Sensor zones (groups)

Every sensor can be configured to be added to a dedicated zone (group) : normal group, home-group, single group or 24-hours group.

Remark: Determine before pairing with the alarm system in which group the sensor will be operational. Once the sensor is successfully paired with the system, the group cannot be changed after pairing!

Remark: If the group of a sensor needs to be changed all sensors need to be paired with the alarm system once again. It is not possible to remove one single sensor from a group! To remove all sensors send a text message with “21” to the alarm system.

Explanation of the groups

  • Normal-group: These sensors will be enabled when the alarm system is in full security mode or in-home security.
  • Home-group: These sensors will be enabled when the alarm system is in full security mode and will be disabled in-home security mode.
  • Single-group: These sensors will be enabled when the alarm is in full security mode or in-home security but with an addition of providing an entry delay before the alarm is triggered to provide time to disable the alarm (for example the front door).
  • 24-hours-group: These sensors are always enabled regardless the status of the security system (for example a smoke detector).

Configure the sensors in a group

Every sensor can be configured to be added to a dedicated group by setting the jumper settings; normal group, home-group, single group or 24-hours group.

Bellow you will see an overview of how to configure the jumper settings for that type of group.

Remark: It’s recommended to install detectors that need to be operational 24-hours, for example smoke detectors, in the 24-hours-group.

The default jumper settings for a window/door contact are D0, D1 and D2 (Normal-group), for the motion detector the default settings are D1 and D2 (Home-group).This means that the window/door contact will be enabled when the alarm system is in full security mode or in-home security. The motion detector will only be enabled when the alarm system is in full security mode. You can enable the full or in-home security by using the remote control, the “e-Alarm” APP or by using text messages on your mobile phone.

When the jumper settings are set to D1 and D2 the sensor is configured in the Home-group. In full security mode the sensor will be enabled. If In-home security is activated this sensor will be disabled.

When the jumper settings are set to D1 and D3 the sensor is configured in the Single group. The Single group has the same functionality as the normal group with an addition of adding an entry delay time for these sensors.

Remark : Sensors configured in the single group will be enabled in both security modes (Full, In-home) after a specified time.

When the jumper settings are set to D0, D1 and D3 these sensors are configured as 24-hours group. These sensors are always enabled regardless the status of the security system.
