Satel MZ-1 Quick Start Manual

The field terminal modules: MZ-1 (small), MZ-2 (medium) and MZ-3 (large) are designed
for construction of low-voltage installations, such as alarm and/or intercom systems.
They come in two versions which differ in the size of terminal block. The modules having
smaller terminal blocks are additionally designated with "S", and those having bigger
terminal blocks – with " L".
The terminal modules serve the purpose of connecting several electric wires without the
use of soldering iron. To make the installation easier, the terminals are numbered.
Additionally, metal pins are used in the construction of MZ-2, MZ-3 modules, two pins
being connected to each terminal. By setting jumpers on the pins, selected terminals can
be easily connected in parallel. The jumper should be placed on the pins situated
between the selected terminals/numbers. By setting jumpers on the next, adjacent pins
you can enlarge the group of terminals connected in parallel. However, you should
remember that the maximum current passing through the jumpers must not exceed
500mA. If the currents are higher, connecting the terminals by jumpers is not advisable.
The MZ-1 module has no pins.
All the modules are fitted with a NC tamper contact. Two SAB terminals enable the
contact to be connected to the tamper circuit.

1. INSTALLATION

The terminal modules are designed for indoor mounting. They can be directly attached
to the wall by means of expansion plugs and screws or, alternatively, by means of glue
or mounting foam. In order to install the module:
1. Open the housing.
2. Remove the electronics board from the housing (in MZ-2 and MZ-3 modules, you
must first remove the screw fixing the board to the housing).
3. Make suitable cable inlets in the housing and pass the cables.
4. Screw down the housing to the surface.
5. Mount the electronics board in the housing. In the MZ-2 and MZ-3 modules, you must
replace the screw fixing the board to the housing.
6. Connect the cables to the corresponding terminals.
7. Close the cover carefully. The edges of properly mounted cover should tightly adjoin
the housing base, and the tamper contact should be closed by a special projection.
The covers of MZ-1, MZ-2 modules are asymmetric and can only be mounted in one
position.
