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 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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

Additional Keypads can be ordered from the listed accessories, the PIRs require 3 x AAA batteries.

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.

The limit on our pet friendly sensors is 25kg, so if you have two pets at 17kg each then its most likely to trigger the alarm. However I can recommend using the Yale Easy Fit Door Contact

Yes, you can connect the Yale Easy Fit Standard Alarm and the Yale Easy Fit Telecommunicating Alarm to create a single system.

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.

When disarming you have an entry period of of between 10-30 seconds. Regardless of how PIN codes are entered the alarm will trigger once the entry time has elapsed.

When arming the alarm 3 incorrect PIN code attempts will disable the control panel for 6 minutes. After which time you receive a further 3 attempts.

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 beauty of the Yale Easy Fit Alarms is that they are easy to fit. This model can have up to 30 additional devices which can easily be paired with your alarm system, as described in the user guide.

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.

Up to 4 pin codes can be stored on this alarm system. These codes can be edited or deleted as necessary.

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

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

The PIR movement detectors are battery operated and should be located no more than 30 meters away from the Control Panel.

You can activate or deactivate this alarm using any touch tone phone by pressing the buttons on the phone keypad. This includes landlines, mobiles and SmartPhones.

To control the alarm using an app on a SmartPhone you would need the Yale Easy Fit SmartPhone Alarm.

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 system is not compatible with mobile phones and will alert via landline numbers only. We do offer Yale Smart Home Alarms that can be used with your smartphone and have multiple mobiles linked to the system.

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, 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 system will allow you to set zones. For example at night you could have the downstairs zone active so the alarm triggers if an intruder is detected whilst the upstairs zone is inactive, However all the sensors within the zone would be on the same setting, you can not activate or de-activate specific sensors within a zone.

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.

Active or dummy siren boxes cannot be purchased as an accessory for the alarm system. Additional PIR's, Keyfobs and keypads can be added from the listed accessories at the point of order.

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.

Yes you can add new users via the app in the account settings menu. The alarm also has a built in log which will memorise the last 30 system events including all alarming and disarming event times.

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.

When the power is running low, the fault LED will be lit on the control panel and the siren will produce a series of pips and flashes during arming and disarming.

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.

Yes, once the alarm is triggered the control panel will log and display which zone activated the alarm.

The alarm system allows you to set 2 zones meaning you could for example have the downstairs zone activated and the upstairs de-activated. All sensors within a zone however would be active, individual sensors can not disarmed or armed within a zone.

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.

With the main control panel upstairs you could add the Yale Easy Fit Keypad or the Yale Easy Fit Keyfob to your alarm system. Providing these components are within the 30 meter wireless range you could control the alarm from a fixed or mobile position with these accessories.

All Yale Easy Fit Alarms are supplied in security sealed boxes, with all accessories contained inside. Therefore it is not possible to swap accessories but you can purchase Yale Easy Fit Pet PIR Motion Detectors separately.

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.

The control panel does include a backup battery in case of power failure, but as standard this panel should be mains powered.

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

This alarm and the Smart Home Alarms have a silent feature to disable any sounds from the alarm hub.

The alarm components with in the alarm kit are pre-linked ready for installation on arrival. Additional sensors that are added to the alarm system will need to be synced/added at the control panel via the 'Add Device' menu option.

Yes, there is an adapter included that will allow you to plug your alarm control panel and landline phone into the same socket at the same time.

The control panel is battery powered and will still operate as an alarm without being connected to the phone line. If the alarm is triggered the siren will still sound as normal, but you will not be notified by phone.

Cutting the phone line externally would not trigger the alarm. The alarm would act as normal and be triggered as soon as they attempt to enter the property. As you correctly say, cutting the phone line would prevent you being notified.

It is possible to eliminate this problem by opting for a GSM Alarm. Rather than using your traditional phone line, the alarm uses a pay as you go SIM card to notify you when the alarm is triggered. The ERA Vault - Wireless SmartPhone Alarm is a similarly priced model offering this feature.

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

Unfortunately additional sirens are not available.

The control hub could be fitted here providing it can be connected to the landline port. The thickness of external/internal walls can sometimes effect the signal reducing its range. If components are within the wireless range of the hub this should not really be an issue.

Yes you can connect the main control hub to the Landline and have the additional keypad in a secondary location providing it is within the wireless range of the main control hub.

The Yale Easy Fit PIR Motion Detector or Yale Easy Fit Door Contact that activate when you open the door have to be set to entry mode. This is done in the edit devices menu on the control panel.

The touch screen display on the alarm has a height of 130mm and a width of 190mm.

Times can be set from 00 seconds (no delay) up to 70 seconds in 10 second increments. 20 seconds delay is the factory default setting.

The power cable is 1.5 meters in length.

This alarm does not come with a door chime upon entry/exit. However when you enter your code before leaving it will proceed to beep. This will also happen upon entry when you trigger a sensor, this wont stop until you successfully enter a valid code.

The telephone plug that goes into the touchscreen panel is called a RJ11 connector.

This alarm will work with any residential phone line provided by BT or Virgin. As this alarm is an "Easy Fit" alarm and installed on a DIY basis, it is not insurance rated.

The control panel requires mains power via a regular plug socket. In the event of a power failure there is a back up battery pack which will maintain power. The siren box is wireless and relies solely on batteries for power.

The Easy Fit alarms will work with up to 30 devices connected, including PIR motion detectors and pet friendly PIR motion detectors. The alarm will work as a traditional alarm when not connected to a landline phone socket, but the alarm notification by phone feature will not work.

The Pet PIR's are designed to ignore animals under 25kg. It's likely that your dog would set off the alarm. You may prefer to use Yale EF-DC Easy Fit Door Contact's on your doors and windows rather than use PIR's

Providing they are covered, then no motion will be detected on the PIR's

This option can be found in the 'Edit Device' menu under Program Siren.

The power lead supplied 1.5 meters in length. If this was too short you would need to source a longer 9V /500MA power adaptor and lead.

The alarm sensors are not light sensitive and trigger when they detect movement only.

Activation and deactivation is completed in one ring by following the steps in the user guide. This means that the initial call to set up these features would never go to voice mail.

The alarm can be armed or dis-armed with any code that has been programmed in to system.

The Yale Telecommunicating alarm is connected directly to your phone socket. Therefore, the alarm would still function normally even if your portable handset runs out of battery.

Yes, as the Yale Telecommunicating Alarm would be connected to your landline telephone socket, all answered calls would be charged at your standard rate.

If a designated number is called and goes to voicemail the system will leave a 10 second message and then call the next registered number.

Yes, if there is any issues with battery power in any of the accessories the main control panel would notify you. Part arming the alarm can only be done from the main control panel itself.

Yes the battery power will enable the telephone notification call to be made if the alarm is triggered.

The Yale Easy Fit Telecommunicating Alarm connects to a telephone line and has no connectivity to a WiFi control box. You may wish to consider our range of Smart Home Alarms, which connect to WiFi in order to send notifications to your smartphone.

As long as the alarm is not set turning off the main power would not activate the alarm.

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 2 years. You can change the batteries by first disarming the tamper mode and then unscrewing the front cover of the bell box.

Yes, you can optimise the setting to allow the touch screen control panel to operate with or without a back light.

This is correct, the system will call in order those 3 numbers until one is eventually answered.

You would need 2 Easy Fit Door Contacts, one for each door or window. The Yale Easy Fit Keypad and the Yale Easy Fit Keyfob can be used together. To arm or disarm the alarm the Keypad requires a unique PIN code. The Keyfob requires a simple button press and no PIN code.

This alarm has a "home arm" mode which allows you to deactivate certain zones when you are at home. This process is described in the Yale Easy Fit Telecommunicating Alarm User Guide.

The telephone cable supplied with this alarm is 3 metres long.

The alarm system can store up to three individual telephone numbers and will ring in an order of your choice when the alarm is triggered. the sequence will end once the call is answered.

Anyone tampering with the alarm or trying to jam the frequency would activate the alarm.

This kit includes two Yale Easy Fit Door Contacts, designed to arm two different doors within a 30 meter range of the hub.

If the Yale Telecommunicating Alarm is not connected to a landline, the siren will still sound once the alarm is triggered. In order to receive notifications, this alarm must be connected to a landline.

This alarm has a Home-arm or Zonal setting available. This allows the home to be partially armed. You can add a Yale Easy Fit Keyfob or a Yale Easy Fit Keypad to the alarm kit and keep it upstairs to arm and disarm the alarm remotely.

This alarm is supplied with batteries for all components and the cable required to connect with an active phone line.

You could fit this alarm and not use the external siren box. The control panel itself does emit its own alarm tone so this would sound in the event the alarm is triggered, however this would only be heard if inside the premises. Of course you also have the benefit of the alarm ringing your desired number when the alarm is triggered.

The dimensions for the touch screen control panel are 127 x 190 x 25.4mm (HxWxD).

In the event of a power cut the alarm system would still function as there is a rechargeable battery fitted inside the control unit which serves as a backup. Once fully charged, the battery will provide backup power for a minimum of 10 hours.

The alarm system will leave a 10 second voice message if the call is not answered. The system will then dial the next registered phone number until the call is answered.

This alarm system is fitted with an anti-tamper device which will set the alarm off immediately providing it is armed.

Yes, the external siren an be programmed and set on silent mode. This can be found in the advance setting of your instruction manual.

If the system senses a jamming interference or an attempted jamming interference the alarm will be triggered and an alarm notification call will be made.

The main control panel of the Telecommunicating Alarm should be connected to a landline telephone socket and the cable required to do this is included. If locating the panel next to a landline makes arming/disarming a bit more difficult when entering or leaving the property you could add the Yale Easy Fit Keypad. The main control panel could be used to access the more advanced features and the battery powered keypad just for arming/disarming.
