Using Your Remote Control
You can use the REM101 to perform the following actions:
- Arm your system (no disarming) / Activate PGMs / Activate panic alarms (police, medical, fire)
NOTE: Since the REM101 is a single-button remote control, it can only perform one of the above-mentioned actions at a single time. Refer to your control panel’s respective programming guide for details on programming your remote according to the user’s needs.
The Action Button
To use your REM101 to arm your system, or activate a PGM or panic alarm, press
and hold the action button for one second until the LED flashes. The LED emits
rapid flashes during a four-second period, confirming your action.
Testing the Battery
To test the battery strength, press and hold the Test button for two seconds.
One of the following two scenarios will occur:
- The LED illuminates for three seconds. This indicates that the battery is charged and does not need to be replaced.
- The LED emits seven slow flashes. This indicates that the battery strength is low and the battery should be replaced. Refer to Replacing the Battery for details.
NOTE: Ensure that the battery is properly installed when testing its strength. A “Low Battery Signal” is sent to the control panel when battery is below 2.3Vdc. Upon power-up, a “Low Battery Restore Signal” is sent to the control panel when the battery voltage level has reached 2.3Vdc or higher.
Replacing the Battery
Replace the battery as follows:
- Using a suitably-sized straight edge (e.g., screwdriver), turn the battery cover in the counterclockwise direction, until the unlocked marking on the cover ( ) is aligned with the arrow marking ( ) on the remote’s rear casing.
- Pry the battery from its cover and replace with the same or equivalent type (3V CR2032). Make sure to observe the correct polarity when replacing the battery.
- Secure the battery cover in place by turning it in the clockwise direction, until the locked marking on the cover ( ) is aligned with the arrow marking ( ) on the remote’s rear casing.
WARNING: When replacing the battery, use only the same or equivalent type of battery recommended by the manufacturer. Danger of explosion exists if the wrong lithium battery is used, or if it’s replaced incorrectly. In addition, recycle or dispose of used batteries in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
LED Feedback
