- When a network card is fitted onto the MCB, ensure a spade tab (supplied) is fitted under
the PCB fixing screw at position u.
- Also ensure the bottom PCB fixing screw v is tightened to give good electrical connection.
How to replace the MCB
There are in existence four variants of Vigilon Compact panels in the field. Here are the steps to replace an MCB
fitted in a Vigilon Compact panel.
Save Configuration to Commissioning tool
¨
If the panel is functioning correctly then before powering down ensure the system configuration is
retrieved using the commissioning tool.
Power down
¨
Completely power down the panel by isolating the mains and battery supply and then remove the
ribbon cable connectors from the MCB.

Using a chip extractor extract the back up 'Configuration' chip fitted
in socket IC16 (NVM) of the MCB being replaced and fit this chip
into the replacement MCB.

is incompatible then DO NOT fit the chip into the replacement
MCB. Instead transmit the saved configuration from the
commissioning tool to the replacement MCB. The transmission
must take place after panel power up. After transmitting the
configuration to the panel 'back up' the data to NVM on Card 14.
Power up
¨
Power up the mains and battery supplies to the panel.
