UNIT OPERATION
- Open box and install the 12-volt rechargeable battery. Make sure to install the battery with the correct wire positions, red for positive, black for ground. Close the “ Watchbox “ and secure the clasp.
- Position the “ Watchbox “ facing toward the area that you want to be watched. Press the “lock” key on the keyless remote unit. This will power on the motion detection and timing circuits, they require a one-minute warm up. After the one minute warm up period, the alarm will be active. You will see a red blinking light at the rear of the unit, this tells you the unit is active. To deactivate the unit, or to reset an activated alarm, simply press the “unlock” key on the keyless remote unit.
- When the “ Watchbox “ is active and senses motion in the protected zone, the 110db siren and the 100-watt strobe light will be activated. They will continue to be active as long as the protection zone is violated, and the set alarm siren on time has not expired. The siren on time can be adjusted with the potentiometer knob, ( lower right hand corner ). Increase the siren on time by turning the knob clockwise, and decrease the time by turning the knob counter clockwise. Experimentation will give you the alarm on time that will work for you, somewhere between 15 and 90 seconds on average.

Having been a carpenter for 20 year I know what it is like to come to work and not have all the materials I left at the job site the day before. Using the watchbox has definitely cut down on the headaches for me and the amount of stolen property. You should really take a look at this alarm system it does wonders.

This system allows me to leave my shop unattended for short periods of time throughout the work day without me having to worry about criminals trying to steal my tools. It gives me peace of mind knowing that any trouble is just a phone call away.
