4 Reference & Installation Manual
battery charging is set at 700 mA, then only 1A is left for the auxiliary output. If the battery charging is set at 350mA, then 1.35A
is available for the AUX output, but with a maximum of 700mA per output.
2.3.4 Battery Test
The control panel conducts a dynamic battery test under load every 60 seconds. If the battery is disconnected, or its
capacity is too low, the [1] key in the trouble display mode will be on. Key [1] also comes "on" if the battery voltage
drops to 10.5 volts or less when the control panel is running on the back-up battery (no AC). At 8.5 volts, the panel
shuts down and all outputs close.
2.3.5 Keypad Function Test
We recommend conducting a "power-up" test on keypads installed far from the control panel. To do so temporarily
connect the keypads near the control panel and connect the transformer. After 10 seconds, begin entering random
commands on the keypad and verify that the keypad "beeps" in response to these commands. Then open a zone to
ensure that the keypad and the control panel are responding to these signals. If the keypad does not respond and
indicator lights do not illuminate, verify that approximately 16Vac is present at the "AC" terminals. If AC is present,
check the keypad wiring and verify there isn't a short between the "black" and "red" keypad wires. If the keypad does
not respond, please contact your local Paradox Distributor.
2.4 Telephone Line Connection
Connect the incoming telephone company wires into the tip and ring connections
of the control panel. Then run the wires from T-1 and R-1 to the telephone system
as shown in Figure 4.
2.5 Bell/Siren Output.
The BELL+ and BELL- terminals power bells and/or other warning devices requiring a steady
voltage output during an alarm. The bell output supplies 12Vdc upon alarm and can support
two 20-watt or two 30-watt sirens. The bell output is microprocessor-controlled and will
automatically shut down if the current exceeds 3A. If the load on the BELL terminals returns to
normal (≤3A), the control panel will re-instate power to the BELL terminals. When connecting
sirens (speakers with built-in siren drivers) please verify correct polarity. Connect the positive
lead to the BELL+ terminal and the negative lead to the BELL- terminal of the control panel as
shown in Figure 5. The Alarm Relay (optional), which is rated at 5A, can also be used to power
bells and/or other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output during an alarm (see
Figure 5). The Alarm Relay is activated (toggles to opposite state) whenever the local bell/
siren output is activated.
