INTRODUCTION
This installation guide is intended as an aid to installing the OmniLT automation system. The installer should also have
thoroughly reviewed and understood the OmniLT Owner's Manual, which has important information regarding final setup of the
system. This manual assumes that the installer has a basic understanding of installing a security system.
This guide applies to the Model 21A00 OmniLT controller. Refer to the Underwriters Laboratories Installation Requirements
section for details in the application of each. Failure to install the OmniLT and its accessories in accordance with the UL
Requirements in this manual and in the Owner's Manual, is a violation of the Listing Mark.
INSTALLATION
Go over your plan with your customer.
1. Install the entire system. Refer to sections in this manual to see how to install various components.
2. Follow the Power-Up and Checkout procedures.
3. Explain the basics to the customer. Deliver all manuals and documentation.
4. Follow up with your customer to keep them satisfied.
CONTROLLER HOOKUP
1. When choosing a place to mount the controller, consider the following:
a. A duplex outlet, preferably on its own circuit, is required to be within 5 feet of the controller for the power transformer and
the X-10 Interface Module (if used).
b. The controller should be protected from weather, temperature extremes, and burglars.
2. GROUND THE CONTROLLER "GND" TERMINAL TO A COLD WATER PIPE OR TO A 4-FOOT GROUND ROD TO
PRESERVE ITS BUILT-IN TRANSIENT PROTECTION. USE 14 GAUGE WIRE. TRANSIENT PROTECTION WILL
NOT WORK IF THE CONTROLLER IS NOT PROPERLY GROUNDED.
3. Connect the 16.5 VAC power transformer to the 16 VAC INPUT terminals.
4. Connect the BLACK battery wire to the minus (-) terminal on the battery. DO NOT connect the red wire at this time. DO
NOT reverse the connections; the battery fuse will blow. Note that the unit will NOT START on the battery alone.
5. If used, plug the X-10 Interface Module into the X-10 modular connector to the right of the PHONE connections. Use the
supplied 4-conductor modular cable to connect the module to the jack on the processor board. The red LED on the interface
module should be on and will blink off when the interface receives a signal from the controller.
6. Refer to FIGURE 1 (CONTROLLER HOOKUP) for this configuration.

ABOUT SECURITY ZONES
Zones 1-8 on the controller and zones 9-24 on the expander may be configured as security zones, fire zones, temperature zones, or
auxiliary inputs. Zones 7 and 8 on the controller and zones 9-16 may also be configured as a PESM. Zone 8 is the only input that
can be configured as a UL Supervised Fire Zone (required for UL installations). Any other zone may be configured as Fire Zone,
however, it is not recognized by UL as a Supervised Fire Zone.
An external 1000-ohm end-of-line zone resistor is required for all zones unless the Setup item ZONE RESISTERS is set to "No".
If the Setup item ZONE RESISTORS is disabled, all zones other than Supervised Fire and Gas will not use an end-of-line
resistor. In this configuration, all zones switches (other than Supervised Fire and Gas) must be normally closed (open for alarm).
If any zone requires a normally open (closed for alarm) switch (other than Supervised Fire and Gas), the Setup item ZONE
RESISTORS must be set to "Yes" and all zones will require and external 1000-ohm end-of-line resistor.
The zone type for each zone is selected through the OmniLT SETUP menu on the console or by using the PC ACCESS software.
The system supports a maximum zone resistance, excluding the end-of-line resistor, of 150 ohms. The default setting for ZONE
RESISTORS is "Yes". The default settings for all zone inputs on an OmniLT controller are configured as Auxiliary inputs.
BURGLAR ZONE HOOKUPS
The OmniLT system supports both normally open and normally closed switches. Most contacts designed for doors, windows,
motion detectors, glassbreak detectors and other security devices meet this requirement. An external 1000-ohm end-of-line
resistor must be used for all zones if ZONE RESISTORS is set to "Yes".
When ZONE RESISTORS are set to "No", only normally closed switches can be used.
1. When using a normally open switch, a 1000-ohm end-of-line resistor must be in parallel with the zone being used. Maximum
loop resistance excluding end-of-line resistor should not exceed 150 ohms. ZONE RESISTORS must be set to "Yes".
2. When using a normally closed switch, a 1000-ohm end-of-line resistor must be put in series with the zone being used if
ZONE RESISTORS are set to "Yes". If ZONE RESISTORS are set to "No", the 1000-ohm end-of-line resistor is not used.
Maximum loop resistance excluding end-of-line resistor should not exceed 150 ohms.
3. Power motion detectors from AUX 12V.
4. Unused zones may be left open, and should be left at the default setting of AUXILIARY zone types.
5. When Zone 8 is configured to anything other than a Supervised Fire or Gas zone, the Zone 8 Jumper (J9) should be set to the
NRM (normal) position.
6. See FIGURE 2 (OVERALL CONNECTIONS DIAGRAM) for configurations of burglary zones.

TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS
1. If an RJ31X jack has been supplied by the telephone company, it is probably wired correctly and the controller can be
connected by plugging the supplied 8 conductor telephone cable into the RJ31X jack. The other end of the cable is spaded
(remove the spade connectors from the wires used). The green, red, brown, and gray wires must be connected to the
controller at the designated terminals under the section of the board marked 'PHONE'.
2. If required, install the supplied RJ31X jack as shown in the following diagram. The polarity must be correct for proper
operation of the phone access feature.
3. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE PHONE LINE COMING INTO THE HOUSE BE CONNECTED TO A GROUNDED
SURGE ARRESTOR OUTSIDE THE PREMISES. IT IS THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE TELEPHONE COMPANY
TO PROVIDE THIS SURGE ARRESTOR.
4. INSPECT THE INCOMING PHONE LINES. THE FIRST THING THAT THEY SHOULD GO TO IS A SMALL BOX
ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE PREMISES. THERE SHOULD BE A HEAVY GROUND WIRE COMING FROM THIS
BOX GOING TO A COLD WATER PIPE OR A SEPARATE GROUNDING ROD.
5. IF THERE IS NO SURGE ARRESTOR OR IF THE GROUND WIRE IS MISSING, HAVE THE CUSTOMER INSIST
THAT THE TELEPHONE COMPANY INSTALL ONE FOR THE SAFETY OF THE CUSTOMER.
6. WHEN WIRING A RJ31X JACK, MAKE SURE THAT THE INCOMING PHONE LINES GO TO THE TELEPHONE
COMPANY SURGE ARRESTOR BEFORE THEY GO TO THE RJ31X JACK.
7. When the RJ31X is installed as shown, locate the green, red, brown, and gray wires from the 8 conductor phone cable and
connect to the section on the OmniLT controller marked 'PHONE'. Plug the modular end of the cable into the RJ31X jack. If
necessary, bend the tab up on the plug to ensure a tight fit that will not fall out.
8. Verify the following if you have trouble during check out: With the system running, the RJ31X jack properly connected and
all phones on-hook (hung up), the PHONE LED, located on the left side of the controller, should be OFF. If it is on, reverse
the RED and GREEN wires to both the house phones and the telephone company wires at the RJ31X jack. When the
receiver is picked up on any phone, the PHONE LED will come on. When the phone line rings, the PHONE LED will light.
9. If the OmniLT is accessed on an in house telephone, the OmniLT will disconnect the phones from the phone company lines
and supply its own talk voltage to the phones. The PHONE LED will be on in this case.
10. Refer to FIGURE 5 (RJ31X JACK CONNECTIONS) for this configuration.

1. 4 LCD Consoles (Models 11A00-1, 11A00-2, 11A00-9, and 15A00) MAXIMUM per system, subject to power availability.
2. Use 4-conductor 22-gage wire, 1000 feet maximum length. Consoles can be homerun or daisy chained. This length shall be
divided by the total number of consoles at the end of the run. For example, for 4 consoles, the maximum length reduces to
250 feet. All LCD Consoles are connected to the same 4 wires, RED (+12), BLK (Ground), YEL (A), GRN (B).
3. The console should be mounted so that the LCD display is at or slightly above eye level. Consoles should be kept out of the
reach of young children. A good height is approximately 58 inches from the floor to the bottom of the console enclosure.
4. Remove console face from back plate (slots on bottom of console will release back plate, use a screwdriver). Mount the back
plate to the wall. Mounting holes are designed to fit on a single or double gang box, or directly to the wall. Pull the wires
from the wall through the opening in the back plate. Splice the wires to the supplied cable. Connect the cable to the
connector on the console board (J1). Snap the console face on to the back plate. Remove protective film from the LCD lens.
5. Refer to FIGURE 6 (CONSOLE CONNECTIONS) for this configuration.
CONSOLE SETUP
The console has different operating options that can be setup from the console to the user's preference. If more than one console
is being used, it is required that you give each console a different address. You can change the address of a console through the
console setup mode.
To enter the console setup mode, simultaneously press and hold the 4 and up arrow (!) for approximately 1 second. The console
will beep 5 times and enter the setup mode. The top line of the display will indicate what you are doing, followed by the current

BELL OUTPUT
The Bell Output provides 12VDC to power bells, piezo sirens, self-contained sirens, and siren drivers (do not connect speakers to
the Bell Output). Sounders can draw up to 1 amp MAXIMUM - (See Specifications for UL Ratings).
1. Locate interior sounders in a central location. The sounder is very loud. Do not install it in a room where small children or
animals could be trapped if the alarm is activated. Note that the Bell Output defaults to an Interior Sounder Output Type.
2. The Bell Output monitors the wiring to bells and sirens. It will report trouble if an open, short, or other wiring problem is
detected in the supervised bell circuit. It will also make a digital dial out when violated.
3. For UL Listed residential fire alarm applications, the UL Listed Wheelock Model MT-12/24-R Multitone Signal or
equivalent must be used, and the "SUPERVISE BELL" feature must be set to "ON".
4. Refer to FIGURE 7 (BELL CONNECTION) for connections.

CONTROLLER OUTPUTS
The OmniLT provides 2 programmable hardwired voltage outputs on the controller and 8 voltage outputs on the Expansion
Module. These outputs are programmable for the following output types:
•General Purpose low voltage switching applications (12 VDC)
•Sounder triggering (interior and exterior sounders and voice drivers for BURG and FIRE)
•Communicator outputs (radio, cellular, or any other type of auxiliary communicator)
•'ARMED' and 'OK TO ARM' outputs
•Switched Output (to power smoke detectors and cycle power to latching devices)
Outputs 1 and 2 can supply a maximum of 100 mA total.
GENERAL PURPOSE SWITCHING APPLICATIONS
This output will supply 12 VDC to the output terminal when its corresponding unit is ON.
SOUNDER TRIGGERING
This output can be used as a trigger for siren and voice drivers. When a driver requires a separate input for burglary and fire, you
can configure this output to give a voltage trigger to the driver.
COMMUNICATOR OUTPUTS
This output can be used for radio communications or any other type of auxiliary communications to augment the built-in digital
and voice dialers. Any communications device can be used with the OmniLT, provided that it is powered by 12 VDC, has 12
VDC triggered inputs, and has 2 (or more) channels.
The 'Communicator' outputs are activated 3 seconds before the OmniLT dialer begins to dial, either using its built-in digital dialer
or voice dialer.
The following events will activate the BURG output: Burglar alarms (including panic zones), Auxiliary emergencies, Police
emergencies, and Duress alarms. Fire alarms and the fire emergencies will activate the FIRE output.
"ARMED" AND "OK TO ARM"
ARMED: When the system is armed in any of the security modes (AWAY, NIGHT, or DAY), this output will be active. It is
typically used to activate a red LED to indicate that the system is 'armed'.
OK TO ARM: When all security zones are secure, no zones are bypassed, and the system is in the 'OFF' mode, this output will
be active. It is typically used to activate a green LED to indicate that the system is 'ok to arm'.
SWITCHED OUTPUT
This output is used to cycle power to latching devices when the system is armed. Use this output whenever smoke detectors are
connected to the system. This output will reset the smoke detectors when the system is armed after an alarm.
HOME CONTROL MODULES
If used, install X-10 or compatible modules EXACTLY as described in the instructions that come with each module. Watch the
load ratings and types of load allowed. The OmniLT is designed to send signals to any device compatible with the X-10 power
line carrier protocol

Page 19
REMOTE ARM/DISARM SWITCH
1. If desired, a remote keyswitch, keypad, or hidden arm/disarm toggle can be connected to the system. The device should have
a momentary close type switch.
2. Configure one of the zone inputs as a KEYSWITCH zone. A closure of the switch contacts will toggle the arming mode
between OFF and AWAY (Entry and Exit delays are still active).
3. Configure one of the outputs as an "ARMED" and another output as an "OK TO ARM" output. These outputs are used to
activate a red and a green LED based on the state of the alarm system. The "ARMED" and "OK TO ARM" outputs can
supply a maximum of 100 mA each. These outputs are included in the total DEVICES load, which cannot exceed 500 mA.

HAI THERMOSTATS
OmniLT supports up to 2 HAI RC-Series Communicating Thermostats. The controller can send commands to the thermostat to
change mode, cool setting, heat setting, status of fan and hold, and other items.
Run a 3 (or 4) conductor wire from OmniLT to the thermostat location. All thermostats are connected to the GRN (Green), BLK
(Black), and YEL (Yellow) terminals in the section marked "TSTAT" on the OmniLT controller. Connect the red COMM cable
wire with the black COMM cable wire. Make the connections (as shown in Figure 9) using the supplied wire splices.
