Connecting the Olarm MAX
Important: Should you not have an Olarm Orisec Adapter Board, see the alternative method below, and pay special attention to the wiring on the Olarm MAX.
Before connecting the Olarm MAX, ensure that you power down your alarm system.
Cut and strip the 5-pin side of the reversible peripheral cable. Wire the stripped end of the peripheral cable into the terminals found on the back of the Olarm MAX.
Plug the 4-pin side of the peripheral cable into the adapter board and then plug the adapter board into the programmed Com Port.
Note If ComPort 1 is in use, the Olarm Orisec Adapter Board will not fit onto ComPort 2. Make use of the alternative wiring method.
Alternatively
Plug the 4-pin side of the peripheral cable to the programmed Com Port on your Orisec Alarm System.
Cut and strip the 5-pin side of the reversible peripheral cable. Wire the stripped end of the peripheral cable into the terminals found on the back of the Olarm MAX AS SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAM.
LED States of the Olarm MAX
Power up your Alarm System and Olarm MAX while making reference to the table below for an understanding of the device’s LED states:
Connecting the Olarm MAX to the Olarm APP
There are two methods to add the device to the app. Follow the steps below:
Method 1: QR Code
In the Olarm APP, tap on “Add Device”
Select “Scan QR Code”
You will find the unique QR code on the back of the device beneath the internal power supply compartment. Scan the QR code and follow the prompts.
Method 2: Manually add device
In the Olarm APP, tap on “Add Device”
Select “Enter Serial”
You will find the unique serial number on the back of the device beneath the internal power supply compartment. Enter the serial number in the Olarm APP.
Enter the “V.Code” also found on the back of the device below the serial number and follow the prompts.
Enter the UDL Code in the Olarm APP
To enable app functionality, you will be prompted to enter the UDL code in the Olarm APP. The UDL code entered needs to match what was programmed on the alarm system.
Connect your device to WiFi
There are two methods to get the Olarm MAX connected to your WiFi network, follow the steps below:
Method 1: In-App Prompt
Method 2: WPS Mode
Press the “FN” button found on the back of the Olarm MAX near the screw terminals
This will put the device in WPS Mode for around 3 minutes
On the WiFi router of the network you are wanting to connect to, press the WPS button
The Olarm MAX will automatically pair with the WiFi network
Note: The Olarm MAX only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
Troubleshooting for Orisec
Should your panel version be below V6.05, your Olarm app may not display countdown when arming.
You will need to update your panels firmware version, contact your supplier to do so.
