EMS 5000 FIREPOINT

1. Introduction

This manual describes the installation and programming requirements for a hardwired
network system using the 5000 FirePoint control panels.
The EMS system control panels are simply networked together by the 485 BUS via a 2
core screened fireproof cable. This then enables communication between control panels.
2. Tools & Equipment
Only standard hand tools are required to install the connection between the control
panels. No special test equipment is needed for installation, although signals from
modules can be seen if a computer with a terminal programme is connected to the
system.
This gives a visual indication that the panels are transmitting information.

3. Electrical Installation

The EMS 5000 FirePoint Control Panels should be hardwired together using a 2-core
cable, as shown in the supplied drawing PO4334.
The following paragraphs outline the installation in a step-by-step format.
When all connections have been made, the battery can be connected and the mains
voltage can then be applied.
The unit is now ready for the control panel to be configured for Lan operation.
