IMPORTANT: Keypads powered from supplies that
do not have a backup battery will not function if AC
mains power is lost. Make sure to power at least
one keypad in each partition from the control’s
auxiliary power output.
TOUCH SCREEN KEYPAD (AUI) NOTES:
•
••
•Use of up to 2 AUI devices (e.g., 6270, Symphony) is
independent from standard keypads and does not affect
the number of standard keypads the system can
support.
•
••
•AUI devices must be set for either address 1 or address
2, depending on which unit is enabled in field *189.
•
••
•To ensure proper AUI device operation, connect only to
controls having microprocessor version 3.0 or higher,
and use AUI devices with the following rev levels: 6270
series use version 1.0.9 or higher; 8132/8142
(Symphony) series use version 1.1.175 or higher.

* Includes Keypads, RF Receivers, Zone Expander/Relay Units, or TeleCommand Phone Module.
Maximum wire lengths for any device that is wired directly to the control can also be determined from the Wiring Run
Chart, based on the current drain of that device alone.
The length of all wire runs for all partitions combined must not exceed 457m when unshielded quad conductor cable is
used (228m if shielded/screened cable is used). This restriction is due to the capacitive effect on the data lines when
quad cable is used.

Figure 5. Sounder Wiring (Supervised)
Notes
•The 12VDC sounder output activates when an
alarm occurs.
•Total current drain from this output cannot
exceed 2 amps (going beyond 2 amps will
overload the power supply, or may cause the
electronic circuit protecting the sounder output
to activate).
•You must install a battery, since the battery
supplies this current.
•Do NOT perform steps 2 and 3 if using a self-
activated siren.
Wiring the AC Transformer
Transformer:
Connect the Transformer to terminals 1 and 2 on the
control board. See wiring table at right for wire size to
use.
Use wired-in or plug-in 110 (e.g. 1321)/220VAC
transformer, with 16.5VAC, 25VA output.
Notes
•Use caution when wiring the transformer to the
control to guard against blowing the transformer
fuse (the fuse is non-replaceable).
•Wiring to the AC transformer must not exceed
76m using 1.2mm O.D. wire. The voltage
reading between terminals 1 and 2 of the
control must not fall below 16.5VAC or an “AC
LOSS” message will be displayed.
•Do not connect to AC mains power while making
any wiring connections to the control. As a safety
precaution, always power down the control when
making such connections.
