3. INSTALLATION

. INSTALLATION

3.1 Unpacking the Equipment

Open the cardboard packing box and check whether all

items have been included. If you find out that an item is

missing, contact your vendor or dealer immediately.

3.2 Supplying Power to the Unit

Enrolling the transmitting devices’ ID codes in the Power-

Max memory will be easier if carried out before actual

installation, with all detectors and the control panel on a

work bench. It is therefore necessary to power up the

PowerMax temporarily from the external power trans-

former or from its backup battery.
Connect a twisted pair between the transformer’s 9 VAC

screw terminals and the 9 VAC POWER terminals (located

in the rectangular opening at the back of the PowerMax

cabinet - see Figure 10).

Note: If the transformer does not have screw terminals,
connect the transformer’s integral twisted pair across the
9 VAC POWER terminals of the PowerMax.

Disregard any “trouble” indications that may appear

(due to lack of battery or lack of telephone line connection).
Alternatively, you may power up from the backup battery:
A . Insert a screwdriver into the slot shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Prying the Cover Loose

B. Turn the handle slightly to force the right edge of the

cover up. This should dislodge the two catches and
release the right edge of the cover.

WARNING! Do not attempt to dislodge the left side

of the cover first! This will inevitably break the left-

side angled legs.

C . Swing the cover up as shown in Figure 2, then pull free

the angled legs at the left and put the cover away. The
inner lid will now be in full view (see Figure 3).
