Position Your Wireless Detection Unit
Positioning the Wireless Detection Unit
Place the WDU in a corner, aimed in the
direction a burglar would have to pass to enter
areas of your home or business. Optimum
height for the WDU is 4-6 feet. Typically,
higher placement of the WDU increases range
and distance. Obstructions such as furniture,
columns or narrow corridors can impair the
range of detection. Place an additional WDU
in a master bedroom, as burglars tend to
frequent this room.
You can check the area of coverage by
watching the red light in the motion sensor
window, which will flash on and off as you
move.
Adjust the location and position of the WDU to
obtain the best coverage. Avoid aiming motion
sensors directly at heating or air conditioning
registers or large panes of non-draped glass.
Large glass areas that receive direct sunlight
can trigger an alarm condition. Do not arm the
System when it is placed in a room with
windows left open. Motions sensors do not
see through glass so if windows are closed
the System will not be disturbed by outside
activities, such as pets, and gardeners.
Pet Owners: Please refer to page 18 "Using
LaserShield
®
with Pets".
Plug MAU into Power
Plug the AC Power Adapter (supplied) into the
wall and insert the DC connector into the
power jack located on the back of the Master
Alarm Unit.
Push and hold the Power Button on the MAU
until the voice says "LaserShield on."
Setting up the Wireless Detection Unit
(WDU)
The WDUs communicate wirelessly with the
Master Alarm Unit. They require only an AC
Power connection (supplied). They do not
require a telephone connection. WDUs can be
placed on nightstands, tables, bookshelves or
anywhere you have a convenient non-
switched power receptacle. All WDUs offer the
best coverage pattern when placed in a
corner of a room.
Note:
The annunciator may refer to the WDUs
as "satellite units."
The Wireless Detection Unit features include:
Motion Sensor
Bypass Button to deactivate an individual unit
Panic Button
Battery Back-up
Activating your Wireless Detection Unit
Plug unit into a non-switched power
receptacle.
Press the power button until the red power
light goes on and remains on.
Follow instructions linking your WDU in
the "Using Learn Mode to Link Devices" on
page 13.
