Area of applic ation
This alarm station offers you the opportunity to
optically display the status of your alarm devices.
Occurrences can be received b y the alarm station
and transmitted to you w orldwide via telephone
dialer.
Our recommendation s
We rec ommend installing the alarm st ation so that
it is visible at all times in your home.
How do you avoid f alse alarms?
Y ou should not use the al arm station near open
flames or in kitc hens, bathrooms, gar ages, and
dusty rooms.
These environments disrupt the proper fu nction of
the alarm station.
False alarms c an then occur.
What is the procedur e for installation and use?
The Free-control alarm st ation is suitable for w all
mounting.
First, select a suitable inst allation site.
For thi s, maintain the required distance from c eilings
and walls.
Then, bore the hole, press in the anc hor, and screw
on the suspension hook.
Before you c an hang the alarm station on the
suspension hooks, pl ace the appropriate 9V b lock
battery in the battery compartment (Illustration 5)
and ensure correct battery c ontact.
Then, connect the included plug-in power supply
unit (Illustr ation 7).
The device is ready for operation. The rectangular,
green LED (Illustration 3, Item 3) illumin ates.
After the batteries have been inserted and the
voltage supply has been established, hang the alarm
station on the suspens ion hooks.
Y ou can now begin with progr amming.
What do the various designations mean (Illustration 3)?
1) LED, c olor red. Signal memory = LED blinks in
case of al arm detection
2) LED , color yel low. Optical c ollective message of
the alarms. "Low battery / Battery weak" = LED
illuminates
3) LED (rectangular), co lor green. Optical mess age
to test the voltag e supply of the adapter power
supply unit. V o ltage present = LED illuminates.
V oltage f ailure = LED blinks with a rhythm of 5
seconds.
4) LED (rectangular). C olor yellow. Intern al battery
display . Battery weak = LED b links.
5) LED (multi-color). LED illuminates in v arious
colors.
Color red - System armed. (Inc oming messages
are saved and displayed).
Color green - System di sarmed. (Incoming
messages are ignored).
Color orange - Programming procedure activ ated
6) Prog key . Programming k ey for external devic es
7) Battery c ompartment
8) Reset key
9) Intern al speak er
What combin ations can y ou creat e with radio
transmis sion:
a) All alarms c an be connected to the alarm/centr al
station via r adio (Illustration 2).
Example: If smoke al arms have triggered during
your absenc e, y ou can record the status of the alarm
notifications so th at these can be played bac k.
b) The alarm/centr al station can be c onnected to
the telephone dialer via radio (Il lustration 4).
A message i s prerecorded for "V oltag e failure"!
Did you use an alarm st ation? In this ca se, one
announcement text is availab le to you. Did you
use a central station? In this c ase, up to 3
announcement texts are available.
Example: If several al arms (e.g. water alarm, ga s
alarm) or sensors (e.g. broken glass sensor) trigger
during your absenc e, you can then rec eive the
messages worldw ide via the telephone dialer.
c) The alarm station could be c onnected to the
radio-receivers of Home-c omfort via radio
(Illustration 6).
Example: If a smoke alarm triggers, the light c an be
switc hed on and the shutters pulled up
simultaneously .
For install ation and programming instructions, see
also the operating instructions of the respective
Free-control devic es.
How can you c onnect your a larm devices to the
alarm station (pr ogram)?
Press the PROG key (Illustration 3, Item 6) of the
alarm station for longer than 2 sec onds.
The alarm station is activ ated when the first LED
illuminates for the individual alarm memory (LED
red, Illustration 3, Item 1).
Line a (Illustration 3, a ) is activated first.
By briefly press ing the "PROG" key , you can sw itch
the lines forwards one after another (line a, b, c, d,
e, f).
Y ou can program up to 6 al arms per line.
When the LED illuminates, you h ave switc hed on
the programming mode for 20 seconds.
Y ou now have 20 seconds to trigger a radio signal
from your desired alarm dev ice (Illustr ation 5).
In order to trigger this ra dio signal, you must press
the program/test key of your alarm devic e for
approximately 1 second.
All of the alarms activated by you are now
automatically connected to the alarm station v ia
radio path.
The single blinking of the red LED (Il lustration 2)
signals the suc cessful c ompletion of the
programming procedure.
What do y ou do if the progr amming procedur e was
not succ essful?
Check the troubleshooting items.
As a precautionary mea sure, delete all program
memories and repeat the programming as described.
How can you connect the Free-c ontrol alarms to the
telephone dialer via radio path (progr am)?
First, press the PRG key (Illustration 4) of the
telephone dialer.
This switc hes on the programming mode of the
telephone dialer for 20 seconds.
Then, activate the programming mode of the al arm
station within 20 seconds.
For this, first press the PROG key , keep this k ey
pressed and press the Reset key within 2 sec onds
with the programming-PIN.
All of the devices you have activated are now
automatically connected to one another by mean s
of the radio path.
What happens in case of a larm?
The alarm station receives the radio signals of the
alarms.
The siren sounds and the red LED (Il lustration 3/Item
9) of the assigned line blinks.
The LED blinks until the message i s deleted again
manually .
If you have c onnected the alarm station to the
telephone dialer (Illustration 4) via r adio path, the
incoming messag e will be forwarded to you
worldwide if the telephone dialer is within radio
range of the alarm st ation.
How can y ou "arm" or "disarm" the alarm st ation?
T o "arm" the alarm station, briefly pres s the RESET
key (Illu stration 3, Item 8).
Y ou can recogniz e an "armed" alarm system by the
fact that the red LED (Il lustration 3, Item 5) illumin ates
T o "disarm" the alarm st ation, press the RESET k ey
(Illustration 3, Item 8) again.
Y ou can rec ognize a "disarmed" al arm system by
the fact that the green LED (Illustration 3, Item 5)
illuminates.
Note that incoming mes sages are only di splayed
optically and forwarded to the telephone dialer when
the alarm station is "armed".
How can you delet e the alarm memory again?
For this, press the RE SET key (Il lustration 3, Item 8)
for longer than 2 seconds.
All alarm memories are now deleted.
What happens when voltag e is lost?
The programming that you have performed is
retained even after loss of voltage.
All active alarms are deleted.
The message "P ower failure" is forwarded to the
telephone dialer (if applicable).
The green LED (Il lustration 3, Item 3) goes out, if the
external power supply has been interrupted.
When does the battery need to be c hanged?
The yellow LED (Illustr ation 3, Item 4) will begin to
blink when the battery voltage gets too low.
Change the batteries within one week.
Otherwise, the proper function of the alarm st ation
can be adversely affected.
We recommend replacing the battery every two years
as a precaution.
For this, proceed a s follows: Open the battery
compartment on the back of the devic e.
Replace the u sed battery with a new one.
