2. Introduction to the IDS X-Series
Thank you for purchasing an IDS Alarm Panel.
The IDS X-Series alarm is a versatile, Bylaw 25 compliant, expandable Alarm Panel. It comes in three versions, X8, X16 and X64.
Both have up to 8 partitions and can have 8 keypads. The X16 can be expanded from 8 to16 zone, the X64 from 8 to 64 zones
and the X8 only has 8 zones with no dialler. Most features are configurable and may be programmed directly through a keypad
or via serial PC connection or telephone system, using the IDSwift 2 Download Software and appropriate modem (P/N: 860-36-
0001).
There are up to 64 programmable burglary zones on the X64, 16 programmable burglary zones on the X16 and 8 programmable
burglary zones on the X8. A dedicated panic zone, monitored siren output, auxiliary power output, and 5 onboard programmable
outputs expandable to 41 outputs with the 860-07-596 Output expander on the X-Series, are available.
For correct operation, the IDS X-Series panels must be used in conjunction with the specified transformer/battery combination
(ask your sales representative for a copy of the IDS Power Budget spreadsheet to identify your needs) and appropriate peripheral
sensors andsignalling devices.
NOTE: X-SERIES products are not compatible with any previous IDS products, such as the IDS816 and IDS1632.
Features of the IDS X-Series

3. Installation and Wiring
*The kick start jumper must be in-circuit when using only a battery (i.e. no AC). Simply short the pins out with a screwdriver,
or use a jumper. Remove the short/jumper once the Panel Status LED lights up (indicating power up), as leaving it on
disables the low battery cut-out.*
Figure 1: Connection Diagram
Note: When using extra power supplies to power any peripheral connected to the keypad bus an IDS RS485 isolator (860-06-
0557) must be used.

IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02O
Installation Requirements
➢A suitable transformer with an output voltage of 16 VAC ±10% with a 32VA minimum rating must be used. A 40VA
transformer is recommended.
➢A 12V sealed lead acid battery with a capacity of 7AH must be used. The backup period after mains failure will depend on
the number of keypads, sensors, and bus-wired peripheral devices connected to the system.
➢Connect a 12V self-driven siren or piezo siren (not a horn speaker) to the siren output.
➢The panel can supply a total continuous current of 750mA to bus-wired peripheral devices such as keypads, remotes,
receivers, passives etc; from Aux 12V terminals.
End-of-Line Resistors
➢All zones, including Panic zones, are end-of-line supervised.
➢All zones, whether they are used or unused, need to be terminated with a 3K3 resistor (resistor colour-code is orange,
orange, red, gold).
➢For maximum security, the end-of-line resistor must be placed inside or as close to the sensor as possible.
➢For tamper by zone, 4K7 and 12K end-of- line resistors must be connected instead of a single 3K3 resistor.
➢If the panel is unarmed and a tamper condition occurs, the siren will not sound but a tamper condition will be reported if it
is enabled to do so. See Table 41to enable/disable this option.
➢If the panel is armed and a tamper condition occurs, an audible alarm will register, and a tamper condition AND zone
violation will be reported.
Box Tamper Input
The box tamper input does not require an end-of-line resistor, but does require a normally closed contact. The panel is shipped
with the box tamper input bypassed. To use it, remove the jumper and connect a normally closed contact onto the terminals.
Refer to Figure 1: Connection Diagram
Connecting the Telephone Communicator - Advanced
Refer to: Figure 1: Connection Diagram
For optimum lightning protection, connect a low resistance earth to the communicator earth input.
➢Connect the telephone communicator in line seizure mode and never in parallel with the telephone.
➢Ensure the telephone receiver is connected to the communicator terminals marked “phone” and the incoming line to the
terminals marked “line”.
Programmable Outputs
A relay must be used when any device requiring a current greater than 50mA is connected to an onboard programmable output.
The onboard programmable output circuitry is a current sink circuit with a maximum output voltage of 13.6Vdc and a maximum
output current of 50mA. Programmable outputs are primarily connected for radio transmitter. The output expander, part no.
860-06-0596, has eight 1 amp DC relays to be able to manage a higher current to be used for connecting, LEDs, sirens, bus-wired
peripherals, etc.
Key-Switchor Remote Control Unit
A key-switch, (not recommended) or non-IDS remote receiver maybe connected to any zone to allow remote arm/disarm and
remote panic capability.
➢When using a key-switch or remote control unit, a 3K3 resistor must be connected between the zone input and ground.
➢Use only a spring-loaded momentary key-switch or non-latching remote control unit.
Installing Expander Modules
When installing expander modules please refer to the document supplied with the module. Note that up to 6 bus-wired, 8-zone
expander modules (P/N: 860-06-X-08S), 1 plug-in expander (P/N: 860-06-X-08PI) and 2 bus-wired output expanders may be
added to the IDS X64 Alarm Panel. Zones 9-16 are reserved for the Plug-in Zone Expander module which may be used on the X16
as well.
IDS Remote Receiver
Up to 4 IDS Remote Receivers (P/N: 860-07-X02-DI) may be connected to the keypad Bus. Using this facility allows remote arming
and disarming of the panel while providing user identification for a maximum of 128 remotes. For a full list of features and
benefits of the receiver, please see the manual that comes with it.
Transmitter Connection
When connecting a GSM transmitter, use the TX terminal provided on the panel to supply power to the transmitter. This
output is protected by a 4 Amp fuse. This will also help protect the battery by cutting power to it to stop it from being drained.
Note: Do not use with high power transmitters that draw more than 1.5Amps.

10
IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02O
Hardware Default Switch
Use the hardware default switch (refer to Figure 1) to return the panel to its factory default settings.
The procedure to default the panel is as follows:
1. Remove the battery and AC power from the panel
2. If you are only using a battery make sure that the kick-start jumper is in circuit
3. Hold down the default switch and reapply power to the panel (battery or AC)
4. Wait for the Panel Status LED to flash
5. Release the default switch
6. Remove the kick-start jumper, if one was used
7. Defaulting is complete once the Panel Status LED starts flashing
The effects of applying the default:
1. Factory default values are restored to all locations
2. All attached keypad IDs are defaulted
3. The event log is not cleared
4. The “system default” event is logged to the event log
NOTE: The hardware default switch can be disabled in location 35.
See also: Defaulting the Panel or Master User Code –location 0Enrolling Keypads and Other Bus-wired Peripherals
Keypads
Keypads must be enrolled on the system before they can be used. Keypads are allocated an ID in the order in which they are
enrolled. To enrol a keypad:
1. Wire it to the keypad BUS
2. Power the system up
3. Press the[#]key
Repeat this process with the remaining keypads where more than 1 keypad is used. The first keypad enrolled will have an ID of
1, the second enrolled will have an ID of 2, the third an ID of 3 etc.
NOTE:
➢All the zone and LEDs will flash on a keypad that does not have an ID.
➢The POWER and READY LEDs will be on for a keypad that has an ID and no zone violations.
➢Only the POWER LED will be on for a keypad that has an ID with a zone violation. The LED for that zone will also flash.
Trouble shooting
If the ID process, for an LED keypad, has failed zones 1-8, and zones 9-16 will flash alternately. At this point press the [#] key to
retry.
If the flashing persists, try the following steps:
1. Check all wiring
2. Check that you have not exceeded 8 keypads on the bus
3. Contact the IDS helpdesk for further support
NOTE: To enrol other devices (IDS Remote Receivers or Zone Expanders); consult the installation manuals for those devices. The
IDS X64Alarm Panels can accept6 zone expanders and 4remote receivers.
Replacing a DamagedKeypad/Bus-wired Peripheral
To replace a damaged device (non-dipswitch –like a keypad):
1. Disconnect only the faulty device while the system is powered down.
2. Program a value of [4] into location 0 to free up all redundant IDs (previously unallocated IDs remain free), wait for
approximately 30 seconds then continue to step 3.
3. Connect the replacement device and enrol it –by pressing [#] for keypads –it will now be enrolled in the first available
address.
NOTE:
➢If other devices are disconnected (or damaged), at the time of performing step 2, their addresses will also be freed. Any
new devices being enrolled will automatically be allocated addresses beginning from the lowest free address.
➢When you free up the ID of the damaged unit, the panel settings, relevant to the ID, will be defaulted too. Therefore, the
keypad will need to be re-added to a partition.
➢If a new keypad was enrolled, go to location 243 to check the keypad’s ID (1-8).
Solution
If there are problems with device IDs on a complex installation, do not assign IDs randomly, rather, at the end of the installation,
default all device IDs and then enrol them in sequence.
To re-enrol a Zone Expander or a Remote Receiver; consult the installation instructions for the particular device.

IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02O
Defaulting Keypads
To default the ID of an individual keypad:
1. Remove power to the keypad (or the whole panel if easier).
2. Hold down the [1]and [3]keys simultaneously.
3. Restore the power.
4. Wait for three seconds and then release the keys (there will not be a beep).
5. All the keypad LEDs will flash simultaneously indicating that the keypad has been de-registered
4. Wait for five seconds and ensure that the Panel Status LED on the panel is flashing, if the panel power was removed.
5. Press the [#] key to allocate a new ID to the defaulted keypad. Keypad IDs are allocated incrementally.
6. The ID of any (correctly registered) keypad can be viewed in location 243 from the keypad of interest.
To default the ID of ALL keypads:
1. Enter a value of [3] into location 0.
[INSTALLER CODE] [*] [0] [*] [3] [*]
2. On pressing the final [*], wait a few seconds and ALL the keypad LEDs will begin flashing. (Do NOT press the [#] key at the
end of this sequence, unless you wish the keypad you are using to be registered in the first address).
3. Re-enrol all keypads by pressing the [#] key on each keypad –in the CORRECT sequence to ensure that keypad zone and
partition allocation is as required by the user.
4. Event Log
A comprehensive log of the 1 000 most recent events is retained in the non-volatile EEPROM. The log may be retrieved using the
up/download software, or on the LCD keypad. (See the LCD Keypad or User Manual to see how to view the event log).
IDSwift 2 software is available for account customers, to download event logs via direct serial download, or via a modem.
5. Access Codes
The panel supports up to 128 users. The user codes can have various properties assigned to them. These properties allow the
user codes to have different functions.
Normal User Code
A normal user code is used to arm/disarm the panel, and to access certain user options.
Master User Code
When assigned to a user, this property allows the user to act as a master user. The Master User Code has full access to
programming all the user options. For a full list of user programmable options, refer to the X-Series User Manual.
Maid’s Code (Arm to Disarm Code)
This property may be used to limit access to the premises. A Maid's Code will only disarm the system if the same code was used
for arming. If armed with a code other than this code, the system will view an attempt to disarm using a Maid's Code as an invalid
entry. Any valid user code will disarm the system if it has been armed with a Maid’s Code.
Duress Code
This property denotes a user code as a special code to be used in the unique situation where an intruder forces one to disarm
the system "under duress".
When the [DURESS CODE] is entered, the Alarm Panel disarms normally - however a DURESS REPORTING CODE is transmitted to
the monitoring company to inform them that you have been forced to disarm the Alarm Panel by an intruder.
It is advisable to choose a code that can easily be remembered by all family (or staff) members.
Installer Code
The Installer Code (location 197) is used by the installer to program and configure the Alarm Panel. It has full access to all installer
mode menus as listed in this manual.
Maintenance Code
The Maintenance Code (location 199) acts in a similar way to the Installer Code, but it has limited access to installer menus. The
default Maintenance Code is 8888, or 888888 for a 6-digit code. This code is used to access the following locations:
Locations 17 - 18
Siren Time & Delay
Locations 20 –22
Keypad Lockout and Sleep
Locations 25 –31
Daylight Savings
Locations 171 –173
No Movement, Auto Arm
Locations 174 –176
No Movement, Medical Alarm
Locations 180 –190
Auto Arm Times
The assignment of this property to a user allows the relevant user to perform certain “maintenance” tasks that would ordinarily
require the use of the installer code.

12
IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02O
Download Code
The Download Code, location 198, (in conjunction with the Installer Code) is required for download access via the IDS Download
Software. The default Download Code is 9999 or 999999 for a 6-digit code.
NOTE: It is possible to program location 34 to either allow or disallow defaulting of the Download Code.
6. How to Read Location Values
Values within a data program location will be displayed by the zone LEDs in binary coded decimal format i.e. zone LEDs 1-4
indicate units (ones) and zone LEDs 5-8 indicate tens (tens), and so on.
To read a binary value on the keypad, add up the values represented by each lit LED as shown in Table 1

EXAMPLE:
Imagine the following zone LEDs are on: Zone 1, Zone 3 and Zone 5.
Units are represented by the sum of Zone 1 and Zone 3 (i.e. 1 + 4).
Tens of units are represented by the value of Zone 5 (i.e. 1 x ten).
Therefore, the displayed value is (1+4) + (10) = 15.
Values within a time program location are displayed in a similar format as per Table 2.

Using an LCD keypad means that data and time information can be read directly without a need to convert.
7. Programming of the Panel
The X-Series control panels is optimised to be programmed and use with an LCD keypad. The system can be programmed with a
LED keypad except for a few locations, will be highlighted when such locations are discussed. The following section describes
how programming data is represented in the X-Series panels and how to program it, specifically with the LED keypad.
For all programming procedures, the [*] key functions as the <ENTER> key and the [#] hash key functions as a<CLEAR> or an
<EXIT> program key.
Invalid data entries are indicated by means of an error beep consisting of 3 short beeps of the keypad buzzer.
There are two location categories:
➢Standard locations which are single tiered and do not contain any sub-locations.
➢Extended locations, which are double tiered and have strings or sub-locations depending on programming preference.
Both standard and extended locations may contain further sub-categories referred to as bitmapped locations.
For both main categories, clear visual keypad prompts are provided, which aid the programming process.
NOTE: When you use the [*] key to scroll through a bitmapped location, it will scroll through the pages.
When using the [*] key to scroll through numbered locations, it will scroll through the bytes.
➢Alpha-numeric locations (location 51 - telephone number), will show 1 digit per press of the [*] key.
➢Numeric locations (location 197 –installers code), will show 2 digits per press of the [*] key.
➢To view how the data is represented, please see Table 1.
Where a hexadecimal number must be programmed, use the [MODE] key as per Table 3.

Zones
Location 1 –8 Individual Zone Type Setup
These locations allow you to program the zone types for zones 1-64.The zones are divided into 8 zones per location. After the
zone type is programmed for zones 9 through 64, they will need to be assigned to a partition before being enabled.
Refer to Partition Options to see how to add zones to partitions and what options are available.
Each location represents a set of 8 zones:
➢Location 1 zones 1-8 (X8)
➢Location 2 zones 9-16 (X16)
➢Location 3 zones 17-24 (X64)
➢Location 4 zones 25-32 (X64)
➢Location 5 zones 33-40 (X64)
➢Location 6 zones 41-48 (X64)
➢Location 7 zones 49-56 (X64)
➢Location 8 zones 57-64 (X64)
Refer to Table 5: Zone Types
NOTE:
➢If you require a panic zone whose status can be viewed on a keypad, Do NOT use the dedicated panic as it cannot be
viewed on a keypad.
➢Zones 1-8 are onboard zones.
➢Zones 9-16 are plug-in expander zones. (supported only by X16, X64)
➢Zones 17-64 are expander zones. (supported only by X64)

Table 5: Zone Types
Value
Zone Type
00
DISABLED
A zone violation of a Disabled zone is ignored by the Alarm Panel and will not be indicated on the keypad.
01
PRIMARY ENTRY/EXIT ZONE
Violations of an Entry/Exit zone are ignored during the exit delay period of the arming procedure. Violating an
Entry/Exit zone when armed will initiate the entry delay period. If a valid User Code is not entered before the entry
delay period expires, an alarm condition will be registered. Failure to exit through an Entry/Exit zone after arming will
cause the panel to Stay Arm. This zone may also function as an Entry/Exit zone that is COMMON to two partitions. In
such a case, should a user violate this zone and then disarm this partition, the OTHER partition will re-arm after the
entry delay.
02
FOLLOWER ZONE
A Follower zone is not monitored during the Entry/Exit delay period; therefore it will not cause a violation. This allows
the user to enter/exit via the Follower zone. A Follower zone will behave as an Instant zone while the panel is armed
and an Entry/Exit zone is not violated prior to violation of the Follower zone.
03
PANIC/PRIORITY ZONE
Regardless of whether the panel is armed or not, a violation of a Priority zone will cause the Alarm Panel to register a
panic condition. This zone type CANNOT be bypassed.
04
INSTANT ZONE
Violation of an Instant zone will cause the Alarm Panel to register an alarm condition.
05
ARM/DISARM ZONE
Violation of an Arm/Disarm zone will cause the panel to toggle between (away) armed and disarmed. It is typical to
connect a momentary key-switch, or non-latching remote control unit to this zone. NOTE: A zone must be added to a
partition in order for it to arm.
08
SECONDARY ENTRY/EXIT ZONE
The Secondary entry delay will be activated if this zone is violated while the panel is armed.
09
Instant Fire Zone(New)
Zone triggers on the first violation and triggers a standard fire alarm signal
10
FIRE ZONE
Violation of a Fire zone will cause the siren to sound regardless of whether the panel is armed or not. The siren will
sound intermittently (one second on, one second off). For correct operation, a programmable output programmed as
a fire detector power output must be used to control power to the fire detector (refer to Table 36)
11
TAMPER ZONE
Violation of a Tamper zone will be reported to the base station regardless of whether the panel is armed or disarmed.
If the panel is armed, the siren will sound.
12
24 HOUR ALARM ZONE
Regardless of whether the panel is armed or not, a violation of a 24 Hour Alarm zone will cause the Alarm Panel to
register a panic condition.
13
WARNING ZONE
Violation of a Warning zone will cause the siren to beep. The violation is logged in the event log but it is not reported
to the base station. Warning zones may be included and will be counted when used as part of the cross-zone.
14
PUSH TO ARM ZONE
Violation of a Push to A rm zone during the exit delay will immediately arm the panel.
15
OUTDOOR INSTANT ZONE
Violation of an Outdoor Instant zone will cause the panel to register an alarm condition.
NOTE: This is a reporting code and it functions in the same way as zone type 04.
How to program using the string method:
To program 8 zones at a time, fill in a row with the corresponding zone types (2 digits per type, found in Table 5: Zone Types)
and enter these values as one long 16-digit string for location 1. This method can be used for the remaining 56 zones by noting
that location 2 references zones 9 to 16, location 3 references zones 17 to 24, etc.
I.e. To program the defaulted zone types (Table 6) for the first 16 zones use the following:
[INSTALLER CODE] [*]
[1][*] reference zones 1 - 8
[0102040404040404][*]
[2][*] reference zones 9 - 16
[0000000000000000][*]

16
IDS X-Series Installer Manual 700-398-02O
How to program using the sub-location method:
To program zones using the sub-location method, program 1 (as indicated by “[]” sub-location (followed by the [*] key) and then
enter the zone type (followed by the [*] key). Then press the [*] key again to advance to the next sub-location. For sub-locations,
the zone type does not have to be 2 digits, i.e. enter 1 or 01.
To repeat for further zones, enter the second zone number (followed by the [*] key) and then the zone type (followed by the [*]
key). This can be repeated for all 64 zones.
I.e. To program the defaulted zone types for the first four zones use the following:
[INSTALLER CODE] [*]
[1][*] reference zones 1 - 8
[1][*][1] [*] [*] zone 1, zone type 1
[2][*][2] [*] [*] zone 2, zone type 2
[3][*][4][*] [*] zone 3, zone type 4
[4][*][4] [*] [*] zone 4, zone type 4
How to program using the [*] key to advance:
A third method to program zones using the star advance method is to enter the location number corresponding to a group of 8
zones you wish to program. Each press of the [*] key will step through a zone.
I.e. To change zone 12 to an Instant zone, use the following:
[INSTALLER CODE] [*]
[2][*] reference zones 9 –16
[*] move to zone 10
[*] move to zone 11
[*] move to zone 12
[4][*] zone type 4

LOCATION 15 AC Fail Reporting Delay (default = 0004)
In the event of a power failure (although instantly displaying the trouble indication) the panel will wait for this period of time
before REPORTING the mains failure to the base station. This delay eliminates unnecessary reporting if the AC power is removed
for a short time period. It is important to note that an AC restoral will only be reported if an AC failure was reported first, i.e. the
delay period was exceeded.
To program the time into this location:

Explanation of Trouble Conditions
➢AC Fail
This occurs when the Alarm Panel does not receive any power from your mains electricity. Check if a power failure has
occurred, or your transformer is not plugged in or faulty.
This trouble condition will only clear once the power has been restored.
➢Reporting Communications Failure
This occurs when communication to the monitoring company is not successful.
The event will clear upon exiting the trouble viewing mode.
➢Telephone Line Monitoring
The causes of this could be a fault, or short, on the phone line; or the phone line could be cut.
This trouble condition will only clear once the phone line restored.
➢Siren Monitoring
This can occur when the siren has been removed or the siren fuse on the panel has blown.
This trouble condition will only clear once the siren or fuse has been replaced.
➢Low Battery Monitoring
This trouble condition can be caused by a low battery voltage, a dead battery, or no battery. If the battery is there, try
charging it. If this not does work, then the battery needs to be replaced.
This trouble condition will only clear once the battery voltage has been restored.
➢Aux 12V Monitoring
This trouble condition indicates that the fuse has blown, or that there is a fault
This trouble condition will only clear once the fault has been restored.
