Installation

Veritas 8, 8C & R8 Installation Manual

3. Installation
Installation Sequence
Before attempting to install the alarm system, read this section. Once you have an overall understanding of the installation sequence, carefully work through each step.

Control Panel
Mounting the Control Panel Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall using at least three appropriate screws. The rear casing has been designed with a central key-hole slot so that mounting is possible without removing the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The angled slot in the lower corner has been provided to allow the panel to be levelled easily. If the PCB has to be removed, carefully pull back the two front PCB securing clips, lift the front of the PCB and slide it downward. To replace the PCB simply reverse the above procedure.

1. Design the Layout
Make a rough sketch of the premises to get an idea of where the alarm detection devices, keypads etc. are to be located.

2. Mounting the Panel
The control panel should be mounted in a dry area close to an unswitched AC power source.

!"

You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery or applying AC mains to the control panel.

!"

It is essential to ensure that none of the fixing slots or cable entries are accessible after fixing.

3. Installing the Keypads
Mount and connect the keypads to the control panel (see page 9 for wiring details).

Mains cabling must be secured (e.g. with a cable tie) to one of the anchor points provided. Wiring the Control Panel

4. Installing the Alarm Detection Devices
Install the detection devices, PIR's, Contacts, PA Buttons etc. and connect them to the control panel (see page 10).

5. Install the External Sounder
Install the external sounder and connect to the control panel (see page 13).

BEFORE connecting the control panel ALWAYS disconnect the supply at the consumer unit. If in ANY doubt consult a qualified electrician.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION. #" HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES INSIDE, NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS, NO USER ACCESS.

WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL

6. Other Wiring
Complete all other wiring i.e. speakers etc. (see pages 12 for wiring details).

7. Applying Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 6 are completed, power can be applied to the control panel.

!"
· ·

If you need to load the factory default settings (see page 14).

!"

ONLY connect the mains supply to the mains terminal block, NEVER connect the mains supply directly to the PCB.

Power should always be connected in the following order: Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of the battery and then connect the black battery lead to the negative terminal. Connect the AC mains.

ALWAYS refer to National Wiring Regulations when conducting installation. An appropriate and readily accessible disconnection device (e.g. an unswitched fused spur) MUST be provided as part of the installation. The disconnection device must NOT be fitted in a flexible cord. Where identification of the neutral in the mains supply is NOT possible a two-pole disconnection device MUST be used. The building mains supply MUST incorporate appropriate short-circuit backup protection (e.g. a fuse or circuit breaker) of High Breaking Capacity (HBC, at least 1500A). Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for the rated current (i.e. at least 0.75mm2).

8. Programming the Control Panel
Please refer to section 4 for instruction on programming the control panel.

9. Testing the System
Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions operate as required (see page 19).

Veritas 8, 8C & R8 Installation Manual Connecting AC Mains The AC Mains supply is connected to a 3 way `Euro Type' fused terminal block, which is fitted with a fuse (see page 27).

Installation

Cable Distances The maximum recommended distance for devices when using standard 7/0.2 alarm cable is:

!"

All other wiring MUST be carried out before AC mains is connected to the control panel.

· ·

100m for each branch when using the star (parallel) configuration When using a daisy chain (series) configuration the maximum distance will depend on the number of devices connected on the chain. The more devices that are connected, the shorter the distance to the last device (this is due to voltage drop in the cable)

After connecting the AC Mains, fit the mains cover, this can be found in the spares bag.
FUSE L
To transformer

E N

Whichever method of wiring configuration is used, ensure that the voltage between the `+' and `­' terminals at each device is no lower than 10.0V when the system is running on the standby battery. Keypad Addressing Each keypad MUST be given a different address using the DIP switch on the PCB as follows:
Address 1 DIP 1 N/A DIP 2 Off DIP 3 Off DIP 4 Off
1 2 3 4

Connecting Batteries Up to one 12V 2.1Ah battery can be fitted inside a Veritas 8Compact and up to one 12V 7Ah battery can be fitted inside a Veritas 8 or R8 control panel to provide continued operation in the event of an AC mains failure.

NEVER set two RKPs to the same address. Keypads are factory set to Address 1. If the keypad is powered but offline (i.e. T and R not connected) it will display its address. If an invalid address is selected, the keypad will sound an error tone.

Installing Remote Keypads
A maximum of 6 remote keypads can be connected to the keypad network. The Veritas 8, Veritas 8Compact and the Veritas R8 only supports LED keypads. The networks are made up of four terminals incorporating power and data. To ensure correct operation, all four terminals on the device must be connected to the corresponding terminals on the control panel, or previous keypad. The table below shows each terminal and its description:
Terminal + T R Description +12V Supply 0V Supply Transmit Data Receive Data

Configuring the Keypads When the system is powered up it automatically checks and configures all connected keypads. It is strongly recommended that the system is completely powered down (mains and battery) before wiring a keypad. If a keypad is added without removing power then it must be configured (see page 21).

!"

If an RKP is configured but off-line, the system will have a tamper fault.

Devices can be connected using 4-core cable. However, it is recommended that 6 or 8-core cable is used as the spare cores can be used to `Double Up' on the power connections if needed.

!"

Standard 7/0.2 alarm cable can be used for most installations. However, under certain conditions it may be necessary to use screened cable.

Zone Connections
Detection devices such as PIR's, Door Contacts, PA Buttons etc. are all connected to the 8 zone terminals on the Veritas R8 Plus and Veritas Excel control panel.

!"

If a zone is not being used it should be either linked out or disabled (see page 25).

Magnetic Contacts and Panic Buttons These are connected to one of the eight terminal pairs labelled Z1 to Z8 on the control panel.

Figure 1 - Wiring Magnetic Contacts

Figure 1a - Wiring a Single Magnetic Contact to a Zone (see also Figure 3).

Figure 1b - Wiring Multiple Magnetic Contacts to a Zone (see also Figure 3).

Veritas 8, 8C & R8 Installation Manual Powered Detectors

Installation

Always consult the manufacturer's connection instructions. Powered detectors are connected to one of the eight terminal pairs labelled Z1 to Z8 on the control panel and are powered from the two terminals labelled AUX on the control panel as follows:
Terminal AUX+ AUXConnect To Detector Positive Supply (+12V) Detector Negative Supply (0V) Suggested Colour White Green

Figure 2 - Wiring Powered Detectors

Figure 2a - Wiring a Single Powered Detector to a Zone (see also Figure 3).

Figure 2b - Wiring Multiple Powered Detectors to a Zone (see also Figure 3).

!"

Power is wired in parallel, whereas normally closed alarm loops are wired in series, (normally open alarm loops are wired in parallel).

Mixing powered detectors and magnetic contacts on one zone is easiest if the wiring is taken from the control panel to the powered detectors first. BS 4737 requires that if two or more powered detectors are connected to one zone, they must each have an audible or visual latching indication or both, except on an entry/exit route.

Veritas 8, 8C & R8 Installation Manual

Global System Tamper
This is connected to the terminal pair labelled TAMP on the control panel. All the individual zone tamper loops should be wired in series.

Figure 3 - Wiring the Global System Tamper

!"

The control panel is supplied with a link fitted across the Global System Tamper to simulate a closed circuit. This link would usually be removed during installation.

Speaker Connections
This output can be used for driving up to one 16 or two 8 loudspeakers as shown below:

!"

The total load including the built-in speaker must not be less than 16 (e.g. 1 x 16 speaker, 2 x 8 speakers in series, etc.).

The polarity of extension speakers is usually unimportant, however, the polarity of the L/S terminals is indicated by a + and -.

Internal Siren(s)
If required these are connected to two of the external sounder connections, in addition to the external sounder, as follows:
Terminal A B Connect To Siren Positive Supply (+12V) Siren Negative Activate/Negative Supply (0V)

Veritas 8, 8C & R8 Installation Manual

Installation Popular SAB Wiring Diagrams The following diagrams illustrate how to connect the control panel to the most popular makes of SAB:

Wiring the External Sounder
Always consult the manufacturer's connection instructions. The external sounder and strobe are connected to the five terminals labelled SAB on the control panel as follows:
Terminal A B C D S Description Permanent Positive Supply (+12V) Switched Negative to Activate Sounder Negative Tamper Return Permanent Negative Supply (0V) Switched Negative to Activate Strobe

Figure 5 - Common SAB Connections

Figure 4 - Typical SAB Connections Figure 5a - Texecom Azura 360/Tempest/Odyssey.

!"

An external sounder is often referred to as a 'bell' or 'bell-box' even when it is actually an electronic siren.

Figure 5b - MAS Modular 3.

The control panel is supplied with a link fitted across the Bell Tamper to simulate a closed circuit. This link would usually be removed during installation. If the strobe is a separate unit take the strobe positive supply from 'A' as well. A self-activating bell/sounder (SAB) has a built-in battery. After connecting this battery the sounder may sometimes sound until its cover is fitted and it is supplied with power from the control panel. Terminal B may be programmed as switched negative removed rather than switched negative applied to activate sounder (see page 21). This is useful for SCBs where B would then be used to provide the permanent negative supply.
