5 Selecting mounting location
The installation of the SIM-120 requires straight and solid base for the detector and setting of
front panel against the center of protected area.
The protected area must be free from obstacles like walls, fences, trees, ditches and other
microwave detectors, as well as systems of anti-intrusion surveillance.
The bracket provides SIM-120 installation on a wall or pole. The wall or pole should be leveled.
Choose a location most likely to intercept an intruder according to detection pattern on page 6.
Avoid the following Installation Locations:
Facing direct sunlight.
Facing areas subject to rapid temperature changes.
Wall angle of more than 10º from perpendicular line.
Mounting at more than 10º Deviation from horizontal line.
Facing metal doors.
Do not install near direct source of heat or air gust.
Clear all physical obstacles from the detection area
(e.g. Plants, laundries, etc.)
Clear all light reflecting surfaces from the detection area,
as well as water puddles.
Avoid installation on the following types of ground:
Thick vegetation, Grass (un-mown), Water, Sand and Metal.
NOTE:
Recommended installation height is 4 ft (1.2m).
The SIM-120 performs best when provided with a constant and stable environment.
In order to ensure suitable operation of the SIM-120 type of ground should be one of the
following: Asphalt concrete, Cement, Soil, Clay, Gravel or Grass (mown).
