when selecting a location:
•Place approximately in the center of the installation site between all the transmitters, preferably in a hidden
location.
•Place in close proximity to an AC source.
•Place in close proximity to a telephone line connection when a PSTN is used.
•Place in close proximity to a home router wired Ethernet connection when an Ethernet network is used.
•Ensure that there is good cellular coverage, when a Cellular Module is used.
•Place far from sources of wireless interference, such as:
oComputers or other electronic devices, power conductors, cordless phones, light dimmers, etc.
oLarge metal objects such as metal doors or refrigerators.
Note: A distance of at least 1 meter (3 ft.) is recommended.
When mounting wireless devices,take note of the following:
•Make sure that the signal reception level for each device is either Strong or Good, but not Poor. If the reception of
the cellular module is poor, use an external cellular antenna.
•Wireless magnetic contacts should be installed in a vertical position and as high up the door or window as possible.
•Wireless PIR detectors should be installed upright at the height specified in the associated Installation Instructions.
•Repeaters should be located high on the wall in mid-distance between the transmitters and the control panel.
WARNING! To comply with FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the control panel should be located at
a distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during normal operation. The antennas used for this product must not be
