  • Page 23: Programming

    4 PROGRAMMING The RAD-8LS is fully field programmable. No special programming tools are required. The programming information for the RAD-8LS is stored in an Electrically Erasable Prom. The information stored on this chip is retained even in the event of loss of power.

  • Page 24: Setting Box Number (Function 1)

    RAD-8LS INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL is indicated by the yellow trouble LED for Zone 1, Function 10 by the yellow trouble LED for Zone 2, etc. After the last function has been selected press “SILENCE” to return to Function To program a function once it has been selected, press the “TEST” button (SW1 through SW8 must be in the down position).

  • Page 25: Panel Options 1 (Function 3)

    After programming all 11 zones, press “TEST” to save all tones and return to function selection mode. Function 2 is not used if the Digitize 99 Zone or King Fisher IRAC radio format are selected. Function 2 pertains to the Eagle Signal or King Fisher Radio Format only.

  • Page 26: Panel Options 2 (Function 4)

    RAD-8LS INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL SW3 is applicable only if the panel is programmed to use the Digitize 99 Zone Format. See Function 5. Selecting this setting will cause the panel to report an “AC Power Fail” condition at the time the failure occurs. If this setting remains OFF the AC Power Fail condition will be reported after a variable delay to prevent a collision with other panels trying to report the failure at the same time.

  • Page 27: Radio Box Format (Function 5)

    King Fisher radio formats. Place SW5 in the up position to select two function tones. Place in the down position for one function tone. SW6 is a Test Mode for the Rad-8LS. In order for the Rad-8LS to function correctly, this option should always be turned off. When this Test mode is enabled, the Rad-8LS will display the tones transmitted from the panel on the Trouble Leds.

  • Page 39: Theory Of Operation

    5 THEORY OF OPERATION ALARM INPUT The RAD-8LS contains eight separate alarm input channels. A red alarm LED and a yellow trouble LED are included for each zone. MICROPROCESSOR The RAD-8LS is a microprocessor based unit and contains a reusable EPROM to store the program and operating data.

  • Page 40: Controls

    The AM transmitter is crystal controlled and employs amplitude modulation with feedback circuitry. The interface used is the Tone Control Board. The Tone Control Board interface is plugged into the main board of the RAD-8LS. The antenna is plugged into the transmitter using the connector marked “ANT”.

  • Page 41: Zone Trouble

    BYPASS - If a zone is bypassed, the associated yellow trouble LED for that zone will flash. GROUND FAULT - If the RAD-8LS detects a Ground Fault on zone inputs, all of the yellow zone trouble LEDs will flash.

  • Page 42: Standby Power Operation

    Standby Power Operation is also indicated by a flashing POWER LED. When a low battery condition is detected, the RAD-8LS will transmit this to the receiving console during a daily test transmission or whenever a radio transmission is made (determined by the radio format selected).

  • Page 43: Testing

    Using the table below, test all alarm and trouble initiating devices for each zone. Test each zone bypass switch by pushing switch to the “BYPASS” position and actuate an alarm. If working properly, the LED should light red indicating an alarm but the RAD-8LS should not transmit the alarm.
  • Page 44 RAD-8LS INSTALLATION AND USER MANUAL Hold down the “CLEAR/SILENCE” and “TEST” buttons simultaneously then press and release the “RESET” button. If the jumper is inserted correctly, the “COMM LINK” LED and all of the alarm LEDs will illuminate. The radio transmitter is now transmitting carrier.
