3. Installation and Wiring
This chapter provides steps for the installation of the AuraSys L-4 control panel
family, and the preliminary testing of the system. It includes a Quick Guide for
fast reference as well as complete programming and wiring instructions.
3.1 Installation Quick Guide
There are a number of steps to installing the unit:
Step Action Section

Preparing the Installation Environment 3.2.1

Preparing the Wiring 3.2.2

Mounting the Control Panel 3.2.3

Installing Keypads (Optional) 3.2.4

Wiring the L-4 System 4
3.2 Installation Prerequisites
Unit installation is limited to the control panel and to the keypads. Installation
instructions for expansion modules are included in appendices in this manual.
For information on installing the various detectors, please refer to the
individual manuals supplied with the detector.
3.2.1 Preparing the Installation Environment
Establish the control panel location using the following guidelines:
Locate the control panel in a place where the temperature is within the
specified limits for operation.
When distributing wiring, avoid putting the system wires close to house
wiring to reduce capacitive coupling of noise.
Locate the control panel in the center of the premises to avoid long runs
to any one location.
Install the panel 130 cm +/- 10 cm from the floor. Make sure to leave 15
cm all around the control panel for ventilation and/or wiring entry. The
panel should be installed at eye level to ease in making
connections/repairs.
3.2.2 Preparing the Wiring
The control panel provides 12 VDC up to either 1 Ampere for the L-4 and L-4K
or 1.7 Ampere for the L-4PCBA for add-ons (expansion modules) and sensors.

Installation and Wiring
AuraSys™ L-4 Family Installation Manual 17
The maximum wire length between the panel and accessories depends on the
amount of current drawn by the accessory and the gauge of the conductors
(wires) used.
The distance between the panel and the furthest keypad or add-on must not
exceed 200 meters due to the capacitance on the data line.
3.2.3 Mounting the Control Panel
The L-4 family of control panels requires mounting inside a secured enclosure,
such as a lockable metal or plastic box.
The L-4 family comes in several versions, with an enclosure and without:
L-4PCBA – no enclosure; adaptable for installation in customer-supplied
cabinet
L-4C - PCB version incased in a Metal box, comes in three models, with
220 adaptor for Europe, with 110 adaptor for Latin America, without
adaptor for US
L-4D - PCB version incased in a specially designed plastic box, comes in
three models, with 220 adaptor for Europe, with 110 adaptor for Latin
America, without adaptor for US
L-4 – plastic enclosure with a 3-state key switch
L-4K – plastic enclosure with a 6-button arming keypad
Follow the below instructions to mount the L-4 control panel family based on
the model you have.
To install the L-4PCB A panel:
1. Using the holes dimensions and locations shown in Figure 6, prepare the
mounting enclosure for the L-4 PCB board.
2. Carefully and securely attach the L-4 PCB board to the mounting
apparatus in the mounting enclosure.
3. Wire the panel according to the wiring instructions (see Chapter 4).
4. Close and secure the enclosure.
