1.1 The Devices
NOTE 5: (IMPORTANT!) If an expansion module with a power supply on board is connected,
the D2+ terminal MUST NOT be connected between the main bus and module.
All PCX peripherals; LCD keypads,
readers, expanders etc. are connected
via the D1-, D2+, D3 and D4 terminals.
This is an example of what a typical PCX
bus may look like.
General Principles:
NOTE 1: No alarm system cable should
be run with other cables carrying AC or
digital signals.
NOTE 2: The cables should be
protected by the use of grommets
where appropriate.
NOTE 3: For greater than 1000m range
a standard isolated RS485 repeaters
required.
NOTE 4: There MUST be a ferrite bead
fitted to one of the outgoing data lines
and secured inside the PCX case itself.
The Ferrite bead is supplied packaged
with a cable-tie which must be used to
secure it in the case and prevent it
shorting any electrical contacts (Ferrite
as shown).
There must also be a ferrite bead fitted
to the data wires of a PCX-EXT-BK/W (if
connected). The Ferrite bead is supplied
with the reader.

are separated into 4 addresses (each address enables 8 wireless inputs). It is possible to mix the wired
and wireless remote expanders. For more information please see page: 39.
*NOTE 2: If the PCX-PROX/INT (Internal Tag Reader) is programmed as an 'Arm/Disarm' device, 2

EN50131-6:2008 Rated Output
In accordance with EN50131-6:2008, the PCX 46 APP standby times and effective output currents depend on the
Security Grade of the system and how 230V mains missing fault is signalled to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
Power supplies are rated in accordance with the requirements of EN50131-6, which are related to the maximum
battery size that can be accommodated in the housing and vary according to the grade of the system in which
they are installed, as per the following table:

3.2 Important Installation Notes
Ensure wiring is done to the national wiring regulations in the country where the installation is
taking place. In the UK, this is BS 7671 Requirements for electrical installations; IET Wiring
Regulations (17th edition). If in doubt, consult a local qualified elect r ician.
Ensure that a readily accessible disconnect device incorporated in the premises installation wiring
shall be provided external to the equipment with a contact separation of at least 3,0mm and
connected as closely as possible to the supply. Example: Fused Spur Unit
When fixing external wires, ensure that means are provided in the installation to prevent the SELV
(Safety Electrical Low Voltage) or signal circuits from coming into contact with live parts of the
power supply circuit. Wires shall be fixed near their terminal blocks.
The end of stranded conductor shall not be consolidated by soft soldering at places where the
conductor is subjected to contact pressure. Example: Must not solder ends of wires which are to be
secured in detector and control panel terminal connectors.
On completion of wiring use tie-wraps to prevent any loose wires causing a safety hazard (material
of cables tie shall be rated at least HB or better).
Cables ties and hoses shall be separate for power supply cable and SELV (Safety Electrical Low
Voltage) wirings.
Size of protective bonding conductors: minimum section 1.5mm². Example: Electrical Earth wire
connections.

7.3.5 Connecting Door Monitoring and Door Alarm Monitoring to the External Tag Reader
Connecting Door Monitoring: Use the white and grey wire. The door monitor input needs to be
programmed as the first input number of the reader address (programmed as “Entry Delay”). If the
door contact is forced open without presenting a valid tag or pressing the push to exit button, then
the panel will go into an alarm. NOTE: The DEOL values must be 4K7, 2K2 as shown. This does not
affect the control panel DEOL values.
Connecting Door Alarm Monitoring: Use the purple wire. When the door monitor exceeds the door
open time or if the door is forced open then the alarm PGM will generate an alarm. The input at the
control panel should be programmed as “24 Hour” and the attribute programmed as “Normally Open”.
Please see the next page for the wiring diagrams.

8. The GPRS, LAN and PSTN Modems
Connecting the modems in the large box Connecting the modems in the small box
The PSTN modem should be located underneath the
PCX 46 APP PCB and the GPRS or LAN modems should
be located to the left of the PCX 46 APP PCB.
The PSTN modem should be located at the

Connecting the modems to the control panel
8.1 The PSTN Modem (Digi-1200)
The PSTN DIGI-1200 card is a fast modem and enables communication via PSTN
line using Contact ID and SIA Level 1/ Level 3 as well as remote uploading/
downloading.
A = Telephone line output for connection to analogue PSTN telephone line
B = Telephone line output for connection to analogue PSTN telephone line
A-1 = Telephone line output for connection to internal telecom equipmen t
B-1 = Telephone line output for connection to internal telecom equipment
Before making these connections, all power must be disconnected from the system.
NOTE: The ground terminal should ALWAYS be connected to earth in order to
increase the effectiveness of the transient voltage protection on the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTE: POWER DOWN THE PCX 46 BEFORE DISCONNECTING THE
MODEM.

8.2 The GPRS Modem (DIGI-GPRS)
The GPRS modem card (DIGI-GPRS) fits inside the PCX 46 APP. Besides
communications with the PyronixCloud and
HomeControl+ App, it has the
following operations:
Send Alarms to the ARC:
With the DIGI-GPRS it is possible to send alarm events the monitoring station
via Contact ID IP an SIA IP protocols.
Send SMS Alarms to the user:
With DIGI-GPRS it is possible to send SMS alarm messages to the user.
Programming the panel remotely via the GPRS network:
With the DIGI-GPRS is also possible to program the PCX 46 APP remotely. In
order to be able to use this feature it is necessary that the CSD data channel for
the SIM card used in the modem is activated. We recommend consulting with
the GPRS service providers for the availability of the CSD services on their
networks.
Fault Detection
Minimum time for the detection of a GPRS fault signal is 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
GPRS Status LEDs
Antenna
The supplied antenna will need to be connected to the PCX
46 APP GPRS and placed in a suitable area where the signal
strength is to its maximum.
IMPORTANT NOTE: REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY OF THE DIGI-GPRS MODEM FROM PANEL WHEN
INSTALLING OR CHANGING THE SIM. NOTE: CHECK THE SIM CARD CREDIT REGULARLY.
8.3 The LAN Modem (Digi-LAN)
The LAN modem card (DIGI-LAN) fits inside the PCX 46 APP. It allows
communications with the PyronixCloud and
HomeControl+ App via a standard
Ethernet internet connection cable and also has the following features:
Send Alarms to the ARC:
With the DIGI-LAN it is possible to send alarm events to the monitoring station
via Contact ID IP and SIA IP protocols.
Programming the panel remotely via secure network connection:
With the DIGI-LAN is also possible to program the PCX 46 APP remotely via a
secure internet connection and use of the Insite UDL software.
Status LEDs
The Digi-LAN features the industry standard Ethernet /LAN cable connection
status and activity LEDs.
Micro SD slot
