EC-PCB Hardware Connection Overview
EC-PCB Built in Web Browser (requires optional ‘EC-loT’ Ethernet module)
Web browser is the best way to program the control panel for installations where internet is not available.
Security for Off Site/Remote Connection
It is not recommended to port forward the built in web browser for off site configuration as this is not secure & the system could easily be compromised. Use the EliteCloud dashboard for off site access with any EC-PCB, EC-i, ESL, ESL-2 or Runner control panel. EliteCloud provides a secure end to end encrypted connection from almost anywhere.
Default IP Address
- 1921681100 is the default IP address for the control panel, however DHCP is on by default so this will change if plugged into a router/switch.
Retrieving IP Address
- You can view/retrieve the control panel IP address by pressing and holding the ‘9’ button on the ‘EC-LCD’, ‘EC-LCD PROX or ‘EC-KP’ keypads OR by pressing ‘TCP/IP Address’ within the service menu on the ‘EC-TOUCH’ screen.
Connecting
- Once you know the current system IP address you can connect directly to the built in web browser with a patch cable by setting your computer IPV4 to the same range as the control panel.
- Alternatively you can set your computer IPV4 to DHCP/Automatic and connect through a router or switch.
- Once one of the 2 steps above are complete, open your computer web browser and enter the IP address followed by enter to confirm & the ‘Log in’ page shown below should appear.
Signing In
- Users from 1to 32 can be used to sign into the web browser. For this you will require the user name & code as programmed into the control panel.
- For example: Default ‘User 1′ name & password is: Name: User 1 Password: 123
- Enter the correct user name & password into the login fields and you will be directed to the ‘Status & Control’ page as detailed below:
Simple Programming
Entering Installer mode
EC-LCD & EC-LCD PROX
Press ‘PROG’ followed by your installer code (default – 000000), then press ‘ENTER’. You should now see ‘Installer: Users’ on the keypad display.
EC-TOUCH
Press ‘Settings, followed by your installer code (default – 000000), then press the tick icon to confirm. You should now see ‘Installer Settings Menu.
Exiting Installer Mode
EC-LCD & EC-LCD PROX – Press ‘PROG’ (once or twice) until you see ‘<ENTER> to exit’. Then press the ‘ENTER’ button.
EC-TOUCH – Press the back button <” until you return to the home screen.
Changing/Adding User Codes
- To change user codes you must be in ‘Installer mode’ or ‘Client Mode’.
- The EC-PCB panel has the ability to store up to 2000 user codes.
- User codes can be anywhere from 1to 6 digits long & require the ‘ENTER’ button to be pressed after code entry.
- User codes are programmed at Address 1 & then entered into slots from 1to 2000 as detailed below:
Press ‘PROG’1’ENTER’ then the slot you wish to change ie. T, then press ‘ENTER. The keypad will flash back or display the current code (default code is 123). Now enter your new code le. 4 5 6 then press ‘ENTER to confirm.
The new code (456 for example) will flash back or display on the screen.
Below are some examples of adding user codes where ‘P’ represents ‘PROG’ & ‘E’ represents ‘ENTER’.
Changing Installer code
There is only one installer code which can only be used when the system is disarmed. To change the installer code simply enter installer mode, then press ‘PROG’ 25 ‘ENTER’ T’ENTER’ and the current code will be displayed. Now enter your new installer code from 1-6 digits and press ‘ENTER’ to confirm
Changing Entry delays
This is how long a sensor gives you to get in and disarm the system after it has been triggered. Each sensor has its own delay from O to 9999 seconds. If you have to pass a sensor to get to the keypad then it must have an entry delay. In installer mode press ‘PROG’ 144 ‘ENTER’ then select the input you wish to change (1 to 248) and press ‘ENTER.
Now enter the new time (0O to 9999) in seconds and press ‘ENTER’. The new entry delay time should display on the screen
Changing Exit delay
This is how long you have to get out of the premises after pressing an ‘Arm’ button. This time is programmable from 0to 255 seconds. In installer mode, press ‘PROG’ ‘60″ ‘ENTER’ T ‘ENTER’, now enter the selected time from 0-255 seconds, followed by the ‘ENTER’ button to confirm

System Test
When the programming configuration is complete, a quick test is required to confirm all hardware and software is working correctly. Run through the steps below to make sure the system is operating as required.
Make sure no one is moving around the premises as this could affect the test.
- The keypad should not have any input lights on. If input lights are present, make sure:
– Your wiring is correct as per page 4.
– The resistors in the sensors are correct – RED,RED, RED, GOLD (unless using non default EOL configuration).
– You have used the 2K2 resistors provided to seal any unused inputs (or turned them off in programming)
– That all covers are correctly placed on sensors. - Sensors Walk Test
– Enter install mode (as per page 6) then press P 200 E 6 E E to enter walk test mode & the keypad should start beeping. Now walk in front of each sensor and when you get back to the keypad the inputs that are working correctly will permanently display on the keypad. If some sensors are not working, do the following:
– Check your wiring is correct as per page 4.
– Check the resistors in the sensors are correct – RED, RED, RED, GOLD (unless using non default EOL configuration)
– That all covers are correctly placed on sensors. - Test all of the user codes
– Start by typing in user code 1followed by the ENTER’ button and the keypad should start beeping as it arms.
– Now type user code 1in again, followed by the ‘ENTER’ button and the keypad should go quiet as it disarms.
Repeat this test for all of the user codes you have programmed
– Are all user codes operating correctly? If not, please revisit ‘Changing/Adding User Codes’ on the previous page. - Press the ARM button to see if there is enough time to get out of the house before the exit delay beeps stop – If not you will need to extend the exit delay as per ‘Changing Exit Delay’ the previous page.
- Now with the system armed, see if you can get back inside to the keypad and disarm the alarm before the sirens go off
– If not you will need to increase the entry delay time/times as per ‘Changing Entry Delays’ on the previous page. - Make sure the sirens and strobe go off after the entry delay expires
– Arm the system, wait for the beeps to stop then move in front of a sensor. The keypad should start beeping again and as soon as the entry delay is finished the sirens and strobe should go off. Once the sirens have been checked, enter an active user code followed by the ENTER button to disarm the system.
– Does the external siren & strobe operate when the system is in alarm? If not, recheck wiring as per page 4.
– Does the internal siren work? If not, recheck wiring as per page 4.
