MESSAGE TO THE INSTALLER
This manual refers to PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 v13 and above. The most updated manuals can be
downloaded from the Visonic Web site http://www.visonic.com.
The PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 control panel is supplied with 2 instruction manuals:


Installer's Guide (this manual) – for use of system installer during system installation and configuration


User’s Guide -– also for use of system installer during system installation and configuration, but also for the
master user of the system, once installation is completed. Hand this manual over to the master user of the
system.
In addition each device comes with its own installation instructions (both physical installation and its
PowerMaster-10 / PowerMaster-30 configuration options).
APPENDIX D. Detector Deployment & Transmitter Assignments of the Installer's Guide will help you prepare an
installation plan. Consider filling out the forms - your job will become much easier and confusion will be
prevented. Filling out the forms will also help you create a list of detectors and transmitters that must be
obtained for the particular application.
Although setting the correct time and date is one of the user tasks, we recommend that you set the time and
date in the course of programming. Access to the “User Settings” for the installer is possible from the installer‘s
menu or through the user menu (see User’s Guide Chapter 6).
After programming, proceed to install the system as detailed in the Installation Instructions.
For PSTN systems you should verify the alarm system is able to seize the telephone line in order to provide
timely reports, even in cases where telephone line is being used when alarm occurs. Be aware of other phone
line services such as DSL. If DSL service is present on the phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to
use the DSL alarm filter model Z-A431PJ31X manufactured by Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter
simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows alarm reporting without breaking the internet connection.

2.2.5 System Planning & Programming
It pays to plan ahead - use the tables in APPENDIX D. Detector Deployment & Transmitter Assignments and
APPENDIX E. Event Codes at the end of this guide to register the intended location of each detector, the holder
and assignment of each transmitter.
Gather up all transmitters and detectors used in the system and mark each one in accordance with your
deployment plan.
Program the system now, before mounting, as instructed in the programming section.
2.2.6 GSM Module Installation
The internal GSM 350 module enables the PowerMaster-10 system to operate over a GSM/GPRS cellular
network (for further details, see the GSM 350 PG2 Installation Instructions).
The GSM modem auto detection feature enables automatic enrollment of the GSM modem into the
PowerMaster-10 control panel memory. GSM modem auto detection is activated in one of two ways: after
tamper restore and after reset (power-up or after exiting the installer menu). This causes the PowerMaster-10 to
automatically scan GSM COM ports for the presence of the GSM modem.
In the event that the GSM modem auto detection fails and the modem was previously enrolled in the
PowerMaster-10 control panel, the message "Cel Rmvd Cnfrm" will be displayed. This message will disappear
from the display only after the user presses the button. The modem is then considered as not enrolled
and no GSM trouble message will be displayed.
Note: A message is displayed only when the PowerMaster-10 alarm system is disarmed.
Plug in the GSM module and fasten it as shown in
Figure 3.5.

2.2.7 PGM-5 Installation
PGM-5 is an output interface module designed to provide alarm, trouble events and status signals to external
devices such as long range wireless monitoring transmitters, CCTV systems, home-automation systems and
LED annunciation panels (for further details see the PGM-5 Installation Instructions).
The PGM-5 provides 5 solid state relay contact outputs and is designed to be used as a plug-in internal add-on
module with the PowerMaster-10 control panel.
Note: The PGM-5 will be active only if the PGM-5 option was enabled in the factory default of the control panel.
Caution! When mounting the PGM-5 module it is strongly recommended to route the cable as shown in Figure
3.7 to prevent interference which may occur if routed too close to the control panel antennas.
