1.3. System Overview
The iConnect Control System is a full-featured wireless control system that is expected to provide a solution to the
needs of most residential installations. This system has been developed based upon a design concept geared towards
easy installation and use. With this in mind, the user interface is based on a simple, menu-driven model that suits the
essential requirements of both the user and installer alike. You can program the iConnect Control System on-site using
the on-board LCD keypad or PC, or off-site via a PC using local programming option of the Remote Programmer.
The system offers GPRS and Ethernet network connectivity, providing high-speed central station reporting via a GPRS or
Ethernet interface. The Electronics Line Application Server (ELAS) handles all communication between the system, service
providers and web users enabling monitoring and control to be performed via the Web. Backup communication is carried
out by Communication module via PSTN or GSM.
Central station communication and remote parameters programming and maintenance employ Ethernet, GPRS, GSM or
standard PSTN communication. SMS messaging provides an innovative method used for both central station and Follow-
Me user monitoring. Additionally, SMS messages can be sent to the Control System enabling the user to send commands to
the system from anywhere on the planet.
The Control System’s home automation capabilities provide a wealth of features. The Home Automation module interfaces
with X10 units over the powerline network and grants the user appliance control via a number of different media.
**The measurements are with fully charged battery. AC current was measured on fuse F1 and DC current was measured on fuse F2.
Power connection to the unit should be according to the national electrical code for
permanent installation.
The power supply should be fed from a readily accessible disconnect device.
If the unit is permanently wired to the mains power, use a 2-pole disconnect device (15A max.)
and the wires should be min. 0.75mm2in a conduit of at least 16mm.
If the mains power is connected with a plug, the plug should be indicated as the disconnecting
device and the socket shall be max. 2m from the Control System.
Batteries shall be provided by a distributor and replaced by authorized service personnel.
The backup battery pack should be replaced every five years.
Batteries should be stored in a cool, dry place.

2. System Installation
The following chapter explains how to install the system and provides guidelines and tips on how to optimize the
installation. It is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the various circuit boards that make up the system –
see p. 4, 1.4 Hardware Layout.
2.1. Pre-Installation Planning
Before starting the installation procedure, it is worthwhile to draw a rough sketch of the building and determine the
required position for the Control System and each wireless device.
When deciding on the placement for installation, consider the following:
Mount the Control System in a location with easy access to telephone and power connections.
Mount the Control System in a location that provides easy connection to the router.
For best performance of the GPRS Communication module, the Control System should be mounted in
a position where the GSM signal is strong.
Refer to the following section in order to choose the optimal location for wireless devices in relation to
the Control System.
2.1.1. Wireless Installation Guidelines
In order to optimize wireless communication, consider the following guidelines:
Whenever possible, mount the Control System centrally in relation to wireless sensors.
Avoid installation in close proximity to sources of high noise or radio frequency interference. For
example, metal air conditioner/heater ducts and circuit breaker boxes.
Minimize the distance between the Control System and transmitters.
Minimize the number of obstacles between the Control System and transmitters.
Figure 2-1: Minimizing Obstacles
Metal based construction materials, such as steel reinforced concrete walls, reduce the range of radio
transmissions.
Figure 2-2: Considering Construction Materials
The reduction of the RF signals’ strength is directly proportional to the thickness of the obstacle,
assuming that the obstacles are of identical material.

Figure 2-3: Considering Thickness of Obstacles
2.2. Installation Procedure
After unpacking the kit and making certain that you have all the necessary equipment, it is recommended that you
install the system as follows:
STEP 1: Open the housing.
STEP 2: Temporarily power up the system.
STEP 3: Register the transmitters.
STEP 4: Test the chosen mounting location.
STEP 5: Program the relevant Internet options.
STEP 6: Permanently install the Control System and transmitters.
2.2.1. Step 1 – Opening the Housing
To open the housing:
1. Remove the housing screw located at the bottom of the front cover as shown in Figure 2-4.
2. Insert a screwdriver between the front and back panels of the housing, carefully twist it to release the
tabs.
3. Lift the front cover away from the back of the housing. You will notice that the front cover is attached
to the back with two fastening bands and the hardwire LCD keypad’s flat cable.
Figure 2-4: Opening the Housing
2.2.2. Step 2 – Powering Up the System
In order to register and test transmitters, it is necessary to temporarily power up the system before installing the
Control System. At this stage, do not connect the backup battery.
Thread the power cable through the wiring hole on the back cover and connect the cable to the AC power input on the
Main board. For the exact location of the AC power input, see p. 4, 1.4.1 The Main Board. Close the front cover and
apply AC power. At this stage, ignore any trouble conditions that may appear on the LCD display (e.g. Low Battery).
2.2.3. Step 3 – Registering Transmitters
For the Control System to recognize a device, its transmitter must be registered. In general terms, transmitter
registration means sending two transmissions from a device when the Control System is in Registration mode.

2.2.6. Step 6 – Installing the Control System and Transmitters
Having chosen and tested the mounting location of the Control System and each transmitter, you are now ready to
permanently install the system.
To permanently install the transmitters, refer to each device’s installation instructions (in Appendix B of this manual or
supplied individually with each product).
To install the Control System:
1. Disconnect AC power from the Control System.
2. Open the housing as explained in Step 1 – Opening the Housing.
3. Remove the backup battery pack. If you want to install the Control System with back tamper, it is also
necessary to disconnect the flat cable connecting the Main board to the front panel keypad and remove
the Main board. Figure 2-5 shows the Control System with the Main board and the battery pack removed.
Figure 2-5: Back Cover (Main Board and Battery Pack removed)
4. Place the Control System in position against the wall and mark the upper and lower mounting holes. If
using the back tamper, also mark the hole for the back tamper screw.
5. Install wall anchors in the appropriate positions.
6. Thread any required cables through the wiring hole on the back cover (e.g. AC power, HA interface,
Ethernet cable, and telephone line) and make any necessary wiring connections:
a. Connect the power cable to the AC power input on the Main board – see p. 4,1.4.1 The Main
Board.

b. Connect the telephone line to the Telephone Line terminal block on the GPRS module (PSTN
connector) – see p. 7, 1.4.4 GPRS Communication Module.
c. Connect any additional hardwire LCD keypads if required – see p. 13, 2.4 Installing Hardwire
LCD Keypads.
7. Mount the Control System to the wall using four screws and insert the back tamper screw if required –
see p.13, 2.3 Back Tamper.
Note: The Control System must be mounted so that it shall withstand a force of at least three times its own
weight.
8. Replace the Main Board and reconnect its peripheral modules.
9. Connect the flat cable connecting the Main board to the front panel keypad and replace the front cover’s
fastening bands.
10. Apply AC power.
Caution:Always connect AC power before connecting the battery pack. Batteries are supplied
uncharged. When you first connect the battery, it is probable that the system will
display a Low Battery condition. Allow the battery to charge for at least 18 hours
before use.
11. Connect the battery pack to the connector on the Main Board.

2.3. Back Tamper
The back tamper switch is an optional feature that provides an extra safeguard in the event that the Control System is
removed from the wall.
The back tamper switch is located on the rear side of the Control System’s Main Board and is constantly depressed by
the section of the back cover shown in Figure 2-6.
Figure 2-6: Perforated Back Tamper Release
For this feature to operate, you must insert a screw into the back tamper mounting hole – see p. 12, Step 6 – Installing
the Control System and Transmitters. When the Control System is removed from the wall, the screw causes the
perforated section of the plastic to break and remain attached to the wall. As a result, the back tamper switch is
released and an alarm is generated.
To meet the requirements of EN-50131 standard, the back tamper is mandatory.
2.4. Installing Hardwire LCD Keypads
The system supports hardwire LCD keypads that may be installed up to 300m (1,000 ft) from the Control System.
