Introduction
The Securit 7 is a microprocessor controlled intruder alarm
panel. It features seven zones of which five are programmable
and two dedicated to entry/exit and personal attack. A non-
volatile memory holds the programming options and the 18
event log. These will be retained even in the event of total
power loss. The panel utilises a blind control box, remote
programming and control keypad. The system is designed to
be simple to program and allow flexibility in use.
Note:
Before proceeding with installation read this document
thoroughly.
System planning
To enable the installation to proceed smoothly it is best to plan
the work before you begin. Start by drawing a plan of the
building to be protected (see figures 1 and 2). You will need to
divide the building into zones. Zone 1 is always used as the
final exit zone with the securit 7 panel.
The system layouts shown are a guide to typical positions of
the system components. This will obviously vary depending on
the premises and the level of protection to be afforded.
However, the general rules given cover all installation layouts.
General rules
1.
Final exit doors should have magnetic contact switches
fitted to ensure that the premises cannot be vacated with
the doors left open and also to protect against forced entry.
2.
PIR detectors are best fitted where an intruder has to pass
through an area to gain access (i.e. halls and landings) or
to protect specific valuable items (i.e. office, lounge). Care
should be taken in siting to avoid direct sunlight, strong
lighting and heat sources (hence the vibration detectors in
the kitchen) as these may cause nuisance tripping. They
are best sited so the intruder cuts across the field of view,
see figure 1 (some products are specifically designed for
long corridors in this instance this rule does not apply),
hence a corner position is usually adopted.
3.
PIR, ultrasonic, vibration detectors, etc. all have complex
electronics. These are best given their own zone as in the
event of a fault occurring isolating the fault will be quicker
and nuisance tripping quickly eliminated. Magnetic door
contacts tend to be very reliable if installed well within their
magnetic actuation limit. Hence these can be put in series
together on a loop if appropriate. They are also easier to
test if faulty.
4.
Wiring is best concealed where possible to prevent
damage and tampering. Try to avoid running along side
mains cables as interference may occur.
5.
The sound/strobe unit should be fitted well above head
height to avoid tampering. The wiring should pass directly
through the wall behind the bell to make it inaccessible.
6.
The control panel requires a 240V
power source. An
unswitched fused spur preferably direct from the consumer
unit on its own fuse wired in accordance with the current
IEE regulations should be provided.
Using the above general rules you should plan your installation
on your sketched drawing considering the panel siting, how the
cable runs can be minimised, where different types of detector
will be fitted and which zone they will be on. When you have
finalised your plan you can begin installation.
Mounting the control panel and keypad
Control panel
1.
Remove the lid screws.
2.
Disconnect the a.c. lead from the PCB (see figure 5).
3.
Gently pull the PCB from its nylon mounts.
4.
Offer the panel up to the wall and mark the holes.
5.
Using suitable fixings for the wall material, fix the panel to
the wall.
