PERATION

The Quartz-G3 sounder is a high specification external warning device for use in intruder, hold-up or other alarm systems, fully meeting the requirements for EN50131-4 at Security Grade 3 and Environmental Class IV.

The Quartz-G3 sounder is used for notification of an alarm condition as generated within an intruder, holdup or other alarm system. In response to commands from the alarm system control panel, the Quartz-G3 will emit a high intensity sound and/or operate a visual flash.

The Quartz-G3 will detect any attempt to gain unauthorised access to the sounder by removal of the cover, or any attempt to remove it away from its mounting surface. This will generate a tamper signal which is normally fed back to the alarm control panel. Integrity of the Trigger command (Ring Line) connection is constantly monitored and will cause the unit to self-activate and report a tamper to the control panel if loss of connection is detected.

The Quartz-G3 is classified a self powered sounder and has an on-board battery which is recharged via the external power source. This battery is used to operate the sounder if the external power is removed. The Quartz-G3 will self actuate in the event that a tamper condition is detected or the external power to the sounder is removed.

Every 24 hours the Quartz-G3 performs a self test to check the integrity of its on-board battery, its battery charging circuit and its piezo transducers. If an error condition is detected, a fault signal is generated. This is normally connected back to the control panel. An on-board diagnostic LED guides the maintenance engineer to the source(s) of the fault.

To assist with commissioning, the Quartz-G3 has an Engineer Mode to provide silent start-up and Tamper Tones that indicate the correct closure of the tamper detection switches.

Two Comfort LEDs are used to provide a heart-beat type visual indication when the Quartz-G3 is not sounding.

UNCTIONAL INFORMATION

Tamper Circuit for Single or Multiple Cascade Installations

For single sounder installations link TS to H- and connect TR to the control panel Tamper Return input. (See Fig. 2). In cascade installations with two or more sounders, the TS (Tamper Source) will normally be connected to the TR (Tamper Return) of the next sounder except for the last unit which will have TS linked to H-. (See Fig. 3)

A Tamper signal will be generated when ANY of the following conditions exist:

- Cover removed

- Removed from mounting surface

- Connection to R- is lost

- H+ or H- power connections lost

- ENG input taken high (e.g.: to H+)

Engineer Mode

This selects silent start-up and silent maintenance. The ENG input may be brought back to the control panel and connected to a programmable output. Switching this control panel output high when maintenance is required will prevent the sounder from self activating when the cover is removed or R-

activated. The Tamper output is open when ENG is high, this prevents inadvertent system setting with the sounder left in Engineer Mode.

Self Test and Fault Output

The Quartz-G3 performs a self test every 24 hours. This function tests the condition of the battery and piezo sounders. If a fault is found the Fault output will open. The fault source can be identified using the Diagnostic LED - see “Diagnostics”. This is ONLY enabled when the cover is opened (top tamper active) for longer than 5s.

The Fault output will be cleared (output closed) when:

- the fault has been cleared, e.g. battery (re)connection

- the fault has been cleared and the sounder performs its next 24hour self test

- the fault has been cleared and the sounder has been disconnected from H+ AND the SAB battery has

been disconnected (hardware reset)

PTIONS SELECTION

Sound Cut-off Timer

The Quartz-G3 sounder will automatically stop sounding after 15 minutes unless J9 is removed, in which case the sound will cut off after 5 seconds.

Comfort LEDs

A wire loop is provided at J5 position, cutting this loop will disable the comfort LEDs.

Note 1.

Where the siren trigger is NOT pulled up to > +8.5V by the control panel when in standby mode, or is operated via volt-free contacts, it will be necessary to fit a pull-up resistor (any value between 1k0 and 10k), as shown, at the control panel to enable monitoring of the Trigger connection.

Note 2.

If preferred, pull the ENG i/p high using a programmable control panel output, rather than wiring it directly to H+.

NSTALLATION AND SET-UP

1. Select a suitable mounting position for the Quartz-G3 sounder.

2. Drill holes as required for fixing the backplate to the wall and for cable entry to the rear of the unit.

3. Fit tamper extender (if required), and trim to desired length:



4. Route cable from control panel through cable entry cowl.

5. Fit backplate to wall using minimum of 3 x No. 10 fixing screws suitable for material of mounting

surface.

OMMISSIONING

1) Cut Comfort LED loop if Comfort LEDs are NOT required.

2) Connect ENG i/p to a switched output of the control panel (set high), or to H+.

3) Apply power to the sounder via H+ and H- from control panel.

4) Connect the black battery lead to BT- (slide sleeve to expose conductor).

5) Check that tamper signal is present at the control panel.

6) Manually operate the rear tamper. As the rear tamper closes the piezo will emit a low level click.

As it opens the piezo will emit a double click. If the rear tamper extender is required, trim to length as necessary with pliers or side cutters.

7) Fix backplate securely to the wall using a minimum of 3 x No. 10 fixing screws suitable for the

material of the mounting surface. (See Fig. 4)

8) Fit cover. As the front tamper closes the piezo will emit a low level click. As it opens the piezo will

emit a double click.

9) When the cover is closed the unit will perform a self-test. This takes approximately 5 seconds. If

the battery is faulty the unit will indicate this with a series of fast clicks from the piezo. If the rear tamper is not closed the unit will indicate this with a series of slow clicks.

10) Remove cover. If connected, disconnect ENG from H+. If ENG is connected to control panel, set

output LOW. NOTE: Sounder will activate.

11) Refit the cover.

12) Test sounder by triggering R- input.

13) Test strobe operation by triggering ST- input.

14) If necessary, open the cover to fit timer link to select 15min sound -off time.

15) Re-fit cover and secure using fixing screws.

16) Disconnect H+ and check that the siren activates. Restore H+.

17) Disconnect H- and check that the siren activates. Restore H-.

18) At control panel, disconnect R-, check siren activates and reports a tamper to the control panel,

then reconnect R-

19) Commissioning complete.

AINTENANCE

The Quartz-G3 sounder should be tested for correct operation on a periodic basis. A minimum of one check every 12 months is recommended. The following features should be verified on each maintenance visit:

1) Correct operation of sounder and strobe from control panel signals

2) Correct operation of cover and rear tampers.

3) Remove the H+ supply from the control panel and check that the internal battery voltage as

measured between BT+ and BT- is greater than 6.0v dc. If the battery voltage is less than this value replace the battery and re-connect observing CORRECT polarity.

4) Check for signs of significant water or insect ingress. Clean as necessary.

SAB B

ATTERY REMOVAL

The SAB battery may be removed for disposal at end of product life or if it is detected faulty when tested (see Maintenance above). To remove the battery, disconnect red and black leads from BT+ and BT- and unclip battery from holder. To fit a new battery, clip into holder, route battery cables around clips and reconnect positive (RED) lead to BT+ and negative (BLACK) lead to BT-. IMPORTANT: Ensure correct polarity of connections and that exposed battery leads DO NOT accidentally touch.

IAGNOSTICS

A green LED is provided for fault diagnosis. The Fault Diagnostic LED becomes active when the front cover is opened. Temporarily select a 5 second sounder timeout or set Engineer mode to active to ensure fault indication tracks changes in fault status.

Note: Commissioning Mode is only active when ENG is connected to 9V to 15Vdc.
