GENERAL
1.0 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The ARROWHEAD Model AV9000 is an eight zone control panel/
digital communicator alarm system. The AV9000 can be custom
tailored for each installation by programming an Electrically Erasable
Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM) which is included with
the system. Programming can be accomplished using the EKP1
or EKP1L keypads, or ScanPro Downloader software. For com-
plete information concerning programmable features and use of
the keypad to enter data and commands into the EEPROM, see
Sections II and III of the AV9000 Programming Instructions.
NOTE: The system will not work without
a programmed EEPROM.

1.1 INSTALLATION -
CAUTION
-
1. Do not short terminals 3(Aux-), 7(KPD-), 8(Bell-) to 4(Aux+)
or 5(KPD+) or Auxiliary Output Fuse will blow.
2. Do not connect battery until installation is complete.
3. Do not apply power until after Step 13.
4. Reversing battery leads will result in permanent damage
to the unit and will void the warranty.
1. Mount control panel in a convenient location.
2. Mount EKP1 or EKP1L Keypad. The EKP1 keypad may be either
surface mounted or flush mounted on to a double gang box. The
EKP1 and EKP1L keypads may also be mounted directly onto the
wall using appropriate hardware (not supplied).
3. For single bell operation, connect a 12.5 V Bell or Siren to termi-
nals 8(-) and 9(+). Observe polarity. Output is steady for burglary,
pulsed for fire. (See programing note in Section III Step 40)
4. For dual bell operation, connect a 12.5 V BELL or Siren to termi-
nals 8(-) and 10(+) and a 12.5 V Fire Bell or Siren to terminals 8(-)
and 9(+). Observe polarity. Make sure EEPROM memory locations
141 and 142 are programmed as blanks for dual bell operation.
5. Unswitched 12.5 V is available at terminals 3(-) and 4(+) for aux-
iliary devices.
6. If a smoke detector is used, its 12.5 V power should be supplied
through terminal 4(+ 12.5 V) and its negative connected to terminal
11 (smoke-). This 12.5 V source will be interrupted for approximately
5 seconds during smoke reset.
The smoke detector output may be manually reset by simulta-
neously pressing keys 1 & 3 when a “7” is selected in Memory Loca-
tion 206. A 1 or 5 must not be programmed in Location 207.
7. Connect the eight (8) input zones to terminals 13-24. Make sure
to use the supplied END OF LINE resistors as shown in Figure 1.
The AV9000 can be programmed not to use end of line resistors (if
required). This is done in item 61, location 205.
NOTE:UL Fire installations require use of EOL2200 resistors
(not supplied). Closed circuit loops are wired in series with the
resistor, open circuit loops are wired parallel to the resistor.
8. If keyswitch operation is desired, connect a UL listed Momen-
tary normally open switch between terminals 12 (+) and 8 (-). A
keypad must be used with the keyswitch in UL applications. See
section 1.10
9. Connect the F.C.C. approved telephone connection cable to ter-
minals 25, 27, 28, and 29 as shown in Figure 1. Insulate all unused
leads.
THE CABLE MUST BE PHYSICALLY SEPARATED FROM
POWER AND SIGNAL LINES.
10. Connect EKP1 or EKP1L to AV9000. Red lead to terminal 5.
Yellow lead to terminal 6. Black lead to terminal 7. Refer to the EKP1
or EKP1L User’s Manual for complete instructions regarding installa-
tion and options. WIRES CONNECTING EKP1 or EKP1L to AV9000
MUST BE KEPT AWAY FROM A.C. AND TELCO WIRING TO MINI-
MIZE TRANSIENT PROBLEMS. There can be no more than four
keypads per panel. Current draw for the EKP1 and EKP1L keypads
is 100ma each. Homerun all keypad cables. The maximum length of
a cable run to a keypad is 300 feet based on 22 gage wire.
11. Connect Terminal 26 and Cabinet to an EARTH GROUND.
NOTE: 1) Suggested earth ground and protection levels are:
a) Preferred protection - Separate metal
grounding rod.
b) Acceptable Protection - Metal cold water pipe.
2) Use at least 16 gauge wire between terminal 26
and earth ground.
3) Keep wire run as short as possible and away from
other panel wiring.
4) Do not use an existing lightning rod ground; it can
provide a path for lightning strikes to panel.
12. Check all connections, verifying polarity.
13. Connect the transformer to terminals 1 and 2. Use 18 gage wire
to connect the transformer to the control panel. Polarity is not impor-
tant.
14. Plug the transformer into an unswitched 120VAC receptacle.
The indicators on the EKP1 or EKP1L should light.
15. Connect the BLACK FLYING LEAD to the negative (-) terminal of
a 12-volt, rechargeable gel-type battery. Connect the RED FLYING
LEAD to the positive (+) terminal of the battery. NOTE: A reverse
battery connection will blow the factory replaceable Fuse and
will void the warranty. If the battery is not fully charged, allow 36
hours for battery to reach full charge.
16. Program the EEPROM for the desired system configuration and
features. Refer to the AV9000 Programming Instructions (Sections II
and III) for proper procedures. After programming is completed, exit
the programming mode using the instructions in section 2.1.
17. Plug the telephone connection cable into an RJ31-X jack which
meets the mechanical tolerance and plating requirements specified
in subpart F of FCC part 68.
18. The system may now be Disarmed and Armed from the EKP1 or
EKP1L, using the (Factory Programmed) Access Code 1111.
Leave system Disarmed.
