Olarm IDS X-Series Adapter Installation Guide

Olarm IDS X-Series Adapter

Requires an Olarm adapter board – SOLD SEPARATELY. To enable Olarm PRO to work on IDS X-Series panels you will need the respective Olarm adapter board. These are sold separately & can be ordered by emailing sales@olarm.co.

INSTALLATION GUIDE

• STEP 1: Locate your alarm panel
  Note that the alarm panel is not the keypad. Alarm panels are typically installed in a hidden location in the home such as a cupboard or basement.

• STEP 2: Verify the alarm panel’s firmware version
  Olarm PRO only supports IDS X-Series alarm panels with firmware with version 2.5 and up. An alarm installer should be able to upgrade the alarm panel firmware if required. Please see the end of this manual for tips on how to view the alarm panel firmware version via the keypad.

• STEP 3 Unbox your Olarm PRO
  The Olarm PRO box includes the following:

  • 1x Olarm PRO device
  • 1x Connector cable
  • 1x Drill hole template and LED colour legend
  • 2x Screws and wall plugs

• STEP 4: Download the Olarm mobile app & register your device
  Scan QR code, or navigate to your app store on your device and search for ‘Olarm’. This Olarm PRO will require an active subscription to function. Please contact your installer or speak to sales@olarm.co for more information. **

**

• STEP 5: Power down the alarm panel
  Turn the power to your IDS X-Series alarm panel off at the mains and disconnect the battery.

• STEP 6: Connect the serial cable
  Connect the 4-pin side of the supplied cable to the Universal port on the Olarm PRO. Connect the 5-pin side of the supplied cable to an Olarm PRO IDS X-Series adapter board. These adapter boards are sold separately to the Olarm PRO and can be purchased directly from Olarm.

Please contact sales@olarm.co should you want to order.

• STEP 7: Connect to the X-Series adaptor board to the alarm panel
  Connect the Olarm IDS X-Series adapter board to the IDS X-Series alarm panel as indicated below. Wire the red 12V wire from the Olarm IDS X-Series adapter board into one of the AUX+ terminals on the alarm panel as illustrated below. **

• STEP 8: Turn the alarm panel back on
  Power your IDS X-Series alarm panel on again. The Olarm PRO should light up as per the chart below.

• STEP 10: Configure the alarm panel
  This section will guide you through entering a series of codes / settings to allow the alarm panel and Olarm PRO to communicate. The IDS X-Series alarm system caters for a range of keypads and they all work slightly different. Please follow the instructions relating to your keypad.

1. Ensure that the alarm system is powered up and on.
2. Ensure the alarm is disarmed.
3. Press [#] to clear the keypad.

• STEP 11: Mount the Olarm PRO
  Mount your device using the screws and drill template provided. We suggest mounting the Olarm PRO device on a wall or on the outside of the alarm panel.
  Please do NOT mount the Olarm PRO inside the alarm box or near any other radio equipment. This will reduce the signal strength and result in your device not functioning correctly.
