Chapter 2 Mounting and Wiring
This chapter covers the installation and wiring of the LightSYS2 main unit. Due to its
modularity, the specific component assembly will depend on your system configuration. The
following assembly is presented in the recommended order.
LightSYS2 installation steps
The following workflow illustrates the recommended method for installing the LightSYS2. A
detailed description is provided in the following sections of the manual.
1. Create an installation plan.
2. Mount the LightSYS2 to the wall.
3. Plug in the AC adaptor and main board inside the LightSYS2 enclosure.
4. Wire the main panel (zones, outputs etc.).
5. Connect telephone line.
6. Plug in communication modules.
7. Allocate and connect bus expansion modules.
8. Set dipswitches and jumpers on the main board and on the various expanders.
9. Connect backup battery and AC power.
10. Perform automatic setting and complete system programming.
Choosing the mounting location
Before you mount the LightSYS, study the premises carefully in order to choose the exact
location of the unit for the best possible coverage and yet easily accessible to expanders and
accessories and prospective users of the alarm system. Among the mounting location
considerations are the following:
Centrality of location among all the transmitters.
Proximity to
o An uninterrupted AC outlet.
o A communication (telephone/internet) outlet.
Distance from sources of interference, such as:
o
Direct heat sources
o Electrical noise such as computers, televisions etc.
o Large metal objects, which may shield the antenna.
Alarm location effectiveness for hearing part arming mode annunciation
Dryness
(In case you installed GSM / GPRS module before mounting the system into the
desired position) Ensure a good signal of the GSM network (Advisable to have a
level of at least 4 out of 5).
