The battery and circuitry in the power supply / battery box should be kept below 43 degrees
Celsius at all times. Direct sun on a hot day will take the power supply box over this level. So If
there is any possibility of this temperature being reached then shade must be provided for the
power supply box. The shade must not restrict airflow around the box. See previous diagram.
For further advice on deployment in difficult conditions please contact LPI.
Once the Sensor Assembly has been configured and both the Alarm Indication device and
power supply are connected, the sensor will run through a "Power-On-Self-Test". This tests
that the relay outputs are functioning correctly (an Alarm, Warning and All Clear Indication
should be seen/heard briefly when alarm output is enabled). After approximately 30 seconds of
operation without another "Power-On-Self-Test" the sensor is functioning correctly and ready for
operation.
A mounting pole can be supplied by LPI as an optional extra if required. Any mounting pole supplied
by the client must be 2-3m long to provide correct calibration height, and have a minimum internal
diameter of 61.5.mm.
Installation of Console / Console Antenna
The Console should be placed within approximately 2m of where the Console Antenna is to be mounted.
The supplied cable length is 2.5.m between the Console and the Console Antenna. The console should
also be positioned within a suitable distance to a power point. An Ethernet Cable with a length of up to
5.0m can be used to connect the Console to a Network Switch or dedicated computer.
Once Console and Antenna have been installed in a suitable location, connect the Coaxial Antenna
Cable to the Coaxial Flying Lead on the Console. The Console Antenna may be mounted inside building
if close to a window and retains line of sight to nearest sensor or Range Extender.
