Section 1: Installation procedure
Planning
Site the panel near to a source of a.c. power.
If GSM/GPRS is fitted, check that the panel location will provide acceptable radio
reception.
If you intend to use wireless detectors and an RF Portal is fitted to the panel, check that
the panel location will provide acceptable radio reception. If radio reception to the panel
is not possible, consider installing one or more external RF Portals on the data bus.
If required, plan groups. Groups are completely independent sub-systems, and are also
known as wards, partitions or areas. The system can be split into a maximum of 8
groups that can be programmed to operate independently from each other.
Install the panel and a keypad
1.
Mount the panel to the wall using the mounting holes shown. Ensure the lid can be
opened sufficiently to be removed or to allow you access to wire the panel.
2.
Connect at least one keypad onto the RS485 data cable (for help refer to

peripheral devices
on page 22). This is required to set up and program the alarm system.
