Output Unit

Installation Guide

General

The Output Unit, part no 55000-849, provides a volt-free, double pole, change-over relay 

output. It is supplied with a backbox for surface mounting and has an integral isolator as 

standard.

Note: The Output Unit is not designed for outdoor use unless it is mounted in a suitable 

weatheproof enclosure.

Installation

1. 

Mount the backbox as required and install all cables for termination. Ensure that earth  

 

continuity is maintained. 

2. 

Remove the cover plate (if secured) from the Output Unit assembly by inserting the blade  

 

of a terminal screwdriver into each of the four securing clips in turn, gently prising the   

 

outer edge of the cover plate over the clips underneath. DO NOT USE EXCESSIVE FORCE.

3. 

Terminate all cables.

4. 

Gently push the completed assembly towards the backbox until the mounting holes are   

 

aligned and secure with the two mounting screws provided. DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN.

5. 

Set the address of the unit as shown on page 3.

6. 

Finally, when commissioning is complete, 

fi

 t the cover plate by placing it in position,    

 

observing the correct orientation (LEDs on the PCB must be aligned with viewing holes)  

 

Apply pressure to the cover plate until all four clips are holding it in position.

Troubleshooting

Before investigating individual units for faults, it is very important to check that the system wiring 

is fault free. Earth faults on a data loop or any ancillary zone wiring may cause communication 

errors. Many fault conditions are the result of simple wiring errors. Check all connections to the 

unit and make sure that the correct value resistors are 

fi

 tted where necessary.
