Installation
Location and Mounting of Panel
The system should be mounted in a dry area, with access to an AC Mains power source and
incoming telephone line.
Mount the enclosure securely to a brick wall using Number 8 - 25 mm long screws to the 3
mounting holes as shown in the diagram above. Do not switch on or connect the backup battery
until all other wiring is complete. Take precautions against damage by static discharge by using
an antistatic wrist strap tied to a suitable earth point
Transformer
For Australia and New Zealand, the transformer is in the form of an approved 3 pin plug pack .
The plug pack should be connected to a socket with a protective earthing connection.
Warning Notice (Australia/New Zealand Installations)
This equipment must only be installed and maintained by qualified Service Personnel. Connect the Protective Earth (Plug Pack)
before the telephone line cord. Disconnect the telephone line cord before the protective Earth (Plug Pack). The protective Earth
wire should be connected to the earth stud on the metal case.
For Europe: The mains transformer is supplied in the enclosure. The mains installation should
be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with Electrical Wiring Regulations (BS
7671). The mains cable should be connected to the supplied 3 pin terminal strip. Use a mains
flexible cord with conductor diameter minimum 0.75 square millimeters. The transformer
secondary output is connected to the AC 14(JP51) terminals.
Do not share the transformer secondary with any other equipment. Do not connect
the transformer until all other wiring is completed.
Backup Battery (JP2)
Connect a 12V 7 AH sealed lead-acid battery to the BATT (JP2) terminals using the supplied
Battery Cable. This will give more than 24 hours of standby power to the system if 200 mA or
less of auxiliary current is used. Do not connect the battery until all wiring is completed.
The system may not operate correctly without a backup battery.
Cable Routing / Requirements
The minimum cable type to be used for detection devices, siren or sounders should be 6-core
alarm cable (7/0.2mm). This has a resistance of approximately 8 ohms per 100 meters.
Shielded Twisted pair (STP) CAT 5 cables are recommended for Keypads and Door Stations.
Each cable runs from the panel separately, in a star or home-run configuration. Use of
untwisted/unshielded cables may cause noise interference to be heard on the Keypad/Door
station.
Where spare conductors are available in multicore cable runs, they should be used to double-up
the 12V power supply cables to the each control station to reduce circuit resistance and further
improve current performance. Ensure that all RS485 communication lines and detection
circuit cables are kept away from mains supply cables.
Speaker and Strobe (JP10)
Connect a 12V strobe to the 12VF and STR- outputs if needed. Observe the polarity. For US
Installations use a UL approved strobe, eg Wheelock LS1-12-VFR. In the event of an alarm, the
strobe is turned on until the system is disarmed. The Strobe and speaker terminals have a
combined current limit of 1 A, protected by a resettable fuse (F3)
The backup battery must be connected for the Siren to work properly.
An 8 ohm 5W (minimum) speaker may be connected to the SPK- and 12VF terminals. Polarity is
not important for a speaker.

Speaker and Strobe connection
The speaker may be used as an internal siren, but is not meant to be the primary audible alarm
indicating device.
The speaker gives 2 levels of sound volume: For alarms, the full volume is produced. For trouble
and information tones, as when arming, a lower, adjustable level of sound is produced. This
volume may be adjusted by trimmer VR1 near the SPK terminals.
Siren (JP9)
SRN+ Siren (+) output has constant 12 volts to be connected to the Siren box
SRN- Siren (-) output is normally floating, but pulled to ground to activate siren.
The Tamper terminals of the Siren/Bellbox can be connected in series with the Case tamper
switches. Alternately the Siren/Bellbox tamper terminals can be connected to a spare zone input
on Comfort which is programmed as a Tamper Zone Type.

If the siren/bellbox sounds softly as soon as it is connected connect a pull-up resistor
(1K-ohm) placing between the SRN+and the SRN- ’terminal. If you wish to work on the
siren/bellbox connections or open the control panel, you can prevent the system from causing a
tamper alarm by entering Engineer Test Mode via Eng. Menu 8,6, 1 for on. Upon deselecting
this option 8,6 ,0 for Off, the system will enter Security Check Mode and will report any faults
through the keypad. Tamper Alarm means the Panel Tamper or Bellbox Tamper switch or
Connections are open or incorrect.

Telephone Connections
Connect the incoming telephone line to the TEL IN Terminal Block. Connect the telephone wires
going to the house phone(s) to the TEL OUT Terminal Block. The system will work with any
tone-dialling telephone.
Telephones, facsimile machines and other telecommunications equipment may be connected to
the Telephone OUT socket.
Do not connect any other equipment between the incoming telephone line and the
control panel. Also, do not connect any other telephone equipment including fax
machines and PABX in parallel with the control panel. Violating the above rules may
prevent the control panel from seizing the telephone line to dial out during an alarm
condition.
ADSL Connection
An ADSL modem on the same telephone line as Comfort should be connected before Comfort on
the TEL IN connection as shown in the figure

Microfilter
ADSL Modem
Single Line Telephone Connection with ADSL
A micro filter must be connected between the ADSL modem and Comfort. Comfort is connected
to the “Telephone” end of the micro filter. It will not necessary to use micro filters for the other
telephones in the house. The telephones should be connected to Comfort TEL OUT, and NOT to
the ADSL modem. This will ensure that Comfort can still dial to the programmed telephones in
case of an alarm
For Installations where the ADSL Modem needs to be connected after Comfort, eg to a
telephone point in the premises, the APB01 module as (ADSL/Protection Board) is available -
see figure below

The APB01 module plugs directly into TEL IN and TEL OUT and provides another set of terminal
blocks to connect the telephone line and telephone out wires. The APB allows broadband signals
to bypass Comfort to the ADSL modem, at the same time helping to protect the equipment on
the TEL OUT side, including the ADSL Modem and other telephone devices because it has the
telephone protection circuitry built in.
Parallel Phone Connections
Comfort II Quick Installation Guide

Equipment should not be connected in parallel to the TEL IN connector except for an ADSL
modem.
Connection to Keyphone and PABX systems
A key telephone system may be to the TEL OUT socket. To access the system with a key
telephone, press the button which selects the incoming line to which the system is connected,
and press *, sign-in code and # in the usual way. The system cannot be connected as an
extension of a key telephone system. Remote telephone access can be achieved by dialing into
the exchange line to which the system is connected.
A PABX may be connected to the TEL OUT socket. A telephone may be connected in parallel to
the PABX, to be used for local system access. Remote telephone access can be achieved by
dialing into the exchange line to which the system is connected. See Figure 2.8 for connection
With this method of connection, the extension phone will not be able to access the
system if the CO line for Comfort is in use. Also, for remote access, the user must dial
the actual number and not the hunting line to ensure that Comfort can receive the
call.

It is also possible to connect the system as an (analogue) extension of a PABX, for
non-monitored systems. A normal telephone may be connected to the TEL OUT socket for
system access and for use as a normal extension phone. In this connection method, Comfort
can take messages from any of the incoming CO lines if the extension is programmed to ring on
all incoming calls. Other extension phones can access the system by dialing the extension to
which Comfort is connected.
The programmed telephone numbers for dialing out must include the access digit usually “9” or
“0” to obtain an outside line.
Tamper Input (JP1)
A tamper switch may be connected to the TAMPER input (2 pin Terminal J4). If not used, short
the J4 terminal block with a wire. This terminal may be connected to an external tamper switch
of a bell box as well as to the tamper switch of the control panel enclosure as in the figure
below. The tamper switches may be connected in series as shown below. The Alarm type
activated when the circuit is broken is Tamper (Alarm type 11).

Alternatively, any zone may be programmed as a Tamper zone type.
Zone Input Terminals Z1-Z8 (JP3 - JP6)
For US installations, all wiring shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code
ANSI/NFPA 70-1990.
Each zone may be wired as Normally Closed (NC) or Normally Open (NO). Any unused zones
should be programmed as Zone Type 0 with the zone inputs left open and corresponding zone
header (JZ1 to JZ8) with a shunt (shorting link) in the position closer to the terminal blocks for
No End Of Line resistor
Normally Open and Normally Closed contacts cannot be connected to the same zone.
Circuits without EOL Resistor
Wire zones according to Figure 2.9 for Normally Closed Contacts and Figure 2.10 for Normally
Open Contacts.
The corresponding 3-pin header for the zone, JZ1 to JZ8 (for zone Z1 to Z8) should
have a shunt (shorting link) inserted nearest the terminal block (2 to 3) when no EOL
Resistor is used In this configuration, the system does not differentiate between contact open
and open circuit wiring (tamper) condition, or contact closed and short-circuit wiring (fault)
condition. The Zone Settings in the Engineer menu determine if the contact is Normally Closed
(N.C.) or Normally Open (N.O.). N.O. and N.C contacts cannot be connected on a single zone.
To provide a global tamper protection for these types of zone configuration, assign one zone
as a ‘tamper’ zone type 20 and connect all zone wiring tampers in series connected to this
tamper zone.
Normally Closed Contacts without EOL Resistor
Circuits with 2 EOL Resistors

connected in parallel with the last contact. The 2700 ohm resistor should be connected in series
with the detector in order to be able to distinguish a ground fault (short-circuit) condition from
a contact closed condition. The corresponding Header JZ1 to JZ8 should have a shunt inserted
in the position away from the terminal block (1-2). Smoke and Heat Detector zones are
programmed as Fire Zone Types. A Pulsed On/off siren pattern indicating Fire Evacuation is
produced when this zone type is activated (by default). If the zone wiring is cut or open-circuit
or shorted, a Zone Trouble alarm is generated.

Connection of Multiple Detectors to a zone
The system has the unique ability to announce the type of the activated zone during Security
Check (during arming), alarm history, alarm tracking, and event log. So if more than one
detector is connected to a zone input, it should ideally be of the same type and in the same
location, for example, magnetic contacts for several windows in the same room.

Do not mix Fire Detectors with Burglary Detectors under the same zone
Negative Applied Detectors
Certain types of detector such as outside PIR’s and photocells provide an open-collector output
as a trigger rather than a relay output. This type of signal can be connected directly into a zone
terminal providing it is a negative signal in one state and ‘floating’ in the other state. If the
signal goes negative when detecting, use a normally-open zone type such as Normally-open
switch. This is suitable for light sensors or external non-alarming detectors which may be used
as monitors to drive Responses for lighting and CCTV applications.
Current Sensor Module
Use CSM03-CT current Tranformer and CSM03-PCB Current Sensor Pcb to monitor AC current
for appliances and lights. Refer to the CSM03 manual at
http://www.cytech.biz/csm_manual.html
Output Terminals OP1 - OP8 (JP11-JP14)
Each of the 8 outputs may be connected to infrared LEDs, indicator LEDs or external relays.
Each output is an open-collector transistor output (pull to ground) capable of supplying 200 mA,
but total current from these outputs together with the switched (S12V) and unswitched auxiliary
power (12V) terminals should not exceed 500 mA, and protected by a resettable fuse (F2). If
higher current is required, an external supply may be used instead of the 12V terminals.
Connection to Relays
Connect 12V relays to outputs according to the figure below Relays should be connected
between the 12V terminal and the output terminal. They should be located near to the
enclosure. The RLY01 has 4 x 12V relays which can be used for this purpose.

Connection to Infrared LEDs
There are 3 types of IR transmitter modules which can be connected to the outputs; IRM01 for
longer distances (up to 8 meters range), IR01W or IR03W for short range transmissions (up to
1 meter range) The manuals for IR transmitters can be downloaded from
http://www.cytech.biz/infrared_transmitter_manual.html
12V Auxiliary Supply Outputs (12V and S12V)
12V and GND supply 12V to devices which require power e.g.. motion detectors. The S12V
terminal provides 12V to external devices which require resetting when activated, e.g.. smoke
detectors.
Comfort can be programmed to turn off S12V when needed, either when the system
is disarmed or when the system is being armed. Latched Smoke detectors and Shock
detectors need to be reset when the system is being armed.
