Installation guide 

Unpacking 

Inspect the 

transport box

 for possible damage as it arrives. Immediately 

inform the transport company in case of damage, otherwise she may not 

accept any responsibility. Keep the transport box as it is designed for 
optimum protection during transport and it may be needed again. Carefully 
unpack the system and inspect it for completeness and for possible damage. 
Contact your supplier in case of damage or if not all marked items on the 
checklist are included. 
Prior to shipment, your detector has been thoroughly inspected and tested to 
meet the highest possible demands. The results of all tests are included.  

Installation 

To unpack the DECADE II, lift it from its box by both hands (Fig. 1). 

Never lift 

the DECADE II at its front door

, but at its sides. 

 

 

Fig. 1. Lift instructions DECADE II. 

Install the detector in an area which meets the environmental conditions 
listed below:
