How Do I Install The Abus Wireless Alarm System; Preparing The Base Plate; Assembling The Base Plate - Abus WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEM Installation Instructions Manual

5.2 How do I install the ABUS wireless alarm system?

The ABUS wireless alarm system is mounted on the wall in three steps. You need a flat screwdriver to open the casing. A battery-
powered screwdriver is best suited for drilling the holes for the fixing screws. You can then use this screwdriver to screw the fixing
screws into the wall.
Proceed as follows when installing the ABUS wireless alarm system:

5.2.1 Preparing the base plate

•
Loosen the casing screw in the middle of the base. When delivered, the case is not yet screwed together.
•
Separate the faceplate and the base plate with a flat screwdriver as shown in the graphic.
•
Carefully fold the faceplate upwards. To avoid destroying the fixing clamps on the top of the faceplate, make sure you do
not bend it up more than 45°.
•
Now draw the flat cable out of the fixing on the base plate.
The base plate and the faceplate are now separated. Place the faceplate to one side.
•
Now pull the battery lid out of the base plate.
•
Carefully fold the fixing clamps for the PC board outwards and pull the PC board out of the base plate.

5.2.2 Assembling the base plate

•
The base plate can now be used as a drill template for marking the drill holes. 6 different drill holes are provided. At least 4
have to be used to enable stable mounting of the ABUS wireless alarm system on the wall.
Never drill the holes through the base plate since this could destroy the plastic of the base plate. Remove the PC board so
that you can mark the drill holes.
•
Drill the holes and insert wall plugs if necessary. Fix the base plate to the wall using M4 screws at least 35mm long.
•
Before screwing the base plate to the wall, remove the cable openings for telephone and power cables with side-cutting
pliers (see sketch). This is not necessary if the cabling is fed through the back wall.
•
Adjust the lid contact (tamper) according to the triggering behaviour you require: The tamper contact is on the rear of the
base plate.
Box only – A tamper alarm is triggered only if the case is opened.
Box and Wall – A tamper alarm is triggered if the case is opened or removed from the wall. Select the Box and Wall
setting if the system is installed on a wall.
•
Guide the power and telephone cables into the case. Remember that you may want to incorporate control cables, and then
fix the base plate firmly to the wall using the screws provided.
•
Replace the PC board.
