INPUTS cont.
TAMPER -A 24Hr tamper circuit is available for monitoring tamper status of detectors, junction boxes, cabinets and
satellite sirens etc. This Tamper circuit is programmable with 2 options Address 170 either normally closed loop or 2k2
EOL supervision( the default is 2k2 EOL). The tamper circuit must be terminated with an end-of-line resistor if 2k2
EOL supervision is selected. The activation events and outputs for this tamper circuit are mapped in the same manner
as for detection zones 1-8. Using Dual-End-of-Line resistors (Refer to zones on Page 6) the Tamper input can also
provided two key-switches. The Low key-switch (4k7 resistor) operates Partition A while the High key-switch (8k2
resistor) operates partition B. In this configuration the 2k2 resistor must still be installed to seal the system Tamper.
In addition to the Analogue monitoring inputs, you will find the following system inputs on your POWERWAVE-8
control PCB;
AC -Connect the two low voltage wires (no polarity) from the transformer to the terminals marked AC on the
PowerWave PCB. The POWERWAVE-8 includes a mains transformer rated at 1.4 amps at 17 volts.
EARTH -Always connect the mains earth to the appropriate terminal on the mains terminal block in the control box
cabinet. Also connect a lead from this earth point to the terminal marked with the Earth symbol (next to AC terminals)
on the POWERWAVE PCB.
BATTERY -Connect a sealed lead acid rechargeable 12V d.c. battery to the red and black battery leads. Be careful to
observe correct polarity as damage may occur from incorrect connection. The minimum recommended battery
capacity is 7 amp hours. Battery charge current at these terminals is limited to 350mA maximum. The battery
connection is fuse protected by fuse F2 ( 3A). The panel performs a dynamic load test on the battery every 5 seconds
and if it fails the test at any time it will flash the system LED (refer to the “View Memory” chart on page 10 for more
details).
LINE IN -This pair of terminals is used to connect the PowerWave-8 to the incoming telephone line from the street.
The communicator uses this line for reporting.
LINE OUT -This pair of terminals is used to connect telephones and other communication equipment to the incoming
phone line via the POWERWAVE-8 controller. The telephone line is passed through the POWERWAVE-8 controller to
ensure that the line is available to the controller when it is required.
OUTPUTSOUTPUTS
12 VOLT OUTPUTS -There are two 12 volt dc outputs available on the PowerWave-8 PCB. These 12 volt outputs are
all regulated and fuse protected. These outputs are marked 12v and 0v, and are supplied by fuses F1. A maximum
total load of 1 amp may be drawn from these terminals.
OUTPUTS 1 & 2-These fully programmable, high current, open collector (high-going-low) type FET outputs are
capable of switching up to 1.5A @ 12V d.c. These 2 outputs are normally set as switched outputs, providing power for
12v sirens or piezos. If required, these outputs can be programmed to be siren outputs designed to drive an 8 ohm 10
watt horn speaker per output. Also if a horn speaker is connected to Output 1 you may select (in programming) the
listen-in feature to this output as well so that the dialling sequence can be heard at the speaker.
OUTPUTS 3 & 4-These are low current, open collector (high-going-low) type outputs capable of switching no more
than 100mA. Like Outputs 1 & 2 they are fully programmable.
NOTE: -Connecting devices which draw current in excess of 100mA to outputs 3 & 4 will cause permanent
damage to the PowerWave controller.
KEYPAD PORT -The terminals marked POS, NEG, CLOCK, & DATA make up the communications port which the
keypads and other intelligent field devices use to talk to the POWERWAVE-8 controller. The terminals are connected
to corresponding terminals on the remote devices. The "listen" terminal is only used by the keypads and utilises a fifth
wire to provide a communicator listen-in facility. This feature is particularly useful when servicing monitoring faults.
The keypad 12v output I(POS,NEG) is also protected by fuse F1.
EXPANSION PORT -The expansion port is for the connection of the Arrowhead RS232 serial board. The serial board
allows for the direct connection of a PC running the Upload/Download software. It is also used for the EEprom board
to allow program back-up and re-instatement using the Data Transfer Unit (DTU).

TELECOM INTERFACETELECOM INTERFACE
The communicator facility of this Power Wave-8controller has been designed to provide optimum flexibility in the way
in which alarm events are reported. This flexibility includes options for reporting to a central monitoring station using
Ademco Contact ID, a domestic reporting option using alternating siren tones, a format for reporting alarms to a
numeric pager and a powerful speech dialler.
In accordance with statutory requirements of Austel standards, we must bring the following points to your attention;
Connect the Telephone line via a Mode 3 lead (supplied)to the Mode 3 phone socket on the wall (not supplied). Using
a Mode 3 socket on the wall, allows the Power Wave-8to cut off existing telephones or other devices connected to the
same phone line and seize the telephone line to ensure the alarm call can be made. The control panel is supplied with
an RJ11 socket and/or terminal blocks for connecting the panel to the telephone line. If using the RJ11 phone socket
on the PC Board, ensure that the supplied phone lead is used to connect the panel to the telephone line socket on the
wall.
All connections must comply with Australian Standards ACA TS008.
If using the (Optional)terminal blocks on the PCB, then the system must be wired in accordance with the diagram
below and the lead must comply with Australian Standards ACA TS008.
The following diagram shows how the Mode 3 (Type 600)plug should be wired to the Power Wave-8.
The transmit level from this device is set at a fixed level in accordance with Austel requirements and because of this,
there may be circumstances where this device does not give its optimum output level performance. Before reporting
such occurrences as faults, please check the line with a standard Austel approved telephone, and do not report a fault
unless the telephone performance is impaired.
This automatic dialling equipment shall not be set up to make calls to the " 000 " Emergency Service

KEYPAD INSTALLATIONKEYPAD INSTALLATION
INSTALLATION
Separate the two keypad halves by carefully inserting a small screwdriver into the release slots on the bottom
edge of the keypad front half and applying a gentle pressure. This will release the bottom edge of the housing
enough for you to unclip the top.
Screw the base to the wall using the mounting holes provided. These holes will match the standard single switch
plate spacing. Ensure the base is mounted right side up. It is marked with the word "TOP" to aid orientation. When
fixing the base to the wall make sure the top of the screw heads will not touch or short out the underside of the
PCB when the top half of the keypad is reinstalled. Bring the cables through the centre of the base.
Connect the 4 or 5 wires to the 5 way terminal block on the rear of the keypad PCB making sure to match the
cables up with the terminals as marked on the control panel's keypad port. The 5th wire is connected from the "LIN"
terminal of the keypad to the "Listen" terminal of the PowerWave-8PCB keypad port.
WIRING
The PowerWave keypad connects to the PowerWave Controller via a 4 or 5 wire data security cable. A maximum
of 8 LED keypads can be connected, each wired in parallel. A 5th wire may be used to provide a phone line
"Listen-in" facility at the keypad when the PowerWave is communicating.
KEYPAD ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT
Each of the 8 possible LED keypads which are able to be connected to your PW-16 panel must be addressed
individually to avoid BUS conflicts and other communication problems. As default, each keypad comes addressed
as #1.
Use the table below to determine Keypad addressing.
IMPORTANT NOTE: KEYPAD ADDRESS CHANGES ARE ONLY RECOGNISED AT POWER-UP. ALL
CHANGES SHOULD BE MADE IN THE POWERED DOWN STATE AND THEN ON POWER-UP THE NEW
KEYPAD ADDRESS WILL BE RECOGNISED BY THE PANEL
The maximum recommended cable length using standard 0.2mm security cable is 50m. Cable runs exceeding this
distance may require 0.5mm cable. Always use good quality cable. Some installations may require CAT5 data
cable to ensure data integrity in noisy sites.

Page 11
FUNCTIONS
The PowerWave LED Keypad consists of; an 18 button, backlit silicone rubber keypad, 14 LED indicators and an
internal piezo buzzer housed in a modern white plastic housing. The plastic housing has a hinged front lid to cover
and protect the rubber buttons when not in use. All the electronics are contained on a single circuit board inside the
housing.
Because the keypads communicate with the controller using data, the cable run from panel to keypads is secure
against tampering. For this reason there is no tamper switch on the keypad assembly. Access to the keypad
electronics will not disarm the panel.
BUTTONS
The 18 silicone rubber buttons are used for the following functions.
In normal operating mode the numeric keys are used for entering Access Codes. In Program Mode the numeric
keys are used for entering options & new values.
The buttons with text labels are used as function buttons and select the options indicated by the text and normally
precede other button presses, e.g. to enter Bypass Mode press <BYPASS> and the numeric key corresponding to
the zone number you wish to be excluded.
The PROGRAM Key is used to prefix option selections in the program modes e.g. <PROGRAM> 4 <ENTER>
selects User Code 4. The PROGRAM key is also used prior to a Master Code to enter user program mode from
normal operation mode.
The ENTER Key is used to enter access or program codes. It is normally used at the end of a button sequence.
The CONTROL button, if enabled, is used to isolate day zone audible alarms if temporarily not required and/or to
directly control outputs if programmed.
LED INDICATORS
The LED indicators are used to display system conditions including Zone status, Battery state, Tamper etc. Please
refer to the LED table on page 10 for a full explanation of the conditional displays.
INSTALLING RXINSTALLING RX--40 WIRELESS RECEIVERS40 WIRELESS RECEIVERS
The PowerWave-8 is fully compatible with the new RX-40 Wireless receivers. The addition of this receiver will add
wireless capability to your system in the form or wireless PIR detectors, Wireless Remote Controls/Medical
Pendants, Wireless Reed Switches and Wireless Smoke Detectors. The Receiver connects to the same
communications port as the keypads and can be installed either inside the cabinet, or if preferred, may be installed
at a remote location. The Receiver is available in 3 frequencies, 303.875mhz, 433.92mhz or 27mhz.
Multiple receivers can be added to the system to gain better reception if needed.
The receiver requires 4 cores and can successfully be run in 0.2mm unscreened cable over a distance of up to 100
metres. Like the keypads the Receiver has 12v connections labelled POS and NEG which are wired to the 12v
supply and CLK and DATA terminals for connection to the communications bus.
The green LED fitted to the receiver will indicate when the unit is in "Learn" mode (Flashing -see address 601)
or when it is receiving an actual wireless transmission (On Steady)

This address (230) is used to program the duress digit. The duress digit is a number from 1-9 (“0” means the duress
function is disabled) .To create a duress alarm the duress digit must be entered before a valid user code (e.g. If the
code was “2580” and the duress number was “4”, then entering a code of “42580” “Enter” would create a duress
alarm).

LCD KEYPAD PROGRAMMINGLCD KEYPAD PROGRAMMING
LCD Program Mode allows the programming of a customized “System Name” (the name displayed during idle
mode at the keypad), Customized “Zone Names” (the text that appears on the keypad when a zone is unsealed)
and renaming of the Partitions e.g. the default Partition names are “A” for the first partition and “B” for the second
partition but you can rename them “1” and “2” if you wish.
LCD PROGRAM MODE
To enter LCD Program Mode Press <CONTROL> and <ARM> for 2 seconds.
(NOTE: You must press the “Control” button first and the “Arm” button must be pressed within 2 seconds of
pressing the Control button). If you make a mistake press the “Enter” button then repeat the process.
The display will now show “Local Mode kb #” where the # equals the keypad address as set by DIP
switches 1-3 on the keypad PCB (refer to information on page 10).
When you have entered “LCD Program Mode” and you have entered
one of a program address e.g.
<PROG>-<1>-<ENTER>, the display will look like this;
The Cursor will be underneath the first letter to be edited (in this case
the “Z”).
Use the arrow keys to move the cursor backward and forward.
Press the corresponding Alpha-Numeric key to replace the current digit. (Just like making a text message on a
mobile phone)
<MEM> toggles between upper and lower case.
<ENTER> saves the text
<A> returns back the last saved text
<B> returns back the default text

PROGRAMMING OPTIONSPROGRAMMING OPTIONS
Output States
NOTE: With all output programming options we refer to outputs 1-8. Only outputs 1-4 are available as
standard, with outputs 5-8 requiring the connection of the optional 4 way output expander unit that
connects to the keypad bus ( the output expander provides 4 change-over relay contacts).
This block of addresses (31 -38) are used to map output modifiers to each of the 8 outputs available on the
PowerWave.
Address 31 ŒInvert output -Default off
•Flash output -Default off
ŽSingle pulse to output -Default off
•Lockout output once reset -Default off
