1. Introduction

Thank you for choosing iConnect wireless intruder control panel. This quick start

guide manual describes the main steps for installing and programming the iConnect

Control System using the keypad on the main unit.

2. System Installation

1. Open the main unit housing.

2. Place the rear main unit against the wall and mark the upper and lower

mounting holes.

Note

If required, mark the rear tampers' location. It is located behind the main board.

3. Install wall anchors in the appropriate positions

4. Thread the power cable through the wiring hole on the back cover and connect

the cable to the AC power input on the main board.

Caution

Do not apply AC power at this stage.

5. If required connect a network (IP) cable and/or insert a SIM card to the

GSM/GPRS module.

6. Connect the battery pack to the connector. If an alarm occurs, insert the master

user code number (default '1234') to silence the alarm.

7. Mount the control system to a wall.

8. Close the front cover and apply AC power.

Note

It is recommended to perform a system scan in order to verify the system configuration. A

system scan is performed from the main menu: '[9] Programming' > '[7] Initialize' > '[5]

Find Modules' > '√'. The generated list displays the recognized system elements. If an

element is not included in the list, check the wiring connections and run this scan again.

4. System Programming

4.1. Keys Menu Navigation

This manual explains how to program the iConnect from the keypad located either on

the main unit or on the LCD wireless keypad. Table 1 describes using the keypad keys

during programming.

'√' Enter / Save (to move into the displayed menu or to save the updated

data)

'X' Used to cancel the current selection or to return to the previous menu

/ To scroll up or down through the displayed menu options

[0]-[9] 1. To enter numeric values where required.

2. For quick key programming. Press the key number to access a

programming option.

3. To edit descriptors.

Table 1: Keypad usage

4.2. Enter Installer Programming mode

1. Go to the default display and press '√'.

2. Enter your installer code (default installer code is '1111').

3. Using the arrow keys, select '[9] Programming'.

4.3. Selecting a language

The iConnect supports multiple languages. For easy operation, select your language

as follows:

1. Go to the main menu select [9]>[7]>[1] (Programming > Initialize > Init All)

2. Select default and press '√'. Select language (Voice + LCD display) and press '√'.

4.4. Wireless Allocation

4.4.1. Main unit calibration

The first step in wireless allocation is to calibrate the main unit receiver. During the

calibration process the receiver selects the best RF channel according to the background

ʺnoiseʺ in the installation environment. This noise may be generated by other devices

operating on the same frequency nearby.

1. Go to the main menu select [9]>[1]>[8] >[1] (Programming > Devices > RF

Network > Establishment)

2. The iConnect scans several RF channels and selects the channel with lower

ʺnoise levelʺ. Once 'Save?' display appears, press '√' to confirm the channel

selection.

Notes

1. Main unit calibration must be done prior to wireless device allocation.

2. If required, after the channel is selected, you can calibrate the receiver again only after deleting

the network (quick keys: [9]>[1]>[8] >[3])=

4.4.2. Registering 2-way Wireless Devices

In order to recognize a 2-way device, the iConnect transmitter must be registered.

It is recommended to register all devices to the control panel before installing. To install

the wireless devices/accessories temporarily fit them in the desired locations, and then

perform a range test. Testing may show that you should relocate the panel or some of its

devices/accessories.

4.4.2.1. Detectors

The iConnect supports 34 security zones. Only one detector can be registered to each

zone. Zones 1-32 are intended for wireless detectors while zones 33 and 34 are on-board

hardwire zones.

Notes

1. The minimum distance between the detectors and the panel should be 1.5m.

2. Once a detector is deleted from the panel it must be followed by the deletion of the panel in the

detector. If this is not done, it will lead to an "out of Sync" situation by design

Step 1: Register a detector

1. Go to the main menu select [9]>[1]>[1] (Programming > Devices > Zones)

2. Using the arrow keys, select a specific zone and press '√'. The system initiates

Registration mode.

3. Send a transmission from the detector using the following method:

 Open the detector's housing (tamper should be open)

 Apply battery power. The detector will send a transmission. If the transmission

is successfully received by the system it will play a confirmation sound. If no

confirmation sound is heard send another transmission by pressing and

releasing the tamper switch of the device.

4. After the detector is successfully registered the display shows: 'Save?'.

Press '√' to confirm and continue entering other parameters for the chosen

device (see section below). It is possible to press 'X' to go back and enroll

additional zones.

Step 2: Set detector's parameters

1. Go to the main menu select [9]>[1]>[1] (Programming > Devices > Zones)

2. Using the arrow keys select a specific zone and press '√'.

3. Set the main parameters for each zone, according to the Table 2.

quick key 9>1>1>11

4. If required scroll thorough the other menu parameters and modify settings as

warranted.

Step 3: Detectors Test

1. Go to the main display and press '√'.

2. Enter the installer code (default code '1111').

3. Select [7]>[04]>[2] (Service > Transmitters > TX Test) to initiate the TX

communication test. This test enables to identify transmitters and test their

signal strength.

4. Activate the transmitter you wish to test; the transmitter’s details appear on

the iConnect LCD. As a result, a sequence of tones is heard indicating the

transmitter’s signal strength.

Signal Strength Tones

1 - Low 1 Tone

2 - Average 2 Tones

3 - Good 3 Tones

4 – Excellent 4 Tones

Note

If the signal strength is less than

2, move the transmitter to a

better locationK
