5. System installation
Disconnect power before making any electrical connections.
The following tools will be useful during installation:
•blade screwdriver 2.5 mm,
•Phillips screwdriver,
•precision pliers,
•flat nose pliers,
•drill with a set of drill bits.
5.1 Installation plan
The installation must be preceded by preparation of a plan of the security alarm system. It is
advisable to draw up a sketch of the premises and mark on it all the devices that are to be
included in the alarm system: control panel, keypads, detectors, sirens, expansion modules
etc. Thick walls, metal partitions, etc. decrease the range of cellular signal. Keep this in mind
when choosing the installation place for control panel. The control panel and other alarm
system components should be installed within the protected area.
5.2 Estimation of the system current consumption
At the security system planning stage you should sum up the currents consumed by all
devices included in the system (control panel mainboard, keypads, additional modules,
detectors, sirens, etc.). The calculation should take into account the battery charging current.
