GENERAL RECOMMENDED RAD ARRANGEMENT

Recognizing that each installation may easily differ in size and shape, RAD placement will vary to

accommodate the differences.

General Tips

1. Optimum RAD height mounting should be kept to 3-5 meters (10-16 feet).

2. In central ceiling of area, a field RAD should be installed in a central location.

3. Then some field RADs should be installed in corner or side-wall locations and tilted at 45º towards the

center of the protected area.

4. Minimum of three fields RADs is recommended to mount at room corners for optimum Field.

5. For optimum synchronization adjacent RADs should be separated by approximately 3-6 meters (10-

20 feet) too far of spacing will decrease the sync ability..

6. EAS RAD should be mounted on the outside of the exit and tilted 45º towards the outside to avoid

radiating into the protected area.

7. Each field RAD will be assigned a synchronization ID (1 to 6). Multiple RADs may share the same ID

but they must not be physically installed at adjacent locations.

Notice: how to assign a synchronization ID to field RADs, please find reference in the RAD’s DIP Switch

Configuration Session in last page.

8. The POS RAD may be installed anywhere within the protected area but not near the EAS RAD.
