When operated as a Super-
vised Loop, an open will be
reported as a  Trouble.
Whether the system is armed
or  disarmed.  A  short  on  a
Supervised Loop will be re-
ported as  an alarm  if the
system is armed, but will have
no effect if the system is dis-
armed.

Loop  8
Terminals C and Z8 are a standard loop that can also power 2-wire
devices. It supplies 10 - 12.5 VDC at 50 mA.  Use Loop 8 to power
2-wire glass-breaks and smoke detectors.
The SYSTEM 238 is capable of addressing up to 8 Alpha keypads.
LED keypads do not require addressing. Each LED keypad uses 35
mA  of current.  Each LCD  keypad uses  64  mA of  current. See
Available Power for current limitations. See page 5 for additional
information on keypad setup.
LOOP INPUTS
Each loop is independently
configured  through  pro-
gramming. Loops  can be
wired  with  an  open  circuit
switch,  or closed  circuit
switch, or with a 2.2K ohm
end-of-line (EOL) resistor.
When programmed as EOL,
either an open or a short will
be reported as  an alarm if
the system is  in  an armed
state.

Fuse  F3
The KEY+ terminal is protected by a 0.75 amp, 3 AG, fast-blow fuse
(F3).
Connect the keypad to the control panel as shown in the diagram
above. The Alpha Plus keypad also has a jumper, located near the
piezo, that must be removed when used with the System 238 control
panel.
1. Position the tamper switch inside the cabinet at the lower right
corner of the cabinet. For the wall tamper, the plunger should go
through the small hole in the back of the cabinet. For the door
tamper, the plunger should face out from the cabinet. Refer to
the drawing  below.
2. Connect  the  tamper  switches  in  series  and  wire  the  tamper
terminals to a dedicated zone of the control panel.
3. Program the dedicated zone as desired: NC, EOL, 24-hour, etc.
Once the tamper switches are installed, opening the cabinet door or
removing the cabinet from the wall will result in a tamper signal at the
panel.
TAMPER  SWITCH INSTALLATION
C&K  has  designed  the  SYSTEM  238  cabinet  to  use  the  Ademco
Model  19  tamper  switch.  The  cabinet  is  constructed  in order  to
accommodate two switches. One tamper for the cover and a second
switch for a wall tamper. To install the tamper switches:

TELEPHONE INTERFACE
Connect the SYSTEM 238 to the phone line using the
9.X PCF cord (not included). The cord has an 8-pin
telco plug on one end. Plug the telco end directly into
the phone companies RJ31 or RJ38X jack. Connect
the flying leads to the SYSTEM 238 PCB as shown
below and listed on the next page.
