Base Installation Instructions

Model S30

The LifeShield Base is an integrated, all wireless security system for residential installations.

The Base is the heart of the security system, processing events from sensors, monitoring events

for alarm conditions, and reporting events to the monitoring center and/or your phone.

The Base is entirely controlled from mobile apps, the LifeView website, or via a wireless keypad

or wireless keychain remote. The Base does not have a built in keypad or display. This gives you

great flexibility on locating the Base within your home. While many security system must be

located by the front door (because the keypad is integrated), you are free to locate the Base in a

more convenient location or one that you feel is more protected from intruders.

Selecting an Installation Location

Please consider the following when deciding where to locate the Base:

- The Base will require AC power, therefore an outlet should be available within 6 feet and

should be easily accessible. The outlet must not be controlled by a switch, and must

provide continuous power.

- The Base receives all sensor events wirelessly; therefore a more central location is

preferred in your home (depending on size). If you locate the Base is a far corner of the

house, it may not be able to receive signals from the opposite side of your home. You can

locate the Base in a 1

or 2

floor room. In general, basement locations are not as good

for wireless coverage.

- The Base must communicate to LifeShield using an Ethernet cable, Wi-Fi, or 3G cellular

service (or a combination). If you do not plan on connecting the Base directly to your

router with an Ethernet cable, then the Base must have a good Wi-Fi signal to your

router. Please see the notes below on Wi-Fi signal coverage in a home.

- If you intend to use the 3G cellular capability of the Base, the Base will need to receive a

cellular signal. In most parts of the country, AT&T is the preferred carrier for the 3G

cellular signal. The Base includes an internal cellular antenna. However, if the signal is

not good, an external antenna can be connected.

- The Base includes a loud piezo siren. You should decide on whether you want this to be

your primary siren, or whether you plan to use an auxiliary siren. If this is your primary

siren, you will want to make sure the Base is located in a place where you can hear the

siren.

- The Base should not be mounted in location subject to temperatures over 122F (50C) or below 32F (0C) for any extended period of time. This will degrade the battery life. Mounting the Base The Base may be placed horizontal on a shelf or a table top. The Base includes a non-skid bottom that helps prevent the Base from moving due to the weight of cables. If you choose, the Base also includes a slot compatible with keyed laptop locks (Kensington is one example brand that makes these locks).
