1. INTRODUCTION

The

Euro

MERiDIAN is designed and

manufactured to our ISO9001

approved quality system to offer a

choice of options to suit most

security applications.

All systems can be controlled using

PIN Codes, proximity tags or by key-

(or other) switches.

The system COM9600 DigiModem

provides for Remote Signalling,

Downloading and/or SMS text

messaging.

EN50131

Euro

-MERiDIAN is suitable for

installation in systems complying

with PD6662:2004 specified as follows

(BSIA Form 171):

Product Security

Grade

Environment

Class

G2 Endstations 1 and 2 1 and 2

G3-MSX cards 1 to 3 1 and 2

Zeroing of 'Confirm Timer' if first zone

to alarm retriggers (A.3.1).

We have a booklet available outlining

how to install to DD243:2004

specifications, request TN-DD243

from our sales office.

Compliance Statement:

The

Euro

MERiDIAN range complies

with the requirements of the

European EMC Directive (89/336/EC),

the Low Voltage Directive (72/23/EC

and 93/68/EC) & from (1/1/2006) the

“Reduction of Hazardous Substances

Directive (2002/95/EC).

Appropriate components

also comply with the

requirements of the R&TTE Directive

(1995/5/EC).

It is essential that equipment and wiring

be installed to avoid being affected by

potential sources of interference.

WARRANTY

Castle Care

Tech Ltd will repair or

MAINS ELECTRICITY IS DANGEROUS The mains connection to the End Station should comply with BS.7671, and be made by a competent electrician from the consumer unit or unswitched fused spur. NE L The mains cable should be routed through the inlet adjacent to the connector block.

POWER SUPPLIES – adequate for the load to be applied. 2. WIRING – conforms to specifications in this manual. 3. CONNECTIONS – correctly made, with no loose ‘whiskers,’ etc. When you are satisfied that all is correct: Powering Up Power up the End Station on MAINS ONLY.

PROGRAMMING THE SYSTEM CLEAN START It is essential that a ‘clean start’ be performed at initial power up of a new system, to ensure that the initialisation is correct to true factory defaults. If the Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) chip is ever removed from the End Station, it MUST be replaced before starting programming.

Each Keypad / Tag Reader can be assigned to SET and/or UNSET specified security patterns, EXCEPT for a G3+ used in LEVEL setting mode. In the case of area setting systems, it is necessary also to select the Area(s) IN – i.e. the area(s) in which the set point is located, to determine which exit route and mode applies when it is used to set the system.

Activating the nominated zone during exit time will cause the system to switch to & set pattern ‘B.’ Castle Care-Tech Ltd If 'intelligent set' is in use, the exit route must be designed so that an ‘FX’ detector can only be triggered when the system is definitely required to ‘fully’ set.

Started Manual Castle Care-Tech Ltd 12. TEST AND DIAGNOSTIC FACILITIES AUTOMATIC TESTS BATTERY TEST The system performs a check of the battery operation every 10 seconds, by dipping the power supply voltage momentarily, and measuring the system voltage. If the battery voltage measured is below 12·0v, or the battery fuse has failed, a ‘BATTERY FAULT’ warning will be generated.
PAGE 24
Started Manual Castle Care-Tech Ltd SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC FACILITIES The system diagnostics are available for all parts of the system, including any remote power supplies fitted. The diagnostic resolution is: VOLTS: 0·1 CURRENT: 0·01A System voltage and current – at End Station and at each individual power supply. System voltage – Keypad / Tag Reader at each Battery condition and charge current – at End Station or any remote power supply (under development).
