Premier Elite 8XP Installation Manual
2 INS179-5
1. Installation
The Premier Elite 8XP expander is only compatible with the Premier Elite range of control panels.
Expanders can be connected serially (daisy chain), in parallel (star) or any combination of the two.
Mounting
Remove each screw cap by inserting a flat bladed screwdriver into the slot and turning anti-clockwise,
excessive force is NOT required. Remove both of the cover screws and put them in a safe place along
with the screw caps. Gently pull the cover away from the base applying slight pressure to the sides at
the top of the expander if required. The front cover should now be off.
Mount the expander using at least two appropriate countersunk screws (no larger than No. 8). A
keyhole slot has been provided to assist mounting and aid levelling.
Wiring
It is strongly recommended that the system is completely powered down (mains and battery) before
wiring an expander. Connect the expander to the control panel using 4-core cable as follows:

- - 0V Supply
T T Transmit Data
R R Receive Data
The networks are made up of four terminals incorporating power and data. To ensure correct
operation, all four terminals on the device must be connected to the corresponding terminals on the
control panel or previous device.
Expanders can be connected using 4-core cable. However, it is recommended that 6 or 8-core cable is
used as the spare cores can be used to ‘Double Up’ on the power connections if needed.
Standard 7/0.2 alarm cable can be used for most installations. However, under certain conditions it may be
necessary to use screened cable.
