Connect DC Power
Your PanelMate unit is designed to operate at
24VDC -15%/+20%. A removable three-position DC
power connector attaches to the unit's connector
receptacle. The DC input common (-terminal) and
the chassis GND terminal are both internally
connected to the PanelMate chassis.
Use #18 AWG (0.82mm ) copper wire for
power and ground lead connections.
Power conditioning may be required when
the PanelMate unit is installed in areas of
poor power quality.

Your PanelMate unit could be damaged if it is
connected to voltages outside the range of 18 to
30VDC. Your PanelMate unit is fully protected
against polarity reversal and will not operate if
input polarity is reversed.
Connection to a Personal Computer
Connection to the Fault Relay
Connection to the Audio Output
Connection to the Security Keyswitch
Executive firmware and PanelMate configurations
are uploaded/downloaded to a personal computer
using the PanelMate unit's serial port. A transfer
serial cable is provided with your PanelMate
Configuration software. Refer to your PanelMate
Getting Started Manual for more information.
The fault relay may be wired in normally open or
normally closed configuration. It is a Form C
contact, rated for 2 amps at 120VAC, 2 amps at
230VAC, and 2 amps at 28VDC resistive load.
During normal operation, the fault relay will energize
after entering Run Mode. Whenever the PanelMate
unit detects a communication error or system
failure, the fault relay will be de-energized. It is also
possible to de-energize the fault relay whenever an
alarm condition occurs. You can set the fault relay to
de-energize on alarms by using the System
Parameters Table. Refer to the System Parameters
topic in the Configuration Software Online Help and
in the Configuration Editor User's Guide for more
information.
The Audio Feedback Kit is an optional accessory to
your PanelMate unit. To connect the external 8 Ohm
speaker to your PanelMate unit, connect the
speaker to the Audio connector.
The Security Keyswitch connection is provided for
external security/password applications.
