Master Station. This has the additional benefit of each line being fully monitored and battery backed up. The Beacon Master Station has been designed for radial star topology. In most cases this will reduce the cable requirements for all ring-based systems. The topology consists of spurs formed of 1 two core 1.5mm CSA cables (soft skin enhanced up to 500m per leg, MICC 200m per leg) to each outstation.
THIS UNIT MUST BE EARTHED Warning NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS Each Beacon Master Station requires a 3A spur, returning to a breaker clearly marked “EVCS DO NOT TURN OFF”. Anti-static handling guidelines Make sure that electrostatic handling precautions are taken immediately before handling PCBs and other static sensitive components.
4. Unpacking the Unit Remove the Beacon BM2/4/8 from its packing, and check the contents against the following list: Beacon BM2/4/8 Master Station • Installation & maintenance manual (this document). • User Guide & logbook. • Accessory pack with the following contents: - •...
5. Installation Prior to mounting the Beacon Master Station, it should be decided if the field wiring is to be run on the surface or to be concealed. There are 14 knockouts on the top and 2 slotted entries with a dedicated mains supply entry at the rear.
5.3.1 Fire Telephone system Any system using Type A outstations must use enhanced grade cabling throughout for all wiring, including the mains supply to the Beacon Master Station 5.3.2 Disabled Refuge EVC System For buildings less than 30m in height, or any building with sprinklers fitted, standard grade fire resistant cable may be used to wire Type B outstation and the mains supply to the Master Controller;...
5.7 Outstation Connections The Beacon Master Station is equipped with at least one number Dual line card. One outstation per line output can be connected. If no outstation is connected to the line output, then an end of line 10kΩ...
5.7.1 Type A outstation Note: The Earth screen should be sleeved and connected to the terminal block in the controller, and the earth stud in the Type A outstation. 5.7.2 Type B outstation Note: The Earth screen should be sleeved and connected to the terminal block in the controller, and the earth connection in the metal back box (if a plastic back-box is used cut the earth back and insulate at the outstation) 5.7.3 ACA Accessible Toilet Kit...
To power up the Beacon Master Station, carefully check all internal wiring before applying mains power to the Beacon Master Station. Once the Beacon Master Station is powered, the battery can be attached using the battery leads supplied. When attaching the battery, always attach the Positive (Red+) terminal first.
6. Set up procedure The Beacon Master Station has various site configurations which are configured using the dipswitch located on the rear of the Display PCB. 6.1 BM2/4/8 Master Station Display PCB Dipswitch Settings Line Line Line Line Reserved Reserved Reserved Reserved Remarks 1&2...
Exchange PCB Diagram- 6.2 Adding a Line Card The Beacon Master Station is supplied with at least one number Line Card. There are 2 lines per Line Card. Before adding a Line Card, ensure that the Beacon Master Station is not powered. If the Beacon Master Station is powered, then power down the Beacon Master Station (see 5.10).
7. System Menus 7.1 Login Procedure For access level 2 (User) the code is 1664, for access level 3 (Engineer) the code is 1812. Enter the relevant code using the numbered buttons 1-8, as each button is pressed the user LED will flash cyan/magenta faster until the required code is entered, at which point LEDs 1-3 will illuminate cyan for User mode and LEDs 1-5 will illuminate cyan for Engineer mode.
Call or both. This relay can also be used to connect to the Remote Alarm panel or a remote sounder or beacon which can be configured to cancel operation when the master handset is picked up such that the sounder will not interfere with the conversation.
8.5 Conference Call Depending upon the number of Line Cards fitted in the Beacon Master Station, up to five lines can be connected to the conference call at any one time. To receive a call, see 8.1. To make a call to an individual outstation, see 8.2.
8.6 Acknowledging “Assist Call” alarms When an “Assist Call” goes into alarm, the appropriate zone LED will flash blue, and a two-tone buzzer sounds to indicate that an “Assist Call” alarm has been operated. To acknowledge the alarm, press the corresponding zone button, and the blue LED will illuminate continuously with an intermittent buzzer tone every 15 seconds.
9.2 Power supply and CPU indicator Summary General Description Mains OK Flash Flash Mains failure Battery OK Flash Flash Battery open circuit Flash Battery short circuit Flash Flash Battery high impedance Flash PSU processor fail ...
Configure relevant dipswitches for the number of Line Cards fitted. Power up the Beacon Master Station using mains only, fed from a 3A fuse fitted in an unswitched fused spur. The AC power indicator will be illuminated, and the DC power indicator is extinguished. The PSU fault and General fault indicators will be illuminated.
12. Outstation zone template There is space to the right of each outstation zone indicator to name the location of the outstation. At the rear of the display door there is a slot located in the centre above the display PCB; the outstation zone template can be inserted here.
