INSTALLATION AND OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS — PERSONAL ALARM SYSTEM

SYSTEM STARTUP AND TESTING
5.1
General
5.1.1
This section covers the initial system power up and testing of the installed
system. This section assumes that you have completed the Installation and Initial Setup
sections so you are ready to begin system tests.
5.1.2
If you are setting up the system on the bench before the field installation, you
should read this section and follow instructions as closely as possible. In this case, you
will probably jumper out unused loops since your bench test will usually not consist of
all zones. Refer to the manuals for the central control equipment you are using for this
setup information.
5.2
Power Requirements
5.2.1
The MX-2000 Control Unit is powered by its own uninterruptible power supply.
The 03RM receivers are powered by their respective PARC-3’s.
NOTE: THE HEATERS ON 03RM/WPH MODELS SHOULD NOT BE POWERED FROM
THE PARC-3. RUN A SEPARATE 12 VDC POWER CIRCUIT FOR THE HEATERS
5.2.2
The PARC-3’s are powered individually or in groups depending on the number
of 03RM’s connected to each PARC-3 and the relative location of the PARC-3’s in your
system. Regardless of the method selected, always use a dedicated DC supply (not
shared with any other system) of from 12 to 16 volts. Each PARC-3 draws approximately
35 milliamps (with no 03RM’s connected). Each 03RM requires 11 VDC minimum and
draws about 40 milliamps; 03RM/IV units draw approximately 120 milliamps. Only
uninterruptible type power supplies are recommended for powering the PARC-3’s.
5.2.3
The
Senstar
UPS-PFI is a battery backed, uninterruptible DC power supply designed
to power one or more PARC-3’s. It also provides a dry contact output to indicate when
its AC supply voltage is lost. The UPS-PFI is supplied with a plug-in, class 2, transformer
and a 12 V, 1 Amp-Hour battery pack, but it can accommodate a battery pack of up to
20 Amp-Hours. The UPS-PFI has a rated output of 1.2 Amps.
