System Installation and Configuration

3.1

Plan the Installation

When planning the installation, identify suitable locations for the control panel, control center,
optionbus, and wireless devices before installing any system components. When identifying
these locations, ensure that the following considerations are addressed.
Task
1. Identify the location for
the control panel.
2. Test for GSM signal
strength.
3. Identify the location for
the control center.
4. Identify the location for
the RADION receiver.
5. Identify the location for
the RADION devices.

Install System Components

Notice!
Use proper anchor and screw sets when installing the enclosure on non-load-bearing
surfaces, such as drywall.
Follow anti-static procedures when handling the control panel board. Touch the earth ground
terminal on the control panel board to discharge any static charge before working on the
control panel board.
If you install more than one control center, mount them at least 1.2 m apart.
Do not install the RADION receiver within 15 cm (6 in) of the control centers metal enclosure.

Considerations
– Only use authorized service personnel to install this system.
– Plan to install the control panel in a centrally located room that is near the AC
Power MAINS.
– Plan to install the control panel in a location with a good earth ground.
– Because the control panel is permanently connected equipment, a readily
accessible disconnect device must be included into the building installation
wiring.
Use your cell phone to identify an area with good GSM signal strength by
monitoring the signal strength on your mobile phone.
If the intended location of the control panel has poor GSM signal strength, find a
new location for the control panel.
Plan to install the control center near the primary entry and exit door.
Plan to install the receiver in a location with good radio-frequency (RF)
characteristics and within 200 m of the control panel.
– RADION devices are intended only for indoor, dry applications. Avoid installing
the devices where excessive humidity or moisture, or temperatures outside of
the acceptable operating range, exist.
– Mount RADION devices on flat, rigid surfaces. For more information, refer to
each device's installation instructions.
– Avoid mounting RADION devices in areas with large metallic objects, electrical
panels or electric motors. They might reduce the (RF) range of a RADION
device.
