Overview
Congratulations on your purchase of this wireless doormat alarm from Swann! The wireless mat is a
unique and unobtrusive door chime. On top of that, installing is a breeze as it’s wireless - other than
changing the batteries on occasion, it’s practically maintenance free!
Included in the kit is the wireless pressure sensitive mat, as well as a more conventional wireless doorbell
- you can use one, the other, or both depending on your needs. You could use them on the same door
if you wish, or you can split them between two different entrances, provided that you can place the
chime itself in a central position.
Installing
To mount the alarm/chime unit, you’ll need the following tools:
A screwdriver•
A drill (for hardwood or masonry)•
The Chime Unit
Screw the supplied mounting screws into 1.
the wall you want to mount the chime unit
on. Leave approximately 1/8” (3 - 4mm) of
the screw protruding. If necessary, drill holes
for the screws and/or use wall plugs.
Insert the protruding screw ends into the 2.
mounting holes on the rear of the chime
unit.
Move the chime unit downwards to lock the 3.
screw ends in place.
The Mat
The mat should be inserted underneath a doormat or carpet, somewhere that a person entering 1.
the area you want to protect would have to step.
Exercise some care whilst positioning the battery compartment. The case on the battery 2.
compartment is pretty tough, but will break if left underfoot. We’ve provided a self-adhesive set
of mounting pads to allow you to mount the battery compartment on a wall up to 2.5ft (75cm)
from the mat itself.
The chime unit itself can be mounted anywhere within approximately 30ft (10m) of the mat. 3.
The Doorbell
Remove the rear plate of the doorbell.1.
Screw the rear plate to the wall using the two screw holes. If you’re mounting the doorbell on 2.
glass or metal, then you could use strong double-sided tape or glue - just be sure that you can still
open the doorbell to change the batteries once every few months.
Transmission Range
The reliable range of the mat’s transmission will vary based on your environment. Under ideal conditions
(such as an open environment where the mat has a direct line of sight to the alarm unit, where there is
little or no radio “noise”) the signal will travel up to 100ft (30m).
Conversely, a densely packed environment (such as brick, concrete or metal) with other wireless devices
operating can reduce the range of the signal to 20ft (6m) or less.
Ideally, you should mount the Chime Unit at an equal distance from the wireless mat and the wireless
doorbell, as close as possible to both.
All components in this
system are intended for
SHELTERED ENVIRONMENTS ONLY.
Installing any part of this system in an
outdoor environment (one exposed to
rain, moisture or direct sunlight) may
have undersirable results, and may cause
malfunctions or hardware failure.
