Ward Sounder Control
If you want to make keypads assigned to individual
wards give entry and exit tone for their own wards only
then you need to do the following:
1. Set the Ward Sounder Control jumper on each of the
keypads to “enabled” (see diagram).
When the jumper is set to enabled the keypad sounder
activates when the panel speaker and the output on
the keypad are active at the same time.
2. Use Engineering Menu 4 option 3 to assign the control
panel speaker to all wards that need tones from their
keypad sounders.
3. Use Engineering Menu 3 option 8 to assign the outputs
of the keypads to ward sounder control for the relevant
wards.
Internal Digital Communicator.
1. To use the internal digital communicator you must
connect a stand alone digital communicator that is
only programmed with the central station phone
number.
2. Use Engineering Menu 3 option C 9 to set up
accounts to wards and program digi channels.
You cannot disable channels on the internal
communicator. The only way to do this is to assign
channels to an event that is not going to cause an
alarm.
Note that if you change any channel output on the
internal communicator then you are changing it for
every ward.
TSNIB
The TSNIB is a Network Interface Buffer Board for use with
the Networker range of control panels. This Interface will
allow the connection of remote keypads or nodes, up
to a maximum distance of 1km from the Driver Board. It
can also be used in situations that require cabling to be
run in areas with electrical or radio interference.
Tips
Adding or Removing Equipment
Always remove power (mains and battery) from the
system before adding or removing equipment.
Initial Power Up
When you initially power up the system will ask you to
confirm the equipment attached to the networks. If the
system reports more Lecs than you have actually
connected it may be that a remote keypad is not
initialised. The control panels sees remote keypads that
have not been initialised as Lecs. To initialise a keypad
press any of the keys.
Keypads
If you connect a remote keypad to a Network then you
lose six zones. The control panel sees a keypad that is
directly connected to a Network cable as equivalent to
an xnode or ts900 node. All such devices provide zone
numbers in blocks of eight. Since the keypad itself can
only provide connections for two zones then the
remaining six zone numbers cannot be used.
Keypads connected to separate Networks can be used
simultaneously. In the same way, keypads connected
to separate xnodes do not lock each other out.
Outputs
To toggle outputs on nodes use Engineer’s Menu 3
option 9 submenu 6, and leave the selected output on
test.
User Codes
If you want a user to set a ward from a keypads that is not
assigned to the ward then make sure that you give them
a Standard Global or Manager type code.
When such a user sets a ward from a keypad that is not
allocated to the ward then the control panel will set the
ward instantly.
