Location planning
Work out the best places to locate the devices for maximum protection. Having chosen the locations
Operating range
All devices must be within 30 metres of the
siren unit and must not be mounted on or near
large metal objects. Avoid obvious sources of
electrical interference such as fridges and
microwave ovens.
Tamper switches
When mounting devices ensure that any
tamper switches close fully. On uneven surfaces
it may be necessary to place packing behind the
switch for reliable operation.
