Step 1: Install The Main Control Unit
The Main Control Unit requires both AC power and a phone line to be plugged in. Therefore, it should be located as close as possible to a power and phone outlet and preferably mounted out of sight. For maximum wireless range, mount the unit at a height of 1.5m or greater from the floor, and ensure there are no metal objects directly adjacent to the antenna.
Note: Make the antenna as straight as possible, as even small bends can reduce the wireless range significantly. DO NOT ever attempt to shorten or lengthen the antenna.
Antenna – Keep vertical & straight
Installing the Main Control Unit
1.Drill mounting holes (7mm Diameter) into the chosen location (preferably 1.5m or greater from the floor).
2.Once installed, the antenna on the back of the main control unit must be straightened so that it is vertical.
3.Push the supplied wall plugs into the holes then mount the unit on the wall using the supplied screws.
4.Plug the power adapter (with the right angle plug) into your power point (leaving it switched off), and connect the right angle plug into the Main Control Unit.
5.Connect your phone line via the line socket using the lead provided. If using a regular phone from the same wall socket, connect it to the phone socket.
6.Turn the power point on where the power adapter is connected.
7.Prepare to select billing plan if you intend to change the plan (Default: Home Plan)
8.If there is no change to the monitoring plan, Turn the master key switch on the main control unit to the on position.
The Watchguard Digital has been designed with most single & two storey residential / business premises in mind. In some instances however, (due to the construction of the building) range may be diminished, and this may require you to locate either the main control unit, the external siren, or the alarm detector closer to one another to achieve reliable performance. Carrying out Auto Siren test (Refer Page 45) and Walk Test (Refer Page 43) will ensure best operation.
