10 ZeroWire Installation Manual
• If you have a double-storey property, it is suggested the ZeroWire unit be installed on
the highest level for the best signal strength.
• ZeroWire installed below ground level (e.g. basement) may have reduced range.
• Movement / Passive Infra-Red (PIR) sensors should be installed to look over the
partition you want to protect. The path of an intruder should walk across the front of the
PIR. A PIR is less sensitive to an intruder walking directly towards it. Avoid pointing the
PIR at windows or heat sources as these may cause the PIR to operate incorrectly.
• Reed switches should be installed across doors/windows where two surfaces open and
close. Place the sensor on the frame and the magnet on the door/window. Take care to
close the door / window and note any gap between the magnet and the sensor. If the
gap is large the sensor will always be in an open state and prevent you from arming /
disarming the system. A plastic spacer can be used to ensure the reed switch seals
correctly.
4. Use Menu 4 – 4 to test sensor signal level.
If signal is low, then move sensor to another location. Alternatively move your ZeroWire to
a more central location.
