2.1 Overview of Installation Process

The steps below are provided to assist with the installation of the alarm system. Read over this section to get an overall
understanding of the order of installation. Working from this plan can help reduce problems and reduce the overall time
required for installation.
Step 1 – Create a Layout
Draw a rough sketch of the site and include all alarm detection devices, zone expanders, keypads and other required mod-
ules.
Step 2 – Mount the Panel
Decide on a location for the alarm panel and secure it to the wall using suitable mounting hardware. see "Mounting the
Enclosure" on page 10.
Step 3 – Wire the Alarm Controller
Wire each of the modules to the alarm controller following the guidelines provided in "Corbus Wiring" on page 13.
Step 4 – Wire Zones
Complete all zone wiring. Follow the guidelines provided in "Zone Wiring" on page 19 to connect zones using normally
closed loops, single EOL resistor, double EOL resistors, fire zones and keyswitch arming zones.
Step 5 – Complete Wiring
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone line connections, ground connections or any other wiring
necessary. Follow the guidelines provided in "Terminal Descriptions" on page 11.
Step 6 – Power up the Control Panel
Once all zone and alarm controller wiring is complete, connect the battery before applying AC, and power up the system.
The alarm controller will not power up if only the battery is connected.
Step 7 – Enroll Keypads and Modules
All keypads must be enrolled in order to operate on the system. To enroll the first keypad, see "Enrolling the First Keypad "
on page 29. To enroll optional keypads, enter installer's programming section [902][000]. For more information, see "Module
Programming" on page 118.
Step 8 – Confirm Module Supervision
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation. Supervision is enabled at all times. To confirm that each module is
properly supervised, see "[903] Confirm Module" on page 119.
Step 9 – Enroll Wireless Devices
Wireless devices are enrolled via the wireless transceiver module (HSM2HOSTx) or RF keypad and Installer Programming
section [804]. See "Wireless Programming" on page 116 to enroll wireless devices.
Step 10 – Program the System
Section 5 on "Programming" on page 56 provides a complete description of how to program the alarm controller. It contains
complete descriptions of the various programmable features and options. Fill out the programming worksheets starting at
"Programming Worksheets" on page 123 completely before attempting to program the system.
Step 11 – Test the System
Test the panel completely to ensure that all features and functions operate as programmed.

2.2 Alarm Controller Installation

Begin the installation by mounting the alarm controller in the metal enclosure using the stand-offs provided. Optional mod-
ules, such as the HSM2108 and HSM2208, can also be mounted in the enclosure.
Install hardware in the sequence indicated on the following pages.
2.2.1 Mounting the Enclosure
Locate the panel in a dry area, preferably near an unswitched AC power source and the incoming telephone line. Complete
all wiring before applying AC or connecting the battery.
