2.4. The Detector
Firstly, the mounting bracket must be fixed to the wall using the self-tapping
screw and other accessories supplied. Mounting must be at a minimum
height
of 1.2 metres and maximum of 2.1 metres (lower is better).
Drill a 5mm diameter hole (at least 30mm deep)
into the gyprock for mounting the detector
bracket/socket base. Push the wall plug into the
hole then screw in the mounting bracket. It will clip
into the base. The detector can now be slid onto
the swivel bracket. See diagram below.

2.4.1. Tips for positioning

This detector utilises the very latest in detection processing technology to
reduce the possibility of false alarms. However, correct mounting of the
detector is critical to ensure best detection or "catch" performance. You
cannot just screw the detector directly to a wall up high in a corner and
expect best performance. Thoroughly test each detector, and if detection is
not acceptable in the location you have chosen, adjust the angle of the
detector slightly & re-test. You will find that a slight up/down angle change
may improve catch performance significantly.
