1Overview
The ES7000EG is a two-way, wireless control panel unit comprising the main
element of the EverGuard Control Panel security system. This unit receives Radio
Frequency (RF) signals from a full array of sensors and detectors, remote access
devices and interface devices, such as a key fob and key pad. It also transmits
bidirectional RF signals to these units providing supervision, re-configuration,
control and more.
The control panel has RF and GSM jamming detection and reporting feature,
making it very hard to be tampered or hacked.
This user guide provides detailed information on installing, configuring and
operation of the ES7000EG security system.
For information on the initial setup of the ES7000EG Security System, defining
the peripherals and setting the initial parameters, refer to the Atlas Mobile section
3.3.1 below.
For information on modifying and updating the ES7000EG Control Panel
parameters, refer to the ESI-CMS section 3.3.2 below2.

2.1 ES7000EG Wall Mount
The ES7000EG can be mounted on a wall using the wall mount provided. In
addition, you must verify that there is adequate reception from the key pad
(ES700KPD) to the ES7000EG control panel and vice versa.
Note: The distance between the ES7000EG control panel and the
peripheral devices can be a maximum of 700 meters (2296 feet) (Open Air
Nominal) if there are no obstacles. The range can be augmented using the
ES700SOIR Repeater. (For more information on the ES700SIOR, refer to
the ES700SIOR User Guide.)
Mounting the ES700KPD requires the following components:
Drill with appropriate bit
Four (4) DIN 7982 cross recessed countersunk head tapping screws (4.2 x 40
mm)(not provided)
Standard appropriate screwdriver
To select a mounting location:
1. Find a suitable wall location:
Select a suitable location that is not too obvious, a secret or hidden
location that is not close to entry points, such as doors and windows.
The control panel must be located in an area that has good GSM signal
reception.
The control panel must be installed with a minimal distance of 20 cm
(0.66 ft) from users and nearby persons and must not be co-located or
operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
The minimal installation height from the floor must be 70 cm (2.3 ft), and
at least 50 cm (1.65 ft) below the ceiling.
The control panel should be installed in a centric location, which means
centered between all the rooms and all the floors in the building.
The control panel should not be installed near:
High current electric appliances such refrigerators, washing
machines, electric or fuse boxes, etc.
Appliances such as cordless phones, TVs, which could cause
interference.
Heat sources such as stoves, radiators, or fireplaces, etc.
In any kind of metal enclosures like a metal cabinets or lockers.
2. Only after all the RF devices have been installed and tested, should the
installer mount the panel.
