Notes on security system

The Terxon MX burglar alarm panel enables you to
UK
configure each of the 8 (max. 32) alarm zones
optimally to suit your operating conditions.
Recommendations:
• Distribute the external detectors in as small groups as
possible to the zones (e.g., ground-floor detector to
zone 1, etc.); activate detectors singly; if possible, use
all zones of the alarm centre.
• The acoustic signal (siren) of the signal transmitter
should be shorter than the visual signal (flashlight).
Alarm times must be set according to local regulations.
(E.g., in Germany, the acoustic alarm must be limited to
3 minutes.)
• The delay time should not be finally set until a practical
test has been conducted.
• Choose a random 4-digit or 6-digit combination for the
user and program code.
• Only persons of trust should be given the code.
• When operating the alarm centre, enter the code in such
a way that it is concealed from persons standing nearby.
• The cable recommended for connecting the
components (minimum diameter: 0.6 mm/wire) is
normally colour-coded.
The user and program codes must be different.
For reasons of clear layout, use the following colour
coding:
Red: +12V voltage supply
Black: 0V ground
Yellow: Alarm contact
Green: Alarm contact
Brown: Tamper contact
White: Tamper contact
• Use distributors when connecting more than one
detector to an alarm zone. Cable extensions can be
soldered or screwed together. Ensure good insulation
(insulating tape, shrink-on tubing) to avoid short-
circuiting and false alarms. See the illustration on the
next page.
• Proceed as follows:
1. Read the operating instructions carefully.
2. Draw up a plan of the object that includes the
installation location of the detectors and the alarm
centre and all cables required.
3. Lay the cables as required.
4. Install the detectors and the alarm centre.
5. Connect the cables to the detectors and the alarm
centre.
6. Connect the power supply (battery, mains).
7. Program the device.
