GradeShift UDL Step 1 - Site Survey Use a CSL Signal Analyser to determine if sufficient base stations are available at the site and that they can supply sufficient signal strength. This will determine the optimum location for the DualCom’s aerial to be mounted.
GradeShift UDL Step 2 - Installation a - Ensure the aerial is mounted and connected in the correct position to achieve maximum signal strength. Apply power and wait for 5-8 minutes for the unit to connect to the network and download its programming file. Once completed the Green Signal Strength LED should be on or flashing, indicating an acceptable signal,...

GradeShift UDL Step 3 -Test & Self Learn In this section you will be using the button To send test signals, tap the TEST/LEARN button (less than 1 second). The 7 SSD should change to c1, c2, c3, A. (A = the Gemini Platform acknowledges the alarm signal).

GradeShift UDL Step 4 - Check Signals Once you have successfully tested your GradeShift, make sure that you check with your ARC to see that they are receiving signals. This can be achieved by calling your ARC or using their web based secure platform.
GradeShift UDL Step 5 - Advanced Instructions LINE FAULT Ensure you wire the fault output in accordance with the standard you wish to adhere to. For further information on the different options please follow the wiring diagrams in Section 2 and the full Installation Manual available via the Installer Zone To enable/disable PSTN use the following A &...

(L is flashing) This disables (L is on solid). This enables Immediate PSTN/RADIO/LAN fail test (for 10 mins – engineer mode): (L is flashing) This disables E N G FAIL TO COMMUNICATE MONITORING USING DIAL CAPTURE If you want to monitor the Dial Capture connection, connect an output configured as PSTN line fault on your Control Panel to one of the GradeShift’s inputs.

RS232/485 - for installations using RS232 or RS485 simply follow the wiring diagrams in step 6. LAN - For installations using LAN as a communication path connect a Cat5 (or higher). GRADESHIFT WILL AUTOMATICALLY LEARN WHETHER THE PSTN LINE REQUIRES A 9 TO DIAL OUT AND WILL SAVE THE SEQUENCE TO ITS CONFIGURATION.

GradeShift UDL Step 6 - Wiring PIN TRIGGERING In the operation, GradeShift is triggered by applying or removing zero volts to the input terminals 1-12. No external pull-up resistors will be required. This is generally achieved via the digital communicator outputs of an intruder alarm or similar Control Panel.
Page 13
DIAL CAPTURE In this operation, GradeShift simulates and replaces the phone line connection to the Control Panel’s Digi-Modem. The Control Panel’s Digi-Modem must use one of the following alarm formats: Fast Format, Contact ID or SIA. In the event the Control Panel needs to send a signal to the ARC, GradeShift will capture the message and forward it, via Gemini, to the ARC.

A. In most cases the GradeShift will explain the reason a signal cannot be sent to your ARC using an error code shown on the SSD. If, after trying to rectify the displayed fault, the GradeShift can still not transmit to your ARC please contact CSL Technical Support.

Enclosure requirements for the GradeShift UDL Fire are the same as for the Fire Alarm Panel itself. The enclosure must provide the facility to indicate the state of the fault and acknowledge outputs on the device.

PINs 1-10 take a lower priority than 11-12 when signalling. The alarm codes generated by these inputs are as follows: CONTACT ID FAST FORMAT Pin 11: Event 110 group 0 Pin 11: FA8011/FH8011 Pin 11 Channel 11 zone 11 Pin 12: Event 373 group Pin 11: FA8011/FH8011 Pin 12 Channel 12 0 zone 12...

GRADESHIFT UDL FIRE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO WORK AS A DUAL PATH SIGNALLING DEVICE, INSTALLATIONS THAT USE ONLY 1 SIGNALLING PATH WILL NOT MEET THE SPECIFIED DP2 FAULT REPORTING TIMES. RELAYS The Acknowledgment and Fault signals are triggered by the AUX Relay and Fault Relay respectively.
Page 23
3 - There is an open circuit in any of the interconnections between the CIE and the device. (For FSL and EOL configuration) 4 - An acknowledgement has not been received from the Gemini Platform within the allotted time after a Fire Alarm has been sent within 240 seconds (type 2), 100 seconds (Type 1) 5 - There are no transmission paths available.
