Section 2: Installation and Wiring
The following sections provide a complete description of how to wire and configure devices and zones.
2.1 Installation Steps
The following steps are provided to assist with the instal-
lation of the panel. It is suggested that you read over this
section briefly to get an overall understanding of the
order of installation. Once this is done carefully work
through each step. Working from this plan will help
reduce problems and reduce the overall installation time
required.
Step 1 Create a Layout
Draw a rough sketch of the building and include all alarm
detection devices, zone expanders, keypads and all other
modules that are required.
Step 2 Mounting the Panel
Locate the panel in a dry area, preferably located near an
unswitched AC power source and the incoming tele-
phone line. Before attaching the cabinet to the wall be
sure to press the five circuit board mounting studs into
the cabinet from the back.
NOTE:
Complete all wiring before applying AC or connect-
ing the battery.
Step 3 Wiring the Keybus (Section 2.4)
Wire the Keybus to each of the modules following the
guidelines provided.
Step 4 Assigning Zones to Zone Expanders
(Section 2.6)
If zone expander modules are being used the modules
must be configured so the panel knows which zones are
assigned to each expander. Follow the guideline provided
to assign zones to expanders.
Step 5 Zone Wiring (Section 2.10)
Power down the control panel and complete all zone wir-
ing. Follow the guidelines provided in section 2.10 to con-
nect zones using normally closed loops, single EOL
resistor, double EOL resistors, Fire zones and Keyswitch
Arming zones.
Step 6 Completing Wiring
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, tele-
phone line connections, ground connections or any other
wiring necessary. Follow the guidelines provided in sec-
tion 2.2 ‘Terminal Descriptions’.
Step 7 Power up the Control Panel
Once all zone wiring and Keybus wiring is complete,
power up the control panel.
NOTE:
The panel will not power up if only the battery is
connected.
Step 8 Keypad Assignment (Section 2.7)
Keypads must be assigned to different slots to be prop-
erly supervised. Follow the guideline provided in section
2.7 to assign keypads.
Step 9 Confirming Module Supervision
(Section 2.8)
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation.
Supervision is enabled at all times so that the panel can
indicate a Trouble if a module is removed from the system.
To confirm that each module is properly supervised, fol-
low the guidelines provided in section 2.8.
Step 10 Programming the System (Sections 4 & 5)
Section 4.0 provides a complete description of how to pro-
gram the panel. Section 5.0 contains complete descriptions
of the various programmable features, what options are
available and how the options function. The
Programming
Worksheets
should be filled out completely before attempt-
ing to program the system.
Step 11 Testing the System
Test the panel completely to ensure that all features and
functions are operating as programmed.
2.2 Terminal Descriptions
AC Terminals
The panel requires a 16.5 volt, 40 VA transformer. Connect
the transformer to an unswitched AC source and connect
the transformer to these terminals.
NOTE:
Do not connect the transformer until all other wir-
ing is complete.
Battery Connection
The battery is used to provide backup power in the event
of an AC power failure and to provide additional current
when the panel demands exceed the power output of the
transformer, such as when the panel is in alarm.
NOTE:
Do not connect the battery until all other wiring is
complete.
Connect the RED battery lead to the positive of the bat-
tery, the BLACK battery lead to the negative.
Auxiliary Power Terminals - AUX+ and GND
These terminals provide up to 550mA of current at 12
VDC
(rated 11.6-12.6 V
DC
for UL residential applica-
tions) for devices requiring power. Connect the positive
side of any device requiring power to the AUX+ terminal,
the negative side to GND. The AUX output is protected; if
too much current is drawn from these terminals (wiring
short) the panel will temporarily shut off the output, until
the problem is corrected. NOTE: The maximum AUX
capacity for 24-hr standby is 420mA.
Bell Output Terminals - BELL+ and BELL-
These terminals provide up to 3 Amps of current at 12
V
DC(rated 11.6-12.6 V
DC
for UL residential applica-
tions) (with standby battery; 700 mA continuous) for pow-
ering bells, sirens, strobes or other warning type
equipment. Connect the positive side of any alarm warn-
ing device to BELL+, the negative side to BELL–. The BELL
output is protected; if too much current is drawn from
these terminals (wiring short) the BELL PTC will open.
The bell output is supervised. If no alarm warning device
is being used connect a 1K
Ω
resistor across BELL+ and
BELL– to prevent the panel from displaying a Trouble con-
dition
(
see section ’[*][2] Trouble Display’
).
For UL installations, when a
bell or siren is used for fire
signaling with a pulsed
cadence, it must be con-
nected between the AUX+
and BELL- terminals. To
maintain bell circuit supervi-
sion, do not connect more
than one device to the BELL-
terminal. A fire bell or siren
used for this application must be UL Listed and have a
current consumption of 400mA or less (e.g. Wheelock
MT-12/24-R).
