Input Options
Different Input Configurations
The Runner 8 has nine separate programmable monitored analogue inputs.
These are:
!Eight programmable multi-state detection inputs
!One programmable tamper input (with optional Key-switch functions)
The input connector block is located on the board.
NOTE
Each input must be terminated with the appropriate value or combination of
End-Of-Line resistors, even if the input is unused.
Zone Inputs
Each of the Eight programmable zone inputs can be assigned one of the following End of Line
(EOL) configuration options,

Other Inputs
Tamper
A 24Hr tamper circuit is available for monitoring system tampers. This Tamper circuit is
programmable as either normally closed loop or 2k2 EOL supervision (the default is normally
closed loop). Any Tamper alarms on this input are mapped to alarm outputs in the same
manner as for detection zones 1-16. Using Dual-End-of-Line resistors (Refer to Zone Type 15
on Page 13) the Tamper input can also provide two key-switches. The Low key-switch (4k7
resistor) is Key-switch 1 while the High key-switch (8k2 resistor) is Key-switch 2.
In addition to the Zone & Tamper inputs, you will find the following additional inputs on the
control PCB;
AC
Connect the two low voltage wires (no polarity) from the transformer to the terminals
marked AC on the PCB. The panel includes a mains transformer rated at 15.5VAC.
Earth - not used
In case of using metal box 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 panel PCB.
Battery
Connect a sealed lead acid rechargeable 12VDC battery to the terminals labelled red and
black on the control panel being careful to observe the correct polarity. The maximum
recommended battery capacity is 7 amp hours. Battery charge current at these terminals is
limited to 260mA maximum. The battery connection is protected against short circuits by a
thermal fuse (F1).
Line In
These terminals are used to connect the panel to the incoming telephone line. The dialler
uses this line for reporting alarm events. An ADSL filter will be required before the Line in
terminal, in case there is ADSL in the building.

RUNNER - Installation & Config. Guide
15
Line Out
These terminals are used to connect telephones and other communication equipment to the
incoming phone line via the panel dialler circuit. The telephone line is passed through the
controller to ensure that the line is available to the controller when it is required.

16
Outputs!
Description of Outputs
12 Volt Outputs
There are three 12VDC outputs on the panel PCB. These 12 volt outputs are regulated and
Thermal fuse protected against short circuits. The accessory outputs are marked 12V and
0V, while the keypad buss 12V supply is labelled “POS” & “NEG”. The 12V outputs are
supplied by thermal fuses F2 & F3. The maximum total load that allowed to be drawn from
all of the 12V outputs during an alarm is 0.9A.
Outputs 1 & 2
These fully programmable, high current, open drain (high-going-low) type FET outputs
capable of switching up to 1.5A @ 12VDC. 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 on each
output (see P37E option 1). Also if a horn speaker is connected to Output #1 you may
select (Refer to P175E 7E program address) the listen-in feature to this output as well so
that the dialling sequence can be heard at the speaker.
Output 3 & 4
This is a low current, open drain (high-going-low) type FET outputs capable of switching up
to 500mA. Like Outputs 1 & 2 it is fully programmable. You cannot use with option 1 at
P37E on outputs 3 & 4.
NOTE
Connecting devices which draw current in excess of 500mA to output 3/4 can
damage the output.
Relay Out
This is a relay is related to Output 4 with single pole changeover contacts. If required, the
Common (C) contact of the relay is connected by default to GND via JUMPER, the jumper can
be selected to 12V or removed.
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 controller. The terminals are
connected to corresponding terminals on the remote devices. The "line" 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 supply
(POS,NEG) is protected by fuse F3.

RUNNER - Installation & Config. Guide
17
Expansion Port
The expansion port allows connection of the RS232 serial board, 90 second Voice Board,
DTMF Board or EEPROM data transfer board (DTU). The serial board allows direct connection
of a PC running the Upload/Download software. The 90 second voice board allows voice
messages to be programmed for monitoring purposes. The Voice & DTMF boards allow
Touchtone Code remote control via a telephone. The DTU allows for program “Cloning” from
one panel to another.

18
Accessories
Radio Receiver
The panel can have wireless capability via the FW-RCVR receiver module. The receiver will
add wireless capability to your system in the form or wireless PIR detectors, Wireless Radio-
key transmitters and wireless reed switch transmitters.
The FW-RCVR connects to the same communications port as the keypads. The FW-RCVR is
available in 3 frequencies, 916MHz,433MHz,868MHz. Multiple FW-RCVR can be connected to
the panel to increase the coverage range if desired.
The red LED fitted to the FW-RCVR receiver will flash at 1 second intervals when in "Learn"
mode (see P18E & P164E). The LED will also turn on when it is receiving an actual radio
transmission (On Steady).
Voice Board
The panel can also be fitted with a 90 second Voice Board module. The Voice board stores
either alarm event messages for Voice dial monitoring and /or status messages for use with
Command Control. The panel Voice Board are installed directly onto the motherboard via the
SERIAL socket.
Installation procedure for the Voice Board module is as follows.
1. Power-down the panel fully before starting the installation procedure.
2. Carefully plug the Voice Board into the SERIAL socket (it will only fit in one direction).
3. Power-up the panel.
Speech message programming
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).
Before programming your voice messages you should work out a list of the messages you
would like to be sent for each alarm type and write them down in order, giving them a
message number. These messages should then be recorded in the same order they are
written down so you know what the message number is letter when programming alarms to
messages.
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 panel can address many individual 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 on 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.
