When you are ready, your alarm system layout design for the installation, you must first decide where to mount the alarm control. If you have an unfinished basement, you will be to drill down and run the cable into the rafters to the area and is for the panel. Most often this is the mechanical or boiler room is.
If you are on a one-story house, you will run the cable up in the attic and an unfinished
Drop your wires to theControl.
If you are in a commercial application that you run your wires on the suspended ceiling or along beams or may be suspended by Conduit.
If you're in a place where there is no place to run all those wires and hide them, then you're an ideal candidate for a wireless system.
You want to make sure that wherever you decide to mount the base unit that you have a device, such as to protect a motion detector or door contact. Leaving the control panel in aunprotected area could handle it easily in the event of a break in. Look at the wires running through the basement, and when they jump up to a closet in the protected area of the house. If you are wondering, "what is not on the bare wires in the basement?." Cut the wires would open the device they run, duplicate, and would cause an alarm when the system was armed.
If you go to vote on your system of choice for wireless, select a centralOut in the home or business, that a strong radio signal received from all points of protection. Remember that even on wireless system, there are some wires must be run. Mostly they are the keyboard, the siren, power supply and telephone line. Take this is taken into account when choosing your central location.
Type lighting for the selected area, as this will be where you do most of your installation to work. Place a tarp and place for all products andTools and a trash bag in this area. I have learned over the years, come to my location, to get what I need, and back, which I do not use, am back to this place when I'm done with them, especially tools. If you are not an organized the installation of your time ½ search spend for a tool that is part of wire coil, etc. A tool belt is practical for the tools you need anywhere, such as fresh drill, tape, wire cutter, screwdriver, B-compound, a small bubbleLevel, stud finder, a clean cloth, etc.
You'll also find out how you'll go. When you finish running each wire and the installation of the device, it will go, take the time to clean up and bring all trash to the bag to your control area. Being anal is a good thing if you do a quality installation.
As each wire into the control room, where the measure has come to the wire into the control panel hole, and then run about a foot of wire before cutting it fit with your diagonalCutter. Place a piece of bright tape on the wire about 5 cm from the end and write on the tape with a Sharpie indelible marker, or where it goes.
If your home or business is under construction, you can pre-wire it to choose for safety. Pre-wiring is in the ability to get every device in the exact situation, you would want to be an advantage. Wires and placement of gear boxes is completed before the building is dependent on your ability to read architectural plans andUnderstand where cabinets, appliances and electrical devices to be placed with accuracy. If you pre-wire you must elect your own holes in the wall studs and rafters. Many technicians a bad alarm will think through the electrical and plumbing holes and they are easy to do to get away. The problem is that if you are an electrician or plumber no inspection they must be made of cable-and pipe in order to shift the auditor with the specifications. You are probably not affectedAbout your wire if they do so.
The best time to get your wires on a Pre-Wire immediately after the electrician and left to go before the insulators.
If you start running wires, we start with the front door. If you are in the basement where you will go active low on the opening of the door. If you are using your cable to work until you reach the top of the door. Lets use that for our example. What kind of contact will be with you? Surface Mountor sunk? If you are wires anyway, why not take the time to install recessed contacts so that they are from the site when the door is closed? Align your drill with a 3/8-inch standard length drill.
In the jam of the door, about 4 cm from the bottom to start drilling at an angle towards the basement. Go to your 3/8- inch 12 to 18 centimeters long drill and drill in the direction of the basement, finally, to your 5-foot long bell hanger bit and switchDrilling continues until you pop into the cellar. Pull out the long bit from the hole and remove it from the hole. Poke the thin end of the long bit in the hole.
Go to the basement with a flashlight, diagonal wire cutters, tape, markers, stapler with staples, and a coil or box of 22 gauge 2 conductor wire. Strip the plastic off the end of your wire about 2 cm. Turn the two wires together and thread it through the hole at the end of the lean side of the long bitand they turn around. Go back upstairs and pull the wire up to the hole. Tie a large loose and temporary knots in the wire after you get it there, so they do not fall into the hole. Leave at least 12 inches to the top, allowing you to work with the wire.
Go to roll back down and begins enough wire to it to your Control Panel. Staple the wires with an industrial stapler like a T22 along the beam in a clean and orderly manner from the drop hole for the controlPanel. Be sure you do not permeate the wire with every basic food, if you do it now remove and re-attach. These errors are hard to follow after you walk away. Make sure to put it down to the wall stud where you put high on the back of the Control Panel (such as breast) and leave an extra foot or more of the wire before cutting it from the coil. Check your cable to the tape and marker several inches from the end.
Congratulations, you have your first run. Make sure to collect and toReturn all instruments to the starting point, so you know where they are when you need them.
Get your 8.3-inch chassis and magnet. You need a drill, extension cord (unless you use a wireless drill), electrical tape, wire and a cutter. Split end you wire and tape a small amount of plastic covering away from each end. Do the same with your contact details if you need to be clamped type, the little screws for the wires below. Twist each end of the wire to one end of theContact wire and tape down individually. After all a piece of tape firmly around the whole thing can handle. (It does not matter which wire on the ladder, as this is a circuit wire, and has no positive or negative side.) Carefully insert the wire into the hole and press the contact in. Now mark the door into the place is that the magnet is the contact when the door is closed just. to stabilize the door and drill a 3 / 8 "hole just deep enough to put the magnet on Repeatcontacted for each door you want. We always recommend that you contact each door perimeter.
