MESSAGE TO THE INSTALLER
The PowerMaxPro control panel is supplied with 2 instruction manuals:
Installer Guide (this manual - for your exclusive use)
User’s Guide (for your use during installation only - Must be handed over to the master user after testing the system).
Appendices A.1 and A.2 will help you prepare an installation plan. Please take time to fill out the forms - your job will
become much easier and confusion will be prevented. Filling out the forms will also help you create a list of detectors and
transmitters that must be obtained for the particular application. Compatible detectors and transmitters are listed and
described briefly in Appendix E.
Remember - it is advisable to power up the control panel temporarily after unpacking and program it on the work bench, in
accordance with the installation plan.
The programming flow charts in the programming section show all options available for each parameter. Factory defaults
are marked with a dark box to their right, and other options (that can be selected instead) are marked by clear boxes. This
method allows you to put a checkmark in the appropriate clear box whenever you deviate from the factory defaults.
Most of the programming section paragraph numbers correlate with the programming menu numbers. For example,
paragraph 4.4.19 describes the "Jam detect", that exists in menu 4 (define panel), sub-menu 19 (Jam detect).
Although setting the correct time and date is one of the user tasks, we recommend that you set the time and date in the
course of programming. Access to the “User Settings” for the installer is possible through item 10 on the installer‘s menu or
through the user menu (see User’s manual section 7).
After programming, proceed to install the system as detailed in the Installation Instructions, from paragraph 3.4 onward.
The installer should verify line seizure. Be aware of other phone line services such as DSL. If DSL service is present
on the phone line, you must install a filter. It is suggested to use the DSL alarm filter model Z-A431PJ31X
manufactured by Excelsus Technologies, or equivalent. This filter simply plugs into the RJ-31X jack and allows
alarm reporting without breaking the internet connection. If the user has a Voice over IP phone system only, the
control panel will not be able to communicate with the central station via the PSTN telephone line. In this case, the
user will either need to install an additional telephone line, or connect a GSM module.
2 D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide
1. INTRODUCTION
The PowerMaxPro is a user and installer-friendly, 30-zone
fully-supervised wireless control system. The system is
designed to function in a way that appeals to the user but
also offers features that make installers’ life easier than
ever before.
The PowerMaxPro includes an optional partition feature.
Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently
controllable areas with different user codes assigned to each
partition or one user code assigned to a combination of up to
3 partitions. Partitions can be armed or disarmed individually
or altogether in one operation. For example, you can define
the garage as partition 1, the basement as partition 2 and the
house as partition 3. Since each partition is independent of
other partitions, you can arm or disarm each partition as
desired without altering the states of the other partitions.
EASY TO INSTALL
Plug-in terminal blocks in "Zones", "Dual RS-232" and
"Phone" modules, can be wired while detached from the
unit.
Quick attach-detach TELCO sockets for telephone line
and X-10 controller. Includes a terminal block for
telephone line & set.

3.5.2 Zones and Sirens Wiring
Figure 3.1c – Zones and Sirens Wiring
Notes:
* Zone 29/GND and Zone 30/GND terminals can be
connected to a normally closed contact of a detector,
switch (for example a Tamper switch of any device),
or a pushbutton, via a 2.2 K resistor. The 12V
terminal can be used to supply 12V (up to 450mA)
to wired detectors (if necessary).
** Both +12V terminals are identical (shorted together).
The EXT terminal can be used to trigger an external
siren.
The INT terminal can be programmed for an "internal
siren" or "strobe" (see DEFINE OUTPUTS - DEFINE
INT/STRB in par. 4.8).
The +12V and "GND" terminals can be connected to a
siren (for constant DC power supply) – not
applicable in North America.
IMPORTANT! Total PowerMaxPro output current (of INT &
EXT sirens, PGM output and detectors) cannot exceed 550
mA.
3.5.3 Installing an Optional X-10 Siren
If you need a “wireless” external siren, you may install an
X-10 siren module which is triggered by a signal transmitted
via the built-in electrical wiring of the protected site. This
siren can replace the regular external siren or complement
it without laying out additional wires. Of course, such a siren
can be used only in conjunction with an optional power-line
interface module.
The X-10 siren is ready to function upon connection to an
electrical power outlet, without re-programming the
PowerMaxPro. You only have to set the HOUSE CODE and
the UNIT CODE selectors on the X-10 siren as follows:
House Code: Set this selector to the letter that follows, by
alphabetical order, the letter that you programmed as a
house code for the protected premises. For example, if the
programmed house code is “J”, set the siren house code
selector to “K”.
Note: If the programmed house code letter is “P” (which is
the last programmable letter), select “A” for the siren.

4. PROGRAMMING
(*) Applicable only when "USER PERMIT" function is enabled
(see par. 4.4.36 - USER PERMIT).
Figure 4.1a - Installer’s Menu
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Your system is equipped with a partitioning feature (in a
PowerMaxPro Partition system) that can divide your alarm
system into three distinct areas identified as Partition 1
through 3. Partitioning can be used in installations where
shared security systems are more practical, such as a
home office or warehouse building. When partitioned, each
zone, each user code and many of your system's features
can be assigned to Partition 1 to 3.
Note: When partition is disabled, all zones, user codes, and
features of the PowerMaxPro will operate as in a regular
unit. When partition is enabled, all zones, user codes, and
features of the PowerMaxPro are automatically assigned to
Partition 1.
4.1.1 General Guidance
We recommend to program the PowerMaxPro on the work
bench before actual installation. Operating power may be
obtained from the backup battery or from the AC power supply.
The installer’s menu is accessible only to those who know
the installer’s 4-digit code, which is 9999 by factory default.
Note: Access to the installer menu, in PowerMaxPro that
has "User Permission" enabled (for example in UK) is
accessible only at the end of the user menu. This option
can be changed if necessary (see par. 4.4.36).
For PowerMaxPro that has 2 installer codes, the default
MASTER INSTALLER code is 9999 and the default
INSTALLER code is 8888.
The following actions can be done only by using the
master installer code:
Changing master installer code.
Resetting the PowerMaxPro parameters to the default
parameters,
Defining specific communication parameters, as
detailed in a note in Figure 4.5.
Obviously, you are expected to use this code only once for
gaining initial access, and replace it with a secret code
known only to yourself.
You will mainly use 5 control pushbuttons during the entire
programming process:
- to move one step forward in a menu.
4.1.3 Installer’s Menu
The installer's menu is shown in Figure 4.1a. The text in
rectangles represents the current PowerMaxPro display.
4.1.4 Setting a New Installer Code
To set an installer code, perform the actions that are
presented in Figure 4.1b. When you are instructed to enter
code, enter a 4-digit code.
4.1.5 Setting a New Installer Code in PowerMaxPro that has 2 Installer Codes
For PowerMaxPro with 2 installer codes, MASTER
INSTALLER code (default 9999) and INSTALLER code
(default 8888), set new codes as shown in figure 4.1c.
For details regarding the different authorization levels
when logging in with installer code and master installer
code, refer to the note inside Figure 4.5 (DEFINE COMM).
By using the master installer code, the menu enables
changing both master installer code and installer code. By
using the installer code, the menu enables changing the
installer code only.
- to move one step backward in a menu.
- to enter the relevant menu or confirm data.
- to move one level up in a menu.
- to return to the "OK TO EXIT" state.
The sounds you will hear while programming are:
- Single beep, heard whenever a key is pressed.
- Double beep, indicates automatic return to the
normal operating mode (by timeout).
- Happy Melody (- - - –––), indicates successful
completion of an operation.
- Sad Melody (–––––), indicates a wrong move
or rejection.
4.1.2 Entering an Invalid Installer Code
If you enter an invalid installer code 5 times, the keypad
will be automatically disabled for a pre-defined period of
time and the message WRONG PASSWORD will be
displayed.

Before enrolling, the lens at the front of PIR
and dual-technology sensors should be
masked to prevent inadvertent transmission.
Make sure that magnetic contact transmitters are
together with their magnets, to prevent them from
sending out alarm transmissions.
Note: Installer Code should never be programmed as
“0000”. Doing so will lock the user out of the installer menu!
4.2 ENROLLING WIRELESS SENSORS AND KEYFOB TRANSMITTERS
4.2.1 General Guidance
The ENROLLING mode has the following sub-modes:
ENROLLING TYPE (wireless sensors)
ENROLL SENSORS (enroll wired magnetic contact or
any other contact in zones 29 & 30 / enroll wireless
detectors in zones 01-28).
ENROLL KEYFOB (multi-button CodeSecure
transmitters)
ENROLL WL 1WAY KP (wireless commander MCM-140+)
ENROLL WL LCD KP (wireless 2-way keypad
MKP-150/151/152 or wireless 2-way keyprox MKP-160)
ENROLL WL SIREN (wireless siren)
ENROLL PROX TAG (proximity tag)
Before beginning, gather all the sensors that you intend to
enroll and make sure they all have batteries installed.
Your control panel must recognize the unique identification
code (ID) of each such sensor in order to supervise them,
receive their signals and respond accordingly.
Attention! CodeSecure transmitters are mainly used for
arming/disarming and can not be enrolled to zones. For
enrolling to zones, use only non-CodeSecure
wireless sensors.
4.2.2 Enrolling Type
Here you determine whether to enroll a wireless sensor by
normal transmission or by sensor Tamper function
(opening its cover). Options: normal, or by tamper.
4.2.3 Enroll/Delete Sensors
Wired and wireless sensors can be enrolled into the
PowerMaxPro. To enroll / delete sensors, refer to Figure 4.2.
4.2.4 Enroll/Delete Keyfob Transmitters
Keyfob transmitters are multi-button wireless CodeSecure™
transmitters. Eight system users use them for better,
quicker and safer control over various system functions.
To enroll / delete 1-way or 2-way keyfob transmitters, refer
to Figure 4.2.
4.2.5 Enroll/Delete Wireless Commander
The Wireless Commander (MCM-140+) is a remote control
unit that enables the user to remotely control the system.
To enroll / delete up to 8 wireless commanders, refer to
Figure 4.2 (Enroll WL 1-way KP).
4.2.6 Enroll/Delete 2-Way Keypad / Keyprox
The 2-way keypad, type MKP-150/151/MKP-152, or 2-way
keyprox, type MKP-160, enables the user to remotely
control the system and also to receive data from the
system (status, alarm and trouble data). To enroll up to two
2-way keypads, refer to Figure 4.2.
4.2.7 Enroll/Delete Wireless Siren
The wireless siren is a remote siren that is activated upon
predefined events by the PowerMaxPro system. To enroll /
delete up to 2 wireless sirens, refer to Figure 4.2.
4.2.8 Enroll/Delete Proximity Tags
Proximity tags enable authorized people to enter restricted
areas. Presenting valid proximity tag, while the system is
armed, causes the system to disarm. Presenting valid
proximity tag, while the system is disarmed, causes the
system to be armed in AWAY (optional HOME) mode. To
enroll / delete proximity tags, refer to Figure 4.2.
Note: Proximity tags are used on control panels with
installed Proximity readers (not standard on UK versions).
D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide 11

4.3 DEFINING ZONE TYPES, NAMES, CHIME ZONES & PARTITION
This mode allows you to assign one of 15 zone types to
each of the system's 30 (wireless & wired) zones. You can
define zones as KEY ZONES, to enable arming/disarming
of the system by PowerCode transmitters (see appendix
D14). In addition, it also allows you to assign a name and
partition number (up to three) to each zone and determine
whether the zone will operate as a chime zone. When a
chime zone is triggered, chime melody or zone name is
heard (there are 3 selectable chime modes - Melody chime,
Zone Name Chime or Chime Off).
A list of factory defaults is printed in table 1. You may fill
out the blank columns even before you start and proceed
to program according to your own list.
Remember!
A delay zone is also a perimeter zone by definition.
Zone types are fully explained in Appendix D.
Note: Custom Zone Name text can be changed through
the DEFINE VOICE menu.
Figure 4.3 - DEFINE ZONES Flow Chart
* The currently saved option is displayed with a dark box at the right side. To review the options, repeatedly click
or button, until the desired option is displayed, then click (a dark box will be displayed
at the right side).
** Key ON/OFF is an optional function that enables you to arm or disarm the system via zones 21-28, 29 or 21-29, provided
that "non-alarm" was pre-defined for these zones.
D-302541 PowerMaxPro Installer's Guide 13
Before enabling Key Zones, the following procedures must be performed:
1. Go to the "2. ENROLLING" menu and enroll the transmitter (for further instructions, see section 4.2).

option. After making your selection, press the button on the keypad (for further instructions, see section 4.4).
*** Available and enabled only by customer request.
**** Zone Type Definitions:
Inter-follow – a zone that is located between entry/exit zone and the alarm system control panel
Perimeter – a zone that relies on detectors to protect doors, windows and walls
Perim-follow – a non-entry/exit zone
Delay 1/2 – a zone that has programmable exit and entry delays
24h silent – a zone that initiates a silent alarm (the sirens do not function)
24h audible – a zone that initiates a siren alarm
Fire – a zone that uses smoke detectors and is permanently active
Non-alarm – used mainly to perform auxiliary remote control tasks such as opening/closing a gate, activating/deactivating
courtesy light, etc.
Emergency – used to send an emergency call to the central station or to private telephones
Gas – a zone that detects a gas leak and is permanently active
Flood – a zone that detects a flooad leak and is permanently active
Interior – a zone that allows free movement within the protected area without initiating an alarm (when armed HOME)
Temperature – a zone used to detect both indoor and outdoor temperatures and is permanently active
Home/Delay – a zone type which functions as a delay zone when the system is armed HOME and as a perimeter-
follower zone when the system is armed AWAY
Guard – a zone that functions like a 24-hour audible zone, except that following a short time period after an alarm, the
alarm is disabled (to allow access to a metal safe by a Guard)
Outdoor – a zone for outdoor areas where an activated alarm does not indicate intrusion into the house
For a detailed explanation of the Zone Types, refer to Appendix E.
4.4 DEFINING CONTROL PANEL PARAMETERS
4.4.1 Preliminary Guidance
This mode allows you to customize the control panel and
adapt its characteristics and behavior to the requirements
of the particular user. An illustrated process is shown in
Figure 4.4. In this illustration, each selected option is
displayed with a dark box at the right side. To review the
options, repeatedly click
the desired option is displayed, then click SHOW/OK
button.
or button, until
4.4.2 Entry Delays 1&2
(Fig. 4.4, location 01, 02). Two different entry delays allow
the user to enter the protected site (while the system is in
the armed state) via 2 specific doors and routes without
causing an alarm.
Following entry, the user must disarm the control panel
before the entry delay expires. Slow-rate warning beeps
start sounding once the door is opened, until the last 10
seconds of the delay, during which the beeping rate
increases. Locations No. 1 (entry delay 1) and 2 (entry
delay 2) allow you to program the length of these delays.
Available options for each delay are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s,
60s, 3m and 4m.
4.4.3 Exit Delay
(Fig. 4.4 location 03). An exit delay allows the user to arm
the system and leave the protected site via specific routes
and doors without causing an alarm. Slow-rate warning
beeps start sounding once the arming command has been
given, until the last 10 seconds of the delay, during which
the beeping rate increases. Location No. 3 allows
programming of the exit delay length. Available options
are: 30s, 60s, 90s, 120s, 3m, and 4m.
4.4.4 Bell Time
(Fig. 4.4, location 04). Here you select the length of time
the bell (or siren) is allowed to function upon alarm. The
bell time starts upon activation of the siren. Once the bell
time expires, the siren is automatically shut down.
Available options are: 1, 3, 4, 8, 10, 15 and 20 minutes.
Note: Bell Time is defined for the entire alarm system and
not per partition.
4.4.5 Abort Time
(Fig. 4.4 location 05). Here you select the length of time
allowed by the system to abort an alarm (not applicable to
alarms from FIRE, 24H SILENT, EMERGENCY, GAS,
FLOOD and TEMPERATURE zones). The PowerMaxPro
is programmed to provide an “abort interval” that starts
upon detection of an event. During this interval, the buzzer
sounds a warning but the siren remains inactive and the
alarm is not reported. If the user disarms the system within
the allowed abort interval, the alarm is aborted.
Available options are: 00s, 15s, 30s, 45s, 60s, 2m, 3m
and 4m.
4.4.6 Alarm Cancel
(Fig. 4.4, location 06). Here you determine the ”cancel
alarm” period that starts upon reporting an alarm to the
central station. If the user disarms the system within that
time period, a “cancel alarm” message is sent to the
central station.
Available options are: 1, 5, 15, 60 minutes, 4 hours and
also cancel inactive.
4.4.7 Quick Arm
(Fig. 4.4, location 07). Here you determine whether the
user will be allowed to perform quick arming or not. Once
quick arming is permitted, the control panel does not
request a user code before it arms the system.
The two options are: quick arm ON and quick arm OFF.
