C = device clips straight onto Programmer, 2 = in conjunction with PL-2 Programming Lead, 3 = in conjunction with PL-3 Programming
Lead

The programmer is used to set the address of the above products for use with Hochiki ESP systems. The unit is
designed to be light, robust and easy to use and operates from a single PP3 size, heavy-duty battery which gives
the capacity for up to 8,000 operations.

Keys

The TCH-B200 has 3 operating keys, a middle blue key and lower left and right grey keys, these keys have the
following functions.

 Left (grey key) key - Power On - automatically reads the address of the fitted sensor - subsequent

operations of this key will advance the programmer address in units of 10.

 Right (grey key) key - Advances the programmer address display in units of 1. Also used as the Power Off

button.

 Centre (Blue key) key - Stores the displayed address to the Sensor and is used to read the Sensor’s

analogue levels.

Operation - Address Setting

 Locate the Device onto the programmer ensuring the 3 locating pips line up with the grooves in the

programmer.

 Press the left (grey) key to switch the programmer on, a battery check message will be displayed followed by

the address of the device fitted (previously un-programmed devices will read 127).

 Select the required address by incrementing the programmer display (left grey key, 10’s, right grey key,

units). Whilst the display is showing an address different to that stored in the device, 3 dots will also flash.

 Once the wanted address is displayed press the centre (blue) key to store the address in the device. Once

the address is correctly stored the 3 dots will cease to flash and the display will show the address set.

 To program a CHQ-BS a PL-2 Programming Lead must be used, firstly connect the plug into the remote

programming socket on the TCH-B200 and then connect the black croc clip to the C terminal, and the red
croc clip to the L terminal on the base sounder. The address can now be programmed as described above.

 To program a CHQ-SIM, CHQ-POM, CHQ-WS or any HCP Manual Call Point a PL-3 Programming Lead

must be used, firstly connect the plug into the remote programming socket on the TCH-B200 and then
connect the square plug into the programming socket on the device. The address can now be programmed
as described above.

Please note that when programming CHQ-BS, CHQ-WS, CHQ-WS2 or the CHQ-WSB the maximum
address permissible is 254. Individual device and Control Panel instructions should be checked for
address range.

Operation - Analogue Level Reading

If the device is an AIC-E / AIE-E then the analogue reading should be ignored for the first 30 seconds until the
device stabilises.

To read the analogue level of a sensor:

 Locate the sensor on the programmer and switch on as described in the previous section.
 Press the centre (blue) key, an ‘A’ (for analogue value) will be displayed followed by the analogue value of

the Sensor which will be constantly updated for up to 3 minutes or until the right (grey) key is pressed to
switch the unit off.

Remote Programming Socket and Programming Leads

The remote programming socket allows the user to program other ESP devices that contain the EEPROM
technology utilising a Programming Lead.

Caution

 Only to be used with the ESP Programmer

and Hochiki loop devices.

 Do not short croc clips together.
 Remove from programmer when not in use.

PL-3 Programming Lead

Ancillary Functions

In addition to the main functions the TCH-B200 may display the following messages:

bAt

If displayed on subsequent power on, a low battery voltage should be suspected - this facility will
operate with sufficient life in the battery for approximately 3000 address setting operations left.

E0

Attempting to program an address greater than 127

E1

Attempting to program an address with no Sensor connected

E2

Cannot find Sensor on power on

E3

Non valid response from ASX sensor

E4

Cannot find a device to program

E5

Device read error

E6

Fail during analogue level reading
