7. Test communicator operation.
Note: You will need to speak to the ARC in
order to confirm that the communicator has
worked correctly.
Line Fail Input
This input is designed to allow a plug by
communicator to indicate to the control unit
that the communications link has failed.
The communicator should have an output
capable of ap12V to the Line Fail
input while a line fault is present and 0V
when the fault is absent.
Tell Back Input
This input is designed to allow a plug by
communicator to indicate to the control unit
that the user can reset the system after a
system tamper. The communicator should
have an output that, when triggered
remotely, can apply +12V for at least
100ms to the input. See “Remote Reset
(Redcare Reset)” in the Menvier40/100/300
Engineering Guide for more information.
Line Monitoring for a Dual-Path
Communicator
If a standalone dual-path (landline and
mobile) communication device, such as a
RedCARE STU, is connected to the plug-by
connector, you need to do the following to
obtain correct line fault reporting (this is
not necessary if you are using a plug-on
module):
1. Wire a control unit output programmed
as type "ATS Test" to the ATS Test input
of the communicator.
2. Wire the Line Fault output of the
communicator to the Line Fault input of
the plug-by connector. The
communicator must p12Vdc to
indicate a line fault (for example, if the
Line Fault output at the communicator
uses a relay, connect the common
terminal of the relay to +12Vdc and the
normally-open terminal to the Line Fault
input of the plug-by connector).
The control unit will generate an "ATE L.F.
Single" alert if only one of the networks is
not available, or "ATE L.F. All" if both
networks are not available.
Step 10. Fit and Connect
Battery
Fit a 17Ah Lead Acid battery into the
battery compartment in the bottom of the
control unit. Use a battery whose case
material has a minimum rating of UL94V-2
in order to comply with EN60950 (this
standard applies because of the energy
content of 17Ah batteries).
See Figure 38. See page 8 for example
calculations of battery requirements.
WARNING
17Ah lead acid batteries
weigh 6kg each. Do NOT drop.
Ensure
that the fixings of the control unit case to
the wall, and the wall itself, are strong
enough to support the weight of the control
unit, its lid and a 17Ah lead acid battery.
The total weight of the control unit plus
batteries can be up to 11kg.
Connect the battery leads, red to the
positive, black to the negative terminals of
the battery. Connect the other ends of the
leads to BATT (item 9 on Figure 3).
Figure 38 Fitting the Batteries
Note: Connecting the battery without mains
power will not start the system. (See
“Programming Before Installation” in the
Menvier40/100/300 Engineering Guide.)
Step 11. Initial Power-Up
Please see the
Menvier40/100/300 Engineering
Guide
for an explanation of bus addressing.
WARNING:
During initial power-up all the
keypad sounders, internal loudspeakers and
wired sirens MAY give an alarm tone. If you
are working at the top of a ladder make
sure that the sudden noise does not startle
you and cause a fall.
1. Apply mains power to the control unit.
The keypads and internal sounder may
give an alarm tone. The heartbeat LED
on the control unit PCB (item 6 on
Figure 3 ) starts flashing. The navigation
keys on any attached keypad start
flashing.
All connected keypads briefly show the
software revision of the keypad itself,
