Installation
2.1 Recommended Installation Procedure
In order to facilitate installation, we recommend connecting the modules in
small groups and verifying the system after every group is connected,
instead of verifying the system only after all modules are connected.
1. Install the control panel.
2. Connect a small group of modules, including a keypad, to the combus.
3. Connect the battery and then connect the AC power. Enter section
[4000]
to verify if all the connected modules’ serial numbers appear
(see section 11.19 on page 32). If all the modules appear in section
[4000], only the Clock Loss trouble and/or Bell Absent trouble should
appear on the keypad. Verify the connection if a module does not
appear in section [4000], or if a module trouble occurs.
4. If another group of modules needs to be connected, disconnect AC
power and the battery, and then continue the installation by following
steps 2, 3 and 4.
5. If modules were removed from the combus, enter
[4005]
to remove
them from the panel’s memory (see section 11.18 on page 32).
6. Connect an LCD keypad at various points farthest from the control
panel and use the keypad’s built-in voltmeter to verify the combus’s
voltage (refer to the
Digiplex (DGP-NE96) LCD Keypad Reference &
Installation Manual
).
2.2 Location & Mounting
Before mounting the cabinet, push the five white nylon mounting studs into
the back of the cabinet. Pull all cables into the cabinet and prepare them for
connection before mounting the circuit board into the back of the cabinet.
Select an installation site that is not easily accessible to intruders and leave
at least 2" around the panel box to permit adequate ventilation and heat
dissipation. The installation site should be dry and close to an AC source,
ground connection and telephone line connection.
2.3 Earth Ground
Connect the zone and dialer ground terminals from the control panel to the
enclosure and cold water pipe or grounding rod as per local electrical codes.
For maximum lightning protection, use separate earth grounds
for the zone and dialer grounds (see Figure 3 on page 3).
2.4 AC Power
Use a 16.5Vac (50/60Hz) transformer with a minimum 20VA rating to
provide sufficient AC power. For increased power use a transformer with a
40VA rating.
For UL Listed systems, use model #BE156240CAA. For CSA
listed systems, use model #BE116240AAA.
Do not use any switch-
controlled outlets to power the transformer. Connect the transformer as
shown in Figure 3 on page 3.
Do not connect the transformer or the backup battery until all
wiring is completed.
PLEASE NOTE: When powering up the DGP-NE96 control panel
(V1.02 or higher), the panel will begin a module scan to verify if
all the modules connected to the control panel are operational.
The scanning process will take between 30 and 120 seconds to
complete depending on the number of modules connected to
the control panel. The module scan is complete when the
keypad begins to show the partition status. Only after the
module scan is complete will the control panel be fully
operational.
2.5 Backup Battery
To provide power during power loss, connect a 12Vdc 4Ah rechargeable
acid/lead or gel cell backup battery (YUASA model #NP7-12
recommended) as shown in Figure 3 on page 3. Connect the backup
battery after applying AC power. When installing, verify proper polarity, as
reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. For details on how to set
the Battery Charge Current to either 350mA or 850mA, see section 11.5 on
page 30.
2.5.1 Battery Test
The control panel conducts a dynamic battery test under load every 64
seconds. If the battery is disconnected, if its capacity is too low or if the
battery voltage drops to 10.5 volts or less when there is no AC, the “Battery
Trouble” message will appear in the Trouble Display. At 8.5 volts, the panel
shuts down and all outputs close.
2.6 Auxiliary Power Terminals
The auxiliary power supply can power the motion detectors, keypads and
other accessories in the security system. A fuseless circuit protects the
auxiliary output against current overload and automatically shuts down if
the current exceeds 1.1A. Auxiliary power will resume once the overload
condition has restored. For details on available output power, please refer
to Figure 3 on page 3. To calculate power consumption, see
2.7 Bell/Siren Output
The
BELL
+ and
BELL
- terminals power bells and/or other warning devices
that require a steady voltage output during an alarm. The bell output
supplies 12Vdc upon alarm and can support one 30-watt or two 20-watt
sirens. The bell output uses a fuseless circuit and will automatically shut
down if the current exceeds 3A. If the load on the
BELL
terminals returns to
normal (
≤
3A), the control panel will re-instate power to the
BELL
terminals.
When connecting sirens, please verify correct polarity as shown in Figure 3
on page 3. PGM2 and PGM3 are relays rated at 5A each and can be used
to power bells and/or other warning devices by programming them as a
bell/siren outputs (see section 10 on page 29).
When the bell output is not used, the “Bell Absent” message
appears in the Trouble Display. To avoid this, connect a 1k
Ω
resistor across the bell output. UL Note: The keypads must be
programmed to beep with all troubles.
2.8 Programmable Outputs
The control panel comes standard with
PGM1 to PGM3. When a specific event or
condition occurs in the system, a PGM can
be programmed to reset smoke detectors,
activate strobe lights, open/close garage
doors and much more. For details on how to
program the PGMs, refer to section 10.
PGM1 is 100mA (max.) normally open
output. PGM2 and PGM3 are 5A relay
outputs that can be normally open or
normally closed. If the current draw on
PGM1 is to exceed the current output, we
recommend using a relay as shown in
Figure 1. PGM1 can be programmed as a 2-
wire smoke detector input (see section
2.17.1 on page 7 and section 10.6 on page 29).
2.9 Keyswitch Connections
(not verified by UL)
Connect the keyswitches to the keypad,
control panel, or Zone Expansion Module's
hardwired input terminals as shown in Figure
2. Once a keyswitch is connected, it must be
assigned a keyswitch zone and its parameters
must be defined as described in
2.10 Access Control Connections
