Skylink SC-100 - Manual (Page 5)

The Control Panel, door/window sensors and the motion sensor are installed
using the screws included. We have also included double sided tape, (for the
door/window sensor and the motion sensor) to use for temporary installation
while you are positioning the sensors. Once all the sensors are positioned
correctly, install them permanently with the screws. We have also included wall
anchors and templates to help position the screws correctly.
How to use the templates:
1. Cut the template required.
2. Tape it in position.
3. Screw part way into the surface where the holes are marked.
4. Unscrew the screws and remove the template.
5. Screw the component in place where you started the screws.
INSTALLING THE CONTROL PANEL (SC-001)
Position the Control Panel near the door you use to enter/exit from most often
and within access of an electrical outlet. The Control Panel runs on regular elec-
trical current. It also contains a 9 volt backup alkaline battery in case power is
interrupted for any reason.
There are 3 ways to attach the Control Panel on the wall:
1. Use double sided tape for temporary use.
2. Hanging it from the two keyholes on the two stationary screws.
3. Screwing the back onto the wall with 4 screws.
To mount the Control Panel:
1. Open the case.
a) Press the two tabs on top of the
Control Panel
b) Pull open the front
2. Thread the AC adapter cord through
the large hole in the back of the unit
and plug it into the circuit board as
shown. The Adapter cord must be
inserted through the back of the
unit before it is attached to the
wall.
3. Insert the 9 volt alkaline battery and
rotate the antenna from the inside of
the Control Panel to the outside.

PLANNING YOUR HOME SECURITY NEEDS
Before you begin to install your security system, analyze the premises to deter-
mine your security needs. Consider those doors and windows which are more
likely to be used as points of entry by an intruder, the ones that are poorly lit or
the entrances that can not be seen from the street.
Sketch a map of the premises and determine which doors and/or windows need
contact sensors and which areas of the premises need to be monitored by a
motion sensor. We recommend that you put one door/window sensor on the door
you enter/exit from most often, the other sensor on your secondary entrance and
your motion sensor monitoring the bedrooms, (stairway or hallway leading to the
bedrooms).
If you have determined that you need additional sensors, see Additional Accessories
on page 27.
Below is an example of how to position your security system in a house.
You may choose to install a motion sensor to protect any valuables such as
antiques or paintings. Point the motion sensor directly at the valuables and if
they are disturbed in any way the alarm will be sounded.
