PowerMax DE5450 User Manual

DE5450

You will need the following telephone-type cords:
• For telephone line hookup only (installations where

line seizure is not required): 6-lead RJ-11 cord(s).

• For telephone line-and-set hookup (typical installation

requiring line seizure): 8-lead RJ-31X cord(s).

Note: RJ-11 and RJ-31X cords are available as either

single ended with flying leads at the other end, or

double-ended. Use a double-ended cord if the telephone

line jack is located near the panel. If the telephone line

jack is far away, use two single ended cords and splice

them together with 4-conductor cable.

• For X-10 connection: 6-lead RJ-11 double-ended cord.

Only 4 leads are used - make sure the cord is “1 to 1”.

Refer to Figure 10 and proceed as follows:
A. Use the cords to complete the following connections:

The LINE socket to the telephone line (or the LINE &

SET socket to the telephone line and the local

telephone set).

The X-10 socket to the powerline interface module.

B. Extract the screw terminal blocks one by one and make

the necessary connections. When done, plug each

terminal block onto its PCB mounted pins.

IMPORTANT! The terminals for internal and external

sounders are DC outputs intended for 9V sounders.

Connecting a loudspeaker to any of these outputs

will cause a short circuit and will damage the unit.

C. Route the wires and cords via the rear wiring channels.

With all wires properly seated, proceed to Para. 3.6.

3.6 Cabinet-to-Bracket Attachment

Once all connections are made and the wires are seated
within the channels at the rear, it is only necessary to
attach the control panel to the wall-mounted bracket.
Refer to Figure 11 and proceed as follows:
A. Hold the cabinet with its top slightly slanted toward

yourself and align the trap at the bottom of the cabinet
with the dual-prong catch at the bottom of the bracket.

Figure 11. Cabinet-to-Bracket Assembly - Top View

B. Allow the dual prong catch to enter the trap as far as it

will go while slanting the cabinet towards your stomach.

C. Using the dual prong catch as a pivot, bring the top of

the cabinet closer to the wall, allowing the two hangers

to enter the two corresponding holes in the cabinet.

D. Once the cabinet is flush against the bracket, slide it

down as far as the hangers will allow (about 10 mm).

The dual prong catch at the bottom should snap into

place with a click.

E . Pry the left side cover loose and remove it as explained

in Para. 3.2, Steps A through C.

F . You will find the bracket locking device in the open

position shown in Figure 13, part A.

G . Make sure that the screw is loose enough to allow

shifting the lock down.

H . Shift the lock down as shown by the arrow to reach the

position viewed in part B and tighten the screw.

A. OPEN

B. CLOSED

I. Test the assembly by lightly pulling the cabinet away

from the wall. If correctly mounted, the cabinet will

adhere to the bracket.
Note: See Para. 5.1 for dismounting procedure.

3.7 Connecting the AC Transformer

CAUTION! Do not plug the transformer into the AC

outlet before completing all other wiring.
A. U.S.A. only: Remove the center screw from the AC

wall outlet.

B. Plug the transformer directly in - the Power LED of the

control panel should illuminate.

C. U.S.A. only: Use the screw removed in Step A above

to secure the transformer to the AC outlet. Tighten the

screw well.

D. The distance of the transformer from the system should

not exceed 150 ft using 18 AWG conductors.

For UL installations, do not connect to a receptacle
controlled by a switch.

3.8 PowerMax-Compatible Detectors

Each detector compatible with the PowerMax system is

packed with its own installation instructions. Read them

carefully and install as indicated.
A. PIR Motion Detectors

The wireless passive infrared (PIR) motion detectors used
in the system are of the PowerCode type. The PowerMax
