5 - INSTALLATION
This chapter will explain all the procedures to follow to install the entire system, from the wiring to the assembly of the devices, from the
installation of various options and interfaces in the control panel to bus connections and those of detectors and output devices.
An explanation of how to open the control panel will be given, how to recognise the various parts of the control panel, of its expansion
modules and interfaces, and of the system devices.
The next chapter explains how to buy the various devices and start up the system.
5.1
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
The best operation sequence for installing an alarm system with MP500 control panels, in the least time possible while guaranteeing
optimal results, calls for the following steps to be taken:
1. Wiring.
2. Installing the control panel on the wall.
3. Assembly of expansion modules, optional, and accessories in the control panel.
4. Connections in the control panel.
5. Installation and connection of expansion modules, keypads, and readers.
6. Installation and connection of the detectors and alarm and signalling devices.
7. Power supply and acquisition of the devices.
8. Configuration of the system and its testing (procedure illustrated in the
Programming Manual
).
Nothing prohibits following a different procedure. For example, step 3 can be anticipated, assembling the expansion modules and
interfaces in the control panel in the workshop.
Even steps 7 and 8 can be completed beforehand, in the workshop, using temporary wiring, provided that the various devices are duly
identified with labels so as to be able to subsequently install them correctly on site.
Alternatively, the entire system can be programmed on a PC equipped with Hi-Connect software, saved, and later downloaded on site
from the PC or from a USB pen drive.

WIRING
Run all the connection cables necessary: bus, detectors, alarm and signalling devices, electric power supply, telephone connection,
eventual audio bus. Before running the cables, check their sizes.
IMPORTANT!
When installing the cables, keep the anti-intrusion system cables separate from the electrical system of the
apartment or office (separate ducts).
IMPORTANT!
In fulfilment of the electrical security standards, the wiring must be done carefully and all the connection cables
must be blocked in position near the terminal board to prevent the Safety Extra Low Voltage conductors (SELV) from making
contact with dangerous live wires (mains terminals).
Block the cables by fixing them with bands to the anchoring
points “
