VERIFY PAIRING:
Before permanently installing the sensor and after power is applied to the main
control module, verify that the correct quantity of sensors are paired. (Refer to
section 3.13 Manage Sensors for further pairing instruction). Verify the correct
serial numbers are listed in the active sensor column.

understand general sensor placement considerations.
Place a single sensor at the highest point of the equipment with the best line of
sight. Where equipment has varying points that can be higher at any given time,
multiple sensors should be installed at each of those points. Sensors cannot
be obstructed by metal at any time. The sensors have an adjustable protection
zone, set by the operator on the main control module. Always install sensors with
protection zones overlapping. Please refer to the following suggested installation
diagrams for examples. Wireless Sigalarm systems are not appropriate for all types
of equipment or every jobsite. When in doubt consult a Sigalarm technician.
MINIMUM APPROACH DISTANCE – MAD CONSIDERATIONS:
When installing multiple sensors on a piece of equipment, spacing between
sensors should be relative to minimum approach distance or MAD. The distance
between two sensors must not be greater than 1.75 x MAD. This ensures there
are no gaps in protection along the entire length of the boom. For example, if a
minimum approach distance is 20 feet, then the spacing between sensors should
be no more than 35 feet.

every jobsite. When in doubt consult a Sigalarm technician.
