4.3 Where do I install the ABUS wireless alarm system?
The ABUS wireless alarm system should be installed in your house near an analogue telephone connector and a 230V power
socket – ideally near the centre of the object to ensure good communication with the detectors. You should not install it directly in
the entrance area near the entrance door, where it can easily be tampered with. Use a wireless operating panel here.
Note that the ABUS wireless alarm system must be installed at a minimum distance of 1m to ceilings and floors to guarantee good
radio communication. Furthermore, do not install the ABUS wireless alarm system in a cupboard or drawer since the furniture
materials would weaken radio reception and you would not hear the voice messages of the system.
On the rear of the equipment there are several openings to enable it to be hung on wall screws. Using the fixing materials provided
and a power screwdriver, you can quickly fix the system to the wall. It should be fixed on a flat wall so firmly that the tamper contact
on the rear is completely pressed down. If this is not possible, deactivate this contact.
Make sure that the maximum distance between wireless detectors and the ABUS wireless alarm system does not exceed 30m in
buildings. Note that building materials and other electrical equipment can restrict the radio transmission range. Look out for strongly
reinforced ferro-concrete floors and ceilings (e.g., on the ground floor) or electric under-floor heating systems (Faraday cage).
