8. Planning the installation
a) General notes on planning
First of all, you should use the floor plan of the building that you wish to monitor to make a plan
of which doors, windows, rooms, etc. are to be protected and in which way.
Make a sketch and mark on it the type and position of each sensor. This will also help you to
assess the need for additional sensors.
Give the sensors names. A maximum of 11 characters/letters are available per sensor for later
registration with the alarm base station.
Example:
‘Livingr W1’ for ‘Living room, Window 1’
Also note down any additional information next to the sensor, for example, the type (internal,
external, closure group). This will be a useful aid later when you register the sensors with the
alarm base station.
Advice on positioning the alarm base station and the sensors:
• The alarm base station itself should be installed at a central location in the middle of the
surveillance area, so that all transmission paths are kept short. A suitable location, for ex-
ample, is the hallway of an apartment or house.
Choosing a secured area such as a separately lockable storeroom as the installation location,
is even better.
In any case, the alarm base station must be located in an area which is adequately protected
by alarm sensors, as otherwise an intruder could approach the alarm base station unhindered
and switch it off or destroy it.
•
Several
casements of a window or an entire glass facade can be protected using a
single
door/window detector. It is also possible to connect external sensors to this detector (for
example, magnet sensors, glass break sensors, safety shut-off mats or similar).
• A PIR motion detector recognises movement when an intruder does not enter a house or
apartment through windows or doors, for example, but gains access by another means
(unsecured skylight, cellar window, and so on). Using a PIR motion detector, a room with a
maximum length of up to approximately 10-12m can be protected.
• At least one smoke detector should be installed in every room, depending on the size of the
room and how it is arranged. The installation location of a smoke detector is dependent on
the air circulation in the room (not in the corners of rooms, not behind curtains).
• Do not forget that additions to the building or outbuildings, such as the garage, summer house
or bike shed can also be protected by the alarm system. Thanks to radio transmission and
battery-operated sensors, protection is very simple (sensors must not get wet or damp!).
