Stripping the machine
As stated above, the Datatool website carries information for many machines on parts removal for alarm installation.
Always take extreme care when removing and storing panels from the machine to ensure they do not get damaged.
Always note the size, type and position of any fixing you remove. It is very easy to forget what goes where.
Should a panel prove difficult to remove, take a further look to ensure the strip sequence is correct and that all fixing
devices have been removed (it’s very easy to miss that little hidden clip).
Planning the installation
The machine information from the website, along with the alarm/accessory sheet, will help to provide information on
where the unit is best mounted along with any specific customer requirements. These should be used as a guide.
Always plan the physical position for all the alarm components prior to installation. If there is any doubt on panel fit,
ALWAYS temporarily mount the unit and refit the panel prior to wiring the alarm. Once the alarm has been installed it may
be impossible to move the position to a new location. A few moments spent checking at this point can save several hours
of re-working. When selecting the alarm position do not forget the connector block protection housing.
Cable tie mounting technique
Well nut mounting technique
Where possible always use the bracket assembly supplied with the kit, but if this is not possible
alternative methods such as cable ties, double sided tape, heavy duty velcro, etc can be used.
