2. Installation
2.1. Planning the Installation
Each separate component of the
Watchguard Sentinel Home Alarm System
should be placed in strategic locations. Below is a guide to where you should
place the main unit and the detectors.
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 Sentinel
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 2.3)
