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, zone expanders 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 and the incoming telephone line (if
using a communicator).

You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery or
applying AC mains to the control panel.
3: Install the Keypads and Zone Expanders
Mount and connect the keypads, zone expanders and output
modules to the control panel (see page 20 for wiring details).
4: Install the Alarm Detection Devices
Install the detection devices, PIR’s, Contacts, PA Buttons etc. and
connect them to the control panel (see page 31 for wiring details).
5: Install the External Sounder
Install the external sounder and connect to the control panel (see
page 33 for wiring details).
6: Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring including speakers, telephone line and
output connections etc. (see pages 33 - 34 for details).
7: Applying Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 6 are completed, power can be applied to the
control panel.
When applying power for the first time, the factory default settings
must be loaded (see page 42 for details). 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

The panel will only become ‘live’ when the AC Mains is
connected or the ‘Battery Kick-start’ button is pressed.
• Connect the AC mains
For a complete list of factory default settings, see the Quick
Reference Guide supplied with your panel.
8: Programming the Control Panel
Please refer to section 5 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 112 for details).
Control Panel
Mounting
Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall using at least three
screws of appropriate size.

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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. HAZARDOUS
VOLTAGES INSIDE, NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS, NO
USER ACCESS.

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.
Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for the rated
current (i.e. at least 0.75mm
2
).
