Node Unit (NU)
The NU comprises a small two part polycarbonate case
containing a single pcb on which are terminal blocks.
The unit is connected to the control network and is a
control and connecting device for four circuits and four
programmable outputs. It also contains a sounder
output and a sounder mute output. It has no external
controls hence it may be positioned at any convenient
location as access is normally only required for
maintenance. The unit is surface mounted and has
cable entry points in the base top and bottom.
Remote Keypad Node Unit (REM)
The REM comprises a small two part polycarbonate
case containing a pcb and the system controls
consisting of:
1.
A 15 key tactile keypad for entering data and
programming the system. When in use the keypad is
illuminated;
2.
A liquid crystal display (LCD) of two lines of 20
characters each which provides system status
information and gives directions when
programming the system.
The unit is connected to the control network and is a
control and connecting device for four circuits and four
programmable outputs. The base contains a terminal
block for all external connections and the unit is fitted
with an internal sounder which provides local alarms
and system status sounds. The unit is surface mounted
and has cable entry points in the base on all four sides.
The REM’s are used to control and programme the
system hence they must be positioned at suitable
control positions with easy access.
Ward Control Unit (WCU)
The WCU comprises the same case as the NU and
contains a single pcb on which are terminal blocks. If
fitted the unit acts as a control and interface device to
allow a designated Ward to be Set and Unset using its
own dedicated Exit and Entry route and units. The WCU
may be positioned at any location normally adjacent to
its Exit/Entry devices and to its controlling REM or NU. The
unit is surface mounted and has cable entry points in the
base top and bottom. It contains controls for its Ward for
setting the entry time, exit time and settling time and links
to select the type of exit procedure.
System Control Network
The CP supplies power to and monitors all the
connected NU and REM via a six or eight wire Control
Network. Each connected unit is ’daisy chained’ to the
Network and the maximum permitted distance
between units is 100m but the furthest unit in a full system
is limited to a total cable length of 1 km from the CP.
