• In addition to the DC power source,
there is a rechargeable battery inside
the UniAlert that serves as a back up
in case of power failure.
• The battery used is a 4.8V 600mAH
Ni-mH rechargeable battery pack.
• During normal operation, the DC
power source is used to supply power
to the UniAlert and at the same time
recharge the battery.
• When the battery is fully charged, it
can provide back-up power for a
period of at least 6 hours. It takes
approximately 48 hours to fully charge
the battery.

Arm/Disarm Input Terminal:
• The system enters Arm mode when
the circuit is short.
• The system enters Disarm mode
when the circuit is open.
Exit Timer is ineffective if the system
is armed via this device. That is, the
UniAlert enters Arm mode immediately
when the circuit is short.
Pins 9 & 10 Alarm Output (N.O.)
• When an alarm is triggered, the device
connected to Alarm Output will change
the status from open to short (activate),
until Alarm Length time is expired or when
the UniAlert is disarmed. Then the status
will change from short to open (deactivate)
again.

1.5. How to install the UniAlert
Locating a suitable position for the
UniAlert
• The UniAlert requires DC power and a
constant GSM reception.
• The UniAlert should be easily accessible,
• The UniAlert should not be placed in a
damp place, such as a bathroom.
• The UniAlert should not be placed close
to any heat source, such as microwave
ovens, which can reduce signal srength.
• The UniAlert should not be located
alongside other radio transmitting devices
such as mobile phones, cordless phone or
wireless computer network (WiFi) devices.
Impontant: When drilling into a wall, ensure
that there are no hidden cables or pipes.
Mounting the UniAlert
The UniAlert is to be mounted on the wall. It is
recommended to install the UniAlert
approximately 1.8 meters above ground level
(top edge). The detection range is 10 meters at
90° angle.
In order to provide highest security in operating
the system, UniAlert offers 2 levels of
authorization. To program the system, you
must enter Master Code.
PIN Code
• There are a total of 4 User PIN codes in
the system. The PIN code is the 1st level
of password.
• User 1 PIN code cannot be deleted in
any way.
• 1234 is set as default User 1 PIN code by
the factory.
• User 2 to 4 PIN codes are deactivated by
factory default.
User PIN codes may not be identical.
If you set the same number, the unit
will emit 4 short beeps to alert the user.
Master Code
• The Master Code has the authorization to
enter Programming mode and cannot be
deleted in anyway.
• 1111 is set as default Master Code by the
factory.
Master Code and User PIN code may
be the same.
• Using the 2 holes of the wall mounting
bracket as a template, mark off the holes’
positions.
• Drill 2 holes and insert the wall plugs if
fixing into plaster or brick.
• Hook the UniAlert onto the wall mounting
bracket.

1.7. Getting Started
4

Step 1. Find a suitable location for the
UniAlert to be installed.
Step 2. Apply power, and you will hear 2
beeps. Please wait for approximately
2 minutes for the system to search for
a GSM reception; the Green LED
flashes.
Step 3. Wait for about a minute. When a GSM
reception is found, the Green LED
becomes steadily on and the GSM
LED is flashes slowly (300ms On /
3.0s Off). The system is now in
Disarm mode.
If after a few minutes, the Green LED
(1s On / 1s Off) and the GSM LED
(500ms On / 500ms Off) are still
flashing, it means GSM activation has
failed. Please check if the SIM card is
properly inserted and GSM reception
is available.

• Use command 10 to set/change own
Master Code. Usage as below:
101111
1111 is set as factory default.
2.5. Entry Time
The system goes into counting down period
(away entry timer) when the PIR is triggered
under Arm mode.
During the counting down period, it is allowed
to use correct PIN code to disarm the alarm
and the alarm reporting will not be sent. On the
other hand, if the correct PIN code has not
been entered within the period, UniAlert raises
an alarm and sends an alarm report.
To set/change Entry Timer, use command 22
with options of 00 (alarm immediately), 01 (1
sec), 02 (2 sec)…up to 70 (70 sec). Usage as
below:
2200
2270
Where:
00 = 0 sec (alarm immediately)
