1.3 Safety instructions
The Hunter-Pro 832/8144 and Captain 8 alarm systems have been registered in accordance with
EN60950 and its rules. EN60950 requires us to advise you the following information:
Hazards of fire and electric shock exist in this alarm system. To reduce the risk of fire or
electric shock, do not expose this alarm system to rain or moisture. Pay attention: Telephone
cords could be a good conductor for lightings energy.
Do not open the door of the alarm system. Dangerous high voltages are present inside of the
enclosure. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
This alarm system should be used with 230VAC/110VAC, 50/60Hz, protected by anti-
electric shock breaker. To prevent electric shocks and fire hazards, do NOT use any other
power source.
Do not spill liquid of any kind onto the unit. If liquid is accidentally spilled onto the unit,
immediately consult a qualified service.
Install this product in a protected location where no one can trip over any line or power cord.
Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
Disconnect all sources of power supply before proceeding with the installation. Pay
attention: do not install low voltage wires near any AC power wires. They should be
installed separately.
Connect the AC transformer output to the terminal block on the control panel as marked.
Connect the AC line cord to line power terminals as marked (GND; N; L).

Hunter-Pro Series & Captain 8 Installation Guide
2. HUNTER-PRO Series
The Hunter-Pro Series has 2 models: 832 for 8-32 zones and 8144 for 8-144 zones.
The series is easy-to-use, hybrid and uses multi-communication channels. It offers complete
panel integration with full-data channels such as: GSM/GPRS, SMS, TCP/IP, PSTN and Long-
range radio.
Figure 1. Hunter-Pro Series PCB (Hunter-Pro P)
2.1 Main features
Hybrid system with up to 32/144 zones, of which up to 24 (in 832) and 32 (in 8144) can
be wireless, using the I/O-WN module;
Support in up to 16 partitions;
Support in zone doubling of the 8 onboard zones;
Support in SMS over PSTN or GSM (requires the GSM-200 or SMS 100 modules);
Support in a new iPhone app that allows to remote control the Hunter-Pro series systems;
Support in RD-200 standalone RFID reader;
In the User’s Option menu, a new menu allows entering the IP address and port number
for connecting to the COMAX application for upload/download data.
Full remote control over the telephone, including activating the outputs;
Full supervision data of wireless zones;
Compatible with RDC & FSK radio transmitters;
Compatible with Visonic and FSK wireless key fobs;
Support in LCD, Graphic and LED keypads, including the RXN-416 LED keypad (version
6.04 & up) for programming;
Integrated communicator for telephone, radio, GSM/GPRS and IP;
Support in split and double reporting in the PSTN, GSM and GPRS channels;
Burglary setup prevention: limited bypass time, zone bypassing authorization, pre-alarm
and more;
Reducing reoccurring reports: a fault occurring more than 5 times an hour will not be
reported any more, unless the system is meanwhile armed or disarmed.

2.3 Battery jump-start
Starting PCB version 3610100 Rev. E. of the Hunter-Pro, if the backup Battery’s voltage drops
under 65.0V for 30 minutes (during AC fault), the control panel disconnects it to prevent full
battery discharge. This feature extends the battery life cycle.
Because of this, the control panel cannot be powered up using only the battery, and must be
connected to AC voltage first.
When AC voltage is not available, do the following:
a) Connect the control panel to the Battery.
b) Momentarily connect the Battery’s (-) terminal to the control panel’s (-) terminal.
c) The control panel will now power up.

3.1 Connecting zones
The overall length of the BUS wires cannot exceed 500 meters. If a longer
distance is required, refer to section 3.2.1, on page 15.
The BUS implements PIMA proprietary protocol.
IMPORTANT! Disconnect all power supply prior to installation!
3.1.1 Common zone wiring
Diagram 4. Zone wiring options
The zone state - Normally Open or Normally Close - is set in the “Zone characteristics” screen;
see section 6.4.1.1, on page 50.
3.1.2 EOL resistor loops
To set a zone with one or two EOL resistor loops, refer to “Zone characteristics” screen,
parameter “E” (see section 6.4.1.1, on page 50) and “Key 5: General Parameters”, first
screen, parameter "2" (see section 6.8, on page 65).
3.2 Zone expanders wiring
The following is a brief scan of the zone and output expansion options. A detailed installation
description is found further on.
Expander
Description
EXP-PRO
UNIV
Local 8 zone expansion card. The zones are always given the numbers 9-16.
See more on section 3.2.4.
The expansion card is connected to the PCB’s “Expansion Card” connector.
I/O-8N
Remote 8 zone expander with an onboard relay;
It is connected to the panel over the BUS wires.
I/O-16
Remote 16 zone expander with an onboard relay;
It is connected to the panel over the BUS wires.
I/O-WN
24 (in Hunter-Pro 832)/32 (in Hunter-Pro 8144) zone wireless expander.
It also supports 24 key fobs.
I/O-R
Remote 8 relay expander; see more on page 20.

3.2.1 Interfacing expanders & keypads on the BUS
PIMA's remote expanders has two terminal blocks for connecting to the BUS braid: "lower"
and "upper", front look. Both has four terminals, numbered 1-4. When the BUS overall length
is up to 500m, the connection is done via the "lower" terminals; see Diagram 5.
To extend the BUS over 500m, connect the first peripheral to the "upper" terminals, that serve
as a buffer and enable to extend the BUS; see Diagram 6.

3.2.2 Zone numbering guidelines
Note the following:
Hardwired zones come before wireless zones.
Local expanders come before any other expander.
The expanders are numbered sequentially, in ascending order according to their ID.

3.2.4 Expander's ID guidelines and setting
Follow the next guidelines when setting an ID:
Each expander must carry a unique ID.
The IDs must be set in sequence. Note that the I/O-16 takes 2 consecutive IDs, e.g., if
the ID is set to 3, the next available ID is 5, and not 4; see the next table.

The ID is set by a dip-switch on the keypad’s PCB. The next figure demonstrates the ID
options. To set the number of expansion cards, refer to section 6.3.2.

3.2.6 Powering the expanders with the PS-2 power supply
PIMA expanders have a “Power supply” connector, for connecting the PS-2 power supply as a
power source, instead of the BUS power source.
Note that when using the PS-2, the BUS’s (+) wire is NOT connected; see the next diagram.
