Chapter 1 Usage in accordance with regulations
The ABUS wireless alarm system is used for protecting flats and homes and small to medium business objects. If the wireless alarm
system and its accessories are installed properly, it alerts you in the case of intrusion, warns you about fires, and calls for help in the
event of an emergency.
The wireless alarm system and its accessories are designed for protected interior spaces (environment class 1) and must be used
there only. Make sure that the specified environment conditions are met. If the specified environment conditions are not met, the
proper operation of the wireless alarm system and its accessories cannot be guaranteed. Besides false alarms, irreversible damage
can be done to components if the environment conditions are not met, even for a short period, leading to a complete failure in
individual components or the entire system.
The external wireless sounder and the wireless remote controls are exceptions to the environment class described above. Please note
the corresponding environment conditions for these products.
The wireless alarm system cannot prevent burglary, hold-ups, fire or vandalism. When properly installed, it is used for local information
and the forwarding of this information by telephone using voice messages.
The wireless alarm system works on a frequency band in the 868MHz frequency range specially protected for alarm systems. This
prevents other consumer products such as baby phones disturbing the operation of the wireless alarm system. However, it cannot be
excluded that radio transmission is temporarily or permanently interfered with by defective components of other electrical or electronic
products such as ventilator fans, antenna boosters, etc. Furthermore, radio transmission can also be interfered with consciously and
wantonly from outside. However, the wireless alarm system is capable of detecting and reporting such disturbances when normal radio
traffic is no longer ensured.
All accessories of the wireless alarm system work with batteries that have only a limited service life. The system monitors the battery
condition of the accessories and reports in advance when the accessory batteries have to be replaced. You should then replace the
batteries as soon as possible. The accessories work only as long as there is sufficient power available for proper operation. If this is no
longer the case, they automatically go out of operation. A detector in this state can no longer fulfil its function.
The wireless alarm system is supplied with energy from the general power supply network and has standby rechargeable batteries for
emergencies. The standby batteries maintain full operation of your wireless alarm system for several hours. However, the system is
not designed for permanent battery operation. If there is a longer power failure, the energy of the standby batteries will be used up.
The alarm system works only as long as there is sufficient power available for proper operation. If this is no longer the case, it
automatically goes out of operation. The functions described are then no longer available.
All information and programming settings are saved in a long-term memory (EEPROM) and are available again following a complete
failure of the system (even after several months). When you restart the system, all you have to do is correct the date and time.
Chapter 2 Safety information
For damage caused by non-compliance with these installation instructions, no guarantee claims are possible. No liability can
be accepted for resulting damage.
In the case of material or personal damage caused by improper operation or non-compliance with the security notes, no
liability or guarantee claim can be accepted.
For security and authorisation reasons (CE), the unauthorised alteration and/or changing of the alarm system and its components is
not permitted.
Only a regulation network power socket (230 Volt / 50 Hz or 110Volt / 60Hz) of the public supply network can be used as a power
source.

3.2 What is the ABUS wireless alarm system?
The ABUS wireless alarm system is an alarm system specially designed and developed for house owners and the owners of
small to medium commercial objects. The wireless alarm system ensures 24-hour security with the help of the wireless sensors and
detectors installed in your property. Depending on your particular version, the ABUS wireless alarm system triggers burglar
alarms, warns you about fire, and calls for help in the event of household emergencies. The ABUS wireless alarm system also
has intelligent control functions that can be integrated in modern house management systems, such as EIB. These can also be
remote-operated from a distance.
3.3 What are the functions of the ABUS wireless alarm system?
The ABUS wireless alarm system provides reliable surveillance. In the event of an alarm triggered by wireless detectors (e.g.:
(smoke, magnet, motion sensor), wireless emergency button (e.g.: panic emergency call), or by system faults (e.g.: power failure),
the ABUS wireless alarm system automatically calls previously programmed telephone numbers and activates local sounders,
depending on the alarm.
The ABUS wireless alarm system informs and plays previously recorded announcements when called. It then transmits the cause
of the alarm (e.g.: fire, emergency) or the system messages (e.g.: power failure, battery fault).
The ABUS wireless alarm system keeps you in touch. You can use the integrated microphone and loudspeaker to speak by
telephone into the room and also to listen in to what is happening in it. For a control call, you just dial into the ABUS wireless alarm
system.
The ABUS wireless alarm system gives you security since if anything happens, it calls until you or a person defined by you
answers the call. The ABUS wireless alarm system can react and act remotely. You can activate and deactivate the ABUS
wireless alarm system with a telephone call. You can also activate the control outputs and program the alarm numbers to any
selected destination.
The ABUS wireless alarm system is simple to program and operate. The logically designed installation procedure is menu-guided
like the user instructions. The user also receives the most important system events as voice output.

4.1 What kinds of security are there?
In general, there are three different ways of securing an object:
External perimeter surveillance, in which primarily the endangered areas such as the entrance door, terrace door and cellar door
as well as ground-floor windows are protected by wireless magnet contacts and wireless glass breakage detectors. The next step is
to make sure that all other access areas are protected. Unprotected access areas are a security risk since there is no detection
using wireless motion sensors inside the object.
This type of surveillance is particularly recommended for pet owners of dogs, cats, etc. since these animals can cause false alarms
on interior detectors (motion sensors).
Internal surveillance (surveillance of certain areas and/or traps), where you monitor only the interior of your object. There is no
surveillance of the external perimeter. Protection using wireless motion sensors begins with the areas most likely to be crossed by
burglars such as entrances, halls, and living rooms. In the next stage, every room can be protected individually.
Internal surveillance is the cheapest type of surveillance, and the burglar may be detected quite late, when he or she is already
inside the object.
The combination of these two protection methods, which closes security gaps in the “outer skin” surveillance through the use of
interior detectors (wireless motion sensors). The burglar is detected either when entering the object or when moving within the
object.
The combination of these two protection types offers you maximum security.
We recommend the use of wireless smoke detectors since every electrical device in your house represents a potential fire hazard.
First of all, the halls and stairways should be protected, with at least one detector per floor. Equally important are areas such as
children’s playrooms, bedrooms and living rooms, where each room should have its own detector.
Smoke detectors save lives!
You operate the wireless alarm system either with the remote control provided, a wireless control panel, or a wireless key switch.
The system can be controlled directly from the ABUS wireless alarm system. The system is also programmed on this keypad.
Other features are remote-controlled activation and programming by telephone or remote PC, which will be explained later in these
instructions. For more information of operating the wireless alarm system, see the operating instructions and the installation DVD. If
in doubt, please contact your specialist dealer.

4-14
4.2 What wireless detectors do I need?
The type and number of wireless detectors needed depends partly on the type of protection and partly on the level of security you
want to achieve. You should therefore plan your wireless sensors as follows:
•Consider how an intruder can get into your object. It will help if you draw up a plan of your object, or take a walk around,
inside and outside the object. Try to imagine what you would do to get into the object. Don’t forget to include any aids that
may be available. Direct access via the house door or terrace door is not necessarily the fastest. For example, if a ladder is
available, a balcony door or an upstairs window will represent a risk.
•If your object already has good mechanical protection systems such as window locks or extra door locks, these will prevent
most burglars from getting into the object.
•Burglaries should always be fast, quiet and inconspicuous. Accesses at hidden areas of your object, such as cellar doors
or rear windows, are therefore particularly at risk.
•Plan to install at least one smoke detector in your system – in the bedroom – or even better, three smoke detectors – in the
bedroom, in the hall, (escape route) and in the living room (large amount of electrical equipment). Smoke detectors in the
kitchen or bathroom are unsuitable because of the natural steam and smoke situation there.
•With the help of the requirements listed above and the tips on the installation DVD, make a list of wireless detectors
required and divide them into three categories: Absolutely necessary (high hazard risk), important (medium hazard risk)
and less important (low hazard risk, other security messages have already been taken, difficult to reach/overcome).
•Buy all the wireless detectors that are absolutely necessary. Since the system is modular, the wireless detectors of the
other categories can also be installed later.
•When operating the system, note that you activate and deactivate the system several times a day. The components should
therefore be placed where they are as easy as possible to operate and they do not restrict you in your normal day-to-day
life.
If you have questions about protecting your property, consult your specialist dealer. To help you in the planning, make a plan or
sketch of your object.
The ABUS wireless alarm system and its components are designed and developed in such a way that they immediately detect
and report possible assaults from outside and tamper attempts. Better safe than sorry!
4.3 Where do I install the ABUS wireless alarm system?
The ABUS wireless alarm system should be installed in your house near an analogue telephone connector and a 230V power
socket – ideally near the centre of the object to ensure good communication with the detectors. You should not install it directly in
the entrance area near the entrance door, where it can easily be tampered with. Use a wireless operating panel here.
Note that the ABUS wireless alarm system must be installed at a minimum distance of 1m to ceilings and floors to guarantee
good radio communication. Furthermore, do not install the ABUS wireless alarm system in a cupboard or drawer since the
furniture materials would weaken radio reception and you would not hear the voice messages of the system.
On the rear of the equipment there are several openings to enable it to be hung on wall screws. Using the fixing materials provided
and a power screwdriver, you can quickly fix the system to the wall. It should be fixed on a flat wall so firmly that the tamper contact
on the rear is completely pressed down. If this is not possible, deactivate this contact.
Make sure that the maximum distance between wireless detectors and the ABUS wireless alarm system does not exceed 30m in
buildings. Note that building materials and other electrical equipment can restrict the radio transmission range. Look out for strongly
reinforced ferro-concrete floors and ceilings (e.g., on the ground floor) or electric under-floor heating systems (Faraday cage).
4.4 What is the best installation sequence?
Install and program your ABUS wireless alarm system in the order described below. The instructions will guide you step by step
through the installation. Programming closes with a test alarm leading to a successful alarm triggering on the system (so long as no
communication faults exist).

5.2 How do I install the ABUS wireless alarm system?
The ABUS wireless alarm system is mounted on the wall in three steps. You need a flat screwdriver to open the casing. A battery-
powered screwdriver is best suited for drilling the holes for the fixing screws. You can then use this screwdriver to screw the fixing
screws into the wall.
Proceed as follows when installing the ABUS wireless alarm system:
5.2.1 Preparing the base plate
•Loosen the casing screw in the middle of the base. When delivered, the case is not yet screwed together.
•Separate the faceplate and the base plate with a flat screwdriver as shown in the graphic.
•Carefully fold the faceplate upwards. To avoid destroying the fixing clamps on the top of the faceplate, make sure you do
not bend it up more than 45°.
•Now draw the flat cable out of the fixing on the base plate.
The base plate and the faceplate are now separated. Place the faceplate to one side.
•Now pull the battery lid out of the base plate.
•Carefully fold the fixing clamps for the PC board outwards and pull the PC board out of the base plate.
5.2.2 Assembling the base plate
•The base plate can now be used as a drill template for marking the drill holes. 6 different drill holes are provided. At least 4
have to be used to enable stable mounting of the ABUS wireless alarm system on the wall.
Never drill the holes through the base plate since this could destroy the plastic of the base plate. Remove the PC board so
that you can mark the drill holes.
•Drill the holes and insert wall plugs if necessary. Fix the base plate to the wall using M4 screws at least 35mm long.
•Before screwing the base plate to the wall, remove the cable openings for telephone and power cables with side-cutting
pliers (see sketch). This is not necessary if the cabling is fed through the back wall.
•Adjust the lid contact (tamper) according to the triggering behaviour you require: The tamper contact is on the rear of the
base plate.
Box only – A tamper alarm is triggered only if the case is opened.
Box and Wall – A tamper alarm is triggered if the case is opened or removed from the wall. Select the Box and Wall
setting if the system is installed on a wall.
•Guide the power and telephone cables into the case. Remember that you may want to incorporate control cables, and then
fix the base plate firmly to the wall using the screws provided.
•Replace the PC board.

5.2.3 Fixing the faceplate
Before fixing the faceplate, first read the following sections (up to page 5-20) and then return here. The preceding sections are
not needed for every installation.
When carrying out the following, make sure that the voltage is disconnected for all connection work. Both the power adapter
and the standby batteries must be disconnected.
Before fixing the faceplate, the following installation work should be complete.
•Telephone and power are connected to the PCB of the base plate (section 5.3).
•All connection work for additional control cables is completed on the PCB of the base plate (section 5.5).
•The brightness is adjusted (section 5.4).
•All jumpers are plugged in according to the desired function (section 5.7).
When all these jobs are completed, replace the faceplate and screw it tight. Proceed as follows:
•Connect the flat cable of the faceplate to the base plate.
•Insert the temper spring into the casing for the tamper opening and clip the faceplate from above into the
base plate.
•Fold the faceplate down until it clicks audibly into the base plate.
•Screw the case together from below using the screw provided.
The ABUS wireless alarm system is now ready for the following installation steps described in chapter 6.
5.3 How do I install the power and telephone connections?
The ABUS wireless alarm system is powered by a 230V AC power adapter with 9V AC. In this step, make sure only the
secondary power adapter plug is plugged into the base plate (see number 5 on page 5-14: What is what inside the ABUS wireless
alarm system?). The power adapter plug must never be plugged into the mains socket. The socket for the power adapter is on the
PCB in the base plate.
Alternatively, the power adapter plug can be connected directly to the base plate after the plug has been removed. The polarity is
unimportant.
For the telephone connection, you can use either an RJ45 plug or an RJ11 plug. The two analogue telephone cables a and b can
also be connected to the screw clamp as shown in the graphic. Here too, the polarity is unimportant. One or more telephone
terminal devices can be connected, but they must be connected after the ABUS wireless alarm system. The reason: In the event
of an alarm, the system separates the connection to any series-connected telephone terminal devices and then uses this telephone
connection exclusively for transmitting the alarm message (blockade switching). In this way, you prevent a “busy” telephone from
blocking the line in the event of an alarm. To connect your telephone terminal devices to the system, see the above sketch. The
cables of your telephone line must be connected to the Line connector of the ABUS wireless alarm system. Connect the cables of
your telephone or PBX to the Set connector.
5.4 How do I adjust the contrast of the LCD display?
The ABUS wireless alarm system has a dimmer for adjusting the brightness and contrast of the LCD display. You should make
adjustments after plugging into the power supply and before replacing the faceplate on the base plate.
To make this setting, turn the LCD light dimmer (see number 8 on page 5-14: What is what inside the ABUS wireless alarm system?)
carefully with a small flat screwdriver until you have set the right brightness.

5.5 How do I connect the other contacts in the ABUS wireless alarm system?
5.5.1 Connecting a wired sounder
The ABUS wireless alarm system is fitted with a built-in sounder. If required, an external sounder or piezo sounder can be
connected to alert inhabitants and neighbours with a loud signal during the alarm.
To connect an external sounder:
•Connect the external cables to the sounder clamps (+ Bell) (Bell -). Make sure that the polarity is correct if you are
connecting an electronic sounder and/or polarised sounders.
•Select the sound signal to be generated (see chapter 8, page 8-29, Quick Key [1][2][32] in the installer menu) for
each sounder.
•For a loudspeaker or built-in sounder driver, the ABUS wireless alarm system generates a continuous or
interrupted oscillating voltage.
•For a sounder or electrical sounder, the ABUS wireless alarm system generates a continuous 9V DC or a slow
pulsing voltage, depending on the alarm type. Use a sounder with a maximum power consumption of 9V 500mA.
!
WARNING:
To avoid interference to the external sounder loop if no connection is made to the sounder clamps, connect one of
the 2.2 kΩresistors supplied between the (+ Bell) and (Bell -) terminals.
NOTE:
It is very important to define the menu item Sounder / LS in the installer menu correctly. The setting depends on
the type of sounder. You normally select the Sounder setting.
If the sounder output is overloaded (max. 500 mA) and it is silenced, you have to interrupt the load at the output for
at least 10 seconds before reconnecting a load to the output. The circuit-breaker is then reset.
5.5.2 Sounder tamper
If a sounder tamper contact is fitted, connect the tamper contact of your (wired) sounder with the tamper input on the PC board of
the ABUS wireless alarm system (Bell TMP / COM). This line is protected from tampering by a 2.2 kΩresistor. This should be
connected in series to the contact inside the sounder housing.
The tamper input is monitored only if the setting in the installer menu is set to “Yes” under “External Device” (Quick Key [1] [2] [31]
in the installer menu). For more information, see [1] [2] [31].
5.5.3 Controllable relay and transistor outputs
Your ABUS wireless alarm system has 4 controllable outputs (2 x 24V DC 3A relays potential-free or 13.8V 200mA and 2 x 13.8V
DC 70mA transistors). These outputs are activated according to system events. For example alarms, system faults, specific zone
and partition events, but also user-controlled or time-controlled.
Connect switch outputs UO1 (switch output 1) and UO2 (switch output 2) as follows:
AUX
UO2 / UO1
N.O CN.C
+
-
J4 (UO2)
or
J5 (UO1)

Positive: Connect the collective
clamp “COM/BLK” and N.C (9V
from NC) with an external
device you want to control via
this switch output. Take note of
jumper J4 (for UO2) and J5 (for
UO1). (See number 15 on page
5-14: What is what inside the
system?)
Negative: Connect the
collective clamp “AUX/RED”
and N.C (9V from AUX) with an
external device you want to
control via this switch output.
Take note of jumper J4 (for
UO2) and J5 (for UO1). (See
number 15 on page 5-14: What
is what inside the system?)
Potential-free: Connect clamps c and
N.C with an external power supply and
an external device you want to control
via this switch output. Take note of
jumper J4 (for UO2) and J5 (for UO1).

NOTE:
1. You can connect external equipment to clamp N.O instead of to clamp N.C.
If you connect to clamp NC (normally closed), the circuit between the system and an external device is
closed. If the switch output is activated, the system interrupts the circuit and the connected device is
switched off.
If you connect to clamp NO (normally open), the circuit between the system and an external device is
interrupted. If the switch output is activated, the system closes the circuit and the connected device is
switched on.
2. The “COM/BLK” and “AUX/RED” clamps are collective clamps. You can connect more than one cable to
them.
Connect transistor outputs UO3 (switch output 3) and UO4 (switch output 4) as follows:
Connect the positive connector of the external device you want to control with “AUX /RED” (+) clamp and the negative with the
clamp of the switch output UO3 (or UO4).
5.5.4 Connecting a device ground
The grounding (earth) protects your electronic equipment against damage and interference caused by lightning and inductive
voltages.
An ideal grounding is the earth connection (green/yellow wire) in the power socket.
Important: Never connect 230V directly to the system. Only the earth!
Connecting to ground:
•Make a connection between the earth contact of the ABUS wireless alarm system and an electrical earth connection to
protect it against lightning and static electricity.
!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The earth contact must be made in accordance with local regulations.
5.5.5 Connecting a wired zone
The ABUS wireless alarm system has a wired zone – Zone 33 (Z33), which can be used, for example, to connect a key switch or
a panic emergency call. Connect this zone using twisted-pair cables or a 4-core cable. The following figure shows the different zone
connection types – these have to be programmed accordingly in the installer menu later:
NOTE:
The wired zone cannot be used as a fire zone. For a zone with tamper, you can use a double terminal resistor (DEOL) to
save additional connections.
5.5.6 Connecting an external consumer
Use the collective clamps AUX/Red (+) and COM BLK (-), to connect external devices or detectors that require a power supply of
9V DC with a maximum power consumption of 200mA.
!
IMPORTANT:
During a power failure, the AUX output is deactivated to ensure a longer system runtime.
NOTES:
The total current of collective clamps should not exceed 200mA.
If the collective output is overloaded (more than 200 mA) and it is silenced, you have to interrupt the load at the output
for at least 10 seconds before reconnecting a load to the collective output.

5.6 How are the standby batteries used?
The ABUS alarm system is equipped with 6 standby batteries that maintain operation during a power failure. There are two types
of battery:
ÊRechargeable: Size AA, 1.2 V DC cells
ÊNot rechargeable: Size AA, 1.5 V DC alkaline
!
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The batteries supplied by Security-Center are rechargeable Nickel Cadmium cells with 1.2 V 800m AAA batteries.
Do not attempt to use a different type of rechargeable battery. If you do not conform with the above instructions,
your equipment may suffer damage.
!
CAUTION:
If you use rechargeable batteries, make sure that jumper J10 is placed on its TWO pins (see also page 5-21). If
you do not conform to the above instructions, persons may be injured or your equipment may suffer damage.
Inserting the batteries:
Pull out the battery case of the ABUS wireless alarm system.
1. Place the 6 batteries supplied in the case. Check the polarity as shown on the case.
2. Push the battery case back in.
3. Secure the case with the lockable screw (if necessary).
4. After making all connections, plug the power supply unit in the mains socket.
NOTE:
Recharge the batteries for at least 12 hours to ensure that they are fully charged. The “weak battery” indication
should then disappear within 15 minutes.
IMPORTANT:
CAUTION: When replacing batteries, make sure you use the same type. If you do not conform to the above
instructions, persons may be injured or your equipment may suffer damage.
Replacing a rechargeable battery by a non-rechargeable battery can lead to damage unless you first replace
the jumper (J10) inside the ABUS wireless alarm system. For further details, see page 5-20: What are the
effects of the different jumper settings?
Dispose of used batteries according to relevant regulations.
