3. INSTALLATION 
3.1 Unpacking the Equipment 
Open the cardboard packing box and check whether all 
items have been included. If you find out that an item is 
missing, contact your vendor or dealer immediately. 
3.2 Supplying Power to the Unit 
Enrolling the transmitting devices’ ID codes in the Power- 
Max+ memory will be easier if carried out before actual 
installation, with all detectors and the control panel on a 
work bench. It is therefore necessary to power up the 
PowerMax+ temporarily from the external power trans- 
former (see figure 3). Alternatively, you may power up 
from the backup battery, as shown in figure 1. 
Disregard any “trouble” indications that may appear 
(due to lack of battery or lack of telephone line connection).  
 
Remove battery area cover
(see fig. 4, step 3) and
remove battery compartment
cover (1 screw).
Connect rechargeable
battery pack (see
specifications) to the battery
connector. Afterwards
remount battery area and
battery compartment covers.

3.3 Programming  
It pays off to plan ahead - use the tables in appendices A 
and B at the end of this guide to register the intended 
location of each detector, the holder and assignment of 
each transmitter and the control plan for the X-10 units.  
Gather up all transmitters and detectors used in the 
system and mark each one in accordance with your 
deployment plan. 
Program the system now as instructed in the 
PowerMax+ Programming Guide.  
3.4 Mounting 
PowerMax+ mounting process is shown in figure 2. 
3.5 Wiring 
PowerMax+ wiring is shown in figure 3. 
Extract the screw terminal blocks one by one and make 
the necessary connections. When done, plug each 
terminal block onto its PCB mounted pins.  
You will need 6-lead RJ-11 cord(s) for telephone line or 
telephone line and telephone set.
