✅ Instructions: Back Door “Always On” Monitoring
🔍 What You Want
-
The back door should always be protected
-
If opened → alarm sounds immediately
-
During deliveries → staff can temporarily disable the alarm
-
No false alarms sent to monitoring (CMS) during the day
-
At night → full alarm + monitoring should activate
⚠️ The Problem
-
If the door entry sensor is set to “Always On,” it triggers every time it opens
✅ The Simple Solution (How It Works)
We use 2 separate sensors on the same door:
🔵 Sensor 1 – Main Alarm System (Night Protection)
-
Connected (paired) to the alarm panel

-
Used when the system is armed (night / closed hours)
-
Triggers:
-
Siren
-
Monitoring station (CMS)
-
Event logs
-
🔴 Sensor 2 – Siren Only (Daytime Protection)
-
Connected (paired) only to the external siren (not the alarm panel)
Pairing Instructions
1. Have the external siren and Sensor 2 in front of you.
2. Hold down the set button on the siren for 3 to 4 seconds or until the siren lights up.
3. When the siren lights up, pull the entry sensor 2 (Magnet and Main sensor parts) apart to pair with the siren.
4. The siren will beep once and the siren light will turn off, indicating that Sensor 2 was paired with the siren.
-
Always active unless turned off
-
Triggers:
-
Loud siren only
-
-
Does NOT:
-
Notify CMS monitoring (no false alarms)
-
Show in app
