pipe using a minimum 16 AWG (or larger) wire, or according to the country grounding
standard. Run the ground wire via the shortest possible route.
System grounding is compulsory. For trouble free system, use a good ground.
Connect the Grounding wire to main board and to the metal box.
Note: Connect the Ground wire to the terminal marked
. This is not a Minus (-V).
Beware of static discharge; before handling the main board touch a grounded metal.
Before grounding the system, make sure ground properly connected and does not transfer high
voltages. If ground is not available, run a ground wire and connect to a cold water pipe as close
as possible to earth.

Back-up Battery
Connect the Battery in the correct polarity!
•
The system's Red wire is the positive pole (+) and the Black wire is the negative pole (-).
•
The battery will provide power back-up in case of AC power failure.
•
Connect back-up battery to ensure proper operation of the system.
•
Recommended battery: 6.0 to 7.2 Amperes per Hour (AH), 12V SLA (Sealed Lead Acid)
type. The AV-2016 box is ready for extra AV-21 power supply and 5003TER transformer.
•
7.2 AH battery provides power back-up to control panel and to a single keypad for
approximately 8 hours. With LCD keypad, the backup time is to 6 hours.
•
AV-2016 accommodates two 12V - 7.2 AH battery. Do not connect two batteries in series
or parallel. Contact us for instructions.
•
An Electronic Fuse protects the battery circuit.
4.3
Before Powering Up
•
Place the Control Panel in a well-ventilated location, as far as possible from heat sources.
•
High power RF transmitters place at least 2 meters away from the control panel.
•
Check for proper grounding. Un-charge your body by touching the Ground terminal.
•
Make sure polarity of detectors, keypads and other devices is correct.
•
Connect a momentary voltage to the siren; making sure a ‘beep’ sounded. If there is no
beep, check for a short circuit or improper connected wires.
•
Initial power-up with AC transformer only. Connect battery only after keypad and sensors
seem to be operating well. (Do not Power-up with battery alone.) Verify power polarity of
keypads.
•
Do not connect any devices to the battery terminals.
•
The alarm panels contains Electronic Fuse, in case the fuse blows return to factory for
replacement. Refer to further details at page 9.
•
Observe the dial LED self test at initialization (STI) - Dial LED blinks for the first 50
seconds after power on, confirms that the panel is operative. Also, wait for the six beeps
from the keypad to confirm that the keypad is communicating with the panel.
