Mounting the Unit (all models)
Select a suitable position to mount the unit, which satisfies the following criteria:
•
Highly prominent for maximum deterrence
•
Additional shelter (e.g. under the eaves) is an advantage
•
High enough to be out of normal reach to deter tampering
•
Safe ladder access
•
Good cable access
In addition to the two adjustable screw fixing points, the unit also has a central keyhole & spirit level to simplify mounting and aid levelling.
Three screws and wall plugs are required for mounting the backplate to an even surface. An additional screw may be required to adjust the wall
tamper by fitting through the screw hole next to the dual tamper microswitch. In doing so, care must be taken to leave the screw head slightly
proud to ensure that the microswitch remains level and closes correctly when the inner cover is fitted.
For maximum weatherproofing the unit should be flat to the wall.
Spirit Level
All units come with an integral spirit level to aid installation, the spirit level may be mounted vertically or horizontally in the backplate. By default the
level will be mounted horizontally.
Keyhole fixing
Side fixings
The keyhole fixing is accessed
by opening the inner cover as
described in the previous
section.
Make sure to adjust the tamper
screw correctly before fully
tightening this screw.
The two side fixings will lock
into place when the screw is
tightened.
With the unit in place and
hung from the keyhole
fixing, you can drill
anywhere in the open area
to obtain the optimum fixing
point.
