1 Function

1.1 The router is intended for operation

within the Astra-Zitadel system.

1.2 The router is intended:

- for retransmitting messages (notifications,
control commands, responses, handshakes,
etc.) from wireless devices within the Astra­Zitadel system through all retransmission
levels to the control panel;

- for automatically routing messages from wireless devices if
the current data transfer route is lost;

- for controlling external devices (sirens, lighted signs) via its
outputs.

1.3 The router ensures operation directly with 30 detectors

(plus two mobile devices).

1.4 The router ensures TM identifier code transmitting to

control panel via radio.

1.5 The router ensures control of passive detectors and other

devices with «dry contact»-type outputs through the Zone­GND input with current control.

1.6 Power is supplied to the router from a 10-27 V power

supply unit.

1.7 The router has the potential to connect a backup power

supply unit: a lithium ion polymer rechargeable battery
(hereinafter BAT) of LP704374 type with nominal voltage of

3.7 V and a capacitance of 2 200 mA/h.

4 Structure

4.1 Structurally the router is designed as a block consisting of a

base and removable cover. Mounted inside the block is a printed
circuit board (PCB) with radio elements (Figure 2).

Figure 2

4.2 The base has a slot for installing BAT. The PCB has a

socket for connecting BAT outputs.

4.3 Mounted on PCB are red and white LEDs for router’s

functional status and the wireless network status supervision
respectively.

4.4 Mounted on PCB is a tamper switch, which results in the

«Tampering» notification when the cover is removed.

4.5 Mounted on PCB is a terminal block. For terminal function

6 Operating Modes

6.1 The router operating modes are defined via radio upon a

command from the control panel in accordance with an
appropriate Astra-Zitadel Quick Start Guide* or MSS
interface*.

1) switching AL supervision ON/OFF;

2) switching TM input (from MSS Astra-Pro only);

3) setting RELAY1 output operating mode;

4) FW upgrade.

6.2 Operating modes initiated by the Astra-942 laser tester

buttons:

1) test (upper button);

2) wireless network optimization (middle button);

3) router registration in wireless network (lower button).

7 Pre-Starting Procedure

7.1 After transportation in conditions differing from those of

operation, the router must be kept unpacked for 4 hours in the
expected operating conditions.

7.2 Running Router

Step-1

Push the cover catch out of
the base groove. Remove
the cover.

Step-2

Unbend the latch on the base.
Remove PCB.

Step-3

Push the blank out of the wire insertion hole
in the base.
Lead the wires from the power supply unit
through the hole.

Step-4

Insert BAT (if necessary) as follows:
a) Insert the BAT into the base;
b) Reinstall the PCB.
c) Connect BAT outputs to dedicated socket on the PCB.

Step-5

Connect wires from the power supply unit to the terminal
blocks in accordance with Table 1.

Supply power from an external source.

7.3 Registering the Router in the Wireless Network

Router registration is required for identification in the wireless
network in which it is supposed to operate.

Step-1 According to Astra-Zitadel System Control Panel`s

Operating Manual * perform the following procedure:

1) Install Software ** (MSS Astra-Z, Pconf-Z or MSS Astra

Pro) intended for configuring Control Panel.

2) Create wireless network

Step-2

Perform p.7.2.

Latch

Revision 8845-аv2_6_en

3

Step-3

Switch the control panel to Wireless device registration
mode by the method described in the appropriate Astra­Zitadel System Control Panel`s Operating manual *.

The mode switches for 60 s.

Step-4

Initiate router registration procedure by one of 2 methods:
a) using LT (step-5);
b) using the Reg plug and the Tamper switch (step-6).

WARNING!
Avoid to initiate registration procedure on several
detectors simultaneously

Step-5

Initiating Router Registration Procedure Using LT (can

be conducted with router assembled):

1) Press the lower button on the LT and hold until a beam

appears.

2) Direct the laser beam at the router and irradiate LED for

at least 1 second.
The router’s red LED lights up for 2 seconds, and then the
white LED blinks with a frequency of 5 Hz for not more
than 60 seconds («Network search»).

Step-6

Initiating Router Registration
Procedure Using the Reg Plug and
Tamper Switch:

1) Shortly (for 0.5-2.5 seconds)

close the Reg plug with a
screwdriver.

The router switches to registration in
wireless network mode for 60

seconds.

2) Within 60 seconds, shortly press the tamper switch on

the router. The router switches to wireless network search
mode, at that white LED blinks at a frequency of 5 Hz.

Step-7

Verify registration procedure:

 If registration procedure

completed successfully, the
abbreviated name of router

«RTR» appears on the screen or
«RTRxxx registered» notification

appears on the control panel`s
screen.
Assemble the router.

 If registration procedure failed, repeat the registration

procedure, i.e. execute steps 3 and 5 or 3 and 6.

 If registration procedure failed several times, perform

deletion of router from wireless network in accordance with

paragraph 7.4 and repeat registration procedure.

Step-8

Attention!
Do not switch off the router before the end of
registration and setting of all wireless devices in the
system.

After successful registration of the router, for long term
storage before its installation, it is allowed to switch the
router OFF.

When power is supplied, there is no need to re-register the
router in the same wireless network if it was not intentionally
removed from the network through MSS or control panel.

7.4 Deleting Router from Wireless Network

 Deletion the router from wireless network is performed

using Software ** or through Control Panel`s menu.
When deleting detector from wireless network, Control Panel
transmits notification about deletion to detector within two
periods of RF supervision time. After receiving the notification
detector issues "No network" notification.
 To speed up the deletion procedure:

- remove detector`s cover

- shortly close Reg plug

- press and hold down tamper switch for 8-10 sec.
The router issues "No network" notification to LED and is
available for registration.

7.5 Charging BAT

7.5.1 Prior to use, make sure that the BAT in the router is fully
activated via one charge/discharge cycle in the router. In order
to achieve this, charge the battery for at least 10 hours, fully
discharge it by disconnecting the external power supply unit for
at least 24 hours, and then recharge it for at least 24 hours.

7.5.2 It is permissible to begin using the router with partially
discharged BAT if a training cycle is conducted and the external
power supply voltage is guaranteed to be uninterrupted.

7.5.3 The BAT is recharged in the router from the DC power
source with a voltage of 10 to 27 V via the built-in smart
charger. Full charge of a fully discharged battery takes not more
than 24 hours.

8 Installation

8.1 Installation Procedure

Step-1
