3. INSTALLATION 
3.1 Unpacking the Equipment 
Open the cardboard packing box and check whether all items have been included. If you find out that an item is missing, 
contact your vendor or dealer immediately. 
3.2 Supplying Power to the Unit 
Enrolling the transmitting devices’ ID codes in the Abbra memory will be easier if carried out before actual installation, with 
all detectors and the control panel on a work bench. It is therefore necessary to power up the Abbra temporarily from the 
external power transformer (see figure 3.3). Alternatively, you may power up from the backup battery, as shown in figure 
3.1. 
Disregard any “trouble” indications pertaining to lack of battery or lack of telephone line connection. 
3.3 System Planning & Programming 
It pays to plan ahead - use the tables in appendices A and B at the end of this guide to register the intended location of each 
detector, the holder and assignment of each transmitter and the control plan for the X-10 units. 
Gather up all transmitters and detectors used in the system and mark each one in accordance with your deployment plan. 
Program the system now as instructed in the programming section. 
3.4 Mounting 
Abbra mounting process is shown in figure 3.2. 
3.5 Wiring 
Abbra wiring is shown in figure 3.3. 
Extract the screw terminal blocks one by one and make the necessary connections. When done, plug each terminal block 
onto its PCB mounted pins.
