1 SAFETY RELATED INFORMATION • PRiMA16 alarm control panel is an electric device, that requires AC 230V 50Hz supply for its operation. • Lack of care during installation may impose serious hazard for health or life! • An alarm panel should only be installed by a quali- fied technician.
The installation shall be performed by a qualified technician, able to consider multiple technical requirements of a particular site. GENEVO takes no re- sponsibility for improper configuration or behavior of a security installation.
Contact your local authorities to find the nearest place of collection of waste electronic equipment, or look up the list published on www.genevo.eu . The security system may be equipped with a lead-acid battery as a backup power source.
GENERAL INFORMATION PRiMA16 by GENEVO is a modern intruder alarm con- trol panel intended for security installations for small and medium-sized premises: flats, houses, shops, workshops etc. Its feature list covers typical needs of these systems. It stands out of the competition by it's easy installation, straightforward and intuitive pro- gramming and, unmatched user friendliness.

phanumeric values (e.g. when entering user names). EXT-Z8 ZONE EXPANSION MODULE EXT-Z8 zone expansion allows the expansion of PRiMA16 and PRiMA12 system with 8 hardwired fully configurable zones. It is also fitted with dedicated TMP inputs for connection of a tamper switch, and a super- vised auxiliary supply output with a separate protec- tion.
INSTALLATION DEVICE CONNECTION SELECTION OF MOUNTING LOCATION FOR SYSTEM COMPONENTS • Alarm control panel shall be installed in a secured area, with no easy access by unauthorized person- nel. • If GSM signal in the installation location will be inad- equate for proper operation of the system, an exter- nal GSM antenna installed in an optimal location might be required.
• During the placement of the detectors, their manu- facturer's specification shall be considered as well as the common industry practice. ENCLOSURE AND CONTROL PANEL MAIN BOARD INSTALLATION To avoid making any damage to the main board, static electricity shall be discharged be- fore attempting any installation work on the electronics.
wall: • unscrew the locking nut from the threaded SMA connector body, • insert the SMA connector body through the pre- pared enclosure opening, • fix the securing nut from the outside, while locking the connector body against turning using a proper wrench, to lock the SMA connector in the enclosure wall.
control panel should be always on during normal use, and the user should be notified on the means to turn off the circuit (e.g. by indicating a circuit breaker used to switch off the circuit). 7.3.2 Connection of keypads and expansion module to the Bus.
Rysunek 4: Connection of modules to the bus 7.3.3 Connection of detectors • Several ways of connection of detectors to the con- trol panel are possible, using multiple line termina- tion configurations. • PRiMA panels supports the following line termina- tion configurations: NC –...

7.3.4 Connection of sounders. Sounders with the built-in backup battery (self-con- tained sounders) and sounders without a back-up bat- tery may require different way of connection to the panel. In order to find out a proper way of connecting the sounder, please refer to the manual by the sounder manufacturer.
Figure 11: Connection of a sounder without back-up battery 7.3.4.2 Self-contained sirens (with a back-up bat- tery) Self-contained sounders do use permanent 12V supply for charging the battery, and separate trigger outputs used to start acoustic and optical signaling. • In PRiMA panel, high-current outputs (OUT1, OUT2) are switching the COMMON potential („-OUT1”, „- OUT2”...
In case of sounders triggered by removing 0V (com- mon) from the trigger input, a reversed output polarity configuration shall be used Figure 12: Connection of self-contained sounder Detailed information on the sounder triggering can ➔ be found in its accompanying documentation. 7.3.4.3 Sirens triggered with “+12V”...
Figure 13: Connection of sounder with “+12V” trigger • The relay may be controlled by either High-current (OUT) or Low-current (PGM) outputs. • The „+OUT1” and „+OUT2” terminals do provide constant 12V, regardless of panel state. It is recom- mended to use these terminals as a power source for the sounder.
