2 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.
2.1 Installation workflow
