Planning The Installation - Interlogix XTI-5 Installation Manual

Planning the installation

This section describes system capabilities to help you get familiar with your
system. The planning sheets contain tables that let you record the hardware and
programming configuration of your system. Complete all of the information ahead
of time to help prepare for system installation. See "Sensor names" on page 68
for sensor name segments listed alphabetically and by index number.
Locate the panel where alarm sounds can be heard and where the panel will be
easily accessible for operation. Do not install the panel near a window or door
where it can be reached easily by an intruder.
Planning sensor types and locations
The first step to an easy and successful installation is to decide what areas or
items to protect, which lights to operate, and the best location for the panel,
touchpad, sensors, and sirens. Metal objects, mirrors, and metallic wallpaper can
block signals sent by the wireless sensors. Make sure there are no metal objects
in the way when installing the system.
Use Table 3 below and Table 4 on page 5 to determine the appropriate sensor
type for the sensors you will be adding, and Table 5 on page 7 to document the
planned sensor information. You will need to understand the application for each
sensor.
