Limitation of Liability
This Product has been designed for use to assist personnel in sum-
moning help when they are under personal duress and/or locate
assets.
The range, accuracy, function and performance of this Product
may vary from the published specifi cations due to many factors,
including, without limitation, site impairments from structural
effects, metal objects in the vicinity, placement of the receiver and
transmitter, interference from other electrical devices, atmospheric
effects, installation, and maintenance. There may be other factors,
which also affect performance of this Product.
Instantel does not guarantee that this Product will detect 100% of
the calls for personal assistance and locate all assets 100% of the time.
Instantel does not guarantee that this Product will not return false
reports of calls for personal assistance and/or location of assets.
Monthly testing and maintenance of this Product, as described in the
Product documentation, is essential to verify the system is operating
correctly and to ensure that the probability of detecting an alarm
and/or locating the transmitter are maximized.
The failure to undertake regular testing and maintenance will increase
the risk of system failure and failure to report personal duress calls
and/or failure to locate assets. The failure to undertake regular test-
ing and maintenance will increase the risk of false reports of calls for
personal assistance and/or location of assets.

DRAFT
Installing the Exciter
• Ensure that the power supply and network are turned
off to prevent electrical shock or damage to equip-
ment.
• Touch your hand to ground to discharge any electro-
static charge before handling the LAR.
The steps below correspond to the numbers in Figure 1.
1 Record the LonWorks ID number.
Locate and record the LonWorks identifi cation number onto
the facility fl oor plan indicating the LAR’s position and network
wiring path. Use the tear-away sticker on the LAR’s Neuron ID
label.
2 Remove the Mounting Plate from the LAR.
If the LAR is to be installed to a receptacle box, pass the network
and power supply wires through the hole in the Mounting Plate.
(For other installations, the wires are passed through the slot on
the side of the LAR case in Step 5.)
3 Wire the terminal block.
Connect the LonWorks Network IN, Network OUT, and
Power Supply to the terminals. If the LAR is at the end of the
network, then terminate the network segment with Item A
(105 Ω terminator). Ensure there is at least 10 ft. (3 m) of slack
in the cable to allow the possible repositioning of the LAR.
4 Install the Mounting Plate.
Referring to the facility fl oor plan, decide the position of the LAR.
Do not place near metal objects and structural frames. Ensure
that the service light will be visible and that space is allowed for
the antennas. Unless there is a conduit tray, run the cables at least
1 ft. (30 cm) up and away from the LAR.
Install the mounting plate using one of the following methods.
A Fasten to a suspended ceiling guy wire, using:
• 1 multi-function Caddy clip
• 2 machine screws
• 2 hex nuts
• 2 lock washers
B Install directly to a ceiling or a wall using:
• 2 wood screws
• 2 hollow wall anchors
C Install to a receptacle box, using:
• 2 machine screws
5 Install the LAR to the Mounting Plate.
Plug the wired terminal block into the LAR and install the LAR
onto the Mounting Plate, using the screw removed in Step 2.
DO NOT place excess network and power supply wires inside
the LAR case.
6Attach the two antennas.
The antennas have a protective covering to prevent them from
touching metal. For best coverage, ensure that they are at least 2
ft. (60 cm) from metal objects. Do not encase, wrap, or otherwise
cover the antennas.
Installation is complete. Proceed to Final Steps below.
Figure 1: Physical connections for the LAR.
Installing the LAR
Installation Considerations
• Position the LAR beneath ceiling obstructions—When
mounting above drop ceilings, mount the LAR below metal duct
work, pipes and foil-backed ceiling tiles.
• Route cables up and away from the LAR—When the cable is
not in conduit, keep it at least 1 ft. (30 cm) from the LAR.
• Install the LAR temporarily until testing is complete—Fasten-
ings should be secure enough that the LAR can be permanently
mounted without disturbing its orientation.
• Point the secondary antenna into a clear area, away from
metal objects—The main antenna always points downwards,
but the orientation of the secondary antenna is adjusted to suit
site conditions. Point it away from metal objects, and make sure
it is not running parallel to cabling in the ceiling.
• Observe temperature and humidity restrictions—Refer to the
Specifi cations table.
• Leave slack in the cable—Leave at least 10 ft. (3 m) of slack in
the communication and power cable to allow for adjustments in
the location of the LAR.
• No user adjustments to internal circuitry—Tampering may
cause component or system failure, or both, and will void the
warranty.
Final Steps
Do not supply power to the LAR or any other network
device until all connections are complete.
Once all devices are installed, power up the LAR and other devices.
In the Xmark™ software, run Auto Confi gure to install the new
devices, and then confi gure them for operation.
The coverage area of the LAR must also be checked.
Refer to the Hugs Installation Manual (p/n 805I0301) or MyCall/
FindIt Installation Manual (p/n 805I0401) for detailed informa-
tion on how to complete these steps.
