RWA-Emergency Power Control
System
The RWA-Emergency Power Control System is the central control unit to which all the
other components are connected. The RWA-Emergency Power Control System controls the components and supplies them with power.
The type designation of the RWA-Emergency Power Control System specifies the
maximum permissible output current for the drives and the number of ventilator
groups that can be connected:
Type designationMaximum output
current to the drives
E 260 N2/12.0 A *1
E 260 N4/1 to E 260 N4/24.0 A1–2
E 260 N8/1 to E 260 N8/47.5 A1–4
E 260 N12/1 to E 260 N12/212 A1–2
* or 2 x E205/206 drives, E212-24 V
The number before the slash specifies the power group, the number following the
slash gives the number of ventilator groups which can be connected.
Alarm groupThe RWA-Emergency Power Control System has one alarm group. The alarm group
consists of two lines:
•An RWA switch line
•A smoke/heat differential sensor line
If either of these lines triggers the alarm, the drives of all of the ventilator groups will
be actuated in accordance with the set alarm program.
Moreover, the alarm group can be connected to an external fire alarm system. If the
external fire alarm system triggers a fire alarm, it starts the same alarm program as
for an alarm from an RWA switch or smoke/heat differential sensor.
Ventilator groupsDepending on the version, the RWA-Emergency Power Control System supports one,
two, three or four ventilator groups. Each ventilator group has two lines:
•A drive line
•A ventilator switch line
All drives for a ventilator group are controlled jointly by one of the associated ventilator
switches or by the optional timer switch.
Maximum number of
ventilator groups
18
Ventilator groups cannot be retrofitted.
Rain/wind sensorYou can connect a rain/wind sensor, which closes all the windows in the event of rain
or strong winds. The ventilator switches are disabled as long as the rain/wind sensor
is active.
SignalsAn optional daughter card provides 3 additional contacts for signals or alarm lines:
•Alarm: On which you can, for example, connect an audible alarm or an alarm line
to the fire station.
•Fault: On which you can, for example, connect a warning lamp.
•Window Open: On which you can, for example, connect a warning lamp.

2.4.2Ventilator groups
A ventilator group consists of a ventilator switch line and a drive line to open and close
the windows. As an option, a timer switch can be connected to the ventilator switch
line.
Every drive in a ventilator group reacts simultaneously to the signal from any ventilator switch or timer switch for this ventilator group.
One ventilator group is integrated on the main circuit board. For additional ventilator
groups, optional daughter cards are added.
Additional ventilator groups cannot be retrofitted; the number of additional ventilator
groups must be specified in the order.

DrivesThe drives of a ventilator group are connected in line. Some of the drives recom-
mended by GEZE have an integrated line monitor, which transmits an error message
to the RWA-Emergency Power Control System in the event of line break.
For the windows and smoke extraction vents you must use 24 V DC drives with an
integrated limit (end position) switch. Recommended drives are:
•GEZE actuating, spindle and chain drives
•Drives which conform with the GEZE specifications
Maximum number of drives:
The total number of drives on a RWA-Emergency Power Control System is limited by
the maximum output current of the RWA-Emergency Power Control System:

E 260N 12/1 to E 260N 12/212 A
Ventilator switchesThe ventilator switches for a ventilator group are connected in a line. Every ventilator
switch on the line simultaneously controls all the drives which are connected to its
ventilator group.
Maximum number of ventilator switches:
•3 ventilator switches with LED, types E 50/5 or E 50/7
•any number of ventilator switches without LED, types E 50/1 or E 50/3
Timer switchAs an option, a timer switch - such as the GEZE 2-channel timer switch - can be con-
nected to each ventilator switch line. The timer switch must be set to pulse rather than
continuous signal.
Since the timer switch and ventilator switch are considered as equal control elements,
the RWA-Emergency Power Control System will react to the last signal received.

Connection diagramsYou will find the connection diagrams in the packaging of the RWA-Emergency Power
Control System.
Cable lengths/cross-sectionsPlease comply with the requirements for the cross-section of the cables to the drives:
•The formula for the required cable cross-section based on the cable length and
the total current (of all drives):
Required cable cross-section = cable length x total current / 73
•Minimum cross-section: 1.5 mm
•Maximum cross-section (limited by the diameter of the wiring terminals):
maximum 4.0 mm

1. Break out the openings in the case required for the lines.
2. Insert cable glands (2) (not included in the delivery) to achieve the required
protection type (see table below).
3. Feed the cables through the case and the cable glands into the RWA-Emergency
Power Control System.
4. Feed the cables to the wiring terminals (1).
The enclosure of the RWA Emergency Power Control System without cable lead-in
fulfils degree of protection IP54.
The degree of protection of cable glands with sealing ring is also IP54.
Thus, the maximum possible degree of protection for the enclosure is achieved by
using cable glands with sealing ring.
The recommended sequence for connecting the components is as follows:
1. Connect the RWA switch, smoke sensor and heat differential sensor for the alarm
group.
2. Connect the drives and ventilator switches (possibly timer switch) from ventilator
group 1.
3. Connect consecutively the drives and ventilator switches (possibly timer switches)
from the other ventilator groups.
4. Connect external equipment: Rain/wind sensor, fire alarm system, floating
(potential-free) contacts for Alarm, Fault and Window Open.
30
Check connectionsBefore connecting to the mains and to the battery, check the following:
•the component connections
•the configuration (jumper settings)
•that the cable clamps are firmly fixed
Things that are often forgotten•The two terminating resistors should only be left in the last RWA switch on the line.
F3
•Install a terminating resistor in the last smoke sensor or heat differential sensor on
the line.
•Install a terminating resistor at the "External alarm" input.
•In the case of drives without line monitoring, connect the line monitor terminal to
GND (see connection diagram).
•If a ventilator group has not been used, connect the line monitor terminal to GND
(see connection diagram).
Connecting the mains and batteriesAfter you have connected and configured all the components and checked the con-
nections, connect the battery and mains supply.

precautions to prevent others from switching it back on.
1. Check - with the mains power switched off - that the terminals and mountings are
tight.
2. Check the power supply unit and charger.
3. Check the batteries.
4. Check the ventilation operation (opening and closing, LEDs).
5. Check the alarm functions (smoke sensor, heat differential sensor, RWA switch,
coupled RWA-Emergency Power Control System) both operating from the mains
as well as from emergency power (battery).
6. Check external connections (such as rain/wind sensor).
