Zone Wiring

ZONE WIRING

Class ‘B’ End-of-Line Resistor
Supervised Zones

A Class ‘B’ zone must be supervised with a 1500
Ohm 1/2 Watt end-of-line resistor (P/N CR854). This
resistor should be installed in series at the furthest
point from the control. This configuration must be
used whenever both Form A and Form B devices
are connected and provides a high degree of pro­tection against compromise or tampering. The con­trol monitors the voltage level across the zone and
uses the zone voltage levels in Table 1 to determine
whether the zone is normal, open, or shorted. The
operation of a zone is programmable (see Program­ming Record Book). Maximum total loop wire and

contact resistance (not including EOLs) must not
exceed 100 Ohms for the loop to function prop­erly . The 1500 Ohm EOL resistor is optional for
Form A connections but is required for Form B.

Normally

Open

Non-Supervised Closed Circuit
Loop (No EOL Resistor
Supervision)

The EOL resistor is not required on Burglar zones.
A conventional closed circuit loop may be connected
directly to a zone and the zone will have either a
short or an open condition. See Programming
Record Book for programming an unsupervised
zone. Fire zones may not be installed as unsuper­vised. Only Burglar defined zones may be wired non­supervised.

NOTE

For UL Listed systems, EOL Supervision is required.

ZXEX08 Zone Expander Module

This module provides an additional 8 zones (zones
9-16) for the ZX300/ZX310 control. These zones are
wired the same as the 8 on-board zones and the
JP1 jumper must be in place.

WIRELESS DEVICES

Wireless Devices

The ZX300/ZX310 provides an option for including
Wireless (or RF) Devices. The RF Devices may con­sist of RF Zone Devices (Universals, Door Con­tacts, Glassbreaks, PIRs and Smoke Detectors) and
RF User Devices (Handhelds). These RF Devices
require that an RF Gateway be attached to the sys­tem. The ZX300/ZX310 is compatible with either a
model 4710 or 4720 RF Gateway which are UL listed
for household fire and burglary and commercial fire.
If a 4720 RF Gateway is used, it must be set to ad­dress ‘1’. Refer to the RF Gateway instructions for
address selection.

• 4710 RF Gateway - provides up to 8 RF Zone
Devices and up to 8 RF User Devices. It can
only provide for zones 9-16.

• 4720 RF Gateway - provides up to 16 RF Zone
Devices and up to 8 RF User Devices. It can
provide for zones 1-16.

Mount the RF Gateway as described in the RF Gate­way instructions. Wire the local data bus to the ter­minals: +12V - RED; DATA A - GREEN; DATA B ­WHITE; NEG - BLACK. Set Address switch. Rein­stall the cover.

See Installer Level Programming - Programming RF
Data Into the RF Gateway . An RF User Device must
be mapped to a valid user passcode by program­ming.

The RF Gateway and RF Zone Devices should be
temporarily mounted in their desired locations until
they have been tested with the Control Panel. These
devices may need to be re-oriented or moved to
achieve optimal reception. After testing has been
completed, they should be permanently mounted.

ceived Signal Strength of the last transmission sent
by the RF Zone Device. See results below:

Strong Signal (5 Control Station beeps): a strong or
high level RF signal was measured by the receiver
for that location of the transmitter. This is a good
location for the transmitter and receiver.

Acceptable (3 Control Station beeps): a normal or
acceptable level of RF signal was measured by the
receiver for that location of the transmitter. This is a
good location for the transmitter and receiver.

Low Signal (1 Control Station beep): a low or
acceptable level of RF signal was measured by the
receiver for that location of the transmitter. Make
multiple test transmissions, making sure that obstruc­tions between the transmitter and receiver are nor­mal but minimized (hands away from units, metal
ladders away from receiver, etc.) during these tests.
The transmitter and/or receiver will need to be relo­cated to obtain ACCEPTABLE level readings.

No Signal (1 long Control Station beep): no RF sig­nal or an extremely low RF signal was measured by
the receiver for that location of the transmitter. Bring
the transmitter to the RF Gateway and activate the
transmitter. The red LED on the RF Gateway should
blink. If it does not, then the transmitter is not work­ing. If the red LED does blink, but the signal strength
is still NO SIGNAL, then a programming error ex­ists. Check the programming of the zone in the RF
Gateway. If the signal strength is STRONG or AC­CEPT ABLE, then the transmitter and/or receiver will
need to be relocated to obtain ACCEPTABLE level
readings. Be sure to power down the control to clear
out all signal strength levels before testing the trans­mitter at its new location.

After testing has been completed, the RF Gateway
and RF Zone Devices should be permanently mounted.

CONTROL STATION ADDRESSING AND SUPERVISION

Control Station Addressing and
Supervision

All LCD Control Stations are shipped from the fac­tory as Control Station #1 (#3 for Icon Control Sta­tions) and supervised. They may be set to other ad­dresses and to unsupervised as described below.

SSD, LCD, and VFD Control
Stations

These Control Stations have a four position DIP
switch on the circuit board to set the address and
supervision. To change the Control Station to unsu­pervised, move DIP switch 4 to the ON position. To
change the address, the DIP switch setting must be
positioned according to Figure 3.

LED Control Stations

These Control Stations have two jumpers on the cir­cuit board to set the address and supervision. To
change the address of Control Station #1 to Control
Station #2, remove JP2 (see Figure 4). To change a
Control Station to unsupervised, remove JP1 (see
Figure 4).

Supervised and
Unsupervised Control
Stations

Figure 3 Control Station DIP Switch Settings

ICON Control Stations

These Control Stations have two jumpers on the cir­cuit board to set the address and supervision. To
change the address of Control Station #3 to Control
Station #4, remove JP2 (see Figure 4). To change a
Control Station to unsupervised, remove JP1 (see
Figure 4).

Remove JP1 to unsupervise

JP1

Remove JP2 for keypad 2 (LED) or
keypad 4 (ICON)

JP2

A supervised Control Station is reported as missing
when the system fails to get any response from it.

If more than one supervised Control Station is set to
a particular address, then none of those Control Sta­tions will function properly. Only one supervised
Control Station may be used at an address.

An unsupervised Control Station can be removed
from the system without the system detecting that it
is missing. The advantage of an unsupervised Con­trol Station is that a system can have as many Con­trol Stations as the power supply can support. Mul­tiple unsupervised Control Stations may be used at
any address. When unsupervised SSD, LCD, and
VFD Control Stations are used, they must be set to
address 3 or 4. By adding additional power supplies,
like the HCP12SULC, Control Stations may be added
up to a total of 18 bus devices on the system.

For UL listed systems, unsupervised Control Sta­tions are not allowed.

If an unsupervised Control Station is set to the same
address as a supervised Control Station, then the
unsupervised Control Station will not function. Do

not mix a supervised Control Station with unsu­pervised Control Stations at the same address.

CONTROL ST A TION TROUBLESHOOTING

Control Station Troubleshooting

If a Control Station is incorrectly wired, it will not accept key­stroke entries. The following symptoms may appear:

SYMPTOM CONDITION

No Control Station display or LEDs Black or Red Wire removed or cut
No response from key presses Green Wire removed or cut

Two supervised Control Stations at the same address

LEDs flash and may display White Wire removed or cut
“No Communication From Control” code Green/White Wires reversed

Green & White Wires shorted together

The nominal voltage at the control (with a single Control
Station connected) should measure as follows:

TERMINAL VOLTAGE

from Common Negative to GRN DATA ~ 9.3 VDC
from Common Negative to WHT DATA ~ 10.7 VDC
from Common Negative to KP+12V ~13.8 VDC

10

12 VDC Outputs

The control is supplied with one keypad power
output, one auxiliary power output, one bell out­put, and one programmable (PGO1) low current
output. (See Figure 1). The low current output on
the control can supply 10 mA @ 3VDC.

Additional outputs can be added with the ZXODM
Output Driver Module. The module receives its
data from the local data bus and provides ten ad­ditional programmable outputs. The ODM outputs
provide +12 VDC on activation and must be lim­ited to 40 mA of current draw.

The ODM comes defaulted from the factory as
ODM1. Y ou may use multiple ODMs provided that
power restrictions are followed. All ODMs must
be addressed as ODM1 and they all will provide
identical ouputs. Connect the ODM to the control
as shown in Figure 5. Use the twelve (12) wire
cable provided with the ODM for the outputs as
shown.

12 VDC OUTPUTS

Output conditions can be programmed as one of
many conditions. Refer to the Programming
Record Book for programming information and re­strictions.

NOTE

The outputs on this module have lim­ited transient immunity and should
not leave the enclosure. Mount mod­ule via the double-sided tape pro­vided on the back of the ODM to the
inside of the control enclosure.

Operating the System

Powering Up The Control

OPERA TING THE SYSTEM

The control comes from the manufacturer with a fac­tory set (default) program. The factory default code
for user passcode No. 1 is “1234”. This passcode is
authorized to perform all user level functions. The
default setting for the installer passcode is “9632”.
The installer passcode performs the installer level
functions. For purposes of discussion, the installer
and the end user are both considered system us­ers, but have different levels of authorization (see
the Programming Record Book).

When a Control Station is powered-up, it briefly dis­plays a test pattern followed by its data bus address.
The Control Station will then begin displaying infor­mation from the control panel. During the first fif­teen seconds after power-up, the control panel will
instruct the Control Station to display the panel’s
software revision and flash the AWAY, STAY and
NIGHT LEDs.

If the system is armed when it is powered up, viola­tions from all the Burglar zones are ignored for three
minutes. This allows all armed PIRs to stabilize with
out causing false alarms.

tem was armed by the installer passcode. For a
detailed description of arming and disarming proce­dures, see the appropriate User Guide.

Trouble Conditions

The possible trouble conditions are:

AC Power Failure Fire Trouble
Low Battery Silenced Fire Alarm
Memory Error Zone Missing
Communication Failure RF Point Not Reporting
Missing Keypad Smoke Trouble
RF Jamming RF Point Tamper
Bell Fault RF Point Low Battery
Telco Line Fault RF User Device Low Battery
Zone Trouble

If RF Jamming is detected for at least 90 seconds,
then all RF Burglar zones will be faulted.

Clearing Trouble Messages

Testing

The ZX300/ZX310 provides the following testing ca­pabilities: Walk Test, Battery Test, Bell Test, Com­municator T est, Keypad T est and RF Signal Strength
Test. Refer to the appropriate User Guide for in­structions on performing these tests. Always en­sure that a Walk Test (and an RF Signal Strength
Test when applicable) is performed on a new instal­lation.

Installer Arming and
Disarming

The installer passcode may be used to arm the sys­tem. It may be used to disarm, but only if the sys­tem was armed by the installer passcode. It may be
used to silence alarms and to silence trouble condi­tions. When it is used to silence a Burglar alarm, it
will not disarm or cancel the alarm unless the sys-

Most trouble conditions are cleared automatically
when the condition that initiated the trouble is re­stored or is eliminated. Three trouble conditions
(Memory Error, Smoke Trouble and Missing Keypad)
may be cleared manually by pressing and holding
the Clear key for three seconds (until two beeps are
heard). This action is also required to turn off the
Duress output after it has been activated and to
cause an "Installer Off Premises" event. A Bell Si­lenced trouble condition can only be cleared by per­forming a smoke reset operation.

Installer On Premises

The first time that an Installer level passcode is used
to perform a function, an "Installer On Premises"
event is logged to be reported. Before leaving the
premises, press and hold the CLEAR key for three
seconds and an "Installer Off Premises" event will
be logged to be reported.

PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL

Programming the Control

Introduction

The control may be programmed locally from any
SSD, LCD, VFD, or ICON control station. Program­ming with an LED Control Station is not supported.

Local Programming

There are two levels of Control Station programming:
User level and Installer level.

User Level

User level programming provides the ability to add,
change, or delete user passcodes. A user passcode
with authority level 1 is required to access the user
level programming. See the appropriate User Guide
for more information regarding user level program­ming.

Installer Level

Programming Zone Names

Zone names may be programmed on LCD and VFD
Control Stations without going into Installer Level
Programming. To program zone names:

1. Press the CLEAR and ENTER keys simulta­neously . The control station prompts you to en­ter the zone number you wish to program/
change.

2. Enter a number corresponding to the Zone ID
and press Enter. Once a valid Zone ID is se­lected, the control displays the Zone ID and the
current Zone Name with the cursor on the first
character. Press the key associated with each
character. Each keypress changes the display
to the next character listed for that key . A maxi­mum of 10 characters, including spaces, may
be used for each zone name.

The following table lists the characters available
for the Zone name.

yeK sretcarahC

Installer level programming allows total
customization of the control’s operating features.
The installer passcode (User 9) is required to ac­cess installer level programming. Anyone attempt­ing installer level programming should be familiar
with the contents of this publication prior to program­ming the control panel.

NOTE

If the installer code is lost or forgot­ten, it may be impossible to program
the control locally.

Program Function Map

While the Control Station is displaying the value at
a location, you can enter digits to change the value
at that location. The new value is displayed as you
enter the digits. Other keys work as follows:

ENTER - if pressed after new digits are

entered, the displayed value is
stored at the current location.

- if pressed with no new digits
entered, then it will go to the
next location.

Right Panic Key - if pressed, it will go back one

location and ignore any digits
entered.

CLEAR - if pressed after new digits are

entered, the new digits will be
erased and the original value
will be re-displayed at the lo­cation.

- if pressed with no new digits
entered, then it will return to
the LOCATION prompt.

Press the ’9‘ key and enter the installer passcode to
enter programming mode. Press the ‘3’ key to enter
Program Function Map mode. The Control Station
will prompt you for a location to be programmed.
See the Programming Record Book for location num­bers, definitions, and valid entries for the locations.
From this mode, you may program the entire Func­tion Map except for User Codes. (See Installer Level
Programming - Program User Codes).

From the LOCATION prompt, enter digits for the
desired location number. The digits entered will be
displayed. If more than three digits are entered, the
first digit entered will be discarded. If you make a
mistake, you may press the CLEAR key to clear out
the location and start over. When the desired loca­tion number is displayed, press the ENTER key . The
Control Station will then display the current value
programmed at that location.

OFF CANCEL - if pressed, momentarily dis-

UNDESIRABLE OPERATION MAY OCCUR.

INST ALLER LEVEL PROGRAMMING

Programming the Account Code and
Telephone Number Digits

When the location being programmed is an account
code or telephone number digit the value will be dis­played as an “H” followed by a single digit. The “H”
indicates that this location is a Hexadecimal field.
The valid entries for these locations are “0” through
“F”, where A - F correspond to 10 - 15 respectively.

To program a digit, enter digits as normal. To enter
an A - F, enter a ‘1’ followed by a ‘0’ through ‘5’.

As in programming normal fields, if too many digits
are entered, the first digit entered will be discarded.
The ENTER, OFF CANCEL, Right Panic, and
CLEAR keys will work the same as described above.

Additional Programming Notes

To exit out of Edit Function Map mode and return
the Control Station to the idle state, press the CLEAR
key from the LOCATION prompt. (You may need to
press the CLEAR key several times to get to the
LOCATION prompt). When the installer passcode
is used for the first time, an "Installer on Premises"
event is logged to be reported. Before leaving, the
CLEAR key must be pressed and held for 3 sec­onds to log an "Installer off Premises" event to be
reported.

When programming the value at the last program­ming location, the Control Station will return to the
LOCATION prompt if the ENTER key is pressed.

3. Enter the ID number then press the ENTER key.

4. Enter the new four-digit passcode. The Control
Station will beep twice and return to the User ID
prompt.

5. Enter a new ID number or press the CLEAR key
to return to the Ready mode.

T o view an existing passcode, press the ENTER key
after each digit is displayed. If the new passcode
being entered is a duplicate of an existing one, the
Control Station will sound an error tone and return
to the first digit location so that you may try again.

If you wish to make a User passcode inoperable,
enter “0,0,0,0” as the new four-digit passcode.

Restore Factory Defaults

This function provides a means to completely wipe out
the panel’s memory and restore it to a factory default
state. If successfully completed, the panel will:

• default the entire Function Map (including User

Passcodes and Zone Names)

• clear the Event Log

• clear all alarm, trouble and armed conditions

• not affect RF Data in the RF Gateway

Press the ’9‘ key and enter the installer passcode to
enter programming mode. Press the ‘6’ key to enter
Restore Factory Defaults mode. The Control Sta­tion will prompt you to re-enter the installer passcode
for verification.

INST ALLER LEVEL PROGRAMMING

Hours Until Next Comm Test

The scheduling of Automatic Communications T ests
requires programming the number of “Days Between
Comm T ests”. If “Days Between Comm T ests” is zero,
then no automatic comm tests will occur. Other­wise, a comm test will occur on an interval deter­mined by the “Days Between Comm Tests”.

The time that an auto comm test occurs will be the
same time on each comm test day. That time is
automatically set via a random number whenever
the system is powered-up. The time can also be ad­justed by setting the ”Hours Until Next Comm Test“.

Press the ’9‘ key and enter the installer passcode to
enter programming mode. Press the ‘7’ key to set
the Hours Until Next Comm Test. The Control Sta­tion will display zero (0).

Enter a number between 1 and 255. If a mistake is
made, press the CLEAR key to start over. If a num­ber greater than 255 is entered, the first digit en­tered will be discarded. When the desired number
of hours is displayed, press the ENTER key. The
Control Station will return to idle. To exit out of this
function without setting the number of hours, press

select an RF Device to program.

Enter 1 thru 16 to select an RF Zone and press EN­TER. The Control Station displays the eight digits
that are currently programmed in the RF Gateway
for that zone. The digits are displayed one at a time.
For each digit, you may program a new value by
pressing a digit key. The Control Station will auto­matically move to the next digit. To move to the next
digit without changing the current digit, press the
ENTER key.

The first digit to enter is the Supervision setting
where:

0 = Unsupervised
1 = Reserved
2 = Reserved
3 = 4 Hours
4 = 24 Hours

The next seven digits to enter come directly off of a
label on the RF Device.

Program RF Data

In order for an RF Zone Device or RF User Device
to be received by the RF Gateway, the address of
the RF Device must be programmed into the RF
Gateway. The ZX300/ZX310 can support up to 16
RF Zones and 8 RF User Devices. The RF Zones
are programmed into the RF Gateway as devices 1­16 corresponding to zones 1-16. The RF User De­vices are programmed into the RF Gateway as de­vices 17-24 in any order (there is no correlation be­tween these devices and the Control Panel’s configu­ration data). The 4710 RF Gateway is restricted to
devices 9-16 for zones 9-16 and devices 17-24 for
eight RF User Devices.

If you make a mistake while entering the eight dig­its, press the CLEAR key and the Control Station
returns to the first digit.

After the last digit is entered, the data is sent to the
RF Gateway and is confirmed and the Control Sta­tion returns to the RF Device selection prompt. If
the data is successfully loaded into the RF Gate­way , the Control Station beeps twice. If the RF Gate­way does not respond, the Control Station sounds
an error tone and briefly displays an error message.
Check the data bus connections to the RF Gate­way. If the 8 digit number entered for the RF Zone
is already stored in the RF Gateway for another zone,
the Control Station sounds an error tone and briefly
displays a message indicating the duplicate zone.

From the RF Device prompt, select another RF Zone
Device or press the CLEAR key to exit.

INST ALLER LEVEL PROGRAMMING

Programming RF User Devices Into the RF
Gateway

Press the ‘9’ key and enter the installer passcode to
enter programming mode. Press the ‘9’ key to Pro­gram RF Data. The Control Station prompts you to
select an RF Device to program.

Enter 17 thru 24 to select an RF User Device and
press ENTER. The Control Station displays the eight
digits that are currently programmed in the RF Gate­way for that device. The digits are displayed one at
a time. For each digit, you may program a new value
by pressing a digit key. The Control Stations will
automatically move to the next digit. To move to the
next digit without changing the current digit, press
the ENTER key.

Enter ‘1’ for the first digit.
The second digit to enter defines the operation of

the key(s) on the RF User Device, where:

SEC KEY KEY KEY KEY

1 AWAY STAY NIGHT OFF/CANCEL
2 AWAY STAY ACCESS OFF/CANCEL
3 AWAY STAY PANIC/HOLDUP OFF/CANCEL
4 AWAY STAY AUX/MED OFF/CANCEL
5 AWAY STAY NOT USED OFF/CANCEL
6 AWAY PANIC/HOLDUP NOT USED OFF/CANCEL
7 STAY PANIC/HOLDUP NOT USED OFF/CANCEL
8 STAY PANIC/HOLDUP AUX/MED OFF/CANCEL
9 AWAY NOT USED NOT USED OFF/CANCEL

The next six digits to enter come directly off of a
label on the RF User Device.

If you make a mistake while entering the eight dig­its, press the CLEAR key and the Control Station
returns to the first digit.

Check the data bus connections to the RF Gate­way. If the 8 digit number entered for the RF User
Device is already stored in the RF Gateway for an­other device, the Control Station sounds an error
tone and briefly displays a message indicating the
duplicate device.

From the RF Device prompt, select another RF User
Device or press the CLEAR key to exit.

Programming RF Devices Into the Control
Panel

After the RF Devices have been programmed into
the RF Gateway, they must also be programmed in
the Control Panel. The programming options for the
Control Panel’s Function Map are described in the
Programming Record Book. When RF Devices are
used in an installation, be sure to consider the fol­lowing:

For an RF Zone Device, the zone data must be pro­grammed for the selected zone. The Zone T ype and
Zone Attributes locations are programmed as usual.
The Zone Supervision must be programmed to 7
(wireless zone).

For an RF User Device, a user passcode must be
created (see Installer Level Programming - Program
User Codes) that consists of the last four digits of
the RF Device’s address. An appropriate authority
level must also be programmed for that user.

NOTE

Once all the above steps are per­formed, the Control Station may
sound a Trouble tone. The Con­trol Station will display ”Trouble­RF Point Not Reporting“ for each
RF Zone. These conditions are
cleared as a proper transmission
is received from each wireless
Zone Device.

After the last digit is entered, the data is sent to the
RF Gateway and is confirmed and the Control Sta­tion returns to the RF Device selection prompt. If
the data is successfully loaded into the RF Gate­way , the Control Station beeps twice. If the RF Gate­way does not respond, the Control Station sounds
an error tone and briefly displays an error message.

If the Trouble condition does not
clear, then there is an error in the
programming of the Gateway or
control or the RF Gateway is not
responding to the RF signal from
the sensor.

National Fire Protection Association

NFP A RULES

(NFPA) Rules

The National Fire and Burglar Alarm Association
(NFP A) has established rules to follow pertaining to
fire prevention and the installation of fire detection
equipment.

Smoke Detector Locations

For residential applications, install smoke detectors
in each bedroom and outside each separate sleep­ing area in the immediate vicinity of the bedrooms
and on each additional story of the family living unit
including basement and excluding crawl spaces and
unfinished attics. In new construction, a smoke de­tector should also be installed in each sleeping area.
For family living units with one or more split levels
(i.e.: adjacent levels with less than one full story
separation between levels), a smoke detector re­quired by the above is sufficient for an adjacent lower
level, including basements. EXCEPTION: Where
there is an intervening door between one level and
the adjacent lower level, install a smoke detection
on the lower level. For commercial applications, in­stall smoke detectors in each separate work area,
including hallways and storage areas.

Testing

This system should be tested weekly. All switches,
contacts, and accessories must be UL Listed de­vices. This equipment should be installed in accor­dance with the National Fire Protection Association
Standard No. 72 (National Fire Protection Associa­tion, Batterymarch Park, Quincy MA 02269). Con­trol panel specifications are subject to change with­out notice.

Consult smoke detector specifications and local and national
codes for coverage descriptions.

4 in.(0.1m) Minimum

12 in.(0.3m) Maximum

SIDE WALL

Install ceiling-mounted smoke detectors in the cen­ter of the room or hall, not less than 4 inches from
any wall. When mounting the detector on a wall,
place the top of the detector 4 to 12 inches from the
ceiling.

Do not install smoke detectors where normal ambi­ent temperatures are above 100

½F. (37.8½C.)

Do not position smoke detectors in front of air con­ditioners, heating registers, ceiling fans, or other lo­cations where normal air circulation will keep smoke
from entering the detector.

Heat from a fire rises to the ceiling, spreads out
across the ceiling surface and begins to bank down
from the ceiling. Corners where the ceiling and walls
meet create air spaces in to which heat has diffi­culty penetrating. Usually, these dead air spaces
measure about four (4) inches (0.1m) along the ceil­ing from the corner and four (4) inches (0.1m) down
the wall. Do not place heat or smoke detectors in
these dead air spaces.

NFP A RULES

CO Detector Locations

Selecting a suitable location is critical to the opera­tion of CO detectors. You should install an detector
in every bedroom and on each level of a dwelling. At
a minimum, one detector should be placed outside
the sleeping areas. See Figure 9.

Use the following guidelines to select a suitable lo­cation for the installation of CO detectors:

• Mount detectors on a ceiling or wall at least 5

feet up from the floor.

• Mount detectors at least 5 feet from outside

doors and windows.

• Mount at least 5 feet from open flame appliances

such as furnaces, stoves, and fireplaces.

• Mount at least 5 feet from any cooking appli-

ance.

• For sloped, gabled, or peaked ceilings, locate

the detector 3 feet from the highest point.

• Locate in a suitable environment as follows:

- Temperature between 40 degrees F and 100

degrees F.

- Humidity between 15 and 90% non-condens-

ing.

• Locate away from air conditioners, heating reg-

isters, and any other ventilation source that may
interfere with CO gas entering the detector.

• Do not mount where furniture or draperies may

obstruct the airflow.

• Mount detectors on a firm permanent surface.

FCC COMPLIANCE

FCC Compliance

Part 68 Notification

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the Fed­eral Communications Commissions (FCC) rules. All
connections to the telephone network must be made
through standard telephone company plugs and
jacks, RJ-31X or equivalent, in such a manner as to
allow for easy and immediate disconnection of the
equipment. If the connecting cord is unplugged from
the jack there shall be no interference to the tele­phone equipment still connected to the telephone
network.

The FCC registration number and Ringer Equiva­lence Number (REN) can be found printed on the
wiring connection label located inside the Control
Box Enclosure. If requested, provide this informa­tion to your telephone company . The REN is useful
to determine the quantity of devices that may be con­nected to your telephone line and still have all of
those devices ring when your number is called. In
most, but not all areas, the sum of the RENs of all
devices should not exceed five (5.0).

In the unlikely event that the equipment should ever
fail to operate properly, it should be disconnected
from the telephone jack to determine if the problem
is with the telephone network or with the equipment.
If a problem is found with the equipment, leave dis­connected until it is repaired or replaced.

In the unlikely event that the equipment should ever
cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue your service.
If possible, they will notify you in advance. How­ever, if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone
company may temporarily discontinue service with­out prior notification. In the case of temporary dis­continuance, the telephone company shall promptly
notify the telephone subscriber who will be given
the opportunity to correct the situation. The cus­tomer also has the right to bring a complaint to the
FCC if he feels the disconnection is not warranted.

Your telephone company may make changes in its
facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures that
could affect the proper operation of your equipment.
If they do, you will be given advance notice so as to
give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted
service.

You should notify the telephone company if this
equipment is removed from the premises and the
telephone jack is no longer needed.

Part 15 Notification

This equipment has been tested and found to com­ply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursu­ant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference when the equipment is oper­ated in a residential environment. This equipment
generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual, may cause harmful in­terference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment
off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following
measures:

• Reorient or locate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment

and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit

different from that to which the receiver is con­nected.

• Consult the dealer or an experience radio/TV tech-

nician for help.

CAUTION: Changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.

Canadian Notice

The Canadian Department of Communications la­bel identifies certified equipment. This certification
means that the equipment meets certain telecom­munications network protective, operational and
safety requirements. The Department does not guar­antee the equipment will operate to the user’s satis­faction. Before installing this equipment, users
should ensure that it is permissible to be connected
to the facilities of the local telecommunications com-

FCC COMPLIANCE

pany. The equipment must also be installed using
an acceptable method of connection. In some cases,
the company’s inside wiring associated with a single
line individual service may be extended by means
of a certified connector assembly (telephone exten­sion cord). The customer should be aware that com­pliance with the above conditions may not prevent
degradation of service in some situations. Repairs
to certified equipment should be made by an autho­rized Canadian maintenance facility designated by
the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the
user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions,
may give the telecommunications company cause
to request the user to disconnect the equipment.
Users should ensure for their own protection that
the electrical ground connections of the power util­ity, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe
system, if present, are connected together. This
precaution may be particularly important in rural ar­eas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such
connections themselves, but should contact the ap­propriate electric inspection authority, or electrician,
as appropriate.

LOAD NUMBER (LN) assigned to each termi-

The
nal device denotes the percentage of the total load
to be connected to a telephone loop which is used
by the device, to prevent overloading. The termina­tion on a loop may consist of any combination of
devices subject only to the requirement that the to­tal of the Load Numbers of all the devices does not
exceed 100. The LOAD NUMBER for the system is

2.
This equipment is a Class B Digital apparatus which

complies with the radio interference regulations,
CRC c. 1374.

Limitations

The ZX300/ZX310 is part of a system designed to
warn against unauthorized entry or of other situa­tions. However, it is not a guarantee of protection
against the occurrence of those events. Any alarm
system is subject to compromise or failure to warn
for various reasons. Unauthorized access can be
gained through unprotected points or by disarming
or bypassing protected points. Sensing devices are
power driven and will not operate without power.
Telephone lines over which alarm signals are trans­mitted may be out of service or rendered inoperable
by an intruder. Smoke detectors have limitations
and cannot detect all types of fires, or sense smoke
which is out of the effective range of the detector.
