SAFETY
Before proceeding with the installation, please note the following safety warnings:
DO NOT connect the mains supply directly to the product, this will cause permanent damage to the products.
Control panel is for indoor use only. Avoid mounting location which can expose this product to splashing or dripping
liquid.
Always follow the manufacturer’s advice when using any tools power tools, ladder/steps,. using steps or ladders, and
wear suitable protective equipment (e.g. safety goggles) when drilling holes, etc. The use of ear defenders are advisable
when working in close proximity to the External Siren or the Control Panel’s Siren when the front panel cover is
removed due to the high sound level produced by it. Before drilling holes in walls, check for hidden electricity cables
and water pipes. The use of a cable/pipe locator is advisable if in doubt. Batteries (battery pack or batteries installed)
should not be exposed to excessive heat. Danger of damage to the unit may occur if battery is incorrectly replaced.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type. (Do not mix batteries type).

Section 2 – Installing your System
In choosing a suitable location you should bear in mind:
 The need to reach the CU easily, within the 30 seconds, when entering and leaving the
premises, ideally passing only one detector.
 The CU should not be visible from the exterior of the protected premises.
2.1 - Fixing the Control Panel
CAUTION: When positioning the control panel ensure that it is located in a dry place
away from damp areas.
Step 1. Remove the front cover(s) from the base
assembly.
Disconnect the transformer wires from the board,
these are marked AC. Carefully remove the board by
gently pushing the holding clips on the bottom edge
of the board and with draw it from the base.
Step 2. Fit the panel to wall with suitable fixings.
Ensure the wall surface is flat to prevent base
distortion. There are cable entry holes provided in
the rear of the base and around the outside edges
through the thinned out plastic sections which may
be cut away as required.
Step 3.The hole provided adjacent to the mains
transformer is a dedicated mains cable entry point.

2.2 - PCB
There are three fuses mounted on the circuit board. All are 20mm anti-surge
F1 1.6A – to protect the positive (+Ve) line of 12V battery
F2 1A – to protect the RKP 13V supply
F3 1A – to protect the Siren (Bell)&Strobe supply
As supplied, wire links are fitted across the Tamper terminal to represent a closed circuit.
CAUTION: Always power-down the panel when wiring external circuits, to prevent
damage to the panel electronics.
Systematically wire and test each circuit:
• Zone, Tamper circuit and PA circuits
• Finish by wiring any additional extension speaker, sounders, external siren (bell)/strobe and
the 13V supply.
2.3 - Tamper network
The Tamper circuit is used to protect all cables and detectors in the system from unauthorized
access including the panel and RKP covers.
The zone and PA tampers should be series wired and connected to the terminals.
Terminals RTN-&- are for the external siren tamper. The TAMP terminals at the bottom left of
the board are for the RKP tampers.

Fitting the Remote Keypad
a. Separate the RKP base plate from the main assembly by slackening the retaining screw.
b. Cut away the required thin wall sections around the edges of the base plate for cable entry.
c. The base plate may be fitted directly to the wall using the screws and wall plugs supplied, if
these are not appropriate for the wall the use suitable alternative fixings.
d. Bring the cables into the base plate and wire to the terminal block on the base plate, see
diagram on the previous page.
e. Refit the RKP main assembly to the base plate by hooking it onto the top holding clips.
Check that the wiring does not foul the tamper switch/spring or the PCB support pillar.
Rescuer the screw in the bottom of the case.
2.5 - Security Zones
PIR and MS connection to the control panel block diagram.
2.6 - Fire Zone Circuit
Any zone may be programmed as a
fire zone. This will automatically
exclude the availability
of the zone from programs and normal
security applications.

2.7 - Tamper Zone Circuit
Any zone may be programmed as a
Tamper zone. Operational in Day and
set, the Tamper circuit will cause a
full alarm condition when activated.
2.8 - PA Zone Circuit
Any quantity of normally closed type
personal attack button may be wired
in series and then connected to the
PA circuit. Operational in Day and
set, the PA circuit will cause a full
alarm condition when activated. PA
is indicated on the control panel or
RKP as Attack.
2.9 - Extension speaker
Extension speaker may be connected to the loudspeaker terminals to produce high volume alarm
tones and low volume entry/exit/fault tones.
External speaker connects to control panel
16 Ohms Extension Speaker

10 Zone LED Alarm Panel - Engineering Manual
12
Only one 16 ohms extension speaker may be wired across the speaker terminals. Mounted in
convenient positions within the installation the extension speakers will reproduce all of the alarm
tones generated by the control panel.
A control marked VOLUME in the center of the board may be used to adjust the low volume
entry/exit tones to suit environmental conditions.
2.10 - External siren Output (Bell box)
The external siren (bell box) is usually installed in a high position from where the siren could be
seen and heard.
Terminal + S- RTN- - are for connection to the external siren. These terminals provide a
power/hold –off supply, sounder trigger and tamper circuit to protect the external siren housing.
The terminals are summarized as follows:
+ +Ve supply (13V)
S- -Ve Sounder trigger
RTN- -Ve tamper return
- -Ve supply (0)
Strobe - and strobe +
Where a discrete external siren is used, it should be connected to terminals + & S-. Terminals
RTN- & - are then used for tamper protection for the housing.
