This manual incorporates the X8s, X16 & X64 alarm panels. References are to all three
panels and depending on the system you are working on will depend on how to
read/understand the information.
Example: If any zones above 16 are mentioned then X64 is being described.
Training must be done with X64 panels as some of the exercises are not suitable for the X8s or
X16. Any settings involving telephone communication are not available on X8s.

Hardware
1. Kick Start Jumper
When connecting to a battery, without 16VAC connected, the X-Series alarm
panel will not power up until the kick start jumper has been. This feature has
been included so that if the battery voltage starts fluctuating and goes below
10.5 volts, without AC, the panel switches off, stopping the alarm from
entering any undesirable states that could compromise the integrity of the
system. When AC is applied the alarm will power up automatically.
2. Default Button & 3. Panel Status LED
To default the panel, physically remove power from the unit and hold down the default
button. Replace power whilst still holding the button. Wait until the panel status LED
flashes and then release the button.
The status LED indicates the condition of the operating system.

3. Panel Status LED
The status LED indicates the condition of the operating system.
Off = Not running
Flashing once a second = Normal operation
Flashing fast = Alarm Panel System fault
4. Serial Output
The serial connection on the X-Series alarm panel (Version 2.10 and up) can communicate with any device
that has the IDS Serial Protocol incorporated into it.
The example below is the X-SMS Module connected via the serial output:
X-Series Serial Output
(Note the red wire is closest to the heat sink)
X-SMS Module
NOTE: As from X-Series v2.50 setting J1 is not required,
however in previous X-Series versions it’s used to set serial
mode to reporting or download (IDSwift2)
X-Series panel v2.00 - v2.41 only
J1 Closed to enable serial reporting.
J1 Open to allow IDSwift2 connection.
5. Programmable Outputs
Five positively triggered outputs that can supply 80mA of current.
By default: Output 1 will pulse if a panic or a duress is triggered
Output 2 will pulse if a burglary condition is triggered
Output 3 will latch on when the system is away armed
Output 4 will pulse if a fire condition is triggered
Output 5 will pulse if a medical condition is triggered

6. X-Series Connectors
The above figure shows how the X-Series connectors are laid out. Each connection will be briefly discussed.
Please note that devices, especially between different manufacturers, may be different and their manuals
should be thoroughly read and understood before attempting installation.
6.1. AC Power
The minimum transformer you can use is a 16V 32VA, but
the recommended transformer is a 16V 40VA transformer.
6.2. TX
The TX connection can supply enough power for radios up to 15 watts.
NOTE: Please use cable with a minimum of 0.5mm copper
core depending on the distance between system and radio
transmitter.
6.3. Aux 12V
The X-Series Alarm Panel can supply 750mA of power to all bus-wired
peripherals, including keypads, expanders and remote receivers, etc.
6.4. Siren
The siren connects directly to the siren output and can drive up to a 30 watt
siren.
Note: The siren must be self-driven, the siren output just supplies 12v DC and not an audio sound
and therefore you cannot use a "standard" speaker.

6.5. Zones
Devices that are connected to zones are divided into two categories, normally open (NO) or normally
closed (NC).Some devices have both and the installer can select either, depending on their preference.
NOTE: The end of line resistor must be 3K3Ω(Ω= ohm)
For a tamper installation a 12kΩand a 4K7Ω
End of Line 3k3 Ohm resistor 12K & a 4k7 Ohm resistor
6.6. Panic Zone
The dedicated panic zone is end-of-line supervised and for safety reasons, if this
resistor is not detected the system will show 'Not Ready' and will not arm.
NOTE: The dedicated panic zone does not display a zone number if open
or when in alarm condition.
6.7. Telephone Connections
The line coming into the building must go directly to the alarm panel and
then onto any telephones. This will stop any attempt to disrupt
communication by taking the phone off the hook. Not available on the X8s.

7. Onboard Expander Connection
The number of zones on the X64 and X16 alarm panels can be expanded via zone expanders. Zones 9 to
16 are added by plugging the onboard expander (or plug-in expander) onto the PCB via this connector.
Not available on the X8s.
8 pin connect Standoff mounting hole
8. Keypad Bus
All devices connected to the bus should be connected in a daisy chain formation (one after each other) for
the best results, though the X-Series Panel does not need to be in the beginning or end of the daisy chain.
Note: All X-Series keypad bus devices must be powered from the X-Series panel unless an IDS RS485 Bus
Isolator is used, as described in point 8.6.
8.1. IDS X64 –Wired 8 Zone Expander Module
NOTE: Zone 9 - 16 are reserved for the onboard plug-in expander and cannot be allocated to the
wired bus expander zones, even if the onboard expander is not used.
PGM –12V output
Zones –End of Line Supervised
Tamper –Connects directly to a tamper
switch
12V –Connect to keypad bus
D+ D- –Connect to keypad bus

Wired Expander Trouble LED
LED: If the LED is ON continuously then there are no errors, however if there are errors it will start pulsing
the error number. These error pulses will be separated by a 1sec pause with the LED OFF.
Pulse error number:
1. Low Battery
2. No activity on the X-Series serial bus
3. No X-Series messages detected
4. No messages for this peripheral detected from X-Series
5. Awaiting tamper change
6. Expander not yet registered on the X-Series
7. Expander tamper violated
Wired 8 Zone Expander Module Example
An example of two wired zone
expanders connected to the X64
with their ID’s set.
Note that they are wired in a daisy
(series) format.
8.2. IDS X64 –8 Zone Smart Expander Module
The IDS X64 –8 Zone Smart Expander Module comes with 4 new connectors which connect to the IDS
Smart Power Supply Module, allowing it to report back to the X-Series alarm panel, in the case of mains
failure, low battery and fuse failure.
The connector labelled A, B, C and Com connect to
the corresponding connectors with the same label
on the Monitored Power Supply.
A –Mains Failure monitoring
B –Low Battery monitoring
C –Fuse Failure monitoring
Com –Common
