Section 2: Installation

*These units draw current from the Corbus to power devices external to the module. This current must be added to the total
Corbus current. See manufacturer's specifications for the current draw of each device.

** For HSM2955 current draw refer to HSM2955 installation manual.

Line Loss

Voltage loss through wire resistance must be considered for all installations. To ensure proper operation, at least 12.5VDC
must be applied to all modules on the system (when AC is connected and the battery is fully charged). If less than 12.5VDC is
applied, system operation is adversely affected.

To correct the problem, try any or all of the following:

1. Connect a HSM2300/2204 power supply between the alarm controller and the module to provide additional power to the
Corbus.

2. Reduce the length of the Corbus run to the module.

3. Increase the gauge of wire.

Capacitance Limits

An increase in capacitance on the Corbus affects data transmission and causes the system to slow down. Capacitance
increases for every foot of wire added to the Corbus. The capacitance rating of the wire used will determine the maximum
length of the Corbus.

For example, 22-gauge, non-shielded, 4-conductor wire has a typical capacitance rating of 20 picofarads per foot (which is
20nF/1000’). For every 1000' of wire added – regardless of where it is run – the capacitance of the Corbus increases by
20nF.

The following table indicates the total wire distance allowed for the capacitance rating of the wire used:

Table 2-3 Wire Capacitance

Wire Capacitance per 1000’ (300m) Total Corbus Wire Length

15nF 5300’/1616m

2.4 Installing Modules

Remove all power from the system while connecting modules to the alarm controller.

2.4.1 Zone Expander

The main alarm controller has connection terminals for zones 1 to 8. Additional HSM2108 zone expanders may be added to
increase the number of zones on the system. Each zone expander consists of one group of 8 zones. At enrollment, the zone
expander is automatically assigned to the next available zone slot. Connect the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals to the
Corbus terminals on the alarm panel. Board current draw: 30mA.

Refer to the HSM2108 installation sheet for more information.

2.4.2 Output Expander

The HSM2208 module is used to add up to 8 low-current programmable outputs to the alarm system.

The 4-wire Corbus connection is used by the panel to communicate with the module. Connect the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN
terminals to the Corbus terminals on the alarm panel. Board current draw: 40mA.

Figure 2-5 HSM2208 Output Expander

2.4.3 Wireless Transceiver Module

The HSM2HOSTx 2-way wireless integration module provides communication between wireless devices and the alarm con­troller.

Connect the HSM2HOSTx to the 4-wire Corbus of the alarm controller according to the following diagram.

Figure 2-6 HSM2HOSTx Wiring Diagram

After you have completed the wiring, reconnect power to the security system. Board currant draw: 35mA

Section 2: Installation

2.4.4 Power Supply Wiring

The HSM2300/2204 power supply/high-current output module provides up to 1.0A of additional current and can be used to
add up to four programmable outputs (HSM2204 only) to the alarm system.

The 4-wire Corbus connection provides communication between the module and alarm panel. Connect the RED, BLK, YEL
and GRN terminals to the Corbus terminals on the alarm controller. If O1 is not used, connect to Aux with a 1K resistor. Board
current draw: 1.2A.

Figure 2-7 Power Supply Wiring

2.4.5 Keypad Wiring

To wire a keypad to the alarm controller, remove the keypad backplate (refer to the keypad installation sheet) and connect
the RED, BLK, YEL and GRN terminals to the corresponding terminals on the alarm controller.

Keypad Zone/PGM Wiring

Hardwired devices can be connected to hardwired keypads with inputs (zone) or outputs (PGM). This saves from running
wires back to the control panel for every device.

To connect a zone device to HS2LCD, HS2ICON, HS2LED and HS2TCHP keypads, run one wire to the P/Z terminal and the
other to B. For powered devices, use red and black to supply power to the device. Run the red wire to the R (positive) ter­minal and the black wire to the B (negative) terminal.

Keypad zones support Normally Closed Loops, Single End of Line and Double End of Line.

To connect the PGM output, run one wire to the P/Z terminal and the other to R.

- 20 -

Section 2: Installation

Figure 2-8 Keypad P/Z Terminals

Note: When using end of line supervision, connect the zone according to one of the configurations outlined in "Zone Wiring"

on page 21. End of line resistors must be placed on the device end of the loop, not at the keypad.

Assigning Keypad Zones

When using keypad zone inputs, each input used must be assigned a zone number in Installer Programming.

First, ensure that you have enrolled all installed keypads into the desired slots (See "[902] Add/Remove Modules" on page

117). Next, assign keypad zones by entering programming section [861]-[876], subsection 011 for keypads 1-16. Enter a 3­digit zone number for each of the keypad zones. This number must be programmed into the slot location that the keypad is
assigned to.

Note: If a keypad zone input is assigned to zone number 1 to 8, the corresponding zone cannot be used on the main control
panel.

Once the keypad zones are assigned, you must also program zone definitions and zone attributes. See "[001] Zone Types"
on page 64 and See "Zone Setup" on page 64.

2.4.6 HSM2955 Wiring

For wiring information refer to HSM2955 Installation manual #29008435xxx.

2.4.7 Alternate Communicator Wiring

See Alternate Communicator installation manual.

2.4.8 Zone Wiring

Power down the alarm controller and complete all zone wiring.

Zones can be wired to supervise normally open devices (e.g., smoke detectors) or normally closed devices (e.g., door con­tacts). The alarm panel can also be programmed for single end-of-line or double end-of-line resistors.

Zone programming is done using the following programming sections:

l [001] selects zone definition
l [013] Opt [1] for normally closed or EOL; Opt [2] for SEOL or DEOL
l [201 - 208] partition assignment.

Observe the following guidelines when wiring zones:

l For UL listed installations use SEOL or DEOL only
l Minimum 22 AWG wire, maximum 18 AWG
l Do not use shielded wire

l

Do not exceed 100Ω wire resistance. Refer to the following table:

- 21 -

Figures are based on maximum wiring resistance of 100

Ω.

Normally Closed

Connect hardwired devices to any Z terminal and any Com terminal. Wire normally closed devices in series.

Note: For UL Installations, do not use normally closed loops.

Figure 2-9 Normally Closed

The following table shows zone status under certain conditions for NC Loops:

Table 2-5 NC Loop Status

Loop Resistance Loop Status

0Ω(shorted wire, loop shorted) Secure

Infinite (broken wire, loop open) Violated

Single End-of-Line (SEOL) Resistor

When SEOL resistors are installed at the end of a zone loop, the alarm panel detects if the circuit is secure, open, or shorted.
The SEOL resistor must be installed at the end of the loop for proper supervision.

To enable SEOL supervision, program section [013], options [1] and [2] to OFF.

Note: This option should be selected if either normally closed or normally open detection devices or contacts are used.

- 22 -

Section 2: Installation

Double End of Line (DEOL) Resistors

When double end-of-line (DEOL) resistors are installed at the end of a zone loop, the second resistor enables the panel to
determine if the zone is in open, closed, tampered or faulted.

Note: Any zone programmed for Fire or 24-hr Supervisory must be wired with a SEOL resistor regardless of the type of zone
wiring supervision selected for the panel. If you change the zone supervision options from DEOL to SEOL or from NC to
DEOL, power the system down completely, then power it back up for correct operation.

To enable DEOL supervision, program section [013], option [1] to OFF and option [2] to ON.

Figure 2-11 DEOL Wiring

Note: If the DEOL supervision option is enabled, all hardwired zones must be wired for DEOL resistors, except for Fire and

24 Hour Supervisory zones. Do not use DEOL resistors for Fire zones or 24 Hour Supervisory zones.

Note: Do not wire Fire zones to keypad zone terminals if the DEOL supervision option is selected.

Note: This option can only be selected if N/C detection devices or contacts are used. Only one N/C contact can be con-

nected to each zone.

The following table shows zone status under certain conditions for DEOL:

Table 2-7 DEOL Loop Status

2.4.9 PGM Wiring

Min/max operating voltages for devices, sensors and modules is 9.5VDC - 14VDC.

PGMs switch to ground when activated from the alarm controller. Connect the positive side of the device to the AUX+ ter­minal and the negative side to a PGM terminal.

PGM 1, 3, 4 supply up to 50mA; PGM 2 supplies up to 300mA.

A relay is required for current levels greater than 50mA or 300mA. PGM2 can also be used for 2-wire smoke detectors, 24-hr
burglary input alarm.

Note: Use SEOL resistors on Fire zones only.

3.2 Using the Keypad

The PowerSeries Neo alarm panel is compatible with several different keypad types (see "Compatible Devices" on page 9);
However, all keypads have certain basic functionality in common.

3.2.1 Special Keys

Scroll symbols < > on keypads with LCD displays indicate that options can be viewed by pressing the scroll keys.
These keys can also be used to position the cursor.

The [*] key is similar in function to the “Enter” key on a personal computer. It is generally used to accept the existing pro­gramming option. It is also the first key entry for [*] commands and can be used to enter the letters A-F when in Installer Pro­gramming mode.

The [#] key is similar in function to the “ESC” (escape) key on a personal computer. It is generally used to exit the current pro­gramming section or to return to the previous one.

3.2.2 LED Indicators

Keypads have the following status lights that provide visual indication of basic system status:

Ready: Panel is ready to be armed.

Armed: Panel is armed.

Trouble:

AC Power: ON=AC present. OFF=AC absent.
