WHEN APPEARANCE IS PARAMOUNT
APPLICATION
INSTALLATION
When adding a security system to an existing residence, the appearance of the
system is often paramount in the mind of the homeowner. The homeowner will be
concerned with sensor placement, the location of wires, location of the control
panel, and how holes are drilled through existing walls.
A unit that mounts close to the ceiling and in a corner is the least noticeable. It is
also the most effective because it allows you to use a standard 90° lens, which
gives you entire room coverage.
• Choose a corner that is adjacent to the room’s entrance to get the best line of
sight for the sensor. This is also the least obtrusive location.
• Using the 6351 Sharpshooter DL, you will be able to mount as close to the
ceiling as possible, making the unit even less noticeable. Pulling wires through
the ceiling can be much easier and quicker than pulling them through walls.
• Using the foam spacer, mount the bracket to the wall and connect the wires to
the unit’s terminal block (see illustration). Then snap the cover in place.
• Most rooms need only one-zone sensitivity. If the room is subject to
temperature fluctuations or other instability, adjust the unit for two-zone
sensitivity.
• The DL incorporates an adjustable circuit board that allows you to mount flush
to ceiling from 7' to 11' high.
• Walk-test the unit to ensure correct operation.
