3. Plug the Communication Wiring Harness onto
the communications connector on the main
PCB.
If the system has already been installed:
4. Re-connect the battery.
5. Fit the case lid.
6. Apply mains power.
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.
Remote Reset (Tell Back) Input
This input (marke
d “RR”) 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 inp
ut. See “Remote
Reset (Redcare Reset)” in the i-on Range
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 that complies with BSIA Form No.175,
April 2005 (this is not necessary if you are using a
plug-on module):
1. Reprogram one of the plug by outputs to type
“ATS Test” and wire that output 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 9. Fit and Connect
Battery
Fit either one to two 17Ah Lead Acid batteries into
the battery compartment in the bottom of the
control unit (see Figure 49). Use batteries 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 page 11 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 up to two 17Ah lead acid batteries.
The total weight of the control unit plus batteries
can be up to 18kg.
Connect the battery leads, red to the positive,
black to the negative terminals of the battery.
Connect the other ends of the leads to either
BATT1 or BATT2 (item 15 in Figure 3).
If you are fitting only one battery then connect it to
BATT1 (the lower set of pins) and disable alerts
on BATT2 (see the
i-on Range Engineering
Guide
).

Note: Connecting the batteries without mains
power will not start the system. (See
“Programming Before Installation” in the i-on
Range Engineering Guide.)
Step 10. Initial Power-Up
Please see the
i-on Range 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 (see fig 3 ) starts flashing.
The navigation keys on any attached keypad
start flashing.
All connected keypads briefly show the
software revision of the keypad itself, followed
by the words “Please wait...” for several
