1. Introduction

The Remote Receivers used for connection to the EMS 5000 FirePoint Control Panel are detailed in the following instructions. Two types of remote receiver can be used with the system, both of which are hardwired to the Control Panel via 2 core screened cable.

The Model 53-5428 is a UHF remote receiver capable of receiving UHF signals from a number of transponder units on site. The transponder units are wireless devices, which receive information from detectors and then re-transmit this information to the UHF remote receiver, thus improving the overall range coverage of the system. This information is then sent to the control panel via cable (FP200). A maximum of 28 remote receivers can be connected to the Control Panel. A block diagram of a system using the UHF remote receiver is shown in Figure 1.

The Model 53-5414 is a VHF remote receiver capable of receiving VHF signals directly from all types of detectors, thus improving the overall range coverage of the system. This information is then sent to the control panel via cable (FP200). A maximum of 28 remote receivers can be connected to the Control Panel. A block diagram of a system using the VHF remote receiver is shown in Figure 2.

2. Tools & Test Equipment

Only standard hand tools are required to install the Remote radio receiver system. No special test equipment is needed when installing the receiver, although signals from devices can be seen if a computer with a terminal programme is connected to the system.

This gives a visual indication that the remote receivers are passing device data to the main control panel.

3. Receiver Position

The maximum range between remote receiver and any device is dependant upon the environment in which the system is operating. The actual range achieved is determined by local site conditions. For range improvements high gain aerials can be attached to the remote receivers. The table below indicates relevant aerials:-

4. UHF Remote Receiver Relevant high gain aerials

5-5501/High gain aerial c/w 3 metres of cable and bracket.

5-5501/BP10/High gain aerial c/w 10 metres of cable, wall mounting bracket and extension pole.

5-5501/BP20/High gain aerial c/w 20 metres of low loss cable, wall mounting bracket and extension pole.

5-5501/BP30/High gain aerial c/w 30 metres of low loss cable, wall mounting bracket and extension pole.

5. VHF Remote Receiver Relevant high gain aerials

5-5500/Dipole aerial c/w 10 metres of cable and bracket.

5-5500/10 High gain external aerial c/w 10 metres of cable, wall mounting bracket and extension pole.

5-5500/20 High gain external aerial c/w 20 metres of low loss cable, wall mounting bracket and extension pole.

When selecting a site for the receiver, the installing engineer should be aware that the aerial should be as far away from other electrical / electronic equipment as possible and a minimum of 3 metres from any such equipment. Locating the receiver closer than this will affect the systems performance. Metal objects such as filing cabinets, pipe work, radiators and air conditioning ducts will also adversely affect the performance of the system if they are too near the receiver antenna.

6. Electrical Installation

6.1 UHF Remote Receiver

The UHF remote receiver 53-5428, should be wired as shown in the supplied drawing PO3045.

The following paragraphs outline the installation in a step by step format.

Remove the four lid retaining screws situated on the front cover. The front section of the unit can now be removed.

Four fixing holes are available for the unit’s installation. These are clearly visible on the

outside of the casing.

Offer the back box up to the wall and check that the rear tamper switch operates. Should the microswitch not operate, remove the unit from the wall and carefully adjust the microswitch arm. Once the microswitch operates correctly the unit can be fixed to the wall and all external wiring connections made.

The diagram PO3045 shows the wiring connections required for the remote receiver. Only those cables needed to make the remote receiver function should be routed into the case. The Remote Receiver must NOT be used as a junction box or cable termination point as this will adversely affect the performance of the system.

When all connections have been made to the remote receiver the battery can be connected, the lid can be re-fixed and mains voltage can then be applied.
