2.0 INSTALLATION
2.1 L
OCATION
Mount the Wireless Bus Module on a wall allowing at least 5cm (2ft) around the
module to permit adequate ventilation and heat dissipation. Select a site that is not
susceptible to drastic temperature changes. Avoid installation near or in the path of
strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects, circuit
breaker boxes, air conditioners, and heater ducts since they may cause interference
and reduce its sensitivity. We recommend installing it in a centralized location on the
main floor. Avoid installing it in the basement. Refer to the
Digiplex Control Panel's
Reference & Installation Manual for maximum allowable distances between the
control panel and the Wireless Bus Module.

OUNTING
Firmly screw the two antennas into the connectors marked ANT on the Receiver
Module (see Figure 2.1). Using a drill or screwdriver, punch out the four mounting
holes on the back of the plastic case. Align the six holes of the printed circuit board
with the six pins on the back plastic mounting case and snap into place. If placed
correctly, the antennas will lean directly over the grooves in the mounting case.
Do not cut, bend, or alter the antennas. Avoid mounting the Receiver
Module near or on metal as this may affect its sensitivity.
The Wireless Bus Module is connected to the control panel's bus in a star and/or
daisy chain configuration. The bus is a 4-wire communication bus that provides
power and two-way communication between the control panel and all the modules
connected to it. Connect the
GRN
and
YEL
terminals from the Receiver Module to the
corresponding
GRN
and
YEL
terminals of the control panel. Connect the
RED
terminal
to the
AUX
+ of the control panel. Connect the
BLK
terminal to the
AUX
- of the control
panel.
Remove AC power and then remove the battery from the control panel
before adding a bus module to the system or it may cause communication
trouble.
