Limitations of the Alarm System or Device

While your alarm system or device is reliable and sophisticated, it does not offer guaranteed protection against burglary, fire or other emergency. Any security product, whether commercial or residential, is subject to compromise or failure-to-warn for a variety of reasons. These include:

• Individuals may gain access through unprotected openings or have the technical sophistication to

bypass an alarm sensor or disconnect an alarm warning device.

• Monitoring devices will not operate without power. Devices powered by AC will not work if their AC

power supply is off for any reason. If system has battery backup, batteries that are not maintained can fail to provide the necessary power for devices to function properly.

• Alarm warning devices such as sirens, bells, and horns may not alert people or awaken sleepers if they

are located on the other side of closed or partly closed doors. If warning devices are on a different level of the residence from the bedrooms, they are less likely to awaken or alert people inside the bedrooms.

• Telephone lines needed to transmit alarm signals from a premises to a central monitoring station may

be out of service, and are subject to compromise by sophisticated means of attack.

• Signals sent by wireless transmitters may be blocked or reflected by metal before they reach the alarm

receiver. Even if the signal path has been recently checked during a weekly test, blockage can occur if a metal object is moved into the path.

• Even if the system responds to the emergency as intended and is a monitored alarm system, the

authorities may not respond appropriately.

• This equipment, like other electrical devices, is subject to component failure.

• The most common cause of an alarm system not functioning properly is due to inadequate

maintenance. Your alarm system should be tested weekly to make sure all detection devices are operating properly. Your control panel and keypads should be tested as well.

Installing an alarm system may make you eligible for lower insurance rates, but an alarm system is not a substitute for insurance. Homeowners, property owners, and renters should continue to insure their lives and property.

General Information

Overview

The EnviroAlert® EA800 Multi-Zone Environmental Alarm System monitors the environmental conditions detected by the sensors connected to the base unit, and provides alarm signals when monitored conditions at any of the sensors exceed the user-programmable HIGH LIMIT or LOW LIMIT set points. The alarm signals are provided via relay outputs that can operate with process controls, security systems, or other similar automated equipment. The EA800 Alarm System can be configured with wired or optional wireless sensors (sold separately). The EA800 allows connection of up to 4 wired and 4 wireless sensors.

Setup and programming is done using the front panel keys and the liquid crystal display (LCD) on the base unit. The display assists the user during setup, and shows measured conditions for the monitored environment during operation.

The EA800 can monitor multiple critical environments using multiple sensor inputs. Each sensor input/alarm channel is designated a “Relay”.

Using the appropriate accessory sensors (sold separately), the EA800 Alarm System monitors and provides alarms for the following conditions:

■ Normally open/normally closed contacts

■ Temperature: from -80° C to 150° C (-112° F to 302° F)

■ Humidity: from 5% to 95% RH (non-condensing)

■ Presence of water

■ Any sensor with a 4-20mA interface

The EA800 base unit may be mounted directly to a 3-gang electrical enclosure or to walls. The wireless sensors are easily mounted to the wall. Figure 1 shows the base unit and a wireless sensor.

General Information

Monitoring Screens

The EA800 user interface is menu-based. During normal system monitoring, one of the following three screens is displayed depending on the current state of the programmed sensors:

The MONITORING (home) screen is displayed when there are no active alarms. The screen lists all programmed sensors connected to the base unit and their current reading or state.

The MONITORING (home) screen displays pending alarms in reverse video as shown in the example at right (71° exceeds the temperature limit for Sensor 2, so it is shown as light text on black). Pending alarms indicate that the programmed limits for the sensor have been exceeded, but the sensor’s programmed delay time has not elapsed yet. If the monitored conditions continue to exceed the programmed limits for longer than the programmed delay period, the pending alarm will become an active alarm.

The ACTIVE ALARMS screen is shown when one or more sensors are in an active alarm or warning state. If more than one alarm is active, each will be listed on the screen. In the example shown, Walk-in Cooler and Warehouse alarms are occurring simultaneously.

Power Supply / Sensor Voltage Selection

In order to determine the power supply voltage necessary to ensure correct full-scale operation, it is necessary to identify all voltage drops within the current loop.

Figures 6 and 7 show an EA800 drop of 4.0 VDC. This value accounts for the voltage drop generated by connecting the 4-20mA sensor to the EA800 using 1000 feet of 22 AWG wire.

Now it is only necessary to identify the operating voltage range of the 4-20mA sensor, more importantly the minimum operating voltage. Once identified, the minimum operating voltage of the sensor can be added to the

4.0V voltage drop of the EA800 (+ wire) to determine the power supply voltage necessary to ensure correct full-scale operation.

Example:

■ Assume that a 4-20mA sensor whose operating input voltage range is 10 – 30V has been selected for use.

Therefore the minimum operating voltage of the sensor is 10V (V

). When the 4.0V drop of the EA800

sensor

(and wire) is added, it can be determined that at least 14VDC is needed to power the loop.

■ If the EA800 is connected to a 12VDC power supply, use of the sensor in this example requires an external

power supply of at least 14V as shown in Figure 7.

It is important to not exceed the maximum operating voltage of the 4-20mA sensor, as specified within the sensor’s product specification.

The following formula provides the basis for the selection matrix shown in Table 7. Please use Table 7 to select either the proper sensor rating to be used with a known power supply, or select a power supply for a known sensor rating.

Parameter Applicable to Sensors Description

Sensor Name All A name used to identify the sensor in the alarm system. Select a name

readily identified by the viewer. The sensor name is displayed on the Main screen during a no-alarm condition and on the Alarm screen during an alarm condition. Two name choice types are available:

• Common Name: These are preprogrammed names.

• Custom Name: This selection allows you to enter any name if the preprogrammed common names do not adequately identify the sensor in the system (limited to 16 characters).

Note: Duplicate sensor names are not permitted.

Unit of

Measure

• Blue, Red and White temperature sensors

• 4-20mA sensor

• Wireless temperature sensors

This parameter allows you to choose the unit of measure used for sensor reading and display.

• Blue, Red and White temperature sensors: °C or °F

• 4-20mA sensors: the following Common Units of measure are available: F (Fahrenheit), C (Centigrade), K (Kelvin), % rh (percent relative humidity), psi (pounds per square inch), Pa (Pascals), kPa (kiloPascals), lb (pound), kg (kilogram)

• 4-20mA sensors can also use custom units. Enter the appropriate units for the connected 4-20mA sensor via the keypad.

Resolution 4-20mA sensor This determines the range that may be used for the 4-20mA sensor. The

full scale range is determined by the values entered in the Low Scaled Value and the High Scaled Value. You must select the correct resolution in order to set the true range limits for the 4-20mA sensor you are installing. The available values are as follows:

Maximum Allowed Maximum Allowed

Resolution Low Scaled Value High Scaled Value

1. -9999. +9999.

0.1 -999.9 +999.9

0.01 -99.99 +99.99

0.001 -9.999 +9.999

Low Scaled

Value

4-20mA sensor This parameter equals the environmental reading that results in a sensor

output of 4mA or its minimum valid reading. This is dependent on the setting of the resolution as discussed above.

High Scaled

Value

4-20mA sensor This parameter equals the environmental reading that results in a sensor

output of 20mA or its maximum valid reading. This is dependent on the setting of the resolution as discussed above.

Hysteresis • Blue, Red and White

temperature sensors

• HA-III+

• 4-20mA sensor

The Hysteresis setting helps prevent alarms from being set and reset continually if the environment is at or near the alarm set point by providing an acceptable variance. For example, if Hysteresis is set at 2 and the sensor High limit is set at 50, the sensor reading must decrease to 48 (50 minus 2) in order for the alarm condition to reset to a no-alarm condition.

Low Alarm

Limit

• Blue, Red and White temperature sensors

The Low Alarm Limit sets the value that trips the low alarm when exceeded.

• HA-III+

• 4-20mA sensor

• Wireless humidity sensor

• Wireless temperature sensor

Alarm Delay

Time

All This sets the time period that an alarm condition can exist before the

alarm is triggered. This is useful for helping to prevent false alarms from occurring in situations where normal activities cause conditions to temporarily exceed alarm thresholds. For example, the temperature in a freezer may temporarily rise above the High alarm limit while frozen food is being restocked and the freezer door is open, but the delay prevents the alarm from going off unless the temperature fails to cool below the alarm threshold within the alarm delay period.

Relay Operation

This section describes the operation of the base unit's relays. The relays must be programmed correctly so that their outputs provide the desired signaling to the alarm panel.

Preparation

CAUTION

Before you begin installation, ensure that you properly plan the alarm system. During the planning phase you will generate all the documentation you need to successfully install the EA800 base unit and sensors in the alarm system. This is important because complete and accurate installation documentation aids in system maintenance later.

If the EA800 base unit will be connected to a remote alarm panel, do not connect the base unit to the alarm panel until after sensor connection and configuration is complete. Connecting the remote alarm panel before configuring the EA800 sensors will result in false alarms at the remote panel.

The suggested preparation procedure is as follows:

1. Read and understand the entire manual. General Information provides important information required to

properly plan, install, and use the EA800. The preparation phase helps ensure that the EA800 system will function as required.

2. Photocopy the pages of Appendix B: Planning Worksheet, Appendix C: EA800 Wiring Diagram (one for each

EA800 base unit in the system), and Appendix D: System Configuration Record to create a record of the specific EA800 alarm system installation you are currently working on.

3. Draw a floor plan for the facility where you will install the EA800 alarm system. Identify important details such

as the coolers, doors, computer rooms, etc. An example is shown below.

made regarding a location that discourages unauthorized access. If using wireless sensors, locate the base unit to minimize the wireless distance. Ensure that the desired mounting locations for the EA800 base unit and each sensor comply with the environmental specifications listed in Table 13: Specifications.

Do not install the EA800 base unit in coolers or freezers.

Use only wired sensors specified in this manual for the INPUT 1 through INPUT 4 connections. Unverified sensors may damage the EA800 or result in improper or unreliable operation.

5. Complete the copy of Appendix B: Planning Worksheet for the facility in which the EA800 system is to be

WARNING

CAUTION

installed. This must include all monitored areas for the total security system so that you know how many EA800 base units are needed.

6. Determine the sensors required from the Planning Worksheet you completed and the information provided for

each sensor type in “System Configuration”. Enter these in the copy of the System Configuration Record you made.

Note: When water sensors are required, you must use at least one supervised water sensor and may add up to

five additional unsupervised water sensors, all in parallel. Thus, an alarm on any sensor will result in an alarm with no way to determine which sensor is the source.

7. Enter the sensor information in the copy of the EA800 Wiring Diagram you made. It is a good idea to name

each sensor on this diagram and use that name in both the EA800 Wiring Diagram and the System Configuration Record. This helps ensure proper programming of the system after you have physically installed the system.

EA800 relay outputs are intended only for use as low-voltage, low-current alarm connections, and not for direct switching or control of AC-mains powered loads. Additionally, local codes may further dictate or limit the types of loads and associated wiring to be used with the low-current Form C relay outputs used with the EA800. Connecting AC-mains type circuits to the EA800 may result in an electric shock and/or fire hazard.

Do not connect a load to the AUX OUT or OUTPUT 1 through OUTPUT 8 relay outputs that exceeds limitations stated in the Specifications section of this manual. Loads exceeding the specified limitations may damage the EA800, or result in improper or unreliable operation.

8. Using the floor plan you created, identify the specific locations for each sensor and verify that their locations

meet the specifications. See Specifications for operational parameters such as cable length.

Note: For 4-20mA sensors: See 4-20mA Sensors for a discussion of determining the constraints for your

4-20mA sensor to ensure accuracy over its rated range.

9. Determine the channel to use for the wireless sensors. If more than one EA800 is being installed on-site, it is

recommended that they be configured to use different channels.

10. The wireless sensor must be located so that the wireless signal strength is adequate as outlined in Winland

Application Note AN00101. You must verify that the wireless sensors can communicate with the base unit before you permanently mount them.

Note: Certain environments may present conditions that intermittently cause interference with wireless sensor

to base unit communications. You should understand the environment in which the EA800 is to operate to minimize their affects on system performance.

11. Decide the loop design you will use. Figure 9 shows an alarm loop where alarm power is derived from the

alarm loop. Figure 10 shows an alarm loop where alarm power is derived from the power supply feeding the EA800.

Note: if using a self-powered loop, ensure the power supply can provide power for all loading conditions.

Power Requirements

All power terminals must be connected to a Class 2 power limited circuit complying with the National Electric Code NFPA 70, Article 725. Where required, this equipment is to be isolated from the mains supply by a limited power source as specified in EN60950.

Connect only sensors specified in this manual to the wired and wireless input connections. Using sensors not specified in this manual may damage the EA800 or cause improper or unreliable operation.

The EA800 printed circuit board (PCB) contains electrostatic discharge (ESD) sensitive devices. To help prevent damage caused by ESD, observe appropriate ESD handling rules whenever the PCB in the EA800 is exposed.

Batteries shall not cause explosion or produce a fire HAZARD as a result of excessive charge or discharge, or if a battery is installed with incorrect polarity.

If the equipment is used in a manner not specified by the manufacturer, the protection provided by the equipment may be impaired.

Mounting the EA800 Rear Plate

The base unit has a removable rear plate that may be attached to a 3-gang electrical enclosure or directly to a wall.

1. Remove the rear mounting plate from the base unit as follows:

■ Pull the rear mounting plate down and away from the EA800 main chassis. The retainer tabs on the main

chassis disengage from the holes in the rear mounting plate.

■ Completely remove the mounting plate from the base unit by disengaging the mounting plate hinges from the

mating tabs on the base unit.

Install the Wired Sensors

CAUTION

2. Mount the mounting plate as follows:

■ Mounting to 3-gang enclosure: Use four (4) machine screws to secure the mounting plate to the mating holes in

the 3-gang enclosure.

■ Mounting to drywall surface: Place the mounting plate in mounting position. Mark the four mounting hole

locations. Install drywall anchors and secure the mounting plate to the anchors.

Note: If wall-mounted, prepare a wiring access hole at this time. All wiring must pass through the opening in the

center of mounting plate.

Install the Wired Sensors

Install the wired sensors in accordance with the instructions provided with the wired sensors.

1. Mount each wired sensor in its designated location.

2. Label each sensor's wires for easy identification.

3. Route the wires from the sensor to the base unit and dress the wires as required by local code. It is important

to ensure that the wires are protected along their entire length, are not stressed at any point, and are adequately supported along their entire length.

4. Pass the wires through the mounted EA800 rear panel.

EA800 Base Unit Power Connections

Do not connect or disconnect power, sensor, or alarm wiring while power is applied. Connecting and disconnecting the EA800 base unit with power connected may damage the base unit or result in improper or unreliable operation.

Connection of unsuitable loads to this connection may damage the power supply and EA800 base unit, or result in improper or unreliable operation.

Note: Do not apply power to the base unit until you are ready to begin sensor programming. The base unit has

a 30-minute timer that starts when the unit is first powered up. If at least one sensor is not added and programmed within the 30-minute time period, an alarm will occur.

1. Using a terminal block adapter, connect power supply + and - leads to POWER IN (+) and (-) on J5. Observe

proper polarity. If using a transformer, ensure that the transformer is an isolated power supply.

2. If Aux Power Out is to be used, connect + and - leads to AUX POWER OUT (+) and (-) on J5 using a terminal

block adapter.

Programming

When powered-up, the EA800 is ready for programming. The following is an overview of the general process for programming the EA800:

■ View the MAIN MENU and unlock the EA800 as described in “Accessing the MAIN MENU for Programming” on

page 28.

■ Set the system configuration as described in “Configuring System Parameter Settings” on page 28.

■ Set the current date as described in “Setting the Current Date” on page 31.

■ Set the current time as described in “Setting the Time” on page 32.

■ Add the wireless sensors. See the appropriate subsection under “Adding Wireless Sensors” on page 33.

■ Add the wired sensors. See the appropriate subsection under “Adding Wired Sensors” on page 43.

■ Verify performance of the wireless sensors. See “Verify Wireless Signal Strength” on page 42.

■ Configure the relays. See “Configuring the Relays” on page 48.

Note: When no sensors are programmed in the EA800 system, the EA800 base unit boots up with a 30-minute

delay before the alarm buzzer sounds. At this time the Alarm screen is displayed with a System Alarm caused by the fact that no sensors have been programmed yet. To prevent the System Alarm from going off, you must program at least 1 connected sensor into the EA800 base unit prior to the end of the 30-minute alarm time-out. If the alarm buzzer sounds press the Alarm Silence key to temporarily silence the alarm buzzer.

Adding Wireless Sensors

No Data is displayed until a signal is received and then the

signal strength is displayed as shown in the last screen.

Verify Wireless Signal Strength

After temporarily mounting the wireless sensors in the desired location, verify the signal strength at the base unit by performing the following procedure to verify the signal strength of each programmed wireless sensor. It may take as long as 30 seconds to acquire the current signal strength.

Perform the following procedure to verify the signal strength of each programmed wireless sensor.

If No Data is displayed in place of bars, it indicates that recent signal strength information has not been received. If this persists for 1-2 minutes without displaying any performance bars, it is a strong indication that your sensor is placed out of range with the base unit.

If fewer than two bars are shown, it is recommended that the sensor be relocated to obtain a better signal. Refer to the instruction sheet included with the wireless sensor for details on ensuring optimum signal strength.The wireless environment can change throughout the day because of other activity in the vicinity. It is therefore important to verify the signal strength by approximating the worst case scenario the RF signal may encounter.

Editing Sensor Parameters

The general procedure for editing sensor parameters is provided below. Not all sensor parameters can be edited for an installed sensor. The editable parameters are dependent on the installed sensor, so the EDIT SENSOR screen varies according to the sensor selected. You cannot edit the following:

■ The low and high scaled values for a 4-20mA sensor. If these require changes, you must delete the 4-20mA

sensor and re-add it to the system. See “Connecting Wired HA-III+ Humidity Sensors” on page 25.

■ A sensor’s type. For example, if a 4-20mA sensor was incorrectly added as a Blue temperature sensor, you

must delete the incorrect sensor and then re-add the correct sensor.

■

The unit of measure. If unit of measure must be changed, the sensor must be deleted and re-added to the system.

Note: Update the system’s Configuration Worksheets to document changes.

Exporting the Stored Logs

You can export the logs stored in the EA800 for archiving or later review. The export procedure exports the alarm log, data log, and event log files. To export the logfiles perform the following procedure:

The EA800 stores the log files on the USB drive in comma separated value (CSV) format. The files are named in the format XYYMMDD-HHMMSS.txt where:

■ X = A, E, or D:

• A = Alarm log file

• E = Event log file

• D = Sensor data log file

■ YYMMDD is the current date.

■ HHMMSS is the current time in 24 hour format.

You can rename the files to more easily identify the EA800 system they came from, however, the first character designating the log type (A, E, or D) must be retained if using the template available at www.winland.com. Because the files are in CSV format they can be converted to tables in a word processing program or imported into a spreadsheet program.

Verifying RF Signal Strength

Viewing Signal Strength for a Wireless Sensor

To verify the RF signal strength received by the EA800 perform the following procedure:

If the remote sensor transmitter you are verifying is battery powered, it may take up to 30 seconds for the base unit to receive a transmission from the remote sensor.

The base unit displays an approximation of signal strength as indicated by the number of filled boxes on the screen as shown at right.

Note: The date and time shown at the bottom of the PERFORMANCE screen is the

time stamp of the last received transmission.

Ensure that at least 2 Signal Strength bars are displayed as shown at right. If not, it is recommended that the sensor be relocated until at least 2 bars are achieved. More bars reduces sensor alarm latency, reduces the probability of communication alarms, and increases battery life.

For additional information on how to improve signal strength, refer to Winland application note AN00101.
