Step 1: Creating a Plan for Mounting the System
Before you mount the main panel and peripheral system components, make a plan
for obtaining the most optimal location. Depending on the configuration
requirements, the main panel should typically be:
• Centrally located for minimizing lengthy bus line/expansion module wire runs
• In a location with good GSM reception
• In a secure location that is hidden and not reachable by those for whom use is
unintended (such as small children)
• Near an uninterrupted 230 VAC electrical outlet, an easily-accessible
disconnection device such as a circuit breaker (if permanently connected to the
electrical power supply), grounding connection, and network cable outlet, as
needed
• In a dry place, away from sources of disturbance (including electrical, RF and
heat), and not near large metal objects which may hinder reception
