Proper use

The Electronic Watchdog EW01 consists of main unit EW01A, remote control EW01R and mains adapter.
The primary use of the unit is the simulation of a guard dog in order to deter a potential break-in to property.
The unit is placed inside the property, next to the location to be monitored (eg. front door, patio door) and it can be armed by pressing a button on the unit or on the remote control. The sensor in the unit can detect movement on the outside of the wall (eg. somebody approaches the front door) which triggers the simulation of a barking sound. Alternatively a chime or a siren sound can be generated. The siren sound can also be manually triggered by pressing the panic button on the remote control.
The unit can be expanded with optional accessories. Up to 6 wireless detectors (reed contacts to monitor doors or windows, or PIR-detectors to monitor movement in rooms) can be enrolled into the unit. A second remote control can also be added.
The unit is powered through the 12 V DC mains adapter which is connected to 230 VAC, 50 Hz. To maintain operation in case of mains power failure 8 AA size batteries (not supplied) can be installed. The remote control is powered by a 3V CR2032 size button cell.

The electric watchdog is intended for indoor use within private households. Any other use or change of the appliance is improper use. No liability shall be assumed for consequential damage as well as damage which is caused by improper use or incorrect operation.
This appliance is not intended to be used by people (including children) with restricted physical, sensory or mental capacities, or a lack of experience and/or knowledge, unless they are supervised by, or receive instructions how to use the appliance from, a person responsible for their safety. Children must be supervised in order to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.

Commissioning

Prise open the battery compartment cover [19] from the lower edge of the remote control [14].
Place the supplied CR 2032 battery [20] in the battery compartment [21] so that the “+” symbol is visible.
Replace the battery compartment lid onto the remote control.
If required, batteries can be installed in the main unit in order to keep the unit operational should the mains adapter power supply be interupted.
- Remove the three screws [12] with a suitable screwdriver.
- Remove the battery compartment cover [13] from the main unit.
- Place 8x suitable AA batteries in the battery compartment, paying attention to the polarity (see Fig. B).
- Replace the battery compartment cover.
Plug the DC-plug of the mains adapter [25] into the mains adapter connection [11] of the main unit.
Connect the mains adapter to a suitable mains power outlet.

Location

The microwave sensor detects mainly towards the rear side of the main unit (see Fig. C, I). It detects movement of objects (people, cars, animals etc.). The sensor can detect movement through objects or walls of wood, plastic,concrete and brick, the detection range is reduced by half (dependant on the material – see Fig. C., II).

The sensor cannot detect through metal objects, objects containing metal or thick objects (see Fig. D).
Avoid metal doors, cupboards and similar objects in the detection area (see Fig. D, I and III).
Ensure that there are no heat sources, microwave ovens or wireless surveillance cameras within the detection area, these can cause false triggering.
Place the main unit inside the property with the back side towards the wall on the other side of which the movement is to be detected, eg. next to the front door or patio door.
Place the main unit, if possible on a table or shelf directly against the wall (see Fig. D, II and IV).
You can also hang the unit on the wall at a height approx. 0.8 – 1.5m from the floor:
Drill two suitable holes with a horizontal separation of 5 cm.
Note: Test the function and the detection area from the proposed location before drilling the holes.
If required, place the supplied wall plugs [22] into the holes.
Secure the supplied screws [23] so that the screw heads protrude 5 mm out of the wall.
Hang the main unit on the wall so that the hanging slots [7] are located over the screw heads.

Do not place:

Through walls f caravans
The microwave sensor does not detect through the aluminum-coated walls. Can be used behind curtains directly through plastic windows.
Through glass windows
The microwave sensor does not detect through coated or wired glass or double glazing
Next to walls containing electrical wiring
Electrical fields can cause permanent triggering

Use

Push the switch [9] to the required position:
Bark mode
Chime mode
Siren mode (upper or lower position, there is no difference)
Turn the range adjuster [3] to the position “MAX”.
Turn the volume adjuster [4] to the required volume. The power LED [6] lights (colour: see chapter 11) and the unit is now in stand by mode.
To arm the unit, press the I/O button [10] or [17]. The armed mode will be indicated by illumination of the arm LED [5] and audiably by:
Bark mode 1x bark
Chime mode 2x “ding-dong”
Siren mode 3 peeps
After a warm up period of approx. 60 sec. the readiness of the detector is signalled by one peep.

If motion is detected the unit reacts according to the set mode:

Bark mode

detection within 5 sec. 1 bark
detections within 5 sec. 3X bark
or more detections within 5 sec. 10 sec. Bark

Chime mode

detection 2x “ding-dong”

Siren mode

detection within 5 sec. 3 sec. Siren
or more detections within 5 sec. 20 sec. Siren

The detection range of the sensor can be adjusted using the range adjuster [3]. Set this at the minimum level required for the desired detection. At the maximim range setting the unit sensor is very sensitive and may react to other disturbances.
Use the adjuster [4] to set the desired volume.
To disarm the unit and to cancel the reaction to movement press the buttons [10] or [16]. The LED [5] is no longer illuminated.
To manually activate a siren sound for approx. 20 sec. Press the panic button [18] on the remote control. This function can be activated when the unit is in armed or disarmed mode. If the unit was in the armed mode it will remain armed after the 20 sec. siren.
To cancel the siren sound within 20 sec. Press the button [10] or [16]. If the unit was armed, it will now be disarmed.
To turn off the unit turn the button [4] to the position “OFF” (a click sound can be heard). After a short pause, the power LED [6] is no longer illuminated.
To turn on the unit into standby mode turn the button [4] clockwise to the required volume setting.

Adding optional wireless components /Deleting all the wireless components

The following optional components can be enrolled into the main unit:

Additional remote control EW01R (max. 1x) (Art.-No. 33557) / MA80R and up to a total 6x of the following detectors:
Wireless door/window contact MA80KM (Art.-No. 33552)
Wireless PIR-movement detector (indoor) MA 80 P (Art.-No. 33551)
Each wireless component has a unique coding set in the factory. This code must be enrolled into the main unit:
Install the batteries into the wireless component. Ensure that the main unit is not armed, the LED [5] is not illuminated.
Depress the LEARN button [8] until a peep sound can be heard. The unit is now in the learning mode for 20 sec. (LED [5] flashes).
Move within the detection area of the MA80P, or separate the magnet away from the reed switch of the MA80KM, or press a button on the EW01R / MA80R. A coded signal will be transmitted to the main unit.
Two long peep sounds will confirm the successful enrollment of the code of the component into the main unit.
If within 20 sec. no component has been enrolled the learning mode will be automatically cancelled. This is signalled by 4 peep sounds.
Repeat the above steps for each component. If a component is enrolled
for a second time the first enrollment is automatically cancelled.

If a wireless detector is activated (from MA80KM door or window opened, movement detected by MA80P) when the main unit is armed, then the unit reacts depending on the mode setting as follows:

bark mode: 10 sec. bark
chime mode: 2x “ding-dong”
siren mode: 20 sec. siren

Deleting all the wireless components (e.g. if the remote control is lost):

Deactivate the EW01 by pressing the button [10] or [16] once. The LED [5] goes out.
Press and hold the “LEARN” button [8] for approximately 20 seconds until you hear a long beep first of all and two beeps (one long, one short) later on as confirmation. All the wireless components are now deleted.
