Installation and Commissioning
Installation 1
st
Stage
The installer needs to install the system wiring in the form of a 2-core radial circuit (daisy chain format). The
cabling should be 2 core 1.5mm
2
, screened and fire resistant, of an MICC or FP200 equivalent type.
The cable should remain disconnected from any panels, and must be tested for continuity and integrity with a high
voltage tester, as required for general electrical installations.
The repeater panel back boxes should be mounted, with the mains supply tested, connected and isolated at the
un-switched fused spur, ready for the commissioning.
The installer needs to provide a set of ‘As-Wired’ drawings and proof of cable continuity and insulation test
readings etc., before commissioning may proceed. This information is essential, and may be entered onto the
forms provided at the rear of the manual.
Installation 2
nd
Stage
Once the commissioning engineer is satisfied with the continuity / integrity of the repeater R-Bus cable, the system
may be powered up as follows.
1.
Power up and program the main control panel according to the control panel
instructions, leaving the repeater R-Bus disconnected at this stage (see the
Sita200plus Engineering & Commissioning Instructions for further details).
2.
Power up the Repeater Panel by applying the 230V AC mains supply, before
connecting the batteries.
3.
Select ‘OSPmode’ at Access Level 3 (engineer) and download the control panel
configuration data into the repeater panel.
4.
Reset the repeater panel, and exit Access Level 3 (engineer).
5.
Connect the Repeater R-Bus at the repeater panel.
.
6.
Connect the Repeater Panel R-Bus at the main Control Panel.
7
Select the [RPTmode] button at Access Level 3 (Engineer) at the main control panel.
For control panels Version 4.00 or earlier, the control panel must be powered down
and re-powered at this stage.
8
Check the display to ensure that it successfully locates the repeater panel.
Commissioning
Once the above set up has been completed, the repeater panel should be operative. This must be tested carefully
for correct operation, by activating devices on the main panel and by ensuring that the repeater controls will
silence and reset the alarms.
