Other Devices
Read the manufacturer's literature carefully to determine the maximum current requirement (during
activation or alarm) and use this value for loading calculations. Do not allow connected devices to exceed
the system capabilities during any possible operational mode.
2.5 Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders
The main panel contains zones 1 to 8. Additional zone expanders may be added to increase the number
of zones on the system. Each zone expander consists of two groups of 4 zones and each group must be
configured to assign the specific zones to the expander. This is done by setting the jumpers located on
the expander to the proper settings.
Before a zone expander will work properly the jumpers must be set so the panel can deter-
mine the correct zone assignment .
The following are the jumper settings for different zone assignments:
Expander Zones
Group A (Zones 1-4)
Group B (Zones 5-8)
The following is a diagram of the zone expander PC5108 and locations of the jumper switches.
There are two sets of jumpers, one set for the first 4 zones of the expander and one set for the
other 4 zones .
In the above diagram the jumpers settings shown indicate the first group of four zones of the expander will
be zones 9 to 12 and the second group of 4 zones will be 13 to 16.
A group of zones can be disabled if they are not required for the installation.
2.6 Keypad Assignment
There are 8 available slots for keypads. LED keypads by default are always assigned to slot 1 while the
LCD5500 is always assigned to slot 8. Keypads can each be assigned to a different slot (1 to 8) which
offers two advantages. The panel can supervise the keypad connection to indicate a trouble condition if it
is removed. Also keypads can be assigned to operate a specific partition or operate as a global keypad.
2.6.1 How to Assign Keypads
All keypad assignment must be done individually on each keypad on the system . . . . .
