Each TQ31 Room sensor to be connected to the mains supply via electrical back box. 240v ac 0.1A load Each TQ31 Room sensor to be connected to TQ32 Area Alarm Panel via 2 core, 0.5mm cable. 24v DC, alarm indication only, 0.1A DC TQ32 Area Alarm Panels.
TQ Environmental Limited Each TQ32 Alarm panel needs to be securely wall mounted, ideally in a central location. The TQ32 alarm panel will need to be connected to the mains supply. Each room being monitored will need a TQ31 Refrigerant Room sensor fitted. These can be mounted to 50mm deep, double back boxes and connected to the mains supply.
Figure 4 - Power Connection 2.1 Sensor Connections Each room sensor needs to be connected to the TQ32 Alarm Panel with a 2 core cable as shown below. The input board terminals will accept wire sizes up to 0.5mm Sensor inputs are connected in vertical pairs left to right along the TQ32 input boards, as shown.
TQ Environmental Limited 2.3 Relay Connections Five Common Alarm Relay contacts are available for remote indication on Connectors CONN14 to CONN18. (Normally Closed) contact is on Pin 1, (Common) contact is on Pin 2, and (Normally Open) contact is on Pin 3.
TQ Environmental Limited 2.4 Ethernet and Comms Connections The connections for Ethernet, RS485 MODBUS and TQ35 alarm panels can be found on the pcb mounted on the rear of the enclosure door. See below for a typical connection schematic. Please see Section 3. Initial setup, for instruction to connect to the web page.
The TQ32 Area Alarm Panel can be configured via a laptop connected to the Ethernet connection of the TQ32. This can either be a “crossover” Ethernet cable or via an Ethernet hub. The default TQ32 IP address is 192.168.34.150. To avoid conflict on the network, the laptop should have a different IP address to that of the TQ32 Area Alarm Panel.
OK. The laptop will then be able to communicate with the TQ32 Area Alarm Panel Web Server and allow it to be configured. Figure 10 - Internet Protocol Dialog Box...
