Installation
2.1 Recommended Installation Procedure
1.
Connect a small group of modules, including a keypad. See
on page 3 for connection information.
2.
Connect the battery and AC power. Enter section
[4000]
on page 31). Only the Clock Loss trouble and/or Bell Absent
trouble should appear. Verify the connection if a module does not
appear in section
[4000]
, or if a module trouble occurs.
3.
Disconnect AC power and the battery, follow steps 2, 3 and 4 for other
modules.
4.
If modules were removed, enter
[4005]
5.
Connect an LCD keypad at various points from the control panel and
use the keypad’s built-in voltmeter.
2.2 Location & Mounting
Select a site that is not accessible to intruders and leave at least 2" around
the box to allow proper ventilation and heat dissipation. The site should be
dry and close to an AC, ground and telephone line connection.
2.3 Earth Ground
Connect the ground connector to the enclosure and cold water pipe or
grounding rod as per local electrical codes.
2.4 AC Power
Use a 16.5Vac (50/60Hz) transformer with a minimum 20VA rating. For
increased power use a 40VA rating.
For UL Listed systems, use model
#BE156240CAA. For CSA listed systems, use model #BE116240AAA.
Do
not use any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer.
Do not connect the transformer or the backup battery until all wiring is completed.
When powering up the EVO control panel, the panel will begin a module scan.
2.5 Backup Battery
Connect a 12Vdc 7Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery
(YUASA model #NP7-12 recommended). Verify the polarity, as reversed
connections will blow the battery fuse. For details on how to set the Battery
Charge Current to either 350mA or 850mA, see
2.5.1 Battery Test
The control panel conducts a dynamic battery test under load every 60
seconds. If the battery is disconnected, if its capacity is too low or if the
battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts or less when there is no AC, the “Battery
Trouble” message will appear in the Trouble Display. At 8.5 volts, the panel
shuts down and all outputs close.
2.6 Auxiliary Power Terminals
The auxiliary power supply can power accessories in the security system. A
fuseless circuit protects the auxiliary output against overload and shuts it
down if the current exceeds 1.1A. Auxiliary power will resume once the
overload condition has restored. Press and hold the AUX button for two
seconds to turn AUX power on and off.
2.7 Bell/Siren Output
The bell output supplies 12Vdc upon alarm and can support one 30-watt or
two 20-watt sirens. The bell output will automatically shut down if the
current exceeds 3A. If the load on the
BELL
terminals returns to normal
(
3A), the control panel will re-instate power to the
BELL
terminals. Please
verify correct polarity.
For connection of self-contained bell/siren, see Figure 3 on page 3.
When the bell output is not used, the “Bell Absent” message appears in the
Trouble Display. To avoid this, connect a 1k
resistor across the bell output. UL
Note: The keypads must be programmed to beep with all troubles.
2.8 Programmable Outputs
PGM1 to PGM4 are 100mA (max.) solid-
state relays with +/- trigger. PGM5 is a 5A/
28Vdc N.O./ N.C. relay output. They can be
set at either normally open or normally
closed. If the current draw on PGM1 to
PGM4 is to exceed the current output, we
recommend using a relay as shown in
2.9 Keyswitch Connections
Connect the keyswitches to the keypad,
control panel, or Zone Expansion Module's
hardwired input terminals as shown in
2.10 Access Control Connections

connection drawings, refer to
