The Wireless Alarm System is a convenient, cost-effective and easy to install security
system for your home or small business. Combining multiple types of sensors, dual
alarm zones and the convenience of wireless technology, Swann’s Wireless Alarm
Kit offers flexible solutions for almost any kind of environment.
Throughout this instructional manual, we’ll be referring to the building in which
the alarm is installed as the “house” or “home”. This is not to say that the Wireless
Alarm System cannot be installed in a business, office, warehouse or wherever you
desire – however, we do anticipate that home security is the most practicable use
for the Wireless Alarm System, and this manual is written from that viewpoint.
The methodology for installing the alarm system in another type of environment
is practically identical.
Placement the Wireless Control Panel and Sensors:
Before attempting to install the Wireless Alarm Kit, it’s worth taking the time to
really think about and plan the best locations in your home to place your sensors
and Wireless Control Panel.
When it comes to placing the sensors, there are two conflicting needs to consider.
On the one hand, it’s important for the sensors to cover the areas most vulnerable
to intrusion, and it shouldn’t be too easy for an intruder to access the sensors and
physically damage them.
The Wireless Control Panel needs to be located somewhere close enough to an
entrance/exit that you can get to it relatively quickly – this is important when
arming the system before leaving the house, or disarming it when returning home
but you don’t have the remote control. You don’t want too many false alarms
caused by not disarming the system in time, and when they occur, you want either
the remote or Wireless Control Panel easily accessible to stop it before it wakes the
neighbourhood!
Installing the Wireless Control Panel:
Remember that, unlike the sensors,
the Wireless Control Panel needs to be
connected to power
using the supplied 9V power adaptor.
