Radio Hub - Four Loop Installation Guide
General
The Ziton Radio Hub is available under the following part
number:
PART NO
VARIANT TYPE
ZPR868 -H Ziton Radio Hub - Four Loop c/w wire aerials
The address of the unit is set using the menu
programming structure available on the Radio Hub – see
programming manual for details. The installation must
conform to BS5839:Part 1 (or applicable local codes). This
Radio Hub is suitable for indoor use only.
Loop design
The Radio Hub is powered from the loop; the unit draws a
typical current of 40mA (for loop 1) plus 7mA per each
additional connected loop. The current drawn from the
Hub should be taken into consideration when calculating
the total load of a loop. A maximum of one Radio Hub can
be connected to a loop.
Installation of the Radio Hub
Ensure that the Radio Hub is sited in accordance with the
survey and design details. The Radio Hub is required to be
connected via glands to the relative control panel (CIE).
The recommended minimum distance between metal
objects or other equipment from the aerial is 600mm. The
recommended minimum distance to any other electrical
equipment is 2 metres. The maximum distance between
the Radio Hub and the CIE is 10 metres.
To gain access into the unit, remove the four corner covers
and screws, allowing removal of the front plate. These
must be kept in a safe place for refitting once installation
is complete. Housed inside the unit will be the following
part:-
1 x 868MHz Radio Hub pcb complete with aerials.
Removing the Ziton Hub PCB
Care must be taken to ensure the Ziton Hub PCB is not
damaged in the installation process. The Ziton Radio Hub
PCB can be removed for additional access to mounting
points if required. If removed, care must be taken to
ensure that the PCB is carefully stored and correctly
re-inserted and secured by the PCB retaining clips (shown
in Figure 1).
Figure 1
PCB
retaining
clips
In order to remove the PCB, firstly remove the PCBs
central retaining screw then release the top two retaining
clips, by gently easing them outwards. This will allow the
top of the board to be freed. Release the bottom two
retaining clips by gently easing them outwards. This will
release the PCB.
Having now unclipped the PCB, it must be carefully lifted
away from the casework and stored in a suitable, safe
location.
