98/482/EC declaration
(Applies to products that have the CE mark attached)
This equipment has been approved in accordance with Council Decision 98/482/EC for Pan-European single terminal connection to the
public switched telephone network (PSTN). However, due to differences between the individual PSTNs provided in different countries,
the approval does not, of itself, give an unconditional assurance of successful operation on every PSTN network termination point.
In the event of problems, you should contact your equipment supplier in first instance.

4 INSTALLATION GUIDELINES
This installation manual details the installation and programming of the CSx75 using an
LCD keypad or LED keypad. You can also program the system from a PC using the
up/download procedure and Windows-based software.
4.1 Installing the system
Essential Optional
• Control unit and keypad
• Four or six-way security wire
• Battery for control unit (7.2Ah
recommended)
• Screws, wall plugs and cable clips
• Sensors
• Sounders
• Screwdrivers, wire cutters and wire
strippers
• Additional keypads
• Additional expansion modules
• Voice module
• RS232 adapter (depending on model)
• Keyswitch
• PC with Windows software
• Multimeter
• Keypad on a long lead
• Input and output expanders
• Home automation module
"The CS175 must have at least one keypad (LED or LCD) installed. On the CS275,
CS575 and CS875 you can disconnect the keypad after programming or program
remotely by means of the up/download package.
4.2 Wiring the system
The CSx75 control panel has been designed, assembled and tested to meet the
requirements of current relevant standards related to safety, emission and immunity
with respect to environmental electrical and electromagnetic interference. Only a
qualified electrician or other suitable trained and qualified person should attempt to
wire this system to the mains or to the public telephone network.
"Always disconnect the mains power before opening the control panel cabinet. Disconnect
the AC mains plug from the AC mains wall socket or disconnect the mains by means of
the dedicated circuit breaker provided.
When installing the CSx75, you should follow local standards and the following guidelines.
1. Ensure that there is a good earth for the alarm system. A good earth is essential for
effective resistance to electrical interference. Do not forget to provide a network earth
for the telephone dialler.
2. Maintain a good separation between low voltage and mains supply cables. Use
separate points of cable entry to the control panel cabinet.
3. Avoid loops of wire inside the control panel and route cables so they do not lie on top
or underneath the printed circuit board. The use of cable ties is recommended and
improves neatness within the box.
4. Mains switching relays must not be fitted inside the control panel cabinet. The
switching of these relays may cause electrical interference. Any circuit connected
either directly to the on-board relay’s contact or to the external relay’s contact

12 CS175-275-575-875 Installation Guide
through the on-board electronic output, must be of SELV (Safety extra-low voltage)
operating circuit.
• Use a relay with good insulation between the contacts and the coil.
• Place a suppression diode, for example, a 1N4001, across the relay coil.
• Relays connected to open collector outputs of the alarm system should be rated
at 12 volts DC with a coil impedance greater than 400 Ohms.
5. The remote bus cable is used for communication between the control panel and the
keypads/expanders. The greatest care should be taken when installing this cable.
Never split it into separate cables. Do not use cables with wires that are used for
telephone connections or for switching, for example, flashing LEDs, sirens or relays.
6. Avoid cable ducts and cableways that contain mains power cables. This is
particularly important when such ducts contain cables supplying electric motors,
fluorescent lights or three-phase power. If this is not possible, shielded cable should
be used and the cable should be earthed at the control panel end only.
7. If the upper and/or lower cabinet entry cable holes are used to route wiring into the
control panel, always use a proper pipe fitting system by means of appropriate
conduit and junction box. Use only materials of suitable flammability class (HB or
better).
8. For mains power connection, use the mains connector terminal either through a
permanent wiring or a flexible mains cable to an earthed mains outlet. Always use
cable ties to fix mains cable at the dedicated fixing point provided near the mains
terminal connector.
• For permanent fixed wiring, insert an easily accessible, dedicated bipolar circuit
breaker in the power distribution network.
• Do not solder the end of a stranded conductor at places where the conductor is
subject to a contact pressure, unless the method of clamping reduces the risk of
a bad contact due to cold flow of the solder.
4.3 Basic installation procedure
You should first identify a suitable place for the control unit. This must be convenient to a
mains supply and a telephone connection.
You must then:
1. Mount the sensors, keypads, control unit, smoke detectors and sounders.
2. Connect all modules and keypads to the keypad bus, making sure to set the DIP
switches on the modules and record the module addresses. These are needed
later.
3. Connect the battery and the mains power. The control panel will not start if only
the battery is connected.
4. Program all keypads with their keypad number and partition number using 94.
See Setting keypad options on page 40 for more information.
5. Set the options on each keypad.
6. Once all keypads have been programmed, you can either enter and exit
programming mode to initialise the modules and keypads, or continue by

CS175-275-575-875 Installation Guide 13
defaulting and programming the control panel and the modules, adding users and
setting authority levels.
7. Set the country code. After changing the country code, the defaults for the
selected country are restored in the panel.
