installation guides).
This reference guide contains:
– A description of the general installation procedure.
– Device-specific installation procedures.
– Specification information.
How to use this document
The information contained in this document is constructed in a manner that is systematic and
sequential for the installer on a “point of need” basis. The following represents a basic outline
of that information;
– Chapter 1 (this chapter) – introductory information and how to use this document.
– Chapter 2 – basic RADION system-wide general installation information and workflow
check list.
– Chapter 3 – RADION receiver-specific installation information.
– Remaining chapters – RADION device-specific installation information.
– Appendix – description of various icons and symbols used within the RADION
documentation.
Icons and symbols
When you see the following logo in the RADION graphical installation guides listed in Table
3.1, refer to the appropriate section in this document.
Additional icons and symbols, which appear in the RADION graphical installation guides, are
explained in the appendix section of this guide. Refer to the Appendices, page 57 for more
information.

General installation
Phases of installation
The installation of the RADION system is achieved by following the sequential process as
defined in this chapter. Overall, there are four main phases;
– Planning
– Physical installation of the devices
– System enrollment/configuration
– System testing (walk test, pattern test)
It is essential that these steps or phases are adhered to in the order mentioned above for
proper functionality and operation.
When installing a RADION system, you must plan your installation based on the control panel
and RADION device specifications, and the radio-frequency signal strength (RFSS) between
devices, receivers, and control panels.
Installation considerations
– RADION devices are intended only for indoor, dry applications.
– Mount RADION devices on flat, rigid surfaces. Some devices can be optionally corner
mounted as indicated in the installation instructions.
– Avoid mounting RADION devices in areas with large, metallic objects, electrical panels, or
electric motors. They might reduce the radio-frequency (RF) range of a RADION device.
– Avoid installing the devices where excessive humidity, moisture, or temperatures outside
of the acceptable operating range exist.
– Wire all objects according to their specifications.
– RADION devices use batteries of varying types. When installing batteries, observe safety
and polarity recommendations as indicated in the documentation for those products.
Installation workflow
To install, configure, and test the system, use the workflow below and follow in sequential
order, from top to bottom, checking each box as you complete a step.
Notice!
Always power down the control panel when connecting modules, or other wiring. Power
down the control panel by unplugging the transformer and disconnecting the battery
Plan the installation of the RADION system
Install the RADION components (refer to the graphical installation guides and this system
reference guide for details)
Program wireless points in the control panel
Enroll point RF ID for wireless points
Verify LED responses on devices
Perform a local walk test for installed detectors
Review signal strength and margin of each point
Complete the installation

Unpacking information
When unpacking the receiver, repeater, or bill trap device, it is important to remove the
cardboard insert as illustrated below;
Figure 2.1: Insert for the receiver and repeater
Figure 2.2: Insert for the bill trap
Wall tamper switch installation
RADION transmitter devices contain a feature that activates the wall tamper switch located on
the base of the device. In order to properly install the device, you must consider the following:
– To properly install a device with active wall tamper functionality, insert a screw in the
designated screw slot location.
– Failure to insert a screw into the wall tamper slot prevents the wall tamper feature from
generating a tamper signal when the transmitter is pulled away from a wall.
Magnet cover installation
During the installation of the plastic magnet cover, the cover is not designed to be separated
from the base after the base and cover are snapped together. Damage to the plastics may
occur if separated.
Complete installation
Testing the entire RADION system can only be achieved by performing an area wide test
through the control panel and corresponding keypad(s). This is achieved by performing an
overall service walk test. Refer to your control panel documentation for system-walk, or other
system-wide testing procedures.

To ensure proper operation of the RADION devices, test the basic functionality of the device
locally. Depending on the RADION device to be tested, perform the following procedures for
functionality:
– When testing the receiver, power up the compatible control panel in which the receiver is
connected to and observe the LED behavior on the receiver.
– Local walk testing can be performed on the motion detectors as defined in the tritech
and PIR chapters of this guide.
– Magnet testing can be performed by opening or closing the door/window in which the
magnet is installed on.
Maintenance
It is recommended to check the battery of each device annually. This will ensure proper
operation and functionality of the devices.
Battery Life Extension feature (PIR and TriTech)
In the normal operating mode, an alarm can be transmitted only after three (3) minutes have
passed since the previous alarm restoral. This 3 minute lockout time reduces unnecessary RF
transmissions in high traffic areas, thereby extending battery life.
