Connecting The Ac Transformer; Detectors Compatible With The Powermax; Transmitters Compatible With The Powermax - Visonic Powermax Installation Instructions Manual

Refer to Figure 10 and proceed as follows:
A . Extract the screw terminal blocks one by one and make
the necessary connections. When done, plug each
terminal block onto its PCB mounted pins.
B. Prepare the cable assemblies that connect the:
Powerline carrier (X-10) socket to the Powerline
interface module,
The LINE socket to the telephone line (or the LINE
& SET socket to the line and local telephone set).
C. Mate the RJ-11 plugs with their respective sockets. Do
not confuse the X-10 plug with the LINE plug.
D. Route the wires via the wiring channels at the back.
With all wires properly seated, proceed to Para. 3.6.
3.6 Cabinet-to-Bracket Attachment
Once all connections are made and the wires are seated
within the channels at the rear, it is only necessary to
attach the control panel to the wall-mounted bracket.
Having separated the bracket from the cabinet (see Para.
3.4.), you already have a notion of what has to be done.
Nevertheless, refer to Figure 11 and proceed as follows:
A. Hold the cabinet with its top slightly slanted toward
yourself and align the trap at the bottom of the cabinet
with the dual-prong catch at the bottom of the bracket.

B. Allow the dual prong catch to enter the trap as far as it
will go while the cabinet is slanted towards your stomach.

C. Using the dual prong catch as a pivot, bring the top of
the cabinet closer to the wall, allowing the two hangers
to enter the two corresponding holes in the cabinet.
D. Once the cabinet is flush against the bracket, slide it
down as far as the hangers will allow (about 10 mm).
The dual prong catch at the bottom should snap into
place with a click.
E. Test the assembly by lightly pulling the cabinet away
from the wall. If correctly mounted, the cabinet will
adhere to the bracket.
Note: See Para. 5.1 for dismounting procedure.

3.7 Connecting the AC Transformer

CAUTION! Do not plug the transformer into the AC
outlet before completing all other wiring.
A. Remove the center screw from the AC wall outlet.
B. Plug the transformer directly in - the Power LED of the
control panel should illuminate.
C. Use the screw removed in Step A above to secure the
transformer to the AC outlet. Tighten the screw well.
A . The distance of the transformer from the system should
not exceed 150 ft using 18 AWG conductors.
For UL installation, do not connect to a receptacle
controlled by a switch.
3.8 PowerMax-Compatible Detectors
Each detector compatible with the PowerMax system is
packed with its own installation instructions. Read them
carefully and install as indicated.
A. PIR Motion Detectors
The wireless passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors used
in the system are of the PowerCode type, using a unique
24-bit identification code. The PowerMax is capable of
"learning" each detector's identification code and linking it
to a specific zone (see Section 3 in the Programming
Manual). Two examples are shown in Figures 13 and 14.
For additional types, refer to your Visonic Ltd. supplier.
In addition to its unique identification
code, each detector transmits a status
message, providing the following status
information:
• The detector is in alarm (or not in
alarm).
• The detector is being tampered with (or
not).
• The battery voltage is low (or normal)
• "This is a supervisory message".
If any of these detectors detects motion, it
sends out a message to the alarm control
panel. If the system is in the armed state,
an alarm will be triggered.
B. Magnetic Contact Transmitter
The MCT-302 (see Figure 15) is a Power-
Code magnetic-contact transmitter used to
detect the opening of a door or a window.
The alarm contacts are closed as long as
the door or window remain closed.
In addition, the unit has an extra alarm input that behaves
as if it were a separate wireless transmitter. This type of
detector sends (or does not send) a "restored to normal"
message to the alarm system, depending on the setting of
an on-board "DIP" switch. The "restore" message informs
