Connecting the Olarm Max
Before connecting the Olarm MAX, ensure that you power down your alarm system.
Cut and strip the 5-pin side of the reversible peripheral cable. Wire this end of the stripped peripheral cable into the terminals found on the back of the Olarm MAX.
Plug the 4-pin side of the peripheral cable into the RS485 port located near the keypad terminals on the Honeywell Galaxy Dimension panel.
See the diagram below for visual reference:

Alternatively, cut and strip the 4-pin side of the reversible peripheral cable. Wire this stripped end of the peripheral cable into the terminals found on the back of the Olarm MAX AS SHOWN IN THE DIAGRAM BELOW:

LED States of the Olarm MAX
Power up your Alarm System and Olarm MAX while making reference to the table below for an understanding of the device’s LED states:

Connecting the Olarm MAX to the Olarm APP
There are two methods to add the device to the app. Follow the steps below:
Method 1: QR Code
In the Olarm APP, tap on “Add Device”
Select “Scan QR Code”
You will find the unique QR code on the back of the device beneath the internal power supply compartment. Scan the QR code and follow the prompts.
Method 2: Manually add device
In the Olarm APP, tap on “Add Device”
Select “Enter Serial”
You will find the unique serial number on the back of the device beneath the internal power supply compartment. Enter the serial number in the Olarm APP.
Enter the “V.Code” also found on the back of the device below the serial number and follow the prompts.
Connect your device to WiFi
There are two methods to get the Olarm MAX connected to your WiFi network, follow the steps below:
Method 1: In-App Prompt

Method 2: WPS Mode
Press the “FN” button found on the back of the Olarm MAX near the screw terminals
- This will put the device in WPS Mode for around 3 minutes
- On the WiFi router of the network you are wanting to connect to, press the WPS button
- The Olarm MAX will automatically pair with the WiFi network

Note: The Olarm MAX only supports 2.4GHz Wi-Fi
Troubleshooting LED states
Red
Check the connection between your Olarm MAX and the alarm system which includes wiring, using the correct ComPort or Serial Port, programming and entering the UDL or Master code in the Olarm APP.
Orange
Ensure your Olarm MAX is installed in an area with adequate signal strength. Alternatively, connect the device to Wi-Fi through its WPS capability.
Red & orange
Troubleshoot everything mentioned above.
Three blue flashes
Relocate the device to an area with better GSM/LTE signal strength. Alternatively, ensure there are no other peripherals nearby that could be interfering with the devices connectivity.
Two blue flashes
The Olarm MAX has lost Wi-Fi connectivity. Connect the device to Wi-Fi through one of the two methods. Ensure your device is in-range of the Wi-Fi network.
Mounting the Olarm MAX
Follow the diagrams below to mount the Olarm MAX.
Using the screws and wall plugs provided, mount the backplate to the flat surface as shown in the diagram below.

Place the Olarm MAX flat against the mounted backplate and slide the enclosure down to click into place

Using the locking key, apply force to insert the mechanism into the key hole until flat against the enclosure, which is indicated by two clicks.

Note
- Do not mount the Olarm MAX inside or against the alarm system enclosure, as this will hinder its connectivity capabilities.
- Do not mount the Olarm MAX near any other communication equipment, as they will inter with each others abilities to transmit signals.
- Utilise a non-metal enclosure should you mount the Olarm MAX outdoors.
- The maximum distance between Olarm MAX and Alarm System is 3 meters.
