Mount the detector on your wall using the swivel mount provided at a
minimum height of 1.2 metres and maximum of 2.1 metres (lower is better).
Make sure the detector is a minimum of 5 metres away from your main unit
so it doesn’t swamp the receiver with a signal that is too strong to decode.
•
Always mount your detector so that an intruder has to walk across its zone,
i.e. walk past the detector, not towards it.
•
DON’T
mount detector facing glass doors or windows. Always mount above
windows and doors to look inside.
•
DON’T
mount detector facing hot areas or areas where the temperature
may change suddenly, e.g. open fire places, direct sunlight or air
conditioning vents.
•
Select a location where the detector can provide the best detecting range.
Always ensure that you do not cover an area with multiple detectors, so as
to avoid simultaneous transmission back to the receiver in your
Watchguard
Sentinel Home Alarm System
. The receiver can only decode one coded
signal at any given time.
•
If the detector is mounted close to metal frames or doors, this may reduce
the radio transmitting range.
•
The detector is not waterproof and is designed for indoor use only.
