EsD WArning
(Electrostatic Discharge).
Once properly installed, Ness control
panels are well protected from ESD.
However, take note of the following
precautions during installation.
The human body can generate static
electricity when it is insulated from earth
- for instance by walking over carpet.
ESD occurs (and a small shock is
sometimes felt) if an earthed metal
object is then touched.
The installer should be aware that if
he generates static electricity while
installing the panel and then discharges
this static electricity into the internal
components on the main D8/D16 circuit
board or the keypad board, then ESD
damage may occur.
The circuit board should not be
unwrapped until it is actually ready to be
installed.
Methods to avoid electrostatic build-up.
1. Use a foot strap, a wrist strap,
or a grounding mat. The aim is
to connect the body to earth to
discharge static before it builds up.
The connection is a high resistance
for personnel safety.
2. If the above is not available, then it
is advisable to wear clothing that will
minimise the build-up of static.
3. Handle circuit boards by the edges.
Avoid touching any components on
the board as the integrated circuits,
in particular, are not guaranteed by
their manufacturers to be safe from
ESD.
4. To minimise the build-up of static,
avoid walking around as much
as possible while working on the
installation.
5. Touch an earthed object to
discharge any static before working
on the installation.
instALLAtion ProCEDUrEs
The main panel housing and keypad/s should be installed within areas that are protected by
motion sensors or reed switches. A linen closet or cupboard are good examples as these
are generally located in the centre of the premises. Installing in ceiling spaces or other areas
where extremes of temperature may be encountered is not advised.
Positioning of the movement detectors should be considered as the incorrect position may
cause unwanted alarms. Refer to the motion sensors' installation instructions.
1. Remove the lid and the battery from the base.
2. Securely mount the rear panel housing in a secure location.
3. Run all cabling needed for the installation.
4. Insert the red PCB stand-offs in the housing and then plug the circuit board onto the
stand-offs. See the ESD Warning on this page.
5. Wire the sensors, sirens and accessories to the main board terminal blocks as per the
wiring instructions in this installation manual.
6. Connect the 3G antenna connector on the PCB and install the antenna outside the
panel housing in a location providing the best signal strength as indicated by the
keypad signal strength display.
7. Fit the battery into the housing but DO NOT CONNECT the battery yet.
8. Insert the panel tamper bracket leads as shown below.
9. Insert the SIM card
10. Power up as described below.
11. Close the lid and program the panel as required.
PoWEr-UP ProCEDUrE
To enter INSTALLER PROGRAM MODE the first time, power-up with the PROG/TAMP link
OFF. If the PROG/TAMP link is ON and any other 24hr zones are unsealed on power-up the
panel will immediately go into alarm - reset the alarm via keypad or remove power to stop
the alarm.
1. ConnECt thE bAttEry First.
Observe correct polarity.
a) The heartbeat LED will flash continuously to indicate correct operation.
b) The Current Limiting Globes should be OFF. If the Globes are glowing, the battery
connection is reversed. Immediately disconnect the battery and check the polarity of
the battery leads.
If the heartbeat LED does not flash steadily or cycles off intermittently there may be a
problem with the initialisation of the onboard memory.
to remedy, in installer Program
mode press P95E, P97E & P98E to erase all programming and reload factory defaults
.
Then remove power by briefly removing one of the battery leads then re-connect. The
heartbeat LED should now be flashing continuously, proceed to power-up step 2.
2. tUrn on thE ExtErnAL PoWEr sUPPLy.
The Current Limiting Globes may
glow slightly to indicate that the battery is charging correctly.
