Step 2: Install the Main Control Unit
The Main Control Unit requires both AC power and a phone line to be plugged
in. Therefore, it should be located as close as possible to a power and phone
outlet and preferably mounted out of sight. For maximum wireless range,
mount the unit at a height of 1.5m or greater from the floor, and ensure there
are no metal objects directly adjacent to the antenna.
Once installed, the antenna on the back of the main control unit must be
straightened so that it is vertical.
Note: Make the antenna as straight as
possible, as even the smallest bends reduce the wireless range by up to
10 times. DO NOT ever attempt to shorten or lengthen the antenna.
The Valet Digital has been designed with most single & two storey residential
/ business premises in mind. In some instances however, (due to the
construction of the building) range may be diminished, and this may require
you to locate either the main control unit, the external siren, or the alarm
detector closer to one another to achieve reliable performance.
Installing the Main Control Unit
1. Drill mounting holes (7mm
Diameter) into the chosen location
(preferably 1.5m or greater from
the floor).
2. Push the supplied wall plugs into
the holes then mount the unit on
the wall using the supplied
screws.
3. Plug the power adapter (with the
right angle plug) into your power
point (leaving it switched off), and
connect the right angle plug into
the Main Control Unit.
4. Connect your phone line via the
line socket using the lead
provided. If using a regular phone
from the same wall socket,
connect it to the phone socket.
5. Turn the powerpoint on where the
power adapter is connected.
6.
Turn the master keyswitch on the
main control unit to the on
position.
