4. Place the backup battery and Alien/G power supply in the most suitable position
inside the box.
5. Connect to the mains network.
6. Open the Alien/G casing by first removing the safety screw and then pushing the
enclosure clasp open.
7. Pass the wires through the wire entry on the back of the Alien/G.
8. Fit the screws into the screw locations (
Table 36: Alien/G - mounting possibilities,
D
) and attach the Alien/G securely to the flush-mount box.
After securely mounting the Alien/G, make sure that the microswitch is closed.
9. Complete all the connections.
10. Close the Alien/G.

Alien/G power supply
The Alien/G can be powered via three different sources, which can be used, therefore
connected, individually or simultaneously.
MAINS POWER SUPPLY
230VAC 50HZ
The mains supply requires the use of a power supply (
Table 36: Alien/G - mounting
possibilities, B
) and a separate line from the mains box. The line must be protected by a
safety-standards compliant circuit breaker (trip switch).
The protective earthing system must be compliant with all safety standards and laws in
force.
Connect the power supply (already connected to the mains) to terminals “
+ 14 -
” on
the PCB, taking care to respect the correct polarity of the wires. The power supply will
provide power to the Alien/G and the devices connected terminal to “
+
” of the BUS and
also recharge the backup battery.
I-BUS
The I-BUS line for the direct connection to a SmartLiving control panel supplies 12V
current through the I-BUS connection terminals “
+
” and “
-
” on the PCB. This current
provides power to the Alien/G and the devices connected terminal to “
+
” of the BUS
and also recharges the backup battery.
BACKUP BATTERY
The backup battery connection (
Table 36: Alien/G - mounting possibilities, C
) must be
achieved through the connecter on the PCB and the specific wire (included) which has a
faston terminal at each end.
ATTENTION!
Ensure that battery polarity is correct:
- black wire = negative
- red wire = positive
The lead battery is a secondary power source that provides power to the Alien/G and
the devices connected to the BUS, whether it is equipped with a power supply or I-BUS
or both.
