INSTALLATION
The Premier 8X Expander is only compatible with the Premier range of control panels. Expanders can be connected
serially (daisy chain), in parallel (star) or any combination of the two.
Mounting
Remove each screw cap by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot and turning anti-clockwise, excessive force is
NOT required. Remove both of the cover screws and put them in a safe place along with the screw caps. Gently pull the
over away from the base applying slight pressure to the sides at the top of the expander if required. The front cover
should now be off.
Mount the expander using at least two appropriate countersunk screws (no larger than No. 8). A keyhole slot has been
provided to assist mounting and aid leveling.
Wiring
It is strongly recommended that the system is completely powered down (mains and battery) before wiring the
expander. Connect the expander to the control panel using 4-core cable as follows:

Control Panel Description
+ + +12V Supply
- - 0V Supply
T T Transmit Data
R R Receive Data
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. Expanders 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.
Selecting an Address
Each expander must be assigned a different address using the DIL switches located in the top left of the PCB. The table
below shows the expander addressing:
Address DIL 1 DIL 2 DIL 3 DIL 4
1 On/Off Off Off Off
2 431
2 Off On Off Off
2 431
3 Off Off On Off
2 431
Never set two expanders on the same network to the same address. Expanders are factory set to address 1.
