The PIR's don't have a constant flashing light. The only time the sensor will light up is when it picks up any motion in the room.

The alarm has a secure rolling code transmission signal and enhanced anti-jamming detection which would trigger the alarm if tampering in this way was attempted. This unique code is used by the system to determine that the correct remote control is attempting to contact the alarm.

The siren box on the full range of Yale Easy Fit Alarms is wireless and uses battery power only.

This package does not include the Easy Fit Pet PIR sensors as standard but you can order these as an optional extra in the accessories menu.

To be EN50131 compliant the alarm must be professionally installed and include an annual maintenance check.

Yes the adjustment period of the siren can be changed to either 10 minutes or 3 minutes.

The PIR's could be fitted higher but you would need to adjust the angle to ensure that motion is detected and enable the best coverage of the room in which it is fitted.

It is recommended that you do not point the PIR directly at a door which includes a door contact sensor. It is not necessary to have both as just one of the sensors will trigger the alarm when somebody enters the room. There is also a chance of technical issues as the signal can get delayed.

Only you can link multiple keyfobs to the alarm and only these inked fobs will arm or disarm the alarm system.

The door sensors cannot be configured in anyway if the alarm is disarmed, the door sensor will only work when you set the alarm and notify you when its triggered.

No, the standard PIR will trigger the alarm if there was any type of movement in the house. You would require the Yale Easy Fit Pet PIR Motion Detector which is ideal for small household pets.

The Yale Easy Fit PIR Camera will take a single still image once motion is detected but you can request images of the room at any time via the smartphone app when your alarm is connected to wifi. If you prefer a video rather than an image you need the Yale Easy Fit PIR Video Camera. Always avoid pointing PIR's directly towards a window to avoid interference.

The alarm can be set to create two different zones allowing you to arm one or both zones. This is useful if you decide to split the upstairs and downstairs of a property into two zones. Whilst the property is empty both zones could be active and during the night you could activate only the downstairs zone. This is known as Part Arming and is described in more detail on the Details Tab of this page.

Once the alarm is triggered the siren will sound for 10 minutes.

The limit on our pet friendly sensors is 25kg so unfortunately this would not be suitable for yourself. However you might want to alarm the room by fitting a Yale Easy Fit Door Contact to the door or window. You would then be alarmed if you encountered any intruders trying to enter.

The PIR's supplied with the system as standard are not Pet Friendly. You can add Yale Easy Fit Pet PIR Motion Detector's as an optional extra from the listed accessories.

There is no specific requirement for the broadband speed. You will receive alarms notifications regardless of the internet speed.

The Pet-Friendly PIRs are not available with an image camera. Though you can build a kit to suit by adding additional sensors, PIR's and other Accessories to your system, the alarm itself is a pre-set sealed package and therefore the components within can not be removed or changed.

The Yale Easy Fit Alarms Series includes a 100 decibel siren box which is comparable with wired home alarms.

Battery power will be used only when the alarm is triggered, which should be very rare. Therefore, a good brand of batteries should last approximately 5 years as this is the average shelf life of a battery.

Unfortunately all the components excluding the Siren are only suitable for internal use.

Unfortunately Yale do not make this accessory. However I can recommend the ERA Vibration Sensor. This would be suitable for any ERA alarm system.

Once one of the sensors has been triggered you will have the set entry/exit time period to de-activate the alarm. Once this time has expired if a senor detects further activity the siren will trigger.

This alarm includes rolling code technology which enables a unique signal between the devices and hub every time a signal is sent between the components to ensure it is never intercepted or cloned.

The wireless components run on a unique frequency and employ rolling code technology to stop interference from or with other systems.

No, this alarm system is not compatible with the PIR camera. I would recommend having a look at our Yale Smart Home Alarm Kit - SR-320 as an alternative option.

The alarm components have a 30 meter wide wireless range.

The Yale Door contact is designed to be used with most doors/windows. However the surface must be flat as possible so both the contact parts can connect. This is not always achievable with a garage door. It may be worth adding a Yale Easy Fit PIR Motion Detector to detect the door opening rather than a door contact.

The sensors have not been tested in this position so their performance accuracy is unknown and it is not recommended.

Yes the keypad will beep when the alarm system is activated or de-activated.

Any motion in the house will trigger the PIR. You would require the Yale Easy Fit Pet PIR Motion Detector as these are suitable for small pets.

The alarm would not auto re-set. Once the alarm has been triggered, the siren will sound for up to 10 minutes. The alarm will remain in a triggered state and will sound immediately if one of the sensors is triggered before it is manually re-set.

Yes, This alarm works via WiFi and does not require a landline socket. The alarm 'hub' plugs directly in to your broadband router via the Ethernet cable supplied.

The Siren box needs to be located within 30 meters of the main Smart Alarm Hub. This alarm could be used in an office location providing there is an internet connection so that you receive notification of alarm activation.

Yes, dependant of course where the PIR is positioned, any movement at all would trigger the alarm.

A loss of power would not trigger the alarm. In the event of a power cut the back up battery would automatically power the alarm.

The components for both systems are the same. The Smart Home Alarm series is the most recent series released, all of which can be used in conjunction with your smartphone. This is not the case with the Easy Fit Alarms where only the Yale Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm has this capability.

The alarm will only be triggered when motion is detected and it is incredibly reliable. When the alarm is triggered you will be alerted via your smartphone where you can deactivate the alarm yourself if you have reason to believe the alarm has been triggered by mistake.

The range on each device is 30 metres so in theory yes. However it is worth bearing in mind that external walls will reduce the device range.

Yes I would always advise on installing the alarm in a secure location. It may also be worth noting that all our easy fit alarm systems come installed with an anti-tamper device. Any disturbance to the touch screen panel will trigger the siren automatically.

Unfortunately the push notifications are currently only available for iOS devices. This is confirmed on page 10 of the Easy Fit Smartphone Alarm User Guide. With an Android phone, you will receive SMS messages and emails when the alarm is triggered.

The Yale Smartphone alarm can be controlled by up to 5 registered smartphones via the Yale app.

Unfortunately, the App for the Yale Smartphone alarm is only currently available via Apple or Android smartphones.

The Dummy Siren Box does not have the LED function. This is used to add further visual deterrent to a potential burglar.

Any motion would trigger the PIR sensors including pets. I recommend a Yale Easy Fit Pet PIR Motion Detector. These are suitable for small pets under 20kg.

The siren box is powered by AA batteries and they are included in the box.

Having your windows slightly open (night Vent) should not trigger the alarm as long as nothing comes in to contact with the sensor.

The PIR Sensors require 3x AAA alkaline batteries and the external Siren requires 4x D alkaline batteries.

The motion detection range of this component is 12 meters.

The Yale Easy Fit Door Contact is supplied with fixing screws for fixing to wood and double sided sticky foam pads for use on UPVC doors. Therefore, drilling is not always required.

The door sensor can be installed any way up, so long as the contacts are touching each other. The alarm is triggered once the contact is broke, when the door is opened.

The Yale Easy Fit Keyfob will allow you to activate or deactivate the alarm system even if it has been set by the Yale Easy Fit Keypad.

The siren can be easily installed with a power drill and screwdriver with the fixings provided. A pebble dash wall would prevent a flush fit but wouldn't cause a problem with the installation.

The Yale Easy Fit Keyfob can be used to arm or disarm the alarm, once activated, with a simple button press. If the keyfob is lost or stolen, you can delete the device from the system at any time.

The siren box on the Yale Easy Fit Alarms Series has a blue light which flashes when the alarm is triggered. There is also a comfort LED which will stay on all the time. This light can be turned off at any time on the control panel.

The Yale Easy Fit Smoke Detector is available and is compatible with any of the Yale Easy Fit Alarms Series. This smoke detector can be purchased as a singular item or as an accessory at a lower price, when purchased together with the alarm system.

Yes once the alert period has expired the system re-arms so if one of the sensors is triggered the alarm will activate again.

Yes, it is possible to include more than one Yale Easy Fit Keypad with your Yale alarm system.

The Smartphone Alarm will accept up to 20 paired devices that can include a combination of no more than 6 camera PIR's or video camera PIR's. This alarm includes 5 devices as standard, one of which is a camera. This means you can add an additional 15 devices of which 5 can be cameras.

Adding 11 Door Sensors and 4 Video Cameras will take you up to the maximum of 20 devices.

As this is a smart alarm dependant on WiFi you would need internet access. However I can recommend the Yale Easy Fit Telecommunicating Alarm which can be plugged into a land line socket or the ERA Invincible - Wireless SmartPhone Alarm PLUS which can be plugged into a land line socket or works via Sim card, no internet required.

The sensors can be located anywhere within a 25 meter range from the central hub. A sensor in a detached garage would operate as normal if the range to the central hub is within 25 meters.

If the internet goes down the alarm will still act as a standard alarm as the siren will still sound when triggered. The notification element will be disabled because the control unit needs an internet connection in order to send you a notification.

Yes, the Yale SmartPhone App will allow you to deactivate the alarm remotely if triggered. You can also activate the alarm system remotely via the app if required.

The Image and Video PIR's operate the same as standard PIR motion detectors, if they detect movement they will trigger the alarm.

The Yale Wireless Smart Home Alarms include an updated control box which is smaller in size, but includes the same specification as the Smartphone Alarm.

The alarm system will allow you to set up to 5 users who will be able to receive a notification by both email and text message.

The PIR motion detectors that are included are not pet friendly. You would need to purchase the Yale Easy Fit Pet PIR Motion Detector which is also available to purchase as an accessory with the Smartphone alarm.

Multiple users can download the app to synchronise with the alarm. You will need to be connected to Wifi for this to be operational, so you could use a Wifi extender to increase the range if needed.

Unfortunately all the components included with the Yale alarms are for indoor use only. one solution could be to connect a Yale CCTV Kit using the Yale CCTV Alarm Link USB Adaptor. This will allow you to control the alarm and outdoor CCTV cameras with one SmartPhone App.

The Yale alarms run on an 434mhz and 868mhz frequency, if any other smart devices you have run on the same there may be some interference. The alarm will allow you to set 2 zones and part arming is available so that one or both zones can be active.

The new Yale Smart Home Alarms include an updated smart hub and include different combinations of alarm accessories across the range. All Smartphone and Smart Home alarms can be controlled via a smartphone and operate with the same accessories.

The PIR sensors and cameras are motion activated only.

Once a video has been sent to a phone, this video is available via the Yale App and can be reviewed repeatedly. The video will remain indefinitely (memory permitting) until you decide to delete it. You cannot export videos from the App. Only still images can be copied and sent via email or text message.

The Yale components must be in a 30 metre radius to the Yale wi-fi control box.

The expiry date of the central server is as mentioned 2018 however when the time comes Yale would of course renew the server. The 20 free SMS messages per account can be topped up free of charge by calling Yale directly.

The system can be expanded to use up to 20 devices including Yale Easy Fit PIR Motion Detectors. You are limited to a maximum of 6 for the PIR Cameras or PIR Video cameras.

To connect your smartphone to the alarm system with your mobile you will receive an authorisation code via SMS during the set up process. By entering this number and following the Smartphone Alarm User Guide, you should be able to connect your phone. If you are experiencing technical difficulties please contact our customer services department.

The SmartPhone alarm does not have the facility to call you when the alarm is triggered. You would need the Yale Easy Fit Telecommunicating Alarm which connects to your landline socket and can call up to 3 different numbers when the alarm is triggered.
