What is the… RemVu2 ? At RemGuard we understand that no two security installations are the same. Unlike many other providers of remotely monitored CCTV our latest RemVu2 is actually designed, developed and produced in-house. As a result when the equipment is installed on site it is uniquely configured to meet your individual requirements.

Page 5 This unit should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the manufacturer’s label. Servicing Do not attempt to service this unit yourself as opening or removing covers may expose you to dangerous voltage or other hazards. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Ventilation Ensure unit is properly ventilated to protect from overheating. All the safety and operating instructions should be read before the unit is operated. To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not expose this equipment to rain or moisture. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user of this equipment that there are dangerous voltages within the enclosure which may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. This is a class A product. In a domestic environment this product may cause radio interference in which case the user may be required to take adequate measures. Lightning Strike The unit has some in-built protection for lightning strike, however it is recommended that isolation transformers be fitted to the system in areas where lightning is a common occurrence. Regulatory Notes and FCC and DOC Information (USA and Canadian Models Only) Warning: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense. If necessary, the user should consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician for corrective action. The user may find the following booklet prepared by the Federal Communications Commission helpful: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the US Government Printing Office, Washington, DC20402, Stock No. 004-000-00345-4. RemGuard ©2011...
Page 6 This reminder is provided to call the CCTV system installer’s attention to Art. 820-40 of the NEC that provides guidelines for proper grounding and, in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the grounding system of the building, as close to the point of cable entry as practical. CE Mark If this product is marked with the CE symbol it indicates compliance with all applicable directives. Directive 89/336/EEC. A ‘Declaration of Conformity’ is held at RemGuard Ltd., 1200 Daresbury Park, Daresbury, Cheshire, WA4 4HS, UK. Choosing a location for installation • Ensure the RemVu2 is properly ventilated to protect from overheating. • Ensure there is a 3cm gap on both sides of the unit. • Ensure the unit is not located anywhere it could be subject to mechanical shocks. • The unit should be located in an area with low humidity and a minimum of dust. Avoid places like damp basements or loft spaces. • If the unit is to be installed in a closed assembly, the maximum operating temperature must not exceed 40°C (104°F). • Ensure there is reliable earthing of the mains outlet when fitted to supply connections (other than direct connection to the branch circuit). • Any branch circuit supplying the unit must be rated at 15Amps. • It is recommended that an uninteruptable power source be connected to the unit in case of power failure (to ensure continuous operation of the unit).

Page 9 Step 3 - Wiring the Power Supply Connect the PSU mounted in the housing via the gland in the housing to a fused spur connection. To be compliant with wiring regulations in some countries, an Alarm/Security device should be connected to a fused spur and not a wall outlet socket (check local regulations before installation). An optional 12 volt battery should be connected to the flying cables with ¼ inch spade sockets. RemGuard ©2011...

Page 11 Internal Alarm Connections All alarm connections are made to the internal board. To access this, remove the 5 (five) securing screws on the cover of the RemVu2 enclosure Step 6 - Alarms / Relays Alarms The unit supports thirty normally open/closed EOL alarm inputs via the upper board. RemGuard ©2011...
Page 12 EOL Line inputs End Of Line Circuitry The following describes the EOL tamper alarms circuitry needed when EOL has been configured. There should be two resistive values within the tamper alarm circuitry. These must be located inside the alarm device (furthest point from the unit). Open, the resistive value is 6.8K ohms (1K + 5K6). Closed, the resistive value is 1K ohms, as the circuit does not see the 5K6 ohm resistor. Open Circuit Tamper, the resistive value is infinity as the circuit has been cut and therefore is ‘open’. Short Circuit Tamper, the resistive value is 0 Ohms. Alarm units wired without the EOL resistor can only report two states: Short circuit tamper (Alarm if contacts are Normally Open) Open connection tamper (Alarm if contacts are Normally Closed) Devices which drive open collector outputs or TTL drive levels can only report the above two states. Relays Eight light duty relay outputs are provided on the upper board. The relays are of the encapsulated reed type and are rated at 12 VDC 500ma. RemGuard ©2011...
Page 13: Relay Connector
Light duty relays – troubleshooting The relays are light duty and switch a maximum load of 6 watts. Loads in excess of 6 watts may “hold” the relay on. If the LED can be seen switching and the relay seems be held on, it may be worth checking the load presented to the relay with an ammeter. If the load has been excessive, the relay may be permanently damaged and stuck in the closed contact position. In this case the relay would have to be replaced.

Page 20: Troubleshooting
This section presumes the amp and speaker arrangement is fully functional. Loud hum from loudspeaker system: Check that the cable from the communicator to the audio amp is good quality screened cable, it should be anchored at both ends to the shell or shroud of the connector. If the cable run is quite long, hum may be induced anyway. Try turning the bass control on the amplifier to the minimum setting, it should not affect audio quality. Hissing noise from speakers: A certain level of high frequency noise can be present on the output of many CPU based products and while it is negligible on the communicator (effectively the circuit is muted when not in use), a high powered amplifier may make it noticeable. Check the amplifier gain is not set too high with an audio test transmission. (Remember what sounds quiet by day may be very loud at night.) Back off the treble control until the hiss reduces to an acceptable level (mid point or less), audio quality should not be affected. Distortion: Audio distortion is usually the product of something being driven too hard. A typical example would be a 100 watt amplifier driving a 10 watt speaker. (In this case a short period of distortion may well be followed by a long silence.) Distortion can also be created at the input of an amplifier. The output level of the communicator is at “line level” and should be routed to a line input. Mic or microphone inputs are very sensitive and feeding the line output of the communicator into a microphone input will result in distortion. RemGuard ©2011...
