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). Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall
using at least three screws of appropriate size.
You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery or applying AC
mains to 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).
3: Install the Keypads and Zone Expanders
Mount and connect the keypads, zone expanders and output
modules to the control panel (see page 20).
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 32).
5: Install the External Sounder
Install the external sounder and connect to the control panel.
6: Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including speakers, telephone line and
output connections etc..
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. Hold down the Load Defaults then apply power.
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
8: Keypad messages
The keypad may show a mix of faults following first power up and go
into alarm. If the system goes into alarm, enter the default Engineer
code , and the alarm tone will stop
To access the Engineer Programming Menu, enter the default
Engineer code 
9: Select Language & Country Code
Immediately following power up you will be prompted to select the
panel language and country code. The country code determines the
panel defaults loaded and the operation of the system.
10: Confirm Devices
The "Confirm Devices" menu will appear check and make sure all
installed Keypads and Expanders are showing, press y/
and y/again to confirm.
11: Learn & Place Ricochet Devices
Once the panel is powered up you will be prompted to learn any
Ricochet devices to the system. Devices should be learnt local to the
receiver, and placed in their selected locations starting with the one
closest to the receiver.
12: Programming the Control Panel
Please refer to section 5 for instruction on programming the control
panel.
13: Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions
operate as required (see page 128 for details).
14: EN50131 Grade 2 Requirements
A: Global Options - System Config
•Option 12 –Omit Tampers = NO (see page 71)
15: EN50131 Grade 3 & INCERT requirements
Configurations that are required to ensure that the panel is EN50131
GRADE 3 compliant. Failure to follow these instructions will render
the system non-compliant.
A: Global Options - System Config
The following options MUST be enabled
•Global option 39 –Armed Mask = Alarm is enabled (see page
72)
•Area option 38 –Anti masking when armed is assigned to the
required Areas (see page 67)
•Global option 34 - EN50131 Enabled (see page 72)
•Global option 37 - Panel Grade 3 (see page 72)
B: Hold-up alarms (PA)
When alarms are configured as Hold-up alarms (PA), the installer
must clearly identify these in the Zone text as "Hold Up" alarms. If
more than one is configured it is beneficial to include the location in
the zone text as well.
C: User Codes
User codes must be programmed as a 6 digit code to comply with
INCERT For EN security grade 3 panels, the user code must be a
minimum of 5 digit code (100 000 combinations) (see page 124).
D: Bell Tamper
For EN50131 & INCERT installations the Bell & Aux Tamper must be
wired to a zone (see page 34)
E: OP16 Output Module
When used in an EN50131 compliant system the Premier Elite OP16
cannot be used on its own. It should only be wired as part of a daisy
chain of bus devices with the final device being a Zone expander or a
Keypad.
The tamper output of the Premier Elite OP16 should also be wired
back to a zone input on the alarm panel
F: Masking Events
•Will be notified & logged as a Fault when the panel is UNSET.
•Will be notified & logged as an Intruder Alarm when the panel is
SET

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: 2010 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.
EN50131 Battery Installation (Polymer
Panels)
Step 1: Screw 2 x battery clamps into holes
provided in the rear of the panel.
Step 2: Fit battery into place, position the clamps
against the top face of the battery and tighten
screws.

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 22 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 133 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 22 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.
Stranded tinned annealed copper BS4737 7/0.2 alarm cable can
be used for most installations. However, under certain conditions
it may be necessary to use screened cable of the same
specification.
PLEASE NOTE. The conductor resistance should be no greater
than 8Ωper 100metres.
The usage of Low grade TCCA (tinned copper clad cable) can
have a detrimental effect on the operation of the system and the
cable distances specified in this manual.
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 + 16Speaker
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 8per 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 22 for details).
Use of pull up resistors
In certain circumstances it may be necessary to use pull up resistors. Constant network errors, devices dropping of off networks, or the use of poor
quality cable can all be helped by utilising resistors to "pull" the network up. making sure that errors in data flow are minimised. The diagram below
details the type and placement of the resistors.
