Document No. AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller Installation Instructions 

Important Guidelines

Please read this instruction leaflet thoroughly before commencing installation.

 

Install the AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller accordingly to meet local and country  
installation requirements.

 

The AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller must be installed in accordance with BS 5839-1:2017 (or 
country equivalent) and IEC 60364 and authorities having jurisdiction.

 

Ensure the product is installed, commissioned and maintained by qualified professionals 
according to good engineering practices and who have received sufficient training on  
the unit.

 

Only use Kidde AlarmLine II Digital EN Linear Heat Detection cable with the  
AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller. 

 

Test the Digital Linear Heat Detection cable before connecting it to the AlarmLine II Digital EN 
Controller using a multimeter.

 

Ensure the end of line resistor (3.6kohm) is securely connected at the end each linear heat 
detection cable.

 

If only one zone is required leave the end of line resistor (3.6kohm) connected across the 
terminals of the unused zone.

 

Ensure any cable glands used are tightened to form a secure and moisture proof seal around  
the detection cable and any other cable in or out of the unit.

  Do not exceed the maximum operating voltage of the AlarmLine II Digital EN Controller (36Vdc).

  Do not connect lengths of linear heat detection cable in ‘T’ connections or spurs.
