Sensor installations and specifications
Note: The maximum distance over which a sensor and the panel can
communicate may be reduced when the equipment is installed in a typical home.
Placement of the sensor, building materials and construction, location of mirrors
and other RF interfering/blocking devices can all reduce the overall range. It is
best to test stationary sensors (door/window, motion, CO, smoke, etc.) with the
panel at their actual installation location in order to make sure they will function
properly before final installation is complete. The panel provides feedback on the
signal strength of a sensor, which can be found under the Sensor Management
screen, as shown below.
It is recommended that sensors have at least 3 bars of signal strength in their
final installation location. If you are not able to achieve at least 1 bar, try to
reposition the sensor and check environmental variables to achieve a better
signal strength. Mirrors, glass, and appliances between the sensor and the panel
can all affect signal strength. Anything in the way of direct line of sight shortens
the length the signal can reliably travel. Objects have different impacts on the
signal depending on their material. Some materials are easier to pass through –
for example, plaster is easier to penetrate than metal foil.
