INSTALLATION
The Guardian 1000
™
uses Radio Frequency (RF) waves for communication to the nearest cellular tower and can
transmit at several times the power of a hand-held cellular phone. In general, if you can place a cellular telephone call
in the location where you wish to install the unit, then the Guardian should be able to communicate properly. However,
because of the inherent characteristics of RF communications, there are certain guidelines that should be followed when
positioning the unit.
Warning:
• Do not install the
Guardian 1000
™
where hazardous vapors are present.
• Do not use the Guardian 1000
™
where blasting is in progress.
• Electrostatic discharge can damage sensitive electronic components. Be sure to discharge yourself by touching a
grounded metal object before opening the unit.
• The unit should be installed in an area free from overhanging metal structures, large obstructions, or equipment which
could generate RF or electrical interference.
• Do not install the unit below ground level unless provisions are made for an external antenna.
• Service may be limited in areas that do not have GSM cellular coverage and support SMS (Short Message Service).
• If the unit is installed in an area with poor signal strength, an external antenna may be required for reliable performance.
Please contact FLO-CORP Customer Service to determine your exact needs.

available. Refer to the procedure below for the installation into a vent line.
• For Ultrasonic Guardian 1000

ultrasonic readings.
