• Be certain that your power source matches the rating in the specifications of this manual. If you’re not sure of the type of power supply to your facility, consult your dealer or local power company.

• Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord. Do not locate this product where the cord will be abused by persons walking on it.

RIM-600 Manual

• To reduce the risk of fire or injury to persons, read and follow these instructions:

1. Use only the specified type and size batteries.

2. Do not dispose of the batteries in a fire. The cell may explode. Check with local codes for possible special disposal instructions.

3. Do not open or mutilate batteries. Released electrolyte is corrosive and may cause damage to the eyes or skin. It may be toxic if swallowed.

4. Exercise care in handling batteries in order not to short the battery with conducting materials such as rings, bracelets, and keys. The battery or conductor may overheat and cause burns.

5. Remove main power and telephone connections before replacing the battery.

FCC Requirements

Part 68: The Chatsworth RIM-600 complies with 47 CFR, Part 68 of the rules. On the back of the unit there is a label that contains, among other information, the Certification Number and the Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) for this equipment. You must, upon request, provide this information to your local telephone company.

The REN is useful to determine the quantity of devices that you may connect to your telephone line and still have all of those devices ring when your telephone number is called. In most, but not all areas, the sum of the REN’s of all devices connected to one line should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that you may connect to your line, you may want to contact your local telephone company to determine the maximum REN for your calling area.

The applicable certification jack USOC for this equipment is: RJ11C. The facility interface code (FIC) for this equipment is: 02LS2.

A compliant telephone cord and modular plug are provided with equipment. This equipment is designated to be connected to the telephone network or premises wiring using a compatible modular jack which is Part 68 compliant. See Installation Instructions for details.

This equipment may not be used on coin service units provided by the telephone company. Connection to party lines is subject to state tariffs. Contact the state public utility commission, public service com

mission or corporation commission for information.

Should the RIM-600 cause harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may discontinue your service temporarily. If possible, they will notify you in advance. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company may temporarily discontinue service without notice and you will be notified as soon as possible. You will be informed of your right to file a complaint with the FCC. The telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations, or procedures where such action is reasonably required in the operation of its business and is not inconsistent with the rules and regulations of the FCC that could affect the proper functioning of your equipment. If they do, you will be notified in advance to give you an opportunity to maintain uninterrupted telephone service.

If you experience trouble with the Chatsworth RIM-600, or you need information on obtaining service or repairs, please contact:

If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may ask that you disconnect this equipment from the network until the problem has been corrected or until you are sure that the equipment is not malfunctioning.

Part 15: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protec tion against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.

Telephone Consumer Protection Act (Host only)

The FCC Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991 makes it unlawful for any person to use a computer or other electronic device, including FAX machines, to send a message unless such message contains, in a margin at the top or bottom of each transmitted page or on the first page of the transmission, the date and time it is sent and an identification of the business or other entity, or other individual sending the message, and the telephone number of the sending machine or such business, other entity, or individual. (The telephone number provided may not be a 900 number or any other number for which charges exceed local or long-distance transmission charges.)

To comply with this law, you must enter the following information into your RIM-600:

• Date and Time as described in the Unit Properties section of the Software Manual.

• Name and telephone number to identify the source of the FAX transmission, as shown in the Unit Properties section of the Software Manual.

General Requirements for all Automatic Dialers (Host only)

When programming emergency numbers and (or) making test calls to emergency numbers:

1. Remain on the line and briefly explain to the dispatcher the reason for the call.

2. Perform such activities in the off-peak hours, such as early morning or late evenings.

Canadian Department of Communications Statement (Host only)

Notice: The Canadian Department of Communications label identifies certified equipment. This cer-

tification means that the equipment meets certain telecommunications network protective operational and safety requirements. The Department does not guarantee the equipment will operate to the user’s satisfaction.

Before installing this equipment, users should ensure that it is permissible to be connected to the facili ties of the local telecommunications company. The equipment must also be installed using an acceptable method of connection. In some cases, the company’s inside wiring associated with a single line individual service may be extended by means of a certified connector assembly (telephone extension cord). The customer should be aware that compliance with the above conditions may not prevent deg radation of service in some situations.

Repairs to certified equipment should be made by an authorized Canadian maintenance facility des ignated by the supplier. Any repairs or alterations made by the user to this equipment, or equipment malfunctions, may give the telecommunications company cause to request the user to disconnect the equipment.

RIM-600 Manual

Users should ensure for their own protection that the electrical ground connections of the power utility, telephone lines and internal metallic water pipe system, if present, are connected together. This precaution may be particularly important in rural areas.

CAUTION: Users should not attempt to make such connections themselves, but should contact the

appropriate electric inspection authority, or electrician, as appropriate.

The Ringer Equivalence Number (REN) assigned to each terminal device denotes the percentage of the total load to be connected to a telephone loop which is used by the device to prevent overloading. The termination on a loop may consist of any combination of devices subject only to the requirement that the total of the Ringer Equivalence Numbers of all the devices does not exceed 5.0. For RIM-600, the Ringer Equivalence Number is 0.3.

RIM-600 Manual

About This Manual

This manual comprises the instructions and commands necessary to install and program the RIM-

600. Additional summary and application chapters are included to help you speed programming and to understand RIM-600’s features. You should thoroughly read this manual to establish a basic understanding of the system and keep it as a reference.

HOST INSTALLATION and CONFIGURATION

Physical Description

The RIM-600 Host is housed in a 17”w x 1.75”h x 10”d enclosure, which is 1 EIA rack-mount space high.

Front Panel Layout

The front panel contains connections for eight sensor inputs, microphone input, Ethernet port, serial port, and status LEDs. See figure below:

Figure 1: Front Panel Layout of the RIM-600 Host

1 Serial Port 2 Ethernet port (10/100Base-T) 3 Phone line 4 Sensor Inputs (8) 5 Battery Power Alarm LED 6 AC Power Alarm LED 7 External Microphone Input 8 Internal Microphone

Serial Port

The RS-232 serial port is used to configure network settings. The port operates at 9600 baud, no parity, and 1 stop bit.

RJ-45 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Port

This jack is for connecting to your network so that the RIM-600 Host can communicate with the RIM-600 Nodes and ping selected network servers and/or services. Two LEDs indicate received data (green) and transmitted data (yellow).

Phone Jack

Connect the RIM-600’s Phone jack to a standard 2-wire analog phone line. The unit dials using touch-tones, with loop start only. The RIM-600 will recognize ringer frequencies from 16 to 60 Hz and will operate with all standard analog telephone systems that accept tone dialing.

2020

Chapter 1: Installation

Certain private telephone systems and public switching equipment may not accept the unit’s dialing or may generate an unacceptable ring signal. In those cases, a dedicated line may be required for the unit. Consult the supplier of your telephone system if you encounter problems.

CAUTION: Never install telephone wiring during a lightning storm. Never install telephone

jacks in wet locations unless the jack is specifically designed for wet locations. Never touch uninsulated telephone wires or terminals unless the telephone line has been disconnected at the network interface. Use caution when installing or modifying telephone lines.

Sensor Inputs

The sensor inputs are designed to interface with

RIM-600 series sensors (See Chapter 7). The use of RJ-45 jacks for sensor inputs allows the use of existing structured cabling to connect remote sensors.

Since the sensor produces an analog signal, it must connect directly to the Host or Node. The path from the sensor to the RIM-600 unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or Switch.

Sensor Input LEDs

Each sensor input has two LEDs (red and green) to indicate the present status of the input. The key below describes the multiple modes of operation.

Mode 0: No sensor at input Green: OFF Red: OFF

Mode 1: Sensor present—No alarms Green: ON Red: OFF

Mode 2: Alarm detected but has not exceeded recognition time Green: FAST BLINK Red: FAST BLINK

Mode 3: New alarm exists and not yet acknowledged Green: SLOW BLINK Red: SLOW BLINK

Mode 4: Input is in normal range, but alarm is still unacknowledged Green: ON Red: SLOW BLINK

Mode 5: Alarm has been acknowledged, but input is still out of range Green: SLOW BLINK Red: ON

Mode 6: Sensor in trouble Green: QUICK FLASH Red: QUICK FLASH

RIM-600 Manual

AC Power and Battery LEDs

The AC Power and Battery alarm status is indicated by two red LEDs. Their modes of operation are described below.

Mode 1: No Alarm LED: OFF Mode 2: Alarm detected but has not exceeded recognition time LED: FAST BLINK Mode 3: New Alarm exists and not yet acknowledged LED: SLOW BLINK Mode 4: Alarm has been acknowledged but input is still out of range LED: ON

Microphone Jack

The Host unit comes with a built-in microphone. Directly below the built-in mic is a separate jack for connecting an optional condenser microphone to sense audible alarms, such as smoke detectors.

When an external microphone is connected, the internal microphone is disabled.

Rear Panel

The rear panel is where the main power switch is located. The main power cord attaches to the IEC320 connector. The unit can be powered from 90–260VAC 47–63Hz.

ON/OFF Switch

The on/off switch connects main power and battery power to the system. Note that the system will only turn on when main power is present. When main power fails, the internal battery will auto matically supply power to the unit.

Figure 5: Tabletop-mounted Host Unit

Power On Self Test (POST)

When the power switch is turned on, the red and green input LEDs will begin a blinking pattern to indicate that the unit is booting up and performing internal diagnostic tests. The unit will also beep once, 25 seconds after power is applied. When the LEDs stop blinking, the unit is fully booted and operational. The boot and Power On Self Test take approximately 2 minutes.

Connecting Sensors

The RIM-600 Host has eight sensor inputs. Each input can accept any sensor type. Sensors are available to monitor the following:

n Temperature n Smoke

n Humidity n Security

n Water detection n Motion

n AC voltage

n Alarm contacts from external equipment

All RIM-600 sensors connect to the Host using standard RJ-45 cables. This makes it easy to connect sensors directly to the unit. Simply plug one end of the cable into the sensor and the other end into one of the sensor inputs on the Host.

2424

Chapter 1: Installation

Another benefit of using RJ-45 connectors is that you can easily locate sensors at distant locations within your facility by using your existing structured cabling. For example: Suppose you have an RIM-600 installed in room A and you want to install a sensor in room B. If your existing cabling infrastructure has an unused cable path between room A and room B, then you simply use an RJ-45 interconnect cable to connect the

RIM-600 to the patch panel in room A, and an RJ-45 interconnect

cable from the wall jack in room B to the sensor.

CAUTION: The sensor produces an analog signal which must connect directly to the Host or

Node. The path from the sensor to the RIM-600 unit CANNOT pass through a network Hub or Switch.

Network Configuration

The RIM-600 Host has a serial port on the front panel which is used to configure network settings and security options. A dumb terminal or terminal emulation software is required to get online and set up the configuration. The port is male DTE, so you will need to use a null modem cable. Terminal communication settings must be set to:

n 9600 baud, no parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

To get online with the RIM-600, connect your terminal to the serial port and press <RETURN>. A menu will appear which will guide you through the setup.
