2. CHOOSING THE INSTALLATION LOCATION
To ensure the best mounting location for the PowerMaster-33 control panel, the following points should be observed
when selecting a location:
•
Place approximately in the center of the installation site between all the transmitters, preferably in a hidden
location.
•
Place in close proximity to an AC source.
•
Place in close proximity to a telephone line connection when a PSTN is used.
•
Place in close proximity to a home router wired Ethernet connection when an Ethernet network is used.
•
Ensure that there is good cellular coverage, when a Cellular Module is used.
•
Place far from sources of wireless interference, such as:
o
Computers or other electronic devices, power conductors, cordless phones, light dimmers, etc.
o
Large metal objects such as metal doors or refrigerators.
Note: A distance of at least 1 meter (3 ft.) is recommended.
When mounting wireless devices,
take note of the following:
•
Make sure that the signal reception level for each device is either
Strong
or
Good
, but not
Poor
. If the reception of
the cellular module is poor, use an external cellular antenna.
•
Wireless magnetic contacts should be installed in a vertical position and as high up the door or window as possible.
•
Wireless PIR detectors should be installed upright at the height specified in the associated Installation Instructions.
•
Repeaters should be located high on the wall in mid-distance between the transmitters and the control panel.
WARNING! To comply with FCC and IC RF exposure compliance requirements, the control panel should be located at
a distance of at least 20 cm from all persons during normal operation. The antennas used for this product must not be
co-located or operated in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.

Note: The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive RENs on a telephone line
may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0).
To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total RENs, contact the local telephone
company.
Connection to telephone company provided coin service is prohibited. Connection to party lines service is subject to state tariffs.
The installer should verify line seizure. Be aware of other phone line services such as DSL. If DSL service is present on the
phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to use the DSL alarm filter model Z-A431PJ31X manufactured by
Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows alarm reporting without
breaking the internet connection.
