NESS D8 CONNECTION EXAMPLES

8NESS D8 (V4.7) CONTROL PANEL – INSTALLER MANUAL
MONITORED ZONES
The Ness D8 has 10 separate monitored inputs.
• 8 x Fully programmable Zone inputs
• 2 x 24 hour Tamper input
ZONE INPUTS
Each zone input must be terminated with a 2K2 (2200
ohm) resistor as supplied. All inputs must be sealed with
an EOL resistor even if unused.
For wiring details of Keypads, Keyswitches, Panic Buttons
and Warning devices, see the wiring diagrams in the
wiring section of this manual.
TAMP – Tamper Input
The TAMP input must also be sealed with a 2K2 end of
line resistor. This input is always a 24hr input.
AC INPUT TERMINALS
These terminals are for the connection of the Ness
plugpack. The Ness D8 requires an AC transformer
rating of 1.4 Amps @ 17 V AC minimum. (Ness Part No.
POW215)
BATTERY
These terminals are for the connection of a sealed
lead-acid rechargeable 12Volt battery. Charge current is
limited to 350mA. The charge voltage is factory preset
at 13.8 V and does not need changing. Note: A 12 Volt
sealed lead acid rechargeable battery must be connected
for correct panel operation. Observe correct Polarity when
connecting the battery.
(Ness Part Number BAT210 12V 7Ah battery)
EARTH
For maximum protection against damage caused by
lightning strikes, connect a good earth to this terminal.
Alternatively use the Earth lead from the plug pack.
PROG/TAMP – Program Link & Internal Tamper Input
The PROG/TAMP link appears on the two pin J1 header.
The PROG/TAMP link has two purposes:
1. To enter Installer Program Mode on initial
power up. Power-up with the PROG link OFF. The
PROG link (or Box Tamper lead) must be ON in
operating mode.
2. Box Tamper. When used with the Internal Tamper
Lead (supplied), PROG/TAMP serves as the
24hr tamper input for the panel’s internal tamper
switch.
Replace the PROG Link with the Box Tamper
Lead. Connect the Internal Tamper Lead spade
terminals directly to the terminals of the internal
tamper switch (supplied). An end-of-line resistor is
NOT required on this input.
When PROG/TAMP is used for Internal Tamper,
powering up with the panel’s cover open will enter
Installer Program Mode.
INPUTS
The location of the main panel housing should be
in an area that is within the protected area of the
premises. A linen closet or cupboard are good
examples as these are generally located in the centre
of the Premises.
Positioning of the movement detectors should be
considered as the incorrect position may cause
unwanted alarms.
1. Unclip the lid by pushing in the directions of the arrows 1
and 2 as shown below.
2. Remove the Battery from the base.
3. Mount the rear panel housing to a secure location.
4. Insert the PCB stand-offs in the Panel and then plug the
circuit board onto the stand-offs.
5. Wire to the circuit board terminal blocks, as per the wiring
instructions shown in this installation manual.
6. Replace the Battery.
7. Insert the panel tamper bracket as shown at left.
8. Program the control panel as required

OUTPUTS
12 VOLT OUTPUT:
A regulated 13.8 VDC output is available to power detectors and other equipment. This
output is available from two sets of terminals marked +12V and 0V. The output is protected
by an Automatic Reset fuse.
A maximum load of 500mA may be connected to these terminals.
SIREN:
The on-board siren driver will drive a maximum of 3 x 8 ohm horn speakers (Ness Part No.
NOI110 or 100-171 Internal Siren). The output will reset at the end of siren time (P29E) or
whenever the panel is reset, whichever comes first. This output has an internal Resettable
fuse.
STR - Strobe:
A latched 12VDC output for connecting strobe lights. As of D8 Version 4.5,
this output will reset after 72 hours (3 days) or when the panel is disarmed.
(D8 versions prior to V4.5 allow indefinite strobe operation, until the panel is reset).
A maximum of 2 x 1 Watt Strobes (Ness Part No. NOI300) can be connected to this output.
The output is protected by an Automatic Reset fuse.
RESET:
A 12V DC output for connecting Ness sirens, piezo sirens or relays, etc. This output will reset
at the end of siren time (P29E) or whenever the panel is reset, whichever comes first.
A maximum of 3 x 12V piezo Sirens (Ness Part No. NOI240, NOI 230, 100-238) or 2 X Ness
Piezo (Part No 100-172) can be connected to this output. The output is protected by an
Automatic Reset fuse.
J3 HEADER

J3
OPEN COLLECTOR
OUTPUTS
AUX OUTPUTS
The D8 and D16 Aux1 and Aux2
outputs can now be driven by a
number of different conditions and
alarms.
The following is a summary of the
Aux1 and Aux2 program options
and conditions.
AUX1 CAN BE TRIGGERED BY:
• Any zone alarm if programmed by
option P58E. The output remains on
until the panel is reset/disarmed.
• A Radio Supervision alarm if option
P66E 5E is on. The output remains on
until the panel is reset/disarmed.
• Remotely by telephone.
• A Ness RK3 or RK4 Radio Key
PANIC button if options P68E 3E or
4E are on.
(if 3E is on, the output Toggles, if 4E
is on, the output Pulses. If both 3E &
4E are on, the output will Pulse).
• A Ness RK4 Radio Key AUX button
if options P68E 3E or 4E and 7E are
on.
AUX2 CAN BE TRIGGERED BY:
• Any zone alarm if programmed by
option P59E. The output remains on
until the panel is reset/disarmed.
• A Radio Supervision alarm if option
P66E 6E is on. The output remains on
until the panel is reset/disarmed.
• Remotely by telephone.
• A Ness RK4 Radio Key AUX button
if option P69E 7E or 8E are on.
(if 7E is on, the output Toggles, if 8E
is on, the output Pulses. If both 7E &
8E are on, the output will not work).
NOTE: Aux1 and Aux2 will both be
turned off by a Pulse on any other
output, (including siren/strobe).
For example, if either Aux output is
toggled on, the output will be turned
off by the Radio Key arm/disarm
strobe flash.
This makes it necessary to disable
all ‘pulsing’ outputs if toggled Aux
outputs are to work correctly.
BACKUP BATTERY
A properly charged battery MUST be installed to ensure the Siren, Strobe and Reset outputs

ARM ONLY CODES
User Codes 2–15 can optionally be programmed as Arm Only Codes, which can
Arm but cannot Disarm the panel. (Used for cleaners, temporary staff, etc).
Another feature of Arm Only codes is they can arm the panel directly from Monitor
Mode. (Normal user codes can arm the panel only if it is fully disarmed first.)
EXAMPLE: To program User Code 2 to be 1234 and an Arm Only code:
P12E ARM E 1234E 1234E
When the code is viewed in program mode, the ARMED icon is displayed before
the digits of the code.
ARM ONLY CODE DISABLE
To deselect the Arm Only feature for a particular user code, simply enter the option
for that code and press ARM E without re-entering a new code. This retains the
existing code and toggles off the Arm Only feature.

VIBRATION SENSITIVITY
Each zone has individually adjustable sensitivity for connection of Nessensor
Vibration Sensors.
Zone sensitivity is adjusted by toggling zones ON in options P30E to P38E.
P30E, Normal Sensitivity– vibration analyser disabled. This is used for normal
alarm devices. Zone response time, 200ms.
P31–38E are the options for the 8 levels of vibration sensitivities. P31E is the most
sensitive setting.

PROGRAM MODE LEVEL:

FACTORY DEFAULT:
Normal sensitivity.
P30E, all zones = ON
NOTES:
• Sensitivity can be individually
programmed for each zone.
• Zones are allocated to one sensitivity
level at any one time. Turning a zone ON
in a sensitivity level, turns the zone OFF in
any other sensitivity level.
• To revert zone sensitivity back to Normal.
Turn the required zone/s ON at Option 30.
• Avoid using P31 and P38 sensitivity
– they are provided as a guide to the
upper and lower limits.
•USING NESSENSORS.
Nessensors are sensitive to high frequen-
cies and insensitive to low frequencies.
Therefore it is not necessary to apply
much force to the protected structure,
rather a very rapid succession of blows.
The sensitivity has been correctly ad-
justed when a single blow applied with
a soft object (e.g. by hand) does not
cause an alarm whereas a rapid series
of blows (using a metal object such as a
screwdriver blade) will cause an alarm.

PROGRAMMING
NESS D8 (V4.7) CONTROL PANEL – INSTALLER MANUAL
TEMPORARY DAY ZONES
D8 Version (v4.6 onwards) introduces the
‘Temporary Day Zone’ feature which allows
easy and flexible Day Zone selection and
operation.
While remaining in normal operating mode,
the user can add and remove ‘Temporary
Day Zones’ and enable/disable day zone
operation using simple key strokes.
TO ENABLE TEMPORARY DAY ZONES
To enable Temporary Day Zone selection
and operation, the Brief Day Alarm feature
(installer option P64E 2E) must be ON. If
P64E 2E is OFF, the Temporary Day Zone
feature will be unavailable but Permanent
Day Zones will still operate and will sound
the programmed output while the zone is
unsealed.
P64E 2E is OFF by default.
USER COMMANDS (In normal Operating
Mode).
+ Selection Mode. Enter P
followed by E when in operating mode
to enter Temporary Day Zone selection
mode.
[Zone No.]+Zone Selection. To select
or deselect zones to be Temporary Day
Zones. The selected zones are indicated
by the corresponding zone number.
Permanent Day Zones, (set by installer
option P53E), are not displayed in selection
mode. Permanent Day Zones can be
selected as Temporary Day Zones but this
has no effect as those zones are already
day zones.
Saves changes and returns to normal
operating mode.
+ Enables and Disables
Day Mode. This enables/disables both
Temporary and Permanent Day Zones.
When Day Mode is enabled, any unsealed
day zone will sound the programmed
output for 2 seconds. When Day Mode is
disabled, an unsealed day zone will simply
be indicated on the keypad as an unsealed
zone. (Note: The keypad does not indicate if
Day Mode is enabled or disabled).
AUX 2 OPTION
When the Temporary Day Zone feature
is enabled, the installer option P63E 6E
selects Aux 2 output instead of the strobe
output. This allows a remote warning device
such as a buzzer to be connected for day
zone warning. This may be needed if an
additional audible day zone warning is
needed, although the keypad sonalert,
(P63E 7E), is more than adequate in most
cases.
RELATED OPTIONS
P64E 2E, Brief Day Alarm. Turn this option
on to enable Temporary Day Zones. Factory
default = OFF.
P63E 5E, Day Mode to Reset output.
P63E 6E, Day Mode to Strobe output.
If P64E 2E is ON, then this option sends day
alarms to the AUX 2 output.
P63E 7E, Day Mode to Sonalert.
P63E 8E, Day Mode to Siren output.
P53E, Permanent Day Zone selection.
Temporary Day Zone selections will be
lost if the panel is powered down or reset,
but are not affected by arming/disarming or
entering program mode.
DAY ZONES
Day Zones operate when the panel is fully disarmed, i.e. when Area 1, Area 2 and
Monitor are all off. When alarmed, these zones will activate the assigned outputs
instantly.
The outputs mapped to the Day Zone will turn on while the zone is unsealed. Turn
P64E 2E on, to limit Day Zone alarms to 2 seconds.
PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE:
P53E [Zone No]E toggles the options ON and OFF

24hr ZONES
24hr Zones operate at all times regardless of the mode of panel operation, i.e.
Armed, Disarmed or Monitor. When alarmed, these zones will activate assigned
outputs immediately. To reset those alarms a valid user code must be entered.
Selecting a zone as 24hr will override any other zone type setting such as Instant,
Delayed or Handover. 24hr zones are independent of Area operation. All other
zone types must be assigned to at least one Area to become active.
PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE:
P52E [Zone No]E toggles the options ON and OFF
P52E [Zone No]E OFF: The zone is not a 24hr zone
P52E [Zone No]E ON: The zone is a 24hr zone

PROGRAM MODE LEVEL:
Installer, Remote by PC
FACTORY DEFAULT:
all OFF: No 24hr zones
NOTES:
• The Tamper input is always a 24hr zone
• For silent 24hr zones, deselect the zone/s from
options P54E-P57E (Reset, Strobe, Sonalert
& Siren)
• To change a 24hr zone to any other zone type,
the zone must also be re-assigned to an AREA
(P45E or P46E).

PROGRAMMING
NESS D8 (V4.7) CONTROL PANEL – INSTALLER MANUAL
DEFINITION
Area Partitioning allows the 8 zones to be split into two parti-
tions; Area1 and Area2.
The panel then effectively operates as two separate systems
sharing only the siren outputs and dialler.
USER CODE ASSIGNMENT
A User Code assigned to an Area can Arm and Disarm only
that Area. User Codes assigned to both Areas will operate
both Areas simultaneously.
COMMON AREA ZONES
Zones assigned to both Areas are armed only when Area1 and
Area2 are both armed. This allows the Common Area zone/s
to be shared by both Areas.
ASSIGNING ZONES TO AREAS
Assign (or remove) zones that will operate when Area 2 is armed.
PROGRAMMING SEQUENCE:
P45E [Zone No]E toggles the options ON and OFF for Area1
P45E [Zone No]E OFF: The zone is not in Area1
P45E [Zone No]E ON: The zone is in Area1
P46E [Zone No]E toggles the options ON and OFF for Area2
P46E [Zone No]E OFF: The zone is not in Area2
P46E [Zone No]E ON: The zone is in Area2
EXAMPLE:
To program zones 1~4 for Area 1 and zones 1, 5~8 for Area 2.
In this example, we have assigned zone 1 to both areas, so it becomes a
Common Zone.
P45E use the [Zone No] E sequence to turn ON only zones 1~4.
P46E use the [Zone No] E sequence to turn ON zone 1 and zones 5~8.
P45E, P46E
PROGRAM MODE LEVEL:
Installer, Remote by PC
FACTORY DEFAULT:
No zones assigned to Area 2.
NOTES:
• For options P45E and P46E, [Zone No] E
toggles the selection ON and OFF.
• Zones assigned to BOTH areas become
Common zones.
• If no Area operation is required, assign all
zones to Area 1. (This is also the factory
default).
For example, Office A and Office B operate as separate areas
but the entrance foyer used by both offices is assigned to both
areas meaning it will automatically Arm when both Areas have
Armed. The Common Area then automatically disarms when
either Area1 or Area2 Disarms.
OPERATION
Arming and Disarming is carried out as normal from a single
keypad or separate keypads installed in both areas or by Radio
Key.
Area operation only applies to zones when they are in the
armed state. This means that Day, 24hr and Monitor zones are
independent of the area operations.
Note: Area partitioning is in addition to Monitor Mode. Any
zone may be allocated to any area.
