Getting Started
Review this manual before you begin to determine
hardware and wiring requirements for the features you
want to use. Have the following handy as you read
through the manual:
• Program Record Sheet (35120)
• Program Entry Guide (35121)
• Security System User’s Guide
Mount the Enclosure
Open the cover to access the mounting holes in the rear of
the enclosure. Note the wiring label on the inside of the
enclosure cover.
Mount it in the desired location. Be sure there is enough
clearance to open the door for maintenance. Mount the
panel into the enclosure a shown in Figure 1, below.
Insert the two support posts in the retainer holes. Slide the
top of the panel into the two retainer tabs. Once in the
tabs, the panel will rest on the two support posts. Secure
the panel with the supplied screws.
Run the Premises Wiring
Run the necessary wiring throughout the premises and
pull the wires into the enclosure. Do not make any
connections yet.
Wire Length
Wire Length for points is limited only by the resistance on
the loop and potential EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
problems.
Wire resistance on the Point 1 sensor loop must be less
than 50Ω. Measure the wire resistance before installing
smoke detectors. Short the end-of-line resistor before
metering the wire.
Resistance on the sensor loops for Points 2 to 6 must be
less than 100Ωwith the end-of-line resistor shorted and
the detection devices connected.
Maximum wire length for the transformer is 50 feet (18
AWG, stranded).
Maximum wire length for all keypads is 500 feet (22
AWG).
EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference)
AC wiring can induce EMI (both noise and low level
voltage) into adjacent wiring. Run phone and sensor loop
wiring away from AC conductors, including the transformer
wire. Run keypad wiring away from AC and phone wiring.
EMI may also occur if you install the panel or run system
wires near the following:
• Computer network system
• Fluorescent fixtures
• Telephone cabling
• Ham radio transmitter site
• Heavy machinery and motors
• High voltage electrical equipment
• PBX telephone system
• Public Service (police, fire departments, etc.) using
radio communications
• Radio station transmitter site, or other broadcasting
station equipment
• Welding shop
If you think that EMI may be a problem, use shielded
cable. The drain wire for the shielded cable must have
continuity from the earth ground terminal on the control
panel, to the end of the wire run.

Connect to Earth Ground
Terminal 3
To help prevent damage from electrostatic charges or
other transient electrical surges, connect the panel to
earth ground at the panel’s earth ground terminal (terminal
3) before making any other connections.
A grounding rod or cold water pipe are recommended
earth ground references.
Radionics does not recommend a telephone or electrical
ground for the earth ground connection. Use 18 AWG wire
maximum under the terminal. Use a spade lug or splice for
a larger wire.
Do not connect any other panel terminals to earth ground.
The panel’s common terminals and earth ground terminal
are electrically isolated.
Transformer
Terminals 1 and 2 (16.5VAC)
Connect the transformer to terminals 1 and 2 before
plugging it into the power source.
Use 18 AWG wire to connect the transformer to the panel.
Wire length should be kept as short as possible. Maximum
wire length is 50 feet.
Never share the transformer with other equipment :
Foreign grounds on the AC input may damage the panel’s
power circuit.
Battery
Place the battery upright in the base of the enclosure. First
plug the connector on the negative (black) battery wire to
the negative (-) side of the battery.
Next plug the connector on the positive (red) battery wire
to the positive (+) side of the battery.
D126 Battery required for fire and combined fire/
burglary systems
: In order to meet standby battery
requirements, use the Radionics D126, 12v 7.0Ah battery
for fire and combined fire/burglary systems.
Charge the Battery as You Work
Lock the Standby Switch
Locking the pin in the standby position allows you to
charge the battery as you install the detection devices and
keypads. Lock the pin down now. See Figure 2.
With the Standby Switch locked down, the panel deacti-
vates the external relay outputs, suppresses reports, and
disables all arming functions.
Lock the Standby Switch down to program the panel
locally, from the keypad, or the D5200.
Releasing the Standby Switch from the closed position
resets the panel. The panel resets all its timers and
counters, and clears all buffers. If the panel is armed,
releasing the standby switch causes the panel to disarm.
Figure 2: Standby Switch
Install Detection Devices,
Keypads, and Bells
No Connection to the Panel Yet
Install and wire detection devices, keypads, and indicating
devices (bells, sirens, or strobes for example) at their
locations throughout the premises. DO NOT make the
connections at the panel end of the wiring yet.
Number of Sensors
When using Point 1 as a fire point, the number of detec-
tion devices you can connect to its sensor loop is limited.
See Point 1 on page 8.
The number of detection devices you can connect to the
sensor loops for Points 2 to 6 is limited only by the
resistance on the loop. Resistance must be less than
100Ωwith the detection devices connected.

Continue Connections to the Panel
Power Down First
Unplug the transformer and disconnect the battery to
make the remaining connections to the panel.
Alarm Output
Terminals 4 and 5 (+Alrm-)
The Alarm Output terminals provide a 10.2 VDC to 13.9
VDC output when activated.
The positive (+) terminal
provides steady positive output
. The negative (-)
terminal provides a pulsed or steady negative output as
programmed.
Use this power for bells, siren drivers, piezo fire sounders,
electronic horns, or other devices.
Available Power
The panel combines power produced by the power supply
with power from the secondary power source (the battery)
to produce a total of 1.5A of alarm power at the Alarm
Output terminals.
D126 Battery required for fire and combined fire/
burglary systems
: In order to meet standby battery
requirements, use the Radionics D126, 12 V 7.0Ah
battery for fire and combined fire/burglary systems.
Fire System Power Formula
To calculate the current available at the Alarm Output
terminals for fire and combined fire/burglary systems:
1. Add together the current draws for all devices
connected to the negative alarm output terminal.
This total is the current required for the Normal
Standby Condition (NSC). This total must be less
than 140mA.
2. Subtract the NSC current required calculated in step
1 from the Primary Alarm Current, 860mA. The
difference is the Alarm Current available for the
Alarm Output terminals.
In formula format: Primary Alarm Current - NSC current
required = Alarm Current available
Keypads
Terminals 6, 7, and 8 (Data, and +Aux-)
You can connect up to eight keypads to the panel.
The installation sheet packed with each keypad contains
mounting instructions. Wire keypads to the panel in
parallel as shown in Figure 3.
You must use a minimum of five feet of wire (22 AWG)
when connecting the keypad to the panel
. A short on
the positive Aux terminal (terminal 7) within five feet of the
panel prevents the panel from operating correctly.
Maximum wire length for all keypads connected to Data
and Aux (+,-) terminals (terminals 6, 7, and 8) combined
is 500 feet (22 AWG).
Extra power needed for more keypads. Review
Power
Outputs
on page 12 to determine the total power output
requirements for your system. Instructions for using stand
alone power supplies are included.

3/97 P/N 33120C © 1997 Radionics
Auxiliary Power
Terminal 7 and 8(+Aux)
The continuous current draw for powered devices con-
nected to terminal 7, including keypads, must not exceed
500mA (140mA for fire and combined fire/burglary
systems). Devices powered from this output must operate
over a range of 10.2 VDC to 13.9 VDC.
You must use a minimum of five feet (22 AWG) of wire
when connecting devices mounted outside the
enclosure to terminal 7. A short on terminal 7 within five
feet of the panel prevents the panel from operating
correctly.
Checking Continuous Current Draw
The panel allows you to check current draw using the
keypad. For more information about this and other keypad
diagnostic features, see the D2812 Keypad Diagnostics
manual (33124).
External Relays
Terminals 9 and 10(Ext1 and Ext2)
You can program the External Relay terminals (terminals 9
and 10) to provide outputs for two external relays. Review
the RELAYS Group in the D2812 Program Entry Guide for
a description of the relay functions available.
Connect a D133 (or D134) Relay Module for each of the
external relay outputs you intend to use. Figure 4 shows
the connections (the D134 combines the functionality of
two D133 relays in a single enclosure.).
Warning: Do not connect wiring for external relays
directly to terminals 9 and 10. Install D133 (or D134)
modules connected to terminals 9 and 10 in the enclosure
with the panel as shown in Figure 1.
Connect the Points
On-Board Points
Point 1
Terminals 11 and 12 (1+ and 1-)
Point 1 on the D2812 is a powered, supervised point.
The panel monitors the Point 1 sensor loop for normal,
shorted, or open conditions. Programming determines how
the panel responds to those conditions. See the D2812
Program Entry Guide.
Terminal 11 provides positive voltage to 2-wire detection
devices. Terminal 12, the loop return (-), is isolated from
earth ground.
The Keypad Reset function interrupts power to this sensor
loop to reset smoke detectors.
Use a 2kΩend-of-line resistor for Point 1. See Figure 5 on
page 9 for point wiring.

Make the Telephone Connections
Phone Jack
To prevent jamming of reports, wire the RJ31X jack before
the in-house phone system to support line seizure. See
Figure 6. Line seizure provides for a temporary interrup-
tion of normal phone usage while the communicator
transmits data.
After installation, confirm that the panel seizes the line,
acquires dial tone, reports correctly to the receiver, and
releases the phone line to the in-house phone system.
Power Up
Connect the battery and then plug in the transformer.
Leave the Standby Switch locked down for now.
Program the Panel
Use the Keypad, Radionics D5200 Programmer, or a
remote programmer to program the panel. See the
Program Entry Guide for programming options and
keypad programming instructions.
If you’re programming from the keypad or using the
D5200, make sure the Standby Switch is locked down.
See Figure 8.

Check for Alarm Verification
You must check the Alarm Verification box in the
lower left hand corner of the Label if you programmed
Point 1 for Fire with Verification (Digit 1 = 2).
See
POINT CODES in the Program Entry Guide for more
information.
Test the System
After finishing installation and programming, make a
complete functional test of the system. Test the panel and
all devices for proper operation. Test after you first
program the panel and after any subsequent programming
session.
Clear after test : To clear the alarm memory and report
buffer, close the Standby Switch for 2 seconds, then re-
lease it. The panel returns to service in the disarmed state.
Detailed Description
Primary (AC) Power Circuit
A 16.5 VAC, 25VA transformer (Radionics model D1625) is
the primary power source for the panel.
The AC power circuit provides 1.0 Amps of rectified DC
power. The panel reserves 140mA of this power for
internal operations and 500mA for continuously powered
devices. Under alarm conditions 860mA of power is
available for continuously powered and alarm indicating
devices combined.
Transient suppressors and spark gaps protect the circuit
from power surges. This protection relies on the ground
connection. Make sure the panel’s ground terminal is
connected to a proper ground.
AC Power Failure
The panel indicates an AC power failure when power at
the terminals labeled 16.5VAC is missing for 60 seconds.
The AC Fail Buzz/Rpt program item sets the panel’s
response to detected AC failure. The panel indicates an
AC power restoral 60 seconds after power restores to the
terminals labeled 16.5VAC.
Secondary (DC) Power
A 12V, 4.0 Ah sealed lead-acid rechargeable battery
(Radionics D1240) supplies secondary power for auxiliary
and alarm outputs. The battery also powers the system
during interruptions in primary (AC) power.
Lead Acid Batteries Only: The panel charging circuit is
only calibrated for lead-acid batteries. Do not use gel-cell
or nicad batteries.
Larger Battery Increases Backup Time: To increase
battery backup time, connect a larger capacity battery, up
to 7 Ah (Radionics D126).
Battery Replacement
Radionics recommends battery replacement every three
to five years under normal use. Exceeding the maximum
output ratings, or installing the transformer in an outlet
that is routinely switched off, causes heavy discharges.
Routine heavy discharges can lead to premature battery
failure.
D135A Prevents Deep Discharge : The D135A Low
Battery Cutoff Module protects the battery from deep
discharge during extended power outages. Deep dis-
charge can cause permanent battery damage.
Battery Supervision
When the battery drops to 12.1 VDC the keypad indicates
a trouble condition. The panel transmits a BATTERY LOW
report.
When the battery voltage returns to 13.0 VDC and there is
AC power at the terminals labeled 16.5VAC, the keypad
returns to normal operation. The panel transmits a
BATTERY RESTORAL report.
Investigate low battery reports right away : If primary
(AC) power is off and the discharge continues, the panel
becomes inoperative when the battery voltage drops
below 10.2 VDC.
If the battery is disconnected , it takes 60 seconds for
the panel to recognize the condition.

Battery Charging Circuit
Float Charge
The float voltage for the battery charging circuit is 13.9
VDC. Deduct any continuous load for devices connected
to the panel from 860mA to find the maximum current
available for charging. At 13.9 VDC the battery is fully
charged and is maintained with a trickle charge of approxi-
mately 5mA.

Power Outputs
D2012 Circuit Protection
Two self-resetting protection devices protect the panel
from short circuits on both the auxiliary and alarm power
outputs.
Bell circuit protection : A short on the alarm power
output while the bell is ringing disables this output until it
times out or you perform a panel reset.
Extra Power for Keypads
You may need to add one or more D8132 Battery Charger/
Power Supply Modules for the number of keypads you
want to use. Figure 10 shows the D8132 powering
keypads in a stand-alone configuration.
For UL Certificated accounts, use a UL listed power
supply. The D8132 is not UL listed as a stand-alone power
supply for fire and burglary applications.
Figure 10: Power for Keypads
Telephone
Dialing Format
You can program the panel to use DTMF or pulse dialing.
See
Phone Parameters in the Program Entry Guide .
Communication Failure
After 5 attempts to reach the receiver (10 attempts if two
phone numbers are programmed), the panel goes into
communication failure. The panel clears any reports in its
phone buffer. The panel sounds a tone at the keypad
indicating trouble.
Pressing the Clear key silences the tone. When communi-
cation restores (a report is acknowledged by the receiver),
the keypad returns to normal operation.
D2012 and D8132 (or other power supply) must share
COMMON
: Note that Figure 10 shows the common from
the D8132 module connected to both keypad’s common
and the Aux- (common) terminal on the panel. Do not

Points
Point Parameters
On-Board Point 1
Point 1 is a powered sensor loop. Review the Radionics
Technogram: Smoke Detectors Compatible with the
D2012
(P/N 35119) for a list of compatible detectors.
Point 1 is supervised with a 2K EOL resistor.
Points 2 to 6
Points 2 to 6 are supervised with 1.0K resistors.
Open Loop = Greater than 8.9 VDC, but less than
13.9 VDC.
Normal Loop = Greater than 2.5 VDC, but less than
8.5 VDC.
Shorted Loop = Greater than 0.0 VDC, but less
than 2.0 VDC.
Point Response Time
The panel scans point sensor loops every 500 millisec-
onds. A point must be faulted for 2 scans (one second)
before the panel initiates an alarm.
Keyswitch
Description
You can connect a momentary contact arming station
(keyswitch) to turn the D2012 on and off. Connect the
keyswitch to any point sensor loop.
You can use the external relay outputs and D133 (or
D134) Relay Modules to activate arming status lights or
keyswitch arming stations. See the
Relays section in the
Program Entry Guide .
Programming
See the POINT CODES Group in the
Program Entry
Guide
for the correct programming for points used for
keyswitches.
Installation
Connect the end-of-line resistor for the point at the
keyswitch so that the switch shorts the resistor when it
operates. An open on the circuit produces an alarm if the
area is armed and a trouble if it is disarmed. See Figure
12.
Keyswitch Operation
Shorting and restoring the point sensor loop toggles the
system ON and OFF. All faulted points are bypassed. See
the POINT CODES Group in the
Program Entry Guide .
Silencing the Bell
To silence the bell (stop Alarm Output) if the system in ON
(or part ON), operate the keyswitch to turn the system
OFF. If the area is OFF, operating the keyswitch only
silences the bell. It does not turn the system ON.
Figure 12: Keyswitch
Ground Start
Some telephone systems require
a momentary ground input to
initiate dial tone. To interface with
a ground start system, connect a
D133 (or D134) relay as shown in
Figure 11. See
RELAYS Group in
the
Program Entry Guide for
instructions on programming the
external relay output for Ground
Start.
The panel’s ground terminal must
be connected to an earth ground
reference.

Installation Guide
for UL Applications
Introduction
The System Chart references components evaluated and
listed by Underwriters’ Laboratories for compatibility with
the panel. These components meet the basic system
requirements for the applicable standard.
The System Wiring Diagram, Issue A shows the relation-
ship between the panel and the accessory components
referred to in the
System Chart . See the installation and
operation instructions for each component for detailed
instructions.
Optional Compatible Equipment
You can use UL listed components that do not require
evaluation for electrical compatibility in many applications
when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Burglary Applications
You can use UL listed burglary alarm sensors that do not
require evaluation for electrical compatibility in burglary
applications. In some cases you must use a UL listed
Radionics interface module in conjunction with the
sensors. Consult the individual component specification
and installation documents to determine suitability.
In burglary applications with one 7.0 Ah, 12 VDC battery,
the panel supports an auxiliary output of 680mA and an
alarm (bell) output of 1.5A configured as necessary. For
additional loadings refer to the
Current Rating Chart for

.
For commercial burglary installations, use a maximum of
45 seconds of entry delay and a maximum of 60 seconds
of exit delay.
Test Weekly : UL Standard 1023 requires a weekly test.
Configure the User System Test to test the battery. See
Configuration in the Program Entry Guide for instructions.
Fire Applications
You can use UL listed fire initiating devices not requiring
electrical compatibility evaluation in any application. For
example: four-wire smoke detectors, heat detectors,
waterflow switches, and manual pull stations are suitable
fire initiating devices. Consult the individual component
specification and installation documents to determine
suitability.
When using four-wire smoke detectors, install a suitable
power supervision unit according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Use the D133 (or D134) Relay Module to
provide reset capability.
In fire applications with one 7.0Ah, 12 VDC battery, the
panel supports an auxiliary output of 140mA and a bell
output of 720mA configured as necessary. For additional
loadings refer to the Current Rating Chart for Standby
Battery Calculations
.
Two-wire detectors must be electrically compatible, and
must be UL listed for use with the D2012. See the
Radionics
Technogram: Smoke Detectors Compatible
with the D2012
(P/N 35119), or you may contact the
detector manufacturer.
Test Weekly: Radionics recommends testing fire and
combined fire/burglary systems weekly. Configure the
User System Test to test the battery. See Configuration in
the
Program Entry Guide for instructions.
For all Burglary applications, the panel must be pro-
grammed to send a supervisory signal to the central
station a minimum of once every 24 hours. Do not set or
program an automatic telephone dialer or similar device to
place a call to a police station number that is not specifi-
cally assigned by that station for such service.
Sounding Device
The sounding device shall operate for at least four minutes
before an automatic cutoff for Household Burglary
applications and at least 15 minutes for Commercial
Burglary applications.
For all Commercial Burglary applications, the system must
be programmed to sound the audible device every time
the system is armed.
Enclosures
The D2803 enclosure is suitable for Household Fire and
Burglary applications only.
Enclosure tamper protection causing an immediate alarm
signal is required for all burglary applications.
