TS2500 Installation Manual

External Sounders

The control panel has one external sounder output to
drive standard SAB or SCB modules, additional external
sounders can be driven from Nodes using a relay
interface RM3A. When using a Node to drive an external
sounder it is recommended that a remote power supply
is fitted next to the Node to provide the power for the
external sounder. The tamper for the external sounder
can be monitored using one of the Node detection
circuits.

Plug-on Digital Communicator

The DC54 (4 channel) or DC58 (8 channel) can be
plugged onto the control panel so that alarm status
information can be transferred to an Alarm Receiving
Centre (ARC). The DC58 also offers the additional facility
of reporting separate account numbers per ward. All
d at a for t he d igi ta l c o mmun icato r can be
programmed via the control panel.

Plug-on Digi-modem

The DC58M is a combined 8 channel digital
communicator and V21 modem. The digital
communicator also offers the additional facility of
reporting separate account numbers per ward. If
required the digicom can be disabled so that only the
modem facilities are provided. The V21 modem is
required to allow uploading and downloading of
system data via a PC using Menvier Lineload software.

RedCARE or Stand-alone Digicom

Eight programmable switched -ve @100mA outputs
are provided on the control panel to allow connection
to a stand-alone RedCARE unit such as the Versus 3GSTU
or DA BlueSTU. The STU can be mounted inside the
control panel underneath the main PCB.

Printer

A DATAC printer or any serial RS232 printer can be
connected to the control panel via a MPA or DCI (printer
adaptor). The printer can be used to obtain a full
printout of the system programming or event log. It can
also be left connected and used as an on-line printer,
i.e., all system events are printed as and when they
occur.

Output Modules

An output module (CPA6.OM) provides eight switched
-ve outputs @ 100mA, which can be used to drive LED's
or relays. The control panel has a connector which
al l o w s o ne o r m o re ou tp ut m o d ul es to be
daisy-chained together. The output modules can then
be programmed to give ward status information and/or
circuit alarm/mimic indications.
The XNode also has a connector for a single output
module, but the outputs will only mimic the eight
detection circuits of the XNode.

Networker Interface Boards

The Networker Interface Boards (NIBs) can be used when
cable runs between Nodes or remote keypads exceed
100 metres. The NIBs are supplied as a driver unit and
receiver unit. The driver unit connects to the output of
the control panel or Node and the receiver unit can be
connected up to 3 kilometres away. A separate remote
power supply unit will be required to power the receiver
unit and the remainder of equipment on the network.
