2.1 EOL Resistors / Tamper per Zone

All zones are end-of-line supervised. Any unused zones must be terminated with a 3K3 resistor. The end of line resistor should be placed inside or as close to the sensor as possible. If the zones are NOT programmed to report tamper by zone, use the 3K3 end-of-line resistor.

If tamper reporting is enabled for a zone, the 5K6 and 8K2 end-of-line resistors must be connected for that zone as per Figure 2 below.

2.2 Programmable Outputs

Current sink and source capability of the programmable outputs are as follows: Output high is a 12V source with a 56Ω series resistor. Output low is a 1000Ω resistor to negative. Any devices connected to a programmable output that require a high current must be connected via a relay board.

2.3 Key-Switch Arming/Disarming

The mi64 provides for arming and disarming using a momentary key-switch. The key switch must be a normally open spring-loaded type. If an external remote receiver is used it must provide a pulsed non-latching output.

When using a key-switch, the zone to which the key switch is connected must be programmed as an arm/disarm zone. Do not enable zone tamper. By default, the arm zone will arm the panel immediately, however an entry/exit delay may be enabled if required (see partition options).

2.4 Installing a Zone Expander Module

When installing a zone expander refer to the manual supplied with the module. A maximum of 5 expander modules may be added to the mi64. Each expander module provides 8 additional zones (zones 17–56 in groups of eight). The last eight zones 57–64 are keypad zones. Each keypad provides 1 additional zone; a maximum of 8 keypads allows for 8 keypad zones. Keypad zones are disabled by default.

6.1 Assigning a Keypad

• Set the keypad address using the dip-switches (see Figure 7 and Table 1 below).
• Wire the keypad to the keypad bus.

Figure 7: Location of Keypad Dip-switch

Table 1: Keypad Addresses

6.2 Replacing Damaged Keypads

• Remove the front of the keypad by loosening the locking screw, then insert a flat screwdriver to unlock the clips. The back cover remains mounted.
• Note and set the new keypad to the same keypad address as the one being replaced.
• Clip the new keypad onto the back cover and tighten the locking screw.

8.1 Keypad LED Indicators

Keys P1–P4 are partition selectors. Keypads may be programmed to access any or all partitions via location 6x00. By default, all keypads may access all partitions. Only partitions with assigned zones will be displayed. The current selected partition's status indicator will be brighter than the others.

Table 2: Partition Status LED Indicators

8.2 Stay Profile Indicators

When a selected partition is stay armed, the relevant home indicator (Home 1 or Home 2) will illuminate red, indicating the active home (stay) profile. It is not necessary to disarm the panel to change home profiles — simply select the alternate home profile.

8.3 Zone Status Indicators

Table 3: Zone Status Indicators

By default a keypad's zone status indicators display the status of zones 1–16. To view zones 17–64, hold the appropriate number key for 2 seconds:

• Hold 1 — zones 1–16
• Hold 2 — zones 17–32 (expanders 1 & 2)
• Hold 3 — zones 33–48 (expanders 3 & 4)
• Hold 4 — zones 49–64 (expander 5 & keypad zones)
• Hold 5 — return to the mapped zone selection

8.4 User Codes

Up to 64 users are supported. User codes must be 4 digits. Each user may be assigned to one or any combination of partitions. The default master user code (User 1) is 1234, assigned to all four partitions.

8.5 Programming User Codes

To access User Programming:

• Touch [Alt] then [*]. Indicators flash: P1-Orange, P2-Green, P3-Green, P4-Orange.
• Enter a Master User Code followed by [*]. Indicators flash: Green, Orange, Orange, Green.
• Select an option (1–5) then press [*].

Table 4: Programming Pages / Options

Table 5: User Code Options

8.6 Adding a Web App User

To add a web app user:

• Go to www.mialarm.co.za, register as a user and log on.
• Ensure all partitions are disarmed and the panel is not in programming mode.
• Select 'Add a device', enter the serial number of the panel (found on the front cover of the alarm housing). Enter a valid user code.
• All partition status indicators and Home LEDs will flash green.
• Enter [*], [master code], [*] on a keypad to validate the web user.

8.7 Arming a Partition

A green partition status indicator means the partition is ready to arm. Orange indicates violated zones which must be cleared or bypassed before arming.

• User code: Select the partition (P key), enter a valid user code. The indicator will flash orange during the exit delay.
• Quick arm key: If enabled, hold the relevant P key until it flashes orange and the exit beep sounds.
• Home arming: Hold the appropriate Home key for ~2 seconds. If a partition is already in Stay Mode, holding the other Home key changes the profile without disarming.

8.8 Disarming a Partition

Violating an entry/exit zone starts the entry delay. The partition status indicator flashes orange and the keypad beeps until a valid code is entered. If the code is not entered before the delay ends, or a non-entry-route zone is violated, the siren will sound and an alarm will be reported.

8.9 Alarms

When an alarm is registered, the siren sounds and the partition status indicator flashes red. The alarm is cancelled by entering a valid user code on any keypad displaying the alarmed partition. To view zones that caused the alarm, touch [Alt] then [0]. Press [#] to exit. A partition's alarm memory is overwritten each time the partition is armed.

8.10 Keypad Zone LEDs

By default LEDs 1–16 display zones 1–16. When programming Stay, Warning, Chime or Bypass zones, hold the appropriate number key to view expanded zone ranges:

8.11 Setting up Stay Profiles

The mi64 provides two stay/home profiles per partition (Home 1 and Home 2). Violation of a home zone will not activate an alarm while stay armed. Violation of a warning zone causes the keypad to buzz before triggering an alarm.

• Ensure the keypad is displaying the correct partition.
• Touch [ALT] then the appropriate [Home 1] or [Home 2] key.
• Add/remove home zones by entering the zone number followed by [*].
• To program warning zones touch [P2], then enter zone numbers followed by [*].
• Press [#] to exit.

8.12 Chime Zones

When a partition is not armed and a chime zone is violated, the keypad beeps. To program: touch [ALT] then [2], enter the zone number then [*]. Press [#] to exit.

8.13 Bypassing Zones

To bypass a zone: touch [ALT] then [9], enter the zone number then [*]. A bypassed zone may be cleared the same way. Press [#] to exit.

8.14 Fault Conditions

When a fault is detected the power indicator changes from green to red. To view: touch [ALT] then [7].

10.3 Programming Paged Locations

Applies to time locations, programmable output functionality, and option locations with more options than zone indicators. After entering the location number, the partition 1 indicator flashes to show page 1. Touch a P key to select another page. If the indicator does not flash, that page does not exist for this location.

10.4 Option Locations (Bitmapped)

An illuminated zone indicator means the corresponding option is enabled. Enter the option number followed by [*] to toggle. Touch [*] to save, [#] to exit.
