1.2.2 Create an
Installation
Plan
Draw a rough sketch of the building. Find good locations for the NT9010 control
unit and all the detectors. Here are some guidelines for choosing good mounting
locations.
Choosing a NT9010 Mounting Location
Before you mount the NT9010, you should find a place that is:
•Dry
• Far from sources of interference, including:
■
electrical noise such as computers, televisions and electric motors in appli-
ances and heating and air conditioning units.
■
large metal objects like heating ducts and plumbing which may shield the
antenna.
Choosing Mounting Locations for Wireless Devices
Each type of wireless device has its own set of guidelines for mounting locations.
Before deciding on mounting locations, make sure that you review the guidelines in
the Installation Instructions that come with each device.
1.2.3 Prepare the
Mounting
Location
Once you have selected a suitable place for the NT9010 control unit, make sure
that you will be able to connect the AC power and the telephone line to the
NT9010. If necessary, have an electrician route AC wiring to the mounting location,
and have a telephone installer route the incoming telephone line to the mounting
location.

Mounting the NT9010 Backplate
The NT9010 backplate is the blue-grey piece of plastic that comes attached to the
