Safety symbols
The following symbols are used in this installation guide to indicate possibly hazardous
conditions.
Electrical Hazard—Failure to observe the danger notice may result in
electrical shock, severe bodily injury, or death.

significantly disrupt or impair operation of Bandit 240 PB.
Unpacking instructions
Before installing Bandit 240 PB, open the shipping box and verify you have received the
following items:
• Bandit 240 PB
• Hypak-3
• Allen wrench
• Bandit software disk
• Optional hardware you may have ordered, such as mounting kits
Compliance
Bandit 240 PB complies with the following standard for safety and operation:
International Standard IEC 839-1-3 “Alarm Systems, General Requirements,
Environmental Testing”
Environmental Safety
Bandit’s fog is harmless to adults. Nevertheless, people with the following conditions
may experience a reaction to Bandit’s fog:
• Claustrophobics

Installation
Mounting
Site selection
Select a site for mounting Bandit 240 PB with the following characteristics:
• Ambient temperate between 32–122ºF. Avoid locations close to heat sources such as
radiators and stoves.
• Clearance from walls and ceiling as indicated in the following diagram. This ensures
enough room for heat dissipation and routine maintenance.
• For wall mounting, a 5º–15º inclination from vertical.
• Mount in a location away from rain or moisture.
• Mount on a wall, shelf, or floor that can support 62 lbs.
Site Selection
• Position Bandit 240 PB such that the ejection nozzle points in the direction where
intruders may enter, or in the area storing the objects you want to protect.

Bandit 240 PB Installation and User Guide
• Avoid pointing the nozzle to an air circulation point, such as an open window, a
window that may be broken during a burglary, or a large circulation vent; in such
cases the nozzle may eject the fog directly outside of the protected area.
• Point the nozzle towards a wall to break the ejection pressure and allow the fog to
accumulate into a thick cloud.
• Avoid positioning the nozzle directly above an exit. This may prevent the intruder or
by-standers from leaving the protected area after an ejection.
• Avoid positioning the nozzle away from fragile objects; the force of the ejection can
topple or damage unprotected items.
• Position the nozzle such that the first surface to block the ejection is 20 feet
(6 meters) away.
• When installing multiple nozzles, position the nozzles so they expel fog in a manner
that avoids double-clouding of the same area. Suggested points are diagonally
opposite corners of a room.
Site Preparation
• Heat from Bandit’s fog ejection may trigger PIRs. Replace PIRs with combination
PIR-radar sensors that are triggered by both heat and movement; this reduces the
chances of a false alarm during fog ejection.
• Mount a motion sensor in a location that assures an intruder is detected before
approaching Bandit.
Required tools
To install Bandit 240 PB you need the following tools:
• Drill and standard set of drill bits
• Bandit Allen wrench (included in shipping box)
• Wire strippers
• Screwdrivers
• Voltage testers
• PC communications link (optional, available from Bandit Solutions, Inc.)
You may need additional hardware depending on how you install Bandit.
