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
Remove all packing material and familiarize yourself with the parts. Mount the control in 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. 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 keypad height is 50-58 inches above the floor. Select a location with an ambient temperature range between 32
°
and
120
°
F (0° to +49
°
C). Avoid direct sunlight if possible. Fasten mounting plate to electrical box (or directly to wall) using flat
head screws to prevent shorts to the back of the circuit board. Keypads have a removable wiring plug for connecting to the 4-
wire data bus. CAT5 or CAT6 eight (8) conductor cable is recommended for all Data Bus cables. The extra wires provide
data return paths. Splice the Black, Red, White, and Green wires from the removable wiring plug to the Data Bus cable. Plug
the connector into the back of the keypad. Tuck wires neatly into back plate and install Keypad on mounting plate. Each
keypad has connections for an optional programmable output and a programmable zone input.
