system and an intrusion alarm system. When using the com­mercial fire panel as both a fire warning and intrusion alarm
system, follow the guidelines below:

All aspects of fire and burglary applications must occur in



separate partitions/areas.

 All onboard panel inputs and outputs must be used only

for fire or burglary applications. Do not mix fire and bur­glary applications.

 Bus 1 and Bus 2 headers must be used only for fire or bur-

glary applications. Do not mix fire and burglary applica­tions on inputs and outputs of any bus device.

 Some installations may require configurations dictated by

city/state codes, insurance, or Underwriter’s Laboratories
(UL). See “UL Listed Installations” for various UL com­ponent and configuration listings.

Planning the Installation

This section describes system capabilities to help you get
familiar with the system. “Appendix A” provides planning
sheets with tables that let you record the hardware and pro­gramming configuration of the system. Fill in all necessary
information ahead of time to help prepare for the installa­tion, and retain for your records.

Note

It is recommended that no more than 250 wireless fire
sensors (60-849-01-95 or 60-917-95 only) and a maxi­mum of 132 of all other wireless sensors be used on 250
zone Advent systems.
If 2 Advent systems are in close proximity the total number
of wireless sensors for all systems must not exceed 250
wireless fire sensors or 132 of all other sensors.

Determining the Panel Location

Before permanently mounting the panel, determine the
panel location using the following guidelines:



Centrally locate the panel in relation to detection devices
whenever possible to help reduce wire run lengths and
labor.

 Avoid running wires parallel with electrical wiring, or fix-

tures such as fluorescent lighting, to prevent wire runs
from picking up electrical noise.

 Locate the panel where the temperature will not exceed

120°F (49°C) or fall below 32°F (0°C).

 If optional wireless transceiver module is used, avoid

locations near excessive metal such as HVAC ducts, foil
wallpaper, gas/water pipes, and electrical wiring.

 Mount the panel at a comfortable working height (about

45 to 55 inches from the floor to the bottom of the panel,
as shown in Figure 2).

 Allow 6.5-inches to the right (or left) of the panel for

wiring, phone jack, and optional module mounting.

 Allow at least 24-inches in front of the panel for access to

panel components.

Mounting the Panel

Use the following procedure to mount the panel to the wall
or wall studs using the supplied mounting hardware and the
panel mounting holes shown in Figure 3.

Make sure you are free of static electricity whenever you
work on the panel with the cover open. To discharge any
static, first touch the metal panel chassis, then stay in
contact with the chassis when touching the circuit board.
Using an approved grounding strap is recommended.

1. Open the panel door and remove the panel circuit board, accessory kit, and packing material.

2. Carefully remove the circuit board from the packing and put it in a safe static free location.

3. Remove the desired panel wiring knockouts.

4. Mount the optional key lock (if used) into the panel door.

5. Place the enclosure in position against the wall. Make sure enclosure is level and mark the locations of the two mounting holes and two keyhole mounting holes. Remember to leave room near the enclosure for any optional modules.

6. Use the appropriate mounting anchors and screws for your application. Partially insert screws into the two anchors at the two top keyhole locations, and then hang the panel chassis on the two screws.

7. Recheck level, insert the two lower screws, and then tighten all four mounting screws.

8. Route all wires to the panel.

Connecting SuperBus 2000 Modules and Touchpads

Up to 31 SuperBus 2000 devices (combinations of touch­pads and modules) can be used on each of the two SuperBus
connectors for a total of up to 62 devices. These modules
connect to the panel via a 4-wire digital data bus and may
be located inside, next to, or away from the panel cabinet
(see Figure 5). The panel cabinet may accommodate up to:

3 SuperBus 2000 HIM/HOM modules,


 1 Voice Siren 25/70 Volt Converter Card,
 and 2 AC Power Transformers.

To wire SuperBus 2000 devices to the SuperBus connectors
you must use the Panel SuperBus Wiring Harnesses (49-

462) included with the accessory kit. You must splice all
SuperBus 2000 module and touchpad wiring to the wires on
these harnesses. Both SuperBus connectors are the same,
and any combination of SuperBus devices (up to 31) may
be wired to either connector. When all of the SuperBus
2000 devices are wired, plug each wiring harness into a
SuperBus connector.

Note

The +12 VDC (RED) lead on the SuperBus wiring harness
is current limited to 650 mA. If the total current draw for all
devices on either SuperBus connector exceeds 650 mA,
another power source must be used—such as Terminal 4
(+12V) or an external + 12V power supply.

Installing an RJ-31X Phone Jack (13-081)

Use the following guidelines when installing an RJ-31X
phone jack for system control by phone and central station
monitoring.



Locate the RJ-31X jack (CA-38A in Canada) no further
than five feet from the panel.

 The panel must be connected to a standard analog (loop-

start) phone line, that provides around 48 volts DC (on­hook or idle).

Note

The panel cannot be used on a digital or PBX phone line.
These systems are designed for digital type devices only,
operating anywhere from 5 volts DC and up. The panel
uses an analog modem and does not have a digital con­verter, adapter, or interface to operate through such sys­tems.

 For full line seizure, install an RJ-31X phone jack on the

premises phone line so the panel is ahead of all phones
and other devices on the line. This allows the panel to take
control of the phone line when an alarm occurs, even if the
phone is in use or off-hook.

 If an analog line is not available, contact your customer’s

telecommunications specialist and tell him/her you need
an analog line off the phone switch (PBX mainframe) or a
1FB (standard business line).

Note

Connecting the panel to an analog line off the phone
switch places the panel ahead of the phone system, pre-

venting panel access from phones on the premises. How­ever, the panel can still be accessed from off-site phones.

To connect a phone line to the panel using an RJ-31X/CA-38A jack:

1. Run a 4-conductor cable from the TELCO protector block to the jack location (see Figure 18).

2. Connect one end of the cable to the jack.

3. At the TELCO protector block, remove the premises phone lines (lines from phone jacks on premises) from the block and splice them to the black and white (or yellow) wires of the 4-conductor cable.

4. Connect the green and red wires from the 4-conductor
cable to the A (+) and B (-) posts on the block (see Fig­ure 18).

5. If desired, add phone jack tamper by splicing the black and yellow phone jack wires to the panel terminals and adding a 2.0K ohm EOL resistor between the blue and orange phone jack terminals as shown in Figure 18.

6. Check the phones on the premises for dial tone and the ability to dial out and make phone calls. If phones do not work correctly, check all wiring and correct where necessary. Proceed to “Troubleshooting” on page 55 if problems persist.

To reorient a wireless sensor:

1. Rotate the sensor and test for improved sensor commu­nication at 90 and 180 degrees from the original posi­tion.

2. If poor communication persists, relocate the sensor as described below.

To relocate a wireless sensor:

1. Test the sensor a few inches from the original position.

2. Move the sensor from the original position and retest until an acceptable location is found.

3. Mount the sensor in the new location.

4. If no location is acceptable, replace the sensor as described below.

To replace a wireless sensor:

1. Test a known good sensor at the same location.

2. If the transmission beeps remain below the minimum level, avoid mounting a sensor at that location.

3. If the replacement sensor functions, contact ITI for repair or replacement of the problem sensor.

To add RF transceiver(s):

Install and wire the RF transceiver module according to the
Installation Instructions included with the module and the
information provided on page 10 of this manual. You can
have up to 5 RF transceivers on an Advent Fire panel.

Testing Outputs and Sirens

All outputs (onboard, SnapCard, output module, and X10)
should be tested to verify configuration programming.

If a Wireless Sensor Fails the Zone/Sensor Test

If system does not beep when a sensor is tripped, place an
ITI RF Sniffer (60-401) test tool near the wireless sensor
when tripping to verify that the sensor is transmitting. Con­stant beeps from the RF Sniffer indicate a runaway (faulty)
wireless sensor. Remove the sensor battery(s) and replace
the sensor.

If possible, locate wireless sensors within 500 feet of the
panel. While a transmitter may have a range of one mile or
more out in the open, the environment at the installation site
can have a significant effect on transmitter range.

Sometimes a change in sensor location can help overcome
adverse wireless conditions.

To improve wireless sensor communication, you can

1. Check that the light or device is working and the power switch is on.

2. Confirm light or device operation at working outlet.

3. Check that the lights or devices are plugged into X-10 Modules and that the X-10 Modules are plugged into outlets that are not controlled by a switch. If necessary, relocate modules to nonswitched outlets.

4. Check that the HOUSE dial on the X-10 Modules match the house code programmed into the panel.

5. Check for correct X-10 module unit settings and panel programming.

Determining Maximum Panel Wire Length

Example:

Using 22 gauge wire to connect the following devices on
one wire run (length of cable):

Device Current Draw

(see note)

1- Hardwire 2-Line Alpha Touchpad = 120 mA
1- RF Transceiver Module = 50 mA
1-8Z Hardwire Input Module = 35 mA

Total Device Current Draw = 205 mA

Find the total device current draw in the table and match the
wire type used. In this example, the maximum recom­mended wire length is about 154 feet. For longer lengths,
use a larger gauge wire.

Note

For self- or remotely-powered devices, the maximum rec­ommended wire length is 4,000 feet using 22 gauge or
larger wire.

sensors, perimeter sensors such as those protecting exterior doors and windows
cause an alarm in the HOME/PERIMETER level.

Level 3 FULL The user is away and requires complete protection. 24-hour sensors, perimeter

sensors, and interior sensors cause an alarm in the AWAY/FULL level.

Level 4 NIGHT The user is on-site and perimeter and 24-hour sensors are active. Since users are not

moving around, Interior sensors except those in night groups are also active.
