ALARM SYSTEM
The Awning light can be turned on or off at
any time by pressing and releasing the
Awning light button.
Battery - system base unit
The STINGER 310 system unit uses a special
4.8 volt Nickel Metal Hydride battery pack that
supplies backup battery power to the system
should the supply from the leisure battery fail
or be disconnected.
It is recommended that the alarm system
is permanently connected to a 12 volt
supply. When fully charged the battery will
provide approximately 6 months stand-
alone operation, depending on temperature
conditions. It is recommended that this battery
pack is replaced every 3 years.
Before placing your caravan in storage please
ensure the caravan has had a fully charged
leisure battery fitted or the mains charger
switched on for at least 14 days prior to
storage to ensure the internal backup battery
is fully charged. It is recommended that a
leisure battery remains connected to the
caravan during storage.
Always dispose of old batteries in accordance
with local regulations.
Battery - key fob
The STINGER 310 key fob controllers use
two lithium button cells (CR 2032) in each key
fob. Please note that excessive use of the
LED torch will reduce the life of the batteries
considerably.
To replace the batteries, firstly remove the four
cross head screws from the underside of the
fob, then pull apart the two halves of the fob.
Remove the used batteries from the lower half
of the case, then insert the new batteries in the
same manner, noting that the battery positive
faces away from the green circuit board.
Now reassemble the fob casing and refit the
screws, taking care not to over tighten.
Alarm siren
The STINGER 310 contains a dual sounder
unit that provides the loud alarm siren and the
volume adjustable beeper sound.
When the alarm is triggered the siren will
sound for 2 minutes. Following the 2-minute
period the alarm will then deactivate for 15
seconds and then rearm.
The alarm siren can be turned off at any point
by pressing the key fob arm/disarm button.
When the alarm is disarmed the Beeper will
sound two beeps to confirm the disarm. If the
alarm has been triggered during the armed
period the beeper will sound three beeps if the
PIR triggered the alarm or four beeps if the Tilt
Sensor caused the alarm. If you hear multiple
pips (short beeps) when you disarm the alarm,
this indicated that the internal backup battery
is low and therefore should be charged.
The beeper volume can be adjusted using the
key fob programming feature described earlier.
