Introduction
1. Introduction
1.1 General
The HLX-24 panel by Rosslare is the perfect wireless security system for
intrusion protection of the home, or small office providing security monitoring
and VIP Voice messaging.
Users receive the latest RF technology in a wide selection of advanced wireless
sensors and remotes, and benefit from smooth and easy operation of a large
number of security and communication options.
The HLX-24 panel is easy to install and set up via local programming and via
direct or modem connection to a PC running the HLX-24 PC Software.
The panel has two full split reporting features for communicating to central
station for Contact ID and voice enabled event reporting and vocal
communications.
VIP features include option to provide status to the user via telephone and an
option to activate arming options by using DTMF phone communication for up
to three destinations by calling the user when there is an issue.
In addition to the regular version of the HLX-24 control panel, the HLX-24IP
version allows users to control and monitor the status of the panel by using the
HLX-24 mobile application, HomeLogiX™APP from a smartphone. For more

4.1 Unpacking the Equipment
The contents of your package are listed below. First, make sure that all the
items in the kit have been included. If you find that any item is missing, contact
your dealer immediately.
4.1.1 HLX-24 Package Content
HLX-24 unit
Four 1800 mAh AA batteries

4.2 Supply Power to the Unit
It is easier to enroll the ID codes of the transmitting devices to the system
before installation. Power the HLX-24 system using the external power
transformer or from the backup batteries.
To initiate battery power, connect the batteries, connect external power
(transformer), and then disconnect the power to initiate battery power
operation.
4.3 Planning and Programming
Register the location of each detector in the tables provided in Appendix C and D. Mark the transmitters and detectors accordingly.
To program the system, refer to Chapter 5.
To mount the HLX-24 unit, refer to Section 4.7.

4.5 Connecting the AC Transformer
Complete all the wiring before plugging the transformer in to the AC outlet.
1. Attach the transformer and power up the system.
The display shows the HLX-24 logo and the current version.
2. Plug in the transformer.
The power LED on the control panel should light up.
4.6 Connecting to a PC
The control panel can be equipped with an optional MD-62 adaptor for serial
data interchange with a computer.
4.7 Mounting the Back Plate
4.7.1 General
It is important to mount the back plate first before connecting any of
to the unit.
To complete the installation without exposed wires, all the wiring should be
done through the wall. The wiring to the back plate can be done without
having exposed wires by installing the panel on a standard electrical box or
making a hole in the wall for the wiring (Figure 4).
Figure 4: Back Plate Wiring
20 HLX-24 Hardware Installation and Programming Manual
Installation
When drilling the hole for the wires, it is recommended to drill the hole in the
marked out areas (Figure 5).
Figure 5: Back Plate Mounting Holes
4.7.2 Required Space
The required space on the wall for the panel is (L) x (H). The hole size for the
wires is 2 x 5 cm (0.8 x 2 in.). This is to be drilled according to the openings on
the back plate.
The optimum viewing angle of the LCD is achieved when the panel is mounted
above the eye level of the user.
HLX-24 Hardware Installation and Programming Manual 21
Installation
To dismount the control panel:
To replace the backup batteries:
4.8 Dismounting the Control Panel
1. Release HLX-24 from the mounted back plate by unscrewing the bottom
screws and unlocking the locking hooks on the top of the back plate by
lifting them up and out of the recesses on top of the panel.
2. Pull the top of the panel away from the wall to disconnect the connector
to the back plate and then remove the panel from the lower posts of the
back plate.
4.9 Replacing the Backup Batteries
1. Dismount the panel.
2. Remove the cover of the battery compartment (Figure 6).
Figure 6: Backup Batteries
3. Replace the batteries.
4. Replace the cover.
Do not mix between different rechargeable batteries type and different
charging levels.

Programming the HLX-24
5. Programming the HLX-24
We recommend that you program the HLX-24 before installing it. The system
must be connected to the AC power supply for programming; you may also
connect the backup battery at this time.
HLX-24 is provided with two default codes:
Default Installer code: 8888 – Enables you to program HLX-24
Default Master code: 1234 – Enables you to change the Master code and
modify the User and Master options
We recommend that you change the Master and Installer codes after first time
use.

Interior Follow – A non-entry/exit zone, typically an interior zone
located on an entry/exit path, which is treated as an entry/exit
zone during an Entry Delay or Exit Time. An opening in this zone
is alarmed only after the exit or entry time has passed.
Perimeter – Zone is armed both in Arm Home and Arm Away
modes
Description: Select one of 38 fixed descriptions or one of five
editable custom descriptions. HLX-24 enables you to specify five
custom zones (see Section 6.7.3).
For your convenience and better control of the installation, use the
tables provided in Appendix C.
No Activity: Select to enable or disable the no activity time for each
zone. When there is no activity in the specified zone and the system
is disarmed, a silent alarm is sent to the monitoring station. When the
system is armed and there is no activity in the specified zone, an
audible alarm and a report are sent to the monitoring station. By
default the option is disabled.
Swinger: Select the number of repeated opening events from the
zone after which the system ignores the zone. The default setting is 2
zone openings. The zone is restored after a manual system reset or
automatically after a defined number of hours. The default value is 8
hours.
Zone cross: The zone cross option requires an opening of two zones
within a given time period to initiate an Alarm event sequence. This
setting links between the two zones.

other linked zone is not opened, a zone cross error is sent to the
monitoring station. The default is 30 seconds.
Abort Window: A period of time after a sensor initiates an alarm
condition that allows the user additional time to disarm the system

6.4.1 Exit Delay
An exit delay enables the user to arm the system and exit the site through a
specified door (determined as a delay zone) using a predetermined path after
arming the system, without setting off an alarm.
A progress annunciation of slow-rate warning beeps sound when the system is
armed. The system counts down the last 10 seconds of the delay if the voice
capability is configured; otherwise, the warning beeps are faster. The exit delay
is set at 60 seconds by default.
An Exit Error sequence is initiated if an entry/exit zone is in an opened state at
the instant of exit time expiration or if no delay zone is opened during the exit
time.
An Exit Error process for a delay zone is as follows:
The local alarm immediately sounds.
The annunciator sounds an Entry Delay or an alarm condition.
An Entry Delay is initiated.
If the alarm system is not Disarmed at the end of the Entry Delay, the
Alarm Transmission Sequence is initiated.
The Alarm Transmission includes the alarm and an Exit Error message to

Walk Test
When entering the detector’s Test mode, the red and green LEDs
on the panel flash every second simultaneously, and the display
shows “receiving…”.
If the alert monitoring station reporting options is enabled, an
E607 event is transmitted.
The Walk Test sequence timeout is for 15 minutes. In the last 5
minutes, a squawk is heard every two seconds in addition the
green and red LEDs flash simultaneously to indicate that the
testing period will be terminated in another five minutes.
If the system walk detector test is terminated, an R607 restore
event is transmitted (if enabled).
During the Walk Test, each successful detector violation causes a
squawk and the signal strength is displayed.
In the conclusion of the Walk Test, the installer may browse
through the recorded results by using Menu. Each browsing of a
record is followed by the E613 event transmission with the
relevant zone indication.
For 24-H and fire zones, reporting trouble event E380 is sent to
the monitoring station.
Although the system supports up to twenty users, only one master user has
access to all the settings.
1. Press Menu until the screen displays User.
2. Press Enter.
