2. Installation
Installation Sequence
Before attempting to install the alarm system, read this section.
Once you have an overall understanding of the installation
sequence, carefully work through each step.
1. Design the Layout
Make a rough sketch of the premises to get an idea of where all
alarm detection devices, keypads and other modules are to be
located.
2. Mounting the Control Panel
The control panel must be mounted within the protected area
close to an unswitched AC power source and the incoming
telephone line.
You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery, or
applying AC to the panel.
3. Install the Remote Keypads
Mount the remote keypads at locations that are easily accessible
during entry and exit from the protected area. Connect the remote
keypads to the control panel.
4. Zone Wiring
Install detection devices and connect to control panel or
expander.
5. Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including external/internal sounders
and telephone line connections.
6. Apply Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 5 are completed, apply power to the control
panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal
and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the AC.
7. Program the System
If available use the AlcoUDL software package to program the
system, if this is not available program this system in accordance
with the procedures in Section 3.
8. Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and
functions are operating as required.
Control Panel
Mounting
Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall using at least three
appropriate screws. The rear casing has been designed with a
central key-hole slot so that mounting is possible without
removing the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
The angled slot in the lower corner has been provided to allow the
panel to be levelled easily. If the PCB has to be removed, carefully
pull back the two front PCB securing clips, lift the front of the PCB
and slide it downward. To replace the PCB simply reverse the
above procedure.
It is essential to ensure that none of the fixing slots or cable
entries are accessible after fixing.
Mains cabling must be secured (e.g. with a cable tie) to one of the
anchor points provided.
Wiring the Control Panel
WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL
BEFORE connecting the control panel ALWAYS
disconnect the supply at the consumer unit.
If in ANY doubt consult a qualified electrician.
ONLY connect the mains supply to the mains terminal
block, NEVER connect the mains supply directly to the
PCB.
The system installation MUST be carried out in
accordance with the national safety standards, for
example EN 60950: 1992.
ALWAYS refer to National Wiring Regulations when
conducting installation.
An appropriate and readily accessible disconnection
device (e.g. an unswitched fused spur) MUST be
provided as part of the installation.
The disconnection device must NOT be fitted in a
flexible cord.
Where identification of the neutral in the mains supply
is NOT possible, a two-pole disconnection device MUST
be used.
The building mains supply MUST incorporate
appropriate short-circuit backup protection (e.g. a fuse
or circuit breaker) of High Breaking Capacity (HBC, at
least 1500A).
Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for the
rated current (i.e. at least 0.75mm2).

10 P0016-LI-00.00
Connecting Devices to the Network
Before connecting devices to the control panel network, isolate
ALL power from the control panel (AC Mains & Battery). Do not
continue if there is still power present on the control panel.
Connecting devices with power still present on the
control panel may damage the device or control panel
and invalidate any warranty.
Remote keypads and zone expanders are all connected to the
same network terminals located at the bottom left hand corner of
the control panel and may be connected serially (daisy chain), in
parallel (star) or any combination of the two.
Network Connections
The network is made up of four terminals incorporating power and
data. To ensure correct operation, all four terminals on the device
must be connected to the corresponding terminals on the control
panel, or previous device. The table below shows each terminal
and its description:

Cable Type and Distances
For improved immunity to electrical noise, the use of screened 4
core cable is recommended. The screen should be twisted
together and wired into the (–) terminal at the control panel only.
The maximum recommended distance for devices when using
standard 7/0.2 alarm cable is:
f250m for each branch when using the star (parallel)
configuration
fWhen using a daisy chain (series) configuration the
maximum distance will depend on the number of devices
connected on the chain. The more devices that are
connected, the shorter the distance to the last device (this is
due to voltage drop in the cable)
Whichever method of wiring configuration is used, ensure that the
voltage between the ‘+’ and ‘–’ terminals at each device is no
lower than 10.0V when the system is running on the standby
battery.
Overcoming Voltage Drop
There are several ways to overcome voltage drop:
fUse thicker lower resistance cable. Standard 7/0.2 alarm
cable has a resistance of 8Ωper 100m
fDouble up on the power connections – this will require using
a 6 or 8-core cable rather than a 4-core cable
fInstall a power supply to power the device locally, remember
to common the two negative connections
Installing a Power Supply
When a power supply is installed, the 0V connections on the
power supply must be connected through to 0V on the control
panel and the +12V connection between the control panel and
the device must be disconnected (see figure below).

route. This zone type will allow the user to walk past the detector
without causing a fault during the exit mode or an Intruder alarm
during the entry mode. However, if activated at any other time the
zone will cause an immediate intruder alarm. This zone type will
also start the entry mode when the system is stay armed.
04 Intruder
Use this zone type for detection devices such as PIR’s, vibration
detectors, magnetic door contacts etc. This zone type generates
an intruder alarm if activated when the system is armed.
05 Perimeter
Use this zone type for detection devices such as external PIR’s, IR
beams. This zone type generates an intruder alarm if activated
when the system is armed.
06 Fire
Use this zone type for smoke and heat detectors. This zone type
generates a distinctive fire alarm if activated at any time.
07 PA Silent
Use this zone type for panic buttons. This zone type generates a
silent panic alarm if it is activated at any time.
08 PA Audible
Use this zone type for panic buttons. This zone type generates an
audible panic alarm if it is activated at any time.
09 Medical

contacts. This zone type will stay arm (3) the system when active
and disarm the system when healthy. If a “momentary” operation
is required then the “Momentary Keyswitch” attribute can be
assigned, see page 20.
17 Bypass Key
Use this zone type for a key switch or door lock that has switch
contacts. This zone type will bypass all zones with the bypass
attribute when active and reinstate them when healthy. If a
“momentary” operation is required then the “Momentary
Keyswitch” attribute can be assigned, see page 20.
18 Security Key
Use this zone type for a key switch. This zone type will disable all
remote keypads when active and reinstate them when healthy. If
a “momentary” operation is required then the “Momentary
Keyswitch” attribute can be assigned, see page 20.
19 Auxiliary
Use this zone type for auxiliary devices, which do not require an
audible alarm response. This zone type generates a silent alarm if
activated at any time.
20 Warning
Use this zone type for monitoring devices that require a warning
indication. This zone type generates a warning (low level beeps
from the keypad every 30 seconds and zone indication) if the
zone remains active for longer than the warning delay time, see
