Introduction - EMS FIRECELL Programming Manual

1.0 INTRODUCTION

•
This manual provides a comprehensive guide to the programming of the EMS FireCell Radio
System.
•
The EMS FireCell System comprises of Radio Hub capable of receiving information from a
maximum of 31 EMS Radio Cluster Communicators (RCC's). The RCC's are each capable of
receiving information from up to 31 radio devices. The radio devices include Smoke, Heat,
Rate of Rise and Multisensor detectors, along with manual call points, sounders, sounder
beacons, input/output
strobe/detectors.
•
The communication between devices to RCC and RCC's to Radio Hub is bi-directional and
utilises the 868 MHz frequency.
Radio Hub is four. This is shown overleaf in the system overview.
•
The Radio Hub is available in a number of variations: - Single loop, two loop and four loop
options are available which use the XP95 protocol. The Radio Hub communicates to a protocol
compatible Fire Alarm Control panel via its loop wiring connection.
•
An LCD display is provided on the Radio Hub along with function buttons to allow
programming and diagnostics to be carried out for all associated devices and RCC's.
•
The RCC is a wire-free device requiring only a mains power connection. The unit transmits
data from up to 31 radio devices to the Radio Hub which in turn passes this information to the
Fire Alarm Control Panel.
•
Should any future radio equipment installations be carried out on site, please contact EMS
Technical Support with proposed equipment frequencies and locations, so advice can be given
and therefore ensure no detrimental effects are encountered with the systems performance.
