Installation and use MR16 13
3 – SYSTEM DESIGN
3.1 WARNINGS FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION
Maximum distance in the connection between two radio sets is determined by the strength and cleanness
of signal from receiving set. A number of factors may either reduce the strength of received signal or
interfere with signal reception. With proper contrivances, these factors can be removed or minimised.
The strength of radio signal is affected either by the absorption of materials the signal is to run through or
by radio waves reflection phenomena. Below table shows how the different materials affect the power of
transmitted radio signal.
Low absorption Medium absorption High absorption Reflection
Wood (e.g. cabinets,
furniture), plastic,
synthetic materials (e.g.
plexiglas), glass, drilled
bricks (e.g. partition
walls).
Water(e.g. aquariums),
integer bricks, marble. Concrete, bulletproof windows, metal
structures (e.g.
household appliances,
piping, railings)
Mirrors, metal surfaces
In some cases, the signal may practically extinguish, e.g. inside metal cabinets.
On the contrary, radio signal may be jammed by not sufficiently screened electronic equipment, electric
motors or other devices working in radio frequency.
For radio devices correct installation apply following precautions:
•position the devices far from sources of electromagnetic noise, such as electric motors, electric panels,
etc.;
•do not mount the devices on metal surfaces or close to large metal objects, or inside metal structures,
such as metal boxes or cabinets;
•should chosen position not allow suitable radio communication, try to displace the device to another
position to see if radio communication is improving.
Warning: always displace peripheral unit (detector, siren, etc.), not radio module.
To position the various devices, comply with following rules:
•Radio module MR16:
omust be mounted close to wired alarm control panel, possibly not on walls made of either concrete
or integer bricks;
oits position must allow to see warning LEDs easily;
oits position must as much as possible be a “middle” position with respect to the various radio
devices.
•Micro contact DC500:
omust be placed inside protected premises;
othe detector must be placed on door or window frame and the magnet must be placed on door or
window frame wing or leaf, as far as possible from pintles or hinges.

14 Installation and use MR16
•Indoor IR detector IR500:
othe detector must not be placed where dust might build up;
othe detector must not be placed near sources of heat or where it may be hit by direct sun light, or
in areas possibly subjected to sudden changes in temperature (e.g. under an air conditioner);
othe detector must be mounted on a rigid surface, free from vibrations, at height ranging between 2
and 2.2 metres;
ofor its positioning, refer to detection diagrams (the detector must be able to cover the area to be
protected);
oavoid that in protected area exist blind zones — because of furniture, shelves, plants etc. — within
which a possible intruder can move;
oproperly aim the detector at the area to be protected, especially if the detector is mounted at
height over 2.2 metres;
oif necessary, more detectors can be mounted in the same environment, without any fear of
interferences.
•Indoor siren IS500:
omount the siren on a flat surface, which cannot be easily reached by any stalkers.
•Outdoor siren HP500:
omount the siren in vertical position, on a flat surface;
omount the siren in a position which is clearly visible from the outside and from frequently walked
by places, and cannot be reached without a ladder.
3.2 OPERATING MODES
3.2.1 Detection devices alarm status
Should a micro contact detect door or window opening, or an IR detector identify a movement in controlled
area, then radio module MR16 will arm LED corresponding to the input; relating relay output will behave
according to programming performed. When the cause of alarm status dies down, the LED goes off.
For precise operating modes of relay outputs relating to inputs, see paragraph 4.1.4 Configuration of radio
module MR16.
3.2.2 Physical sabotage
Should a physical sabotage attempt be detected caused by the opening of the tamper of one or more
devices, then radio module MR16 will react as follows:
•LED will blink;
•PHYSICAL SABOTAGE relay output will be armed according to what decided in programming step.
At the closing of all tampers, relay output will be disarmed, while LED will blink until alarm details are
checked.
3.2.3 Radio sabotage or radio communications jammed
Should either a radio sabotage (jamming) attempt be detected or any one of the devices (detectors and
sirens) not reply to supervision message, then radio module MR16 will react as follows:
•LED will blink;
•RADIO SABOTAGE relay output will be armed.
At full recovery of radio communications (no jamming and/or supervision working with all devices), relay
output will be disarmed, while LED will blink until alarm details are checked.
3.2.4 Battery low condition
Should one or more devices be in battery low condition, then radio module MR16 will react as follows:
•LED will blink;
•BATTERY relay output will be armed.
When no device will warn about battery low condition, that is when all low batteries will be replaced, relay
output will be disarmed and LED stop blinking.

Installation and use MR16 15
4 – INSTALLATION
4.1 RADIO MODULE MR16
4.1.1 Fastening
1. Open radio module MR16 as illustrated in figure 2.
Figure 2
2. Prearrange passages for cables of connection to wired alarm control panel.
Radio module container base is prearranged with pre-fractured passages (figure 3): if rear
passages and not side passages are to be used, first remove the electronic board, taking off the
four screws that are placed at the corners (figure 4).
Figure 3 Figure 4
3. Secure radio module to a flat wall, using fixing plugs supplied. Figure 5 shows possible
alternatives:
•Hanging from slot Aand then blocked by holes Band C. In this case, the electronic board
has not to be taken off.
•Secured to an embedded box with 3 modules, using holes D.
•Secured to an embedded box with 2 modules, using two holes E.
Warning: to assure antiremoval protection to radio module, hole Cmust always be used too.

16 Installation and use MR16
Figure 5
4.1.2 Connection to power supply
Radio module MR16 takes power supply at 12 V— out of wired alarm control panel it is connected to.
Before making the connection, check for wired control panel to be able to provide current requested by
radio module, that is that overall absorption of control panel, devices, connected to control panel, and
radio module does not exceed the current which control panel power supply unit is able to supply.
Power supply cable must be connected at one side to pins + and – of radio module and at the other side
to wired alarm control panel 12 V— output. In connection, observe polarities!
Warning: wired control panel side connection must be downstream of control panel power supply
unit and backup battery to assure radio module MR16 power supply also in lack of network power
supply (230 V).
Figure 6
Note: should control panel not have a current reserve sufficient to supply radio module MR16 too, radio
module MR16 can also be supplied by an additional power supply unit provided with a backup battery,
such as AS02/6.

Installation and use MR16 17
4.1.3 Connections to wired alarm control panel
Relay output connection
Connect radio module relay outputs (figure 7) to wired alarm control panel inputs according to what
indicated in the table. Do not exceed voltages and currents accepted for solid state relays. The status of
the relay at rest (normally open or normally closed) is defined by DIP switches (see paragraph 4.1.4
Configuration of radio module MR16 configuration). The LED between the two DIP switch banks indicates
radio module MR16 armed/disarmed status.
Warning: the black dot identifies the pin, which, where the output is polarised to either 12 V or
0 V, switches over, following the input and its programming. The pin without a black dot has either
12 V or 0 V fixed potential independently of the status of associated radio device.
Where the radio output is not polarised, the two pins are similar to the ones of a circuit breaker.
Figure 7
Every wired alarm control panel follows specific conventions in naming its inputs and in the type of
connection (normal, balanced or with double balancing) to be made. In the table, for wired control panel
inputs, generic denominations are used. Refer to wired control panel instructions to identify correct inputs
and type of connection to be made.
Warning: where radio module is connected to a wired control panel, you are warned against
programming, on wired control panel, functions (e.g. “Insertion Block”) preventing the system from
being armed when inputs are open.

18 Installation and use MR16
Output Jumper Description
OUT1 ÷ OUT8 J1 ÷J8
Outputs directly associated to detection devices (micro contacts and IR
detectors). Each relay can be associated to two detectors (detectors 1 and 9
at output 1, detectors 2 and 10 at output 2, etc.).
When an input device warns about an alarm, the relay switches over
depending on radio module MR16 configuration. Table Operating modes
of output relays OUT1 ÷OUT8 shows possible output operating modes.
Outputs used are to be connected to wired control panel detector inputs.
SAB J9
If PHYSICAL SABOTAGE function is enabled by programming, the relay
switches over if at least one device warns about physical sabotage
(tamper open). The output can be connected in series to wired alarm
control panel tamper input.
RF SAB J10
If JAMMING DETECTION and/or SUPERVISION ENABLING functions
were enabled by programming, the relay switches over whenever radio
sabotage (jamming and/or missing supervision) is detected. The output
can be connected to wired alarm control panel sabotage input (or in
series to tamper input, where sabotage input is missing).
BATT J11
The relay is armed where one or more devices warn out that battery is
low. The output can be connected to wired alarm control panel faulty
input.
ON/OFF J12
The relay is managed with remote control RC500.
When, on remote control, you press radio module MR16 arm control, the
relay switches:
•first to OFF and remains OFF for 500 ms and then to ON and remains
ON for 400 ms, if it is configured as NC,
•first to ON and remains ON for 500 ms and then to OFF and remains
OFF for 400 ms, if it is configured as NO.
When, on remote control, you press radio module MR16 disarm control,
the relay switches:
•first to OFF and remains OFF for 1000 ms and then to ON and
remains ON for 400 ms, if it is configured as NC,
•first to ON and remains ON for 1000 ms and then to OFF and remains
OFF for 400 ms, if it is configured as NO.
The output can be used to arm and disarm wired alarm control panel,
connecting the output to the “mechanical key” input of wired control
panel, if it is provided with it.
SYS ST J13 Relay output follows radio module MR16 armed or disarmed status.
This output can be used to display radio module MR16 status, e.g. by
connecting an external LED.
The polarisation of each output can be changed by modifying the position of corresponding jumper.

20 Installation and use MR16
Connecting inputs
Radio module MR16 is provided with inputs through which it can learn wired system status and receive
commands from the system. Input polarity (reference to either positive or negative polarisation) is defined
by DIP switch B6 (see paragraph 4.1.4 Configuration of radio module MR16).
Below table shows connections to be made:
Input Description
S This input must be connected to an output of wired control panel which follows
control panel status.
The value of voltage depends on input polarity chosen:
•positive polarity (DIP switch B6 = ON): by applying 12 V voltage, the module, if
armed, is disarmed; taking off the voltage, the module, if disarmed, is armed.
•negative polarity (DIP switch B6 = OFF): by applying 0 V voltage, the module, if
armed, is disarmed; taking off the voltage, the module, if disarmed, is armed.
BL This input is used to drive wireless sirens, by acknowledging a voltage at its pin.
This input must be connected to an output of wired control panel which is armed
when the sirens are armed. By applying 12 V voltage to the pin, radio sirens are
silenced; taking off the voltage, the sirens ring.
