Configuration

Defaulting the panel

When the panel is initially powered up, you are prompted to choose the
appropriate default settings. Choose the correct settings for your local
regulations. The panel then completes the installation process. See "Initial start-
up" on page 114.
Note: At least one keypad with an LCD should be connected to the system
databus.

Zone configuration

Internal expansion
The number of zones connected directly to the control panel can be extended
using the ATS608 module. The maximum internal zone capacity for each control
panel is shown in "Specifications > General features" on page 36.
External expansion
Expanders can be used to expand the Advisor Advanced control panels with
external zones. The maximum zone number for each control panel is listed in
"Specifications > General features" on page 36.
A standard expander can have eight zones connected to it. Some of them can be
expanded in increments of 8, up to 32, so an expander can have 8, 16, 24 or
32 zones.
Note: Zone capacity is the number of configurable zones in the system. These
zones may be located at any available input. See "Specifications > General
features" on page 36.

Outputs

There are 5 outputs on the panel PCB. Output expander can be used to add
another 16 outputs inside the panel.
Output controllers are used to expand the number of outputs on an expander. An
expander output controller expands the outputs by 8. An expander can have two
output controllers connected, increasing the outputs to a maximum of 16 per
expander.
A keypad can have only one output in current panel version.
The maximum output number for each control panel is shown in "Specifications >
General features" on page 36.
