Force Security System - Installation Guide Safety Instructions. Read Carefully The Force security system has been registered in accordance with EN60950 and its rules. Among other things, EN60950 requires us to advise you the following information: Hazards of fire and electric shock exist in this alarm system. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this alarm system to rain or moisture.
Chap. 1 Introduction This guide will introduce you with the new, highly reliable FORCE security system. With its 7-line LCD and clear menu-driven display, FORCE is an intuitive easy to install and program system. The Technician and User subject menus make programming and navigating fast and easy. Help screens reduce the need to look in this guide on every servicing.
To make installation and servicing easy and efficient, the FORCE’s control panel, transformer and backup battery are mounted on a special rack. The rack is covered by a metal case. Use the following list as a guide to find a suitable location to install the FORCE security system: ...
Chap. 2: Installation & Wiring Figure 1. The control panel’s rack Figure 2. The rack’s cover The control panel 4 5 6 Figure 3. The control panel Following is the list of the control panel’s terminals: Zone inputs Z1-Z8, detectors voltage (+)/(-) Tamper switches 1-2 inputs External/internal Sirens, (+)/(-) ALRM output (by default, switched to (-) at alarm)
The BUS is a serial communication channel, used for exchanging data between the control panel and the peripherals. The protocol in use by the BUS is ForceBUS (PIMA proprietary). Use four 0.5mm (24 Gauge (AWG)) wires. The maximum BUS length is 500m, including all peripherals and keypads.
Chap. 2: Installation & Wiring Zone connection Figure 5. No EOL Figure 6. One EOL Figure 7. Two EOLs 2.6.1 Zone doubling Zone Doubling allows you to double the eight onboard zones to 16. All doubled zones must be wired according to the diagram below. Note that you cannot use zone expanders when you double zones.
Siren Figure 9. Sirens connection Connecting zones and outputs expanders PIMA’s product line includes zone and output expanders. All expanders interface with the BUS. Following is the expander’s list: ZEL508 Local 8-zone expander. The expander is installed beside the control panel and is connected using a special 4-wire cable.
2.9.2 Local 8-zone expansion card, ZEL508 The ZEL508 allows adding eight zone inputs to the FORCE security system, locally. The card is installed on the control panel’s rack, and interfaces with the BUS using the technician’s fast connector on the control panel (see below), using a special cable (supplied).

The users can trigger three different alarms - panic, fire, and medical - by pressing and holding key combinations on the keypad. When these alarms are triggered, FORCE activates the programmed responses for such alarms, including triggering the sirens and reporting the CMS (where relevant) and contacts.
2.13 GSM add-on, GSM501 The GSM add-on is used for transmitting reports and notifications from the FORCE to the CMS and the contacts, via cellular network. It is a Quad-band transceiver. An external antenna (long/short) can be used with the GSM501.
