Installation Sequence

Before attempting to install the alarm system, read this
section. Once you have an overall understanding of the
installation sequence, carefully work through each step.
1: Design the Layout
Make a rough sketch of the premises to get an idea of where
all alarm detection devices, keypads and other modules are
to be located.
2: Mounting the Panel
The control panel should be mounted in a dry area close to
an unswitched AC power source and the incoming
telephone line.
!
You must complete all wiring before connecting the
battery, or applying AC to the panel.
!
Some versions of the control panel are not supplied
with an integral mains transformer. If this is the case a
suitable external mains transformer will be required
(see page 77)
3: Install the Keypads
Mount and connect the keypads to the control panel.
4: Zone Wiring
Install detection devices and connect to control panel.
5: Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens and
telephone line connections.
6: Apply Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 5 are completed, apply power to the control
panel. First, connect the red battery lead to the positive
terminal and the black lead to negative. Then, connect the
AC.
7: Complete the Installation Records & Defaults Booklet
Supplied with the control panel is the "Installation Records
and Defaults" booklet. This booklet allows you to record all
programming data and also lists all program defaults. It is
recommended that the booklet is filled in before attempting
to program the system.
8: Program the System
Using the Programming Worksheets program the control
panel in accordance with the procedures in Section 3.
9: Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and
functions are operating as required.

Control Panel

Mounting

Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall using at least
three appropriate screws. The rear casing has been
designed with a central key-hole slot so that mounting is
possible without removing the Printed Circuit Board (PCB).
The angled slot in the lower corner has been provided to
allow the panel to be levelled easily. If the PCB has to be
removed, carefully pull back the two front PCB securing
clips, lift the front of the PCB and slide it downward. To
replace the PCB simply reverse the above procedure.
!
It is essential to ensure that none of the fixing slots or
cable entries are accessible after fixing.
Mains cabling must be secured (e.g. with a cable tie)
to one of the anchor points provided.

Wiring the Control Panel

WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL
BEFORE connecting the control panel
ALWAYS disconnect the supply at the consumer unit.
If in ANY doubt consult a qualified electrician.
"
ONLY connect the mains supply to the mains
terminal block, NEVER connect the mains supply
directly to the PCB.
The system installation MUST be carried out in
accordance with the national safety standards, for
example EN 60950: 1992.
ALWAYS refer to National Wiring Regulations when
conducting installation.
An appropriate
disconnection device (e.g. an unswitched fused
spur) MUST be provided as part of the installation.
The disconnection device must NOT be fitted in a
flexible cord.
Where identification of the neutral in the mains
supply is NOT possible, a two-pole disconnection
device MUST be used.
The building mains supply MUST incorporate
appropriate short-circuit backup protection (e.g. a
fuse or circuit breaker) of High Breaking Capacity
(HBC, at least 1500A).
Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for
the rated current (i.e. at least 0.75mm
and readily accessible
2
).
