entered 200, (please note the maximum time allowed is 4
minutes, i.e. 400)
4. Press “F”.
5. This operation can be cancelled at any time before step 3
by pressing “C”.
Setting up the Tilt Sensor
The tilt sensor is not adjustable and requires the caravan to be
reasonably level. If the Tilt Sensor is active, one of the Tilt
Sensor Indicators will illuminate on the keypad. Adjust the level
of the van until the light goes off.
Arming the System
If you are in the PIR’s line of sight, it is possible that when
arming the system, any movement detected by the PIR will
deselect the PIR channel. To avoid deselecting the PIR
accidentally please ensure that you remain perfectly still when
arming the system. This is very important when the keypad is
sited within the PIR coverage area.
1. Enter the personal code, the indicators for all available
sensors will light (If a sensor indicator fails to light, see
“TROUBLESHOOTING”).
2. To Disable any sensors not required, press the relevant
key, i.e. 1 for PIR, 2 for tilt, 3 for tow sensor. Repeated
pressing will select (light comes on) and disable (light goes
off) the relevant sensor.
3. Press “F”. The exit delay will begin, 1 pulse per second.
4. 2 short bursts on the siren will be heard at the end of the
exit delay. This confirms the system is armed.
5. This operation can be cancelled at any time before step 4
by pressing “C”.
Disarming the System
1. Enter your personal code. (This is the only way to disarm
the system)
2. If the system has been inactive all indicators will flash
twice on the keypad.
3. If a sensor has been activated then the corresponding light
on the keypad will flash five times. However if the system
had been continuously active for 20 minutes or more (and
subsequently reset) there will be a random flashing of
indicators preceding the display of the sensor(s)
responsible.
Note: When the siren is active there is no limit on key entries.
When the siren is inactive a maximum of 16 key entries are
allowed. If 16 key entries are exceeded then the system will
not accept any more entries until the siren is activated.

* Please note calls will be charged at 8p per minute.
Memory Recall
This enables the user to tell if any sensors were active during
the previous armed state.
1. Press “F”, press “5”; watch the indicators.
2. If all indicators flash twice the system has been quiet.
3. If any indicator flashes 5 times, the corresponding sensor
has been active.
4. A random flashing of indicators followed by 5 flashes for
sensor(s) means that the system has had to reset (i.e.
disarm itself) due to the siren being active for 20 minutes.
Testing
A time limit of 2 minutes is imposed when in the test modes
described. After this time the system will return to standby.
This is to preserve battery power.
Checking Battery Life & Charging
Battery Life (between recharges) is eight months maximum.
NEVER allow the battery to completely discharge. Regular
battery life checks are strongly recommended.
1. Press “F”, press “4”.
2. A number of pulses will be heard; 1 pulse = 1 month, 3
pulses = 3 months etc up to a maximum of 8 pulses. If
however a random flashing of indicators occurs, this
indicates that the battery is in need of immediate charging.
3. If the battery is low, connect the battery charger via the
socket on the main control box. This is usually located
under one of the bed lockers. On the IDM3 version of the
system, there is also a charging socket on the keypad.
4. Battery charging should be complete within 24 hours (for a
fully discharged battery)
5. If your charger has an indicator light then this will
extinguish when charging is complete. Refer to the
charger label for instructions on its use.
Please note:
i) avoid charging battery while the system is armed.
ii) Reading the battery status whilst charging the battery
will give a false indication of battery life, please wait 15
minutes after charging battery before taking a reading.
Replacing the Battery
The IDM alarm uses a re-chargeable lead acid battery, which
should last for many years if charged regularly. Should the
battery need replacement then use the following procedure.
1. Remove the four screws from the end section of the
control box (where wires exit)
2. Tap the box and the battery module should slide free (if
not then gently prise with a flat bade screwdriver)
3. Remove the battery from the mounting plate (it is fixed with
an adhesive pad)
4. Remove the yellow +ve and black –ve cables and attach to
the new battery, take care to re-connect with the correct
polarity.
5. Fix the new battery to the mounting plate with a new
adhesive pad.
6. Slide the module back into position and re-fix the four
screws.
7. Note that the system will now have reset to the
manufacturer settings, Please re-program your entry code
and entry/exit delays as described in the relevant section
of the handbook.
Testing the PIR
1. Press “F”, press “6”.
2. Walk in front of the PIR. The light on the keypad marked
PIR will illuminate five times, and give an audible signal.
Testing the Siren
1. Press “F”, press “7”.
2. The siren will sound. Press “C” to stop the siren.
Testing the Tow Sensor
The towing vehicle must be connected to the caravan via the
12S plug before this test can be carried out. This sequence
also assumes that the towing vehicle is correctly wired.
1. Press “F”, press “8”.
2. The “FNC” light on the keypad will stay on.
3. Disconnect the car from the caravan. The siren will emit a
short burst followed by five flashes on the keypad tow
sensor indicator, and give an audible signal.
Testing the Tilt Sensor
1. Press “F”, press “9”.
2. Adjust the level or move the caravan until one of the Tilt
Sensor Indicators on the keypad illuminates and gives an
audible signal.
3. Press “C”.
Troubleshooting
1. When attempting to arm, on entering the personal code,
sensor lights do not illuminate - The code entered is
incorrect, or all sensors are active. Check the tow vehicle
is attached, that there is no one in the PIR’s field of vision,
connections to the PIR are good and that the caravan is
level.
2. The tilt sensor light does not illuminate on arming - The tilt
sensor is active. (Press ‘C’ to cancel then refer to section
‘Setting up the Tilt Sensor’)
3. The tow sensor light does not illuminate on arming - The
12S (grey) socket on the towing vehicle must be correctly
wired. Assuming this is the case then the vehicle may
have been disconnected from the caravan (e.g. when on
site)
4. The PIR sensor light does not illuminate on arming -
Ensure no one is in the PIR’s field of view, including the
person who is arming the system. Move everyone outside
the PIR’s field of view and press ‘1’. If the PIR indicator still
does not light then check PIR connections.
5. On disarming the system the sensor indicators do not light
- An incorrect personal code has been entered.
6. If you are unable to resolve your problem please contact
Direct Technical Services on 0870 062 33 44*
Clearing the System back to Manufacturers Settings
If for any reason you wish to set the IDM back to its factory
settings then the following procedure should be used:
1. Press “F”, keep finger on the “F” key until 5 bursts are
heard from the keypad buzzer. The IDM has now reverted
to factory settings.
This can only be done when the system is disarmed
The Noise Pollution Act
If the alarm is activated continuously for 20 minutes, the
system will shut down. This effectively disarms the system.
This is a requirement of the Noise Pollution Act.
Plug-In-Systems reserve the right to change product
specification at any time without prior notice.

Installation & User Instructions - 3 - hbidm3_2000.doc, Rev0
Tel: +44 0870 062 3344*
* Please note calls will be charged at 8p per minute.
Installation Instructions
Keypad
1. For the IDM2000 version of the alarm the keypad is
normally integrated into the caravan electrical distribution
panel. If this is the case then refer to the distribution panel
handbook for installation details. For the IDM3 keypad
install as below.
2. Choose a position for the keypad near the entry door but
away from the PIR detection area, this is to avoid detection
before disarming the system. If this is not possible it will
be necessary to program an Entry Delay, to allow time to
enter the caravan and disarm the system (see “changing
the Entry Delay Time”).
3. In the appropriate position, drill a 15mm hole to allow the
keypad connector to pass through.
4. Pass the keypad loom through the hole and fix the keypad
in place using the four screws supplied.
Control unit (black-box)
1. Choose a suitable location for the control unit, bearing in
mind a 50mm hole must be drilled in the floor for the siren
output (ensure keypad loom will reach!). It is also
recommended that a mains socket outlet is nearby for
charging purposes.
2. With protection of the connectors in mind, decide upon an
orientation with Direction A or Direction B towards the front
of the caravan, (arrows on label). Ensure the control box is
not fitted at an angle, as this will impair operation of the
tilt/shock sensors. Also ensure that the battery charging
socket is easily accessible.
3. Using a 50mm hole saw, drill a hole directly below the siren
outlet.
4. From underneath the caravan, fit the floor vent supplied
and secure with fixing screws (on some caravans sealant
may be required)
5. Inside the caravan, fix control unit in position above floor
vent and secure with fixing screws
6. Having routed the cable correctly around the caravan,
connect the keypad loom (12-way plug) to control unit.
Take care not to offset the connector as this may damage
the unit. Handle the 12-way connector with care.
PIR Sensor
1. Decide a location for the PIR, eye level at the front of the
van is best (preferably in a central position). Do not install
the PIR in a position where it may be subjected to direct
sunlight e.g. beneath a roof fitted window.
2. Starting at the control box, route the PIR loom around the
caravan to meet with the desired mounting location,
concealing the cable under or behind woodwork. Ensure
the cable is not coiled at any point.
3. If the PIR is the type with a telephone style connector then
simply click the connector into the socket on the PIR.
Ensure the locking clip locates correctly. Take care not to
pull on the connector as this may sever the connections.
6. If the PIR is the screw terminal type then wire the terminal
block as described below.
7. Looking at the rear of the PIR, connect the wires leftright
in the following cable order (matching the nylon clip end):
Revision 1 (white cable): white, green, blue then red.
Revision 2 (grey cable): yellow, green, red then black.
Revision 3 (grey cable): yellow, green, black then red.
Take special care that loose strands do not touch other
contacts on the terminal block.
8. Fix the PIR into position using the two fixing points
provided on the mounting bracket.
9. Back at the control unit, connect the PIR loom (4-way plug)
to the appropriate socket.
10. Ensure you wait at least 30 seconds for the PIR to warm
up before testing.
Tow Sensor
1. There are three wires that exit from the side of the control
unit. Using a length of 3-core cable connect to the 12S as
below.
2. Green wire connects to permanent car battery positive
supply (12S Green). On post-98 caravans there will be a
relay inside the van to switch between permanent car
battery and leisure battery charging. Ensure the green
wire is on the permanent car battery position.
3. White wire connects to the dc negative (12S White)
4. Red wire connects to the car charge facility i.e. caravan
battery (12S Blue). The red wire provides a back-up
power supply from the caravan battery. Again on post-98
caravans this output will be from a relay inside the van.
5. To protect cabling we recommend the fitment of a 3A
(maximum) in-line fuse to both the Green (tow) and Red
(charge) wires.
Important Notes
1. When fitting keypad and PIR cabling do not use excessive
force to pull the cable into position. This may damage the
connectors and result in the keypad or PIR not operating
correctly. Always handle the connectors with care.
2. If there is an excess of cable after fitting the keypad or PIR
then do not coil the cable as this will act as an aerial and
may cause interference problems. Remove excess cable
by re-routing or (for the screw terminal PIR) simply cut the
cable to the correct length. Do not cut the cable whilst it is
connected to the control unit as damage will result.
3. Do not run the keypad or PIR cable within 30cm of a spark
generator.
4. All wiring connections made to the unit must be in
accordance with BS 7671 & BS EN 1648-1/2
5. Ensure LV cables in the van and ELV cables from the
alarm are segregated and not allowed to come into contact
with each other. Especially those relating to ignition
circuits.
6. It is recommended that a 1 amp in-line fuse be fitted in the
green and red input cables to the IDM control box to
protect the cabling.
7. Cable colours are given as a guide and may vary between
models of caravan.
Battery Storage & Warranty Information
1. The warranty of the alarm systems integral battery is
limited to 90 days from date of purchase.
2. When storing large amounts of product ensure stock is
rotated accordingly to prevent flat batteries. Ideal storage
temperature is 10ºC, higher temperatures will cause a
faster drain.
3. If ‘charge by’ date (shown on packaging) is reached prior
to fitting, then ensure battery is charged up to maintain
battery life. Date shown is 6 months from the date of
manufacture.

Take special care that loose strands do not touch other
contacts on the terminal block.
8. Fix the PIR into position using the two fixing points
provided on the mounting bracket.
9. Back at the control unit, connect the PIR loom (4-way plug)
to the appropriate socket.
10. Ensure you wait at least 30 seconds for the PIR to warm
up before testing.
Tow Sensor
1. There are three wires that exit from the side of the control
unit. Using a length of 3-core cable connect to the 12S as
below.
2. Green wire connects to permanent car battery positive
supply (12S Green). On post-98 caravans there will be a
relay inside the van to switch between permanent car
battery and leisure battery charging. Ensure the green
wire is on the permanent car battery position.
3. White wire connects to the dc negative (12S White)
4. Red wire connects to the car charge facility i.e. caravan
battery (12S Blue). The red wire provides a back-up
power supply from the caravan battery. Again on post-98
caravans this output will be from a relay inside the van.
5. To protect cabling we recommend the fitment of a 3A
(maximum) in-line fuse to both the Green (tow) and Red
(charge) wires.
Important Notes
1. When fitting keypad and PIR cabling do not use excessive
force to pull the cable into position. This may damage the
connectors and result in the keypad or PIR not operating
correctly. Always handle the connectors with care.
2. If there is an excess of cable after fitting the keypad or PIR
then do not coil the cable as this will act as an aerial and
may cause interference problems. Remove excess cable
by re-routing or (for the screw terminal PIR) simply cut the
cable to the correct length. Do not cut the cable whilst it is
connected to the control unit as damage will result.
3. Do not run the keypad or PIR cable within 30cm of a spark
generator.
4. All wiring connections made to the unit must be in
accordance with BS 7671 & BS EN 1648-1/2
5. Ensure LV cables in the van and ELV cables from the
alarm are segregated and not allowed to come into contact
with each other. Especially those relating to ignition
circuits.
6. It is recommended that a 1 amp in-line fuse be fitted in the
green and red input cables to the IDM control box to
protect the cabling.
7. Cable colours are given as a guide and may vary between
models of caravan.
