4. INSTALLATION GUIDANCE
An intruder alarm system can be
broken down into four major
parts:
1. Control Panel and Keypads
2. Detectors
3. Sounders and other
outputs
4. Communications
We recommend that the
installation is carried out in these
four steps, and that each stage is
tested before proceeding to the
next.
This manual provides the
necessary information to install
the system and carry out the
principal
programming
functions
For most installations, we
recommend that you
change only the options
highlighted in this basic
manual.
The full Engineer’s Manual
explains these options in
additional detail, as well as
providing details of the
additional facilities available
when the ‘MSX Card’ is fitted.
NOTES:
1. Connections should NOT be
made to equipment whilst it is
powered up!
2. Please ensure that the power
supply of the Control
equipment is adequate for the
system it is intended to power
from it. If appropriate, select a
unit with a larger power
supply, or include additional
power supplies in the system
specification.

WIRING SPECIFICATION
The following specifications must be observed when
installing Euro-MERiDIAN alarm systems:
A: General Principles:
1 Routing: NO alarm system cable should be run with other cables carrying
AC or digital signals
2 Insulation: Protect by the use of grommets, etc. where appropriate.
3 Specifications: The following specifications for cable types and distances are
important for reliable operation.
B: RS-485 Wiring (Keypad, etc. connections):
1 Cores 4
-
core minimum. Use of 6
-
core and doubling up supply cores is
beneficial to minimise volt drop, but NEVER double
communications connections (D3
-
4).
2 Cable type: Twisted pair, eg
9502 (screened)
or Belden 9744 (unscreened)
3 Wiring format: Parallel,
‘
daisy
-
chained.
’
4 Cable length: Overall network max 1 Km.
5 Termination: Extreme end points fitted with 470
Ω
resistors between D3 / D4 if
exceeds 20m.
C: End of Line Zone Wiring
1 Cores 4
-
core
2 Cable type: Standard alarm cable; screened if required by environment.
3 Wiring format: Detectors wired using EoL resistors, mounted at detector.
4 Cable length: Max 1 Km per detector.
D: iD PLUS Wiring
1 Cable type: Screened. 4
-
core minimum. Doubling up supply cores will
minimise volt drop to detectors. Doubling of iD cores is also
possible. Spare cores should be earthed to prevent AC noise.
2 Wiring format: Any parallel format, except
‘
ring main
’
loops.
3 Termination
0.01
µ
F capacitor between iD+/- at end of each cable run.
4 Cable length: Max 100 metres for any cable run.
5 Biscuit location: Must be wired directly to detector terminals.
If it is impossible to locate the biscuit in this way, a
‘
DP
’
junction box must be used.
6 Checks: All commissioning checks must be performed and recorded.
7 Warning: In some situations, especially take
-
over sites using existing
wiring, iD technology may not be suitable.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd cannot be held responsible for problems
arising from failure to follow this specification
