Fitting and Wiring Procedure
To install the control panel:
1. Remove the front cover by releasing its three
retaining screws and disconnecting the earth
bonding cable from the spade connector on the
transformer.

).
2. Connect any optional modules to the PCB.
3. Slide the back tamper switch mounting plate into
the slots shown in Figure 1.
4. Route all cables through the cable-entry holes
located on the base of the control panel. All
holes used must be fitted with a rubber grommet
to protect against sharp edges. The mains cable
must use its own cable-entry hole.
5. If required, secure the control panel to a wall
using not less than 30mm x No 10 screws through
the three fixing holes shown in Figure 1.
6. Connect all wiring except to the standby battery
(connect during power-up procedure).
General Wiring Considerations
Cable Type
Cable TypeCable Type
Cable Type
In general, the control panel requires standard 7/0.2
un-screened alarm cable for wiring to XNodes,
MNodes, keypads, LEC2s, ID Node and zone sensors.
The number of cores varies, depending on the
device being connected.
Screened cable may prove necessary if the
installation site has equipment that produces high
levels of R.F. (Radio Frequencies), e.g. heavy
industrial plant such as welding equipment, etc. If
screened cable is required, you should adhere to the
following guidelines:
1. The screen on the cable should be connected
only to mains earth at the control panel to avoid
earth loops.
2. The continuity of the cable screen is most
important and screens MUST be continuous
along the full length of the network.
3. If the network cable enters any metal enclosure,
ensure the screen is isolated from the case.
Cable Segregation
Cable SegregationCable Segregation
Cable Segregation
All network and zone wiring must be segregated from
any other wiring, such as mains supply cables,
telephone cables, computer network cables and R.F.
cables. It is recommended that cable ties are used
to keep cables separated.
The network and detection cables should be kept
clear of cables supplying sounders or extension
loudspeakers. It is also advisable to avoid running
more than one network down a single cable.

Cables routed inside the product, must be:
•Kept as short as possible.
•Routed close to the housing.
•Kept as far as possible from the electronics.
Initial Power-Up Procedure and Checks
1. Place a small screwdriver blade between the
FACTORY RESTART terminals ("18" on Figure 2).
When you switch on the mains, this will ensure
that the factory default settings are used, as
documented in the Engineering Manual.
2. Switch on the mains supply and remove the
screwdriver blade only when the heartbeat LED
(LED1, next to the Digital Communicator
terminals) flashes. This may take up to 30 secs.
3. Check that the power LED on the control panel
PCB is lit. The keypad sounders and extension
loudspeakers will operate (tamper alarm).
4. Enter your engineer passcode (default 1234). The
sounders are silenced and the system prompts to
confirm the network devices used (as described
in the Engineering Manual). Press [ESC] to enter
the Engineering menus.
5. Connect the standby battery.
6. Switch off the 230V mains supply and ensure that
the DC voltage at each device on each network
is greater than 10.5V while the system is powered
from its standby battery.
7. Switch on the mains supply and measure the DC
voltage between the mains earth connection
and AUX +12V ("16" on Figure 2). Warning: Do

Then measure the DC voltage between the
mains earth connection and 0V. In both cases,
the measurement should be 1V or less. If the
voltage is greater than 1V, the system has an
"Earth Fault" and all cables should be checked
for isolation to earth.
8. Replace the cover of the control panel, ensuring
that the earth bonding lead is connected to the
spade connector on the transformer.
9. Use the Engineer menu options to set up the
system, as described in the Engineering Manual.
10. Test system operation.
