System Design Guidelines Installation planning Guide Systems must be designed in accordance with the current edition of the Easicheck installation planning guide, a copy of this guide should have been provided during the tender phase of the project, further copies are freely available on request. You should not proceed with an Easicheck installation unless you are familiar with this document.
Equipment Compatibility Additional instructions for electromagnetic compatibility When used as intended this product complies with EMC Directive (89/336/EEC) and the UK EMC regulations 1992 (SI 2372/1992) by meeting the limits set by the standards BS 5406 (Pts 2&3) 1988, EN50130-4 immunity and EN 61000-6-3 emission requirements. The following installation guidelines must be followed.
System Overview Spur tolerant soft addressing The Panel utilises intelligent soft addressing technology to greatly simplify the installation and commissioning processes. Once the system has been installed and the autolearn menu selected, the control panel will automatically scan the data loop and allocate each device with an address number corresponding with its position on the loop, this avoids the traditional need for manual addressing of the system devices which is time consuming and provides a potential for error.

For initial configuration or major system changes special PC configuration software is available enabling Cooper Lighting and Safety personnel to do this more efficiently than can be achieved using the system screen. Existing configurations can be uploaded to the PC so that changes can be made to the existing system rather than having to revert to the original data files.
Fixing details Read all the installation instructions before commencing with the installation. The installation of this panel must be carried out by a suitably qualified / trained person. The installation must comply with relevant wiring regulations The electronic components within the panel are Static Sensitive. Do not touch the electronics directly.
Page 11
Installation The panel should be installed in a clean, dry, reasonably well ventilated place, and not in direct sunlight. Temperatures in excess of +35°C and below -10°C may cause problems, if in doubt consult Technical Support. The panel should be located away from any potential hazard, in a position where it is readily accessible to authorised staff.

Input/Outputs Programmable input A programmable input is provided, the programmable input operates by means of an external VOLT FREE SIGNAL. On no account should any voltage be applied to these terminals. Whenever these terminals are shorted together, the panel will instruct all luminaires to enter emergency mode.
External Connections Mains Supply The mains supply should be installed in accordance with the current edition of the IEE wiring regulations. Connection to the mains supply must be via an isolating device (e.g. an isolating fuse) reserved solely for the Easicheck system. Networking Up to Sixty three Panels can be networked together to operate as a single networked system.

Maintenance Easicheck carries out fully automatic testing of all connected luminaires in accordance with the programmed test schedule(s). Any faults detected during automatic testing or any system operation abnormalities will be displayed on the panel (by a combination of the touch screen display and the system status LED’s.

Public Access Level 1 (Disabled) Disabling a device causes all communication between the panel and the device to be suspended whilst ever the device is disabled. This results in the fitting no longer being tested by the panel in accordance with any pre- programmed test sequences, similarly any fault or error messages sent from the disabled devices to the panel will be ignored.

Public Access Level 1 (Mute Buzzer) A buzzer is provided within the control panel to attract attention to events and faults, to silence the buzzer touch the mute buzzer button. Note for applications where the audible alarm is inappropriate it is possible to disable the buzzer completely (can be reactivated later if required) see page 43 Level 1 0 Faults...

Public Access Level 1 (On test) Tests can either be instigated manually (useful to confirm correct operation after maintenance work) or automatically in response to a pre programmed test regime. To ensure that an area is not left without cover during the period immediately after a full rated duration test, multiple test groups are provided.

Level 2 (Maintenance level) The level 2 menu allows access to the system functions typically used as part of a normal maintenance regime, it is protected by a password. The button in the top left hand corner indicates the current access level (normally level 1.) To gain access level 2, touch the access level button in the top left hand corner of the screen and enter the Level 2 password when prompted.

When Easicheck detects a fault, it will display details of the fault along with the address text of the faulty device. Use “edit address text” to assign the required address text to each device. NOTE: when commissioned by Cooper Lighting, a PC will be used to automatically download the address text to each device.

Level 3 (Configure - Thresholds) During luminaire interrogation, Easicheck verifies the performance of the luminaires by comparing the battery voltage, battery charge current and battery discharge current to stored values representing acceptable variations. For LED luminaires, Easicheck also measures the light output of the device. The thresholds menu allows the engineer to view and alter the threshold settings, these settings should only be altered by skilled, suitably trained engineers, incorrect threshold setting can result in system malfunctions.
