3. Setup and Installation

3.1 Control Panel Installation

The control panel should be installed in a central location within your premises, preferably near a power outlet and with good WiFi and cellular signal reception. It can be mounted on a wall using screws.

3.2 Sensor Installation

3.2.1 Door/Window Contact Sensors

Install these sensors on doors and windows. Ensure the two parts of the sensor are aligned and within 10mm of each other when the door/window is closed. They are typically installed using screws or adhesive tape.

3.2.2 PIR Motion Sensors

Mount PIR sensors in areas where intruders are likely to pass. Position them to cover the desired detection zone. The W4Q system includes pet-immune motion detectors, designed to ignore pets weighing up to 10kg, reducing false alarms.

3.3 Siren Placement

Place the siren in a location where its 120 dB alarm can be heard effectively, both inside and outside the property, to deter intruders and alert neighbors.

• Home Arm (Stay Arm): Perimeter sensors (e.g., door/window contacts) are active, while internal motion sensors may be bypassed to allow movement within the home.
• Disarm: All sensors are inactive.

4.3 RFID Tag Usage

RFID tags provide a quick and convenient way to arm or disarm the system by simply tapping the tag on the control panel's RFID reader.
