welcome to the Alula connect+ DIY installation video. The first professional wireless security system
that can be installed easily anyplace in the home this is chapter one of the
alula instructional series outlining the steps required to install the alula
panel everything you need to install the connect plus panel security system comes
standard in the box this includes the desktop mounting stand the ul compliant
security system the power supply and Ethernet cable enabling communications
and an instructional manual for a period of time we're also including an animist
or window sensor as well please review the manual for additional details on
configuring your system while it's possible to install the connect plus on
a wall the recommended installation would use the desktop bracket you simply
insert the alula panel into the base until it rests securely on the bottom
there's an alignment notch on the backside to ensure proper placement in
the base adding communications uses the Ethernet cable provided plug one end of
the cable into the slot on the back side of the connect plus and the other end
into an open port on the home's router apply power by connecting the barrel
connector into the slot just under the Ethernet cable and the power supply into
an outlet in the home you can secure that using the outlet cover screw as
noted the connect plus system will emit a long beep and the top five LEDs should
turn green with the top one blinking indicating AC power it may take up to 30
seconds for the communication LEDs to come solid green
this is chapter 2 of the Kinect plus certification series outlining how to
install expansion cards into the panel everything you need to install the
Kinect flash security system comes standard at the box and it's possible to
order an alula system from the factory with all desired option cards installed
and tested this video will cover the process of adding a card into the field
based on the needs of a particular installation to install the option cards
you'll need to remove the cover of the Kinect plus system as shown press the
button on top of the Kinect plus to release the cover then lift to loosen
the tabs at the bottom of the panel place connect plus on a flat and secure
surface to prepared for car installation there are three expansion slots in the
Kinect plus the two larger cards are for cellular and Wi-Fi communications the
third slot is used for translator or z-wave communication cards there are
also three or four holes on each card allowing for mounting pegs to be
attached be sure to remove the backup battery prior to installing any
expansion cards the most common expansion card is a cellular
communication device this should be installed in slot one allowing for
proper installation of the internal antenna be sure to align the four
pre-installed mounting pegs into the holes on each corner and the
communication pins of the mainboard connector as shown
press firmly and evenly over each of the corner posts until it snaps securely
into place put the antenna into the holding slot located near the sounder of
the connect plus system Wi-Fi and z-wave cards have built-in antennas and don't
require this extra step the z-wave and translator cards are connected in slot
three near the connect plus battery align the three mounting pegs into the
holes in the corner and ensure the pins on the main board align with a connector
on the expansion card press firmly and evenly until the card snaps into place
once all expansion cards have been added you can reconnect the backup battery and
power the connect plus system to verify proper operations you should see LEDs on
the expansion cards illuminate confirming power and communications are
available once confirmed you can replace the cover of the connect plus and
complete the installation of all other sensors and peripheral devices
this is chapter three of the connect plus certification series outlining how
to enroll and operate the connect plus graphical keypad everything you need to

the connect plus security an automation platform can support a wide range of
peripheral devices in this video we're going to outline installing and
configuring an AR e 6 1 6 remote siren to a connect plus system unlike the
sirens resolution builds for other panels the connect plus system comes
with a built-in transmitter supporting one or more sirens on every installation
every siren can be configured to provide chime and status beeps if desired and
all will enunciate alarm conditions generated by the connect plus the siren
can be installed into any standard 120-volt outlet and secured with a screw
at the top as you open the battery compartment there are several features
that will come into play on operating the siren there's two LEDs that will
show siren and system status there's a dip switch that allows you to configure
the siren for chime entry and exit delay beeps there's a tamper spring and a
battery tab that allows the siren to be enrolled into a panel to do the
enrollment you first must put the panel in to enroll mode remove the battery tab
and it will go through a series of LED flashes indicating that it's enrolling
with the panel if you wish you can switch dip switch number two to either
turn on or off the time an entry/exit beep feedback from the remote siren the
amber LED indicates that has lost power or there's another trouble condition on
the siren once this is enrolled or plugged into an outlet that LED should
