MESSAGE TO THE INSTALLER

The PowerMaxComplete 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 F.

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.

1. INTRODUCTION

Compatibility: This manual refers to PowerMaxComplete
v2.0.00 and above.

The PowerMaxComplete is a user and installer-friendly,
30-zone fully-supervised wireless control system. The
system is designed to function in an appealing way to the
user and also offers features that make installers’ life
easier than ever before:
The PowerMaxComplete 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.

If this optional module is
not used, a small 4­terminal strip is used
instead (2 terminals for
zone 29 and 2 terminals
for siren).

Caution:

When using the Expander,

the internal siren and

Zone 29 must be wired

via the Expander

and not via the

control panel.

Figure 3.2 - Wiring

Notes for EXPANDER module wiring:

* 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

Ω

resistor. The 12V terminal

can be used to supply 12V (up to 36mA) to a

detector (if necessary).

** 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).

WARNING! When plugging terminals back into place, be
sure to align them carefully with the pins on the PCB.
Misaligned or reverse insertion of terminals may damage
internal PowerMaxComplete circuits!

IMPORTANT! The terminals for internal and external
sirens are DC outputs intended for 12V sirens. Connecting
a loudspeaker to any of these outputs will cause a short
circuit and will damage the unit.

Notes for UL installations

a. The sirens connected to the sites INTERNAL or

EXTERNAL SIREN in the EXPANDER must be
suitable for burglar alarm applications. If UL fire
installation is required, all installed accessories must
comply with UL fire standards. Any external siren used,
must be UL listed and shall be rated to operate under
the voltage specified in the Specifications.

Note: The siren on the control panel PCB is non-UL
compliant.

b. A device that is connected to PGM terminal should not

exceed the current consumption defined for the 24-hour
backup period listed in the Backup Battery Options table
(see section 2.3).

c. The system shall be installed in accordance with Chapter

2 of the National Fire Alarm Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

d.

All wiring should be acceptable for class 1 systems as

defined by the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA

70. No. 26 AWG or larger telecommunication line cord
shall be used.

e. The system shall be installed in accordance with CSA

C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code, Part 1.

f. A minimum spacing of 1/4 inch shall be maintained

between the telephone wiring and the low voltage wiring
(zones, bell circuit, etc). Do not route the LINE and SET
wires in the same wiring channel with other wires.

4. PROGRAMMING

4.1 INTRODUCTION

The system is programmed via menus and sub-menus
which are entered through the Installer Mode and can be

selected using the

and keys.

Your system is equipped with an integrated Partition Mode
that can divide your alarm system into as many as three
distinct areas called partitions. If Partition Mode is enabled
additional menus become available and several system
features such as the LCD display behave differently. For
further details on Partition Mode see Appendix A.

4.1.1 General Guidance

We recommend to program the PowerMaxComplete 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 PowerMaxComplete
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 PowerMaxComplete 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 PowerMaxComplete 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.

- 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 90 seconds and the
message WRONG PASSWORD will be displayed.

4.1.3 Installer’s Menu

The installer's menu is shown in figure 4.1a. The text in
rectangles represents the current PowerMaxComplete
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
PowerMaxComplete that has 2
Installer Codes

For PowerMaxComplete 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.

4.2 ENROLLING WIRELESS DEVICES AND KEYFOB TRANSMITTERS

4.2.1 General Guidance

The ENROLLING mode has the following sub-modes:

• ENROLLING TYPE (wireless devices)

• ENROLL SENSORS.

ENROLL

KEYFOB (multi-button CodeSecure

transmitters)

• ENROLL WL 1WAY KP (wireless commander MCM-140+)

• ENROLL WL 2WAY KP (wireless 2-way keypad MKP-150/

MKP-151)

Note: This sub-mode will be hidden if Partition is
enabled.

• ENROLL WL SIREN (wireless siren)

• ENROLL PROX TAG (proximity tag)

Before beginning, gather all the devices 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 device 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. In

order to enroll to zones, use only non-CodeSecure
wireless devices.

4.2.2 Enrolling Type

Here you determine whether to enroll a wireless device by
normal transmission or by device Tamper function
(opening its cover). Options: normal, or by tamper.

4.2.3 Enroll/Delete Sensors

For PowerMaxComplete without expander module:
Magnetic contact or any other contact (not a detector) can
be enrolled in zone 29 and wireless detectors can be
enrolled in zones 01-28.
For PowerMaxComplete with expander module: Wired
detectors can be enrolled in zones 29&30 and wireless
detectors can be enrolled in zones 01-28.

Note: Wired zones need to be enrolled in the ENROLLING
menu before they are active.

STOP

• 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 alarm transmissions.

To enroll / delete wired / wireless sensors, refer to Fig. 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

The 2-way keypad, type MKP-150/MKP-151, 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.

Note: MKP-150/151 is not compatible for use when partition
is enabled.

4.2.7 Enroll/Delete Wireless Siren

The wireless siren is a remote siren that is activated upon
predefined events by the PowerMaxComplete 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).
Proximity tags are not compatible for use when partition is
enabled.

* Keyfob & proximity tags enrolling can be performed by the

installer or by the user (via USER SETTINGS menu).

** A black box in the display means that a device is

enrolled (the system has learned its ID). No black box
indicates that the device is not enrolled.

*** Initiate either normal transmission or the device tamper

function (see ENROLLING TYPE, Par. 4.2.2).

****Select "higher" sensitivity for far wireless device,

"lower" for near devices.

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
E9) In addition, it also allows you to assign a name and
partition number (up to three in a PowerMaxComplete
Partition system) to each zone and determine whether the
zone will operate as a chime zone (only while the system is
in the disarmed

or Home arming state). 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 E.

Note: Custom Zone Name text can be changed through
the DEFINE VOICE menu.
