Installation Manual

Mounting the Device
Choose a mounting location based on the previous site survey. Mount the coordinator/receiver
as close as possible to the location found with the test coordinator/receiver. Use the following
sections as a guideline for coordinator/receiver mounting and spacing.
Indoor installation
Select a mounting location that:
– provides a clear line-of-sight of the protected area, if possible.
– is at least 31 cm (1 ft.) away from metal objects such as HVAC ducts.
– is on an inside wall, if possible.
– is 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5 ft. to 6 ft.) from the floor.
– is not at a barrier where it is important to resolve which side an alarm location is on.
– is not damaged by tampering or opening doors.
Spacing
Coordinator/receiver spacing should be no more than 25 m (80 ft.) between each coordinator/
receiver for standard construction. Range depends on the construction of the building. For
example, a building with hollow drywalls may support 25 m (80 ft.) spacing, but a building
with steel reinforced concrete may require reduced spacing. It is very important to maintain a
consistent spacing as this ensures optimum signal locating. The better the coordinator/
receivers can detect a transmitted signal, the more accurate the locating.
Mounting height
Mount coordinator/receivers 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5 ft. to 6 ft.) from the floor. Maintain a consistent
mounting height to ensure optimum signal locating. Do not place coordinator/receivers close
to the ceiling. This places them closer to the floor above reducing the floor-to-floor location
accuracy. It is also helpful to place the coordinator/receivers somewhat higher on the top floor
to be covered and somewhat lower on the bottom floor to be covered.
Multi-floor installations
Mount coordinator/receivers over one another in multi-floor installations. This helps maintain
proper floor-to-floor reception.
