3) (Optional) Connect the Powermax to the telephone 
line
 via terminals 2 & 5 on the BT socket, and the “Line” terminals 
on PowerMax. Alternatively, if you have a standard plug-in phone 
lead remove the clear plastic (RJ11) plug and use the centre two 
cores of the cable to connect to the line terminals (there is no 
difference which way around these are connected). 
If  Broadband  (ADSL)  is  enabled  on  the  premises  phone  L
line then you will need to t a lter. Available from most 
wholesalers.
4) Power-up the PowerMax by connecting the battery rst, 
which ts in to the compartment on the main panel, then connect 
the lead from the transformer to the 9VAC terminals.
The backup battery may take an hour to reach full capacity,  L
during this period the panel will report “CPU Low Battery”.
Depending  the  status  of  the  panel  and  accessories  the  L
display  will  show  [READY  –  MEMORY]  or  [NOT  READY  – 
MEMORY]. At any time you can press the status button on 
the keyfob, or repeatedly press
 
 
to nd out the faults/
memory conditions that are outstanding.
5) Before you Install the Accessories we recommend that 
you carry out a diagnostic check which is in section 7 of this guide. 
Each device is labelled with its zone number. Make sure you note 
this before installing.
Additionally each sensor supplied in this kit is pre- programmed 
for the following:
Zone 1 - Front Door Contact. ‘Delay 1’ to start the Entry timer
• 
Zone 2  -  Hall  PIR.  ‘Perimeter Follow’  to  allow user  to  walk 
• 
through during entry time to disarm
Zone 3 - Living Room PIR ‘Perimeter’ which will trigger the 
• 
alarm once armed
PIR motion sensors should be sited to ensure that they do not 
face  into  direct  sunlight, 
windows,  strong  sources 
of  heat  and  cold  (i.e. 
heaters,  radiators,  cold 
drafts or ventilators). They 
should  also  be  mounted 
at  the  correct  height 
(between 1.8 – 2.4m) in a 
position, for PET sensors, away from stairs and that does not allow 
animals to move within 1m of the device.
To  install,  remove  the  cover,  unclip  the  PCB, drill  and  t  in  to 
position being careful not to over tighten the screw and distort 
the backplate. Then ret the PCB in to the back plate ensuring the 
back tamper switch sits on to the metal spring.
Wireless  PIR’s  have  a  two  minute  sleep  timer  to  save  L
battery life – On initial power up the unit will go through a 
self test (LED ashing) then enter a walk test mode. If the 
PIR has gone into sleep mode make each room vacant for 
two minutes or open and close the lid before carrying out 
the walk test.
MCT-320 Door Contact has a built in reed switch, for use with the 
magnet supplied.
To install, t the main transmitter to the door or window frame, 
ensuring that the curved edge is facing the opening section. The 
magnet should be installed on the opening section no more than 
5mm from the transmitter. 
If  the  gap  between  the  MCT-320  and  magnet  is  to  great  L
use  the  7mm  plastic spacer,  provided  within the  kit,  too 
increase the height of the magnet.
MCS-730 Wireless Siren is installed using the four xing screws 
provided.  Note  the  fth 
screw  should  be  tted  for 
the back tamper (EN50131 
Grade 2 installations) using  
the xing point in the centre 
below the peizo siren. The 
MCS-730 can be tted with 
a second battery for extended life and  also has a  comfort LED 
which can be enabled/disabled via the jumper link in the battery 
compartment. See MCS-730 manual for more information.
Important – The panel selector link inside the MCS battery  L
compartment must be in the PM+ position.
Note up to two MCS sirens can be tted to the PowerMax.  L
Enrol additional devices by rstly removing from their packaging 
and  opening  the  cases  near  the  PowerMax.  Then,  whilst  in 
installer mode (see section 1 Accessing the Installer mode) press
 
 
 
until ‘Enrolling’ is shown, press
   
then:-
For PIR Movement sensors, Door Contact, Glassbreaks, hand held 
panic buttons etc :-
Press
• 
   
until [Enrol Sensors] is show on the screen. Press 
 
. At [Set Sensitivity] press
 
, then
   
again. 
Press
• 
   
until you get to the next available zone (by default 
this will be zone 4) which will be indicated by having no black 
marker on the right of the screen.
Press
•   
. ‘Transmit now’ will be on screen.
Add the battery supplied to the sensor you wish to enrol to 
• 
this zone.
