Important Note:
•Please ensure the relevant checks and calculations for the alarm system current loading has been
performed to ensure the control panel has enough current capacity to power the APFSC unit.
This will need to be calculated to ensure the control panel PSU is not exceed in quiescent and
alarm conditions (an additional separate PSU may be required).
•If you have a power cut or the power is lost to your router/Wi-Fi unit then the APFSC will be
unable to forward any notifications to your mobile device/App. Communication will also need to
be active to your internet provider.
•Ensure the APFSC is installed away from any other 2.4 GHz products, such as other wireless
networks, Bluetooth systems or microwave ovens, as interference could be an issue.
•The APFSC will not work and is not supported on 5ghz, ONLY2.4G Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n supported
•Ensure the appropriate location of the APFSC to ensure a good strong Wi-Fi connection.
