•
Mount the detector on a stable surface up to 25 ft. (7.6 m)
from the farthest point on the glass surface.
•
Avoid locations that expose the detector to possible false
alarm sources such as:
•
Glass airlocks and vestibule areas
• Kitchens
•
Residential car garages
•
Small utility rooms
• Stairwells
• Bathrooms
•
Small acoustically live rooms
• Air
vents
Multiple window coverage
The detector has a 360 degree coverage pattern that can be
used to cover several windows in a single room. To use this
coverage pattern, do the following:
1. Draw an imaginary line from the center of each window to
be covered in toward the center of the room.
2. Mount the detector on the ceiling as close as possible to
where the lines intersect (Figure 3 below).

Do not mount the detector at more than a 60 degree angle
from the center of any window to be protected.
Installation
All wiring must conform to the National Electric Code (NEC)
and/or local codes having jurisdiction.
Caution:
If you are unsure about location, connect a 9V
battery to the detector and test it before permanently mounting
the detector.
To install the detector, do the following:
1. Run the security system wiring to the detector location.
2. Remove the front cover of the detector as follows:
Round housing

4. Remove the appropriate wiring and mounting knockout
holes from the base. See Figure 5 above for rectangle
housings and round housings.
5. Pull the wires through the knockout holes and use two
screws to attach the base to the surface. Use wall anchors
if necessary.
6. Strip 3/8 in. of insulation from each wire.
