UC-280 wireless interface 1 / 2 MFT51209

UC-280 Wireless Interface

The UC-280 is an 8-zone interface linking JA-60 wireless detectors
with hard-wired security control panels. It can also send triggering
signals to a JA-63A wireless outdoor siren and/or UC-216 and UC-222
universal receivers. Additionally, it can receive signals from Jablotron
RC-xx remote controls.

Installation

The UC-280 is designed and supplied as a PCB module for building
it into other devices like wired control panels. Use the supplied self­adhesive holders for attaching the PCB to the desired place.

A supplied self-adhesive antenna should be used for the radio
module. The antenna should be in a vertical position and should not be
installed close to any metal structures or other objects obstructing radio
signal transmissions.

Terminals and connectors
Z1-Z8 Zone 1-8 output relays’ contacts, max. 100 mA / 60 V, pulse

length can be set by 1s/3s jumper, normally closed or
normally opened mode is selected by the NO/NC jumper

COM1 common terminal of Z1-Z8 relays
TMP tamper relay output (tamper signal from wireless detectors,

a wireless siren and the UC-280 tamper switch), max.
100 mA / 60 V

BAT low battery relay output (low battery signal from wireless

detectors 1-8 or a wireless siren), max. 100 mA / 60 V

TRB trouble relay output (trouble signal from wireless detectors

1-8 or a wireless siren - e.g. lost communication), max.
100 mA / 60 V

COM2 common terminal of TMP, BAT and TRB relays
GND power supply ground terminal
SIR triggering input for activation of JA-60A wireless siren (the

siren sounds as long as this input is closed to GND, max.
15 minutes)

X input, which can trigger relay X of a UC-216 or UC-222

universal receiver when switched to GND

Y input, which can trigger relay Y of a UC-216 universal

receiver when switched to GND

OUT input, which can trigger output OUT of a UC-216 universal

receiver when switched to GND

+12V power voltage terminal

ANT antenna connector

Setting buttons:
LEARN if this button is briefly pressed, you can scroll through

the learning modes of Z1-Z8 zones and a wireless siren
SIR (a selected channel is indicated by a red flashing
LED). When this button is pressed for more than 3 sec.,
the enrolling signal for a UC-216 / UC-222 receiver will
be transmitted (learning mode of Z1-Z8 and SIR must
be closed first)

RESET if this button is briefly pressed, the learning mode of a

selected zone will be closed. When this button is
pressed for more than 3 sec., a selected zone will be
deleted (confirmed by flashing of the TMP, BAT and
TRB indicators). When this button is pressed for more
than 6 sec., all zones will be deleted (confirmed by
flashing of all indicators). Note, in order to delete all
zones, a learning mode of any zone must be selected
first.

Jumpers:
1s / 3s pulse length of 1 sec. or 3 sec. of Z1-Z8 output relays

NO / NC normally closed or normally opened mode of Z1-Z8

output relays (TMP, BAT and TRB are normally closed)

Supervision regular checking of wireless detectors’ communication

can be disabled (NO SUPERVISION position). This
setting is recommended in places with radio
interferences. When the supervision is enabled, lost
communication will trigger the TRB output relay.

Indicators:
POWER The green LED indicates the presence of the power

supply

Z1 - Z8, LED lights green when zone is occupied;
LED lights red when zone detector is triggered;

LED flashes red, when zone is in a learning mode;
LED flashes red together with the TMP, BAT or TRB

LED = tamper, low battery or trouble signal in zone

TMP tamper alarm – flashes together with a corresponding

zone indicator every 3 sec.

BAT low battery - flashes together with a corresponding

zone indicator every 3 sec.

TRB trouble or lost communication - flashes together with a

corresponding zone or SIR indicator every 3 sec.

Enrolling of wireless components

Enrolling of detectors

• Scroll to a desired zone Z1-Z8 using the LEARN button

• JA-60 detectors will be enrolled by inserting their batteries or switching

on a power supply

• Successful learning is indicated by the red LED

• If you enroll a component to a new zone, it will move from its previous

position

• Only one detector can be enrolled to each zone

Enrolling of remote controls

• Scroll to a desired zone Z1-Z8 using the LEARN button

• RC-xx remote controls will be enrolled by pressing a button (while in

pulse mode). Button A, B or double press can be enrolled.

• RC-11 or RC-86 Remote controls can be enrolled to any zone in an

ON/OFF mode by pressing both buttons and keeping them pressed for

more then 5 sec. After this the corresponding relay will switch on when

the A button is pressed, and off, when the B button is pressed.

• If a combination of double press and ON/OFF mode is required, the

ON/OFF mode must be enrolled first.

• Successful learning is indicated by the red LED

• If you enroll a remote control to a new zone, it will move from its

previous position

• Only one remote control can be enrolled to each zone

Enrolling of a wireless siren

• Connect a battery in a JA-63A siren and power its adapter

• Select the SIR position with the LEARN button

• When the SIR position is selected, the UC-280 will send a learning

signal to the JA-63A and vice versa. Triggering the SIR input will then

activate a JA-63A, tamper alarm or power supply failure of the JA-60A

will be transmitted to a UC-280

• Only one JA-63A siren can be used with a UC-280

Enrolling of UC-216 or UC-222 modules

• Select the learning mode in a receiver (mode X1 for UC-216 or mode

4 for UC-222)

• Learning mode of UC-280 must be closed

• Press and hold the LEARN button in UC-280 for 3 seconds

• The UC-280 will now be enrolled to the UC-216 or UC-222 receivers

and triggering of X and Y inputs will trigger the UC-216 / UC-222

output relays.

• Unlimited number of UC-216 / UC-222 can be used with a UC-280

Erasing components

If you want to delete any item from a UC-280, use the RESET button (the
procedure is described in “Setting buttons” paragraph).
