RS232 module to an already installed PowerMax system:
A. Detach the cabinet from the bracket (see Para. 5.1)
B. Remove the factory installed plastic cap by sliding it out

along the grooves as shown in Figure 27.

C. Align the RS232 module with the grooves and the

module catches as shown in Figure 28.

D. Push the module all the way in, making sure that the

4-pin socket mates with the 4-pin header at the bottom.

Note: When the module is properly seated, the module
catches pushed aside during insertion will spring back into
place above the top edge of the module.
E. Prepare an RS-232 flat modular cable and terminate it

with a 6-position RJ-11 plug at the PowerMax end.

Terminations at the computer’s end may vary.

F. Mate the plug with the RJ-11 socket and bend the cable

backward to route it out via the wiring channel.

  G .  Re-attach the control panel to the bracket, as

instructed in Para. 3.6.

Attention: For data download from a local computer, the
PowerMax must be set to the installer mode.

3.11 Installing an Optional X-10 Siren

(not to be used in UL-listed systems)
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 Power-
Max. 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.
Unit Code: The siren will function only if you set the unit
code selector to “1”.

4. TESTING PROCEDURES

4.1 Preparations

Make sure all windows and doors are closed. If all zones
are secured (undisturbed), the display should read:

H H : M M

If the system is “NOT READY”, query the control panel by

pressing the <SHOW/OK> button repeatedly. The

source(s) of the problem(s) will be displayed and read

aloud. Take the necessary measures to eliminate the

problem(s) before testing the system (see 4.2 below).

4.2 Diagnostic Test

A comprehensive diagnostic test is required for two
reasons:
 •   To verify proper function of all detectors in the system.

 •   To assure that there is a safe 6 dB margin for signal

reception.

To perform this test, you must access item No. 8 in the
installer’s menu exactly as done when programming the
control panel:
A. Click the <NEXT> button until the display reads:

B. Click <OK> to select the installer’s menu. The control

panel will prompt you for the installer code.

C. Enter the valid installer code (9

#

#

#

9)  or the new

installer code that you already programmed. The
“Happy Tune” (- - - ––––) will sound if the code is
correct and the display will change to:

D. Click <NEXT> or <BACK> until the number and name

of the desired mode are displayed:

E. Carry on as in Section 9 of the programming guide.

4.3 Keyfob Transmitter Test

Initiate transmission from each transmitter enrolled as a
keyfob unit (according to the list in Table A2, Appendix A).
Use each transmitter to arm the control panel AWAY and
immediately disarm it. Upon pressing the keyfob unit’s
AWAY key, the ARM indicator should light, and the display
should respond as follows:

$

The exit delay beeps will begin.
Press the keyfob unit’s DISARM ( ) key. The ARM
