2. Mounting the Control Panel
WARNING: ELECTRIC SHOCK HAZARD
Any work inside the control panel must be carried out by qualified personnel
Before opening the panel, first disconnect the mains supply from the fuse switch.
After opening the panel, disconnect the telephone line before operation,
The label with mains information is located on the external left side of the panel base.
2.1 Installing a Wireless System
Before installing the panel, you need to find the best position to ensure the optimum GSM level or Audio
coverage, when used, as well as the optimum radio level for the installed peripheral devices.
Radio transmission can be attenuated when sent through certain materials (wood, Artex, brick, concrete, steel
reinforcements) and reflected by metal surfaces (mirror, steel sheeting, aluminium steam-arrestor, fine-mesh
wire-netting).
Before securing the various components of the system, test the radio link by positioning each peripheral unit
and the control panel in their anticipated final locations (use "SCAN RF" – see the programming section). It is
not necessary to register the peripheral at this stage.
LOCATIONS TO BE AVOIDED when mounting the panel: Close to metal objects, i.e. water tanks or close to
230 V AC cables or consumer units, or immediately next to speakers.
2.2 Cabling
When used, the telephone line to the control panel must be as discreet as possible, and guarded by a sensor.
To ensure that alarm transmission takes priority over other telephone communications, always position the
panel after the exchange line before every telephone extension in the home.
If the site is equipped with an ADSL line, use a central ADSL filter after the exchange line to separate
telephone extensions and ADSL extensions.
For mains connection, the panel can be connected either via a socket outlet or directly at the fuse box.
