1 SAFETY RELATED INFORMATION
•PRiMA16 alarm control panel is an electric evice,
that requires AC 230V 50Hz supply for its operation.
•Lack of care uring installation may impose serious
hazar for health or life!
•An alarm panel shoul only be installe by a quali-
fie technician.
•All operations that require an access to primary
(mains) circuits shall only be performe with the cir-
cuit shut own, e.g. by using a circuit breaker.
•It is forbi en to use fuses with ifferent rating than
specifie in the technical ocumentation an /or
nameplate.
•A great care shoul be pai to proper selection of
the mains transformer, an to use a properly rate
security circuit (if a transformer with multiple sec-
on ary circuits is use ).
•After the installation is complete , the enclosure
which contains mains connection shall be secure
to avoi access by unauthorize person.
•All packaging materials (plastic bags, bubble wrap),
after unpacking, shall be kept away from the reach
of chil ren.

2 MANUFACTURER'S RESPONSIBILITY
A security system is a complex installation, containing
multiple components that require proper selection an
configuration. The installation shall be performe by a
qualifie technician, able to consi er multiple technical
requirements of a particular site. GENEVO takes no re-
sponsibility for improper configuration or behavior of a
security installation.

HANDLING OF WASTE ELECTRONIC
EQUIPMENT AND WASTE BATTERIES.
PRiMA16 system components are electronic evices,
ma e accor ing to the requirements of WEEE irective
on han ling of waste electronic equipment.
As a confirmation, the equipment is labele with a
crosse -out wheelie bin symbol, as require by the i-
rective.
This symbol on the pro uct, its packaging or
ocumentation means that it shoul not be
ispose of with a househol waste. It is your
responsibility to ispose of the waste equip-
ment separately from the municipal waste.
Contact your local authorities to fin the nearest place
of collection of waste electronic equipment, or look up
the list publishe on www.genevo.eu .
The security system may be equippe with a
lea -aci battery as a backup power source.
The waste battery shall be properly ispose
as require by the 2006/66/EC irective with
further up ates.

4 GENERAL INFORMATION
PRiMA16 by GENEVO is a mo ern intru er alarm con-
trol panel inten e for security installations for small
an me ium-size premises: flats, houses, shops,
workshops etc. Its feature list covers typical nee s of
these systems. It stan s out of the competition by it's
easy installation, straightforwar an intuitive pro-
gramming an , unmatche user frien liness. A huge
a vantage of PRiMA is the integrate GSM communi-
cator, allowing reporting to central station, personal
notification using voice channel an text messages,
an remote control using mobile phones. All this make
the protection by PRiMA truly effective.
System operation is performe by the means of LCD
keypa s with graphical user interface, which make the
access to all system functions easy an intuitive.

7 INSTALLATION AND DEVICE
CONNECTION
7.1 SELECTION OF MOUNTING LOCATION FOR
SYSTEM COMPONENTS
•Alarm control panel shall be installe in a secure
area, with no easy access by unauthorize person-
nel.
•If GSM signal in the installation location will be ina -
equate for proper operation of the system, an exter-
nal GSM antenna installe in an optimal location
might be require .
•An enclosure shall be mounte so to allow the ac-
cess with proper tools for opening an closing it.
•Before the final installation of the enclosure on the
mounting surface, PCB spacers shoul be inserte
into proper holes of the enclosure.
•The keypa s shall be locate near the entry/exit
oors, that allow using shortest possible entry/exit
elays.
•The keypa s optimally shall be installe just below
the sight level. In ivi ual user requirements shall
also be consi ere , like the possibility to operate
the system by the chil ren.
•Out oor soun ers shall be installe in har -to-reach
location, so the tamper risk coul be minimize .

•During the placement of the etectors, their manu-
facturer's specification shall be consi ere as well
as the common in ustry practice.
7.2 ENCLOSURE AND CONTROL PANEL MAIN
BOARD INSTALLATION
To avoi making any amage to the main
boar , static electricity shall be ischarge be-
fore attempting any installation work on the
electronics. This can be performe e.g. by
touching a groun e , con uctive surface.
The proper or er of actions uring the installation of
enclosure an the main boar is as follows:
1. Position the mounting holes in the wall – use the
level to mount the enclosure horizontally. Use the
wire fin er tool to avoi making unintentional am-
age to the wiring route below holes location when
rilling the wall.
2. Put the PCB spacers into enclosure's PCB mounting
holes, by inserting them from the back. Take care
to use the holes that fit the PRiMA hole spacing.
3. Prepare the opening for mounting SMA antenna
connector.
4. Fix the enclosure to the wall.
5. Insert the main boar onto the plastic spacers. Take
care to press the PCB by it's e ges, close to mount-
ing holes. Applying excessive force to the center of
the PCB may cause serious amage to it.
6. Mount the antenna connector to the enclosure

wall:
•unscrew the locking nut from the threa e SMA
connector bo y,
•insert the SMA connector bo y through the pre-
pare enclosure opening,
•fix the securing nut from the outsi e, while locking
the connector bo y against turning using a proper
wrench, to lock the SMA connector in the enclosure
wall. Failure to lock the connector bo y while
screwing the nut may cause permanent amage to
the antenna cable.
7. MAKING ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
To avoi the risk of electric shock, isconnect
an secure isconnecte 230V/110V mains
circuit before commencing any installation
work!
7. .1 Connection of primary power source to
the control panel.
•Connect the secon ary transformer circuit (16-
18VAC, 40VA min.) to AC terminals of the control
panel. The control panel shoul be the sole evice
connecte to this transformer circuit.
•Connect the primary transformer win ing to AC
230V supply circuit, equippe with a proper circuit
breaker.
•The supply circuit which is use for powering the

control panel shoul be always on uring normal
use, an the user shoul be notifie on the means
to turn off the circuit (e.g. by in icating a circuit
breaker use to switch off the circuit).
7. .2 Connection of keypads and expansion
module to the Bus.
•Recommen e cable for Bus connection is an In-
tru er Alarm copper cable, 6 cores 0.2mm2 section
(0.5mm iameter).
•Connect +VX, COM, DX an CX terminals in the key-
pa /expansion mo ule with the same name termi-
nals in the control panel.
•Connecting multiple evices within a single system,
the same name terminals shall be connecte to-
gether.
•A star, bus or mixe connection topology is allowe .
•Maximal total length of cables connecte to Bus ter-
minals shall not excee 300m.

7. . Connection of detectors
•Several ways of connection of etectors to the con-
trol panel are possible, using multiple line termina-
tion configurations.
•PRiMA panels supports the following line termina-
tion configurations:
NC – normally close , without supervision.
line close – not violate (zone seale ),
line opene – violation.
NO – normally opene , without supervision.
line opene – not violate (zone seale ),
line close – violation.
EOL – single line termination resistor, basic supervi-
sion.
