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.
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.
5-5500/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.
The VHF remote receiver 53-5414 should be wired as shown in the supplied drawing
P03077. 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.

When all connections have been made to the remote receiver the battery can be

To allow the Control Panel and remote receivers to work together, some software
configuration will be necessary, the following instructions detail in a step by step format
how the configuration should take place for reliable communication. The menu structure
indicated at the end of this section locates the menus, which require entering.

If the system is not performing as expected in terms of range, monitoring the Comms
between the main and remote receivers may well indicate the cause of the problem (see
Figure 3).
For example, a large number of Time-outs by a particular remote indicates a poor
connection, poor screening, or the cable passing near enough to a data cable to
introduce interference onto the bus.
Once VHF Remote units have been installed and are communicating with the Control
Panel, devices should now be tested from their fixed positions.
Once UHF Remote units have been installed and are communicating with the Control
Panel, the transponder units which will send device information to the remote receiver
should be installed (see transponder installation instructions for details).
