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 Control Panel
The control panel must be mounted within the protected 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.
3. Install the Remote Keypads
Mount the remote keypads at locations that are easily accessible
during entry and exit from the protected area. Connect the remote
keypads to the control panel.
4. Zone Wiring
Install detection devices and connect to control panel or
expander.
5. Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including external/internal sounders
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. Program the System
If available use the Eclipse UDL software package to program the
system, if this is not available program this system in accordance
with the procedures in Section 3.
8. 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 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.
