Remote Activation Input
The EREB-AD offers a normally closed, dry contact input to accommodate
connection to a fire alarm panel, security system, or test switch. This
input ships from the factory with a blue wire loop (jumper) connected to
two of the top screw terminals. It is a complete loop that disables remote
activation. Do not remove this jumper unless you are installing a remote
triggering device.
Note:
Echoflex recommends that you power up and test your
system before connecting to a remote device. Do not remove the
jumper unless you are installing a remote triggering device.
The remote device that triggers the Emergency circuit ON must provide a
normally closed, maintained dry contact closure for fire alarms. When the
remote device is activated, the contact closure opens and the contacts
force the EREB-AD into the emergency ON state.
1. Power up and test your system before installing a remote activation
input to your EREB. See
.
2. Remove the wire loop jumper from the Remote Loop In and Remote
Loop Out terminals.
3. Connect the Remote Loop In and Remote Loop Out terminals on the
EREB-AD to the single pole contacts on the remote device or test
switch.
4. Go to
Remote Activation Test on page 9
to confirm the connection.
Configure a Time Delay
If your lighting requires a warmup period (for example, for high-intensity
discharge [HID] lamps), you can configure a time delay to keep the
emergency lighting on for a period of time after the normal power is
restored. The default time delay is zero. To configure a longer transition
time follow the steps below.
1.
Press the
[Option]
button on the EREB. Both the Status and
Remote LEDs will blink to indicate the current time delay
configured.
2.
Press and release the
[Option]
button to cycle through the
settings, and stop when the
blink pattern matches the
setting you want.
3.
Wait 10 seconds for the EREB
to save the setting and resume
normal operation.
