SIGNAL

Cont: If AC=3 then any Keyfobs learned on zone 16 are able to change
the SET/UNSET state.
If the Inhibit is active (switched to GND), then the group is UNSET
(PIRs do not operate, but Keyfob commands are always processed).
On releasing of Inhibit input it automatically forces SET state, no matter
what was the last command sent by Keyfob.
If Inhibit is inactive (idle, not switched to GND), then Keyfob takes control
over SET/UNSET.

PIR detectors

ESD PIR detectors have approximate adjustable time and light controls which are
required when used with other Easyswitch receivers.
The ESR8+8 can override these settings to provide very accurate timing and 24Hr
operation.

"TM":"TS" specifies the time [min:sec], of how long the PIR relay activation is to be.

To use the PIR’s own time control set “TM” and “TS” to 0.

To override the PIR’s time control set “TM” and/or “TS” to anything other than 0.

To use the PIR’s Day/Night control set “Do” to 0 (0=Disabled).

(The detector will operate at night only).

To override the PIR’s Day/Night control set “Do” to 1.
(The detector will operate 24 Hrs a day).

PIRs vs Keyfobs:
If a zone receives an ON-command from a Keyfob, then this zone is activated and no
further Alarm from a PIR can change it.
The zone would stay activated until it receives an OFF command from a Keyfob.

If a zone is activated by a PIR and then receives an OFF command from a keyfob, the
zone is deactivated immediately and the PIR-timing is cancelled.

Activation by a PIR will always work after a previous OFF command from a Keyfob.

PIRs vs other PIRs:
A mechanism is implemented that secures that a previous activation by a PIR alarm will
never be shortened by an alarm from another PIR on the same zone.

Example: PIR_1 Alarm with time=30s
5 passed
PIR_2 Alarm with time=10s
The second will be ignored as the first activation finishes 15s later

Introduction

The ESR8+8 is a wireless receiver designed to work with Easyswitch transmitters and

PIR detectors.
Supplied with 8 zones as standard, a further 8 zones can be added using an ESEM8
module to provide the maximum of 16 zone outputs.

The ESR8+8 is capable of learning up to 170 devices (Keyfobs and PIR’s) and can all be

assigned to just one zone if required.
ESD Easyswitch Wireless PIR Detectors will operate up to 1km from the receiver and are
ideal for integration with CCTV systems that are to be event driven. NB: Longer ranges
up to 1km require an alternative external antenna (AE434).

Relays

There are eight relays which can be individually set as N/C or N/O.
You can opt for eight alarm relays or four alarm relays with corresponding tampers.
1A to 8A are the alarm pairs. If Tamper is required then refer to the lower markings
1A /1T to 4A/4T.

Expander module ESEM8

The ESEM8 expander module fits onto the ESR8+8 board and adds a further eight relays
increasing the capacity to sixteen outputs.

LED indicators are positioned between each pair of terminals and indicate the zone
status ACTIVE (On) or IDLE (Off).

MOS-relays and LED indicators are driven separately,
The meaning of all LED indicators are always ACTIVE (On) / IDLE (Off), no matter
whether the MOS-relay is configured as NO or NC.
Only the MOS-relay is affected by NO/NC setting.

Modes

MIMIC mode, single and two way switching may be assigned individually to each zone.

AUX F1 and AUX F2

These outputs are configurable and include Global Alarm, Light level and SET/UNSET.
The polarity, NO/NC is also configurable.

Inhibit

A hard wired external Inhibit can be connected and programmed to inhibit a group of
outputs. The group can consist of any number of zones, from 1 up to 16 (= all).
Remaining outputs function normally, not controlled by Inhibit.
Inhibit is also possible from one or more ESF4 wireless key fobs learned on zone 16.

Paired Keyfobs have specific usage of buttons:
Top-left = SET
Top-right = UNSET

ESR8+8 & ESEM8 8-16 zone wireless receiver Installation Handbook Page 4

SAVING the changes

After setting all Parameters to desired values:
Press and hold the MEMORY button down for 2 seconds until display turns from the
bottom segments to upper segments, then release the button.

Changes are saved to memory and are applied immediately, no power-cycle necessary.

To CANCEL the operation.
Press the MEMORY button momentarily. The display shows the bottom segments only
and then goes off.

Examples

Note: If AUX F1 and/or AUX F2 are to be Global Alarms, then parameters S1,E1
and/or S2,E2 specify the Start and End zones that are included.

Example: F1=04, S1=01, E1=16
This means that AUX F1 is Global Alarm with N/O contacts
and included zones 01..16 (i.e. all).

Example: F2=05, S1=05, E1=8
This means that AUX F2 is Global Alarm with N/C contacts
and includes zones 05..8 only.

Light control

If AUX F1 is a Light_Control, then parameters S1 specifies the
Source zone. (similarly AUX F2: source S2).

Example: F2=08, S1=01, E2=00
This means Function_2 is Light_Control, N/O and the Source is zone 1
If any PIR is Learned to zone 1 and sends an alarm message with a flag
"Night", then the output AUX F1 will be activated.
It then stays activated until Alarm_message without flag "Night" is received.

SET/UN-SET (NB: Only PIR detectors can be inhibited.)

If AUX F1 or F2 is to be an alarm SET/UN-SET output, then the parameter
"AC" must be 1, 2 or 3 otherwise it would be meaningless.
(AC=1 SET/UN-SET control by Keyfobs of zone 16 is enabled)
(AC=2 SET/UN-SET controld by inhibit input)
(AC=3 SET/UN-SET control by Keyfobs of zone 16 or inhibit input)

Then all Keyfobs Learned to zone 16 have special function:
Press the top-left button on any such Keyfob to make SET (ARM)
This activates the global output & turns the state to SET
Press the top-right button on any such Keyfob to make UNSET (DISARM)

This deactivates the global output & turns state to UNSET. Only the group
of zones specified via parameters "SC".."EC" (start & end) are under
SET/UNSET control. Others (outside the group) are always SET.

Zone 16 is used for wireless inhibit but it can still be used with PIR detectors but not other
types of switches.
Output of SET/UNSET state can be brought to one of the AUX_F1/F2 relays if needed.

Easy programming is facilitated by way of an LED display and programming buttons.
EPROM memory stores all learned devices which will not be lost in the event of a power
interruption.

The LED-SIGNAL indicator is On during reception of valid Easyswitch transmissions
regardless of whether the signal comes from Learned device or unknown.

Positioning the receiver

The ESR8+8 is housed in a weather resistant IP66 enclosure and can be fitted in outdoor
locations as well as within buildings. It is important to ensure that there are minimal
obstructions to the wireless path such as solid walls and metal clad buildings to benefit
from the maximum range.

Antenna

The ESR8+8 is supplied with a 1/4 wave antenna but this may be replaced with an
alternative antenna such as the AE434 which will assist with range issues.
The AE434 is supplied with 5 metres of cable which enables it to be placed away from the
receiver and in the best position for reception.
All antenna’s are connected to the BNC socket marked ANT as shown.

Power requirements

Although the ESR8+8 will operate from a range of voltages between 9 and 18 volts DC

it is generally powered from 12 volts DC and with all relays and LED’s off will draw 8ma in

standby.
Connect the power to the terminals marked GND and +12V.
On power up the display reads HI

Fitting the ESEM8+8 module

Make sure that the power is OFF and then plug the zone expansion module ESEM8 on to
the ESR8+8 using the “snap in” spacers provided.

TYPES OF TRANSMITTERS:

The following transmitters will work with the ESR8+8.
EST.1 Wireless wall switch. One to four gang.
ESF.1, 2 & 4 Wireless key fob. One, two or four button versions.
ESD.1, 2 & 3 Wireless PIR detector. Choice of three detection patterns.

ESR8+8 & ESEM8 8-16 zone wireless receiver Installation Handbook Page 6

Programming

The ESR8+8 is programmed one zone at a time.

To EDIT settings, select any zone by momentarily pressing it’s button which is located

directly behind the associated zone terminals.
The LED will flash quickly indicating that it is in editing mode.

The display now shows a number from 01 to 16 of the selected zone.

To de-select a zone, momentarily press it’s button and the LED will stop flashing.

To LEARN a new device

Choose the zone and enter the EDIT mode. Now press the MEMORY button momentar­ily to start the LEARNING (pairing) process:
“LE" shows on the display.
Operate the switch or button of the transmitter. In the case of learning a PIR, either
connect it’s battery or activate it by waving your hand in front of it.
The display shows "-||-" flashing quickly for 4seconds indicating that the new device has
been learned. After this it reverts to showing the selected zone number.
The display will time out after 10 seconds if nothing is learned.

If a signal is received from a device that is already learned then it is ignored and learning
continues normally.

To LIST learned devices
Choose the zone and enter the EDIT mode. Press and hold the UP button to see total
number of devices learned (paired) to the
selected zone. (All device types: Wall switch transmitters, Keyfobs and PIR detectors).

Press and hold the DOWN button to see total number of PIRs only learned to the
selected zone.

To CLEAR the memory of a chosen zone, enter the EDIT mode and then hold the
MEMORY button down until the display shows "CL" This takes around 4 seconds.

Relay contact polarity and Modes

To view the settings of a chosen zone, enter the EDIT mode and then press the SELECT
button to see the current relay polarity and Mode.
The first character is the Polarity, "o" means NO, "c" means NC;
The second character is the Mode, 0=Mimic, 1=Single, 2= 2-way switching.

ESR8+8 & ESEM8 8-16 zone wireless receiver Installation Handbook Page 7

Example:

o0 .. N/O, Mimic
o1 .. N/O, Single
o2 .. N/O, 2-way
c0 .. N/C, Mimic
c1 .. N/C, Single
c2 .. N/C, 2-way

To CHANGE the relay contact polarity
While holding the SELECT button down, press MEM momentarily to toggle between
"o"/"c" (change NO/NC).
When the SELECT button is released, the zone memory is stored.

To CHANGE the mode

While holding the SELECT button down, press the UP or DOWN buttons momentarily to
increment or decrement the Mode counter.
When the SELECT button is released, the zone memory is stored.

NB: PIR detectors are not affected by the MODE setting and will operate the relay for a
determined period of time. This time period can be adjusted as described on page 10.

AUX outputs for Global Alarm, Light level and SET/UN-SET
These are settings that are not zone related and are accessible in a different way.

In order to enter this Menu, de-select any FLASHING zone by pressing it’s button.

LED’s that are illuminated but not flashing can be ignored.

With none of the LED’s flashing and the display is OFF, press any of the 4 buttons under

the Display to wake it up.

Two bars show

Press the SELECT button repeatedly to scroll through the Parameters.
Stop on the Parameter that is to be changed. The flashing number is its current value.
Use the UP/DOWN buttons to increment/decrement to the desired value.
(tip: hold the UP or DOWN button and after short time the count will start automatically.

Press the SELECT button again to scroll to other Parameters that need to be changed.
