2.1 Installation Requirements
A suitable transformer with an output voltage of 16 Vac ±10% with a 32VA minimum rating must
be used. A 48VA transformer is recommended for larger installations.
A 12V sealed lead acid battery with a minimum capacity of 7AH must be used. The backup
period after mains failure will depend on the number of keypads, sensors, and bus-wired
peripheral devices connected to the system.
Connect a 12V self-driven siren or piezo siren (not a horn speaker) to the siren output.
The panel can supply a total continuous current of 750mA to bus-wired peripheral devices such
as keypads, remotes, receivers, passives etc; from Aux 12V terminals.
2.1.1 End-of-Line Resistors
All zones, including Panic zones, are end-of-line supervised.
All zones, whether they are used or unused, need to be terminated with a 3K3 resistor (resistor
colour-code is orange, orange, red, gold).
For maximum security, the end-of-line resistor must be placed inside or as close to the sensor as
possible.
For tamper by zone, 4K7 and 12K end-of- line resistors must be connected instead of a single
3K3 resistor.
If the panel is unarmed and a tamper condition occurs, the siren will not sound but a tamper
condition will be reported if it is enabled to do so. See Table 40 to enable/disable this option.
If the panel is armed and a tamper condition occurs, an audible alarm will register, and a tamper
condition AND zone violation will be reported.
2.1.2 Box Tamper Input
The box tamper input does not require an end-of-line resistor, but does require a normally closed
contact. The panel is shipped with the box tamper input bypassed with tamper. To use it, remove the
jumper and connect a normally closed contact onto the terminals. Refer to Figure 1 for the box tamper
position on the Alarm Panel.
2.1.3 Connecting the Telephone Communicator - Advanced
Refer to: Figure 1: Connection Diagram without Tamper per Zone.
For optimum lightning protection, connect a low resistance earth to the communicator earth
input.
Always connect the telephone communicator in line seizure mode and never in parallel with the
telephone.
Ensure the telephone receiver is connected to the communicator terminals marked “phone” and
the incoming line to the terminals marked “line”.
2.1.4 Programmable Outputs
An IDS Relay Board (P/N: 861-004) must be used when any device requiring a current greater than 50mA
is connected to a programmable output. The programmable output circuitry consists of a 12V source with
a 56 series resistor. Current sink is via a 1, 000 resistor to ground. The maximum output voltage is
13.6Vdc. The maximum output current is 25mA. Programmable outputs are primarily connected for radio
transmitter. However, they are also used for connecting, LEDs, sirens, bus-wired peripherals, etc.
