Accountability
Attitude
Customer Contact
You are the official representative of AT&T and your dealership.
Every claim a customer makes and every promise you make to the
customer determines your accountability.
Take pride in every installation and service call. You want your
customer to feel
confident that you are helpful, willing
and truly
care about the safety of their home and family.
No doubt in your own eyes, and the eyes of your dealership, you
are a professional. Keep in mind though, that to the homeowner
you may be perceived as a stranger and a guest in their home.
Customers who care enough to invest in a home security system
are naturally concerned about having strangers in their house. It is
important for you to establish a positive, comfortable,
trusting
rapport with the homeowner before you begin any installation or
service
call.
There are ten simple steps you can take before and during your
initial contact with your customers which will help you set them at
ease, and make your job easier.
1. People really do judge a book by its cover.Before you enter
anyone’s home, check to make sure you appear clean and
professional
Customers often associate a careless
appearance with careless work. If you wear a company
uniform, wear it proudly.
Because you need to travel freely through the home during
an
installation, you
don’t want to give the homeowner cause
for following you around, checking for mud or grease on
their carpets.

USING THE RESIDENTIAL SURVEY
We recommend you use the AT&T Residential Survey as a Job
Aid
The Salesperson will use it
first
to aid in making the sale.
It will give you information about the sale, the customer, the
agreed-upon equipment, the locations for each component, and
several other
useful
details.
You can then record INSTALLATION information on the
survey, making it a very helpful part of the customers
file.
You
should receive a copy of-the survey in your training class, and
will be able to get future copies from your distributor.

Choose Central Controller
Location
Choosing the appropriate location for the Central Controller is
critical to the proper functioning of the system.
The Central Controller should be installed in the center of all the
transmitters, not necessarily in the middle of the house. It should
not be placed near any large metal objects, nor in the range of
appliances that generate RF interference.
Precautions
Typical
appliances

Personal computers and their modems.
Electronic Telephones, Telephone Controllers and
.
that may be sources of RF interference are:
Accessories
Electronic Lamp Dimmers and Lighting Control Panels
.
.
Baby Monitors
In general, attention should be given to any device which could be
considered computer-like or digitally-controlled.
In the presence of these types of devices, use the following
precautions:
.
Keep at least 6 feet
between the source of the interference
and the Central Controller.
Do not group the power and telephone cords of the
.
interference source with the power cord/antenna for the
Central Controller.
.
Avoid using the same power outlet for the Central
Controller and interfering equipment.
In some cases, interference may be generated from outside of the
home. Installers should note nearby:
.
.
.
.
Airport
Television, public service, and radio towers
Large neighborhood antennas
Paper mills
AT&T should be notified in the event that the performance of the
system is being degraded by an outside source of RF interference.

interference which can not be avoided by moving the Central
Controller.

Antenna Placement
The antenna for the Central Controller must have a minimum
length of 7 feet and should be run in an area central to
transmitter locations.
Increasing the length of the wire does not proportionally increase
the effectiveness of the reception. Short increases in length run
toward the weakest RF link can increase reception, however, extra
long antennas can actually decrease reception. It is best
less
the antenna length
than I5 feet, if possible.
Poor reception can. occur when the antenna is mounted in an area
where a large metallic object is present. These metallic objects
block the RF waves. Sometimes sources of metal are obvious, such
as washing machines, refrigerators, heaters, etc...Other sources
are better hidden. Metal ducts, other electrical wires, and steel
beams can all cause trouble if the antenna is run on top of or near
them.
‘Note: The antenna wire should not be bundled along with the
phone line or any other wire. Many installers do this to make the
installation look better, however, "no check in’ problems may
appear due to the introduction of electrical noise, such as static,
into the system.

CONSIDERATIONS
Although the 40.68 MHz band is relatively immune to most small
metal objects in the home or installation site, some house have
building materials that must be taken into consideration. Often, it
is a
combination of several of these factors that cause problems.
Some problems to watch out for.

Large amounts of concrete and brick can be
troublesome, particularly in

1. Set the House Code DIP switches.
The HOUSE CODE is used to distinguish components in one
system from those in a neighboring system. It must be the same
for every component in a given system. Seven DIP switches are
used to program the house code.
Caution: it would be easy to program the House Code upside
down. Be sure the transmitter is correctly oriented before starting.
It’s a good idea to determine the house code before going on an
installation so that you can prevent duplicating neighboring
numbers (especially in condominium complexes and apartment
buildings).
Caution: Do not install the system with the preset default house
code. The default code is set with House Code DIP switch 1 ON
common settings such as putting all of the DIP switches either ON
The following two pages give you a complete listing of all possible
house codes. Just assign any number you choose to the current
installation,
AFTER YOU VERIFY THAT NUMBER IS NOT

Recommendations for Detector
InstalIation:
The Nation Fire Protection Association’s Standard 74, Section 2-l,
reads as follows:
T)
‘2-1.1.1: Smoke
detectors shall be installed outside of each
separate sleeping area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit, including
basements and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished
attics. The
provisions of 2-1.1.1 represent the minimum number of detectors
required by this standard. It is
recomm
ended that the householder
consider the use of additional smoke or heat detectors for
increased protection for those areas separated by a door from the
protected
areas
above. The recommended additional areas are: living
dining
room, bedroom(s), kitchen, attic (finished or
by the required smoke detector under 2-1.1.1
room,
unfinished),
furnace room, utility room, basement, integral or attached garage,
and hallways not covered under 2-1.1.1 above. However, the use of
additional detectors remains the option of the householders.’
SSDT Installation Considerations:
.
When ceiling mounted, the SSDT should be located in
hall,
the center of the room or
any
wall.
When the SSDT is mounted on a wall, the top
at least four inches from
of the unit should be four to twelve inches from the
ceiling.

Do not install the

attic, (furnished or unfurnished), and in every
area. More specifically, detectors should be located:
the kitchen, garage, basement or utility room. In homes
with only one sleeping area on one floor, a detector should
be put in the hallway outside the bedrooms.
In single floor
homes with two separate sleeping areas, two detectors are
required, one outside each bedroom area.
In multilevel homes, detectors should be located in
bedroom areas and at every finished level of the home.
Basement level detectors should be located in the bottom of
the basement stairwells. Second floor detectors should be
located at the top of the first-to-second floor stairwell so
long as no door obstruction blocks the path of the smoke.

electrical appliance is operated. This detector shouid be in

Inside all bedrooms where people sleep with the door

Program
the Transmitters
An easy way to program the transmitters is to begin by setting the
I.D. code for each one while you have them all together (in the
kitchen of wherever you’re working). That way, since you can look
at them ail at once, you’ll be sure not to give the same I.D. number
to more than one transmitter.
I.D.
Let’s look at the
Code for a moment.
Identification Codes
Each transmitter in the system must have a unique code number.
Fivee DIP switches are used to program the transmitter I.D. The
I.D. number is used by the Central Controller to relay trouble
beeps and alarms to specific transmitters. Code numbers 00
through 31 may be used. Codes
The
