Installation and Wiring Installation and Wiring This chapter provides steps for the installation of the AuraSys L-4 control panel family, and the preliminary testing of the system. It includes a Quick Guide for fast reference as well as complete programming and wiring instructions.
Installation and Wiring The maximum wire length between the panel and accessories depends on the amount of current drawn by the accessory and the gauge of the conductors (wires) used. The distance between the panel and the furthest keypad or add-on must not exceed 200 meters due to the capacitance on the data line.
Installation and Wiring To install the L-4C panel: Using the holes dimensions and locations shown in Figure 7, drill holes in the wall. Insert masonry anchors into the drilled holes. Wire the panel according to the wiring instructions (see Chapter 4). Mount the L-4C as shown in Figure 8.

Chime#3: 3 Sequences of 4 x 200ms beeps, one silent second Access Level Types The AuraSys L-4 family provides for three levels of access. This section describes the three levels and their corresponding codes, as well as the duress code (available to all three user levels) for disarming a system under threat. The access levels are: Master Programmer, Installer, and User.
Enable Installer Code Access Within the AuraSys L-4 system, the Master User, the owner, must allow the Installer to access the system. He does this by providing the Installer with the installer entry code that allows him to reprogram the system. The system enters installation mode once the Installer enters his code.
Programming via Keypad 5.5.1 Entering Parameters Once the system is ready to accept parameters from the Installer, he is able to program the desired values from the keypad using a series of coded numbers. There are two values for each parameter, the section code and the programmed value.

Programming via PC Software Programming via PC Software The AuraSys L-4 can be programmed using the AuraSys Lite Remote Programmer PC Software. There are several ways of connecting the unit to a PC, directly using Rosslare’s MD-62 TTL to RS-232 converter, or remotely via the telephone line.
Expansions and Accessories Expansions and Accessories MD-31 (RJ-31X Jack) Even though the RJ31X jack has more connections, typically only four wires are used; two for the connection to the outside phone line (T and R), and two for the connection to the inside phone lines (T1 and R1). The MD-31 has 8 screw terminals inside the housing.
Expansions and Accessories When connected as shown (and nothing is plugged into the jack), the internal phones should be working. Replace the cover on the jack; the unit can now be connected to the security system. Figure 31: MD-31 to Alarm Panel Wiring Connect the 50 cm cord to the alarm panel: ...
