INPUTS
Monitored Zones:
The Ness D-8 has 9 separate monitored inputs.
• 8 x Fully programmable Zone inputs
• 1 x 24 hour Tamper input.
Each input must be terminated with a 2K2 (2,200 ohm)
end-of-line resistor as supplied. These inputs must be
sealed with this EOL resistor regardless if they are being
used as detection inputs or not. The inputs are protected
against transient spikes through modern circuit board
design. If there are two detection loops being used for
any single zone input, then cable security may be
provided on both loops as shown in the series Zone
diagrambelow.
Note: Each pair of zones share a common terminal.
Ordinary Zone Connection
Series Zone Connection
The Tamper input is wired in an identical manner to the
Zones. It MUST be fitted with a 2K2 end-of-line resistor.
If you have 2 external siren covers, each cover can be
individually monitored by wiring as described in the
serieszonediagram.TheTampercommondoesnothave
a dedicated terminal. The Tamper common can be the 0
Volt terminal next to the Tamper terminal or any of the
other zone input common terminals.
For wiring details of Keypads, Keyswitches, Panic
Buttons and Warning devices, see the wiring diagrams
in the wiring section of this manual.

can supply 100mA. Zone alarms may be selected to trig-
ger this output by option P58E.
Aux 2:
This output is an open collector (switch negative) which
can supply 100mA. Zone alarms may be selected to trig-
ger this output by option P58E.
OUTPUTS
NOTES:
1: Output Fusing.
Power outputs on the D-8 are protected by Automatic
Resettable electronic fuses. Resetting a fuse that has
opened is automatic once the overload is removed.
2: Battery Operation.
A properly charged battery MUST be installed to ensure
the Siren, Strobe and Reset outputs operate correctly.
12 Volt Output:
A regulated 13.8 V dc output is available to power detec-
tors and ancillary equipment. This output is available
from two sets of terminals marked +12V and 0V. It also
hasaResettablefuse. Amaximum loadof 500mAmaybe
connected to these terminals.
Siren:
The Ness D-8 has an on-board siren driver, therefore
only horn speakers should to be connected to this out-
put. A maximum of 3 x 8 Ohm horn speakers (Ness Part
No. NOI 110 or 100-171 Internal Siren) can be connected
to this output. This output will reset at the end of siren
time or whenever the panel is reset, whichever comes
first. This output has an internal Resettable fuse.
Strobe:
A latched 12V DC voltage output for connecting strobes.
Thisoutputwill latch on in the event ofanalarmand stay
on until the panel is reset. A maximum of 2 x 1 Watt
Strobes(NessPartNo. NOI300)canbeconnectedtothis
Output. This output has a Resettable fuse.

CONTROLS AND INDICATIONS
Ness D-8 Keypad
The Ness D-8 LED Keypad consists of a Backlit 18 button
rubber keypad, 19 status lights and an internal beeper,
contained in a modern white plastic housing. The hous-
ing has a hinged front lid to protect the rubber buttons
when not in use. All the electronics are contained on a
single circuit board inside the housing.
Audible Indications
Every time a button is pressed the panel responds with a
very brief beep in acknowledgment.
The beeper is also used to indicate whether the entry
was valid or invalid. For example whenever the “Enter”
button is pressed, all the buttons pressed before it are
checked, to see whether they are valid. If they are valid,
the response will be 3 short beeps.
If they are invalid (or incorrect) the response will be 1
long beep and all previous keypresses they will be
ignored.
At other times, the beeper will indicate various warnings
such as 10 beeps for loss of Mains Power, or Low
Battery.
Installation of Keypad
• Unclip the top half of the housing by
pushing the top clips down with a
small screwdriver and pulling the
housing forward.
• Screw the base of the keypad hous-
ing to the wall using the 4 mounting
holes provided.
• Bring the 4 connecting wires to the terminal block on
the PCB that is mounted on the lid of the Keypad housing.
• Connect the wires to the screw terminals as per the
wiring diagram shown in this manual.
• Clip the top half onto the base by first engaging the
bottom clips and swinging the top closed. Push hard to
ensure the clips engage.
• Attach the Zone list label on the inside of the hinged lid.
Keypad Wiring
The D-8 Keypad connects to the D-8 Control Panel via a 4
wire connection. A Maximum of 3 keypads can be con-
nected, each wired in parallel.
The maximum cable run is 100M using 14/0.20mm cable.
If the cable is shared, then divide 100m by the number of
keypads to be connected. eg. 2 keypads on the cable
reduces the maximum run to 50M.
Dialler Telephone Line Wiring
The D-8 dialler connects to a telephone line via a Mode 3
or 5 socket. A Mode 3 or 5 connection allows the dialler
tocutoffanyexisting devices(eg. phones,faxes etc.)and
seize the telephone line so it can dial out. This method
gives priority to the D-8 dialler.
If a Mode 3 or 5 is not available on site then a Mode 3
double adaptor can be used. This allows for a dialler and
phone to be connected at the same socket. These double
adaptor plugs are available from retail outlets.
The dialler must always be connected directly to the
incoming phone line. Connecting to a PABX line may
lessen your security and or increase the problems you
may encounter. On some PABX systems the dialler may
not work at all. eg. Do not connect to an extension line of
a Telstra Commander system.
EARTH TERMINAL
For increased protection of the system electronics
against lightning strikes, connect a good Earth to the
Earth Terminal on the D-8.

PROGRAMMING RADIO KEY CODES

NOTES:
1. A RADIO DEVICE operates in parallel with the
existing hard wired zone input. Any device
connected to the zone input (both radio and hard
wired) when triggered will unseal the zone.
2. If a radio device is used the zone input must be
sealed with a 2.2K EOL Resistor.
3. If Radio devices are used vibration sensor
(P30E zone LED on) settings must be left at
factory defaults.
1. To learn a RADIO DEVICE prepare the device to
transmit (see above)
i) Select the Zone Access Code (P01 E to P08 E).
The response is 3 beeps. If a code already exists
then the appropriate zone led is displayed.
ii) Press 1E to start the panel RADIO DEVICE learning.
iii) Trigger the radio device to be learned. (See above)
A code already in use is rejected (long beep)
unless already assigned to the current zone.
The response is 3 beeps when accepted and the
appropriate zone light flashes. A steady zone light
indicates that the existing code for that zone has
not changed.
4. To clear a RADIO DEVICE:
i) Select the Zone Access Code (P01 E to P08 E).
The response is 3 beeps.
ii) Press 0E to clear any existing code.
The response is 3 beeps.
Examples:
1. Zone 4 to learn a new RADIO DEVICE:
P 04E 1E then TRIGGER the RADIO DEVICE.
2. To clear Zone 5 RADIO DEVICE: P05E 0E
Factory Pre-set: All device codes are cleared.

Program or Clear Zone Radio Device Code P01E-P08E
The D-8 can operate with Radio devices such as the
Ness Radio PIR and both Radio Reed switch versions.
This makes the D-8 a very flexible system. All radio
devicesare programmed with aRandomcode at the fac-
tory, it is possible though to program radio devices with
the same 16 bit code except for the Mini Reed switch
which random code cannot be changed.
The options P01E - P08E options are used to assign
RADIO DEVICES to ZONE INPUTS.
The random code used by a Radio Device must be learnt
by the panel to assigned it to a zone.
This is done by first selecting the zone using P01E (for
Zone 1 assignment) to P08E (for Zone 8 assignment ).
If a Radio device code is not programmed then the zone
LED will be OFF.
If a Radio Device code already exists then that zone LED
will be ON.
PREPARING DEVICES TO TRANSMIT
When the Radio Device is ready to transmit Press 1E to
start the code learning. To program a Radio PIR to the
D-8 connect the battery, the PIR will transmit several
messages,when thecode isaccepted 3 beepsare given
and the zone light will flash. To program a Radio Reed
switch to the D-8 have the battery connected with the
magnet is a closed position. eg. sealed with the magnet
next to the reed switch.
Move the magnet away from the reed switch and the
Reedswitch will transmit several messages, when the
code is accepted 3 beeps are given and the zone light
will flash.
