Installation Manual The Controller 3-7
NOTE: JP5 Positions 1 and 2 are only for
testing and demonstration purposes; they
should not be used during normal operation.
If desired, the System Supervisor can also be
wired to trigger an external alarm (e.g. Local
Alarm)
A common System Supervisor condition is
that a large metal object (such as a food cart)
has been placed very near the Tx wand
antenna and has diminished the Tx
Activation Field.
NOTE: Receiver-related supervise events
can be reset by the Keypad for the duration
of the supervise interval. This will silence
the alarm.
Supervisor Threshold
The Supervisor Threshold Level is set using
potentiometer R26 and should be set at the
second bar from the bottom of LED13. For
more information see page B-7 (for LED13),
B-10 (for R26), and B-12 (for S3).
Power Loss Supervise Alarm
The Controller also has a Power Loss
Supervise function that will indicate that the
system power has been lost.
To activate this feature a jumper must be
placed in JP13 (Piezo Enable) and a
rechargeable 9-vold NiCad (nickel-
cadmium) battery (purchased separately)
must be installed in the battery clip
connected to P12 of the Controller.
When the battery is installed and the power
is applied to the Controller, the battery is
being trickle charged constantly. When
power is lost to the Controller, the Piezo
Alert of the Controller will sound for as long
as the 9-volt battery has enough power to
drive the Piezo.
NOTE: To avoid possible damage or wear
and tear to the battery cable, connector, the
battery itself, or interference with the wiring
within the Controller case, the battery
should be secured to the inside of the
Controller case with Velcro, Double Stick
tape, or a Tie wrap.
WARNING:
For the Power Loss Supervise function, use
a 9-volt Ni-Cad (nickel-cadmium)
rechargeable battery ONLY as other types of
batteries may explode or leak causing
damage to the Controller or injury to the
person(s) working on the equipment.
WARNING:
If a battery is not installed, make sure that
the battery clip cover is in place over the
battery lead terminals. If you have lost the
cover, then be sure to cover the terminals of
the battery clip with electrical tape or heat
shrink tubing before you apply power to the
unit. Failure to do so can result in the
terminal leads shorting to the case causing
damage to the Controller or electric shock.
