1.1 Planning the Installation
The first step in any multi-zone security system installation is planning the job.
1.
Read this entire manual to familiarize yourself with all system features and procedures before actually beginning the
installation. Read all the information regarding Underwriters Laboratories (UL) and NFPA requirements.
2.
Perform a physical survey of the installation site. Use the diagrams below as a guide in planning the installation.
3.
Discuss the installation requirements and applications with the customer.
4.
Compare the installation requirements and applications with the factory default settings to determine what customized
programming is needed to meet the specific installation requirements.
5.
Bench test the system prior to installation.

1.3 Mounting and Wiring Preparation
Control Mounting
DO NOT MOUNT THE CONTROL OUTDOORS OR IN A DAMP LOCATION OR WHERE THE ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS
ARE UNSUITABLE FOR ELECTRONIC BASED EQUIPMENT. DO NOT MOUNT IN AN UNCONDITIONED ATTIC. USE
COMMON SENSE AND GOOD INSTALLATION PRACTICES. A suitable location would be inside a secure dry location where
the ambient temperature inside the control box can remain at 32‘ to 120
°
Fahrenheit (0’ to +49' Celsius). Choose a location
that allows easy wiring to an unswitched power outlet and to a grounding conductor for the control. A central location makes
running system wiring easier. Remove control box knockouts that best suit your wiring needs.
After removing all packing materials, compare the system components with those in the figure above to familiarize yourself
with the part names. Mount the control using the upper center slotted hole to level. Install and connect all necessary wiring for
the power transformer, detection loops, keypads and siren outputs.
Keypad Mounting and Wiring
Ideal height is 50-58 inches. Pick a location with an ambient temperature range between 32
°
and 120
°
F (0° to +49
°
C). Avoid
direct sunlight if possible. Fasten backplate to electrical box or wall with flat head screws to prevent shorts to the back of the
circuit board. Keypads have an unpluggable harness for connecting to the M1data bus. Splice the Black, Red, White, and
Green wires from the unpluggable harness to the M1 Data Bus field cabling. Plug the connector into the back of the keypad.
Tuck wires neatly into back plate and install Keypad on mounting plate. The LCD keypads have connections for an optional
programmable output and a programmable zone input. NOTE: Min. field wire gauge is 24 AWG, but 18 to 22 AWG is better for
long distances. CAT5 (8 conductor) cable can be purchased in various wire gauge sizes. Where possible always use the
larger gauge CAT5 cable. The extra conductors in CAT5 wires can be used to provide return path for the data A & B lines.

All perimeter openings below 18" should be provided with protection.
A Smoke Detector shall be located in each sleeping area and between
the sleeping areas and the main living area.
Early warning fire detection is best achieved by the installation of fire
detection equipment in the location shown above.
In homes basements or multiple levels at least one smoke detector
shall be on each level.
