At this point a ‘tamper warning’ will appear on your alarm. Simply enter your code to stop the alarm. N.B.1 when you disconnect the wires from the sensor if you have a tamper zone wired in, then this will set the alarm off.

Finally unscrew the backplate of the PIR sensor.

Please note, you must not touch we recommend putting some tape over each of the wire ends – especially the red and black wires – otherwise you are likely to short the alarm, and potentially blow a fuse / break the system.

Loosen the circuit board, but unscrewing a single screw.

If there’s a plastic ‘lens’ inside the sensor, carefully remove this too – as otherwise it’s likely to fall out.

Remove the PIR sensor lid – normally by unscrewing a single screw under the bottom of the sensor.

Here’s our quick guide to removing / replacing an alarm PIR sensor: If you’re decorating your house or doing some home renovations and need to move a PIR alarm sensor, then the good news is that it’s relatively straight-forward to do. Then EXIT and EXIT back to your usual display, then try entering engineer mode again as explained earlier.Quick guide to moving an alarm PIR sensor Set this to 0 DISABLED by using the A or B buttons, then press ENT to accept the change. To access MENU 48 dial your 4 digit user code and press ENT, wait on the screen to show 10 SETTING, then dial 48 (LVL 3 ACCESS) and press ENT. If you need to change the LEVEL 3 ACCESS it's MENU 48. I don't have this enabled on my system so I'm not familiar with what the screen might say, but if it asks you for a user code to proceed then obviously enter it. This is an option whereby a normal user needs to authorise entry for an engineer code. If this doesn't get you into engineer mode then your system has LEVEL 3 ACCESS enabled. The display will say CHECKING TAMPERS, then SYSTEM MODULES WAS 04 NOW 04 (maybe yours will differ slightly).

To exit engineer mode dial your 6 digit engineer code and press ESC.

To enter engineer mode dial your 6 digit engineer code and press ENT, the screen will say ALERT CODE, then repeat 6 digit code and ENT, the display should say ENGINEER MODE. I'm not an alarm expert so I'm not familiar with every single setting but I installed mine and have a fair understanding of it.Įntering engineer mode disables the tampers, thus allowing you to change your batteries, then exit engineer mode to restore the system.
