PLANNING YOUR SECURITY SYSTEM
Before you set up your system, draw a
security plan of your home. This is es-
pecially important if you install sensor
transmitters to protect several different
zones.
If you live in an upstairs apartment, the
front door might be the best place to
mount a door/window sensor transmit-
ter. If you live in a house or downstairs
apartment, you might want to cover a
back door or window.
Your security system has three goals:
• To prevent loss by discouraging
potential intruders.
• To scare intruders away before
they can take your property or
break into your home.
• To alert ORCA that someone is
breaking into your home.
To help accomplish these goals, you
should:
• Post decals on doors and win-
dows stating that your home is
protected by a security system.
Monitored Alarm decals are
included with your system. Addi-
tional decals (Cat. No. 49-507) are
available at your local Radio
Shack store.
• Choose a location for the console
where it is not easily accessible or
seen by intruders.
In addition, most police departments
offer information that might be helpful.
After making a preliminary plan, con-
tact your local police department to
see if they offer guidelines or other ser-
vices for planning a home security sys-
tem.
