Aritech Reliance XR Installation Power Requirements The Aritech Reliance XR range of products are to be only powered from an approved Australian power unit source. The Aritech Reliance XR is designed to be used with a 16 VAC 1.5 Amp 24 VA transformer which is included with Aritech Reliance XR panel kits.
Installing Panel 1. The Aritech Reliance XR should be located away from damp areas (e.g. bathrooms, kitchens), away from sources of heat, dust or interference (e.g. air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, refrigerators) and away from external walls. 2. The metal enclosure should be installed with the door opening from the top to bottom. Guides are cut into the enclosure to hold the panel, two on the top and two on the bottom.
Installing Antennas Several antennas may be provided depending on the model purchased. These include: • Multi-antennas for ITI 63-bit, ITI 80plus. • 3G/4G antennas for WiFi/cellular module • WiFi antennas for WiFi/cellular module Wireless Sensor Antennas If two antennas have been provided: 1.
Enrolling Modules New devices such as zone expanders, wireless zone expanders, output expanders, smart power supplies, and keypads need to be enrolled so they can be programmed and supervised. The enrollment procedure discovers the serial number of the new device and adds it to the device database in the panel.

Example For example, you could create a 24/7 schedule and then have this schedule follow an action. Next assign a keypad permission this schedule. Now based on what the action does, we can conditionally enable or disable a keypad. This provides a high level of flexibility and multiple sets of rules using actions can be set up like this.
Page 104
Instructions 1. Create an Area Group and select the Areas you want to be Armed according to the schedule you will create later. 2. Create an Area Group and select the Areas you want to be Disarmed according to schedule. This can be the same or different as the Area Group you selected above. 3.
Page 105
5. Go to the Advanced tab. 6. Select the Permission you created above. If you want a simple Arm-Disarm then leave the Schedule here as Always On. The Schedule selected here is only for the User. It determines when the User is allowed to perform an Arm-Disarm, not when the Arm- Disarm will occur.

Programming Instructions for UltraSync Pre-conditions 1. At least one user has been given a username and PIN code (see "Programming Instructions for Users" on page 87). 2. Aritech Reliance XR is connected to internet and has been allocated an IP address (see "Programming Instructions for Communicator"...
2. Under sub-menu 12 - IP Options, tick the box “Enable UltraSync”. 3. Go to Menu 22 - UltraSync. 4. Enter a new 8-digit Web Access Passcode. All zeros will disable UltraSync remote access. 5. Enter the required details into your device/software. This includes the Aritech Reliance XR serial number, Web Access Passcode, and a valid Username and PIN code.
Page 113
Notes If an event message is enabled in an Event List, then the Channel will attempt to deliver it. If an event message is not enabled on the Event List, the Channel will not attempt delivery even if the message has been sent to it. Event List set up for push notifications is automatically performed by the UltraSync+ app when required.
Example In this example we have created two lists: Critical and Informational. This allows us to selectively deliver event messages to different destinations. We open up Event Lists and enter the name “Critical”. We tick Alarms, Alarm Restores, Bypass and Bypass Restore, and AC Fail Reporting. Then we click to Event List 2 and enter the name “Informational”.
Page 115
Next Channel must be a higher value than the current Channel Number. Circular loops are not permitted. Take note of the Sequence Attempts under Communicator – System Event Reporting (6.11.2). This is the number of times Aritech Reliance XR will attempt the sequence of Channels you set up in this section.
Page 116
2. Enter an Account Number up to 8 digits, hex values are accepted. 3. Select the Format of the communication channel, this will automatically use the settings programmed for that Format in the Communicator menu. If reporting to a control room via UltraSync, this must be set to “UltraSync”. 4.

Programming Instructions for Scenes Goal Create a scene that performs multiple functions when a certain condition is met. Pre-conditions The schedule you want the Scene to follow needs to be programmed. Notes User 99 will be reported for alarm system control events.
Instructions 1. Open Scenes. 2. Select Event Type and the Area. 3. Select the Schedule that will determine when this Scene is active. 4. Now program the sequence of actions that you want to happen. Example When Exit Delay 1 is running in the Office Area, set Camera 1 to start recording. Programming Instructions for Outputs Goal Turn an output on or off according to an Action.
Notes See Aritech Reliance XR Reference Guide for more details on Actions. Write/Plan out on paper what you want to create. This makes it easier to set up Actions and associated settings. Actions can be used without programming an Action Result. For example, outputs on Aritech Reliance XR are controlled by monitoring an Action State, no Action Result needs to be programmed.

Always check and test functionality a single step at a time. Users and Zones can have multiple levels of permissions, be sure to check that each permission level is always appropriate.
Arming and Disarming Your System You may arm and disarm areas from a NXX-1820-keypad. Only users with an authorized user code (Level 2 user) will be allowed to use the Aritech Reliance XR alarm system. Users with no valid user code (Level 1 user) do not have access as defined by EN 50131-3.
