INPUTS The PW-8 has 5 separate programmable monitored analogue inputs, Programmable, multi-state detection inputs Programmable tamper input ( with optional Key-switch functions) Each input must be terminated with short circuit or the appropriate value of end-of-line resistors, even if the input is unused.
TAMPER - A 24Hr tamper circuit is available for monitoring tamper status of detectors, junction boxes, cabinets and satellite sirens etc. This Tamper circuit is programmable with 2 options (P170E1E) either normally closed loop or 2k2 EOL supervision( the default is normally closed loop). The tamper circuit must be terminated with an end- of-line resistor if 2k2 EOL supervision is selected.
TELECOM INTERFACE The communicator facility of this PW-8 controller has been designed to provide optimum flexibility in the way in which alarm events are reported. This flexibility includes options for reporting to a central monitoring station using Ademco Contact ID format, a domestic reporting option using alternating siren tones, a format for reporting alarms to an alpha numeric pager and a powerful speech dialer.

KEYPAD LED or LCD INSTALLATION INSTALLATION Remove the Well Mount Bracket (Back cover) by unscrewing the holding screw at the bottom side. Screw the bracket to the wall using the mounting holes provided with the necessary number of screws. Make sure the base is mounted right side up. When fixing the bracket to the wall make sure the top of the screw heads will not touch or short out the underside of the PCB when the top half of the keypad is reinstalled.
VIEW MEMORY MODE When viewing the memory event buffer at the keypad by pressing the “MEMORY” button, the first thing that will always be displayed is the “SYSTEM” LED. If the system led turns on but no other Zone LED’s are on at the same time, this means that there are no current system alarms.
LED KEYPAD ADDRESS ASSIGNMENT Each of the 8 possible LED keypads which are able to be connected to your PW8 panel must be addressed individually to avoid BUS conflicts when multiple users are operating different keypads simultaneously. As default, each keypad comes addressed as #1 (Switches A B and C at ON position). To assign a keypad as address #2, change switch A to OFF position.
KEYPAD TAMPER OPTION SETTING Switch marked D used to Enable and Disable the Keypad Tamper option: TAMPER DISABLE TAMPER ENABLE LED KEYPAD FUNCTIONS The PW-8 LED Keypad consists of; an 18 button, backlit silicone rubber keypad, 14 LED ICON indicators and an internal piezo buzzer housed in a modern white plastic housing.
PROGRAMMING YOUR PW-8 HOW TO PROGRAM The programming sequence always follows this pattern: <PROGRAM> - <1,2 or 3 digit address> - <ENTER> 3 short beeps if OK - 1 long beep if error The LEDs will display current value or status Enter the new value or option <New Value>...
TO EXIT PROGRAM MODES To exit either program mode when you have finished programming: Press <PROGRAM> - < ENTER> Program light goes out The panel is now back in Run Mode, any program changes you have made will have replaced previous values and be in effect.
