6.CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION

SYSTEM LOCATION

✎NOTE: Wireless sensor signals must be able to reach the Control Panel.

✔Try to centrally locate the Control Panel.

✔Keep Control Panel away from large metal appliances.

✔Maximum recommended sensor range is 400 feet (system tested at 1000 feet).

✎NOTE: If you don't use the wireless keypad, a hardwired keypad should be easily accessible to the usual entrance.

✔When the Control Panel is set in the Away Mode, the user has 30 seconds to switch to Off Mode before the burglary siren sounds.

✎NOTE: Make sure a hardwired keypad is in a place where the alarm can be heard during the night hours.

✔Optional remote external sirens (up to 150 feet from the Control Panel) can be used to make alarms louder and remote the sound location.

1.Locate the Control Panel near a 115 VAC outlet that's not controlled by a light switch.

2.Locate the Control Panel near a telephone outlet (if using the digital communicator).

WALL MOUNTING

1.Use the Control Panel's case bottom as a template and mark the locations for the four mounting screws.

2.Mark the wiring access slot if the wiring is being routed from behind the cabinet.

3.Use a hole saw to cut out the location for the wiring access slot (if used) or punch out selected cabinet wiring knockouts for conduit wiring.

4.Use four screws and appropriate screw anchors to mount the unit to the wall.

EXTERNAL ANTENNA

✦Linear's Model LA-P antenna kit can be used with the DUAL 824P Control Panel to replace the standard internal antenna.

✦The antenna can be mounted on the cabinet, or the kit can be used to connect to co-ax for a remote antenna.

1.Remove the two standard white antenna wires attached to the ANT and SHIELD terminals.

2.Punch out the antenna knockout.

3.Mount the antenna connector in the antenna knockout.

4.Route the antenna co-ax down to the Control Panel's antenna connector.
