Installation Instructions
Before fixing the Control Panel to the wall it is important to verify that the location
has suitable mobile network coverage. Power up the unit and then temporarily
place (or hold) the Panel in the desired location.

2. Connecting the Device
When you first power up the unit you will see that the time in the bottom left
of the display is 00:00. Within 5 minutes the time is updated to show the
server time (Note: The server time is Greenwich Mean Time and so will not
necessarily correspond to local time). This means that the Control Panel has
successfully made contact with the Rentokil server. The reception strength bars
on the bottom right of the display are shown and if the Control Panel is correctly
located then this should show 3 or more bars. If the time is not updated or the
Signal Strength indicator shows less than 3 bars, then you should investigate
alterative locations for the Panel. Note: if the Control Panel does not update
the time within 5 minutes of being powered on then no further attempts to
connect with the server will be made for 1 hour. During a setup phase if power
is removed from the Control Panel and re-applied then another sequence of 5
minutely attempts will occur.
1. Network Coverage
Having successfully selected a location and proved that the signal is good,
the bracket can be mounted to the wall (as shown in the next section), the
Control Panel is attached and then powered up. Once the time has updated
you are ready to proceed with the installation of the system (please refer to the
equipment manuals for the devices that are being installed for more details).
3. Mounting Preparation
There are a number of error messages that can be displayed
when the panel is first connecting to the server, this often occurs
when a Control Panel is connecting via a new network, the Panel
will continue to try to connect, so these messages may clear after
a short while. If they are still showing after 10 minutes then you
should restart the Panel. If the messages continue to show for 5
minutes a second time, then you should refer to your PestConnect
system contact.
