1.0 Introduction Odyssey X is a new range of modular external warning devices available in standard or backlit variants. The modular design allows for a choice of front covers to be installed on the common backplate. Please see the specification table for full details of each model.
Red or White 1.3 Graphic Inserts Odyssey X sounders can accommodate a graphic insert, rather than traditional screen printed lids. Graphic inserts can be ordered directly from Texecom. Simply follow the instructions and submit your artwork at the following web address. http://www.texe.com/uk/branding.php Once you have approved and paid for the artwork, inserts will be delivered directly to you.

1.9 Odyssey X-W (Premier Elite V2.11.X or later) Battery Insertion & Learning procedure When installing a wireless sounder, the batteries should be installed and the device learned to the panel BEFORE it is mounted in the chosen location. The sounder should always be the last fixed device learned and installed.

All eight batteries (supplied) must be installed with the correct polarity. Failure to do so will result in the device reporting a battery fault. If 1-2 batteries INS627-8 18/44...
are incorrectly fitted the firmware will detect this on power up and flash both comfort LED’s for approximately 10 minutes. While the unit is in this state it will not learn to a panel. After approximately 10 minutes the unit will power off in order to save energy.
If you need to delete the device from the system you should first put it into "hold off " mode and remove the batteries. If the device will not learn to the system check that all batteries are installed correctly. 1.11 LED Indications (Odyssey X-W only) The Odyssey X-W LEDs aid in the installation of the device and act as status indicators.
1.12 Mounting the Unit (all models) Select a suitable position to mount the unit, which satisfies the following criteria: Highly prominent for maximum deterrence Additional shelter (e.g. under the eaves) is an advantage High enough to be out of normal reach to deter tampering Safe ladder access Good cable access In addition to the two adjustable screw fixing points, the unit also has a central...

Keyhole fixing The keyhole fixing is accessed by opening the inner cover as described in the previous section. Make sure to adjust the tamper screw correctly before fully tightening this screw. Side fixings INS627-8 22/44...
The two side fixings will lock into place when the screw is tightened. With the unit in place and hung from the keyhole fixing, you can drill anywhere in the open area to obtain the optimum fixing point. 1.14 Adjusting removal from mounting tamper The removal from mounting tamper screw must be used on all surfaces;...
1.15 Internal Lid Tamper The Odyssey X is fitted with an internal lid tamper to prevent access to the electronics and wiring of the unit. The screw located on the inside of the internal hinged lid should be not be adjusted under normal operation. Should the device be mounted on uneven surface the screw can be adjusted to engage the tamper, but should not protrude the plastic by more than 0.5cm (measured to the highest point of the screw)
1.16 Wiring the Unit Connect the unit to the control panel as follows: A (12V) Permanent Positive Supply B (BELL) Negative Applied Output to Activate Siren C (TAMP) Negative Removed on Tamper Input D (0V) Permanent Negative Supply S (STRB) Negative Applied Output to Activate Strobe T (Test) Test input for enabling remote test via Maintex or Wintex*...

Grade 3 to monitor the status of the battery, the supply voltage and the integrity of the trigger wire. The two diagrams below show wiring configurations for Texecom control panels, and other manufacturers, you should however ensure that your chosen control panel can support the additional requirements.
Page 29
To comply with EN50131 requirements at Grade 3 the bell trigger should be pulled high by the control equipment. When connecting to some third party systems, or using a relay output a 1kΩ resistor should be connected between the bell trigger and the positive supply at the control panel. INS627-8 29/44...
Prolonged “battery first” connection without power from the control panel may cause permanent damage to the internal battery. Texecom recommend that the unit is initially powered on battery only for no longer than 24 hours.
When selecting SCB mode the battery must be connected before power is supplied from the control panel. If a unit is powered from a control panel with SCB mode selected but without the battery connected, the unit will not operate correctly due to the lack of power provided.

If the first unit is opened it will self-activate and a tamper will be signalled to the control panel. If the second unit is opened both units will self-activate and a tamper will be signalled to the control panel. If more than one unit is connected to an installation, the current demand may exceed the rated current output of the control panel.

1.22 Commissioning Most control panels have a method of testing the siren and strobe, which should be utilised for final testing. Failing this, simply arm the system and cause an alarm to confirm correct operation. Temporarily disconnect the positive supply to the unit at the control panel to confirm that the sounder self-activates.

is invoked either by activating and de-activating the strobe three times within 30 seconds, or by pressing the B/O key when in the bell test menu. Most control panels have a method of testing the strobe, which should be utilised. Failing this the strobe can be manually activated by connecting the S (STRB) wire to 0V at the control panel.
3.0 Safety INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE BY QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY All strobes produce hazardous voltages. However, the unit includes dual circuit safety interlocks. When the strobe is de-activated it invokes a final flash to discharge the high voltage. Back-up circuitry guarantees discharge of the high voltage within 3 minutes.
The piezo drive produces high voltages when the siren is sounding. While not directly hazardous, these voltages will cause discomfort and should be avoided, particularly when using tools or a ladder. The piezo transformer TF1 and surrounding components will be hot during and after sounding.
