Installation Outline

The following outline is intended to guide the installing alarm
dealer through the complete installation of a Go!Control system.
Use the following outline in conjunction with this copy of the
Installation Instructions to guide you through the installation.
1. Unpack the system. Identify the system components.
2. Plan the installation by creating an installation fl oor plan.
Determine the best centralized location for the Control Panel.
Decide on where the wireless sensors will be installed.
3. Identify an un-switched 120 VAC power source for plugging
in the Control Panel's power supply.
4. Identify or install a U.S.O.C. RJ31X telephone jack for
connection of the Control Panel's communicator.
5. Use the Control Panel's mounting plate as a template to mark
the mounting location for the Control Panel. Mark any drywall
cutouts behind the mounting plate required for the installation
and make the cutouts.
6. Attach the mounting plate to the wall using three screws.
7. Install each of the system's wireless sensors. If either of the
two hardwire loops are going to be used, install the contacts
and route the loop wire to the Control Panel's wall cutout. Use
the log in the quick programming guide to document each
sensor's ID number and location.
8. Install the optional remote sounder, and route the connection
wire to the Control Panel's wall cutout.
9. Route the telephone line from the RJ31X jack to the Control
Panel's wall cutout.
10. Using the "third hand" strap, hang the Control Panel on the
mounting plate in preparation for wiring.
11. Connect all wiring to the Control Panel's terminal block.
12. Plug the telephone line into the Control Panel's telephone
jack.
13. Plug the backup battery connector into the connector on the
Control Panel's circuit board.
14. Swing the Control Panel up, placing the bottom over the lip of
the mounting bracket. Push the top of the Control Panel into
the mounting bracket until it snaps into place, then secure it
with the retaining screw.
15. Plug the power supply into the un-switched 120 VAC wall
outlet.
16. Program the system as described in this manual and mark
the check boxes in the Operation and User's Guide to indicate
any custom setup to the subscriber.
17. Test the system as described in this manual.
18. Instruct the subscriber on the system operation and provide
the Operation and User's Guide to the subscriber.

Wireless Installation Tips

When installing any wireless system, certain limitations must
be considered. Low power wireless transmitter signals will not
broadcast equally through all types of construction materials. The
Control Panel contains a very sensitive receiver that should allow
placement of transmitters in almost all locations.
Here are some general wireless guidelines that should be reviewed
before beginning the installation. Follow these tips to create the
best possible functioning wireless installation.
