the signal strength on your mobile phone.
If the intended location of the control panel has poor GSM signal strength, find a
new location for the control panel.
3. Identify the location for
the control center.
Plan to install the control center near the primary entry and exit door.
4. Identify the location for
the wLSN Hub.
Plan to install the wLSN Hub in a location with good radio-frequency (RF)
characteristics and within 100 m of the control panel.
5. Identify the location for
the wLSN devices.
– wLSN devices are intended only for indoor, dry applications. Avoid installing the
devices where excessive humidity or moisture, or temperatures outside of the
acceptable operating range, exist.
– Mount wLSN devices on flat, rigid surfaces. For more information, refer to each
device's installation instructions.
– Avoid mounting wLSN devices in areas with large metallic objects, electrical
panels or electric motors. They might reduce the (RF) range of a wLSN device.

NOTICE!
Before permanently installing any wLSN device, verify that the radio-frequency signal strength
(RFSS) between the planned device location and the planned wLSN Hub location is
acceptable.
!
CAUTION!
If you have wireless devices that you will not immediately install, reinsert the battery tabs or
remove the batteries to prevent battery depletion.

NOTICE!
You can perform the RFSS site test using the wLSN Hub and the specific device you wish to
test. However, you must use the Installation Tool with the wLSN Smoke Detector. You cannot
determine RFSS with the detector itself. Refer to Section 3.1 Perform a RFSS Site Test with the
Hub and the Device, page 28 for instructions.
