BOARD INSTALLATION  
 
 
 
Inside the can, several 2-holed insertion points have been constructed. This allows for either 
Diagram 1:
vertical or horizontal placement of the modules. Notice that each insertion point has two sizes 
of holes -a larger hole and a smaller hole. 
 
 The black plastic PCB guides are grooved on one edge where 
the PC board will be seated. The end with the half-moon protrusion fits into 
the larger hole. The smaller hole is for the screw. 
 
Diagram 2: Place the first black plastic PCB guide in the top insertion point, 
grooved edge downward. The half-moon protrusion will be in the large hole. 
It does not require force. Insert one of the provided screw into the smaller 
hole (from inside the can) to secure it in place. A screwdriver should reach 
through the notch that runs the length of the guide to tighten the screw. The 
second PBC guide should be positioned opposite the first (grooved edge up) 
and placed in the lower insertion point, using the same procedures 
described above. Once mounted, screw it in securely. 
 
Diagram 3: The PC Board should slide freely in the grooves of both guides.

TERMINAL DESCRIPTION  
 
TERMINAL DESCRIPTION 
R1 House Telephone Ring. 
R Telephone Ring. 
T Telephone Tip. 
T1 House Telephone Tip. 
EARTH Earth Ground. 
AC AC input. Connect to a 16.5Vac 40VA CE approved transformer. 
BELL + & BELL - If used as a siren output (default), the speaker rating should be 15 watt at 8 or 16 
ohm, or 30/40 watt at 4, 8, or 16 ohms. If voltage output is selected in location 37, this 
output becomes voltage output, 12VDC, 1 Amp maximum load.  
NOTE: A 3.3KW resistor may be required across the bell terminals when a 12 
VDC siren is used. If no resistor is used, you may experience voltage leakage 
into the siren, which will cause these devices to output a small signal. 
KP DATA Connect to the data terminal on the keypads and the expanders. Maximum wire run 
is 800 m with 2 mm² wire. The minimum wire sizes at 75, 150, 300 and 600 m are 
0.12, 0.33, 0.83 and 1.3 mm² respectively. These numbers are for one keypad at the 
end of the wire and a voltage drop of max. 2 Volts. When connecting more than one 
keypad to the end of the wire, a higher gauge wire will be required. The maximum 
number of devices (keypads + expanders) is 32. 
KP COM Connect to the Common terminal on the keypads and the expanders. 
KP POS Connect to the positive terminal on the keypads and the expanders. This terminal is 
limited to 1 Amp. Combined, this terminal and AUX PWR + are limited to 2 Amps total 
current. 
SMOKE+ Smoke detector power 12VDC, 1.5 Amps maximum (For those jurisdictions which 
allow the Priority zone to be used with smoke detectors.) 
COM Connect the negative wire of powered devices such as motion and smoke detectors. 
AUX PWR+ 
 
Connect the positive wire of all powered devices except smoke detectors and 
keypads. Individually, this terminal is limited to 1 Amp. Combined, this terminal and 
KP POS are limited to 2 Amps total current.  
ZONE 8 
 
Connect to one side of zone 8 loop. Connect the other side to the com. terminal. 
Open or short causes alarm. Zone 8 may be used for a two-wire smoke detector, 
using a 680W E.O.L. resistor. Connect one side to AUX PWR+ ONLY if using 2-wire 
smoke. Refer to wiring diagram, Program location 37, segment 6, option 1. 
COM Common (-) terminal for zones 7 & 8. (See the wiring diagram for examples) 
ZONE 7 
 
Connect to one side of zone 7 loop. Connect the other side to COM terminal. Open or 
short causes alarm. 
ZONE 6 - ZONE 1 
 
Connect as described for zones 7 & 8. Only zone 8 can be a two-wire zone. (See the 
wiring diagram for examples)  
Relay 2 NO/C Normally open dry contact rated 1 Amp at 30 Volts. 
COM Common used to ground any devices connected to relays 
Relay 1 NC/C Normally closed dry contact rated 1 Amp at 30 Volts. 
Note: These terminals 
can be set for 12Vdc. 
Close J12 for Aux1 and 
J13 for Aux2. 
J9 
Aux1 – Aux4 
Connect negative lead of low current device (relay, LED, …). Connect positive lead of 
device to AUX PWR+. Current is limited to 50mA when output is negative, 250uA 
when output is positive.
