NEPTOLUX General 1. General These instructions cover the installation of the NEPTO-3K system. The features and technical values, e.g. number of lines, is dependent on the centre model.
NEPTOLUX General Standards The system complies with device testing, fault monitoring and reporting according to standards SFS-EN 50172 and ATS 62034 either locally or remotely. Cables and cable sheathings The cables used must be equipped with cable sheathings. All the calculations in these instructions have been done using a 0.8-mm conductor diameter.
NEPTOLUX Housing 2. Housing Installation The weight of the housing must be taken into account when it is fixed onto a wall. • Drill 4 pcs. 6 mm2 holes for the anchor fixings. Depth of hole must be 20-25mm. Position of holes.
NEPTOLUX Address bus 3. Address bus Principle The system's lighting units and bus units are addressable, smart units equipped with the own batteries (lighting). The centre polls the units over approximately 0.75-s periods per address. Thus the units (127 pcs) in the entire bus are checked over < 100s. The lighting units also work as independent units if the central cable snaps.

NEPTOLUX Address bus Installation of emergency lights to base YBN-R/3 Tighten the lighting unit to the common mounting base so that the pip on the cap is fixed in a "quarter to" position in relation to the mounting base's corresponding pip. After this, keep hold of the cap and screw clockwise until the lighting unit locks into place.

NEPTOLUX NL-KLG 4. NL-KLG keypad panel General The system is operated with a keypad panel(s). A maximum of 8 keypad panels can be connected to the system. The keypad panels are connected directly to the motherboard's CPN serial communication port. You need a minimum of two conductor pairs (4-conductor) + sheath cable for connecting the keypad panel to the centre.
NEPTOLUX NL-KLG Installation The keypad panel is installed at 1,500 + (200) mm height. 1. Drill 4 holes for the anchor fixings. Depth of hole must be 20-25mm. Position of holes. See image. 2. Fix anchor fixings. 3. Thread the cable through the bottom plate. The housing features a recess on the top, which can be removed with a file.
NEPTOLUX NL-KLG Settings 1. The keypad panel's address is set with a rotary switch SW1. 2. Connect the 5-port plug to the ethernet switch X2 3. If necessary, adjust the display's contrast after the voltage has been switched on. 4. Connect the keypad panel to the bottom plate with a counter sunk 3 mm machine screw. Address SW 1 SW 1...
NEPTOLUX NL-KLG Start-up The display features the following text when the keypad panel is started up (voltage connected or restart): * KLG remote panel * c. 2005 Oy Hedpro Ab.

NEPTOLUX Cable length Other equipment The minimum operating voltage of the centre's voltage output is 10.0V. When feeding external devices from a Nepto centre power source, it is important to note the devices' operating voltage and their maximum power consumption. The devices' location in the cable is also important, i.e.

NEPTOLUX Fault finding 9. Fault finding RS485 Data connection Most commonly the serial port's communication is indicated with LEDs. Red (receiving data), Green (sending data). When the red LED is flashing, the centre is receiving data. However, that does not mean that the unit understands the data.
NEPTOLUX Fault finding 9.3.2. The line's data communication The centre is programmed to communicate with only certain address, e.g. 127 (factory setting for a lighting unit). By going through the address bases with an illuminated emergency light, you can establish whether the data communication is operating.
