INSTALLATION PLANNING GUIDE AND CHECKLIST

Installation of the system involves mounting and wiring the control panel, configuring the system,

and finally performing a thorough system test. The various steps involved are outlined below.

First-time users are well advised to configure a simple system on the bench using one or two LEMs

to become fully familiar with the operation of the APLEX control panel's features before attempting

to install a system at a site.

1. MOUNT THE PANEL AND WIRE THE SYSTEM

Read the section on pages 8 and 9 describing the mounting of the panel and wiring of the system.

This section contains important information concerning cable type and length, LEM location, and

various other installation rules and restrictions.

2. INITIALIZE THE LEMS

When all the LEMs are connected and the wiring has been checked, you may now have the panel

perform a check of the LEM line and a count of the number of zones (two per D-LEM or COMBO

LEM or four per Q-LEM) that it sees responding. This process is referred to as LEM-LINE

INITIALIZATION and is described on page 35. If the system shows ILLEGAL LEM NUMBER,

or ON-LINE 0 --> 0, or something similar to AREA-1 3 = 22, then refer to page 36.

3. CHECK LEM ANALOGUE VALUES

Select the SERVICE MODE mode (see page 43) and then the SINGLE-ZONE MONITOR option.

Check the analogue values for all inputs on the system. Refer to page 45 for details on the analogue

values. If the analogue values are incorrect, refer to page 44 for help with trouble-shooting.

4. SET ZONE DESCRIPTIONS, ZONE TYPES, VARIABLES

Refer to page 47 and select the ASSIGN ZONES/VARIABLES function. This function allows a

text description of each zone to be entered, allows each zone number to be assigned a zone type

(e.g., EXIT-1, AREA-1, PANIC, etc.), and allows all the system variables to be set (e.g., Exit-1

Time, Bell Time, etc.).

5. SET USER IDENTIFICATION CODES, OPTIONS, NAMES

L The system can have up to 248 general users. Each user can be assigned an identification (ID) code

and his or her name can be stored in the panel. In addition, every user can be assigned any number

of system options, including arming, disarming, shunting, setting the time, etc. Refer to page 45 for

details on this function.
