Getting Started
S E C T I O N 2
2.1Connecting the PC5100 Interface Module
Remove all power from the control panel before connecting
any module to the system.
Connect the PC5100 to the PC5010/5015 Keybus by inserting the red,
black, yellow and green Keybus wires into their corresponding terminals.
If the PC5100 is not located within the main cabinet, a PC5204
power supply must be used to power the module, as in the
diagram below.
After wiring is complete, add power back to the PC5010/PC5015.
The system will detect the new module and it will be supervised.
2.2Calculating Current Draw
Up to 32 addressable devices can be connected to the PC5100.
However, a maximum of 170mA of current can be used on the addressable loop. Calculate how much current your selection of devices will
require by completing the following table:

2.3Connecting 2-Wire AML Devices
The 2-wire addressable devices are connected to the STR+ and STRterminals on the PC5100. All devices can be home-run, t-tapped or
connected in a daisy chain. Please refer to the diagram below:
Max. Device
Current Draw
(in standby mode)
Total
Current
The wiring length of each addressable loop is restricted to the following
distances, depending on the amount of current required (see Section
2.2 “Calculating Current Draw”). Consult the wiring chart on the next
page.
For longer wire runs, you can split
the addressable devices onto two
or more loops from the STR terminals. For example, 32 AMB-300
detectors (2.5mA each) take 80mA
total. In one 18AWG wire run, this
would allow a maximum length of
720 feet (220 m). If you split the 32
devices into two wire runs of 16
detectors each, using 18AWG wire,
each wire run could be 1736 feet
(529 m) long. See the diagram on
the right.
3
G E T T I N G S T A R T E D
Not more than four
24AWG conductors
should be connected to a
single terminal as wire
bulk may cause improper
operation.
All devices must be enrolled as
individual zones on the system
by entering their serial numbers
(see section 3.2 “Enrolling
Devices”).
If any of the system keypads indicate a PC5100 module tamper,
or if any zones show as open, or show a zone fault, there may
be a short on the AML loop. The PC5100 module and zones will
not be restored until the short is corrected - remove power
from the system and re-check the zone wiring.
2.4Connecting the PC5100 Tamper
The PC5100 has a built-in tamper switch (SW1). If an external tamper
switch is being used, connect the switch according to the following
diagram.
If neither the built-in tamper nor an external switch is being
used, you must short the TAM and BLK terminals. If you do not
make this connection, a trouble condition will be indicated.

serial number sections. If you have entered data which was not
accepted, the section will not change from the previous
settings and device serial numbers will revert to [00000].
installer’s programming section.
occupy ([01] to [32]).
If you install AML devices on zones programmed as interior
and delay zone types, the delay zones must have a lower zone
number than the interior zones. For example, if zone number
[04] is a delay zone, interior zones that use AML devices can
only be installed on zones [05] or higher. If you program an
AML delay zone with a higher number than AML interior zones,
the system may detect a violation on the interior zone before
the delay zone is triggered, causing a false alarm.
4. Enter the device’s serial number. The entry
5. The device is now enrolled on the system. Record the serial number
and the assigned zone number in the programming worksheets in
the back of this manual.
6. Continue with steps 3 - 5 until you have enrolled all devices.
7. To exit press [#].
Once you have enrolled all the AML devices, you should
program the Panel Key. See section 3.7 for more information.
3.3Zone Programming
The AML devices will not work properly until you complete the zone and
partition programming. Select a zone definition for each used zone in
programming sections [001] – [004].
You must also enable the wireless/AML zone attribute for each zone
that has been assigned to an AML device. To do this, turn ON option 8
in the appropriate programming section (one or more of sections [101]
– [132]). See your PC5010 or PC5015
information.

3.5Removing Devices
Before removing devices from the system, you must delete their serial
numbers. To remove a 2-wire addressable device from the system,
perform the steps outlined in Section 3.2. Enter [00000] for the serial
number of the device you wish to remove.
You may need to power down the panel to clear troubles which
could be caused by deleted devices.
3.6Replacing Devices
In order to replace an AML device, you must first remove the old
device, as described in section 3.5, above. Then, enroll the new device
as described in section 3.2.
3.7Programming Section Descriptions
Sections [01] - [32]: Zone Serial Numbers
These sections are for enrolling the serial numbers of each 2-wire
addressable device on the system. See Section 3.2 for details.
Section [97]: Special Functions
Option 1: Walk test light ON. Turn on this option to enable the walk
test LED on all motion and glassbreak detectors. If a device is working,
its LED will turn on when it is tested.
This option does not turn on the walk test - only the walk test
LEDs. To walk test the system, follow the instructions in the
Walk Test section of the PC5010 or PC5015 Installation Manual.
• To test the motion detectors, create motion in front of each device. If
the LED turns on, the device is working.
• To test the glassbreak detectors, you will also need to turn on option
4 (Glassbreak Test ON). See the
sheet for testing instructions.
Once the walk test has been completed, re-enter Section [97] and turn
option [1] OFF.
Option 2: Smoke test on installer exit. Turn on this option to enable
the smoke test for all AML smoke detectors. The PC5100 will begin the
test after you exit from Installer’s Programming. The PC5100 tests each
smoke detector by:
• turning on the test output of each detector, and then checking for an
alarm state on each detector
AMA-100 Installation Instruction
6
P R O G R A M M I N G T H E P C 5 1 0 0
• turning off the test output and checking for an alarm restore state on
each detector.
If the PC5100 module does not receive an alarm signal from a smoke
detector, there will be a trouble on that zone when the test is over. The
trouble will only be restored when the next smoke test is performed and
the detector passes the test. If the PC5100 module does not receive a
restore signal from a smoke detector, there will be an alarm on that
zone when the smoke test is over. The alarm will be restored once the
zone has been restored.
After you turn on this test, do not enter Installer’s Programming for at
least 60 seconds. The PC5100 will turn off the option once the test is
complete.
See your
AMS-220 Installation Instruction
sheet for more information on
testing AML smoke detectors.
If a smoke alarm occurs during the smoke test, the zone will be
placed into the alarm state once the test has been completed.
Option 3: 24-hour smoke test.
If this option is turned on, the panel will
perform the smoke test as described in option 4, above, every day at
11:00 pm.
Option 4: Glassbreak test ON. Turn this option on to test AMA-100
devices with the AFT-100. After you have turned this option on, follow
the instructions in the Walk Test section of the PC5010 or PC5015
Installation Manual
. See the
AMA-100 Installation Instruction
sheet for
testing instructions.
The AMA-100 will not respnd to the AFT-100 unless this option is turned
on. Turn this option OFF when you are done testing the AMA-100 devices.
Section [98]: Panel Key
IMPORTANT: We strongly recommend that the panel key be
programmed to ensure the security of the system.
The Panel Key is a 2-digit code which acts as a security lock for the
addressable detectors. Once you have enrolled all addressable zones
you must change the panel key from the default “00” to another 2-digit
number (01-FF). When the panel key is changed, the panel will broadcast the new code to each addressable device.
Section [99]: Module Default
To return the module to its factory default settings, enter section [99],
then enter [55].
Before you can continue programming the PC5100 module,
you must exit (press [#] twice), and then re-enter installer’s
programming (enter [*][8][Installer’s Code]).
3.8Testing the System
To verify that each device is working as intended, you should perform a
walk test once all devices have been installed. To perform a walk test,
follow the instructions in section 3.7 (Option 1: Walk Test Light ON),
and in your PC5010 or PC5015
You should also perform a test of the smoke detectors as described in
section 3.7 (Option 2: Smoke test on installer exit).

A P P E N D I X A
Experience has shown that all hostile fires in family living units generate smoke to a
greater or lesser extent. Experiments using typical fires in family living units indicate that
detectable quantities of smoke precede detectable levels of heat in most cases. In
existing homes, the 1993 edition of NFPA 72 requires that a smoke detector be installed
outside each sleeping area and on each additional story of the family unit.
The following information is for general guidance only and it is recommended that the
1993 edition of NFPA 72 (National Fire Protection Association, One BatterymarchPark, Quincy,MA 02269) be consulted and that the smoke detector manufacturer’s
literature be used for detailed installation instructions.
It is recommended that additional smoke detectors beyond those required be installed
for increased protection. The added areas include: basement, bedrooms, dining rooms,
furnace room, utility room and hallways not protected by the required detectors.

Figure 4: Smoke Detector Mounting - ‘ Dead’
Air Space. The smoke from a fire generally rises
to the ceiling, spreads out across the ceiling
surface and begins to bank down from the ceiling. The corner where the ceiling and wall meet
is an air space into which the smoke may have
difficulty penetrating. In most fires, this “dead”
air space measures about 4 in. (0.1m) along the
ceiling from the corner and about 4 in. (0.1m)
down the wall as shown in Figure 4. Detectors
should not be placed in the ‘dead’ air space.
