2. Installation
2.1. Planning the Installation
Each separate component of the
Watchguard Home Alarm System
should be placed in
strategic locations. Below is a guide to where you should place the main unit, the
detectors and the screamer.
It is important that you take into account that the maximum range without any
obstructions between the main unit and each detector is no further than 50 metres.
Typically the range inside your house will be around 20-50 metres depending on the
construction of the house.
Planning and Wire Routing
1-
The
Watchguard
main unit should
be located high on the front or front
side of the building under an eave
of covering.
(See Section 2.2)
2-
Route the white-white/black wire
(2 core-figure 8 cable) from the
main unit through the ceiling to
connect with the plug pack
connector. Another suitable
location for the power supply is on
an available power point at the rear
of the fridge in the kitchen.
(See
Section 2.4)
3-
Route the red-red/black wire (2
core-figure 8 cable) from the main
unit through the ceiling to connect
with the screamer connector.

Section 2.3)
