SYSTEM LOCATION
✎ NOTE: Wireless sensor signals must be able to
reach the Control Panel.
✔ Try to centrally locate the Control Panel.
✔ Keep Control Panel away from large metal
appliances.
✔ Maximum recommended sensor range is 400
feet (system tested at 1000 feet).
✎ NOTE: If you don't use the wireless keypad, a
hardwired keypad should be easily accessible to
the usual entrance.
✔ When the Control Panel is set in the Away
Mode, the user has 30 seconds to switch to
Off Mode before the burglary siren sounds.
✎ NOTE: Make sure a hardwired keypad is in a place
where the alarm can be heard during the night hours.
✔ Optional remote external sirens (up to 150
feet from the Control Panel) can be used to
make alarms louder and remote the sound
location.
1. Locate the Control Panel near a 115 VAC outlet
that's not controlled by a light switch.
2. Locate the Control Panel near a telephone outlet
(if using the digital communicator).
WALL MOUNTING
1. Use the Control Panel's case bottom as a
template and mark the locations for the four
mounting screws.
2. Mark the wiring access slot if the wiring is being
routed from behind the cabinet.
3. Use a hole saw to cut out the location for the
wiring access slot (if used) or punch out selected
cabinet wiring knockouts for conduit wiring.
4. Use four screws and appropriate screw anchors
to mount the unit to the wall.
EXTERNAL ANTENNA
✦ Linear's Model LA-P antenna kit can be used
