The Powermax Pro system supports various wireless peripherals. Refer to the individual peripheral's manual for specific pairing instructions. Generally, the process involves:
- Entering the system's installer programming mode.
- Selecting the option to add a new device or zone.
- Activating the peripheral (e.g., pressing a button, triggering a sensor) to allow the control panel to detect it.
- Assigning a zone number and defining the device type (e.g., motion detector, door/window contact).
4.4. GSM, Powerlink, and X-10 Module Setup
If your system includes integrated GSM, Powerlink, or X-10 modules, additional setup is required:
- GSM Module: Requires a compatible GSM SIM card (e.g., T-Mobile or AT&T pay-as-you-go). Insert the SIM card into the designated slot. Configure the system to dial desired phone numbers for alerts. Ensure good cellular reception at the panel's location.
- Powerlink Module: Connect the control panel to your home network via an Ethernet cable. Configure network settings (IP address, port forwarding) as required by your router. This enables remote monitoring and control via a web interfaccia.
- X-10 Module: Requires an external X-10 Powerline Interface (e.g., PSC05) and a specific RJ11 data cable to connect to the control panel. Ensure the internal jumper setting for the X-10 module is set to two-way communication if desired.
