Reference & Installation Manual
1.1 Features
• 32 zones (any of which can be wireless or keypad zones).
• 32 users and 32 remote controls (one per user).
• In-field upgrades: Update the panel’s firmware by connecting it to a PC via a 307USB Interface and then using the Winload
software (V2.80 or higher).
• Menu-driven programming for the Installer, Master, and Maintenance codes. This enables you to program the panel through a
simple and easy to use interface, without the use of section numbers.
• Multiple telephone numbers for event reporting: Three for the monitoring station, five for personal dialing and one for pager
reporting. Up to five persons can now be contacted by the panel in case of alarm.
• Calendar with daylight savings time (enable section [730], option [1] and choose section [731] to put in the Country Code):
Y o u can now select 1 out of 18 different country groups each with its own preprogrammed local daylight savings time. You can
also customize the daylight saving time by programming sections [732] and [733].
• New Sleep arming method: Similar to Stay arming, Sleep arming allows users to remain in a protected area, but provides a
higher level of protection. For example, in a two-story house, the perimeter is protected with Stay arming. With Sleep arming,
the perimeter as well as the main floor is protected (motion detectors, etc.), allowing you to roam the second floor and sleeping
quarters.
• Connect up to 15 hardwire keypads on the 4-wire communication bus.
• Push button power reset: Convenient reset button saves time when a momentary powerdown is required as opposed to having
to physically disconnect the control panel’s power cables. Press and hold the RESET switch for five seconds. The STATUS
LED will start flashing. Within 2 seconds of this flashing, press the reset switch again. The panel will reset to default and
restart. Also, you can reset all programmable sections to factory default values in section [950].
• Available in 433MHz or 868MHz.
• Supports Memory Key (PMC-4 and PMC5).
• RF jamming supervision (section [700], option [5]): The control panel will report a trouble if the RF signal is being jammed.
• Supports SIA reporting format to central station.

2.1 Location and Mounting
UL Warning:
A 12Vdc / 7Ah battery is required to comply
with UL fire requirements.
Caution:
Disconnect battery before replacing the fuse.
Improper connection of the
transformer may result in
damage to the system.
Rechargeable Battery
UL/ULC - 12Vdc / 4Ah or 7Ah
Partial PCB view
Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon mounting studs into the back of the cabinet. Pull all cables into the cabinet
and prepare them for connection before mounting the circuit board into the back of the cabinet. Select a centralized installation
site on the main floor that isn't easily accessible to intruders and leave at least 5cm (2in) around the panel box to permit adequate
ventilation and heat dissipation. The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source, ground connection and telephone
line connection. Avoid installation near or in the path of strong RF fields (i.e. neon lights, computers), on or near metal objects,
circuit breaker boxes, air conditioners and heater ducts since they may cause interference and reduce sensitivity. Avoid installing
the control panel in the basement.
Do not cut, bend or alter the antennas and ensure that electrical wires do not cross over the antennae as these
may affect the signal reception.
2.2 Earth Ground
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control panel to the metallic enclosure and cold water pipe or grounding
rod as per local electrical codes.
For maximum lightning protection, use separate ea rth grounds for the zone and dialer grounds as shown in the
PCB Layouts for each respective panel. For UL installations, the metallic enclosure must be grounded to the
cold water pipe.
2.3 AC Power
Do not use any switch-controlled outlets to power the transformer. Connect the transformer as shown in Figure 1 on page 3. Use
Table 1 to determine the required transformer.
Transformer: Amseco XP-1620 16VAC 20VA
DC Power Supply rated at: 1.1A 1.5A
Auxiliary Supply can provide a maximum of: typ: 600mA, max: 700mA typ: 600mA, max: 700mA
Acceptable Battery Charge Currents 350mA 350mA/700mA
Part 2: Installation
Table 1: Transformer Requirements Table
(not verified by UL)
UL: Universal UB1640W
16.5VAC 40VA
Do not exceed 200mA for UL installations
2.4 Backup Battery
To provide power during a power loss, connect a 12Vdc 4Ah rechargeable acid/lead or gel cell backup battery as shown in Figure 1
below. Use a 7Ah battery to comply with UL fire requirement s. Connect the backup battery after ap plying AC power. When installing,
verify proper polarity as reversed connections will blow the battery fuse.
2.4.1 Battery Test
If the battery is disconnected or if the battery fuse is blown, a No/Low Battery failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display
(see Trouble Display on page 60). This trouble will also appear if the battery’s capacity is too low or if the voltage drops to 10.5V
or lower while the control panel is running on the backup battery. At 8.5V or lower, the panel shuts down and all outputs close.

AUX Power
Refer to transformer requirements on page 3
for Aux. Power Output. To connect additional
wiring to auxiliary power, use the red (+) and
black (-) keypad connectors. Auxiliary power
will shut down if current exceeds 1.1A. If the
auxiliary output is overloaded and is shut down,
you must disconnect all loads from the output
for at least 10 seconds before reconnecting any
load back to the auxiliary output.
This equipment must be installed and
maintained by qualified service
personnel only.
For UL and C-UL warnings, refer to the
UL and C-UL Warnings section at the
back of the Reference & Installation
Manual.
The sum of the current drawn from
the BELL and AUX must be limited
to 1.3A (40VA transformer strongly
recommended). Exceeding this
limit will overload the panel power
supply and lead to complete
system shutdown.

2.11 Auxiliary Power Terminals
The auxiliary power supply terminals can be used to power motion detectors, keypads and other modules or accessories in the
security system. A fuseless circuit protects the power supply against current overload and automatically shuts down if the current
exceeds 1.1A. If this occurs, the Maximum Auxiliary Current failure will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble
Display on page 60). Therefore, the combined current consumption of devices connected to the auxiliary power supply should not
exceed 700mA. If the auxiliary output is overloade d and is shut down, you must disconnect all loads from the output for at least
10 seconds before reconnecting any load back to the auxiliary output.
2.12 Telephone Line Connection
In order to report system events to the monitoring station, you must connect the incoming telephone company wires into the TIP
and RING connections of the control panel and then run the wires from T1 and R1 to the telephone or telephone system as
shown in PCB Layouts for each respective panel.
2.13 Bell Output Connection
The BELL+ and BELL- terminals power bells, sirens and other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm.
The bell output supplies 12Vdc upon alarm and can support one 30-watt or two 20-watt sirens. The bell output uses a fuseless
circuit and will automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A. When this occurs the Maximum Bell Current failure will only
appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble Display on page 60) during an alarm. If the load on the BELL terminals
returns to normal, the control panel will re-instate power to the BELL terminals during the next alarm. When connecting sirens,
please verify correct polarity. Connect the positive lead to the BELL+ terminal and the negative lead to the BELL- terminal of the
control panel as shown in PCB Layouts for each respective panel.
If the BELL output is not being used, the Bell Disconnected failure will remain in the keypad’s trouble display
(see Trouble Display on page 60). To avoid this connect a 1KΩ resistor across the BELL terminals.
For connection of a self-contained bell/siren, see PCB Layouts for each respective panel.
2.14 Programmable Output Connections
When a specific event occurs in the system, a PGM can reset smoke detectors, activate strobe lights, open/close garage doors
and much more.
2.14.1 PGMs
The control panels include two/four on-board programmable outputs (PGMs). For details on how to program PGMs,
see Programmable Outputs on page 53. PGM1 and PGM2 can support up to 150mA. The PGMs are limited by the
power source being used. If powered by:
• The
• An external power supply. If using an external power supply, the current consumption cannot exceed 150mA for
AUX terminals. The current consumption of the AUX terminals cannot exceed 700mA. Therefo r e, whatever
devices are connected to the AUX terminals (i.e. modules and PGMs) cannot exceed 700mA combined. Fo r
example, if there are six modules connected to the AUX terminals that are using 600mA and you wish to power the
PGM using the
PGM1 and PGM2. If the external power supply’s current consumption limit is less than that of the PGM it is
connected to, than the current consumption will not exceed the power supply’s current limit.
UL Note: The AUX terminals cannot exceed 200mA for UL installations.
AUX terminals, the PGM’s current consumption cannot exceed 100mA.

2.15 Single Zone Inputs
Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the control panel's zone input terminals. Figure 3
demonstrates single zone input terminal connections recognized by the panel. Once connected, the associated zone's
parameters must be defined.

2.16 Advanced Technology Zone (ATZ) Connections
The ATZ feature is a software oriented feature that enables two detection devices to be installed per hardwired input terminal.
Each detection device has its own zone, displays its zone status on the keypad and sends its own alarm codes. Fire zones
cannot be doubled.

13 Reference & Installation Manual
2.17 Fire Circuits
When a zone is programmed as a fire zone, the zone becomes normally open and requires an EOL resistor. If a line short occurs
or if the smoke detector becomes active, whether the system is armed or disarmed, the control panel will generate an alarm. If a
trouble occurs on a fire zone, the Fire Loop Trouble will appear in the keypad’s trouble display (see Trouble Display on page 60)
and the control panel can transmit the Fire Loop Trouble report, if programmed, in section [866].
Figure 5: Fire Circuits
2.17.1 4-Wire and 2-Wire Installation:
For 4-wire installation, program the Activation Event so that the smoke detectors can be reset by pressing the [CLEAR]
ENTER] keys for three seconds. See Event Group # 6 in the Event Description list in the programming guide.
+ [
For 2-wire smoke detector installation, connect the 2-wire smoke detectors. If a line short occurs or the smoke detector
activates, whether the system is disarmed, the control panel will generate an alarm. If the line is open, the “Zone Fault”
trouble indication appears on the trouble display and the report code is sent to the monitoring station, if programmed.
To reset 2-wire smoke detectors, press the [
CLEAR] + [ENTER] keys for three seconds.
