Plan the position of each part of the alarm system and the cable runs. Detectors
should be sited with particular regard to the degree of coverage required.
All of the system wiring is connected directly to the panel. The Accenta panel may
be concealed inside a cupboard or loft space, but it must be installed within the
protected premises and in a position which is convenient for a mains supply. The
Optima panel may be installed near an entry/exit point.
The Remote Keypads (RKPs) should be mounted in positions which allows
ease of operation for the system users, typically within the entry/exit route
close to the final door and the master bedroom.
Additional internal sound speakers are recommended, these will provide high
volume alarm tones and low volume entry/exit tones. Speakers should
be positioned to provide good sound distribution throughout the building and so that
the exit tone is audible outside the main entry / exit door. This will enable the system
operator to check that the system is setting correctly.
The total current output of this control system (in alarm condition) is 1A when
supported by a fully charged battery. Calculate the total including the panel, remote
keypads, external siren with strobe light (also called a bell box) and detectors to
ensure that this rating is not exceeded.
Depending on which area you live, you may be required, by law to notify the
Local Authority and Police of the new security alarm installation. The local
authority requirements may differ from area to area, therefore, it is advisable to
contact local environmental officer to obtain full details of your area requirements.
