URITY SYSTEM
The wireless security system is ideal for labor i te sive
i stallatio s But, wireless also has limitatio s. A d, like
hardwired systems, requires skill to bid a d i stall effectively.
The wireless systems co sist of a receiver (co trol co sole) a d
o e or more tra smitters (se sor detectors). The tra smitters
alert the receiver whe co ditio s cha ge at a protected area.
The system i tegrity depe ds o the ability of the sig al to
reach the receiver. Usually tra smissio problems are caused
by: Lack of ra ge, Blocked or absorbed tra smissio , a d Null
spots. Let‘s take a look at each situatio :
LACK OF RANGE
Radio-waves travel outward like ri gs o the water. But they
are ot limited to a flat surface. I stead, they are
three-dime sio al. The tra smissio patter s are shaped
somewhat like a do ut with the hole filled i . The receiver has
a similar receptio patter . These patter s have implicatio s
for locati g equipme t.
The rule: Always mou t tra smitters a d receivers vertically for
best commu icatio .
Mou ti g tra smitters horizo tally ca disorie t the a te as
a d hamper receptio
But here is a exception to the rule: The receptio patter is
weaker directly above a d below the receiver. You ca
improve commu icatio by mou ti g tra smitters horizo tally
whe worki g i those areas. This causes more patter s to fall
directly o the receiver.
BLOCKED AND ABSORBED SIGNALS
Radio-waves pass through buildi g materials with varyi g
success.
Plasterboard and wood scarcely affect tra smissio s. Nearly
95 to 100% of the sig al will pass through.
Light concrete and masonry construction will absorb
portio s of the sig al - 65 to 95% of the sig al will pass through.

Concrete with steel reinforcement will have a pro ou ced
effect, a d o ly 10 to 70% of the sig al will get through,
depe di g o tra smitter placeme t.
Metals have a adverse affect o wireless tra smissio s.
Metal foils, lathe, a d sidi g co tai tra smissio s, a d reflect
them like light off mirror.
These reflected sig als could further complicate receptio by
causi g “Null spots”.
NULL SPOTS
Reflected sig als ca e ha ce or i hibit commu icatio .
These sig als may still reach the receiver. But, because they
take a differe t route, they arrive later. Depe di g o whether
or ot they arrive i -phase with the direct tra smissio
determi es receptio quality.
Whe the reflected sig al arrives out-of-phase, because the
peaks a d troughs of the waves offset each other, the receiver
does ‘t see a y sig al. This is called a null spot.
Whe the reflected sig al arrives i -phase with the direct
tra smissio , it adds to a d thus improve sig al stre gth.
Usually, movi g a tra smitter a little bit dista ce, you ca put
the waves i -phase, a d improve receptio .
SITE EVALUATION AND PRE-TEST
With the variables of ra ge, sig al blockage a d reflectio , a d
ull spots i mi d, you are ready to evaluate a site for wireless
by pre-testi g the system i tegratio .
To pre-test, temporarily tape up all tra smitters a d receivers i
place. DO NOT pre-test by holdi g a tra smitter i your ha d
-your body‘s capacita ce will affect tra smissio .
With the system temporarily taped i place, check performa ce.
Whe the performa ce does ‘t go right, checki g the codi g
a d the battery for the tra smitters. If both are OK, the sig al
is either bei g blocked, out of ra ge, or the tra smitter is i a
ull spot. Because wave patter s are u predictable, the best
first action is moving the transmitter a little bit in any
direction. It ca be guess work, but you are improvi g the
way reflected a d blocked sig als arrive.
As a last resort, the receiver may have to be relocated to a
positio more ce tral to all tra smitters. If u practical to move
the receiver, an external antenna can be added to positio the
receptio poi t ce trally to the tra smitters.
I the case of several remote tra smitters, a repeater
arrangement may be helpful. A wireless repeater is a
receiver/tra smitter combi atio placed withi receivi g
dista ce of remote tra smitters that are too far away to tra smit
to a desired locatio .

Co gratulatio s o your purchase of the Zeus VS-X9 Wireless
Security System. You have made a wise decisio i choosi g
it, for the VS-X9 offers the highest level of security a d
versatility but also the ease-to-use.
The VS-X9 is a 45 wireless channel plus 3 hardwired zone
supervised security system, desig ed for professio al –
reside tial a d commercial – uses.
The system status, i cludi g programmi g process, operatio
details, eve t/memory checki g, etc., is clearly i dicated from
the 16x2 LCD Display with plai la guage.
Up to 34 protectio areas, divided i to 6 Burglary a d 4
24-hour groups, ca be programmed to activate total 3 relay
outputs of Programmable, Latched a d 24-Hour.
The supervised tra smitters provide 5 hour status report as well
as alarm reports.
The VS-X9 system is equipped with the superior FSK
technology module a d allows 25 meters RF commu icatio
ra ge i ope space at 20 degree C.
I the eve t of a alarm, the VS-X9 ca call up to 4 perso s,
by se di g the voice messages, a d 1 other emerge cy CMS
service, by se di g the digital messages (Ademco Co tact ID
Protocol), via the fixed-li e telepho e etwork.
I additio , the called party ca , through the built-i Hands-free
Two-way commu icatio facility, to commu icate with the
perso s i site, i order to determi e which further actio

Whe mou ti g your co trol co sole co sider the followi g:
- DO mou t the co trol co sole at least 1.5 meter (5 feet) off the

- DO always mou t the co trol co sole vertically.
- DO mou t the co trol co sole o a first or seco d floor.
Never the baseme t.
- DO locate the co trol co sole ce trally to tra smitters.
- DO NOT mou t the co trol co sole o metal surfaces.
- DO NOT place the co trol co sole behi d large metallic
