2.3 About this guide
The information contained in this guide is organized into three sections: Table of Contents, Introduction, and
Installation.
• The Table of Contents at the front of this guide lists all of the headings and subheadings used throughout
each section. To the right of each heading is the section number where the information can be found.
• The Introduction section gives you an overview of the various components that go into an XR5 system
and diagrams some typical system configurations. This section gives descriptions of the panel, keypads,
and accessory modules and provides details on how each of them operate together in the system.
• The Installation section begins with mounting instructions for the enclosure and takes you through the
proper way to power up the panel prior to programming.
Caution notes
Throughout this guide you'll see caution notes containing information you need to know when installing the XR5
panels. These cautions are written in bold italics and are followed by a detailed description of the caution. See
the example shown below:
Always ground the panel before applying power to any devices: The XR5 panels must be properly
grounded before connecting any devices or applying power to the panel. Proper grounding protects against
Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) that can damage system components.
Whenever you see a caution note, make sure you completely read and understand its information. Failing to
follow the caution note can cause damage to the equipment or improper operation of one or more components in
the system.
