1.0 Installation
Considerations
Mount the RF1100 on flat surfaces such as ceilings and
walls. Mount the unit to optimize glass break detection.
Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 for mounting examples.
In normal residential or commercial applications,
locate the RF1100 within 325 ft (100 m) of its assigned
receiver.
For best detector performance, select a
mounting location that is:
•
within 25 ft (7.6 m) of the protected
glass
•
within clear view of the protected
glass (there is no minimum range)
•
at least 6.5 ft (2 m) from the floor
•
at least 3.3 ft (1 m) from forced-air
ducts
•
at least 3.3 ft (1 m) from sirens or
bells (greater than 2 in. [5 cm] in
diameter)
•
mounted on a window frame if any
heavy window covering is present
If you must install the RF1100 in a zone
that is armed when occupied:
•
Avoid acoustically live areas such as
kitchens and bathrooms
•
Use a delay zone to provide the user
time to acknowledge the false alarms
•
Instruct system users how to respond
to a false alarm
Avoid mounting the detector:
•
in a corner
•
on the same wall as the protected
glass
•
on free-standing posts or pillars
•
in rooms with noisy equipment such as
air compressors, bells, and power tools
Glass break detectors are intended only as
a component of a perimeter protection
system. They should always be used in
conjunction with motion sensors.
Test the detector in the desired mounting
location before drilling mounting holes.
Refer to Section 2.2 Testing on page 5.
The RF1100’s maximum outside RF range is
approximately 1000 ft (300 m).

be reduced.
3 Poor location: where the effectiveness of the RF1100 is impaired.
