MEDEA certifications The MEDEA intrusion alarm system was certified at IMQ - SECURITY SYSTEMS laboratories in conformity with European standards EN 50131-1, EN 50131-3 and EN 50131-6:2017 - Grade 2 or 3 - Environmental class II - general indoors.
Figure 1 - System architecture Main characteristics The MEDEA intrusion alarm systems are modular, suitable for small - mid-sized systems in residential, industrial, and service settings. According to the final configuration, the systems are certified in Grade 2 or 3 according to EN 50131.
Control units 1.2.1 The control units consist of the combination of a motherboard (CPU), available in the MEDEA/32, MEDEA/64 and MEDEA/160 versions, with a box, available in ABS and metal versions. MEDEA/32 MEDEA/64 MEDEA/160 ■ ■ ■ ABS (power supply 1.5 A, battery 7 Ah) ■...

Mains voltage 1.7.1 The MEDEA control unit constantly monitors the presence of 230 V~ mains voltage, which is detected through the presence of voltage from the power supply unit. The "No Power" event triggers a timer that delays the alert. The delay prevents alarms from being sent in case of short power supply interruptions or resumptions.
The "Low Battery" status persists until the first successful "Battery Test" is completed. Checking and charging the battery The MEDEA system constantly monitors the state of the battery and the charging circuit keeps it charged with a limited maximum current. The following behaviour occurs according to the presence or absence of...

The most critical power supply situation for the system must be used to calculate the conductor cross- section area, i.e. no mains power supply and back-up battery at minimum charge (11.5 V⎓). Under these conditions, at full load, a voltage of at least 10.5 V⎓ is present at the ends of all MEDEA system components.

It can be purchased separately to increase the availability of current and the number of devices connected to the MEDEA control unit. The board has 2 output buses and an additional power output, which can be galvanically separated from the control unit power supply by means of the jumper.
Installation Installation procedure The recommended sequence of operations to install an intrusion alarm system with MEDEA control panels in the shortest possible time, while guaranteeing the best result, is: Lay the cables. Open the pre-cut holes in the plastic or metal box required for cable routing, connection of cable ducts and installation of external and internal antennas.
Wall-mounting the MEDEA control unit (ABS box) Opening the lid 3.3.1 Figure 21 - ABS box opening Openings for routing cables 3.3.2 The base of the control unit is equipped with pre-cut holes for routing the necessary cables (power supply, bus, detectors, etc.).
Figure 23 - Fixing holes in ABS box Fixing the battery 3.3.4 To ensure compliance with EN 50131-3, the battery must be secured using the cable tie provided. Wall mounting the MEDEA control unit (metal box) Opening the lid 3.4.1 Front removal Flap opening Rotate the front panel by 180 degrees.
Removal protection is compulsory to guarantee EN 50131 Grade 3 certification. The tamper function can also be installed to provide anti-opening protection only. In this case, the system does not comply with EN 50131 Grade 3 certification. MEDEA Installation Manual...

Figure 29 - Expansion board assembly in metal box MEDEA CPU assembly MEDEA CPUs are supplied separately from the ABS or metal boxes that contain them. The three CPU models (MEDEA/32, MEDEA/64 4 MEDEA/160) are mechanically identical. The CPU hinges must be inserted into the appropriate holders of the respective boxes, the CPU is then secured with fasteners (ABS box) or a screw (metal box).

We recommend the use of the high-gain ANT2/4G-HG antenna if the planned antenna installed does not guarantee an adequate signal level due to the position of the MEDEA control unit. The ANT2/4G BM stylus antenna can be used as an alternative to the PCB antenna supplied with the 2G/4G modules for the ABS box.

14.4 V⎓ 230 V~ Figure 49 - MEDEA power supply connection in ABS box NOTE: Power supply in CAT II 2500 V. Once installed, the power supply is subject to transient voltages higher than those of the overvoltage category for which it was designed. For this reason, an additional transient voltage protection is required outside the device.
Cables Faston supplied included Figure 50 - MEDEA power supply connection in metal box IMPORTANT Fasten the mains power cables to the cable tie holders with the cable ties provided.

Central BUS connection 4.4.1 MEDEA/32 control units have only one BUS connection. The MEDEA/64 and MEDEA/160 control units have two BUS connections that are logically the same but electrically separate. Either connections can be used. In all control panels there is an additional polarised BUS connector for the alternative connection of the ER700-RF interface via a special cable.
