Install antenna as shown. Securely tighten screw. Slide antenna
insulator grommet down to engage with hole on top of case.
NOTE: If an antenna other than that supplied is used, it must have a
antenna gain of 6 dBi or less in order to comply with the RF exposure
warning. Refer to the antenna manufacturer specifications for details.
WARNING: DO NOT APPLY POWER TO UNIT UNTIL ANTENN
A
IS INSTALLED! DAMAGE WILL OCCUR!

Wait 1 minute after power-up, then observe the Coverage LED. The
LED will blink a number of times to indicate the network signal strength, as
follows:
# BLINK COVERAGE # BLINK COVERAGE
9 95% 4 70%
8 90% 3 65%
7 85% 2 60%
6 80% 1 55%
5 75% 0 50%
CONSTANT RAPID BLINKING = NETWORK HAS ISSUED A
SHUTDOWN COMMAND – CONTACT PROVIDER.
Permanently mount the unit in a fixed, indoor location which provides at
least 65% coverage. Always mount the unit at least 2 feet away from large
metal objects and human beings.

Press the manual test button to send test signal to the Network.
The coverage LED will blink rapidly for 3 seconds while the test signal is
bein
g
sent. Confirm reception of si
g
nal with provider.
5
Trigger input channels. All input channels have an integration delay
of 1 second. Default trigger method is voltage (5 to 15VDC). To change
channels 1 to 4 trigger method to “Electronic Pull-to-Ground”, cut resistors
R1 to R4, respectively. The coverage LED will blink rapidly for 3 seconds
while the channel trigger signal is being sent. Confirm reception of signal
with

WARNING: To ensure user's safety and to satisfy FCC RF exposure
requirements, this unit must be installed, so that a minimum separation
distance of 34 cm is always maintained between the antenna of the
transmitting device and nearby persons. Operation at closer than this
distance is not recommended.
