Electro-Detectors
Breaking the glass will cause the panel to indicate a fire condition and, if programmed, will operate any
sounders on the system. The unit is also fitted with a test facility so that the system can be tested without
the glass being broken. To operate the test facility, the special key supplied with the callpoint should be
inserted into the unit on the bottom face in the centre. This will cause the plastic front and glass to drop
allowing the unit to transmit an alarm condition. The LED will illuminate red and a low level beeping will
be emitted from the unit. The beeping will cease once the glass is replaced or the test key is removed,
however the LED will remain illuminated until the panel is reset.
To change the battery in the callpoint:- replacement part: 1 x EDA-Q690
The battery should last approximately 5 years in the callpoint. Always use batteries supplied by Electro Detectors
otherwise this will invalidate the certification. Many similar battery technologies are available but only the ones that
meet certain properties can be used with these units. The battery pack is fitted with 2xAA Lithium Thynol Chloride
cells. Min voltage 3.0V, Max 3.7V. When the battery is approaching its end of life the unit will transmit a low
battery condition, which will be indicated on the control panel. The system will still function for at least a further
60 days in this condition before the unit fails to work. Once the batteries are too flat to operate, the unit will either
indicate a “verify fail” fault, because the panel has lost communication with the device, or a battery fault will be
displayed. Should either of these be witnessed, the batteries should be changed immediately. If the unit detects a
fault with the battery a ‘battery fault’ will be indicated on the panel.
1.
Remove the back box.
2.
Remove the power link.
3.
Remove the old battery pack.
4.
Fit the new battery pack making sure t
he battery’s pins are lined up and pressed down.
5.
Press and hold the unit removal and log-on button simultaneously.
6.
With these buttons pressed down, fit the power link.
7.
Let the unit go into its log-on mode (ie three rapid beeps) and keep the buttons pressed down.
8.
After a further five seconds a series of beeps will sound, at this point release the buttons. This will
re-set the battery counter.
9.
Refit the device onto its back box.
Faults displayed on the control panel from callpoints:-
Low Battery:
The batteries are approaching their end of life. The unit will continue to operate for a
further 60 days before the batteries need to be changed.
Verify Fail:
The panel has lost communication with the device, this could be caused by the batteries
being flat, the unit failing to operate, something obstructing the radio signal path or the device not
being installed correctly with an adequate signal strength.
Battery Fault:
The unit has detected a problem with the battery.
Unit Removal:
If the unit is removed from its back box, the panel will display a unit removal/tamper
fault.
