Basic Functionality
Is the IA alarm system compatible with any other Yale system?
No, this is a standalone product.
My IA Alarm panel is displaying ‘Alarm Alarm Alarm Alarm’
Press the disarm key, enter your code and continue to press the tick key until the display reads alarm off.
My IA Alarm activates immediately when entering the property
This is because your settings in the control panel are set to do this as a default. To change this, the device should be set to entry mode. Which can be found in the ‘Edit devices’ section of the main menu.
I want to part arm my IA Alarm system, what do I set the sensors to?
The sensors must be programmed as ‘Home Omit’, to exclude them when in the ‘Home’ arm mode. If you have already configured your alarm, you can edit the settings of each device in the ‘Edit Devices’ section of the programme menu.
Press the button at the bottom of the control panel with the lock and unlock to part arm.
Can I extend my entry / exit time on the IA Kit?
Yes, this is done in the advanced settings menu of the control panel.
How many accessories can I add to my alarm?
You can add a maximum of 30 devices to the IA Alarm system
Should the blue light flash on my PIR?
The blue light will flash on initialisation when the battery tab is removed.
How often will I have to change the batteries in my IA alarm system?
Batteries in most IA Alarm Systems will need to be changed every 18 months to two years
Troubleshooting
My Panic button is not working
Please press and hold for a least 5 seconds to activate.
Why is my alarm beeping every 30 secs with an amber circle around the Yale emblem
This will be a fault in the system i.e. A Low battery or a tamper fault. Please check the fault log to see what the issues are.
Why does my IA Alarm keep triggering for no reason?
This could be a number of reasons… Consider the location and environment of the sensors, for example ensuring that the PIR Motion Detectors are not close to sources of heat. Ensure the devices are firmly mounted and that the tamper springs are firmly engaged in place.
