INSTALLATION General SAFETY SUMMARY ! Caution ! Caution The PIU and Piccolo XR Plus must be installed by qualified and authorized technicians, specifically qualified to handle high voltage if the installation involves high-voltage connections/installations. If the PIU will be installed outdoors, an outdoor plastic enclosure complying with UL60950 standard clause 6 is required. Note! See Piccolo XR Plus Screw Mounting Options (page 20) for mounting details.
Installation PIU Installation PIU Dimensions The unit dimensions are (see Figure 4): Width – 4.25" (108 mm), 4.96” 126 mm 11.46 " 291.1mm Height – 4.96" (126 mm), Height including antenna – 11.46" (291.1 mm), Depth – 1.67" (42 .6mm), Weight – 0.558 lb (253g) maximum.
Installation Before installing the PIU, verify that there is sufficient space around the unit according to the specific installation. Mounting the PIU On A Wall Using Screws 1. Secure two screws (not supplied) of maximum 0.37" (9.5 mm) head size to the wall, 3.256" (82.7 mm) apart. The wall-mounting template in Appendix D can be used to determine the space between both screws. 2. The screws must not protrude from the wall surface by more than 0.23” (6 mm) or by less than 0.16" (4 mm). 3.
Installation Mounting the PIU Using a Bracket 1. Using four M3x6 or M3x8 screws, attach a bracket (not supplied) to the back of the PIU. The upper two bracket holes must be 3.19" (81 mm) apart, and the lower two bracket holes must be 2.40" (61 mm) apart and 2.13" (54 mm) below the upper holes, as shown in Figure 6. 2.13" 54mm 2. Attach the bracket to the mounting surface. 2.
Installation PIU DIN Rail Mounting To mount the PIU on a DIN rail (not supplied), slide the PIU onto the rail at the grooves on the back of the unit. See Figure 7 and Figure 8.
Installation PIU Electrical Connections NOTE! Verify that all power connections are made in accordance with the applicable local standards. PIU Ground Connections Use the FKN8254B cable to connect the grounding cable directly to the TB connector of the PIU as shown in Figure 9. NOTE! The grounding connector is also used as an ON/OFF switch, and the unit cannot be powered on without connecting it.
Installation Power Connection The PIU can be powered by various types of supply sources: Internal (9VDC) battery; External 6V or 12V DC battery; Motorola power supplies – controllers. For example: IRRInet XL, IRRInet XM, IRRIcom, MOSCAD; 24VAC. NOTE! The unit DC voltage range is 6 to 16 volts. 9VDC Internal Battery Incorrect replacement of the battery can result in explosion! Replace only with the same or with an equivalent type of battery recommended by the manufacturer.
Installation Installation of an Internal Battery 1. Release the screw at the top of the battery chamber door, and slide the door out, as shown in Figure 10. 2. Connect the 9V battery cable (FKN8204B) to the DC power input connector on the back of the unit. 3. Connect the 9V DC battery to the cable. 4. Place the 9V DC alkaline battery in the chamber as shown in Figure 10. 5. Close the battery chamber door and secure with the screw.
Installation External Battery Power Connections ! The unit must be powered by a limited power source (12V DC) in accordance with standard UL/IEC 60950-1. See Power in Appendix A below. This connection is used for normal operation of the PIU, when radio communication is required, or when RS485 or RS232 ports are used. 1. Release the screw at the top of the battery chamber door and slide the door out, as shown in Figure 10. 2.
Installation External Power Supply Connections Use the applicable cable from the V152AH PIU installation kit to connect the PIU to Motorola standard controller power supply. 1. Release the screw at the top of the battery chamber door and slide the door out, as shown in Figure 10. 2. Connect one end of the cable to the DC power input connector on the back of the unit. 3. Connect the other end of the cable to the power supply output of a Motorola controller. 4.
Installation 24VAC Power Connections ! Caution ! The PIU must be connected to a power source equivalent to one or more of the following: a. A listed Direct plug-in unit. b. A Class II power source (defined by the National Electrical Code (NEC) and the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC). c. A power source that complies with UL1950 C1.2.1 or UL60950 C1.2.5. The unit must be powered by a limited power source (24V AC) in accordance with the UL/IEC 60950-1 standard. See Power in Appendix A below. 1.
