Document No. AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller Installation Instructions 

1. After wiring the unit up (see wiring diagram) power up the device. 
Device will show screen including software revision number.

2. If the unit is being setup for the first time the following options will 
be shown. If the unit has previously been installed the display will 
automatically cycle through the options, showing the stored settings.

3. After the initial title screen the next screen will show a menu (see 
right) with three options: Load Configs, New Configs and Self Test. On a 
previously configured device, after 10s of no button press the device will 
automatically proceed to loading saved configs.

4. If “Load Configs” is selected or  no button has been pressed after 10s 
on a 

previously configured device

, the screen will show “Loading Saved 

Configs”. The previously saved parameters will then be displayed.

5. Select the operating mode. (see “Operating modes” (pages 7-8)  
for more detail.  

Independent:

 the two zones operate independently of each  

other (default).  

Interlock:

 Both fault outputs activate when a fault occurs on either zone 

1 or zone 2. Both alarm outputs activate 

only

 when both Digital LHD 

zones trigger an alarm.

6. Select the relevant operating programme for Zone 1 based on the 
table below:

7. Select the relevant operating programme for Zone 2 based on the table 
below:

8. If leader cable is connected between the Digital LHD cable and the 
AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller and/or the LHD cable is installed in a 
hazardous area and IS barriers are being used, the voltage drop to the 
start of the LHD cable must be measured by the AlarmLine II Digital EN 
Controller in order to ensure correct operation and accurate distance 
location. In order to do this, with the leader cable and/or IS barriers and 
LHD cable connected to the AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller, short out 
the connection at the 

start

 of the LHD cable. Select “Yes” and press Set to 

continue.
