2. Installation
Installation Sequence
Before attempting to install the alarm system, read this
section. Once you have an overall understanding of the
installation sequence, carefully work through each step.
1: Design the Layout
Make a rough sketch of the premises to get an idea of where
all alarm detection devices, keypads and other modules are
to be located.
2: Mounting the Panel
The control panel should be mounted in a dry area close to
an unswitched AC power source and the incoming
telephone line.
!You must complete all wiring before connecting the
battery, or applying AC to the panel.
!Some versions of the control panel are not supplied
with an integral mains transformer. If this is the case a
suitable external mains transformer will be required
(see page 73)
3: Install the Keypads
Mount and connect the keypads to the control panel.
4: Zone Wiring
Install detection devices and connect to control panel.
5: Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens and
telephone line connections.
6: Apply Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 5 are completed, apply power to the control
panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the positive
terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the
AC.
7: Complete the Installation Records & Defaults Booklet
Supplied with the control panel is the “Installation Records
and Defaults” booklet. This booklet allows you to record all
programming data and also lists all program defaults. It is
recommended that the booklet is filled in before attempting
to program the system.
8: Program the System
Using the Programming Worksheets program the control
panel in accordance with the procedures in Section 3.
9: Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and
functions are operating as required.
Control Panel
Mounting
Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall using at least
three appropriate screws. The rear casing has been
designed with a central key-hole slot so that mounting is
possible without removing the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
The angled slot in the lower corner has been provided to
allow the panel to be levelled easily. If the PCB has to be
removed, carefully pull back the two front PCB securing
clips, lift the front of the PCB and slide it downward. To
replace the PCB simply reverse the above procedure.
!It is essential to ensure that none of the fixing slots or
cable entries are accessible after fixing.
Mains cabling must be secured (e.g. with a cable tie)
to one of the anchor points provided.
Wiring the Control Panel
WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL
BEFORE connecting the control panel
ALWAYS disconnect the supply at the consumer unit.
If in ANY doubt consult a qualified electrician.
ONLY connect the mains supply to the mains
terminal block, NEVER connect the mains supply
directly to the PCB.
The system installation MUST be carried out in
accordance with the national safety standards, for
example EN 60950: 1992.
ALWAYS refer to National Wiring Regulations when
conducting installation.
An appropriate and readily accessible
disconnection device (e.g. an unswitched fused
spur) MUST be provided as part of the installation.
The disconnection device must NOT be fitted in a
flexible cord.
Where identification of the neutral in the mains
supply is NOT possible, a two-pole disconnection
device MUST be used.
The building mains supply MUST incorporate
appropriate short-circuit backup protection (e.g. a
fuse or circuit breaker) of High Breaking Capacity
(HBC, at least 1500A).
Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for
the rated current (i.e. at least 0.75mm2).

terminals in order to provide continuous system operation in
the event of mains failure. The battery output is protected by
fuse F1 (1.6 Amp).
4: Data Bus Connections
The data bus terminals provide connections to the remote
keypads and Premier 8X Remote Zone Expander. The + and
– terminals provide power whilst the T and R terminals are
transmit and receive data.
5: Siren/Spk output
These terminals are used for driving speakers, sirens or
bells. The output can be programmed for speaker driver or
for Siren/bell driver (see page 34). This output is supervised,
if no warning devices are fitted, either fit a 1KΩresistor
between these two terminals or disable the siren
supervision, see page 35.
6: Auxiliary 12V Power
These terminals provide auxiliary power for devices that
require 12V power. The auxiliary output is protected by fuse
F2 (1 Amp).
7: Zone Inputs 1 to 8
These terminals provide the connections to the zone inputs.
The Premier 816 and Premier 832 have 8 zone inputs,
whereas the Premier 412 has only 4 zone inputs. There are
several ways to wire a zone (see page 12). Each zone is fully
programmable, see page 23 for information on
programming zones.

connected to the telephone line via a standard RJ11 patch
lead.
21: Engineers Keypad Connection
A portable Engineers keypad can be plugged onto this
connector to allow easier access for programming and
testing.
22: Network Data Indicator LEDs
The red transmit (Tx) LED indicates that data is flowing out
of the control panel and normally flashes very quickly. The
green receive (Rx) LED indicates that data is flowing into the
control panel. The green LED flashes faster as more devices
are connected to the data network.
23: Fuse Blown Indicator LEDs
Fuses F2-F4 have red indicator LEDs, which light up when
the relevant fuse has blown.
24: Battery Kick Start Pins
The control panel has a deep discharge protection circuit
that prevents the standby battery from being fully
discharged. When powering up the control panel without AC
Mains (battery only), the centre and either outer pins must
be shorted together in order to bring the battery into circuit.
Connecting Devices to the Data Bus
Before connecting remote keypads and zone expanders,
isolate ALL power from the control panel (AC Mains &
Battery). Do not continue if there is still power present on the
control panel.
!Connecting devices with power still present on the
control panel may damage the device or control panel
and invalidate any warranty.
Remote keypads and zone expanders are all connected to
the same data terminals located at the bottom left hand
corner of the control panel and may be connected serially
(daisy chain), in parallel (star) or any combination of the two.
Wiring the Data Bus
The data bus is made up of four terminals incorporating
power and data. To ensure correct operation, all four
terminals on the device must be connected to the
corresponding terminals on the control panel, or previous
device (see page 9 for wiring details). The table below
shows each terminal and its description:
Terminal Description
+ +12V Supply
- 0V Supply
T Transmit Data
R Receive Data
Cable Distances
The maximum recommended distance for devices when
using standard 7/0.2 alarm cable is:
•250m for each branch when using the star (parallel)
configuration
•When using a daisy chain (series) configuration the
maximum distance will depend on the number of
devices connected on the chain. The more devices that
are connected, the shorter the distance to the last
device (this is due to voltage drop in the cable)
Whichever method of wiring configuration is used, ensure
that the voltage between the ‘+’ and ‘–’ terminals at each
device is no lower than 10.0V when the system is running on
the standby battery.

Overcoming Voltage Drop
There are several ways to overcome voltage drop:
•Use thicker lower resistance cable. Standard 7/0.2
alarm cable has a resistance of 8Ωper 100m
•Double up on the power connections – this will require
using a 6 or 8-core cable rather than a 4-core cable
•Install a power supply to power the device locally,
remember to common the two negative connections
Installing a Power Supply
When a power supply is installed, the 0V connections on the
power supply must be connected through to 0V on the
control panel and the +12V connection between the control
panel and the device must be disconnected (see figure
below).

time, see page 65.
•If the battery presence check is enabled the system will
check the battery every 30 seconds. If the system does
not have a battery connected then a battery fault will be
generated. To clear this fault either connect a battery or
disable the battery presence check, see page 34.
•Panel outputs 1 and 2 are supervised outputs, if you
have not connected a device to either of these outputs
the system will generate an output fault. To clear this
fault either fit 1K load resistors between the outputs and
+12V, see page 17 or disable the monitoring of outputs
1 and 2, see page 35.
•The Siren output is a supervised output, if you have not
connected a device to this output the system will
generate a siren fault. To clear this fault either fit 1K load
resistors between the siren terminals, see page 17 or
disable the monitoring of the siren output, see page 35.
