Hunter-Pro Installation Manual Zone Inputs You can connect each zone input with or without Single or Double end–of–line (EOL) resistors. Define each zone in the “system configuration” accordingly. The number of resistors you connect (one or two) is defined as a general rule for all the zones. (Refer to sections.
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual 2.2.2 Connection with one EOL resistor Connect a detector with NC output (for example, Defender) with one EOL resistor according to the below diagrams. There are several options to connect the tamper outputs from the detectors: serial connection that can be connected to the tamper input in the control panel, or to a zone defined as “24 hours”.
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual 2.2.3 Connection with two EOL resistors Connect a detector with NC output (for example, Defender) with two EOL resistors according to the below diagrams. If you use the NO output from the detector then the zone should be configured as such.
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual Arming with Key/Remote Control Connect the key or remote control receiver according to the below diagram with a 10kΩ EOL resistor at the terminal input on the PCB. The key can have either a ‘momentary’ or ‘fixed’ type of switch.
Sirens without internal oscillator/ driver/ speakers (AC): Connect each siren to terminals SRN1, SRN2, and ground (–). The sirens will be activated by the oscillator of the HUNTER-PRO. Verify that pins 2 and 3 are shorted by Jumper JP5 (factory default).
Connect all other telephony devices to the SET terminals. In case of alarm, the devices will be disconnected and the system will be immediately connected to the telephone line. The HUNTER-PRO should be the first device to connect to the telephone line (LINE terminals) for best “Line Snapping” results.

“upload” them after you complete the installation. 3.1.3 Remote Programming with COMAX Software (Upload/Download) You can program the HUNTER-PRO over a telephone line with a PC, regular modem supporting 300 bps, and the COMAX programming software. In addition to programming, you also have access to the memory log.
Page 27
The following pages provide detailed instructions of programming all the features and functions of the HUNTER-PRO. The instructions take into consideration that you are already in the installer menu. Most of the screens appear in the form of “Bar Menus” in which you enable and disable functions.
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual Programming with an LCD keypad Following entry of the correct installer code, the system enables modification and execution of functions that cannot be accessed by the end user: ON/OFF Setting Zone sensitivity MEMORY Setting Zone characteristics (1) (24 hours, delayed, etc.)
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual 3.2.1 Zone Sensitivity Press: ON/OFF ENTR ENTR Sensitivity Zone sensitivity is the duration the magnet/detector will be open and trigger the zone causes an alarm. The system will ignore time intervals less than programmed. You can set different sensitivity levels for zones 1, 2, 3, and zones 4 –...
Page 30
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual Bypass : The system ignores the zone in all modes; armed, home, disarmed, etc. N.O : Normally Open detectors are connected to the zone input. 24 Hrs : Zone input is active when the system in armed and disarmed.
Page 31
Relay: The on-board relay will be activated when the zone triggers an alarm. You can set the duration of the relay as described in section. 3.2.5.1. Dialer: When an alarm is triggered from the specific zone; the HUNTER-PRO will dial private telephone numbers and will play a distinct sound or play a pre-recorder message.
Page 32
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual AUX 1: Marked as ON/OFF on the Control Panel. An open collector output for various applications such as external siren or external dialer. NOTE: If you don’t program any zones to activate the AUX1 output, then that output will “track” the system status: Disconnect when the system is not armed, and GND when the system is Armed.
If you have partitions and you want all partitions to report with the same account number, then program the account number(s) for partition 1 and leave the rest account numbers with 0. The largest Account number for the PIMA PAF format is 7999. For other formats – according to each format characteristics.
Page 34
According to programming – event code according to format, for example; code for alarm from zone 1 – 31 For example: Monitoring Station 1 – American format; Monitoring Station 2 – PIMA PAF format: Program the event codes for each specific American format as specified by the format vendor.
Page 35
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual Options of reporting to the Monitoring Station: All four telephone numbers are allocated to one MS. The first number is the primary number and will be dialed first. The rest are backup numbers. Telephone Numbers 1 and 2 are allocated to the first MS and numbers 3 and 4 to the second Monitoring Station.
Page 36
Hunter-Pro Installation Manual Divided report – Some events are reported to MS1 and the rest is reported to MS2. For example, a system is connected to a Burglary Monitoring Station and to a Fire Monitoring Station. Combination of the previous possibilities – Some of the events are reported to both MS, some to MS1 and some to MS2.
NOTE: The default reporting codes for the PIMA PAF and Contact ID formats is FF. If you do not change the report codes when using other formats, then the system will report FF for all events. 3.2.4 Telephone Line Characteristics...
