Self-Install Security System Installation Step 1 Determine security system location The location of the codepad and the wireless motion sensors affects the overall performance of your system. You will need to select the best location for the two sensors and the codepad. This system is intended for indoor use only. Each sensor should be placed in the corner of the room that you wish to have covered. Alternative locations can include above stairwells or other high traffic areas that an intruder will most likely walk through. The codepad should be placed centrally between the two sensors, and needs to be plugged into a power point. Note: You should avoid placing the sensors and codepad close to anything that may interfere with the wireless connection. This includes other metal or wireless devices, air conditioners, computers and modems, circuit breaker boxes, heater ducts, and similar equipment. 8
