Installation

Location and Mounting

Before mounting the metal box, push the five white nylon mounting studs into the back of the box. Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them for connection
before mounting the circuit board into the back of the cabinet. For the MG5075, if tamper is required, remove the PCB from the plastic enclosure prior to mounting.
Select a centralized installation site on the main floor that isn't easily accessible to intruders and leave at least 5cm (2in) around the panel box to permit adequate
ventilation and heat dissipation. The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground connection and telephone line connection. Avoid installation
near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects, circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may
cause interference and reduce sensitivity. Avoid installing the control panel in the basement.

IMPORTANT: To comply to EN 50131 requirements, unit must be

installed in an approved tamper enclosure.

Do not cut, bend or alter the antennas and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these may affect the signal reception.

EN 50131 Compliancy

In order to meet with EN 50131 compliancy you will require the following:
•

EN Metal Box (MG5050 EN and SP Series)

•

Tamper Kit TK278 (MG5050 EN and SP Series)

•

Tamper Antenna (MG5050 EN only)

•

Firmware version 4.96 or higher (not applicable for MG5075)

•

Plastic Box (included with the MG5075)

•

75W Internal Power Supply (MG5075 only)

Earth Ground

Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control panel to the metallic enclosure (MG5000/MG5050/MG5050EN/SP Series only) and cold water pipe or
grounding rod as per local electrical codes.

WARNING: For maximum lightning protection, use separate earth grounds for the zone and dialer grounds as shown in the PCB Layouts for each
respective panel. For UL installations, the metallic enclosure must be grounded to the cold water pipe.

AC Power

Do not use any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer in order to avoid accidental user AC shut off. Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 1. Use
Table 1 for appropriate transformer. For the MG5075, use the supplied internal power supply.

Use only safety approved Transformer with rated output voltage of 16.5Vac and rated power of 40 VA maximum.

Backup Battery

To provide power during a power loss, connect a 12 Vdc 4 Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery as shown in Figure 1 below. Use a 7 Ah battery to comply
with UL fire requirements. Connect the backup battery after applying AC power. When installing, verify proper polarity as reversed connections will blow the battery fuse.

Use only safety approved rechargeable battery with rated voltage of 12 Vdc and rated current of 7A maximum.

Battery Test

If the battery is disconnected or if the battery fuse is blown, a No/Low Battery failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display

(See “Trouble Display” on page 63).

This trouble will also appear if the battery’s capacity is too low or if the voltage drops to 10.5V* or lower while the control panel is running on the backup battery. At
8.5V** or lower, the panel shuts down and all outputs close.

* For MG5075 low battery trouble will occur if voltage drops to 11.6V or lower.
** For MG5075 panel shutdown will occur at 11.0V.
