IPS This means that in normal operation the lights will not flash every time you move in front of the detector When the red light flashes on for 1 second this means that the detector has picked up and validated body movement or an intruder and an alarm code is transmitted The detector will now go into IPS mode for approximately 3 minutes During this time the detector will not trigger and no lights will turn on see section 3 8 2 for more information The wire which runs around the edge of the detector is the antenna Do not touch remove or cut this wire 6 1 2 What You Get Below is a list of parts included with system Item 1 Description Main control unit The unit incorporates a powerful siren flashing blue strobe amp backup battery to run the system in case of mains power failure There is also a tamper button The system has mains connection via a low voltage plug pack that is supplied with the unit For manual override of the system there is a keyswitch on the main unit Remote controls 2 x High Security Code Hopping Remote Controls These allow you to easily arm amp disarm the system from anywhere in your home In case of duress you can trigger the alarm at any time from the remote control The main unit requires a regular mains power supply The Watchguard is supplied with a 9V AC plug pack that connects to the main unit Screamer This high frequency siren gen
