Installation

Installation of the new ADA100

 

Emergency Call System by Housing Devices, Inc., is

simple to accomplish and very straight forward from an installer’s perspective.  Newly
incorporated PC board technology and the use of plug-in connectors have made installation
and expansion quick and easy.  The ADA-100 Emergency Call System provides a solution
for security and “Rescue Assistance” requirements.  Reviewing and following the below
listed recommendations will result in a trouble free installation and years of dependable
service.

Unpacking

The ADA 100 alarms, indicator lights, and rugged push buttons are set in vandal proof 16
gauge stainless steel for a lifetime of service and lasting appearance.  Although the ADA
100 is designed for long life and durability under difficult conditions, it can be damaged
during installation.  Please use care in unpacking the system components.

 

Equipment cartons damaged during shipping must immediately be reported to the
carrier, and also reported to the Manufacturer within 7 days for damage assessment
and potential repair

 

Prior to handling any electronic components on cold, dry days, the installer shall
discharge any collected static electricity to a known ground, in order to prevent
damage to the ADA 100 system logic by a static discharge

 

Avoid touching board components
