12. Install Takeover Module

DESCRIPTION

The ISEC-WL-MODULE is a " takeover module" , used to

convert an existing wired security system to wireless. The

ISEC-WL-MODULE will convert a total of 8 wired zones

and convert them into 8 supervised wireless 900MHz zones.

For example, if you have existing wired security system sen-

sors such as motion detectors, glass break sensors and door/

window transmitters, you can use the existing wiring for each

of these devices and convert them into iSecure system wire-

less zones. Up to 4 ISEC-WL-MODULEs are allowed with

each Go-Anywhere Smart Hub. Note: For existing 2-wire

smoke detectors, the ISEC-2WF-MOD 2-Wire Fire Sensor

Module may be used if the detectors are compatible (see page

36 for the list of compatible detectors and additional infor-

mation). Note: Pressing the keypad RESET button sends an

updated zone status and module status from the ISEC-WL-

MODULE to the Hub. In addition, LED1 turns on for 10

seconds. In addition, remove power from smoke detectors for

10 seconds to reset. See page 54 for full programming infor-

mation.

WIRING

In general, the first step for wiring the ISEC-WL-MODULE is

to connect all of the Zone data wires to a mounted and unpow-

ered ISEC-WL-MODULE. Only after all zone and other wir-

ing is connected should you then power the ISEC-WL-

MODULE using either the existing wired 12VDC power

connections from the existing security control panel or by an

auxiliary power supply.

Connect the high side (positive) of each wired zone to its own

screw terminal, labeled Z1, Z2, etc. on the ISEC-WL-

MODULE terminal strip. Note that several sensors can be

wired to a single zone provided they are wired in series. Con-

nect the low side (negative) of each wired zone to any of the

ground terminals (labeled GND next to each zone terminal).

After all zone wires are connected, connect the battery 12V

positive lead to the BATT+ terminal on the ISEC-WL-

MODULE. Connect the battery ground lead to any GND

terminal. After the battery is connected, then connect the 12V

positive regulated control panel (or auxiliary supply) power to

the +12V terminal followed by the negative ground connection

to any GND terminal.

Wire all zone and power connections using 18-22AWG wire.

Install end-of-line resistors on all zones, even if one or more

zones are not used.

Note: If battery voltage falls below the minimum level, a

battery trouble is triggered; if the voltage climbs above the

minimum level, the trouble will restore 30 seconds after press-

ing the keypad RESET button. If RESET is not pressed, the

battery trouble will self-restore in 4 hours if the battery voltage

always remains above the minimum level during this time.

TERMINAL DESCRIPTIONS

Configure all inputs and outputs using the Management Center

(the Napco "NOC" located at www.iSecureByNapco.com).

Located at the bottom of the PC board, the 20 terminals are

described as follows:

EARTH ... This optional earth ground terminal provides protec-

tion from high-voltage transients (for example, near-

by lightning discharges induce high-voltage transi-

ents into the field wiring of electronic equipment).

Therefore, connect this terminal to a metal cold-

water pipe or a long steel (or copper) ground rod

driven deeply into the earth. Do not use a gas pipe,

plastic pipe or AC ground connections. Use at least

16-gauge wire. Make the run as short and direct as

possible, without any sharp bends in the wire.

16VAC

SUPV ..... (Left terminal; some PC boards may indicate "AC" or

"ACL") Non-polarized 16VAC terminal used for

monitoring AC (for supervision only, not power).

Connect to AC power source terminal (power supply

or Hub power).

(Right terminal; some PC boards may indicate "AC"

or "ACN") Non-polarized 16VAC terminal used for

monitoring AC. Connect to AC power source termi-

nal (power supply or Hub power).

+12V ....... +12 volts DC to power the ISEC-WL-MODULE.

Connect this terminal to the Hub + Auxiliary Power

terminal or to the +12VDC terminal of the dedicated

power supply

GND‒ ..... Common ground terminal for all sensors (all GND

terminals are electrically equivalent). Therefore,

connect the low side (negative) lead of each wired

zone to the GND terminal next to each zone terminal

(labeled Z1, Z2, etc.).

In addition, for the purpose of powering the ISEC-

WL-MODULE, connect this terminal to the Hub

(‒) Auxiliary Power or to the (‒) 12VDC of the dedi-

cated power supply.

Z1+

- Z8+ ....... Connect the high side (positive) lead of each wired

zone to its own screw terminal, labeled Z1, Z2, etc.,

for each zone 1 through 8, respectively.

F PWR .... Fire Reset (output). Pressing RESET on a system

keypad causes this output to change state (on to off,

off to on) for 10 seconds. Typically used to create a

power output for latching 4-wire smoke detectors

and similar devices that require power to be re-

moved for reset. May also be used on door latches

that normally require power, thus power is removed

on a "Fire Alarm" event.

Some PC boards may

indicate "AC" and "AC"

or "ACL" and "ACN"
