Section 2: Installation
2.1 Overview of installation process
The steps below are provided to assist with the installation of the alarm system. Read over this section to get an overall
understanding of the order of installation. Working from this plan can help reduce problems and reduce the overall time
required for installation.
Step 1 – create a layout
Draw a rough sketch of the site and include all alarm detection devices, zone expanders, keypads and other required mod-
ules.
Step 2 – mount the panel
Decide on a location for the alarm panel and secure it to the wall using suitable mounting hardware. see "Mounting the
enclosure" on page 12
Step 3 – wire the alarm controller
Wire each of the modules to the alarm controller following the guidelines provided in "Corbus wiring" on page 280
Step 4 – wire zones
Complete all zone wiring. Follow the guidelines provided in "Zone wiring" on page 35 to connect zones using normally
closed loops, single EOL resistor, double EOL resistors, triple EOL resistors, fire zones, and keyswitch arming zones.
Step 5 – complete wiring
Complete all other wiring including bells or sirens, telephone line connections, ground connections, Ethernet connection or
any other wiring necessary. Follow the guidelines provided in "Terminal descriptions" on page 27
Step 6 – power up the control panel
Once all zone and alarm controller wiring is complete, connect the battery before applying AC, and power up the system.
The alarm controller will not power up if only the battery is connected.
Step 7 – enroll keypads and modules
All keypads must be enrolled in order to operate on the system. To enroll the first keypad, see "Enrolling the first keypad " on
page 46. To enroll optional keypads, enter installer's programming section [902][000]. For more information, see "Module
Programming" on page 149.
Step 8 – confirm module supervision
By default, all modules are supervised upon installation. Supervision is enabled at all times. To confirm that each module is
properly supervised, see "[903] Confirm Module" on page 150.
Step 9 – enroll wireless devices
Wireless devices are enrolled via the wireless transceiver module (HSM2HOSTx) or RF keypad and Installer programming
section [804]. See "Wireless Programming" on page 132 to enroll wireless devices.
Step 10 – program the system
Section 5 "Programming" on page 72 provides a complete description of how to program the alarm controller. It contains
complete descriptions of the various programmable features and options. Fill out the programming worksheets starting at
"Programming Worksheets" on page 154 completely before attempting to program the system.
Step 11 – test the system
Test the panel completely to ensure that all features and functions operate as programmed.
2.2 Alarm controller installation
Begin the installation by mounting the alarm controller in the metal enclosure using the stand-offs provided. Optional mod-
ules, such as the HSM3408, can also be mounted in the enclosure.
Install hardware in the sequence indicated on the following pages.
