1. Mount the Control.
1. Mount the control cabinet to a sturdy wall in a clean, dry area, which is not readily accessible to the
general public, using fasteners or anchors (not supplied) with the four cabinet mounting holes.
2. Remove cabinet door, then remove the lock
knockout from the door. Insert the key into the
CHECK

lock
LOCKED
3. Position the lock in the hole, making certain that
the latch will make contact with the latch bracket
when the door is closed. When correctly
positioned, push the lock until the snap tabs hold
it securely.
CABINET DOOR
The cabinet can be secured without a lock by
using 2 screws in the cover's edge.
Installing the Cabinet Lock
4. Before installing the cabinet's contents, remove the cabinet knockouts needed for wiring entry. Do not
remove the knockouts after the PC board has been installed.
5. Mount the PC Board. Refer to the diagram below.

3. Connect the Transformer & Battery.
1321 Transformer (1321CN in Canada)
• Do not plug the transformer into the AC outlet until all wiring connections to the control are complete. As
a safety precaution, always power down the control when making such connections.
1361X10 Transformer
(required if using Powerline Carrier devices)
1. Splice one end of a 3-conductor cable to the wire ends of the SA4120XM-1 cable.
2. Connect the SA4120XM-1 cable plug to the 8-pin connector on the control.
3. Connect the other end of the 3-conductor cable to the 1361X10 Transformer.
Canadian Installations: For Powerline Carrier Devices, use the PSC04 X-10 Interface and trigger
connector pins.
Battery Connections
• After all connections to the control are completed and after AC power has been applied, connect the
red and black flying leads on the control board to the battery.
• This control will not power-up on battery alone (AC power must be applied). However, once the system is
powered up, it will operate on battery if AC is lost.
UL For UL installations and Residential fire installations, refer to the chart below for the correct battery
size required to meet the mandatory standby time.
CALIFORNIA STATE FIRE MARSHALL (CSFM) AND UL RESIDENTIAL FIRE
24-HOUR BATTERY BACKUP REQUIREMENTS
The California State Fire Marshal and UL have regulations which require that all residential fire alarm
control panels must be provided with a backup battery which has sufficient capacity to operate the panel
and its attached peripheral devices for 24 hours in the intended standby condition, followed by at least 4
minutes in the intended fire alarm signaling condition. This control panel can meet these requirements
without using a supplementary power supply, provided that the panel's auxiliary power and bell output
currents are limited as listed below.

Standard Keypads (6150 / 6160 series)
• Set each keypad's address (16-23) accordingly. Address 16 is reserved for the first keypad and is
always enabled in the control.
• Use data fields *190-*196 to enable keypads and set their sounding options.

Relay Modules (4204)
• Connect desired field wiring to the module's relay contact terminals.
• Set each module's address (12-15) using the module's DIP switches.
• Use ∗79 / ∗80 Menu modes to enter each device address and define functions.
RF Receiver (5881, 5883, RF Keypad)
• Set the receiver's address to 00 using the module's DIP switches.
• If using wireless keypads, set field ∗24 RF House ID Code appropriately.
If receiver is mounted remotely, note the following:
• Do not locate the receiver or transmitters on or near metal objects. This will decrease range and/or
block transmissions.
• Do not locate the RF receiver in an area of high RF interference (indicated by frequent or
prolonged lighting of the receiver's LED; random flicker is OK).
• Do not locate RF receiver closer than 10 feet from any keypads.
4. Program the Control.
Refer to the Programming Guide to program the control.
(
The control can also be programmed via the Compass Downloader.)
1. Enter Programming Mode: installer code + 8-0-0.
2. Change the default Installer Code using field ∗20.
3. Enter the appropriate central station phone numbers and account numbers.
4. Program the system data field options as desired.
4. Use the various menu modes to program zones, relay outputs, descriptors, etc.
5. If AVS system is installed, use the appropriate AVS Quick Program Command.
6. Program Schedules (if used): Master code + [#] + 64
7. Enable RF button keyfobs (if used) and assign to user numbers accordingly.
8. Show the Master user how to change the default Master code:
master code + [8] + 0-2 + new code + new code again
5. Test the System.
1. Disarm; the system and close all protected windows, doors, etc.
2. Enter the Master code + [5] (TEST), then press [0] (walk).
3. Listen. The external sounder should sound for about 1 second then turn off.
4. Fault zones in turn and listen for three beeps from the keypad. ID of each faulted point should appear
on the display. The display clears when the zone is restored.
5. Walk in front of any interior motion detectors and listen for three beeps. The identification of the detector
should appear on the display when it is activated.
6. Test all smoke and CO detectors, following the manufacturer's instructions. The identification of each
detector should appear on the display when activated.
7. When all protection points have been checked and are intact (closed), there should be no zone
identification numbers displayed on the keypad.
8. Exit test mode: security code + [1] (OFF)

AVS System
• If used, follow the installation instructions provided with the module.
• Connect the AVS module to the control's ECP terminals and connect all other ECP devices to the
AVS module's ECP terminals.
• Set the AVS address using its DIP switches: V15P = 08; V20P = 11
• Use the desired AVS Quick Program Command to set pre-defined options:
installer code + 0-3: enable AVS operation
installer code + 0-4: enable AVS and enable panel sounds on AVST speaker
• Use field ∗55 Dynamic Signaling Priority to select the desired reporting paths.
2. Connect hardwire zones to the appropriate zone terminals 8-20.
3. On-Board Trigger Connections
• Connect field wiring to the appropriate trigger pin using the SA4120XM-1 cable (if using 1361X10
transformer) or the 4-wire cable supplied (N4632-4).

4. Install Wireless Zone Transmitters.
• Use ∗56 Menu mode to program wireless zones and enroll the transmitters.
• Use the Go/No Go Test mode to verify adequate signal strength from each transmitter location: With
system "Ready to Arm," enter Installer code + [#] + 4, then fault each transmitter and listen for 3
beeps at the keypad and the zone display. Exit mode: user code + [1] (OFF).
5. Connect the external sounder to terminals 3 and 4.
• If supervised output desired, see Sounder Supervision wiring diagram on reverse side, and set field
∗91 Option Selection for Bell Supervision.
