1 - SAFETY WARNINGS AND GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
ucts (refer to nominal range values specified in the chapter “Technical
specifications”).
• Ensure that the devices (detectors, control unit etc.) are positioned on
sufficiently solid surfaces.
• Install the products in positions difficult to reach to avoid intentional
damage, remaining in compliance with installation specifications.
• During installation and use of the product, ensure that no foreign bodies
(solids or liquids) penetrate any open devices.
• Do not place system components near to sources of heat to avoid
potential damage.
• Ensure that all tools and materials are available for correct installation;
ensure that they are in good condition and comply with relative safety
standards. Some examples are provided in fig. 1.
1.1 - Safety warnings
• CAUTION! – This manual contains important instructions and
warnings to ensure personal safety. Before starting any work, careful-
ly read all sections of this manual. If in doubt, suspend installation and
request clarifications from the Mhouse Assistance Service.
• CAUTION! – Important instructions: keep this manual in a safe
place for future maintenance and product disposal procedures.

1.2 - General warnings
• Use of these products for applications other than as specified in this
instruction manual is strictly prohibited.
• Never make modifications to any part of the products, other than as
described in this manual. Unauthorised operations can cause malfunc-
tions; the manufacturer declines all liability for damage caused by
improper product modifications.
• According to the specific application, check whether additional products
are required, such as detectors or warning sirens.
• Before proceeding with installation, check whether there are applicable
local standards regarding the use of acoustic warning devices (sirens)
placed outside buildings.
• To use the touchscreen, simply press the surface lightly with a finger or the
stylus supplied (do not exert pressure). Never use sharp pointed objects
on the screen as these will cause irreparable damage to the display.
• Always replace batteries in observance of the specified polarity.
•Manufacturer liability: the manufacturer declines all liability for faults
deriving from incorrect installation or programming, failure to perform
maintenance and improper use of the devices. Furthermore the manu-
facturer will not be responsible for incorrect or incomplete operation of
the product or failure to detect intrusion.
•Guarantee (summary of terms): Mhouse guarantees company prod-
ucts against concealed defects for a period of 5 years as of the date of
manufacture (3 years for the touchscreen). The guarantee applies to the
direct purchaser from Mhouse. No guarantee is envisaged for the end
user, who in the event of faults must contact the specific installer or
retailer.
•Exclusions from guarantee: the guarantee does not cover aesthetic
parts, the display, parts subject to normal wear or normal consumables,
such as batteries.
• The product packaging material must be disposed of in full observance
of current local legislation.
1.3 - Installation warnings
• The individual parts are designed according to the following environ-
mental classes (EN 50131-1):
- Class II environment: general indoor use; temperature range –10 -
+40 °C, average humidity 75% (condensate free);
- Class III environment: protected outdoor use; temperature range –25 -
+50 °C, average humidity 75% with peaks of 30 days per year between
85 and 95% (condensate free).
• Before proceeding with installation, check the product environmental
class as specified in the chapter “Technical specifications”.
• In the device installation sites, check whether the radio range of the
devices is greater than the physical distance between the various prod-

transmission on 2 separate radio frequencies: 433 MHz and 868 MHz.
Furthermore, communication between the main elements is bidirectional;
for some devices transmission requires reception of a confirmation signal
(e.g. activation of the system via remote control is confirmed by a red led
on the remote control itself).
The touchscreen can also be used for radio control of all Mhouse automa-
tions.
The products in this kit are part of the Mhouse alarm system designed for
the protection of residential spaces. Any use other than as described in
this manual is strictly prohibited!
The Mhouse alarm system is not to be considered simply a home burglar
alarm, as it is able to detect a variety of events thanks to special sensors:
intrusion, break-in attempts (impact-vibration sensor), fire risks (smoke
detector) and water leaks (flooding sensor).
The different alarm situations can be indicated locally with audible signals
(indoor or outdoor sirens), with voice messages or remotely via telephone
calls or text messages.
The system offers optimal flexibility and simplicity of installation; it is pow-
ered exclusively by batteries and does not require any electrical connec-
tion. The various devices interact by radio wave communication. Maxi-
mum reliability of communication between the devices is achieved by
