Paradox DB7 Quick Installation

DB7 Quick Installation with BlueEye application
Locating the DB7
Mount the DB7 near the door to be monitored. Use the angle bracket (purchased separately) if needed
to better supervise the area.
Powering the DB7
*ALLOW 8 hours of charging before full function may be available*
Connect the two power wires (recommend 18 gauge up to 30 meters) to the DB7. A wide power
supply voltage range can be used (12-24 volts AC or DC, minimum 10W power supply). The DB7
must be able to consume 500 mA and 10 volts at the DB7 connection terminals over the supplied
wires. Make sure the wires and length support this power. Connecting to Aux bus wires of the
alarm system may not be able to supply the current needed, especially 21-gauge wires or enough
Aux reserve.
Power Supply
When connecting the DB7 for the first time to power, the battery must be charged at least 60%,
otherwise, not all functions may be available and the DB7 might shut down. Usually, normal
operation can be resumed when the battery is over 60% when connected the first time.
Usually, with a proper power supply, the DB7 will be ready to test use after one hour of charging
or out of the box. Battery indication will be available in the application after about 10 minutes.
Using Existing Doorbell Wires
Existing doorbell wires can be used, but DO NOT connect the DB7 in series with previously installed
bell(s). The DB7 may NOT function after the battery will be drained out due to weak power supply.
