery type. Please refer to the product manual or the battery compartment for the required battery size (commonly AA or AAA) and quantity for both the alarm unit and remote controls.

How far away can the remote control operate the alarm?

The effective range for the remote controls is not specified. Typically, wireless remote controls operate within a reasonable distance, but this can be affected by obstacles and interference.

Can this alarm be used outdoors?

The product is described as ideal for sheds, garages, and caravans. While it can be used in these environments, it is not explicitly stated as weatherproof. Protection from direct rain and extreme elements is recommended.

What is the detection range of the motion sensor?

The sensor detects motion within a 110-degree angle. The specific distance range is not provided but is typical for PIR sensors used in indoor or close-proximity security applications.

Does this alarm connect to a smartphone?

No, this is a standalone wireless alarm system. It does not have smart capabilities or connect to a smartphone for notifications.

How loud is the alarm?

The volume of the alarm is not specified in decibels. It is designed to be audible and deter intruders in localized areas like sheds or garages.

Troubleshooting

Alarm does not sound when motion is detected

Ensure the alarm is armed using the remote control. Check that the batteries in both the alarm unit and remote controls are fresh and correctly inserted. Verify the motion sensor is not obstructed.

False alarms are being triggered

Adjust the mounting position to avoid direct sunlight, heat sources, or air vents that could cause false triggers. Consider if pets are within the detection zone; repositioning or using pet-immune sensors (if available in other models) might be necessary.

Remote control is not working

Replace the batteries in the remote control. Ensure the remote is within range of the main alarm unit. If multiple remotes were provided, test another remote to rule out a faulty unit.

Alarm sounds intermittently

Check for sources of intermittent movement within the detection area. Low battery levels can sometimes cause erratic behavior; try replacing the batteries.
