1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing iConnect wireless intruder control panel. This quick start
guide manual describes the main steps for installing and programming the iConnect
Control System using the keypad on the main unit.

2. System Installation

1. Open the main unit housing.

2. Place the rear main unit against the wall and mark the upper and lower
mounting holes.

Note

If required, mark the rear tampers' location. It is located behind the main board.

3. Install wall anchors in the appropriate positions

4. Thread the power cable through the wiring hole on the back cover and connect
the cable to the AC power input on the main board.

Caution

Do not apply AC power at this stage.

5. If required connect a network (IP) cable and/or insert a SIM card to the
GSM/GPRS module.

6. Connect the battery pack to the connector. If an alarm occurs, insert the master
user code number (default '1234') to silence the alarm.

7. Mount the control system to a wall.

8. Close the front cover and apply AC power.

Note

It is recommended to perform a system scan in order to verify the system configuration. A
system scan is performed from the main menu: '[9] Programming' > '[7] Initialize' > '[5]
Find Modules' > '√'. The generated list displays the recognized system elements. If an
element is not included in the list, check the wiring connections and run this scan again.

3.2. Hardware Layout

The aim of this section is to present the systems' various circuit boards (Figure 3). Apart
from the Main Board, each peripheral module is available as an additional designed
option to be installed inside the plastic housing.

4. System Programming

4.1. Keys Menu Navigation

This manual explains how to program the iConnect from the keypad located either on
the main unit or on the LCD wireless keypad. Table 1 describes using the keypad keys
during programming.

'√' Enter / Save (to move into the displayed menu or to save the updated

data)

'X' Used to cancel the current selection or to return to the previous menu

/ To scroll up or down through the displayed menu options
[0]-[9] 1. To enter numeric values where required.

2. For quick key programming. Press the key number to access a
programming option.

3. To edit descriptors.

Table 1: Keypad usage

4.2. Enter Installer Programming mode

1. Go to the default display and press '√'.

2. Enter your installer code (default installer code is '1111').

3. Using the arrow keys, select '[9] Programming'.

4.3. Selecting a language

The iConnect supports multiple languages. For easy operation, select your language
as follows:

1. Go to the main menu select [9]>[7]>[1] (Programming > Initialize > Init All)

2. Select default and press '√'. Select language (Voice + LCD display) and press '√'.

4.4. Wireless Allocation

4.4.1. Main unit calibration

The first step in wireless allocation is to calibrate the main unit receiver. During the
calibration process the receiver selects the best RF channel according to the background
ʺnoiseʺ in the installation environment. This noise may be generated by other devices
operating on the same frequency nearby.

1. Go to the main menu select [9]>[1]>[8] >[1] (Programming > Devices > RF
Network > Establishment)

2. The iConnect

scans several RF channels and selects the channel with lower

ʺnoise levelʺ. Once 'Save?' display appears, press '√' to confirm the channel
selection.
