PERATION

The Quartz 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 will emit a high intensity sound and/or operate a visual flash.

The Quartz 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.

The Quartz 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 can be configured to self actuate (SAB Mode ON) in the event that a tamper condition is detected or the external power to the sounder is removed.

To assist with commissioning, the Quartz has an Engineer Mode to provide silent start-up. Two Comfort LEDs are used to provide a heart-beat type visual indication when the Quartz 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)

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 Ractivated. The Tamper output is open when ENG is high, this prevents inadvertent system setting with the sounder left in Engineer Mode (when SAB Mode = on).

PTIONS SELECTION

Sound Cut-off Timer

The Quartz sounder will automatically stop sounding after the time period selected by the Sound Cut-off Timer link, Figure 11, irrespective of the status of the sound trigger (R-) input. The 5s option is provided to reduce nuisance noise during testing.

SCB/SAB Mode

In SAB mode the sounder can draw current from both the control panel and the battery. The siren will self-activate if either of the tampers are activated.

In SCB mode the sounder draws the majority of its current from the battery to minimise drain on the control panel. This allows the user to connect multiple units to a control panel without overloading it. Select SCB mode using the link next to the terminal blocks (Figure 1.0). In this mode the sounder will NOT self activate under a tamper condition but the tamper condition will still be signalled back to the control panel. The control panel can then trigger the siren using the R– line.

Note: The siren will self-activate if the supply lines are cut in either mode.

ONNECTIONS

BT+ Positive connection to battery. BT- Negative battery connection. Connect black battery lead after power is applied.

ENG Optional engineer input for quiet operation during installation or

maintenance. In engineer test mode apply a positive signal to prevent self activation of siren by tamper condition (e.g. lid open).

H+ Permanent positive hold-off supply. H- Permanent negative hold-off supply. TS Tamper source: Connect to H– for single unit or last in line. Connect to TR of next unit for

multiple unit installation (see Figure 3.0)

Note each siren has a tamper resistance of 100Ω. TR Tamper return connection to control panel. (see Figures 2.0 and 3.0) R- Negative siren trigger. ST- Negative strobe trigger and supply.

NSTALLATION AND SET-UP

1. Select a suitable mounting position for the Quartz 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) Fit timer link to select 5s sound -off time.

2) Fit link to select SCB or SAB mode as required.

3) Connect ENG input to H+ or to a switched output of control panel set high.

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

5) Connect R-, ST- and TR to their respective outputs on the control panel.

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

7) Check tamper signal is present at control panel (circuit open). This verifies the ENG function.

8) Disconnect ENG input (or switch low from panel). Note: Sounder will operate

9) Fit cover. Sounder will stop. This verifies the tamper operation.

10) Check tamper signal is removed at control panel (circuit closed).

11) Test sounder by triggering R- input.

12) Test strobe operation by triggering ST- input.

13) Remove cover. Note: Sounder will operate and a tamper will be signalled to the control panel.

14) Remove 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) Commissioning complete.

AINTENANCE

The Quartz 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.

Dispose of used batteries in accordance
