alarmtec Olarm Pro IDS 806 Installation Guide
Locate your alarm panel

STEP 3
Scan QR code, or navigate to your app store on your device and search for
‘Olarm’. This Olarm PRO will require an active subscription to function.
Please contact your installer or speak to

Mount your device using the screws and drill template provided. We suggest
mounting the Olarm PRO device on a wall or on the outside of the alarm panel.
Please do NOT mount the Olarm PRO inside the alarm box or near any other radio equipment. This will reduce the signal strength and result in your device not functioning correctly.
Troubleshooting
If your device LED remains flashing green for more than 3 minutes – please check the connection between the Olarm PRO and the alarm panel.
If your device LED is red – please check the connection between the Olarm PRO and the alarm panel.
If your device LED is orange – please ensure that the Olarm PRO is located in
an area with good mobile signal
strength. If it is not, please ensure that your device is connected to WiFi
using the wizard inside the Olarm app
If your device LED is not coming on – please check the connection between the Olarm PRO and the alarm panel and that the alarm panel is connected to power.
