SigTEL EVCS Wiring Overview

Install the EVCS

Location

Site all equipment indoors in well-lit areas, free from obstruction. If background noise exceeds 40 dB, use an acoustic hood. Site control unit(s) in the control room or lobby, 1.4 metre above final floor level (FFL). Fit Type A (fire telephone) outstations in fire fighting lobbies and fire access points, 1.3 to 1.4 metres above FFL. Fit type B (disabled refuge) outstations in disabled refuges, 0.9 to 1.0 metre above FFL.

Mounting

Remove base PCBs before first fix installation to protect them and expose the base mounting holes.

Wall mount the control units, either surface or semi-flush. Fix the base securely onto a wall using No. 8 round-head, or countersunk screws. If an optional ECU-8S is fitted make the interconnections to the ECU-8 using supplied looms and short length of steel conduit (25 mm OD, max. length 60 mm).

After mounting, remove any dust/swarf and re-install base PCBs. Ensure all connecting looms are refitted correctly; ECU-8 internal connections are B to B, C to C. ECU-8 to ECU-8S (optional) is A to A, D to B.

Wiring and Cable Entry

See Fig 1 above for cable types. Install all wiring in accordance with the current edition of the IEE Wiring Regs (BS 7671), or relevant national standards. Use enhanced fire-rated cables between outstations and control equipment.

Test Outstation Lines

Test all lines for faults before terminating outstation lines to the ECU-8/ECU-8S. In addition, test outstation lines using a FITT telephone line tester (see component list above).

CAUTION: DO NOT use an Insulation Resistance Tester (Megger) with any devices connected as they will be destroyed.

Fit Outstations

See Fig 1 above for cable type. Maximum recommended cable distance is 1 km, beyond which audio quality may degrade. For wiring and connection details refer to Type A outstation instructions (Doc. No. DAU0000001) and Type B outstation instructions (Doc. No. DAU0302000).

Connect Outstation Lines to the Control Equipment

Do not connect outstation lines to the ECU-8, or optional ECU-8S, until they have been tested, fault-free and suitable cable glands fitted. Connect outstation lines directly to the Exchange PCB (see Fig 2 left). Connect screens to the earth terminal in the back of the enclosure.

Note: Before commissioning the system ensure that all equipment is fully installed, connected and wiring tested. Check all handsets are on-hook and the ECU-8 shows ‘System Healthy’ status at its LCD display. Configure the system by following the flow chart below.

Naming Outstations

Select ‘Edit Phonebook’ option.

At the ECU-8, with the handset on-hook, select the ‘Edit Phonebook’ option by following the flow chart below. With an operator at the ECU-8, go to the first outstation turn and make a call. At the ECU-8 lift the handset and press the ACCEPT button. The outstation’s channel is opened for speech and automatically selected for editing. Check audio quality of the line and inform the operator at the ECU-8 your position. They can edit the outstation name directly (see Naming Outstations below). Repeat this process for all remaining outstations but to avoid confusion only call in from one outstation at a time. Outstations can also be manually named if you are sure of its location (see Naming Outstations below).

Connecting Mains and Batteries

See Fig 1 overleaf for mains cable type. Connect a suitable 230 Vac supply to the ECU-8 via the base knockouts. Terminate the mains cable at the Power Supply PCB (plug P2) and NOT to main earth chassis (see Fig 3 right).

For the emergency standby power supply, only use good quality, sealed VRLA batteries. Position and connect two 12 Vdc, 7 Ah batteries to the ECU-8 using the supplied battery connection leads (see Fig 4 right).
