Ziton Radio Loop Module Programming Manual (Issue 7d) TSD022

EMS Group Head Office, Technology House, Sea Street, Herne Bay, Kent CT6 8JZ, England

1.0 INTRODUCTION

This manual provides a programming guide for the Ziton Radio Loop Module.

The Ziton Radio Loop Module comprises of a radio transceiver capable of receiving 31 radio devices. An LCD display is provided along with function buttons to allow programming and diagnostics to be carried out for associated devices.

The Ziton Radio Loop Module is capable of connection to a ZP Protocol Fire Alarm Control Panels Loop via its Loop in and out connection terminals. The Radio Loop Module is addressed on the loop via its onboard 8 way DIP switch. A total of 2 Radio Loop Modules can be fitted onto a Fire Alarm Control Panels Loop.

Compatible products for use with the Ziton Radio Loop Module are as follows;

Part Number – ZR485-3 Radio manual call point Part Number – ZR432-2 Radio multisensor detector Part Number – ZR455-3R Red radio sounder Part Number – ZR455-3W White radio sounder

Part Number – ZR455V-3RC Red radio sounder with clear beacon Part Number – ZR455V-3RR Red radio sounder and red beacon Part Number – ZR455V-3RA Red radio sounder with amber beacon Part Number – ZR451-3 Single input output unit

1.1 System Design

All installation work should be carried out in accordance with the survey and system design.

It is recommended that the Ziton Radio Loop Module and peripheral devices are located in accordance with the radio survey and system design. This should be established before installation work commences.

1.2 Handling Precautions

General; Care should be taken when handling Ziton Radio Loop Module. Avoid dropping any of the parts onto hard surfaces, as damage may occur to the case and internal circuitry.

ESD Precautions; Ziton Radio Loop Module includes components that are susceptible to damage from Electro-Static Discharge (ESD). Permanent damage may be caused to these components through routine handling if precautions are not observed. To reduce the risk of damage from ESD, the following precautions should be observed.

Minimise the handling of PCB’s which contain static sensitive devices. Where handling is unavoidable, always ensure that you have taken adequate earthing precautions. An earthed wrist strap is recommended.

When storing or transporting a “loose” PCB, always use a container, which has been designed and manufactured with ESD protective properties.

Avoid placing static sensitive devices on plastic surfaces, which may increase the risk of a static discharge.

1.3 Packaging:

All products should be kept in their packaging until they are due to be installed, to minimise the risk of damage. Retain all packaging until the installation activities have been completed. Should any product be found to be surplus to requirements, or require returning, the original packaging should be used.

The received signal strength at the Radio Loop Module from the device is shown as an LI  Dev level, therefore indicating the signal that has been sent from the device to the Radio Loop Module. The LI  Dev level is updated on every poll response (123 seconds). The forward signal strength received at a device from the Radio Loop Module is shown as an LI  Dev level, therefore indicating the signal that has been sent from the Radio Loop Module to the device. The LI  Dev level is updated every 6 hours or when requested manually by selecting the Manual Update Option from the menu.

Ch 1 LI  Dev – this indicates the received signal strength at the Radio Loop Module from the device on the first frequency channel used by the system. A level from 100 -0 is shown to indicate the levels, a table of which is shown at the end of this section.

The device to Radio Loop Module information is updated every time the device responds to a poll which is every 123 seconds. The Radio Loop Module to device information is automatically updated every 6 hours or if a manual update is requested.

The minimum recommend level is 50 points or above on each channel.

Manual Update – This menu when entered will automatically send signals from the Radio Loop Module to the individual device and ask for its current signal level status to be transmitted back to the Radio Loop Module. This will then automatically update the Signal level fields for the device. If a signal level field is still awaiting an update from a channel 0 will be shown in the field.

Ident – This menu shows the unique 5 digit identification number for the device.

Software Version – This menu shows the software version currently installed in the device.

Node Number – This menu should only be used when two Radio Loop Modules are connected to

one of the Control Panels loops. The first Radio Loop Modules Node Number should be set as 1 whilst the second Radio Loop Modules Node Number should be set as 2.

Loop Address - This menu allows you to view the device’s current loop address. A new device loop address can be selected by pressing the rotary control, thus choosing an alternative address.

Output Test – This menu allows you to turn device LED’s on.
