3. Mounting the Devices
NOTICE:
Before mounting the devices, please complete your registration at the Blaupunkt Home Connect Server
(
https://eu.bphomeconnect.com/
). The Quick Start Guide will help you.
3.1 General Advice for Mounting the Devices
Avoid mounting the Control Panel and Accessory Devices close to large metal objects or electrical interference
sources, such as fridges and microwave ovens, as they could affect the signal strength. Wall material also plays
a great role in signal penetration efficiency, for example, a brick wall will reduce the signal strength a lot more
than a wooden wall.
For devices that have a tamper protection function, mount them on even surfaces to ensure the tamper protec-
tion is fully pushed in when mounted. For uneven surfaces, use suitable material in order to stabilize the device.
3.2. Before mounting: Signal Range-Test (Walk-Test)
All Q-Series accessory devices use a wireless radio protocol to communicate with the Control Panel in a safe
way. This also spares you the extra labour of wiring devices. All devices in the alarm system have an approximate
range of
30 meters
in a typical domestic environment. The signal range may vary depending on environmen-
tal conditions. Before installing an accessory device, you should therefore test its signal range at the selected
mounting location first. To test the signal range, use the Walk-Test function of the Blaupunkt Home Connection
Server, then press the device’s test button to transmit the testing signal. Please refer to chapter 4.7.1. for more
information.
3.3. Tamper Protection
Your intrusion protection sensors (e. g. PIR Sensors and Door Contacts) are protected against sabotage attempts
by a “tamper switch,” which is triggered when the device cover is opened or the device is removed. If the tamper
switch is triggered, the sensor will transmit a signal to the Control Panel which will, in turn, notify the user that
the sensor may be either installed incorrectly or has been sabotaged. In order to assure that the tamper switch
works properly, please make sure that the switch is fully depressed when installing your accessory devices.
