Olarm 806 Adaptor Board and new X-Series Panels

The Olarm 806 Adaptor Board (also called IDS Plug-on Serial Adapter for 806 and X-Series Serial) is a compact interface board required to connect Olarm devices (such as Olarm PRO, Olarm PRO 4G, Olarm MAX, or similar communicators) to certain IDS alarm panels, including the IDS 806 and the newer IDS X-Series Serial panels.

Key Details & Compatibility:

• Primary Use — Enables serial communication between the Olarm communicator and the alarm panel for remote arm/disarm, status monitoring, event reporting, and app control via the Olarm platform.
• Compatible Panels — Works with:
  • IDS 806
  • IDS X-Series Serial panels (newer models with a single Com Port or modular interface)
• Not Compatible With — Older IDS X-Series panels (e.g., IDS X16, X64 classic versions) — these require a different adaptor board (X-Series X16/X64 specific).
• Installation — Plugs directly into the serial port on the panel; includes wiring for 12V power (red wire to AUX+). Connects via the Olarm peripheral cable (5-pin side to adaptor, 4-pin to Olarm device).
• Why Needed — The adaptor converts the panel's serial interface for reliable integration with Olarm's communicator hardware.
• Availability — Sold separately from Olarm devices; often in packs or individually from security suppliers.

This adaptor ensures seamless integration for modern IDS panels supporting Olarm's smart features like triple network redundancy (GSM, Wi-Fi, Ethernet in supported models), push notifications, and remote control. It's a simple, plug-and-play solution for upgrading or connecting Olarm to compatible IDS 806 or new X-Series Serial systems.

If you're installing on a specific IDS panel model, confirm the exact variant (e.g., "X-Series Serial") for the correct adaptor.
