6 Mounting and installation
6.1 Mounting
The radio-controlled alarm siren and flash actuator is housed inside
a surface-mounting enclosure whose IP 65 protection also ensures
suitability for mounting outdoors and in damp locations.
However, the device should be mounted in such a way that
unauthorised parties cannot gain access to it.
We therefore recommend mounting the device inside the item of
property to be protected, in a location that is easy to access for the
owner but cannot be accessed by unauthorised parties.
The mounting location should be selected so that the line to the
signalling device is as short as possible and the device is located
within the wireless range of the triggering HomeMatic device, e.g. the
central control unit or a sensor.
• The mounting position of the device must match that shown on
page 6/7; the recess for the battery must point downwards.
• The device is fastened to the wall through the four holes drilled in
the corners of the housing.
Make sure that the wall is able to carry a load at the points
where you have marked your bore holes and that no electricity,
gas, water or drain lines, etc. run there.
• Furthermore, the device rear panel is fastened to the wall using an
additional screw which must be fitted with the rubber seal included
in the package contents. This screw provides protection against
the device being removed from the mounting location unnoticed.
The bore hole is located in the battery compartment. Please use
the rubber seal included in the scope of supply when mounting
the device.
Once mounting is complete, the front panel will have to be
removed in order to gain access to this screw. If the front panel
is removed, the tamper sensor will trigger a warning message
which is sent to the central control unit.
