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

The Olarm MAX behaves as two modules on the RS485 bus. If these modules already exist on the system, they will need to be removed.

Ethernet Module - The ethernet module will need to be removed
Keypad Number 3 - The third keypad will need to be removed.

Connecting the Olarm Max

Before connecting the Olarm MAX, ensure that you power down your alarm system.

Cut and strip both ends of the reversible peripheral cable

Olarm MAX:
