(explosion and fire). EU DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Hereby, EL.MO. S.p.A. declares that the radio equipment RIVERRF is in compliance with Directive 2014/53/EU. The full text of the EU declaration of conformity is available at the following Internet address: elmospa.com – registration is quick and easy.
VIDOMOBTRX, TITANIA series, PREGIO series, can control a high number of zones connected either directly to the main board, either to different expansion modules called concentrators. The RIVERRF concentrator will be managed also by other expressly compatible products in the future.
RIVERRF - TECHNICAL MANUAL - 090030430 RIVERRF is an accessory of expressly compatible devices. Note: for compliance with the EN50131-1 regulation, the supervision time must be set to 30 minutes and only the radio devices belonging to the Helios system, 4 and 5 series, shall be used.
090030430 - TECHNICAL MANUAL - RIVERRF Make sure the tamper switch against opening (on board top) is on the upper side as indicated by the symbol reported on case base. Position the cover on the base. Make sure the arrow on the cover is on the upper side, like the one on the base.

RIVERRF - TECHNICAL MANUAL - 090030430 Concentrator wiring, example of ETR serial line: CP8/REL board and UNIREL small relay boards wiring. NOTE: THE CP8/REL GROUP AND THE EIGHT UNIREL BOARDS CANNOT BE REPLACED BY THE ETR/REL BOARD. IT MUST BE INSERTED INTO APPROPRIATE HOUSING PROVIDED WITH TAMPER PROTECTION.
4. SELECTIONS 4.1 Serial line termination In order to realize a correct serial line termination, connect the 680 Ω resistor supplied with RIVERRF as indicated below. The diagram shows an example of connection to VIBASIC, VIDOMO, NGTRX/2K series control units.
- PREGIO500 up to 24 zones, PREGIO1000 up to 48 zones, PREGIO2000 up to 104 zones; - PRX128 up to 128 zones, PRX256 up to 256 zones, PRX1024 up to 1024 zones. Note: for all the devices memorized in RIVERRF concentrators connected to NGTRX/2K control units, the default protocol H (Helios) must be set.

5. INSTALLATION The installation of the RIVERRF concentrator must still comply with certain rules to avoid performance drops due to positioning errors. Indeed, it is very important to define with the utmost care the operating area of the receiving system in which the detector is installed, the actual coverage of the sensors and the correct installation mode, especially concerning the nature of the materials used in the building construction.

Example: if some radio sensors acquired in the control unit through the HALLEY wireless unit are stored in the 17, 18, 19 zones, you can connect a RIVERRF with address 1 (i.e. from 17 to 24), but only use the zones from 20 to 24.
6 radio zones + 1 zone for the low battery state + 1 zone for missing supervision of the 6 zones. Note: the new Pregio and Titania control units (fw version 5.x or higher) manage RIVERRF in complete mode. 6. EXAMPLES OF WIRING General wiring diagram for a NET832 control unit.

THE MARKED DEVICES MUST BE EQUIPPED WITH SERIAL LINE TERMINATION WARNING: the minimum distance between RIVERRF concentrators must be 2 metres. Note: the radio devices reported in this area must be intended as examples only: new models will be gradually introduced. Pay attention: the new radio devices will be equipped with double transmission encoding, H (for Helios system devices) or V (for Villeggio system devices).

ALARM FROM ZONE 8 Missing supervision of single-technology detector If RIVERRF is programmed for use in NET5, NET832 (firmware version 2.x), NET9, ETR G2 mode it will manage the following features: • 8 radio devices including remote controls and detectors with complete management via compatible control unit of all specific events (via RS485 serial line).
RIVERRF - TECHNICAL MANUAL - 090030430 7.2 Access to programming To access programming, set dipswitch 1 to ON as indicated in the following picture: The correct acquisition will be signalled by a beep tone of the concentrator internal buzzer and by the indications from the LEDs corresponding to the detectors already stored in memory (already acquired).
090030430 - TECHNICAL MANUAL - RIVERRF 7.3 Acquisition of a detector / remote control The first programming step is displayed as follows. To start the acquisition of a radio detector or remote control, keep the “SEL” key pressed for about 2 s: 1.
RIVERRF - TECHNICAL MANUAL - 090030430 To access this function, press the “SEL” key twice when you start the programming process. If there is no busy position, the buzzer emits an error beep tone. If there is one or more busy position: 1.
090030430 - TECHNICAL MANUAL - RIVERRF 7.6 Definition of supervision time The fourth programming step is displayed as follows. To reach this function, press the “SEL” key four times when you start the programming process. You can choose among 5 default preset timings, displayed through the radio zone LEDs, according to the operative necessities.
RIVERRF - TECHNICAL MANUAL - 090030430 8. OPERATION To start operation, move dipswitch 1 to OFF (STANDARD FUNCTIONING position) as indicated in the picture on the right. 8.1 Displayed information 8.1.1 Intensity of the received radio signal The same LEDs that blink in the acquisition/deletion/supervision programming process, are used to provide information on the received RF signal intensity during normal operation.
090030430 - TECHNICAL MANUAL - RIVERRF 8.1.4 Specific events By pressing the “SEL” key in normal operation mode, you can access a specific visualization mode in which the RF signal LEDs provide the following indications: Green LED blinking slowly = concentrator status and RF interference presence.
The output can only be reset by activating output 6. • the “Detector x failure” event if RIVERRF is operating in NET5, NET832, NET9 mode. This condition can only be reset through the corresponding command sent via RS485 serial line.
IMPORTANT: the activation of the 4 outputs corresponding to the 4 commands activate only the commands, not the outputs physically. Note: In case RIVERRF is used in configuration NET5, NET832, NET9, the 8 on-board electronic outputs can be freely controlled as for a classic RIVER concentrator.
10. CONCENTRATOR RESET 10.1 Special reset “SEL” key pressed at RIVERRF powering on, or Reset jumper closed at RIVERRF powering on. Effects: • reset of the RIVERRF states; • reset of the outputs states (the control unit will have to restore them);...
