Connect one end of a heavy gauge wire (12 gauge solid recom-
mended) to a known good earth ground. Keep the distance from the
earth ground as short as possible, with no sharp bends.
Strip the other end of the earth ground wire and crimp it into the lug
supplied in the installation kit. Secure the lug, along with the Base
Module Earth Ground lead to the chassis stud located on the left side
of the chassis. Tighten the screw, ensuring all wires make good
connection.
NOTE: Also connect the Earth Ground leads of all other
optional modules installed inside the chassis to the
chassis earth ground stud.
The earth ground provides the modules protection against static
electrical shocks and high power surges. It also provides a conve-
nient earth ground connection for lightning protection.
Bonding Signal Grounds
The signal ground of all interconnected modules must always be
bonded together. Bonding the signal grounds of interconnected
modules greatly reduces communication problems and lightning
damage.
The bonding conductor should follow the data bus (RS-485)
wherever it goes. You can accomplish this using a spare wire inside
an interconnecting cable, the cable’s drain wire, or a shield of the
individually twisted pair, individually shielded RS-485 data cable.
Convenient Base Module signal ground connections can be found at
on J5 pins 1, 19 and 20 labeled “GND” (this is
NOT Earth Ground).
If using a cable’s foil shield for bonding, terminate the shield to a
short length of uninsulated 22 AWG wire before punching down to
an unused GND pin.
NOTE: See each module’s installation instructions for the
appropriate bonding connections.
BASE MODULE PRE-INSTALLATION TEST
CAUTION!
WHEN PLUGGING IN THE TRANSFORMER, A SHORT
ON A BASE MODULE 12 VOLT LINE CAN BLOW THE
TRANSFORMER. ALWAYS USE BATTERY POWER
TO PERFORM THE PRE-INSTALLATION TEST.
If the Base Module cannot pass this test, replace it and test the new
unit. Do this test with no telephone or field wiring connections and
only battery power applied.
1. Set the LCD plus keypad’s internal jumper to address #1.
2. Connect the LCD plus keypad ground and power to Base Module
J2 pins 1 and 6 respectively.
3. Connect the LCD keypad DATA+ and DATA- to Base Module
J4 pins 1 and 2 respectively.
4. Place the Base Module TEST/OPER switch (S1) in the TEST
position.
5. Power the panel up by carefully plugging the battery leads to the
backup battery(s). The Black lead connects to the negative
terminals of the 12VDC batteries. Connect the Red lead to the
positive battery terminals.
6. If within 5 seconds a “SETUP MODE” message appears on the
LCD display, the Base Module is probably operational.
7. Power the panel down by carefully unplugging the battery leads
from the backup battery(s).

WIRING
Throughout these procedures refer to the Installation Diagram shown
in Figure 7.
NOTE: Before installing a UL Certified Fire System read and
understand the requirements in chapter two (residential)
or chapter three (commercial) of NFPA 72, “National
Fire Alarm Code.”
BATTERY WIRING
To supply the minimum required backup power in case of AC power
loss, install the 12VDC, 7AH, sealed lead acid battery(s) inside the
enclosure. For UL Fire installations, use the fused battery leads and
the second 7 AH battery from the ULF Install Kit.
Connect the Black lead to J1 pin 3 (labeled BAT-) and the Red lead
to J1 pin 4 (labeled BAT+) . Connect the Black lead to the negative
terminal of the 12VDC battery(s) and connect the Red lead to the
positive battery(s) terminal.
Observe polarity when making the battery connections. Connecting
the leads backward can overheat the power supply.
WARNING!
UNLESS OTHERWISE INSTRUCTED,
DO NOT
CONNECT THE BATTERY(S) UNTIL ALL
WIRING IS COMPLETE.
BASE MODULE J2 WIRING
“GND” and “+12V” and (J2 Pins 1-4 and 6-9)
Base Module J2 pins 1 through 4 (labeled GND) and J2 pins 6
through 9 (labeled +12V) serve as un-switched +12VDC auxiliary
power connections for optional devices.
These current limited outputs can supply up to 1,600mA of current
for optional devices.
NOTE: UL requires that at least one LCD plus keypad be
powered directly from the Base Module. This LCD
plus keypad can display module down status if modules
lose power.
Bell (J2 Pins 11 and 12)
Base Module J2 pins 11 and 12 (labeled BELL- and + respec-
tively) are the connections for bells, horns or combination horn/
strobes operating on 12 VDC up to 1,500 mA (1.5 Amps). Select the
bell or DC option if a siren has a built-in driver.
Observe polarity when connecting wires.
Table 2 lists audible and visual devices that are compatible with
Advantage plus.
