System Installation
Radio Site Survey
With a wirefree system we recommend that you carry out radio tests as part of a site survey to ensure that the control panel can receive the radio signal from the detectors. If you cannot do the tests during a survey, carry them out before installation.
Procedure for simple Installation
1.Place the control panel in its planned location.
2.Power up the control panel.
3.Program the control panel to learn a detector.
4.Select the "Walk Test" option (see user guide).
5.Test the reception by triggering the detector at each planned location. If the control panel generates a tone the detector is being received.
Procedure for Certified Installation
You will need a 545r Radio Signal Strength meter and a 546 Test Transmitter.
1.Switch the test transmitter on and place it at the proposed site for the control panel. The transmitter sends a pulsed signal, 10 seconds on and 5 seconds off.
2.Switch the test meter into "Track" mode and walk around the premises.
3.Check that the signal strength is between 5 and 9 at each proposed location for detectors.
4.Move to a different location to improve the signal strength if it is between 1 and 4. Make sure the new location is suitable for the detector.
5.Change the location of the test transmitter if the signal strength is not greater than 4 for any transmitter, make sure that the user agrees to the new location for the control panel.
6.For certified systems note down the signal strength for each detector location and keep a record in the control panel and in the installation file.
Control Panel Location
The following considerations must be taken when installing the control panel.
1.Positioned in a convenient location to connect the mains supply.
2.Positioned within the protected area.
3.Positioned in a convenient location so that the users can reach the control panel in order to operate the system.
4.Ensure that there is a clear space around the control panel to allow it to receive a good radio signal.
Do NOT locate the panel
5.Outside the area covered by the alarm system.
6.Near to ground level.
7.Close to or on large metal structures, for example: water tanks, cars, fridges and freezers.
8.Closer than 1 metre to mains wiring and metal water or gas pipes.
9.Inside steel closures.
10.Next to high voltage electrical equipment, or electronic equipment, particularly computers, photocopiers or other radios.
Cable Routing
When installing cables, the following should be noted:
☞Ensure that all Network and hard wired detection circuit cables are kept clear of mains supply cables, telephone cables, R.F. cables and cables supplying bells or sounders.
☞Mains power supply cables to the system must be connected to an
