1.1 The Devices
NOTE 5: (IMPORTANT!) If an expansion module with a power supply on board is connected,
the D2+ terminal MUST NOT be connected between the main bus and module.
All PCX peripherals; LCD keypads,
readers, expanders etc. are connected
via the D1-, D2+, D3 and D4 terminals.
This is an example of what a typical PCX
bus may look like.
General Principles:
NOTE 1: No alarm system cable should
be run with other cables carrying AC or
digital signals.
NOTE 2: The cables should be
protected by the use of grommets
where appropriate.
NOTE 3: For greater than 1000m range
a standard isolated RS485 repeaters
required.
NOTE 4: There MUST be a ferrite bead
fitted to one of the outgoing data lines
and secured inside the PCX case itself.
The Ferrite bead is supplied packaged
with a cable-tie which must be used to
secure it in the case and prevent it
shorting any electrical contacts (Ferrite
as shown).
There must also be a ferrite bead fitted
to the data wires of a PCX-EXT-BK/W (if
connected). The Ferrite bead is supplied
with the reader.

NOTE 1: 1 x PCX-RIX32-WE can be connected to the PCX 46 App. This expander allows 32 inputs which
are separated into 4 addresses (each address enables 8 wireless inputs). It is possible to mix the wired
and wireless remote expanders. For more information please see page: 39.
*NOTE 2: If the PCX-PROX/INT (Internal Tag Reader) is programmed as an 'Arm/Disarm' device, 2
inputs are enabled. If the PCX-PROX/INT is programmed as 'Entry Control' or 'Access Control' only 1
input is enabled.

EN50131-6:2008 Rated Output
In accordance with EN50131-6:2008, the PCX 46 APP standby times and effective output currents depend on the
Security Grade of the system and how 230V mains missing fault is signalled to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
Power supplies are rated in accordance with the requirements of EN50131-6, which are related to the maximum
battery size that can be accommodated in the housing and vary according to the grade of the system in which
they are installed, as per the following table:

3.2 Important Installation Notes
Ensure wiring is done to the national wiring regulations in the country where the installation is
taking place. In the UK, this is BS 7671 Requirements for electrical installations; IET Wiring
Regulations (17th edition). If in doubt, consult a local qualified electrician.
Ensure that a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the premises installation wiring
shall be provided external to the equipment with a contact separation of at least 3,0mm and
connected as closely as possible to the supply. Example: Fused Spur Unit
When fixing external wires, ensure that means are provided in the installation to prevent the SELV
(Safety Electrical Low Voltage) or signal circuits from coming into contact with live parts of the
power supply circuit. Wires shall be fixed near their terminal blocks.
The end of stranded conductor shall not be consolidated by soft soldering at places where the
conductor is subjected to contact pressure. Example: Must not solder ends of wires which are to be
secured in detector and control panel terminal connectors.
On completion of wiring use tie-wraps to prevent any loose wires causing a safety hazard (material
of cables tie shall be rated at least HB or better).
Cables ties and hoses shall be separate for power supply cable and SELV (Safety Electrical Low
Voltage) wirings.
Size of protective bonding conductors: minimum section 1.5mm². Example: Electrical Earth wire
connections.
