Select a mounting location accessible to the following:
1. A continuously powered (non-switched) AC power source, compatible with any step-down
transformer. Make sure the mains (110 or 220V) are fused.
2. Cold water pipe Ground, ideally no farther than 3 meters (10 feet) from the panel. Use 16 AWG
(0.5 mm
2
) wires.
3. Telephone Line socket.
Always install the control panel box in a difficult-to-access location.
It is recommended to locate one of the Keypads near the Entrance/Exit door.
Install a tamper-switch to detect opening or removal of the control panel box.
Ideally, the tamper-switch is connected to a 24H zone type (24H zone is active at all times).

Zone Wiring Mode
Series 2000 allows several ways of zone wiring: Non EOL (End-of-Line) resistor loop, EOL resistor
loop, EOL for double zone loop. The EOL loop protects the zone lines against tampering. EOL mode
is safer and prevents EMI and RFI interference.
Via programming, select either EOL resistor protection, or non-EOL mode. The EOL is defined at
address 029; the default program is set at non-EOL for all zones. To set EOL mode select at address
029 the required non-EOL zone. Note that address 029 selects the non-EOL zone. Enter ‘0’ in
address 029 to enable all zones as EOL.
If E.O.L. mode selected (recommended), install the EOL resistor (2.2K/0.25 or 0.5W) inside the
detection device (e.g. PIR, Magnetic Switch). Using EOL mode is highly recommended. In EOL
mode don’t connect two or more sensors on same zone.
Starting version 2.12 ‘Green Reset Zone’ (refer to Glossary Section) programmed by default to all
zones.
Maximum zone wiring length is 200 meters when using 0.5-mm
2
(gauge 22 wire) wires.
Note: ‘Zone’ and ‘Sector’ are interchangeable terms in this manual.
Do not run wire zones alongside telephone wires, high voltage wires, or transmitting antennae
It is recommended to always use EOL resistor mode, to prevent EMI and RFI interference
Double-Pole Zone wiring:
The Double-Pole Zone feature saves wiring and doubles the zone quantity by using two wires instead
of four, for both Tamper and Alarm indications. All zones common is the –V, for sensors (PIR,
Beams, etc) use a three or four wire cable; two wires for 12V power and one or two wires for zone.
For a Tamper condition: Fit the zone with EOL resistors, permit the ‘Enable Zone Tamper’ feature by
programming the address number 030.
Upon Tamper alarm, a ‘t’ will be displayed at keypad, followed by the zone number. At Disarmed
mode, holding-down key ‘9’ (Reset) disables the Tamper alarm at the alarmed zone.
Starting from version 2.08 (and up), any EOL zone will report Tamper alarm in case of zone shorting
(if it has been EOL programmed). To enable Tamper zone as 24H zone refer to address 051/1.
Upon Tamper alarm, a ‘t’ will be displayed, followed by the zone number. To disable Tamper alarm,
hold down key ‘9’.
