INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 Some of the panel functions can be configured for enhanced effectiveness, improving equipment performance, but which are not contemplated by EN54, and their use would involve non-compliance with this standard. When any type of connection or configuration is employed that does not comply with this standard, this must be indicated with a brief explanation of the requirements marked by the EN54 standard.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 2 . CONTENT. MATERIAL INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE 2 . 1 . PANEL VERIFICATION It is important to perform a visual inspection, before commencing installation operations, in order to verify that the supplied equipment has not suffered any damage.

INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 The 230 Vac conduit and wiring must physically separate from all other Control Panel wiring. The entry hole at the far right must be used for power supply wiring. The supplied cable gland must be employed. The connection should be made directly to the power supply unit in the following manner: The power supply unit plastic protective cover should be lifted.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 BATTERIES 3 . 3 . 2 . The battery capacity must be calculated for the system charge conditions. See Section 6. The Control Panel box can hold two 12volt batteries of up to 17Ah capacity. The battery installation must be performed last, after all the installation wiring has been connected, since will facilitate access inside the box and to the mother board connectors.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 The batteries are connected in series and this requires that they be connected together with a jumper. The negative terminal of battery 1 should be connected to the positive terminal of battery 2 using the supplied short length of wire.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 3 . 4 . REMOTE SWITCH-OFF The equipment is fitted with a remote switch-off input in connector JP16, using a voltage-free contact. Terminals E and N must be connected together to perform the remote switch-off operation. The remote input and the main switch located on the mother board are connected in parallel, so that the equipment will remain off is either or both these switches are in the OFF position.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 GENERAL RELAYS 3 . 4 . 2 . The AE/SA-C8 Control Panel includes three general relays with voltage- free output contacts: • Alarm. • Pre-alarm. • Fault. Each of these relays includes normally open NA, common C and normally closed NC contacts.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 DAY/NIGHT OPERATING MODE 3 . 4 . 3 . The AE/SA-C8 control panel allows the operating mode to be remotely controlled using terminal JP18. When the management of this remote input is enabled in the Installation Configuration Program, the panel will operate in “DAY” or “NIGHT” mode, in function of this input and will not permit the programming of changes in automatic modes.
RS-232 AND RS-485 COMMUNICATIONS PORTS 3 . 4 . 5 . The AE/SA-C8 panel incorporates four serial ports for communications with other equipment or for integration with other systems, even when some of these have specific use. The COM1 and COM2 ports can be configured as RS-232 or RS-485 ports, although one of them must be configured as RS-232 at 9600 bps to permit configuration downloads.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 EARTH FAILURE MONITORING 3 . 4 . 6 . Earth failure monitoring must be enabled during normal system operation. The connection of equipment to the RS-232 and RS-485 communications ports can cause an earth failure indication if such equipment has the communications negative connected to the same equipment’s earth.
1.5 mm NEGATIVE: 1.5 mm AGUILERA ELECTRONICA has officially approved cable, with reference AE/MANG2RF30. • When carrying out the installation, individual conduit should be employed and the modules and detectors must not be installed near sources of electromagnetic interference, such as fluorescent lamps, motors and contactors etc.

INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 • Before the module is connected to the analogue loop, its correct coding must be verified. If more than one piece of equipment has the same number on the same loop, system operation will not be correct.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 5 . PUTTING THE PANEL INTO OPERATION 5 . 1 . AE/SA-CTL LINE CONTROL CARD The AE/SA-CTL line control card must be inserted into the mother board connectors once the panel has been fully connected. Each control card can control two loops, each with a maximum of 125 equipment units.

INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 5 . 2 . CPU DILSWITCH CONFIGURATION The Algorithmic System AE/SA-C8 Control Panel is fitted with a DIL-switch with eight individual switches, which is used to configure certain operational aspects. In general and except where specifically indicated otherwise, the DIL-switch positions should only be changed with the Control Panel switched off.

INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 All the equipments in the same AE2NET must have the same bitrate configurated. Position 8 This switch is used to force a complete deletion of the Control Panel’s configuration. If the Control Panel is switched on with this switch in the OFF position, a message will be displayed on the screen warning that the configuration is about to be deleted and requesting confirmation from the user.
5 . 3 . PUTTING THE INSTALLATION INTO OPERATION Once the AE/SA-C8 panel is powered from the mains and/or battery supply and is switched on by setting the main switch to the ON position, the following screen will be displayed:...
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 The menu options are selected with the arrow keys and confirmed using the “YES” key or by pressing the number associated with the option. Selecting option “1. LED test” will turn on all the LED pilot lamps on the front panel for two seconds.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 The following lines contain detailed information about the currently selected equipment: Canal (Channel) Indicates the current channel number. The actual channel selection is carried out using the numerical keys. Equip. Indicates the current equipment number. The possible range is [1..125].
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 5 . 4 . INSTALLATION CONFIGURATION It is essential that the penal be configured with installation information for the installation to be fully operational. Only then will all panel functions be accessible and all connected equipment units be recognised and report all incidents that are produced within the installation.
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 6 . CONSUMPTION (BATTERY CALCULATION) The battery capacity must permit autonomous operation during at least 24 hours in standby and half an hour under alarm conditions. The Control Panel includes a PSU that can provide a maximum current of 4.5A. It should be checked that the total consumption in standby and alarm does not exceed this current limit.
Page 36
INSTALLATION MANUAL AE/SA-C8 A1 is determined by summing the consumption of all detection system components, and A2 by calculating the consumption under alarm conditions of all components that intervene simultaneously. STANDBY CONSUMPTION ALARM CONSUMPTION Units Unitary (mA) Total Unitary (mA) Total Uds.
