Installation
PC-Com
In order to connect a computer to the control panel, a PC-Com lead
is required.
The PC-Com has a plug at either end of the cable. The
9-way D-type connector is for connection to a serial port on a
computer and the 5-way Molex connector is plugged onto Com 1
on the control panel.
Commissioning (Initial Power Up)
ALWAYS Ensure the mains is off
BEFORE removing the front cover
Connect the black battery lead to the negative (-) terminal of the
standby battery and the red battery lead to the positive (+) terminal
of the standby battery. All the indicator lights will come on. After 10
seconds the zone lights will turn off and a repeating 9 bleep error
tone will start.
To Load Factory Settings
Apply power to the control panel and press
OR press and release the lid tamper
spring 3 times BEFORE the zone lights turn off
and the repeating 9 bleep error tone starts
Enter the factory set User code
will stop.
Enter the factory set Engineer code
to access the Programming Menu and disable 24
Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper) via the Engineer code. All
the zone lights will illuminate.
Perform a Walk Test as described in on page 23. Remember
that some powered detectors (e.g. PIRs and Combined
Technology Detectors) take several minutes to warm up and
become operational.
Test the internal sounder, external sounder and strobe as
described on page 23. To adjust the low-level volume use the
control 'pot' on the PCB (see page 9), volume increases
anti-clockwise. If the system fails to operate as expected check
that the mounting and wiring are as per the instructions.
Correct any mistakes and repeat the test (see page 17, Trouble
Shooting).
Replace the lid and secure with the two lid screws supplied -
do not over-tighten.
Fit the screw covers, these can be found in the spares bag.
Press
to leave the Programming Menu. All the zone
lights will turn off.
The Power light will be flashing to indicate that action is
required. Switch on the mains supply to the control panel. The

Veritas R8 Plus & Excel Installation Manual
Power light will stop flashing and stay on continuously. If the
factory settings (see page 4) are not appropriate then re-
program the system as described on see page 19.
If you have a meter:
Disconnect the battery & check the total non-alarm current
is less than 1A.
Reconnect the battery & check the total alarm current is
not more than 1A.
The total current is measured as follows:
Set your meter to DC current.
Connect your meter across F5 (power supply fuse).
Remove F5.
Record the current drain.
Replace F5.
Remove your meter.
To avoid accidentally powering down the system be sure to
follow all the above steps in order.
Installation is now complete and
the system is ready for use.
If the battery is flat or faulty the RKP may not accept key
presses.
When the system is full set, after the exit period, the external
strobe will flash for approximately 6 seconds (this option can be
de-selected, see page 21).
Servicing the System
ALWAYS Ensure the mains is off
BEFORE removing the front cover
The Power light on the control panel is a status indicator for
the battery charging circuit, a steady light meaning normal. A
flashing light means action required - mains power can still
be present. ALWAYS use a suitable mains test instrument to
confirm that mains power is no longer present.
The transformer and heatsink may be hot during and after
use - do NOT touch.
Test the internal sounder, external sounder and strobe as
described on page 23. Perform a Walk Test as described on
page 23. Basic Log events may be viewed by following the
procedure described on page 29.
If it is necessary to remove the lid, first switch off the mains
supply to the control panel. Ensure that the Power light is
flashing, then use a suitable mains test instrument to confirm
mains power is no longer present.
Enter the 4 digit Engineer code
to access the Programming Menu and disable 24
Hour zones via the Engineer code. All the zone lights will
illuminate.
Remove the screw covers by inserting a screwdriver into the
screw cover slot and turning anti-clockwise whilst applying
pressure outwards.
Unscrew the lid screws and remove the lid.
On completion replace the lid and secure with the lid screws -
do not over-tighten.
