Plan The Installation - Honeywell Domonial CMI Series Installer Manual

Plan the installation

To ensure the installation process is successful we recommend that you mark the position
of the system components on a drawing of the building.
A layout drawing is shown on the following page to help you plan the wiring into and out
of the panel.
Select positions for the panel and peripheral devices to maximise GSM signal level (if used),
audio coverage (if used), and wireless radio signal levels.
Note: Radio transmission is attenuated when sent through wood, Artex, brick, concrete, and steel
reinforcements. It is reflected by metal surfaces such as mirrors, steel sheeting, aluminium steam-
arrestor, and fine-mesh wire-netting.
Avoid these locations:

Metal objects, for example water tanks

230 VAC cables or consumer units

Close proximity to loud speakers
When used, the telephone line to the control panel must be as discrete as possible, and guarded
by a detector.
To ensure that alarm transmission takes priority over other telephone communications, always
position the panel after the exchange line and before all telephone extensions in the home.
If the site is equipped with an ADSL line, use a central ADSL filter after the exchange line
to separate telephone extensions and ADSL extensions.
For mains connection, the panel can be connected either via a socket outlet or directly to
a fused outlet.
