About the Wireless Alarm System
The Wireless Alarm System is a convenient,
Throughout this instructional manual, we’ll be referring to the building in which the alarm is installed as the “house” or “home”. This is not to say that the Wireless Alarm System cannot be installed in a business, office, warehouse or wherever you desire – however, we do anticipate that home security is the most practicable use for the Wireless Alarm System, and this manual is written from that viewpoint.
The methodology for installing the alarm system in another type of environment is practically identical.
Placement of the Keypad Alarm Control Unit and Sensors:
Before attempting to install the Home Wireless Alarm System, it’s worth taking the time to really think about and plan the best locations in your home to place your sensors and Keypad Alarm Control Unit.
When it comes to placing the sensors, there are two conflicting needs to consider. On the one hand, it’s important for the sensors to cover the areas most vulnerable to intrusion but, on the other hand, it shouldn’t be too easy for an intruder to access the sensors and avoid or physically damage them.
The Keypad Alarm Control Unit needs to be located somewhere close enough to an entrance/exit that you can get to it relatively quickly – this is important when arming the system before leaving the house, or disarming it when returning home if you don’t have the remote control handy. You certainly don’t want false alarms; but if they do occur, you want either the remote or Keypad Alarm Control Unit easily accessible to stop it before it wakes the neighbourhood!
Installing the Keypad Alarm Control Unit:
Remember that, unlike the sensors, the Keypad Alarm Control Unit needs to be connected to power using the supplied 9V power adaptor.
