Hills Reliance 8 Terminal Descriptions 
Terminal  Description 
AC 
AC input. Connect a 16.5V 1.5A approved plug pack. 
EARTH 
Earth / Ground. 
To comply with ACA S009 & AS/NZS3000:2000. Connect to the 16.5V AC plug pack earth wire. 
AUX 
OUT 1 
Auxiliary Output Terminal, normally used to connect the negative lead of the strobe. The positive lead 
of the strobe can be connected to any of the positive terminals e.g. KP POS. Current is limited to 
250mA when output is negative and 250 microamps maximum when output is positive. 
SIREN 
Built in siren driver, if used as a siren output (default), the speaker rating should be
15 Watt at 8 or 16 Ohm, or 30/40 Watt at 4, 8, or 16 Ohm, 250mA maximum load. 
If voltage output is selected in Feature 22 - Segment 2 - Option 1, this output becomes voltage 
output, 12 VDC, 500mA maximum load. 
Note:  A 3.3K
 resistor may be required across the bell terminals when a 12 VDC siren is used.
If no resistor is used, you may experience voltage leakage into the siren that will cause these devices 
to output a small signal. 
COM 
Common (-) Terminal 
SMOKE+ 
Smoke detector power 12VDC, 100mA maximum. 
At default output is 0V, to enable 12V set F27 - Seg 3 - Op 6 (invert output) to off. See Feature 27. 
AUX 
OUT 2 
Auxiliary Output Terminal, normally used to connect the negative lead of the screamer. The positive 
lead of the screamer can be connected to any of the positive terminals e.g. KP POS. Current is 
limited to 250mA when output is negative and 250 microamps maximum when output is positive. 
KP DATA 
Connect the to the KP data terminal on the code pads and the expanders (usually blue or green 
wire). Maximum total wire run is 800 metres using 14/020 cable. These numbers are for one code 
pad at the end of the wire. When connecting more than one code pad to the system bus wire, a 
higher gauge wire will be required, or there will be a reduction in maximum wire distance. Maximum 8 
devices. 
KP COM 
Connect to the Common terminal on the code pads and the expanders (usually the black wire). 
KP POS 
Connect to the Positive terminal on the code pads and the expanders (usually the red wire).
The KP POS and AUX PWR + terminals are limited to 1 Amp total current when added together. 
COM 
Connect negative wire of powered devices such as motion detectors and smoke detectors. 
ZONE 4 
Connect to one side of zone 4 loop. Connect the other side to a COM terminal. Open or short causes 
alarm. 
COM 
Common (-) terminal for zones 5 & 6. (See the wiring diagram for examples) 
ZONE 3 - 
ZONE 1 
Connect to one side of zone loop. Connect the other side to a COM terminal. Open or short causes 
alarm. 
Battery 
Leads 
Connect black (-) and red (+) leads to a 12VDC sealed lead acid rechargeable battery. 
Do not connect to a dry cell battery. 
Warning: Total standby current drawn from SMOKE +, KP POS and AUX PWR +, must not exceed 700 mA with 
16 VAC 3 Amp Plug Pack or 400 mA with 16 VAC 1.5 Amp Plug Pack.
