BASIC INSTALLATION
Be sure to select a control panel installation site that is not easily
accessible to intruders. Leave at least 2" around the panel box to
permit adequate ventilation/heat dissipation. The installation loca-
tion should be dry, in close proximity to an AC source and a
ground connection.
The printed circuit board, mounting hardware and keypad should
be removed from the packaging inside panel box. Press the four
white nylon mounting studs into cabinet from the back prior to
mounting the cabinet. Before mounting the circuit board on the
back of the cabinet, pull all cables into cabinet and prepare them
for connection. Then attach circuit board to mounting studs.
Connect all zones with the 1KOHM EOL resistors supplied, inclu-
ding keypad zone 8.
Panel Hook-up Procedures
All panel wiring must be completed before connecting transformer or
battery. Install keypads and connect wires to keypad terminals on
panel. Bell or siren should be connected to "Bell+" and "Bell-" termi-
nals. Ensure correct polarity connection of sirens and pola-rized bells.
TERMINAL CONNECTIONS
AC Terminals
Use a 16VAC transformer with a minimum 40VA rating to provide
sufficient AC power. Do not utilize any switch-controlled outlets to
power the transformer.
Siren/Bell Terminals (Bell +, Bell -)
Bells or other warning devices requiring a steady voltage output
during alarms are powered by the bell relay and the bell output
(fused at 3A). Connect the positive lead to the "Bell+" terminal and
the negative lead to relay input "NO" or "NC". Also connect a wire
between Relay C terminal and "Aux-" terminal.
Auxiliary Power Terminals
Motion detectors and other security devices requiring 12VDC volt-
age can be powered by the auxiliary power supply. A maximum of
400mA 12VDC is available from the AUX+ and AUX- terminals
when only one keypad is used with the Esprit. For each additional
keypad the auxiliary supply must be reduced by 20mA. The auxil-
iary supply is fused at 1 amp.
Keypad Terminal (RED, BLACK, YELLOW, GREEN)
Each keypad has connectors for four colored leads; red, black, yel-
low and green. Connect the lead to the corresponding colour input
terminal on the control panel and the keypad. Mount keypads near
entry/exit doors to shorten entry/exit delay intervals. If keypad zone
8 is to be used, connect it to the keypad with a 1KOHM EOL resis-
tor. If not, connect a 1KOHM EOL resistor in parallel to zone termi-
nals on keypad. Up to 5 keypads can be connected in parallel.
Please note:
The keypad zone can be connected on all keypads
installed. However, any open keypad zones will always be indicated
as zone 8 on every keypad display. However, when keypad zone
supervision is enabled, only the zone that is supervised indicates a
zone 8 on every keypad. The keypad zone is always a delay zone.
Zone Input Terminals (z1 to z6, fire zone 7, keypad zone 8)
Zone terminals are the loop inputs for 6 fully-programmable
zones. Connect normally closed detectors or contacts to each
zone and jumper any unused loops with the EOL resistors sup-
plied. An open contact across the resistor or reduced loop resis-
tance in fire zone 7 will engage a pulse bell/siren.
POWERING UP THE UNIT
When keypads are installed far from the control panel, we recom-
mend that you temporarily connect a keypad close to the panel to
conduct "power-up" testing. If key switches are being installed, a
keypad must be used to conduct programming.
Connect the transformer. After 5 seconds, you can begin testing
the unit. Enter random commands on the keypad. It should "beep"
in response to these commands.
Open a zone (except a keypad zone) to ensure that keypad and
panel are responding to signals. If the keypad does not respond
and if no indicator lights illuminate check for AC voltage at the
"AC" terminals. If 16VAC is flowing, then keypad wiring should be
verified, as well as the keypad/aux. supply fuse. If this fuse has
blown, check for a short between black and red keypad wires
before replacing it.
Battery Hook-up
Warning: Never connect the transformer or the battery until all
wiring has been completed. Use a 12VDC, 6.5 AH gel cell
battery. The red battery lead should be connected to the positive
battery terminal, and the black battery lead to the negative battery
terminal. Reversed connections will blow the battery fuse. The
battery should not be connected until AC connections to the panel
have been made. A "trouble" key indicator will illuminate on the
keypad if AC power is turned off and battery is connected.
SYSTEM STATUS COMMUNICATION
:
Every time a key is pressed, it illuminates and the keypad beeps
to show an entry has been recognized. There are two types of
beep tones which communicate information regarding keypad
entries to the system user.
"
CONFIRMATION
" beep:
If an operation (ie. arming/disarming, programming) is correctly
entered on the keypad, or the system switches to a new
status/mode, the sounder emits an
intermittent
beep tone.
"
END
/
REJECTION
" beep:
If the system reverts to previous status, or an operation is incorrect-
ly entered on the keypad, sounder emits a
continuous
beep tone.
PROGRAMMING THE ESPRIT 727
Esprit system programming is performed from the keypad. The sys-
tem contains programmable memory (EEPROM) which does not
erase, even after total battery and AC loss. System automatically
reverts to "pre-power failure" status once battery/AC power are
restored. Please note: If system was "
armed
" prior to AC/battery
failure, it reverts to "armed" status approx. 2 minutes after power is
restored, to allow motion detectors sufficient time to warm up.
All programming pertaining to control panel operation is stored in
EEPROM sector which can only be accessed by entering the sys-
tem installer code. With the exception of the factory-set
installer
code 0000
and
master code 0101
