MULTICOM 5 PLUS INSTALLER MANUAL

Multicom does not install or connect the products, which may be used in conjunction with other products not manufactured by Multicom; therefore Multicom cannot guarantee or warrant the performance of the security system. Multicom will not be responsible for circumstances resulting from the product’s inability to operate. Your security system should be considered as one of many tools available to reduce risk and/or damage caused by burglary, fire or other emergencies. Other tools include, but are not limited to, access controls, lock products, insurance coverage, fire prevention, fire extinguishing devices and sprinkler systems. We strongly recommend that your security alarm system be tested and maintained on a regular basis, and that you stay aware of new and improv ed Multicom products and developments. BEWARE: Dealers, installers and/or others selling, distributing or advertising Mu lticom product(s) are not authorised to modify this warranty or make any additional warranties that are binding on Multicom or distributors and its affiliates without the written approval from Multicom.

Multicom may change the terms of its limited warranty, without notice, at its discretion.

WARNING: Due to limitations of Alarm Systems, Multicom canno t guarantee the performance of the security system and shall not be responsible for circumstanc es resulting from the product's inability to operate. It must be understood that while your Multicom product is highly advanced and secure, it only forms part of your total security installation and it does not offer any guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency. This is due to a number of reasons, including, but not limited to, inadequate or improper installation /positioning, sensor limitations, battery performance, wireless signal interruption, inadequate maintenance, or the potential for communication mediums to be compromised or circumvented. As a result, Multicom does not represent that the alarm system will prevent personal injury or property damage, or in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. Your security system should therefore be considered as one of many tools available to reduce risk and/or damage of burglary, fire or other emergencies; such other tools include, but are not limited to insurance coverage, fire prevention and extinguisher devices, and sprinkler systems. We also strongly recommend you to regularly maintain your security systems an d stay aware of new and improved Multicom products and developments. For those customers who are using a security system connected to a non-traditional telephone system, such as "Voice Over Internet Protocol" (VoIP) that converts the voice signal from your telephone to a digital signal travelling over the Internet, you should be aware that your alarm system may not function as effectively as with traditional telephone systems. For example, if your VoIP equipment has no battery back-up, during a power failure your system's ability to transmit signals to the central station may be compromised. Or, if your VoIP connection becomes disabled, your telephone line monitoring feature may also be compromised. Other concerns would include, without limitation, Internet co nnection failures, which may be more frequent than regular telephone line outages. We therefore strongly recommend that you discuss these and other limitations involved with operating an alarm s ystem on a VoIP or other non-traditional telephone system with yo ur installation company. They shoul d be able to offer or recommend measures to reduce the risks involved and give you a better understanding. The Multicom range of communication products are designed to detect all communication failures within the network and are designed to work effectively around traditional telephone systems in addition to Non-Traditional Telephony such as VoIP, GPRS, 3G and new communication mediums including the (NBN) National Broadband Network.

MULTICOM 5 PLUS INSTALLER MANUAL

Quick Start Guide

The following gives an overview of the basic installation steps. Further details on programming options and methods can be found in the proceeding sections of the manual.

1. Connect the three antennas to the panel.

1. RF Automation Transmitter – Smallest Antenna

2. GSM – Largest Antenna

3. Bluetooth - Medium Antenna

STEP 2 & 3 IMPORTANT FOR PANEL PLACEMENT

2. Connect the battery terminal block to the corresponding pins on the PCB. Place the battery on the floor of the panel and connect the positive (red) and negative (black) battery leads to the corresponding terminals on the battery.

3. Test the GSM signal in the desired mounting location by holding it against the wall and observing the signal strength. The signal must be 2 bars or greater for operation. Once test is complete remove the battery terminal block and leave disconnecte d for the following steps.

4. Mount the panel to the desired location. Use the provided mounting template to locate screw holes and establish antenna clearance.

Page 6

MULTICOM 5 PLUS INSTALLER MANUAL

5. Connect the PANEL socket directly to the alarm panel’s dialler output using an RJ12 cable. If PSTN will be used as a communication path, connect the PSTN socket to a standard PSTN phone outlet.

Note: If you are NOT using PSTN, you must disable the PSTN fault detection (option 39 =

00110000).

6. Connect the Ethernet to the local network, if Ethernet will be used as a communication path, using a patch cable. If the local network does not use a DHCP server, you will need to organise the static IP settings (IP address for Multicom, Subnet Mask and Gateway). Consult the site IT Administrator for further details.

See programming options (page 15) 55 to 59 to enable and configure the Multicom to suit your network.

7. Connect the local Internet modem/router into the provided Multicom Inteliswitch*, if Ethernet will be

used as a communication path. This allows the Multicom to remotely reset network devices during prolonged network outages in an attempt to recover network connectivity. To confirm operation press the AUX button on the MC5P and ensure the Inteliswitch power cycles.

The Inteliswitch will come pre-learnt to your panel but if you have issues or wan t to control more Inteliswitch device s from your panel please consult Pairing the Multicom Inteliswitch (Page 11).

8. Interconnect Alarm Panel Relay O utput Relay/COM: To allow immediate notification of

communication failure to the control room, program one of the alarm panel’s relay outputs to trigger immediately on PSTN/CO MM fail. Connect the ala rm panel’s relay output to one of the Multicom’s Zone Inputs then ensure that the zone is enabled. See Option 30.

If the Mu lticom is b ehind a firewall, it is impor tant to ensure inbound/ou tbound UDP ports 5000 to 5010 are open.

Note: Steps 8 & 9 are required to meet Class 4 and up of the Australian Sta ndard.

There are four mapping options for the 2 on board relays:

1. Not Mapped - The relays are able to be remotely controlled via SMS, Etherne t, GPRS, Serial, or Bluetooth.

2. Communications – Communications has not worked for the programmed period of time. e.g. If the Multicom is configured to report a PSTN line failure after 60 seconds,

the relay will activate 60 seconds after the PSTN is removed, the Multicom will also generate an alarm message for PSTN failure. The options for this path are GPRS, Ethernet and PSTN.

3. External Zone / Tamper - The output will trigger while the Tam per is open, or, any of the on board zones are not sealed with the appropriate EOLR.

4. Power Fault (AC or battery failure) - The output will trigger if after the p rogrammed AC / Battery fault time.

Note: Each of the above can be individually d isabled in the configuration.

communication failure, ensure that one of the MC5P relays is programmed to “COMM’s fail event” (Rela y 1 is programmed to this by default). Connect the Multicom’s relay output to one of the Alarm Panel’s Zone Inputs. It is recommended that the zone on the a larm panel be a 24 hour audible input. See Option 38.

Defaults; Relay 1 is triggered by communication failures, Relay 2 is triggered when AC/Batt or Zone alarms occur and remains active until the fault condition is cleared.

10. Panel Arm/Disarm or Output Control (Recommended Option) Relays 2 to 4 can be configured to arm/disarm the alarm panel or control other devices such as gates (open & close) etc. This may be used to arm/disarm from Multicom smartphone apps. See Option 38.

11. Re-connect the AC power pack to the AC terminal block as shown. Connect the AC and battery terminal block to the corresponding pins on the PCB. Connect the AC plug pack to a power outlet and confirm that the Multicom powers up and LEDs light up.

YOUR MULTICOM MUST HAVE A PERMANENT EARTH CONNECTION!

12. Commission the panel by completing the commissioning screen in the TechTools App or calling the Activations Centre on 1300 603 704. For commissioning via phone please have the required information ready and notify the operator that the Multicom panel (MC5P) is connected and ready for commissioning.

13. Test the installation for correct communications as required.

Example: If GPRS is the primary path, activate the alarm panel and ensure the alarm events are received at the monitoring station. If PSTN is primary, remove the PSTN connection, activate the alarm and ensure the event is received at the monitoring station.
