Finally, the analogue detection system has been installed. Before powering it up, you
must check the control unit works correctly. Follow all the steps set forth in this chapter.

5.1 Checking the system

Before supplying power to the control unit, check all the following points.
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Check that there are no short circuits between the Auxiliary 24 VDC output and the loop
communication lines.

5.2 System power up

An external bipolar magneto-thermal switch must protect the power supply input.
Once all the connections and installations have been checked, the correct order for
making the connection is as follows:
1. Connect the power supply (See section 3.4.1)
2. Connect the batteries (See section 3.4.1)
The first time that power is connected, the control unit displays RAM FAIL. This is
because the RAM check shows no configuration after first initialisation. Simply press the
RESET button to start with the configuration. (See chapter 4.1.1)
5.2.1

Initial system configuration

The basic configuration of the system may be made entirely from the control unit, but if
you have an external PC, it is easier.
From the control panel of the control unit:

OMMISSIONING OF THE SYSTEM
Check that the control unit has been correctly mounted (See section 3.3).
Check the loops, ensuring that there is no cut or short circuit. Use the tester to check
the continuity of the line.
Check the connections of the main board output. Check that it is correctly installed
and working. (See section 3.4)
Check that the power voltage is 230 VAC or 110 VAC with a voltmeter and the
batteries have a voltage of 24 VDC.
Ensure that the sounder lines are connected with the correct polarity and that they
have the 4K7 end of line resistors. (See section 3.4.4)
Check that the RS485 lines (if used) have the 150-Ohm resistance at the ends).
Check the correct installation of all the elements. (See section 3.4.3 to 3.4.7)
Review the optional components (cards, memories, etc.) (See section 3.5)
