About this Guide
This guide is a document for people who need to design or install Symmetry M2150 systems. The manual
gives:
• An overview of Symmetry and the M2150 hardware.
• Design, planning and installation advice.
• Test and maintenance procedures.
• System specifications.
It is recommended people new to M2150 read this guide.
It is assumed that you understand the basic concepts of security management and access control,
including the purpose of components such as card readers, monitor points, auxiliary outputs and door
releases. If you do not have this knowledge, read the introductory chapter of the Security Management
System User's Guide first.
In most cases, experienced installers should be able to install the M2150 equipment using only the
separate single-sheet installation instructions provided with each cabinet, board and module. However, this
document may also be needed to gain information about non-standard features.
It is assumed that installers are competent and understand general hardware installation practices.
