General installation
Phases of installation
The installation of the RADION system is achieved by following the sequential process as
defined in this chapter. Overall, there are four main phases;
–
Planning
–
Physical installation of the devices
–
System enrollment/configuration
–
System testing (walk test, pattern test)
It is essential that these steps or phases are adhered to in the order mentioned above for
proper functionality and operation.
When installing a RADION system, you must plan your installation based on the control panel
and RADION device specifications, and the radio-frequency signal strength (RFSS) between
devices, receivers, and control panels.
Installation considerations
–
RADION devices are intended only for indoor, dry applications.
–
Mount RADION devices on flat, rigid surfaces. Some devices can be optionally corner
mounted as indicated in the installation instructions.
–
Avoid mounting RADION devices in areas with large, metallic objects, electrical panels, or
electric motors. They might reduce the radio-frequency (RF) range of a RADION device.
–
Avoid installing the devices where excessive humidity, moisture, or temperatures outside
of the acceptable operating range exist.
–
Wire all objects according to their specifications.
–
RADION devices use batteries of varying types. When installing batteries, observe safety
and polarity recommendations as indicated in the documentation for those products.
Installation workflow
To install, configure, and test the system, use the workflow below and follow in sequential
order, from top to bottom, checking each box as you complete a step.
Notice!
Always power down the control panel when connecting modules, or other wiring. Power
down the control panel by unplugging the transformer and disconnecting the battery
Plan the installation of the RADION system
Install the RADION components (refer to the graphical installation guides and this system
reference guide for details)
Program wireless points in the control panel
Enroll point RF ID for wireless points
Verify LED responses on devices
Perform a local walk test for installed detectors
Review signal strength and margin of each point
Complete the installation
