MAINS CONNECTIONS
Do not connect the mains supply to the panel
until you are fully conversant with the layout
and features of the equipment.
A rating plate is attached to the power supply
module describing the nature of the supply
permitted.
The incoming mains supply should be brought
into the panel via one of the knockouts
provided.
A suitable cable gland must be used to secure
the outer sheath of the cable used. The earth
must first be connected to the primary earth
stud (peg) marked with a symbol, using
the ring crimp provided.
Sufficient earth lead should be left to allow Live and Neutral connections to be accidentally pulled from the
terminal block while leaving the earth connection intact.
CONNECTING THE BATTERIES
Batteries of even very small capacity are capable of delivering very high currents which can cause fire or
injury, therefore battery connections should be done with caution.
The panel is supplied with battery leads already connected to the battery terminals on the main PCB.
These leads are coloured red for +ve and black for -ve.
2 x 12v batteries should be connected in series
using the white jumper lead provided. See
diagram.
Tooptimise the service life of the batteries, the
battery charger output voltage varies with
temperature.
N.B.
In the event of mains failure, the battery charger
circuit will protect the batteries from full discharge
by disconnecting them when they reach below
19v. When the mains supply is restored the
batteries will be automatically reconnected.
NOTE:
If the mains is connected before the batteries, the panel will show a Power Supply fault for up to 1 minute
until the monitoring cylce has finished polling. This is normal. If the fault doesn’t clear after 1 minute, check
connections.

What is AlarmSense?
AlarmSense ® is a range of conventional detection and alarm products designed to be connected to the
same pair of supply wires. It is not compatible with other ranges of detectors and must be used with
AlarmSense compatible control equipment.
Non Priority Alarm
The sounder base, sounder/beacon base and AlarmSense relays have a ‘priority/non priority’ option DIL
switch feature which can provide an enhanced operation particularly suited to HMO dwellings.
This feature, when set, provides up to a two minute delay on the activation of a smoke detector with a local
sounder, which enables the user to clear a false alarm prior to the full activation of the alarms.
The AlarmSense relay can be used to monitor conventional alarm sounders and has a DIL switch to enable
selection of the relay operation for the non priority or priority mode.
The Pulse2 AlarmSense panels have special programming options incorporated for use with AlarmSense
devices:
• Setting as to whether non priority mode is available per zone.
• Programmable time delay for non priority alarms, 30, 60 or 120 seconds.
• Panel display response during non priority alarms (either no indication or zone LED with buzzer).
Non Priority Functionality
When a sounder base has been set as ‘non priority’;
If smoke is detected, the local base sounder will activate (along with any alarm relay set accordingly). After
the programmed time period e.g, 120 secs, the panel will attempt to reset the detector. If clear, the panel
will resume to normal. If the detector re-alarms or another detector comes into alarm during the delay
period a full alarm will occur.
A manual call point activation at any time will cause a full alarm condition.

USER INSTRUCTIONS
If an alarm condition is present YOU MUST FOLLOW YOUR NORMAL FIRE DRILL
PROCEDURES. A responsible person should then:-
1. Check the control panel to see which area or zone has caused the system to go into alarm. This
will be indicated by a pulsing red LED on the front of the control panel.
2. Go to the area which has caused the alarm to check if a fire exists.
3. Only when it is safe to do so should the alarms be silenced. Activate the controls by turning the
key switch or by entering the four digit code (see Activate Controls in the OPERATING section)
and press the (blue) SILENCE ALARMS button (fig 1). To sound the alarms again press the (red)
RESOUND button (fig 2).
4. In the event of a false alarm look for the device that has caused the alarm. A detector will have a
red LED lit, or check to see if a call point glass is broken (if so replace the glass or call an engineer).
5. When fully satisfied that there is no fire, return to the control panel and press the (green) RESET
button, (fig 3). The panel display should return to normal and only the green SUPPLY HEALTHY
LED should be lit on the control panel.
