Recommended Ferrite Placement
Ferrites may need to be added to some or all of the wires, leading to the external receiver and the control panel.
Ferrites should be installed above the ceiling and at least 2 feet from the control panel or external receiver(s). The ferrite
is a split style ferrite and can be installed after the wires have been pulled down to the control panel or external receiver.
Open the ferrite and wrap the wires as many times around the ferrite as possible and still be able to snap closed the
ferrite, use a wire tie around the outer circumference of the ferrite but under the wire loops.
Tune your exit panel and external receivers until the yellow signal light is flickering 50% of the time. Start with the
external receiver location and find the wire leading down to the external receiver and apply the ferrite to the wire (do
not apply the wire tie until you have determined if the ferrite will remain at this location ), if the signal decreases leave
the ferrite on, tune the exit panel increasing the coverage until the signal light again starts flickering 50% of the time
and proceed to the next wire to be ferrited. If the signal light increases, remove the ferrite and proceed to any other
external receivers being used at this exit panel location. If after a ferrite is installed and there is no change on the signal
light, remove the ferrite. When all the external receiver locations have been determined if they need the ferrites or not,
then proceed to the wires leading down to the exit panel, and follow the same process to determine which wires need to
have ferrites applied.
