1. Introduction
The Menvier30 is a control unit for a hybrid
wired/radio alarm system intended for commercial
or large domestic use.
The control unit comprises a steel case containing
the control unit PCB (printed circuit board), power
supply and space for a 17Ah backup battery.
The control unit PCB provides terminals for a
single bus. The bus allows you to connect up to
10 bus devices using standard four wire alarm
cable. The bus devices can be any mixture of
keypads, zone expanders (for wireless or wired
detectors) or remote power supplies.
The control unit PCB also provides a range of
connectors for outputs, communicators, and up to
10 Fully Supervised Loop (FSL), or 10 two-wire
Closed Circuit Loop (CCL) or five four-wire CCL
zones.
The Menvier30 at release 4 uses keypads with
software revision 3.02 and above. The keypads
allow end users to set and unset the system, and
the installer to configure the control unit.
Note that to work correctly the Menvier30 must be
fitted with at least one wired keypad.
The following types of keypad available for
connection to the Menvier30:
i-kp01
This keypad contains an integral
proximity tag reader, allowing end
users to control the system without
having to remember access codes.
KEY-K01
This keypad has no internal prox
reader, and is supplied in a square
format case.
KEY-KP01
This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an
internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for an external
prox reader KEY-EP
KEY-KPZ01 This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an
internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for up to two
zones, a programmable output, and
an external prox reader KEY-EP
A range of wireless peripherals is available for
operation with the wireless expanders. The range
includes a door contact/universal transmitter, a
passive infra-red detector, smoke detector,
external siren, 4 button remote control, and
remote radio keypad.
This control unit is designed and approved to be
used as part of a Security Grade 2 system.
Zone Number Allocation
The way in which zones can be provided by
expanders depends on the presence or absence
of KEY-KPZ01 keypads on the bus.
Without KEY-KPZ01s:
Only two of the 10-zone expanders connected to
the system can have detectors associated with
them. Similarly, only one 30-zone expander can
have up to 20 zones allocated to it.
With KEY-KPZ01s:
With one to five KEY-KPZ01 keypads connected
to the bus the control unit allocates zone numbers
20 to 29 to the zones on the keypads. This means
that zones 10 to 19 are available for use with
expanders. If you connect more than five KEY-
KPZ01 keypads to the bus then the control unit
allocates zone numbers 10 to 29 to keypad zones,
and none are available for expanders.
Communications
The Menvier30 contains a built-in ATS2
communicator, allowing it to comply with EN50131
at Security Grade 2.
The Menvier30 also provides sockets for an add-
on communication module. The available modules
are:
i-dig02
(ATS2)
A switched telephone network
(PSTN) module that allows the
control unit to report alarm
information using standard
protocols such as Fast Format, SIA
and Contact ID, and can also send
text messages over the Public
Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN). The i-dig02 also allows
remote maintenance using
Eaton’s
Security Business Downloader
software.
i-sd02
(ATS2)
A speech dialler and PSTN module
that allows the control unit to send
recorded speech messages and
report alarm information using
standard protocols such as Fast
Format, SIA and Contact ID. The
module can also send text
messages over the PSTN. The i-
sd02 also allows remote
maintenance using
Eaton’s Security
Business Downloader software.
i-gsm02
(ATS2)
A GSM module that allows alarm
reporting, speech messaging and
SMS text messaging over the
mobile phone network. Note that a
SIM card is not included with the
module.
