HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL
This manual is written to accommodate both the new and the experienced installer
of Ademco products. Ageneral description of the entire system is located at the
beginning of the manual. The wiring and physical setup of the hardware follows.
The sections at the core of the manual include both hardware setup and
programming requirements of each device to make that specific device operational in
the system. Acheckout procedure is included at the end of each section. We
recommend this method to ensure that each device is working properly before
proceeding to the next section. It must also be used if you are making aparticular
addition to the system of one of these devices.
Each of the sections covering the installation of peripheral devices includes the
programming for that device. Without an understanding of the programming of the
system, you will not be able to successfully perform the required programming in
each of these sections. We therefore urge you to read Section 2. Mechanics of
Programming before any programming is performed.
If you are an experienced user of Ademco products, you may choose to wire and then
program the entire system at once. If so, refer to Section 4: Mechanics of
Programming and Section 19. Data Field Descriptions after the hardware setup is
complete. Ablank pull-out programming form is included with this manual.
This manual uses various icons to denote critical notes and technical tips to assist
you with the installation of this system. These are easily seen in the left-hand
column of the relevant information.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR PROPER PROTECTION
The Following Recommen dations For The Location Of Fme And Burglary Detection
Devicee Help Frovfde Proper Coverage For The Protected Premieee.
Recommendations For Smoke And Heat Detectors w
With regard to the number and placement of smoke/heat detectors, we subscribe to the
recommendations contained in the National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA) Standard #72
noted below.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire detection equipment in all
rooms and areas of the household as follows: For minimum protection asmoke detector should be
installed outside of each separate sleeping area, and on each additional floor of amulti-floor
family living unit, including basements. The installation of smoke detectors in kitchens, attics
(finished or unfinished), or in garages is not normally recommended.
For additional protection the NFPA recommends that you install h- or smoke detectors in the
living room, dining room, bedroom(s), kitchen, hallway(s), attic, furnace room, utility and storage
rooms, basements and attached garages.
In addition, we recommend the following
●
●
●
●
●
Install asmoke detector inside every bedroom where asmoker sleeps.
Install asmoke detector inside every bedroom where someone sleeps with the door partly or
completely closed. Smoke could be blocked by the closed door. Also, an alarm in the hallway
outside may not wake up the sleeper if the door is closed.
Install asmoke detector inside bedrooms where electrical appliances (such as portable
heaters, air conditioners or humidifiers) are used.
Install asmoke detector at both ends of ahallway if the hallway is more than 40 feet (12
meters) long.
Install smoke detectors in any room where an alarm control is located, or in any room where
alarm control connections to an AC source or Dhone lines are made. If detectors are not so
located, afire within the room could prevent th;control from reporting afire or an intrusion.

Recommendations For Proper Intrusion Protection
For proper intrusion coverage, sensors should be located at every possible point of entry to ahome or
commercial premises. This would include any skylights that may be present, and the upper windows
in amulti-level building.
In addition, we recommend that radio backup be used in asecurity system so that alarm signals can
still be sent to the alarm monitoring station in the event that the telephone lines are out of order w
(alarm signals are normally sent over the phone lines, if connected to an alarm monitoring station).

Mounting the Keypade
1. Make sure addressable type keypads (4137AD, 5137AD, 6128, 6137,
6138, and 6139) are set to non-addressable mode (address 31), which is
the factory default setting. Refer to the instructions provided with the
keypad for address setting procedure.
2. Mount the keypads at aheight that is convenient for the user. Refer to
the instructions provided with the keypad for mounting procedure.
You can either surface mount or flush mount keypads (using an
appropriate Trim Ring Kit: 5137TRK or 6139 TRK). Refer to the
mounting instructions and template included with the keypad and/or
trim ring kit for specific information.
Using aSupplementary Power Supply to Power Additional Keypade
The control provides 600mA for powering keypads (up to amaximum of 4per
partition) and other devices from the auxiliary power output. The backup
battery will supply power to these keypads in the event that AC power is lost.
When the control’s auxiliary power load for all devices exceeds 600 mA, you
can power additional keypads from aregulated, 12VDC power supply (e.g.,
487–12 supplies 12V, 250A, 488–12 supplies 12V, 500mA). Use aUL
Listed, battery-backed supply for UL installations.
The 487–12/488-12 power supplies have abackup battery which can power
these keypads in the event of AC power loss.

Pdmmmrp Check-out Procedure
If you want to check that the system is working before connecting field wiring
fi-om zones and devices, do the following:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Temporarily connect a 2000 ohm end-of-line resistor across each of the
basic hard-wire zones 1–8, as shown in the Summary of Comections
diagram.
Without actual zone wiring or EOL resistors connected, the keypads in
each partition of the system will not display the “Readfl message.
Power up the system temporarily by plugging the AC transformer ~
(previously wired to the control) into a120VAC outlet.
Busy -Standby (Alpha keypads) or dl (Fixed-word keypads) will be
displayed.
After approximately 1minute*, the green ‘READY’ LED (or “POWER”
LED on some types of keypads) should light, and the word READY (Fixed-
word keypads), or DISARM ED... READY TO ARM (Alpha keypads) should be
displayed.
*To bypass the l-minute delay, press #plus O.
If the ‘Ready” display does not appear on any of the keypads in the system
(in either of the partitions), or a“Not Ready” message is displayed, check
the keypad wiring connections, and make sure each of the 8basic hard-
wired zones has a 2000 ohm resistor connected across its terminals.
When you get the proper ‘Ready” displays on the keypad(s), the system is
functioning properly at this point.
Do not remove the EOL resistors until you are ready to make connections
to the hard-wired zones, to allow for testing later in the manual.

This section provides information on how programming is performed in this
system. It will enable you to understand how to enter and exit the
programming mode, and how to program the data fields and the user-friendly
interactive modes (*56, *80, *81, *82, *83). We therefore urge you to read
and understand the following before proceeding with the installation.
I
General Programming Information
Characteristics for each installation are stored in non-removable, electrically
erasable, non-volatile EEROM memory. These must be programmed for the
particular installation to establish its specific alarm and reporting features.
It is possible to program the system at any time, even at the installer’s
premises prior to the actual installation. Simply apply power temporarily to
the control and then program the unit as desired.
Important Note: You cannot enter the programming mode unless
-partitions are disarmed.
There are two programming modes: data field programming and interactive
(menu) mode programming. Data field programming is used for setting
various system options and interactive programming is used for
programming zone information, programming relay outputs, and for learning
transmitter serial numbers.
.
::,:,
Programming can also be performed remotely from the installer’s officelhome,
using an IBM personal computer, amodem, and V-Link downloading
software. See the Section 18. REMOTE PROGRAMMING AND CONTROL
(DOWNLOADING).
Entering Program Mode
You may use one of the following methods:
a) Press both the [*I and [#] keys at the same time within 50 seconds
after power is applied to the Control, or
b) Mter power up, enter the Installer code (4 1 1 2)+8 O0.
This method is disabled if you exit the program mode using *98 instead of
*99. See “Exiting Program Mode” par~aph later in this section.
If adiHerent Installer code is subsequently programmed, use it instead of
4112 to gain access to the Programming
gmode.
Following entry into program mode, data field *2O will be displayed (this is
the first field in the system). The system will now accept entries for field =0.

When you have completely programmed adata field, the keypad will
“beep” three times and then automatically display the next data field in
sequence. Togo to adifferent field, press [*] plus the desired field No.
