Overview

smpl Alerts m™ is a simple, complete and expandable home or business alert system.
smpl Sensors transmit Radio Frequency (RF) infraction signals to smpl Pagers up to 250 ft. (75m). Indoors or outdoors (see Fig 1)

• One sensor can signal multiple pagers.
• Up to 20 sensors can trigger each pager.
• Only Motion and Door Sensors are not water resistant. (indoor installation only)

Increase monitored points and alarm locations with additional Sensors and Pagers for increased safety.
(see Fig. 3) →
Please note that this instruction manual includes information on the entire range of SMPL pagers and sensors. The specific kit or combination which you purchased may or may not include all of the different accessories listed in this comprehensive manual.

 SENSORS

Important Tips

• • Sensors (transmitters) signal range to the Pager (receiver) is 100-250 ft. (30-75m) inside or outside the home (front/backyards or neighbors house}, depending on the structure and size of the residence, business or warehouse.
• Sensor transmission range can be affected by metal doors, walls, concrete, sensor installation height, and interference signals from other products.
• Each sensor can be set to the same or different pager alert melodies or volume settings.
• Purchased in kits, Sensors and Pagers are paired (wirelessly connected) right out of the box.  To change the Pager alert sound or volume settings, see section 5: Pairing Sensors to Pagers.

Door Sensor Installation

Familiarize

Receive Pager alerts when a monitored door, cabinet, cupboard, window or gate is opened. Door Sensors are designed for indoor use. Steel or iron metal doors may cause signal interference. In those cases, use 4 1/2 wooden spacer between both door/door frame & sensor/magnet.
Test and install

Before installation, please test the alignment on the door (cabinet, window, etc.) you identified to monitor. Please follow the simple steps below for headache-free installation.

(1) Remove the battery tab from the sensor. (2) Peal off the oval shaped double sided-tape (pre-installed on back of the magnet and sensor) (3) Close the door before you start. Install the Sens or & Magnet as high on the door and door frame as you can comfortably reach (minimum 3.5 ft form floor). Since you may need  to adjust positioning slightly, start by pressing them on lightly. Now align and center the sensors less than than 3/4 inch apart. There is no right side up for either Magnet or Sensor. See Fig. 3 & 4. If the door or the
frame is not a flat surface see Fig. 6 below. i) Successful positioning is determined by noticing a the blue light indicator on the surface of the door sensor when the door (cupboard or window) is opened. If so, you’re ready for final installation by fumly pressing both the Magnet and the Sensor for 10 seconds in place. If not, try repositioning the Sensor and Magnet closer together. You need to wait 5 seconds between migeers (re-opening door). Please see the Troubleshooting section at the end of this guide if the blue indicator light is not flashing.

Motion Sensor Installation

Familiarize
Receive Pager alerts when smpl Motion Sensors detect movement within a 20 ft. detection range. Installation locations include hallways, bedrooms, basements, attics, covered swimming pool or hot tub decks or any area you want to monitor movements. Detection range, sensitivity and false alarms are determined by the install location. The motion sensor is comprised of 2 parts, sensor and Fig. bracket (pre-installed). See Fig. 7. Tor

Install Location Tips

• The infrared beam projects straight ahead beg (detecting heat) and 55° to the right and left (total 110°) as well as downwards at 45°angle. See Fig. 8.

• Sensitivity of movement detection is based on the direction of moving object. Motion sensor should be installed So its beam faces a cross passage of a moving object. See Fig. 9 below.

• Recommended height for installation is 6-7 ft.(1.8 – 2.2 m) to cover maximal detection area.

• Install away from other heat radiation or radio frequency sources and strong air flow, which will affect detection sensitivity and may cause a false alarm, including: Air-conditioner, refrigerator,  lamp, heater, gas burner, Wifi router or any other source of heat or radio frequencies. Sensor lens should not be blocked or partially blocked by plants or other furniture.

• Avoid installing facing a window directly, which outdoor air flow or other moving object will cause false alarm. Before arming the system, pull curtains or blind to cover the window for better performance.

Test and install

Before final installation, test for movement detection. Please follow the simple steps below for| headache-free installation.

1. Remove battery tab from the sensor

2. Mount generally in two locations:
   a) Any room (positioned on ‘ wall to best detect ® Door cross pathway movement
   (on wall across form a monitored room exit). Croce pathway direction see  Fig 11
   Note: Install location in a room depends on doorentrance location. The goal is to mount the sensor so Fig. 11 the beam is pointing to a cross Pathway (perpendicular), ] as close as possible to that pathway. See Fig. 10

3. Determine installation method. The double-sided tape method is recommended (included). See ‘Alternative Hallway wall-mounted installation Installation Methods’ below.

4. Using the included double sided installation method, firmly attach the sticky pad on the back of the sensor bracket ( Fig. 15 ) by pealing one side of the tape. Now peal the other side and very lightly press the sensor (in case you need to adjust) to the wall location identified, approximately 6 to 7 feet off the ground (or as high as you can comfortably reach).
   Note: The motion sensor rotates inside the bracket to help point the sensor in the direction of the cross passageway.

5. Now test your desired positioning to ensure the sensor is triggered before final installation. Move your toy oss pathway’ mimicking a potential infraction and look for the sensor’s blue indicator light flash. Please wait 5 seconds between triggering when testing. If the light flashes, now you’re ready for final installation. Firmly press the motion sensor with bracket for 10 seconds in place. If you do not see the blue light indicator, please see the Troubleshooting section at end of this guide.

Alternative Sensor Installation Method 1: Screw/Anchors.
Please prepare an electric drill, Phillips screwdriver and slotted screw driver before installation.

1. Make two marks on the place of two mounting holes on the sensor bracket.
2. Drill two holes on the marked places, then insert the two plugs and bolts provided in the package.
3. Now slide in the sensor inside the bracket carefully.

Alternative Sensor Installation Method 2: Place on a shelf.

1. Simply place the sensor on a flat surface, at least 6 ft. from the floor, if the location is suitable for cross pathway detection.

Help Pendants

Familiarize
Pressing the white ALERT button sends alert signals to the Pager. Place the Help Pendant around the neck using the pre-installed neck strap, or detach the neck strap (Fig. 12) and place the FOB in a pocket or ona table near the user. The Help Pendant and neck strap are water resistant. They can hang ina shower or be exposed to light rain, but not exposed to direct water pressure or submerged in water.

Test
Test the transmission distance from the Help Pendant to the Pager in your home or work environment. First, carefully remove the battery tab. Estimate where the Pendant user may be situated in and around the area where they may need help. Now, estimate the furthest distance where the Pager user would potentially be situated. Now test for Pager alerts by having the Pendant user press the white ALERT button.
Note: The Help Pendants’ red LED will light up when the ALERT button is pressed. If you do not see the light indicator, please see the Troubleshooting section at the end of this guide.

PAGER

Familiarize
Pagers can be clipped on a belt, fitin your pocket, placed on a table or even wall mounted.
Pagers have 3 functions:
ON/OFF, VOLUME and MELODY. See Fig.13

Insert 2 x AAA Alkaline batteries (not included) in the back of the alarm, sliding off the battery cover. Turn on the alarm. The Indicator light on the front of the unit will NOT turn on. The LED flashes only when signaled by sensors.

Volume:
Select 1 of 4 volume levels. Using the enclosed miniature screwdriver, press the inset Volume Adjust button (See Fig 13) repeatedly for the desired volume level.

Melody:
Select from 50 melody alarm sounds. Scroll through the melodies by pressing the Melody Selection button inset on the back of the Alarm. (See Fig. 13
Note: The included Belt Clip is handy for portability if/when needed. Do not insert the belt clip in the back of the unit during these pairing of sensors to the pager(s) as it covers/protects the two inset control buttons, VOLUME and MELODY.

PAIRING SENSORS TO PAGERS

smpl Alerts Add-On device purchased separately – refer to the steps below for pairing. smpl Alerts kits (Sensor(s) plus Pager) – paired out of the box. However you can change the volume and/or melody by following steps 1 and 2.

Note: Pairing requires triggering the sensor quickly, so ensure you are located close to the sensors, whether they are installed or not.
Pairing is composed of two main steps; selecting the melody and volume followed by the pairing.

1. Select the Melody and Volume:
   • Turn on Alarm
   • Select your desired melody to pair to a particular sensor, by pressing the MELODY selection button ( ) repeatedly. See Fig 13.
   • Select one of four volume levels by pressing the inset VOLUME adjust button ( ) repeatedly. See Fig. 13.
   Note: Different or the same melody can be selected for multiple sensors or help pendants.

2. Pairing:
   • Set the pager into pairing (learning) mode by pressing the volume button ( ) for 5 seconds until you hear a short chirp sound. Now you have only § seconds to trigger the sensor you are pairing.
   • If triggered within 5 seconds successfully, you will immediately hear the melody and volume level you selected in step 1. If you hear a different melody than you selected, (or no melody) repeat steps 1 and 2.

TROUBLESHOOTING

Door Sensor
Problem: Door Sensor does not trigger when door opened (blue light does not flash on sensor).
Reason 1: Battery issue. Solution 1: Access the pre-installed battery and ensure it is securely in place inside the battery holder. See rig 14. Solution 2: Low power alert – installed battery is low or dead and requires replacement. Refer to ‘Sensor Battery Replacement’ section of this guide.
Reason 2: The door and/or frame is made of, or contains, certain metals which interfere with Sensors Radio Frequency. Solution: Use smpl Motion Sensors for these areas.
Reason 3: The sensor is defective and requires replacement within warranty period.
Solution: Please contact Technical Support.

Help pendants
Problem: Motion Sensor does not trigger within 20 ft. of installed motion sensor (the blue light does not flash on the sensor).
Reason 1: Battery issue. Solution 1: Access the pre-installed battery and ensure it is securely in place inside the battery holder. See Fig. 16 Solution 2: Low power alert – red LED light is weaker than normal or dead and requires replacement. Refer to ‘Help Pendant/Battery Replacement’ section of this guide.
Reason 2: The Help Pendants is defective and requires replacement within warranty period. Solution: Please contact Technical Support.

Motion Sensor
Problem: Motion Sensor does not trigger within 20 ft. of installed motion sensor (the blue light does not flash on the sensor).
Reason 1: Person moving is not moving in a cross pathway enough to be detected. Solution: Adjust install location of sensor to detect a more cross pathway moving direction.
Reason 2: Battery issue – low power alert. Solution: Low power alert – installed battery is low or dead and requires replacement. Refer to ‘Sensor Battery Replacement’ section of this guide.
Reason 3: The sensor is defective and requires replacement within warranty period. Solution: Please contact Technical Support.

Alarm
Problem: Alarm suddenly cannot receive working signals from sensors – does not ring or vibrate.
Reason 1: Low battery power battery in alarm and/or sensors. The less power in the sensors, the shorter signal range to the alarm. Solution: Refer to Battery Replacement section and replace alarm batteries first, followed by sensor batteries, if still not working.
Reason 2: A factory reset was done in error – sensor are no longer paired with the alarm. Solution: Pair the sensor to the alarm again. Refer to ‘Pairing Sensors to Alarms’ section.
Problem: Alarm rings randomly when no one was around to trigger the motion sensor.
Reason: There may be random movement of animals, high density frequency interference, heat radiation, or strong air flow in the detection range of sensor. Solution: Identify and eliminate or minimize the source of the false triggers.
Problem: Alarm sometimes doesn’t ring when someone passes through an expected motion detection area.
Reason 1: The movement of passerby may not be detected. One explanation is that there’s a 5-second time interval between 2 motion detections. If someone passes through the detection range quickly during the time interval, then the movement will not be detected. Note: this feature helps avoid constant alerting and ringing when a motion detection occurs. Reason 2: The infraction was detected but working range between alarm and sensor is shorter than before due to low power status of sensor. Solution 1: Replace sensor battery (refer to ‘Battery Replacement’ section). Solution 2: Pair the sensor(s) to the alarm again (refer to ‘Pairing Sensors to Alarms’ section).
Reason 3: Install location is not optimized. Solution: Change install location. Check the install location including height form the floor. Refer to the ‘Motion Sensor Installation- Test and Install’ section of User Guide. Remember you can rotate the motion sensor which is situated inside the bracket to help point the sensor beam in the direction of the cross pathway.
