ONNECTIONS
With the exception of the mains wiring all
interconnections should be made with multicore 7/.02 alarm cable.
Good wiring practice should be observed throughout the installation and the following
tips may prove useful.
Never run alarm cables parallel to mains cables, telephone cables or any
other cables that may be carrying inductive loads
Whenever you have to cross mains cables with alarm cables ensure that you
do so at 90°
Whenever possible wire the mains connection for the control panel back to
the consumer unit via a 3A unswitched fused spur.
Never tap into ring main circuits that have fridges/freezers on them.
Never tap into lighting circuits that have fluorescent lighting units on them.

A stand alone ACE receiver is also available. This receiver will allow for the setting,
part setting, unsetting, resetting (if programmed) and activation of alert keys 1 & 3.
To mount the ACE receiver remove the front retaining screw of the receiver that is
situated on the underside of the unit, pull the bottom edge of the cover forwards and
upwards in one movement. The PCB may now be removed by unclipping it at the
bottom edge and lifting clear of the base.

The base should be fixed to the wall in three positions using 30mm x No.6 screws and
suitable rawl plugs.
It should be noted that the ACE receiver may only be used as keypad ident 1 or 2.
The new Contour range of stylish remote keypads are also available for the full
