Wiring the OMNI-408
Refer to the Summary of Connections diagram in Appendix F of this guide for visual information
concerning the wiring and hookup of the OMNI-408. The connections shown meet Household
Fire/Burglar Alarm System standards set by UL (UL985 and UL1023).
Terminal Connections
TERMINALS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
1 & 2 Transformer Connect the 16.5VAC 25VA transformer, utilizing #18awg wire at a
distance not to exceed 15 feet from the panel, to an unswitched 120VAC
outlet.
For US installations, use an ADEMCO No. 1321 transformer or for
Canadian installations, use an ADEMCO No. 1321CN transformer. For all
other installations, use a transformer that complies with the above
specifications. Do not use any other rating transformer, as this may result
in improper operation or damage to the unit.
The AC/LB keypad LED will remain on while AC power is present. If an AC
loss occurs, the AC/LB LED turns off immediately. If AC power remains off
for 15 minutes, the system pulses the keypad buzzer (if enabled in
Programming Question 09, Location 4, Bit 2) and transmits a power-loss
message to the central station, if programmed to do so. THE KEYPAD
BUZZER CAN BE SILENCED by entry of any valid user code. When AC
restores, the AC/LB LED lights immediately, and a Restore code is
reported, if programmed.
3 Earth
Ground
Connect this grounding lug to a cold-water pipe utilizing #18awg wire at a
distance of no greater than 15 ft. Use a non-corrosive metal strap firmly
secured to the pipe to which the lead is electrically connected and secured.
If the premises' pipes terminate in PVC, this terminal must be connected to
a 6-foot grounding rod.
4(+) & 5(-) Bell Output The total output power available for sounding devices is 1A at 11.5 -
13.1VDC. Bell output max. 650mA for UL installations. These terminals
deliver CONSTANT output on BURGLARY, AUDIBLE PANIC, and BELL
TEST. On a FIRE condition, a PULSED or TEMPORAL output can be
generated. There are separate bell cutoff times programmable for burglary
and fire conditions within the pro

uence. For UL Household

OMNI-408/OMNI-408EU Installation and Setup Guide
2–2
TERMINALS FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
Fire Warning System installations, the speaker must be mounted indoors
for best audibility. Also, for UL installations, use only one speaker.
NOTE: Before connecting sounding devices, consult their specifications for
proper current draw. Otherwise, the bell fuse (F1) may be blown.
6Siren
Supervision
Input
The bell output may be supervised when a conventional bell or a
self-contained siren is connected. When connecting a conventional bell or
a self-contained siren to the bell output terminals (4 and 5), jumper JP3
must be placed across pins 1 and 2. When connecting an external siren
driver to the bell output terminals, the supervision wire is connected to the
siren supervision terminal of the siren driver, and jumper JP3 must be
placed across pins 2 and 3. A supervisory condition generates a pulsing
keypad sounder. Also, the supervisory LED on the keypad pulses.
Entering a valid user code while the system is disarmed silences the
sounder. The LED continues to pulse until the supervision is fixed. If a
bell, self-contained siren, or external siren driver is not connected to the
bell output terminals, a 100-ohm resistor must be placed across the siren
supervision input to prevent a bell supervision error. Bell supervision is
reported to the CS if enabled.

(Trigger 1)
Smoke
Detector
Power or
Trigger 1
Output
Smoke Detector Power: This system accepts 9.5 - 12VDC 4-wire smoke
detectors only. Approximately 50mA of current are available at these
terminals for powering all detectors and an EOL relay, FBII Model 620. For
UL installations, see wiring diagram for hookup.
These terminals adhere to the fire verification and reset logic. You can
reset the smoke detector power manually by entering a valid user code
after clearing alarm memory or by using the asterisk [*] key.
Trigger 1 Output: These terminals, which are commonly wired to trigger
1, can be used for a trigger output. See Programming Question 37,
Locations 1 and 2 for valid trigger types.
5(-) & 8(+) Regulated
Power (11.5
- 13.1VDC):
The total regulated output power for motion detectors and other external
devices is 500mA at 11.8 - 12.5V for residential applications, or 12.0 -
12.5V for commercial applications, with less than 100 mVPP ripple. The
total regulated output capacity of the OMNI-408 includes the power
available from these terminals (8 and 5), as well as the power used by the
keypads and smoke detectors. Therefore, to determine the total power
available from these terminals, subtract the power consumed by the
keypads and smoke detectors. The maximum auxiliary output for UL
installations is 180mA.

BACKUP BATTERY:
The Red (+) and Black (-) flying leads must be connected to a 12VDC 4-7AH battery to serve as backup
power in the event of AC loss.
A battery test occurs approximately every 4.5 minutes. Low-battery conditions occur at nominal
11VDC. The keypad AC/LB LED and buzzer will pulse slowly when a low-battery condition is detected.
The system reports this condition to the central station if programmed to do so. Battery restoration
occurs within 4.5 minutes, at the NEXT battery test. The buzzer may be silenced by entry of any valid
user code.
NOTE: For UL installations, use two 4AH batteries connected in parallel.

Power-Up/System Reset
When the system is in an armed state only, it may enter System Stabilization Mode. This occurs upon
power-up of the system, and causes all of the LEDs on the keypad(s) to light, and then go off for
approximately 2 minutes (if system was previously armed). This occurs on a total power-up or system
reset. If total system power is lost, upon power restoration, the system returns to the previous arming
state. The 2-minute, 10-second interval is used to allow motion detectors (in interior zones) to stabilize
on power-up in order to prevent false alarms. THIS OPTION CAN BE DISABLED BY PUTTING A
MOMENTARY JUMPER BETWEEN TERMINALS 15 AND 16 ON POWER-UP. IF DISABLED, THE
POWER-UP RESET TIME IS APPROXIMATELY 10 SECONDS. This is a normal condition.

KEYPAD AUXILIARY KEYS
Pressing the auxiliary keys (XK108: two keys labeled P, A, or F at the same time; OMNI-LCD/OMNI-
LCD-US/XK7LC/OMNI-KP/OMNI-KP-US: ∗/#, 1/3, 7/9) initiates a CS transmission, if programmed, of
programmed functions (e.g., PANIC, AUXILIARY, or FIRE), and causes annunciation of the keypad
sounder and turns on the bell output.
See the “Keypad Emergency Conditions”paragraph for alternate auxiliary keys.
Keypad Sounder
The sounder (or loudspeaker) housed inside the keypad emits (annunciates) sounds according to the
condition of the security system.
Enabling Keypad Sounder:
XK7LC: Set the 4th DIP switch on the back of the keypad (remove cover) on or off to turn sounder
on/off.
OMNI-KP/OMNI-KP-US/OMNI-LCD/OMNI-LCD-US: Press and hold the [CODE] and [BYPASS] keys
to toggle the sounder on/off.
The keypad sounder annunciates differently to indicate the following conditions:
Chirp A short chirp confirms each keystroke.
Steady A steady sound during entry time and/or during burglary alarm.
Chime Acknowledge Steady 1-second tone (SYSTEM DISARMED ONLY). Upon successful entry of
certain commands, the system will sound for approximately half a second.
Pulsing A pulsing sound (approximately half a second ON, then OFF) indicates a
trouble condition such as AC loss, low battery, or fire trouble.
Negative
Acknowledgment
Upon entry of an illegal command, the keypad will sound four short beeps. For
example, if you attempt to define a new user and do not enter the master user,
you will hear four short beeps indicating that the command was unsuccessful.
Sounder Ringback Several short beeps to indicate successful communication to the central station.
This occurs for all signals, excluding ambush and silent zones.
Fast Pulsing Sounder Sound generated during entry time period AFTER an alarm condition has
occurred and the system reached bell cutoff. A pulsing sounder will follow the
bell output on fire conditions. Trouble conditions also generate a pulsing
sounder and may be silenced through entry of a valid user code.
!
The keypad is NOT operational if none of the LEDs are lit and the keypad does not beep when
keys are pressed. This is an indication that service is required. Consult the troubleshooting
section of this manual.

Keypad Backlight Timer
The OMNI-KP, OMNI-KP-US, OMNI-LCD, and OMNI-LCD-US keypads have a timer controlled
keypad backlight that is on for 120-seconds following a key press (timer on) or constantly on (timer off).
Enabling backlight timer:
OMNI-KP and OMNI-KP-US: Press the INSTANT and CODE keys at the same time and hold down for
two seconds until you hear a beep. Pressing the [1] key toggles a zero or one in the display.
0 = Timer off (backlight always on)
1 = Timer on (backlight on for 120-seconds following key press)
Press the [✱] key to exit this Backlight menu.
OMNI-LCD and OMNI-LCD-US: Press and hold down the INSTANT and CODE keys at the same time
for about two seconds. Press the [1] key to toggle the display between:
Backlight 120s time out
and

Press [✱] key to exit this Backlight menu.
Keypad Addressing
This address will identify the keypad number to the control panel. A maximum of 4 keypads (OMNI-
KP, OMNI-KP-US, OMNI-LCD, OMNI-LCD-US, or XK7LC, or XK108) can be identified.
When the XK108 is used, keypad addressing does not apply. Additionally, you cannot use any
other type of keypad if you are using XK108’s on the system.
Set the OMNI-KP, OMNI-KP-US, OMNI-LCD, and OMNI-LCD-US keypad addresses by doing the
following (refer to the instructions provided with the keypads for additional information on setting the
keypad addresses):
1. Within 30 seconds of applying power to the unit, press the [CODE] and [STAY] keys at the same
time and hold them for several seconds.
2. When the display shows a single digit pulsing, enter the address 1–8 for fixed-word and for LCD
keypads.
3. To terminate the mode, press [✱].
Set the XK7LC keypad address by using its DIP switches. Refer to the instructions provided with the
keypad for additional information on setting the keypad address.
NOTE: When the programming mode is ended or the next time the system is powered up, the keypads
will be recognized by the panel.
