Installation guidelines
The detector was designed to be mounted on a flat surface or in a corner by means of the fixing screws and the anchor bolts
provided.

The base has hole arrangements where the plastic is thinner for mounting. The two arrangements are used to fix on a
surface while the four arrangements are used for fixing in a corner, as shown in the figure.

A triangular bracket that adds a rear tamper protection function is provided for installation in corners. Firstly, position
the triangular bracket on the wall with the two position indicators on the top towards the user. Then, install the detector
on the hooks of the triangular bracket. The four angular arrangements are not necessary unless the triangular bracket
is used for corner mounting.

It is advisable to install the detector as shown below:

In the point in which a possible intruder would normally cross the field of vision of the detector.

At a height of 1.9-2 m from the ground for optimal performance.

In a corner to have the widest view possible.

In a point in which the field of vision is not obstructed, e.g. by curtains, ornaments etc.
Restrictions

Do not position the detector pointing directly towards a door protected by a door contact, because the wireless
signals of the door contact and of the detector could be transmitted in the same instant and cancel themselves
out.

Do not install the detector so that it is completely exposed to direct sunlight.

Avoid installing the detector in areas in which devices which could cause sudden changes of temperature in the
detection area are present, such as air conditioning units, radiators etc.

Avoid the presence of large size obstacles in the detection area.

Do not point it directly towards sources of heat, such as stoves or boilers, or over radiators.

Avoid moving objects in the detection area, such as curtains, hanging objects etc.
Detection coverage

If installed at a height of 2 m, the detector covers a range of about 11 m.

The detector has a front coverage cone of about 60°. The detection function works best when the intruder
crosses the coverage area. For optimal performance, install the detector in a position which provides at least 2
m of side coverage and from 4 to 8 m of depth.
