Why is the device not arming?

The unit could be handed to the wrong side, or the magnet may be out of alignment.

Unplug battery and re-connect, if the unit beeps 5 times the unit is not handed.

Use the magnet locator when mounting the device.

If JP1 is cut the small stock Detex magnet will no longer work and the unit is now looking for wired contacts.
