Installation
Console Installation
The console should be situated in a secure location close to either the primary computer used to
access the user interface, or to a router/network switch to allow for easy connection. This location
should allow for a co-axial antenna cable to be connected to an "out-door" wireless antenna. The
length of co-axial cable supplied is 2.5.m long. The out-door antenna must also have line of sight to a
sensor within a range of 1km. For multiple sensor systems the console antenna only requires line of
sight to the nearest sensor less than 1km away.
A recent web browser, such as Firefox, Chrome or Internet Explorer, must be installed on a
connected computer to view the web based user interface. Elements of the user interface may not
work correctly using an old browser.
The console requires a 6Vdc power supply, the power supply is included and comes with an
Australian 3pin to IEC C7.. mains lead.
If required the customer is to supply
an IEC C7. mains lead to suit their local
mains power socket outlet type.
