(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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
