Installing a new MCB in an older Vigilon
Compact panel
These instructions cover how to fit a new Master Control Board
(VCS-MCB-N) into a COMPACT-24 (non networkable) or
COMPACT-24-N (networkable) Vigilon Compact panel.
&
When a network card is to be installed
ensure a spade tab is fitted under the PCB fixing
screw
u
. Also ensure the bottom PCB fixing screw
v
is tightened to give good connection.
How to replace a MCB
There are in existence
four
variants of Vigilon Compact panels in
the field. Here are the steps to replace an old or new type
MCB
fitted in a panel.
Save Configuration to Commissioning tool
¨
If the panel is functioning correctly, before powering
down, ensure the system configuration is retrieved to
the laptop via commissioning tool.
Power down
¨
Completely power down the panel by isolating the
mains and battery supply and then remove the ribbon
cable connectors from the
MCB
.
Remove the cards
¨
Remove the Loop card(s) from the
MCB and Network
card#
. Remove
Network card#
from
MCB
and then
remove the
MCB
from the panel. (# - where applicable)
Firmware number and rotary switch setting
¨
Make a note of the firmware number on the chip in
socket IC3 of the
MCB
being replaced. Using the table
determine the applicable switch setting required and set
the rotary switch on the
new replacement MCB
.

Configuration
¨
Using a chip extractor, extract the Back up
'Configuration' chip fitted in IC16 (NVM) of the
MCB
removed from the panel and then fit the chip into
the
new replacement MCB
.
&
Where the Configuration chip is corrupt or
is incompatible then do not fit the chip into the new
replacement MCB. Instead transmit saved
configuration from the commissioning tool to the
new MCB
. The transmission must take place after
panel power up. Back up the configuration to
Card 14.
Re-fit the cards
¨
Fit the
new MCB
into the panel and reconnect the
ribbon cables, and then fit the previously removed
Network card
and Loop cards.
¨
An earth lead must be fitted between the spade tabs
u
on
MCB
and
Network card
.
Power up
Power up the mains and battery supplies to the panel.
