Plug the 4-pin side of the reversible peripheral cable into the Olarm Orisec Adapter Board, and plug the adapter board into the programmed Com Port.

Cut and strip the 5-pin side of the cable. Wire this stripped end of the cable into the terminals found on the back of the Olarm MAX.

  • Red to + (Positive)

  • Black to GND

  • Yellow to SERIAL 1

  • Green to SERIAL 2

Note: If ComPort 1 is in use, the Olarm Orisec Adapter Board will not fit onto ComPort 2. Make use of the alternative wiring method. (See here)


Step3: Enter the UDL Code in the Olarm APP

Once you have powered up your Orisec alarm system, and have added it to the Olarm APP. You will be prompted to enter the UDL code in the app. Ensure this is the same UDL code that was programmed.
