N-750 Configuration Guide

Version 1.0 October1997
Introduction
This guide is designed to help understand the N-750 panel and the
process of assembling a complete system.
The N-750 is a control/communicator for use in commercial
security and fire applications, with a built-in communicator for
reporting to most central stations. The N-750 includes a
sophisticated access control system, through which you can
monitor and control user access to specified areas of a building.
The benefit of the N-750 is that three separate systems are no
longer needed, everything is included in one panel.
The N-750 is ideal for colleges and universities, hospitals, shop-
ping malls, warehouses, office towers, business campuses, senior
housing, storage facilities, banks, airports, or wherever there is risk
involved.

Glossary of Terms and Definitions
N-750: The N-750 is a control/communicator for
use in residential and commercial security appli-
cations, commercial and residential fire applica-
tions. The N-750 includes a sophisticated access
control system, through which you can monitor
and control user access to specific areas of a
building. Power: 18 VAC, 60 Hz, 50 VA, Temp: 32
to 120 F (0 to 49 C), Dimensions: 15"W x 20"H x
3"D, Weight 17lbs.
N-750-ACAS: The Access Control Administration
Software (N-750-ACAS) enables you to manage
the access control functions of the security
system. Used in conjunction with the N-750
security system, you can use ACAS to manage a
database of users and system events. Establishing
a communication function enables system opera-
tors to upload and store events from the control
panel, form both on and off site locations. This
information can then be used in generating
reports, which can be displayed and printed based
on event selection and sort criteria. N-750-ACAS
also enables management of user and site infor-
mation, such as access codes and security levels,
user profiles, and time schedules.
N-750-ADM: The N-750-ADM is a card reader
interface for the N-750. The N-750-ADM can be
used in conjunction with the N-750-PAIT for a
total combination of 24 devices. The N-750-ADM
has 2 SPDT relays for door lock and door held
open and 2 contact inputs for door egress and
status. The touchpad can also be used to program
the system in addition to arming and disarming
alarms.
N-750-APS: The N-750-APS is a notification and
auxiliary power expander that provides up to 2.5
amps of and 12 volt power for powering notifica-
tion appliances and auxiliary devices. The
N-750-APS uses the N-750 snap track located in
the N-750 cabinet or the N-750-ENC accessory
enclosure.
N-750-APS-24: The N-750-APS-24 is a notification
and auxiliary power expander that provides up to
6 amps of regulated, 24 volt power for powering
notification appliances and auxiliary devices. The
N-750-APS-24 provides its own AC power connec-
tion, battery charging circuit, and battery connec-
tions. Used with security and fire panels, the N-
750-APS-24 enables you to connect and distribute
power to many more devices than your panel may
normally allow.
N-750-BELL: The N-750-BELL module provides an
output for a bell sounding device to annunciate
alarms from the N-750 system.
N-750-BELL-SUP: TheN-750-BELL-SUPprovides
supervision of the N-750-BELL and is required for
UL applications.
N-750-COMM-CBL: The N-750-COMM-CBL is a 3'
RJ31X cord for connecting a phone line to the
built in digital communicator on the N-750. The
cable can also be used when the N-750-DPLM
dual phone line adapter is installed in the N-750.
N-750-DPLM: The N-750-DPLM provides a second
phone line connection. The N-750-DPLM includes
a line monitor and ring detector for a second line.
The N-750-DPLM is required for UL installations.
The N-750-DPLM connects and mounts directly to
the standoffs provided on the panel. Power: 11 to
14 VDC at 20 mA (active only), Temp: 32 to 120
F (0 to 49 C), Dimensions: 2.175"W x 2.375"H x
1.75"D (including mounts).
N-750-ENC: Standard N-750 size enclosure with an
2 snap tracks. Snap tracks are used to mount
accessories such as the N-750-APS and N-750-
SSE. Each enclosure can hold 4 accessories, as
well as 2 BAT-N-750s. Dimensions: 15"W x 20"H x
3"D.
N-750-EOL-UL-10: The N-750-EOL-UL-10 is a 10
pack of End-of-Line UL approved 4.7 k resistors.
The N-750-EOL-UL-10 is used for all hardwire
input zones on the N-750. (The N-750-EOL-UL-10
is not used with the N-750-SS, use the N-750-
EOL-UL-SS).
N-750-EOL-UL-SS: TheN-750-EOL-UL-SS End-of-
Line resistors are a 10 pack of 1.43K ohm resistors
for use with the N-750-SS. The N-750-EOL-UL-SS
is required for UL applications.

Version 1.0 October1997
N-750 Configuration Guide
N-750-GSM: The N-750-GSM is for a ground start
telephone system, and consists of a ground start
chip. Please note that a ground start module
cannot be used in UL applications.
N-750-INPT-CNCT: The N-750-INPT-CNCT is a
connector that plugs into the N-750-PAIT. This
allows for the input zones and output relay of the
N-750-PAIT to be connected. One unit comes
standard with each N-750-PAIT.
N-750-KOHP: The N-750-KOHP provide tamper
proof hole plugs for the N-750 enclosure. The N-
750-KOHP comes in a pack of 6 UL approved
knock out hole plugs.
N-750-PAIT: The N-750-PAIT is a commercial
touchpad that can be used as a door access
station. The N-750-ADM can be used in conjunc-
tion with the N-750-ADM for a total combination
of 24 devices. The N-750 system must have at
least one N-750-PAIT. The N-750-PAIT has 1
SPDT relay for door lock and 2 contact inputs for
door egress and status. The touchpad can also be
used to program the system in addition to arming
and disarming alarms and checking the status of
areas.
N-750-PI: The N-750-PI Serial/Parallel Module
provides one 9 pin RS-232 serial port and one
parallel printer port. Eight N-750-PIs can be used
per N-750. The N-750 can be used for either
connection to a PC directly using the CBL-N-750
or in conjunction with an M-9600 and CBL-2 for
remote communications.
N-750-RDR-CNCT: The N-750-RDR-CNCT is a 5
wire Wiegand connector that plugs into the N-
750-PAIT. This allows a Wiegand format reader to
be plugged directly into the N-750-PAIT. One unit
comes standard with each N-750-PAIT.
N-750-SK: The N-750-SK upload/download soft-
ware is for programming the N-750 system by the
installing dealer or central station. The software
programs partitions, zones, time windows, user
levels, system devices, and central station report-
ing accounts. Only one copy is required per
dealer. Each copy can support an unlimited
number of panels.
N-750-SLTP: The N-750-SLTP is an indoor/outdoor
touchpad with weather resistant housing. The N-
750-SLTP can be used to arm/disarm an N-750
system as well as used for door access as entry
only or in conjunction with a card reader for high
security with a combination card and pin number.
The touchpad has “READY” and “Armed” lights,
but there is no display screen. The N-750-SLTP
must be interfaced with the N-750-ADM. Current
Draw: 10 mA, Temp: 32 to 120 F (0 to 49 C),
Dimensions: 1.5"W x 6.37"H x .5"D.
N-750-SS: The N-750-SS SmartSensor is used in
conjunction with the N-750-SSE. The N-750-SS
connects to serial loops on the N-750-SS control-
ler module. N-750-SS SmartSensor point ID
modules allow connection to and point identifica-
tion of, most security devices. SmartSensor point
ID modules are addressed on-site using an N-750-
PAIT.
N-750-SSE: The N-750-SSE Serial Zone Expander is
a UL listed zone expansion system. The N-750-
SSE is used in conjunction with the N-750-SS
Smart Sensor. Each N-750 system can support a
total of 3 N-750-SSE expanders for a total of 384
points, with 128 points per N-750-SSE. Each point
on the N-750-SSE is addressed with an N-750-SS.
The N-750-SS does not have a built-in end-of-line
resistor, and the N-750-EOL-UL-SS resistor should
be used for all UL Smart Sensor applications.
N-750-TC: The N-750-TC transformer cover is a UL
rated outlet cover for a standard duplex outlet.
The N-750-TC is required for NFPA 71 and NFPA
72A fire alarm installations to protect class 2
transformer and power wiring to N-750 control.
Knockouts provided for 3/4" conduit. Dimensions:
3.625" W x 6.125"H x 2.5"D.
N-750-ZONE: The N-750-ZONE is a hardwire
expander that allows 64 zones to be added to the
N-750 system. A total of six N-750-ZONE mod-
ules can be added to the system (if no other zone
expansion device is being used).
