3. 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 the
alarm detection devices, keypads, zone expanders etc. 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 (if
using a communicator).
You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery or
applying AC mains to the control panel.
3: Install the Keypads and Zone Expanders
Mount and connect the keypads, zone expanders and output
modules to the control panel (see page 20 for wiring details).
4: Install the Alarm Detection Devices
Install the detection devices, PIR’s, Contacts, PA Buttons etc. and
connect them to the control panel (see page 31 for wiring details).
5: Install the External Sounder
Install the external sounder and connect to the control panel (see
page 33 for wiring details).
6: Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including speakers, telephone line and
output connections etc. (see pages 33 - 34 for details).
7: Applying Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 6 are completed, power can be applied to the
control panel.
When applying power for the first time, the factory default settings
must be loaded (see page 42 for details). Power should always be
connected in the following order:
•Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of the
battery and then connect the black battery lead to the negative
terminal
The panel will only become ‘live’ when the AC Mains is
connected or the ‘Battery Kick-start’ button is pressed.
•Connect the AC mains
For a complete list of factory default settings, see the Quick
Reference Guide supplied with your panel.
8: Programming the Control Panel
Please refer to section 5 for instruction on programming the control
panel.
9: Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions
operate as required (see page 112 for details).
Control Panel
Mounting
Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall using at least three
screws of appropriate size.
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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. HAZARDOUS
VOLTAGES INSIDE, NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS, NO
USER ACCESS.
ONLY connect the mains supply to the mains terminal block,
NEVER connect the mains supply directly to the PCB.
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.
Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for the rated
current (i.e. at least 0.75mm2).

Power Supply Ratings
If installing to EN50131 or PD6662, the system standby times in the event of a mains power failure vary depending on the grade and how AC fail is
signalled:
When calculating the current consumption of the system you must include the current taken by the control panel and all the devices that it
powers. If the total current exceeds the “Rated Output” for the grade you are installing to then an additional power supply is required

Connecting AC Mains
The AC Mains supply is connected to a 3 way ‘Euro Type’ fused
terminal block, which is fitted with a 3.15A medium/slow blow fuse.
All other wiring MUST be carried out before AC mains is
connected to the control panel.
After connecting the AC Mains, fit the mains cover, this can be
found in the spares bag.
Connecting Batteries
If installing to PD6662: 2004 then only One 12V 7Ah battery or 12V
17Ah battery can be fitted inside the control panel to provide
continued operation in the event of an AC mains failure, otherwise,
two 12V 7Ah batteries can be connected.
All other wiring MUST be carried out before the battery is
connected to the control panel.
Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of the battery
and then connect the black battery lead to the negative terminal.
The panel will only become ‘live’ when the AC Mains is
connected or the ‘Battery Kick-start’ button is pressed.
Two batteries can be fitted and still comply with PD6662:2004
if the Battery Splitter is used.

Connecting Devices to the Network
Before connecting keypads, zone expanders and output modules,
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.
Keypads, zone expanders and output modules are all connected to the
same network 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 (see Figure 1, page 21 for details).
No more than 8 zone expanders, 8 keypads and 4 output modules
can be connected to each network.
The maximum number of devices that can be connected in total
will depend on the control panel fitted.
Whenever new devices are connected to the networks, they must be
confirmed onto the system using the ‘Confirm Devices’ menu option
(see page 117 for details).
Wiring the Network
The networks are 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 Figure 1, page 21 for details). The
table below shows each terminal and its description:
Terminal Description
+ +12V Supply
- 0V Supply
T Transmit Data
R Receive Data
Devices can be connected using 4-core cable. However, it is recommended
that 6 or 8-core cable is used as the spare cores can be used to ‘Double Up’
on the power connections if needed.
Standard 7/0.2 alarm cable can be used for most installations.
However, under certain conditions it may be necessary to use
screened cable.
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.
The table below shows maximum cable runs when one keypad or
expander is installed using standard 7/0.2 alarm cable with various
loads:
Configuration Max. Cable Run
1. Keypad + 2 PIR’s @15mA 250m
2. Expander + 2 PIR’s @15mA 250m
3. Expander + 8 PIR’s @15mA 100m
4. As No. 3 + 16ΩSpeaker 30m
Distances of up to 1km can be achieved between the control panel and
a device. However, a power supply must be installed close to the
device to power it locally, this will help to overcome voltage drop
caused by the long cable run.
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 2, page 21 for details).
Network Diagnostics
Each network has two LED’s to indicate data flow. The red LED
indicates data flowing out of the ‘T’ terminal and the green LED
indicates data flowing into the ‘R’ terminal. The table below shows
each LED status and its meaning:
LED Status ‘T’ Wire OUT ‘T’ Wire IN
Red LED Flashing Normal Normal
Red LED On Panel Fault Cable Short
Red LED Off Panel Fault Panel Fault
LED Status ‘R’ Wire OUT ‘R’ Wire IN
Green LED Flashing Panel Fault Normal
Green LED On Panel Fault Cable Short
Green LED Off Normal No Data From Devices
The LED’s are provided as an aid for fault finding and therefore
should not be completely relied upon to indicate that there is a
fault.
