Part 2: Installation
2.1
Location and Mounting
Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon mounting studs into the back of the cabinet. Pull all cables into the cabinet
and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board into the back of the cabinet. Select a centralized installation
site on the main floor that isn't easily accessible to intruders and leave at least 5cm (2in) around the panel box to permit adequate
ventilation and heat dissipation. The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground connection and telephone
line connection. Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects,
circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may cause interference and reduce sensitivity. Avoid installing
the control panel in the basement.
IMPORTANT: To comply to EN 50131 requirements, unit must be installed in an
approved tamper enclosure.
Do not cut, bend or alter the antennas and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these
may affect the signal reception.
2.2
EN 50131 Compliancy
In order to meet with EN 50131 compliancy you will require the following:
• EN Metal Box
• Tamper Antenna
• Tamper Kit (TK278)
• Firmware version 4.96
2.3
Earth Ground
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control panel to the metallic enclosure and cold water pipe or grounding
rod as per local electrical codes.
For maximum lightning protection, use separate earth grounds for the zone and dialer grounds as shown in the
PCB Layouts for each respective panel. For UL installations, the metallic enclosure must be grounded to the
cold water pipe.
2.4
AC Power
Do not use any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer. Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 1 on page 2. Use
Table 1 to determine the required transformer.
2.5
Backup Battery
To provide power during a power loss, connect a 12Vdc 4Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery as shown in Figure 1
below. Use a 7Ah battery to comply with UL fire requirements. Connect the backup battery after applying AC power. When installing,
verify proper polarity as reversed connections will blow the battery fuse.
2.5.1
Battery Test
If the battery is disconnected or if the battery fuse is blown, a No/Low Battery failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display
(see
Trouble Display
on page 60). This trouble will also appear if the battery’s capacity is too low or if the voltage drops to 10.5V
or lower while the control panel is running on the backup battery. At 8.5V or lower, the panel shuts down and all outputs close.
