Installation
3. Installation
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 the
alarm detection devices, keypads etc. 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.
You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery
or applying AC mains to the control panel.
3. Installing the Keypads
Mount and connect the keypads to the control panel (see page 10
for wiring details).
4. Installing the Alarm Detection Devices
Install the detection devices, PIR's, Contacts, PA Buttons etc. and
connect them to the control panel (see page 11).
5. Install the External Sounder
Install the external sounder and connect to the control panel (see
page 15).
6. Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including speakers and output
connections etc. (see pages 14 - 15 for wiring details).
7. Applying Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 6 are completed, power can be applied to the
control panel.
If you need to load the factory default settings (see page
16).
Power should always be connected in the following order:
Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of the
battery and then connect the black battery lead to the
negative terminal.
Connect the AC mains.
8. Programming the Control Panel
Please refer to section 4 for instruction on programming the
control panel.
9. Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions
operate as required (see page 23).

Control Panel
Mounting the Control Panel
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.
ALWAYS refer to National Wiring Regulations when
conducting installation.
An appropriate and readily accessible 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
2
).
