Table 2.3 – Before Applying Power Checklist
Examine installation drawings.
Verify incoming service voltage is the value stated on the ID plate.
Ensure the unit is wired according to the included instructions.
Check all electrical connections for tightness.
Check all terminal strip connections for tightness.
If external alarm detection circuit responds to closed contacts, ensure they are wired to the proper
contacts that close on alarm.
If external alarm detection circuit responds to open contacts, ensure they are wired to the proper
contacts that open on alarm.
Verify alarm wiring has been protected by using shielded wires. Also verify proper grounding of the
shield wire, and that the wires are ran through conduit.
Ensure the white wire of the photodiode is connected to J4 terminal labeled WHT+ and the black wire
is connected to J4 terminal labeled BLK-.
CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
LIGHTING INSPECTION
To perform a lighting inspection (LI) you will be required to physically remove the connectors labeled J2 (beacon
output) and J3 (marker output). By removing these connectors, the voltage supply to the structure lights is
interrupted and the required alarm will generate. The following inspection will only test devices that the controller
is configured for.
Note!
To ensure system damage does not occur it is extremely important to remove power from the lighting
controller before removing the connectors and before reinserting the connectors to PCB1.
LIGHTING INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.
Power the 371 controller OFF. Ensure all LEDs are no longer illuminated and that no voltage is present on
J1 (input power).
2.
Remove J2 - beacon output (if no beacons are installed, skip steps 2-7).
3.
Power the controller ON and place the system into night mode by covering the photodiode.
4.
Once the alarm is active the “BEACON ALARM” LED will be illuminated.
5.
To restore (clear) the alarm simply power the controller off (see step 1) and reinsert J2 to PCB1.
6.
Power the 371 controller ON and verify the “BEACON ALARM” LED is no longer illuminated.
7.
Once the alarm has restored, power the controller OFF.
8.
Remove J3 – marker output (if no markers are installed, skip steps 9 and 10).
9.
Power the controller ON and place the system into night mode by covering the photodiode.
10.
Once the alarm is active the “MARKER ALARM” LED will be illuminated.
