CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
The Vega repeater panels are used at remote locations where a repeat of the main
control panel information or control functions are required. The repeater panels have
been designed to be modular in configuration and are capable of meeting the
requirements of most major systems. The repeater control panel has been designed
to meet the requirements of the EN54 standard parts 2 and 4.
The repeater control panel is available in various formats, which will define the style
of the repeater panel.
(Type 1) Repeater panel with no user controls
(Type 2) Repeater panel with user controls
It is possible to connect to the main Vega control panel a maximum of 64 repeater
panels, however a restriction of 15 repeaters (maximum) with controls is only
permissible. The type of the unit is achieved by use of an addressing switch located
within each repeater panel upon the main display card (44782-K077). The 15
repeater panels with controls have the capability of having 24 characters of text
assigned to them for site location purposes. The 24 characters of text are
programmable via the VIPER programming software or via the main control panel's
membrane. It is also possible to program the internal sounder circuit and VFCO
within the repeater panel in the same manner.
For repeaters with controls the membrane fascia of the repeater panels are identical
to those used upon the main control panels, with the LCD receive only repeater
having reduced operation. The status and zone indications and the user keys are
identical to those of the main control panel and have the same operational functions.
1.1 DISPLAY AND INDICATIONS
The liquid crystal display (LCD) provides an 8-line text graphical display which is
used for the showing of activations which may occur upon the system. Each line
displays the relevant information for the activation, which has occurred on the system
and when multiple activations occur these will be displayed upon different lines. The
display informs the user when different priority alarms are active and these can be
viewed by the operation of the membrane control keys. User information appears
along the bottom line of the display, which gives on screen prompts for the user when
operating the control panel.
TM0024 Page 4 of 33 Issue 2.01
The repeater panel maybe supplied with a 24 zonal Fire and Fault LED membrane,
which is capable of being expanded in increments of 32 indications to a maximum of
120. Each indication is capable of having text printed on to its associated slider
insert, which can match the programmed zone text. Each zone slider is capable of
being removed and inserted from the top edge of each membrane, this is to cater for
site specific information.
When an activation of either fire or fault occurs the relevant zonal led will illuminate.
When a zonal fire condition occurs the zonal, red, fire LED will pulse until it is
silenced upon which it will become constant and will clear upon reset. Operation of a
zonal fault will cause the yellow fault LED to operate in a pulsed mode until the fault
condition automatically clears or the control panel has been Reset.
The Status LED indications provide visual indication of the condition of the control
panel and are designed in accordance with the requirements of EN54-2, refer to
TM0001 figure 1.0 for further information. The status indicators have slider inserts
are capable of being removed and altered to cater for different languages.
1.2 SOUNDER CIRCUIT
The Repeater panels are supplied as standard with a single monitored sounder
circuit positioned on the main repeater terminal PCB (44782-K078), which is rated at
1 amp at 24 volts DC
.
The sounder circuit is capable of being programmed with
specific site configuration information to operate as required. If the sounder circuit
has not been programmed then it will operate in a default operation for any Fire or
Evacuate conditions and will remain active until silence alarms. The operation is also
controlled by the set up switches located on the Main Processor card part number
44782-K077, refer to section 1.5.1 for further information.
1.3 RELAY OUTPUTS
The Control panel is supplied as standard with a single VFCO relay which is rated at
1 amp at 30 volts dc, which is positioned on the main repeater terminal PCB (44782K078. The relay is capable of being programmed with specific site configuration
information to operate as required. If the relay is not programmed then they will
operate for any Fire or Evacuate condition and will remain active until panel reset.
A Fault Relay rated at 1 amp 30 v dc is also supplied which is normally energised
during status normal and when any fault condition is detected the relay will deenergise. Note that this relay will automatically re-energise when non latching fault
conditions automatically clear.
TM0024 Page 5 of 33 Issue 2.01
1.4 INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY UNIT
The repeater panels are supplied complete with an internal power supply unit, which
is designed to meet the requirements of EN54-4. The Power supply provides a 2.5
amp at 24v dc supply output to both the repeater panel and the battery output.
This unit includes a variable mains input which is capable sensing the incoming AC
mains voltage, for range between 110v and 270v. The AC mains input is protected
by a ceramic mains input fuse rated at 3.5 amps, which is easily accessible.
The unit is supplied complete with a battery temperature lead which requires
attaching to the internal batteries of the control panel. This connection compensates
the charging of the batteries with respect to the ambient temperature of the
enclosure.
The power supply incorporates a set of status LED indications, which are positioned
upon the power supply unit. These indications operate when a fault condition is
detected upon either the power supply unit or the internal batteries, these indications
are as follows:
1. Loss of mains power.
2. Loss of standby power.
3. Reduction of battery voltage.
4. Loss of battery charger.
TM0024 Page 6 of 33 Issue 2.01
1.5 SWITCH CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
The repeater control panels have various sets of internal switches, which will allow
for different operational configurations of the repeaters.
The configuration switches are located on the Repeater Processor card, part number
44782-K077 and is a 4-way switch. Table 1.0 details the information for these
switches.

The configuration switches are located on the Repeater terminal card, part number
44782-K078 and is a 2 way switch which operate in conjunction with one another.
These switches, when placed in the 'On' position, will install the communications
termination resistor. The termination resistor is only used when the repeater panel is
the very last on the system. These switches will work in conjunction with the switches
located within the main control panel on the Repeater Interface Card, part number
44782-K076.

CHAPTER 2
RECEIVE ONLY REPEATERS
2. DESCRIPTION
Receive only repeaters which have no controls are determined by the selection of the
address “0" via the address switch, which is located on the main processor card
(44782-K077), refer to section 1.0 for further switch information. A maximum of 49
repeaters without controls are permitted to be connected to the main control panel.
Receive only repeaters have the facility for an internal monitored sounder circuit and
a VFCO relay, these will operate in a common operation for any priority “0" or “1"
activation. The monitored circuit will remain activated until the main panels “Silence
Alarm” key is operated at which point the sounder circuit will de-energise. The VFCO
relay will de-energise upon the operation of the “Panel Reset”. Fault conditions
detected by the repeater panel will not be transm itted back to the main control pa nel
and will be displayed on a local basis only.
The repeater panels maybe configured with or without status and zonal indications,
Input/ Output extension cards and internal panel printer. The inclusion of these
options will determine the en closure dimensions.
2.1 CONTROLS
A receive only repeater is not capable of having any effect over the operations of the
main control panel. The user keys are accessible at all times and are classed as
access level 1 operation.
Silence Buzzer
The operation of this key is switch selectable refer to section 1.5.1 for further
information. Operation of the switch will allow the deactivation of the internal buzzer
and dependant upon the switch selection may deactivate the local sounder circuit.
Test
The Test key is used to test the LCD, LEDs, internal buzzer and the control keys of
the repeater. This key maybe operated at any time and will initiate the test condition.
TM0024 Page 8 of 33 Issue 2.01
CHAPTER 3
REPEATERS WITH CONTROLS
3. DESCRIPTION
Repeaters with controls are allocated by the selection of an address “1 to 15" via the
address switch. Located on the main processor card (44782-K077), refer to section
1.5.1 for further switch information. A maximum of 15 repeaters with controls can be
connected to the main control panel. Each repeater panel is capable of having a
location name assigned against the repeater address via the main control panel
programming.
The repeaters with user controls have the facility for a monitored sounder circuit and
a VFCO relay, these circuits are fully programmable via the main control. If the
circuits have not been programmed they will have a default operation by activating for
any priority “0" or “1" activation form the main control panel. The monitored circuit will
remain activated until the main panels “Silence Alarm” key is operated at which point
the sounder circuit will de-energise. The VFCO relay will de-energise upon the
operation of the “Panel Reset”. Once the outputs have been programmed they will
operate as per the program. Fault conditions detected by the repeater panel will be
transmitted back to the main control panel.
The repeater panels maybe configured with or without status and zonal indications,
Input/ Output extension cards and internal panel printer. The inclusion of these
options will determine the en closure dimensions.
3.1 CONTROLS
The operation of the control keys are detailed within the Access section, refer to
section 3.2 for control key operation. The control section has a removable slider
insert which allows the user to carry out language translations.
TM0024 Page 9 of 33 Issue 2.01
3.2 ACCESS
The Repeater panel with controls has 2 separate access levels with access level 1
being available to the user without entry of any special password. Each access level
has its own operating criteria as shown in Table 2.0, which restricts operation of the
panel by the user. The level 2 password is identical to that set within the main control
panel and is accessed in the same manner and only access level 2 maybe entered
from a type 2 repeater panel.
When the ma in control panel is in access level 2 o r 3 all of the re peaters co nnected
onto the system are given a lock out message. While the repeater panels are locked
out the LCD displays a message indicating the lockout, as shown in figure 2.0. Once
the main panel takes control of the system it is not possible to access the system
from any of the repeater panels.
