1. Introduction
The Remote Receivers used for connection to the EMS 5000 FirePoint Control Panel are
detailed in the following instructions. Two types of remote receiver can be used with the
system, both of which are hardwired to the Control Panel via 2 core screened cable.
The Model 53-5428 is a UHF remote receiver capable of receiving UHF signals from a
number of transponder units on site. The transponder units are wireless devices, which
receive information from detectors and then re-transmit this information to the UHF
remote receiver, thus improving the overall range coverage of the system. This
information is then sent to the control panel via cable (FP200). A maximum of 28 remote
receivers can be connected to the Control Panel. A block diagram of a system using the
UHF remote receiver is shown in Figure 1.
The Model 53-5414 is a VHF remote receiver capable of receiving VHF signals directly
from all types of detectors, thus improving the overall range coverage of the system.
This information is then sent to the control panel via cable (FP200). A maximum of 28
remote receivers can be connected to the Control Panel. A block diagram of a system
using the VHF remote receiver is shown in Figure 2.
