1.  Control Panel Installation

  

The Control Panel is fixed using the two M5 slots in the rear of the box.

 

  

Cabling for the Control Panel can either be run inside a cavity 

    

wall with an exit hole directly behind the Control Panel, or 

    

can be run in conduit on the outside of the wall. If using 

    

conduit, the optional mounting box must be used to allow 

    

cable access to the sides of the panel (Fig. 1).  

  

Undo the two small screws at the top of 

    

the panel and carefully remove the front 

    

face, taking care not to pull the cable 

    

between the two parts (Fig. 2). 

  

Connect the cable for each Head Unit to 

    

the appropriate screw terminals (marked 

    

CH1 to CH8) on either side of the rear 

    

entry slot. Note which colour wires have been 

    

used for each terminal (marked A, B, C, and D). 

    

These will connect to the corresponding terminals 

    

in the Head Unit. If using 3-core cable, connect to 

    

terminals A, B, and C only (Fig. 3).

NOTE:

 Incorrect wiring may lead to damage to 

either the Control Panel or the Head Unit. 

Cabling

  

Scorpion can be connected using the following cables to give up to 100m distance 

    between the Control Panel and each Head Unit:

2

    

a. Fire resistant cables such as FP200 1.5mm (Lapp J-Y(ST)Y 0.5mm ), 

 

       or equivalent recommended

2

2

    

b. Maximum conductor size is 1.5mm , minimum is 0.5mm

    

c. Screened cable is not required 

  

The connector used in the Head Unit is intended for solid-core conductors for ease 

    of installation in difficult areas. Stranded cable may be used but would need to be 
    tinned (soldered) or terminated with a suitable terminal (ferrule) with an external 
    diameter no greater than 1.5mm.

  

Each Head Unit requires three (3) conductors (A, B & C). 4-core cable is 

    recommended.

 

Cabling must be installed in accordance with local wiring regulations. Scorpion uses 

 

    battery power (nominal 7.2V, 2.2Ah).

  

Tighten the terminal screws.
