1. Introduction
The Rascal Super is an electronic microprocessor controlled intruder alarm system. Its design
makes it simple to program and install. This allows the system to be tailored to the individual
users needs. Before attempting to program the system the engineer should be familiar with all
the features and options that are available .
2. System Planning
The Rascal Super is supplied with a factory set default configuration which allows the panel to
be used immediately without any additional configuration. Please check defaults for suitability.
The Rascal Super intruder alarm system consists of a main control panel and up to 3 remote
keypads. The main control panel should be out of sight but remain accessible for
programming or test. The engineer and end user should discuss and agree on the location of
any remote keypads fitted to the system. This should be agreed after full explanation of the
proposed entry/exit routes and any other system functions such as part guard, home guard,
chime or PA.
3. Mounting the Rascal Super Panel
(a) Remove the two cover screws and remove the cover
(b) Remove the three screws securing the PCB to the pillars (one screw is under the keypad
which also has to be removed)
(c) Place the control panel in the proposed mounting position and mark the 3 holes.
(d) Mount the control panel securely using the 3 mounting holes.
4. Mounting the Remote Keypads
(a) Having agreed the position(s) of any remote keypad(s) to be fitted. ( The keypads can be
either angled up or down by inverting the backbox.)
(b) Remove the two cover screws and remove the lid .
(c) Mark the holes for the mounting position, two diagonal fixings are normally adequate.
(d) Screw the back box in the agreed position.
(e) Note the rear entry for cabling.
5. Wiring the Remote Keypad
(a) The remote keypads require 6 core cable for their connection to the main control panel.
(b) Connect the cable as shown below.
(c) Individual keypads do not need to be identified to the system.

6. Wiring the Control Panel
a) Mains Connection
The mains supply to the control panel is connected via a 3 way terminal block located in
the bottom centre of the control panel. Mains should be supplied to the control panel via
a fused spur.
b) Battery Connection
The Rascal Super requires a 1.9AH battery to be fitted to provide power in the event of a
mains failure.
c) Detector Circuits
Connections are provided for up to five detector circuits. These connectors are for closed
circuit detection devices. A common tamper loop is required for all detection devices.
The circuits are located on the bottom LHS of the control board.
d) Internal Sounders
A connection is provided to allow internal extension speakers to be fitted . Up to two
16Ω extension speakers may be fitted to the system.
Note : To reduce the volume of the speakers cut the resistor (option 1) shown on the PCB
drawing.
e) External Sounder & Strobe
Connections for the external sounder and strobe are shown below. Note bell trigger
shown is with output programmed for applied negative (negative bell trigger).
(i) ST-Strobe switched negative
(ii) S-Bell switched negative trigger
(iii) H-Siren hold off (open circuit in alarm)
(iv) + Bell hold off supply
f) AUX DC Detector Power
Auxiliary power is provided from the connections at the bottom RHS of the main PCB and
the Bell+. These provide power for detectors and other devices requiring external power.
The auxiliary power output is rated at 500mA and 12V (nominal).

g) PIR Latch Line (L+)
A control line is provided for latching detector. This is a low (0V) when 'unset' and high
(12V) when 'set'. It is marked L+ on the main control board.
h) Detector Reset (ID)
A control line is provided for resetting devices which require the removal of power to reset
(e.g. smoke/viper detectors). Power to these devices should come from +12V Aux to
+12V of the device and ID to 0V (Negative) of the device. The ID line pulses off (open
circuit) at the start of the exit condition (half second pulse) and gives a 3 second pulse at
reset.
i) Remote Keyswitch
Two types of remote keyswitch can be connected to the Rascal Super system. One type
in the remote keypad and one type as a separate option connected to the main PCB.
j) Remote Keyswitch (in keypad)
The Rascal Super control panel can be operated from a remote keyswitch. The keyswitch
is mounted in the remote keypad. To install the keyswitch, power down the system (if
powered), remove the cover by the two screws and the clip holding the blanking in
position. When this is complete, remove the nut from the barrel of the keyswitch and fit
the keyswitch in the cover. Check that the arrow on the keyswitch faces upwards when in
the OFF position. Fit the cable onto the the PCB connector -black or green cable to the
bottom. Refit the cover.
k) Stand alone Keyswitch
This is wired to the PG, COMM and OFF connector on the main PCB. This keyswitch
will give off, full set and part set. Protection is provided by the panel going into full set if
the switch is open or the cable out.
