Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Veritas R8 requires basic electrical knowledge, including running low-voltage alarm cable from the main panel to each sensor location. Ensure the main panel is mounted in a secure, central location, such as a closet or utility room.
- Powering: Connect the system to a dedicated fused spur.
- Wiring: Follow the terminal diagrams provided in the manual to connect PIR sensors and door contacts.
- GSM Configuration: Insert a compatible SIM card into the GSM module and program the emergency notification numbers through the keypad.
- Maintenance: Regularly test your alarm sensors once per quarter. Keep the keypad clean with a dry cloth and ensure the backup battery inside the panel is replaced every 3-5 years to ensure system performance during power outages.
