control panel is supplied with 3 instruction manuals:
The PowerMax
Installation Instructions (this manual - for your exclusive use)
Programming Guide (for your exclusive use)
User's Guide (for your use during installation only. Must be given to the master user after testing).
Appendices A and B to the installation instructions will help you prepare an installation plan. Please take
time to fill out the forms - your job will become much easier and confusion will be prevented. Filling out
the forms will also help you create a list of detectors and transmitters that must be obtained for the
particular application. Compatible detectors and transmitters are listed and described briefly in
Paragraphs 3.8 and 3.9 of this manual.
Remember - it is advisable to power up the control panel temporarily after unpacking and program it on
the work bench, in accordance with the programming plan. Programming may then be carried out -
Paragraph 3.3 of this manual refers you to the programming guide.
The programming flow charts in the programming guide show all options available for each parameter.
Factory defaults are marked with a dark box to their right, and other options (those that can be selected
instead) are marked by clear boxes. This method allows you to put a checkmark in the appropriate clear
box whenever you deviate from the factory defaults.
Although time and date are considered user settings, we recommend that you set the time and date in
the course of programming. Access to the "User Settings" is possible through item 9 on the installer's
menu (see User's manual for exact procedure).
When you are through programming, proceed to install the system as detailed in the Installation
Instructions, from paragraph 3.4 onward.
