Door/Window Contact Detectors – Location
★ Door/ Window Contact Detector is designed to detect a door or window
opening, so it is better mounted onto the frame with a magnet mounted
next to it on the door or window.
★
In most applications one door contact is fitted to the front door and
assigned to ZONE 1 which is the Entry/Exit Zone. When the system is set
at “OUT” mode, Zone 1 allows a 30 second (adjustable) delay for the user
to enter or leave the house, and should be the only zone activated before
reaching the Control Unit on entering the premises. The other contact
detector can be mounted to the back door or window and assigned to Zone
2.
Having chosen the location do not mount at this stage.
External Siren & Strobe – Location
★
Choose a location for the siren, preferably in
a prominent position high
up on an external wall,
taking into account that it must be wired back to
the Control Unit. The cable should ideally run directly from behind the
siren box through the wall to the inside. This is to avoid any cable running
along the exterior wall which could be reached by an intruder.
Having chosen the location do not mount at this stage.
2.2 Planning the location for the system components
Example of a domestic layout
The 2 sample layouts below are intended as guides only but demonstrate two examples of how a
house can be protected with the system.
Sample 1:

Upstairs
The PIRs have been placed one downstairs and the other upstairs to protect both areas. The
Door/Window Contact Detectors have been positioned to protect the front door and back door.
