📦 What's in the box
Olarm MAX
Internal Power Supply Lid
Super Capacitor With A JST Connecter *Model Dependent
4x Wall Plugs & Screws
2x Enclosure Locking Key
Reversible Peripheral Cable
🛠️ Installation tools required
Drill with a 5mm bit
Phillips-head screwdriver
Flat-head screwdriver
Wire stripper or side cutters
Cable for peripheral wiring (4 Core or 6 Core Comms Cable, 2 core Twin Flex or Ripcord)
Requirements
An Olarm MAX G is required for this installation.
If the Honeywell Galaxy G2 system has an existing Ethernet Module and a third Keypad, these must be removed before installing the Olarm MAX, as it will take their place.
Before proceeding with the installation, check the system and remove the following if present:
Ethernet Module
Keypad 3
Connecting the Olarm Max
Before connecting the Olarm MAX, ensure that you power down your alarm system.
Cut and strip both sides of the reversible peripheral cable. Wire one end of the stripped peripheral cable into the terminals found on the back of the Olarm MAX. And wire the other end of the stripped peripheral cable to the Honeywell Galaxy G2 keypad terminals. You can then power up your alarm system.
See the diagram below for visual reference:
