The JA-120Z BUS back-up booster unit
The JA-120Z BUS back-up booster unit is a component
of the JABLOTRON 100 system. It serves for boosting the current
of the BUS. It provides two independent BUS branches / terminals
on the output side with 2 A maximum output current and
the maximum length is 500 m for every leg. The input terminal
is galvanically separated, this is because of safety isolation and
with a difference of potentials between the grounds on the input
and output part of the booster. The module is powered by mains
electricity and allows the connection of a back-up battery with
a capacity of up to 18 Ah. The product is sold as a module with
a JA-83PWR power supply.It is recommended to install it into
a PLV-CP-L plastic housing. The product can only be installed by
a trained technician with a valid certificate issued by an authorised
distributor.
Purpose / application
The booster significantly extends the operational range of an existing
BUS system. It serves for:
Providing sufficient current for connected devices when
the control panel output current is not enough, see Figure 1.
Extending the BUS for more than 1x 500 m (JA-101K) or 2x
500 m (JA-106K), see Figure 2.
Warning! The JA-120Z does not increase maximal number
of addresable devices available in the JA-100 system. To each
JA-120Z BUS terminal can be connected up to 50 addressable
devices.
Providing sufficient current (Figure 1)
The JA-120Z booster provides current up to 2 A on its output
terminals. There can be several BUS boosters connected to one system
and they can be connected one after the other (3 maximum).
Figure 1: 1 – Boosting the BUS output current for up to 2 A by each
JA-120Z unit
Extending the BUS (Figure 2)
The JA-120Z also behaves as a signal repeater and it allows BUS
extension by every booster for about 2x 500 m. There can be several
BUS boosters connected to one system and they can be connected one
after the other (3 are maximum).
For further BUS extension a maximum of one JA-110T isolator can be
connected to JA-120Z output terminals.
The JA-120Z booster has galvanically separated input and output
terminals from its own booster electronics. It ensures immunity against
interference by various potentials between buildings or various power
systems.
Product behaviour description
Output terminals (18) are protected by an electronic fuse against
overloading (short circuit or current taken from the module higher than
2 A). If overloading ends, then the output voltage is recovered
automatically. The booster also informs the control panel about mains
faults, failures or low battery indication. The backup battery (5) is
protected against deep discharging when a mains fault lasts for a longer
period. If the backup battery voltage drops below 9.7 V, the module is
then switched off and all devices connected to its output terminals
report faults.

The booster occupies one position in the control panel. Line voltage
drops are always related to branches connected to the output part of the
booster. See a more detailed description in the chapter Setting the
module properties.

Installation
The JA-120Z booster is supplied as a module with a power supply.
We recommend installation in a PLV-CP-L plastic housing. When an
alternative installation box is to be used, always connect the tamper
contacts to the terminals (17).
Installation in a PLV-CP-L plastic housing - description:
1. Punch the holes in the PLV-CP-L (11) plastic housing for BUS cables
and supply cable.
2. Install the rear tamper contact (10).
3. Put the cables through and attach the rear plastic housing part on
selected place.
4. Install the JA-83PWR power supply (1) and booster module (9) inside
the housing and fix it with 4 screws (7) to the position marked on
Figure 3.
5. Plug the front and rear tamper contact (10) into the connectors (17)
on the module. Block any unused tamper inputs by jumper (pins are
next to every connector on the left side).
6. Connect the BUS cable from the control panel (13) and BUS output
cables (18).
When connecting the module to the system
BUS, always switch the power off.

7. Connect the power supply connector (8) to the terminal (12) and plug
in the back-up battery. Fix the back-up battery using the prepared
strap (6). Mind the correct polarity (red +, black -). Typical back-up

9. Proceed according to the control panel installation manual. Basic
procedure:
a. When the module is switched on, the yellow LED (14) starts
flashing repeatedly to indicate that the module has not been
enrolled into the system.
b. Go to the F-Link software, select the required position in
the Devices tab and launch the enrolment mode by clicking
on the Enroll option.
c. Click on the Add new BUS devices option, select the JA-
120Z module and confirm its enrolling by a double-click –
the yellow LED (14) goes off.
10. Close the front cover of the PLV-CP-L plastic housing.
11. Continue with the chapter Setting the module properties.
Notes:
The module can also be enrolled by pressing the LEARN button
(15) or by entering the production code via the F-Link software. All
digits are required (1400-00-0000-0001). The production code is
printed on the sticker under the bar code on the PCB of the
product.
If you need to remove the module from the system, erase it from its
position in the control panel.
Setting the module properties
The module properties can be set in the Devices tab of the F-Link
software. When at the module position, use the Internal settings
option to open a dialogue window where you can set the following
parameters (* factory default settings):
Tamper contacts: Enabled*: Parameters enables / disables tamper
contacts.
Disable the BUS power supply: Inactive*: By pressing a specific
button, power to the selected BUS output is switched off. Power supply
status is indicated below the BUS button. The function is meant for
temporarily switching off the power to a specific BUS because of
installation of a new device. When you leave service mode, F-Link
informs you about the switched off power for a BUS output and after
confirmation the power is switched on again. When power is restored
(mains and back-up battery), the system always switches on the power
for both terminals.

FW upgrade
A FW upgrade can be performed using the F-Link software in service
mode by a user with Service authorisation. Go to Control panel
->Upgrade firmware. All devices connected via the JA-120Z can be
upgraded. When a mains power fault or a fault of the back-up battery of
the control panel or the JA-120Z booster occurs, a FW upgrade cannot
be performed.
