CONTROL PANEL Superior Security and Automation start here. The touch-screen Control Panel serves as the nerve center for your system. It’s a powerful device, but setting it up is simple, so let’s get started. Note: For GC3 control panel instructions, please go to https://www.linkinteractive.com/installation-guide/ PLACE: Place your TouchScreen Control Panel on a counter, tabletop or shelf in a central location in your home.
TIPS Here are some important sensor setup guidelines to help your system perform best. PLACEMENT DISTANCE All sensors should be placed within 80 feet of the control panel. WHERE NOT TO PLACE Sensors are not weatherproof, and should be kept indoors. Avoid placing in high-humidity areas. PREP THE SURFACE Before mounting any sensors using the included adhesive, make sure the surface to which you are adhering the sensor is clean and dry.
DOOR & WINDOW SENSOR The Door and Window Sensor has two pieces: a magnet (smaller piece) and a transmitter (larger piece). Together, they detect the opening of just about anything–doors, windows, drawers, cabinets and more. Magnet Transmitter Regardless of where you are placing them, ensure that the arrows on the magnet are aligned correctly with the alignment marks on the transmitter as pictured at right, no more than a pen width apart. Magnet 4 NEXT UP Let’s start by placing your first sensor.
DOOR SENSOR PLACEMENT The doors on the ground floor of your home are the most common entry points, so it makes sense to start there. Check the packing slip for the name you selected at the time of purchase that corresponds with the placement of each door sensor. Then remove the sensor from the box and go to the installation location. Preferred Install or Optional Install STANDARD DOOR PLACEMENT Before you place your sensor, take a look at your door.
WINDOW SENSOR PLACEMENT Placing sensors on your windows is quite similar to placing them on your doors. Again, it’s important to ensure that you properly align the pieces and position them no more than a pen’s width apart. Check the packing slip for the name you selected at the time of purchase that corresponds with the placement of each sensor. Then remove the sensor from the box and go to the installation location. STANDARD WINDOW PLACEMENT Before you place your sensor, examine your windows.
MOTION SENSOR The Motion Sensor detects movement across a room or hallway, and should be used to secure larger, high-traffic areas. The Motion Sensor has a detection range of 90 degrees, and detects motion up to 30’ x 50’ away. MOTION SENSOR PLACEMENT Step 1 Determine where you want to mount your Motion Sensor. Use the included wall mounts to secure it flat against the wall or in a corner, or you can place it directly on a shelf.
MOTION SENSOR PLACEMENT Step 2 Install the wall mount so its center is placed 7.5 to 8 feet above floor level. Step 3 Place the back cover onto the Motion Sensor and secure it with the included screw (fig 1). Then extend the arm until it points straight out. Slide the Motion Sensor onto the wall mount (fig 2). You may have to adjust the arm based on preferences. Once the unit is mounted, walk through the sensor’s coverage area and listen for the sensor name to be announced at the panel.
GLASS BREAK SENSOR * * Use your Glass Break Sensor to secure any room with one or more windows. PLACE: Place the Glass Break Sensor between 4 and 15 feet from the window or windows you wish to protect. You can mount it to a wall or ceiling or set it on a shelf. STEP 1 Hold detector upside down and twist base counterclockwise to remove from back plate. STEP 2 Place back plate on wall opposite or adjacent to window. Affix back plate to desired location with supplied 3 long mounting screws and anchors.
SMOKE/HEAT/FREEZE SENSOR The Smoke/Heat/Freeze Sensor detects smoke or rapid changes in temperature in your home. Like all of our life safety and environmental sensors, your Smoke/Heat/Freeze Sensor is always monitored, even when your system is disarmed. 1 2 fig 1 PLACE: For maximum coverage, place your Smoke/Heat/Freeze Sensor on the ceiling or wall of a common hallway shared by multiple bedrooms or a central room in the home.
DISASTER SENSOR The Disaster Sensor detects flood, heat and freeze all in one device. This sensor is always monitored to alert you of these conditions even when the system is disarmed. PLACE: Place the Disaster Sensor in a flood-prone area such as a basement or near appliances such as a washing machine, water heater, furnace or sump pump. Step 1 Remove the adhesive from the back of the sensor.
KEY RING REMOTE The Key Ring Remote allows you to arm or disarm your system from anywhere within 80 feet of the panel. To arm your system in Away mode, press and hold for 3 seconds To disarm your system, press and hold for 3 seconds To arm your system in Stay mode, press and hold for 3 seconds To trigger the panic alarm, press down the top two buttons for 3 seconds PLACE: Keep your Key Ring Remote close by you on a keychain, in a pocket or in a purse.
