4. Setup and Installation
The AGSHOME alarm system is designed for quick and easy installation without requiring technical expertise.
4.1 Base Station Placement and Power
- Choose a central location for the base station to ensure optimal wireless coverage for all sensors.
- Plug the power adapter into the base station and then into a standard wall outlet. The base station requires a continuous power supply for normal operation.
- Ensure your Wi-Fi network is 2.4GHz. The system does not support 5GHz Wi-Fi.
4.2 Sensor Installation (Door/Window Sensors)
The door/window sensors consist of two parts: a main unit (host) and a magnetic strip.
- Identify the main unit and the magnetic strip.
- Mount the main unit on the door or window frame and the magnetic strip on the moving part (door or window) itself.
- Ensure the two parts are aligned and placed within 10mm of each other when the door/window is closed.
- Use the provided adhesive tape or screws for secure mounting.
