INPUTS
The Elite V6 has 10 separate programmable monitored analogue inputs,
8 x Programmable, multi-state detection inputs
1 x Programmable tamper input
1 x Programmable keyswitch input
Each input must be terminated with a short or the appropriate combination of end-of-line resistors,
depending upon the programmed configuration.
ZONE INPUTS - Each of the 8 zone inputs can be independently assigned one of the following configuration options;
Type 1(8Z) 8 Zone Short circuit input No-End-of-Line (EOL).
Type 2(8Z) 8 Zone Single-End-of-Line 2k2 (EOL) with no tamper.
Type 3(16Z) 16 Zone Double-End-of-Line (EOL) No Tamper.
Type 4(16Z) 16 Zone Double-End-of-Line (EOL) With open & short circuit Tamper.
The following table shows end-of-line resistor configurations. The reference to LEDS in bold below relate to the
program option setting at addresses P310E & P319E. The options 1-8 at addresses P310E & P319E relate to zone
inputs 1-8. If an input is set to EOL at address P319E then it relates to the single zone being a 2K2 resistor but if

INPUTS Cont.
KEYSWITCH - This input can be used to control the panel via a keyswitch, digital keypad or similar. This is a multi-
state input which can be end-of-line configured in the same way as the 8 zone inputs. These multiple end-of-line
configurations will produce either set/unset or stay mode on/off on an individual partition basis.
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 (P211E1E) either normally closed loop
or 2k2 EOL supervision. 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.
AC - Connect the two low voltage wires (no polarity) from the transformer to the terminals marked AC on the Elite
PCB. The Elite includes a Telepermitted transformer rated at 1.4 amps at 17 volts and incorporates an inbuilt
thermal protection fuse.
EARTH - Always connect the mains earth to the appropriate terminals on the mains terminal block in the steel
cabinet. Also connect a lead from this earth point to the terminal marked "Earth" on the Elite PCB.
BATTERY - Connect a sealed lead acid rechargeable 12V d.c. battery to these red and black battery leads. The
minimum recommended battery capacity is 7 amp hours. Battery charge current at these terminals is limited to
300mA maximum.
LINE IN - This pair of terminals is used to connect the Elite 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 Elite controller. The telephone line is passed through the Elite controller to ensure that
the line is available to the controller when it is required. Full details regarding the communicator can be found in a
separate section.
OUTPUTS
12 VOLT OUTPUTS - There are four 12 volt dc outputs available on the Elite PCB. They are fuse protected suitable
for powering detectors, sirens and other external devices. These outputs are marked 12v and 0v, and are supplied
by fuses F1 and F2. A maximum total load of 1 amp may be drawn from these terminals. The fourth set of fused
(F2) 12V terminals are found adjacent to the keypad comms clock and data 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.However If options 2 or 3 are turned Off at address P210E (2 relating to output 1 and 3
relating to output 2) then the output becomes a siren output designed to drive an 8 ohm 10 watt horn speaker with a
modulated siren tone. Also if a horn speaker is connected to Output 1 you may select the listen-in feature to
this output at address P213E as well so that the dialling sequence can be heard at the speaker.
OUTPUTS 3,4,5,6,7&8 - 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 3,4,5,6,7&8 may cause
permanent damage to the Elite controller output concerned.
COMMUNICATION PORTS
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 Elite 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.
SERIAL PORT - The serial port is for the connection of the RS232 serial board, the optional VOICE Board, DTMF
Board or the optional DTU (data transfer) board. The serial board allows for printing of the 255 event buffer to a
serial printer or for pc direct up/down load connection. The VOICE board allows for alarm reporting and remote
control with speech messages, the DTMF board allows for remote control using tones, both from a remote
telephone. The DTU board to allows program back-up and re-instatement.

KEYPAD 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 Elite PCB keypad port.
Once the cables have been terminated and the required address allocated (see section below) clip the front half of
the keypad onto the base by first engaging the clips at the top edge and then close the front down and clip it in at the
bottom. Now stick the zone list provided to the inside of the hinged lid.
WIRING
The PowerWave keypad connects to the Powerwave Controller via a 4 or 5 wire data & power connection. A maxi-
mum of 8 LED keypads can be connected, each wired in parallel. A 5th wire may be used to provide a "Listen-in" fa-
cility at the keypad when an PW communicator panel is being used.
The maximum recommended cable 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 data cable to ensure data
integrity in noisy sites.

KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
The PW LED Keypad consists of; an 18 button, backlit silicone rubber keypad, 30 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 program addresses & 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 a two digit numeric key entry
corresponding to the zone number you wish to be excluded eg “01” for Zone # 1, “09” for Zone # 9 and “15” for Zone
# 15.
The PROGRAM Key is used to prefix option selections in the program modes e.g.<PROGRAM> 24 <ENTER>
selects User Code 24 when in either of the two program modes. The PROGRAM key is also used prior to a Master
or Installer Code to enter one of the program modes from normal operating mode.
The ENTER Key is used after entry of a sequence of numbers (eg entry of a User code to Arm or Disarm the
system). As a User code can be 1-6 digits in length, the panel will not accept a code entry until the Enter key is
pressed.
The CONTROL button, if enabled, is used to produce an output without an alarm event. This control output can be
used to operate other external devices such as garage door openers, door locks, lights or other options as required.
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 12 for a full explanation of the conditional displays.
KEYPAD TAMPER (wrong code alarm)
A wrong code or Keypad Tamper alarm is generated by the Elite after 4 consecutive invalid code entries. The
controller will not “Lock-Out” the keypad at this point but simply create an alarm condition that may be reported to a
monitoring company via the dialer. Entry of a valid user code will reset the Keypad Tamper alarm however, the
alarm event will be written into memory and the keypad memory light will be flashing indicating the presence of a new
memory entry.

Page 13
VIEW MEMORY MODE
This PW version 6.20 and up alarm panel has an event memory which stores the most recent events (up to 255
events) including all alarm events, all system events such as mains failure etc as well as settings. This event
memory is displayed via the standard keypad with the most recent event shown first and subsequent events
following in descending order from newest to oldest.
The "MEMORY" light will flash on and off when there is a new event in memory which has not been viewed. To
stop the "MEMORY" light flashing, simply press the MEMORY button and the event memory will be flashed back to
you with the most recent event shown first. Each event is separated by a beep tone.
Current System Alarms
When viewing the memory event buffer at the keypad by pressing the “MEMORY” button, the first thing that will
always be displayed is the Current System Alarms that are still present. The Current System Alarms are indicated
by the Memory/Mains & Battery LEDS being on plus a zone LED from 1-8 to indicate the system alarm/s present. If
no Zone LED’s are on at this time, it means that there are no current system alarms. If a zone LED or LED’s are On
then this indicates system alarms that have not yet cleared. The zone LED’s 1-8 are pre-defined as to what system
alarm they will display. These system alarm indications are shown in the table below. Following the display of
current system alarms the panel will then sequence through the 255 historical memory events starting at the most
recent event. The second table shows the alarm events that can be displayed in memory mode and what indicators
are used to show them.

INSTALLATION OF RX-40 RECEIVER
The PW16 is fully high level compatible with the RX-40 radio receiver. The addition of this receiver will add wireless
capability to your system in the form of wireless PIR detectors, Wireless Radio key transmitters and wireless reed
switch transmitters. The RX-16 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 RX-16 is available in 2
frequencies, 303.875mhz or 433.92mhz. Multiple RX-16 receivers may be connected to the panel to increase the
effective range if required.
The RX-16 receiver requires 4 cores and can successfully be run in 0.2mm unscreened cable over a distance of up
to 100metres. Like the keypads the RX-16 has 12v and 0v terminals for connection to the 12v supply and CLK and
DATA terminals for connection to the communications bus.
The green LED fitted to the RX-16 receiver will indicate when the unit is in "Learn" mode (LED Flashing) or when it is
receiving an actual radio transmission (On Steady)
INSTALLATION OF VOICE or DTMF BOARD
The PW16 control communicator can also be fitted with a 90 second Voice Board or DTMF module. The Voice
board stores either alarm event messages for Voice dial monitoring and /or status messages for use with Command
Control. The DTMF board provides decoding of keypad numeric entries from a remote telephone. The Elite V6 Voice
or DTMF Boards are installed directly onto the motherboard via the "SERIAL" socket.
Installation procedure for the Voice or DTMF Board module is as follows.
1 Power-down the Elite fully before starting the installation procedure.
2 Carefully plug the Voice or DTMF Board into the SERIAL socket.
3 Power-up the Elite.
Once you have installed the Voice Board you can record your personalised speech messages into the module with
the speech programmer. The programmer plugs onto the 10 way strip connector on the voice board and must be
installed with the Brown wire towards the PW control board heatsink. Some programmers are fitted with a
polarisation pin on the connection socket which will prevent incorrect insertion however, some earlier units are not .
To record your messages once the programmer is installed, first press the reset button on the side of the Voice
Board, then hold the programmer about 10 cm away from the mouth and speak clearly at normal level into the
microphone while holding down the "REC" button. When you reach the end of your message release the REC
button. (NOTE: Each individual message must be longer that 2 seconds duration). When recording your voice alarm
message, you must ensure that you clearly identify the origin of the call. You can play the message back through the
programmer by first pressing the reset button then by pressing the "PLAY" button momentarily. Because the Elite V6
control communicator has the ability to store multiple alarm event and control voice messages, you must store
individual messages at what is known as recording slots within the Voice Board. These recording slots are recorded
sequentially, one message starting where the other finishes. Every time you press and release the REC button of
the programmer, you create an end of message marker. These markers are used to define the recording slots within
the Voice Board and can be of varying length according to each message duration.
To re-record a message you must first press the "RESET" button on the speech module to get back to recording slot
#1. Once you are at slot #1 you can re-record your messages in order as required.
NOTE: When recording multiple messages you only press the “RESET” button once at the beginning then record all
messages sequentially as stated above. When you have finished recording all of your messages you can then press
the “RESET” button to allow play-back of the recording messages for verification purposes.
When you have finished recording your alarm messages, unplug the programmer and the process is complete.

PROGRAMMING YOUR PowerWave
ACCESS TO INSTALLER PROGRAMMING ON POWER UP
When power is applied to the controller for the first time, with the panel tamper input open and none of the
Areas either fully Armed or in Stay mode, the panel will inhibit tamper alarms and ready the panel to enter
PROGRAM Mode( unless the Installer Lock-out option P210E7E has previously been enabled). At this point you
can go to any keypad which is connected to the panel and;
Press –”PROGRAM”-”ENTER”
which will automatically put that keypad into full Program mode, Program LED Flashing.(NOTE:Only one keypad
can be in Program mode at any time)
ACCESS TO PROGRAM MODES FROM RUN MODE
Before you can enter program mode from the normal Run Mode, the panel must be unset and not in stay mode.
Then;
Press <PROGRAM> - <Code 1(or Master Code)> - <ENTER>
Program light steady
Note: Default Master Code (Code 1) is 1,2,3
You are now in Client Program Mode. When you are in Client programming mode you have access to program
addresses P1E to P24E (user code programming). To Enter Installer Program Mode from Client Program Mode;
Press <PROGRAM> - <Install Code> - <ENTER>
Program light flashing
Note: Default Install Code (P99) is 0,0,0,0,0,0
By default the installer can go directly to Installer Program Mode from Normal Run mode provided No Areas are
Armed or in Stay Mode. The Installer Mode direct option can be disabled at address P210E Option 7.
HOW TO PROGRAM
The programming sequence always follows this pattern;
<PROGRAM> - <1,2 or 3 digit address> - <ENTER>
3 short beeps if OK - 1 long beep if error
The leds will display current value or status
Enter the new value or option
<New Value> - <ENTER>
3 short beeps if OK - 1 long beep if error
An example of programming is shown below. Here we are programming User Code 23 (P23E) with the code
number of 2580.
P 23 E 2,5,8,0 E
In this example the <P> represents the PROGRAM key, <23> represents the actual program address, 2580 is the
data and <E> represents the ENTER key.
TO CLEAR PROGRAM INFORMATION (From Install Mode Only)
There are multiple options available for clearing program information (Reset to
defaults). These are detailed on page 38.
e.g.To reset User Codes 1-24 (P 720E)
Press <PROGRAM> - 720 - <ENTER>
3 beeps - Program light flashing
After resetting the various defaults, all options associated with that function (eg User Code Defaults P720E) will be
set to the default values shown in the Program Summary at the rear of this manual. The default settings have been
chosen to simplify the installation process by minimising the amount of programming necessary to get the system
fully functional.

TO EXIT PROGRAM MODES
To exit program modes when you have finished programming:
Press <PROGRAM> - <ENTER>
Program light goes out
The panel is now back in normal Run Mode, any program changes you have made will have replaced previous
values and be in effect.
Note: During programming Tampers and 24 hour alarms are disabled which allows quiet access to the panel,
detectors and satellite siren units etc. On exiting program mode, all inputs are scanned and if any tampers or 24Hr
alarms are present an activation will occur.
PROGRAMMING USER CODES
P1E to P50 E
There are 51 codes available in the PowerWave16 , 50 user codes and 1 install code. The user codes are located
in addresses 1-50. By default, Code 1 is the Master Code because it has full access to enter program mode. Other
user codes can be programmed as master codes also if required. The Installer code is stored at address 249 and is
used to move from Client Program mode up to Installer Program mode.
Codes 1-50 may be varied in length from 1 to 6 digits. Code 249 must be 3-6 digits.
To program a User Code you must first be in client or installer program mode, then select the address from
1-50. (If there is already a code programmed at this address, it will be flashed back to you)
NOTE: Not all User Codes may have the ability to access Client Program Mode. The installer can restrict access to
Users so that they have no access to Client Mode or they can have access to change only their code or they may
have access to change all User codes as defined at addresses P101-P150.
To change User code 1 from the default setting of 1,2,3 to 9,8,7,6 you would enter the following data at the keypad.
P 1 E
(Old code is flashed back at the keypad, in this case it will be 1,2,3)
Then 9876 E
3 beeps - program light On or Flashing
The new code will now be displayed back using the keypad LED’s
To program a new user code for User 5 you would enter the following;
P 5 E
(If a code was there it would be displayed if not the display will be blank )
Then 567 E
3 beeps - program light On or Flashing
The new code will now be displayed back using the keypad LED’s
Note: Where there are multiple options at one address, options 0 & 9 have been reserved. Entering a 0 at
the address will turn all options off whereas entering a 9 will turn all options on.
User 1 Code
12 3

To replace a code simply enter the new code in the same address as the old code. This will overwrite the previous
code but maintain the user permissions as mapped to that user number.
To clear or delete a code in LED Keypad simply press the BYPASS button at the address where the old code is
stored. eg. P 3 E <BYPASS> E 3 beeps - Program light On or Flashing
When flashing back codes and values Zone indicators 1-8 are used to indicate digits 1-8. The digit 0 is indicated by
the "A" LED and 9 is indicated by the "B" LED
To clear or delete a code in LCD Keypad simply press the CONTROL + 0 buttons at the address where the old
code is stored. eg. P 3 E <CONTROL> + 0 E 3 beeps

USER CODE TIME CONTROL
P151E-P200E
Users codes may have Time Zones assigned to control their operation. These Time Zones determine when a
particular user code will work. Addresses P151E - P200E are used to map the user code to the required Time
Zones. The actual Time Zone parameters are defined at addresses P791E - P814E.
More than one time zones can be assigned to a code. The time zones are numbered 1-8 and are selected by the
numeric buttons 1-8 on the keypad. A value of zero (0) entered at any of these addresses is fixed as 24 hour seven
day access and is the default time zone for all 50 user codes.
P151E TZ E Where TZ represents any Time Zone from 1-8 valid for User Code #1
P152E TZ E Where TZ represents any Time Zone from 1-8 valid for User Code #2
P200E TZ E Where TZ represents any Time Zone from 1-8 valid for User Code #50
NOTE: The ability to assign more than one Time Zone to each user allows for different time based controls
for different days of the week.
INSTALLER CODE
P249E
This code is used to enter full Installer Program mode (Program light flashing) from Client Program mode (Program
light steady) The default installer code is 000000. To change this code you Must first be in Installer Program Mode
then enter your new installer code at the P249E address. The new code will be flashed back to you automatically.
The Installer Code may vary from 3-6 digits in length.
If the alarm is Unset then the Installer Code can gain access directly to Installer Program Mode provided Option 6 at
address P310E is on. If any partition is armed then the installer code can only gain access to Installer Program Mode
from Client Program Mode.
PROGRAMMING OUTPUT OPTIONS
P201E-P208E
This block of addresses (P201E - P208E) is used to map output modifiers to each of the 8 outputs available on the
PW16. The optional 4 way relay output board (OUTPUTX4) can be configured to follow the program options for any
of the 8 outputs, the 4 relays can be assigned as output 1 or 5, 2 or 6, 3 or 7 & 4 or 8.
P201E 1E Invert output #1 - Default off
2E Flash output #1 - Default off
3E Single pulse to output #1 - Default off
4E Lockout output #1 once reset - Default off
5E Output mapped to Remote Command Control - Default off

Option 1 Invert Output - This option is used to invert the normal state of the output. The PW16 uses open
collector type transistor switches and the default state of all outputs is off or high. When in alarm the
transistor switch is turned on and the output is switched low. The invert option reverses this function.
Option 2 Flash Output - This option causes the output to switch on and off at a rate set by the pulse timer for the
output when in alarm and is normally used to flash a lamp during an activation.
Option 3 Single Pulse to Output - This option, when applied, produces a single pulse set by the pulse timer at
the output during an alarm.
Option 4 Lockout Once Reset - This option is used to limit the output to one operation per arming period.
Option 5 Output mapped to Remote Command Control - This option is used to map an output to the remote
command control function whereby the output can be controlled via the telephone (this requires the
optional voice board or DTMF unit)
Option 6 Output mapped to Local Command Control - This option is used to map an output to the local
command control feature whereby the output can be controlled directly from the keypad. The DTMF
command control code at address P371 is used for this local control function.
Option 7 Day Zones Linked to Pulse Timer - Day Zones programmed to this output will pulse at the rate
programmed for the pulse timer to this output for the duration of the day zone to Output timer (e.g. if the
day zone is in partition A, then the timer at P571E applies)
Option 8 Pulsed 24 hour alarm - If a 24 hour zone activates the alarm this option will cause the output to pulse
at a rate equal to the value set for the pulse timer for this output. This feature is provided to differentiate
between a burglar and fire alarm using the same siren.

Option 1 Keypad Panic to Output - This option is used to map the operation of the keypad panic button to an
output i.e. when the Panic button (or 1 & 3) on a keypad is pressed any output with this option enabled
will turn on.
Option 2 Keypad Fire Alarm to Output - This option is used to map the operation of the keypad Fire Alarm
(buttons 4 & 6) to an output i.e. when the Fire Alarm (4 & 6) on a keypad is pressed any output with this
option enabled will turn on.
Option 3 Keypad Medical Alarm to Output - This option is used to map the operation of the keypad Medical
Alarm (buttons 7 & 9) to an output i.e. when the Medical Alarm (7 & 9) on a keypad is pressed any
output with this option enabled will turn on.
Option 4 Duress Alarm to Output - This option is used to map a Duress Alarm to an output. A Duress Alarm is
generated when the alarm is unset by a valid user that adds the duress digit to the beginning of their
code
Option 5 Wrong Code Tamper Alarm to Output - This option is used to map the Wrong Code Tamper Alarm
to an output. A Wrong Code Tamper Alarm is generated if an invalid code is entered more than 4 times
