INTRODUCTION

WARNING!

NO WORK MAY BE DONE

ON THIS SYSTEM OTHER THAN BY
APPROVED PERSONNEL.

The PBS-16 Fire Alarm System is of modular construction...The.basicmodule, PBS-16,

with inputs from up to 1536 detectors or sensors, and outputs to-alarms and other equip-
ment, forms a complete fire alarm system with a full range of features. Further modules,
which may be in any combination, enable the system to be expanded to meet the most
complex requirements and to be integrated with other systems.

The modular construction enables the system to be engineered to suit individual installa-
tion requirements, while retaining its full range of facilities.

Because systems are individually engineered, the installation, commissioning and servicing
information given here must be supported by the installation drawings for installation and
commissioning, by the record drawings for servicing, and by other data for the particular
installation.

. . This information is provided as a separate document package.

This manual gives, or gives reference to, all the information necessary for the installation,
commissioning and servicing of the PBS-16 Fire Alarm System.

It begins by defining three distinct sets of input conditions, followed by an outline descrip-
tion of the basic system, based on a block diagram, and introducing the PBS-16 module.
. . . . This is followed by an outline description of the remaining modules in the PBS-16 system,
with a block diagram showing their use in an expanded system.

Further information is then given on each module.

CHAPTER TWO

GENERAL DESCRIPTION .

2.1 INPUT SYSTEMS

Three distinct systems of input devices are possible in the PBS-16 alarm system.

Connections to the Control Panel may be in Lines or Loops.

A Line or Loop may be one of three types:

(a) Conventional detectors. This is normally referred to asconventional lines or

loops.

(b) Addressable conventional detectors. Usually referred to as digital lines or loops.

(c) Addressable analogue sensors. Referred to as analogue lines or loops.

Manual Call Points (MCPs) and other hard-contact devices may be used with any of these
types.

It is not possible to mix lines and loops in the same system. Within the same system all
modules must either have loops connected to them or they must all have lines connected.

Different types of lines or loops cannot be mixed on the same module. However, PBS-16
and US-16 modules in the same system may have lines or loops of different types. Some
care must be taken when modules with different types of detection lines or loops are linked
together. The PS-16 controlling the whole system must have core software made for an
analogue system if any one of the modules in the system have loops or lines with analogue
sensors. Otherwise the PS-16 core software may be of the digital addressed type.

. The markings on theEPROMS indicate what type of loops or lines they are intended to .
work with, and also if they are for a loop or a line configuration. Please refer to Appendix
H for further detail on processor and EPROM markings.

2.1.1 Conventional Detectors (Fig 2.2)

. , . A Conventional Line is a pair of wires with detection devices connected across it. An
End
Of Line (EOL) device enables a 4.5 mA current to flow through the line, thus confirming
that it is not open circuit.

The operation of any device produces a short circuit, increasing the current flow through it
 INSTALLATIONAND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER TWO: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PBS-16 SYSTEM PAGE 6

to the alarm level of 20 mA.

. A Conventional Loop has both ends of the pair of wires connected to the Control Panel,
enabling monitoring from either end. This provides a safeguard against a break in the
wires. With each loop occupying two line inputs to. the Control Panel, only half as many
loops may be connected, as lines.

The Control Panel is able to distinguish between 4.5mA (quiescent), 20mA (alarm) and
. zero current (fault), but cannot identify the device within the line or loop.

Each line or loop represents one zone.

In this context, a detector is a two-stage device, either quiescent or in alarm. It changes

'state from open circuit to short circuit when the parameter being monitored crosses a
preset threshold.

2.1.2 Addressable Conventional (Digital) Detectors (Figs 2.3 and 2.4)

Instead of detection devices being connected across the line or loop, address units are so
connected, and the detectors are connected to these.

The Control Panel addresses each unit in turn. When addressed, the address unit reports
its status.

In this system, the same three conditions are possible as in the Conventional system; that is,
a 4.5mA current pulse represents the quiescent condition, a 20mA pulse the alarm condi-
tion, and zero current, a fault condition. The significant difference is that the Control
Panel is able to identify the particular address initiating an alarm or fault condition.

One type of address unit has one detector associated with it. Other address units enable
one or more MCPs or other hard contact devices to be connected to one address unit, thus
forming a sub-zone. Any sub-zone has an EOL device to enable open circuit fault monitor-
ing. This EOL device is normally a resistor which is placed inside the furthermost unit on
the line connected to the address unit. Alarm or fault identification is only as far as the
address of the sub-zone. The Control Panel cannot detect which device within the sub-
zone produced the alarm or fault.

, 2.1.3 Addressable Analogue Sensors (Fig 2.5)

Instead of detectors being connected across the line or loop, address units are so con-
nected, and analogue sensors are connected to them.

An analogue sensor provides an output that is a function of the value of the parameter
being monitored. It does not have a changeover between quiescent and alarm conditions.
That threshold is provided by the Control Panel, where its value is preset, and compensa-
tion is made for ageing effects of the sensor, thus reducing the number of false alarms from
this cause. When compensation limits are reached, a fault condition, rather than an alarm
condition, is produced by the Control Panel.
 INSTALLATIONAND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER TWO: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PBS-16
SYSI'EM PAGE 7

The Control Panel addresses each unit in turn. When addressed, each unit reports its
status.

One type of address unit has one analogue sensor associated with it.

The address unit has only two current levels: zero for a fault condition and 20mA for moni-
toring. The 20 mA current pulse is of variable duration, the duration being a measure of
the analogue value of the parameter-being measured by the sensor.

Interpretation of the analogue value into quiescent or alarm condition is a function of the
Control Panel.

Other types of address unit enable MCPs and other hard contact devices to be connected
to the line or loop. Several hard contact devices may be connected to the same address
unit, thus forming a sub-zone. This zone is monitored for open circuit by including an EOL
resistor in the device connected furthest away from the address unit.

2.2 THE BASIC SYSTEM: ADDRESSABLE SENSORS (Fig 2.1)

The basic system has a number of detectors or sensors connected to each of a number of
inputs to the PBS-16 module. Equipment intended for operation if there is a fire alarm is
connected to output relays fitted in the PBS-16 module.

The module consists of two separate units, linked together:

(a) A PS-16 Information and Control Panel, which carries displays and a keypad,
enabling operator control of the system, and providing information to the
operator.

(b) A US-16 Control and Monitor Unit, which contains the data collection, data
processing and output equipment.

The PS-16 module is microprocessor-based, and operates under the control of a predeter-
mined programme. It continuously checks the keypad for any input from an operator, and
guides the operator by using the Message Display while a function is being entered. When
the function is correctly entered it processes the request made by the operator. It displays
. , requested data in the Message Display and passes.on required data to the other modules.
The PS-16 module also interrogates each US-16 module in the system at regular intervals
to ensure that the communication between the various modules functions properly. The
PS-16 module also displays all alarms and fault messages received from other modules.

The module continuously scans each line or loop in turn, and within each line or loop,
monitors the output of each detector or sensor for a normal return, a fault condition or an
alarm condition. It also monitors the Control Panel for any keypad input from an operator,
and runs a self-test programme. Each cycle of operations is completed in approximately
two seconds.

So long as normal conditions are maintained, there is no output from the Control Panel.
 INSTALLATIONAND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTERTWO: GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PBS-16 SYSTEM PAGE 8

2.2.1 Inputs

Inputs may be address units associated with addressable sensors or detectors, or from
conventional detectors. In each case, each device is connected across a pair of wires.
There may be up to 32 conventional detectors connected across one pair of wires, or 96
addressable sensors or detectors.

If one end of.the pair of wires is connected to the PBS-16 module, and the other end termi-
nated, the pair of wires' is called a Line: There may be up to 16 lines connected to the
module, allowing up to 96 X 16 = 1536 sensors.

If both ends of the pair of wires connect to the module, the pair of wires is called a Loop.
Up to eight loops may be connected, allowing up to 768 sensors.

Each line or loop is identified by a two-digit address, using numbers consecutively from 01
upwards. .The loop or line number is derived from the address of the US-16 it is connected
to. Each address unit in a line or loop is similarly identified, from 01 up to 96. Thus each
address unit (and consequently, each sensor) has an unique four-digit address consisting of
the Line/loop address followed by its own two-digit number.

2.2.2 Data Collection

The PBS-16 module scans each address in turn, monitoring the condition of the associated
sensor. Analogue values are fed through an analogue to digital converter in the Control
Panel before being processed further. The module also monitors the Control Panel keypad
to determine if it is being used, and monitors the auxiliary inputs. Also the com bus is
continuously monitored for fault or input from other modules connected in the system.

2.2.3 Data Processing

From its own stored reference data, the module is able to determine if each sensor is in its
normal state, in a fault condition, or in an alarm condition.

For the normal condition of the sensors, the data processing produces no outputs, but if
one sensor shows an abnormal condition on two successive scans, then outputs are pro-
duced.

. .. . . For .a fault alarm condition;

outputs operate a buzzer and provide data to the displays.
Data is stored, and if a printer is connected to the system, the data is printed out.

For a fire alarm condition, an output provides data to the displays; data is stored, and if a
printer is connected to then-system, the data is printed out;:Separately, according to the
reference data for the particular sensor, other selected outputs are provided. The refer-
ence data is contained in the customised Cause and Effect programme, or in its absence, in
the default programme.
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTERTWO : GENERAL DESCRIPTION
PBS-16SYSTEM PAGE 9

2.2.4 Outputs (Fig 2.1,2.6)

. Output relays are fitted in the PBS-16 module to provide control of external equipment,
and a selection of these relays is operated by the processor, when it responds to an alarm
condition.

. . This external equipment is special-to-installation. It will include alarm sounders, and may
, include such items as quenching systems, plant shut-down equipment, extended alarm to . .

fire brigade, and so on.

Data and control outputs are provided onto a data bus which connects to other modules
that may be included in the system.
Two further (optional) data buses enables-the connection of other systems: a computer-
..ggraphics, text and printer package; a BMS system; a portable computer interface pro-
gramme (PBSVIEW).

. Figure 2.1 gives an overview of the inputs and outputs available in the basic PBS-16 system,
while figure 2.6 indicates a few possibilities in an extended system.

2.2.5 Manual Control

The Information and Control Panel (the PS-16 module) is included in the PBS-16 module.
Data is provided to the panel: .the data accesses a standard message programme and a
customised message programme (carried on an EPROM onthe-:panel). These pro-
grammes provide appropriate messages for display. The keypad fitted is monitored by the
processor.

. . . A number of functions are available to the operator or service engineer by use of the key-
pad. Most of these functions require the use of an access code. Control is interactive, since
. the microprocessor uses the displays to respond (prompting the operator to provide data
needed to carry out the function), and to display data requested.

2.3 THE BASIC SYSTEM: CONVENTIONAL DETECTORS

Since conventional detectors cannot be monitored individually, the PBS-16 system is lim-
ited to the knowledge of which line or loop is signalling an alarm. Thus, each line or loop
, is, in effect, a zone:: The basic system permits eight loops or 16 lines, but this can be in- .
creased significantly by the addition of extension modules to the system, so that the system
can include a large number of small zones. For each zone, a relevant text message is dis-
played, and for each zone, a customised programme selects which output relays are oper-
ated by an alarm from that zone.

2.4 EXPANDED SYSTEM (Fig 2.6)

For an expanded system, a number of modules are available, in addition to the PBS-16
module. They are linked by an internal communications data bus, which permits up to

fifteen modules to be connected to the bus (including the PBS-16). An example of an

expanded system is given in Fig 2.6.

CHAPTER THREE

MODULE DESCRIPTIONS ..'

The modules of the PBS-16 system are listed here, with a brief description of each.

3.1 PBS-16 SYSTEM MODULE

. ... . This is .the basic module whose function

has been outlined in the Basic System description,
. , . . . paragraph 2.1. It consists of a US-16 Control and Monitor Unit and a PS-16 Information
and Control Panel, both of which are described below.

3.2 PS-16 INFORMATION AND CONTROL PANEL .

This carries all the lamps and displays giving information to the operator, and a keypad
that enables him to control and operate the system. A customisedEPROM, carrying the
text message appropriate to each address, is located at the back of the PS-16's printed
circuit board. This customised text is displayed on the second line of the Message Display.
It is displayed in addition to the normal first line text for fire or fault.

. The PS-16 controls and supervises the internal communication bus. This data bus is used
,
for communication with all US-16 modules in the system, including the one the PS-16 is
connected to. The internal data bus goes through the 40-way ribbon cable, and terminals
are provided on the US-16 module for connection of other units to this data bus.

The PS-16 also controls the two communication channels on the COM-16 Communication
Card if such a card is present on the US-16 the PS-16 is connected to.

If no COM-16 Communication Card is used in the system the PS-16 card can be mounted
remote from the US-16 it belongs to. It is then just connected to 24V DC and the internal
communication bus. If there is a Communication Card on the US-16 motherboard the PS-
16 ribbon cable must be plugged into the P1 connector. The ribbon cable can be extended,
.
but the maximum total length is 2 metres when a Communication Card is used:

3.3 US-16 CONTROL AND MONITOR UNIT

This unit consists of a Loop Card and a motherboard. The processor on the Loop Card
operates independently of other processors in the system, but is programmed to act upon
input received on the internal communication loop from the PS-16 control panel or other
modules connected to the com bus.
 . ' INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER THREE: MODULE DESCRIPTIONS
PBS-16SYSTEM PAGE 18

The motherboard provides connection terminals for the following:

- Eight Detection Loops or 16 Detection Lines
- The Internal Communication Bus
- Auxiliary Relay (can only be used when a PS-16 is connected) .
- Four Alarm Bell Circuits
Three Control Relays
- Fault Relay
. . Voltage Failure Circuit
- Three Auxiliary Inputs
- Three 24VDC Supply Outputs
- External Buzzer
.

- A Relay Slave Unit

I n addition it has a connector for connection of a PS-16 module and a slot for the COM-16
-Communication Card.

. The US-16 is a data collection, processingand output unit. It is used in conjunction with
the PS-16 module, as part of the PBS-16 module. It receives inputs from the lines or loops
of sensors and from three auxiliary inputs. In addition it receives input on the internal
communication bus from the operator's keypad on the PS-16 module or other units con-
nected to the combus. It provides outputs to the lamps and displays on the PS-16 module,
to its own alarm buzzer, and to output relays. It connects to an internal data bus, enabling
communication with up to 1 4other modules of the PBS-16 system.. By the addition of a
Comms Card, it provides an external RS232C data bus connection to an optional computer
text, graphics and printer package. A Communication Card may only be added to a US-16
module that has a PS-16 module directly connected to it. This is because the Communica-
tion Card is controlled by the PS-16 module through the 40-way ribbon cable.

. A number (up to 14) of the US-16 modules may be used without the PS-16 module, as
. . ... .extension units in the system, permitting the connection of further complete sets of inputs
and outputs to the system.

Each unit has its own unique address on the internal communication bus. This address
should be between 1 and 15 and is set by a 4-pole dip-switch located on the US-16 mother-
board. The addresses selected for US-16 modules must run consecutively from 1 up to the
number of US-16 modules connected. All US-16 connected to the com bus must have a
.. lower address than other type of units connected. No holes are allowed in the address .
range on the com bus.

The loop or line number of the detection circuits connected t o an US-l6 is determined by
considering the address of the module on the data bus,the type of detectioncircuits in the .
system (lines or loops), and finally the number of the detection input the line or loop is
connected to. -Appendix I gives information on which loop or line numbers corresponds to
the different addresses on the communication bus.

Each US-16 module may carry a customised Cause and Effect EPROM (on the Loop
Card). This determines which outputs are operated by each alarm. In default of this
 . . . INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER THREE MODULE DESCRIPTIONS

EPROM being fitted, the permanent built-in Default programme is operative. Data on the
. ... Default programme is given in Appendix A. Data on the customised programme is given
.
in Part 2 of the Operator's Manual.

3.4 SRP-16 REPEATER PANEL

This provides a remote repeat of the displays on the PS-16 module. It is connected to the
internal communication bus and acts on the messages transmitted on this data bus. The
SW-16 has no specific address on the com bus, but the load on the communication bus by
connecting it must be considered. It has a 2 X 40 character Message Display and two LEDs.
. In addition it has four buttons, a buzzer and contacts for fault and fire alarms. It also has a
dip-switch which determines the function of the silence key, determines if a global reset
from the SW-16 is allowed, and determines the function of relay 2 which is the fault con-
tact.

How to operate the SRP-16 and how to configure it with the DIP-switch is explained in
Appendix L.

Upon a fault or fire alarm being signalled on the internal communication loop the SRP-16 .
display the appropriate alarm message in the 2x40 character Message Display. It also starts
flashing its yellow or red LEDs depending on the type of alarm received. When a fire
alarm is accepted by pressing 'Silence' the red LEDs change from flashing to steady on.

A EPROM containing customised text similar to the one placed on the back of the PS-16
module may also be fitted at the back of the SRP-16 PCB. This EPROM may be identical
to the one included on the PS-16. In this case the second line text on the SRP-16 is identi-
. cal to the one shown on the PS-16 panel. This is not a must and the EPROM may be
programmed to give different messages on the second line from the ones displayed on the
second line on the PS-16 Message Display.

Cause and Effect of the SRP-16 is possible, but is limited to turning on the two relays upon
fire from specific addresses. The relays may only be turned off upon a system reset.

3.5 RU-16 MASTER RELAY UNIT

. .. .. . ... . .This carries 16 programmable relays and can support four Relay Slave Units. The RU-16
consists of a Loop Card and a motherboard. The Loop Card controls the relays on the
motherboard as well as the outputs provided by relay slave units connected to the RU-16.
The motherboard provides, in addition to the slot for the Loop Card, connection terminals
for the internal communication-bus, 16 output relays,--and for four-relay slave units.

The Loop Card in the RU-16 can control up to 240 outputs with four RS-56 units con-
nected. The processor on the Loop Card operates independently of the other processors in
the system, but it acts upon messages received on the internal communication loop from
the PS-16 control module or other modules connected to the com bus.
 ' ' INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER THREE MODULE DESCRIPTIONS
P S 1 6 SYSTEA4 PAGE 20

Each RU-16 must have a unique address on the communication bus. The address is set in
a special Cause and Effect program since the RU-16 does not have a dip-switch for this
purpose. This is one of the reasons why the Loop Card fitted in the RU-16 always must
have a Cause and Effect EPROM fitted. The address of the RU-16s in the system must
always be higher than any US-16 modules connected to-the internal communication bus.
The addresses should run consecutively from the first available address on the corn bus.

3.6 RU-161 MASTER RELAY AND INPUT UNIT

This is the same as the RU-16 except that the motherboard has terminals for connection of
16.analogue inputs and 24VDC output. The .l6 analogue inputs are protected and accepts
input currents between 0 and 50 rnA, producing a voltage across the 100 ohm measuring
resistor between OV and 5V. Each input is addressed as if it were a line or loop and has a 6
bit resolution. This means that current changes as small as 0.8 mA (80 mV) may be de-
tected.

The RU-161 also has two switches which physically disconnects the two blocks of eight
relays on the motherboard. Two red LEDs are also included, and they light up when the
corresponding switch isolating a block of relays is operated.

Note-that the two LEDs is the only warning given that one or both switches have been
operated. No fault warning will be displayed .on the Control Panelif these switches are
operated leaving all or part of the output relays inoperable.

3.7 RS-16, RS-32, RS-56 RELAY SLAVE UNITS

These carry 16,32, and 56 individually addressable outputs and connect to the RU-16
Master Relay Unit, the RU-161 or the US-16 module. The RS-16 have 16 relay outputs
while the two other RS-Units have current driver outputs. The RS-Units are operated and
controlled by the Loop Cards included in the units they are connected to. The function of
each output must be specified in the Cause and Effect EPROM included on the Loop Card
controlling them.

The US-16 module can support any one of these units, while the RU-16.and RU-161 can
each support four of these units. Different types of Relay Slave units may be connected to
. . the same RU-l6 or.RU-161,but this requires extra care and planning during programming
and testing. See Appendix K.

3.8 MIMIC PANEL DRIVER (IF-16, Loop Card, RS-Units)

A Loop Card carrying the same core software as is used to control the RU-16 or RU-161
may be placed on a PCB called IF-16. This unit may be used as a mimic driver. Up to four
RS-Units may be connected to it. The RS-Unit's outputs are controlled by the Loop Card.
With four RS-56 cards connected the Loop Card is able to drive up to 240 LEDs. More
\ Loop Cards placed on IF-16s may be added if more outputs are required. Each Loop Card
i
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING ~ w A L m R T H R E E MODULE DESCRIPTIONS
P S 1 6 SY!XJ34 PAGE 21

may have four RS-Units connected.

Each module consisting of a Loop Card and an IF-16 must have its own unique address on
the internal communication bus. The address is set in the Cause and Effect eprom as for
the RU-16 and RU-161. .The address must be selected so.that no US-16 has a higher ad-
dress number, and so that there are no gaps in thenaddresssequence on the com bus.

The IF-16 also provides connection terminals for three digital auxiliary inputs, (input On =
5V; input Off = OV),.and 16 analogue inputs. These inputs are not noise or over-voltage
:

protected and special care must be taken when they are used. (See Appendix J.) The
digital or analogue inputs are, apart from lack of protection, identical to the digital inputs
on the US-16 (Aux. Inputs) or the analogue inputs on the RU-161. These inputs are in
Cause and Effect treated in exactly the same way as the corresponding US-16 and RU-16
inputs.

In addition the IF-16 provides an output terminal for an external buzzer. When the IF-16
is used with a Loop Card the 3 straps must be fitted (see fig. 3.1). These straps enable the
5V regulator that is included on the IF-16 card. The straps must be removed if a RS-56 is
placed on the IF-16.

Fig. 3.1 Straps On The IF-16

3.9 BRP-16 FIRE BRIGADE PANEL

The BRP-16 panel is designed as a result of special requirements put forward by approvals
. bodies in Norway .and Sweden.. The panel is meant to provide the fire brigade with a stan-
dard interface to fire alarm systems. The fire brigade has no need to know how to operate
a specific Fire Alarm Panel, since the system can be operated from the BRP-16 connected.
Fire Alarm Panels produced by different manufacturers have the same user interface. The
panels look alike, they have.the same keys .and.indicators.and they are operated in the .
same way.

The BRP-16 module is connected to the internal communication bus, but it does not have
its own address on the bus. It is therefore not included when the number of modules con-
nected is counted. But it must be included when considering the total load connected to the
com bus.
, . . , .,. .
- . INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER THREE: MODULE DESCRIPTIONS
P S 1 6 SYSI'Eh4 PAGE 22

Two versions of the panel exists. One version has a 2 X 40 character Message Display
, .. . similar to the PS-16 Message Display. The other version has a four-digit seven-segment
Address Display fitted instead of the Message Display. The Address Display is similar to
the one included on the PS-16.

The panel has a lock and three keys which are.used.tooperatethe panel. The BRP-16 can
only be operated after it has been unlocked by using a special Fire Brigade key. The panel
also has a number of LEDs that indicate the system status.

CHAPTER FOUR

CARD DESCRIPTIONS

This chapter describes some of the electronic cards used in the PBS-16 system.

4.1 PBS16SA LOOP CARD

The Loop Card is a plug-in card containing a microprocessor, memory and a number of
input and output channels. The card is used to control US-16, RU-16 and RU-161 modules
as well as Mimic Panels. .The US-16, RU-16 and RU-161 each have a slot reserved for the
Loop Card. In Mimic Panels the Loop Card is normally used together with the IF-16 card
which provides a plug-in slot and connection terminals.

The Loop Card's microprocessor have an internal EPROM which carries the main soft-
ware programme. There is two main types of..core:software .(main.softwareprogramme):

(a) For Loop Card controlling a US-16 module.

(b) For Loop Card controlling a Relay Unit or Mimic Panel.

The markings on the processor indicates what type of software is included in it. Refer to
Appendix H for information on Loop Card microprocessor markings.

The Loop Card has the following input and output capabilities:

16 Switchable 24VDC output lines

16 Analogue input lines
10 Switchable 5VDC input/output lines
1 Optically isolated communication channel

Which of these input and output lines are available and what they are used for depends on
the type of core software fitted, and which type of module it is used with.

The Loop Card also has a socket marked V4 which is reserved fora special Cause and
Effect programme. The Cause and Effect programme may modify the Loop Card's re-
sponse to fire alarms, fault messages, local inputs or messages it receives via the internal
communication bus. A Cause and Effect programme is usually included to meet special
requests put forward by the customer. The function of the Cause and Effect fitted on Loop
Cards in a specific system is specified in the Operator's Manual Part 2.
... ,..
.' INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAFTER FOUR: CARD DESCRVITONS
PS16S Y m PAGE 25

A Loop Card used in a PBS-16 or US-16 module does not need to have a Cause and Effect
programme fitted to operate. The general rule is that all Loop Cards controlling Relay
Units or modules with RS-Units connected require a Cause and Effect EPROM.

4.2 COM-16 COMMUNICATION CARD

L The COM-16 card is a plug-in card. A slot is provided on the US-16 motherboard for the
ainsertion of a COM-16 card. This slot may only be used if a PS-16 module is directly con-
nected to the motherboard. Hence, the COM-16 card may only be used with the PBS-16
module. The reason for this is that the Com-16 card is actually controlled by the micro-
processor included on the PS-16 card. The control signals are passed from the PS-16 mod-
ule to the COM-16 card through the 40-way ribbon cable. The PS-16 module must be
connected to the motherboard through the ribbon cable and the maximum total length of
the ribbon cable allowed is 2 metres.

.-.. ..The most common reason for including a COM-16 card is that a printer is required in the
- system.. Other reasons is that communication with other peripheral equipment or other
PBS-16 systems is necessary.

The COM-16 card provides two communication ports. Port one is always configured as
RS-232C. Port two may be configured as:

RS-232C,
RS-485,
or 20 rnA current loop.

The communication speed (Baud rate), and the configuration of port two is selected by
using the three DIP-switches included on the card. Appendix E explains how to set up the
Communication Card.

Since the Communication Card is controlled by the PS-16 module will the PS-16 core
software determine which port configurations may be used for port two and what informa-
tion is sent to the two ports. The Baud Rates selected for the ports are dependent.on the
equipment connected.

L 4.3 IF-16 INTERFACE CARD

The IF-16 card is used as an interface card for the PBS16SA Loop Card and the RS-56
Output Driver Card. It consists of a slot for. plugging in a.Loop Card or a RS-56 and two
wire terminal blocks. It -also-has a 5VDC regulator.:which.isrenabledwhen the straps di-
rectly above connection terminal X1 is included.

The 5VDC regulator must be enabled when it is used with a Loop Card since the Loop
Card does not have its own 5V regulator. The straps enabling the 5VDC regulator must be
removed before it is used with a RS-56.
 . .
: ' "C I .INSTALLATIONAND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPER FOUR: CARD DESCRIF'TIONS
P S 1 6 SYSTEM PAGE 26

Appendix J shows which function each of the connection terminals have when the IF-16 is
used with the Loop Card or the RS-56.

4.4 RS-56 OUTPUT DRIVER CARD

This is a Relay Slave Unit or .Relay Expansion Unit. - It has 56 switchable 24VDC outputs.
The RS-56 card is similar in size and shape to the PBS16SA Loop Card, and it is usually .
:-..usedtogether with the IF-16 Interface Card.

The IF-16's 5VDC regulator must be disabled when used together with the RS-56. The
.:-.. -: regulator is disabled when the three strapslocated directly above terminal block X1 is cut
or not fitted at all.

.The RS-56 has no microprocessor itself, and is always used together with a Loop Card
B -. which controls the 56 outputs. How many RS-56 can be controlled by a single Loop Card is
I dependent on the type of core software included in its microprocessor. A Loop Card in a
US-16 may only control one RS-56 while a Loop Card fitted with RU-16 software may
control up to four RS-56. The combination of one Loop Card and four RS-56 gives a
maximum of 240 outputs that can be controlled by a single Loop Card.

Primary uses of the RS-56 is to drive lamps on Mimic Panels or relays.

4.5 RS-32 ZONE INDICATION CARD

. , ,, The RS-32 has 32 red LEDs. The outputs are controlled by the processor on a Loop Card.
The RS-32 is normally used together with the PBS-16 module to give zone indication for
. . ..firealarms in the system. It is then connected to the terminals provided on the US-16
motherboard for the connection of a RS-Unit.

In some countries it is mandatory that a RS-32 is included with the PBS-16 module to give
zone indication.

The RS-32 may also be connected to Relay Units or Loop Cards placed on IF-16 Interface
Cards.

5.2 POWER SUPPLIES

Power supplies to a PBS-16 system may be centralised or distributed. That is, there may be
one Charger Unit and battery supplying one PBS-16 module with 24V DC, from which all
other modules are supplied (centralised), or each'PBS-16 aid .US-16 module may have its . .

. own Charger Unit and battery (distributed); and distribute.:its.supplyto other local mod-.
ules.

CAUTION!

FULL MAINS VOLTAGE MAY BE PRESENT WITHIN '

THE CHARGER UNIT. DISCONNECT THE MAINS

WHILE SERVICING THE CHARGER UNIT FOR
MAXIMUM SECURITY.

At the Installation stage, although cables must be run to the mains supply and correctly
terminated, they must remain isolated from the supply.. Wiring must be taken to the 24V ..
DC batteries and terminated correctly for the batteries, but -the connections to the batteries
must not be made. There must be no way in which mains or battery.co~ectionscould be
made accidentally.

The 24V DC supply wiring from the Charger Unit goes to a PBS-16 or US-16 module and
is distributed from there to other modules. Although the wiring is to be installed and
correctly terminated, the connections into modules from the PBS-16 or US-16 are not to be
made. Instead, they are to be temporarily insulated. .

Where the 24V DC supply cables are connected (that is, battery cable into Charger Unit,
battery supply cable between Charger Unit and PBS-16 or US-16, mains-derived 24V DC
supply cable between Charger Unit and PBS-16 or US-16), great care must be taken to
ensure that the correct polarity is observed. There can be no reverse polarity protection,
and damage can result from a reversed connection.

5.2.1 Disable Supply Monitoring

. - r. : :. A PBS-16 or US-16 that isconnected to a Charger Unit monitors the supply. Other PBS-16 .
and US-16 modules are to have their monitoring disabled. .

The procedure is:

(a) On the motherboard of the PBS-16 or US-16, remove the test load PTC resis-
. tors R52 and R71. These two resistors are located directly below relay W.

(b) Make a connection from terminal X1/4 to terminal X2/1.

5.3 INPUTS

Any one PBS-16 or US-16 module may have lines or loops of conventional detectors con-
nected to it, or it may have lines or loops of addressable sensors connected to it. It may not
have both. However, within one system, one PBS-16 or.US-16 mayihave conventional . .

detectors connected while another has addressable.sensors connected.

NOTE: . All line and loop wiring is polarised and must be kept floating with respect to
,.. the power supply and system earth.

A line has one end of its pair of wires connected to terminal block X3 on the PBS-16 or
;: US-16. : The line length is limited to 1000 metres maximum. That -is,lOOOm for each of the
: wires in the pair.. Or .in other .words a maximum of 1000 metres from, say, the positive

. . terminal on the US-16 module to the positive terminal on the device furthest away from

-...the module. Connections are as shown in Table 5.2.

A loop has both ends of the pair of wires connected to the terminal block X3. The loop
a length is limited to 1000 metres. That is, 1000 metres for each wire in the pair of wires. Or
in other words, a maximum of 1000 metres from, say, the positive terminal on one end of
the loop to the positive terminal on the other end of the loop. Connections are as shown in .
Table 5.3.

5.3.1 Short Circuit Isolators

Up to a maximum of three short circuit isolators may be installed in any loop. These divide
the loop up into four sections, and have the effect of limiting the number of detectors or
. sensors put out of service by a short circuit on the loop.

This unit has connection terminals for connection of an LED which operates when the
units reacts to a short circuit on the loop. I£a LED is not fitted a short circuit connection
must be made between those two terminals.

Recommended cabling data is given in Table 5.1.

5.3.2 Conventional Detectors

Up to 32 conventional, that is, non-addressable detectors, may be connected to one line or

... .: : .:loop. ...T
he types used are restricted to:

(a) Nittan NID58 Series

' (b) BRK 1800EC

.. (c) Cerberus F712

For a line, the end of line device is normally a 3.9 kohm resistor.

INSTALLATION . . -

5.1 GENERAL
5.1.1 Mechanical Installation

Mechanical Installation is to be in accordance with the installation drawings included in the

. special-to-installation document package. Any deviation from these must be by approved
concession and a record must be kept on or with the installation drawings.

5.1.2 Electrical Installation

Electrical installation, that is, installing and connecting up

cables must be in accordance with the detailed wiring information given in the special-to-
installation document package. Any deviation from-this must be by approved modification
and a record must be kept on:or with the wiring information. The record must be in suffi-
cient detail for drawings and wiring schedules to be amended.

All work must be to the quality required by Company Standards, or as required by the
standards specified in the special-to-installation data package.

All units, racks, or other enclosures of system equipment, including junction boxes must be
connected by suitable conductors to a proper electrical earth. This is to provide protection
from electrical interference and static discharges.

For the same reason, particular attention should be paid to ensure that the connection of
screens on cables is in accordance with the drawings.

Suitable cabling for each part of the installation is specified in the special-to-installation
. . data package, but is summarised here. See Table 5.1 for recommended cabling.

5.33 Addressable Sensors

Address units are connected across each line or loop. Each address unit represents one
address. Each address unit has connected to it one or more sensors; all of which are repre-
sented by that address. .Anaddress unit may be.in the.base of;asensor, or it may be in a . .

separate junction box.

5.33.1 . Analogue System

Analogue sensors provide data to an analogue address unit. The analogue address unit,
when scanned, produces an output pulse of 20 mA, whose duration indicates the analogue
value read by the sensor.

A 12.8111s pulse is the response which is equal to 100% when using function 20. 100% is
normally the limit above which the US-16 or PBS-16 interprets the response as a fire alarm.
. - S .- The normal response of an analogue sensor varies a little depending on type and the envi-
, ronrnent, but is normally between 30% and 50% when using function 20.

5.3.3.2 Digital System

Conventional sensors provide data to a digital address unit. The digital address unit, when
scanned, produces an output pulse whose amplitude indicates the status of the device. A
4.5 mA pulse is the normal response, while a 20 rnA:pulse.xepresents an alarm condition.

5.3.4 Auxiliary Inputs

. . _ Three pairs of auxiliaq input terminals are provided as shown in Table 5.4.

- . Inputs number 1 and 2 require an external voltage source. The source may be one of the
24V DC outputs available. Input no. 3 does not require an external voltage source since it
is already supplied with 24V DC on terminal 27 from 24V DC output no. 1. Fig. 5.1 shows
how the inputs could be connected. The input is activated when the corresponding switch
is pressed.

The default programme uses only input number 3. The panel enters the Evacuate mode
when this input is activated. The input is activated by putting a short circuit between the
input terminals. Inputs number 1 and 2 are disabled in the default programme. Refer to
, . -, :. . Part 2 of the Operator's Manual to find.out how these inputs are used for the particular. - : :-

installation.

Note, however, that terminal 27 gets its voltage through fuse.F3,-(thatis the one protecting
24V DC output no. l), and that this input will not.work if fuse F3 is removed or is blown.

.. . .. ... - . Ensure that the correct polarity is observed during wiring.

5.2. These outputs are protected by solid state fuses. A 10k end of line resistor is used to
monitor the line for open circuit and short circuit. Each device connected to the line must
. . be polarised as shown in figure 5.2. If the device is not polarised a diode must be con- -
nected in series with it as shown in fig 5.2. The polarity is reversed during alarm to turn the
connected devices on.

A break in the circuit causes a fault alarm, with the message: . . . .

The Control Relays (1 to 3) are all normally operated when a fire is detected in the system.
The operation of these relays may be modified in cause and Effect programming. Consult
the special-to-installation documentation, (Operator's Manual part 2), to find out if the
operation of any of these relays have been modified.

The Fault Alarm relay is in the default programme operated when a fault is detected in the
system. This relay is normally not energised.

Note that Fault.Alarm Relay is not operated whenever the front panel is indicating a fault .
condition by flashing its amber LEDs. A few typical examples of when this relay is not op-
erated, (even though the front panels amber LEDs are flashing), are when the system is not
initialised, or when something is disconnected.. -.TheFault Alarm relay's operation may be
modified in Cause and Effect programming. Consult the special-to-installation documenta-
tion to find out if the Fault Alarm relay's operation has been modified.

Note that the three Control Relays may be isolated (in software) by using function 10 from
the front panel. The Fault Alarm Relay may not be isolated in the same way, even if it has
j been redefined in Cause and Effect programming.

CHAPTER SIX
COMMISSIONING' ' '.

6.1 INTRODUCTION

The commissioning process is a gradual build-up, .bringing subsections of the system into
working order one by one until a section is complete and functional, and repeating this
process for each section. The sections are then brought together into working order, one
by one, until the system is complete. An overall functional check of the system is then
carried out.

6.1.1 Inputs

Inputs may be lines or loops; devices on these lines or loops may be addressable analogue
or digital, or they may be conventional (non-addressable). Separate commissioning proce-
dures are given for addressable and conventional inputs. Differences between analogue
and digital devices are dealt with as they occur.

6.1.2 Cause and Effect (C&E) and Default Programmes

Each system has a built-in Default programme. That is, in default of (in the absence of) a
customised Cause and Effect programme, the system is programmed to give a standard set
of responses to inputs.

. - This commissioning procedure is written for the Default Cause and Effect programme, and
may be carried out as written. Alternatively, the commissioning procedure may be used
with the customised Cause and Effect programme operating. Notes are included in the text
to cover differences arising when the customised programme is used.

Where a customised programme has been produced, it is normally installed in the equip-
ment at the factory, and commissioning is normally with it in operation.

The Default programme is defined in Appendix A.

6.1.3 Outputs

It may not be desirable for some output devices to be switched repeatedly as system testing
. progresses. Thus, for example, once a line of sounders has been proved, it is disconnected
(function 07) until all other output devices have been proved. When all the devices are
known to be working correctly, they are all reconnected (functions 08,11), and overall tests
are carried out.
'. ' ji INSTALLATIONAND SERVICING MANUAL CHAFIER SIX: COMMISSIONING
P m 1 6 SYSTEM PAGE 42

6.2 RECORD KEEPING

Ensure that you keep a full written record of the entire commissioning procedure, including
a specification of any problems encountered, and the final system initialisation parameters
(i.e. a "map" of the system configuration).

Since a printer is an essential part of the commissioning equipment,-most of this informa-

tion is automatically available as hard copy. Information on the connection of a printer to
the system is given in Appendix F.

These records should be filed for future reference.

Keep a record describing the system including at least:

(a) Hardware:

: ..:.. .; Types of modules in the system and their addresses on-t he internal communication
bus.

Address ranges on the detection lines or loops.

Type of sensors and other input devices.

Number.of sounders connected and their types.

Relays and other output devices.

(b) Software:

: . : Core software versions for eachof the modules in the system, including the PS-16
module.

Listing of custom text. If possible a diskette containing a copy of the text file should
be kept with the record. The record should also show how the text EPROM is
marked, so it is possible to identify which version of the text the EPROM holds.

Listings of the Cause and Effect programme for each sub-unit and how the various
EPROMs are marked. Again it would be useful to keep a diskette with copies of the
Cause and Effect programmes with the record.

All modifications, extensions, updates etc must be carefully added to the record described
above.

NOTE: Software remains the property of Wormald International.

The system user is a licensee of this software.

6.3 POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS (Fig 6.1)

Power supplies to a PBS-16 system may be centralised or distributed. That is, there may be
one Charger Unit and battery supplying one PBS-16 module with 24V DC, from which all
other modules are supplied (centralised), or each PBS-16 and,US-16 module may have its .
own Charger Unit and battery (distributed).

Discover which arrangement applies for the system you are commissioning.

Ensure that the mains input to each Charger Unit is disconnected.

At each PBS-16/US-16 motherboard not associated with a Charger Unit, disable the re-
dundant supply monitoring, as follows:

Remove the two PTC resistors R52 and R71 (the test load resistors). They are
located just below the relays on the right hand side of the US-16 motherboard.

- . .. Connect .tenninal.X1/4 to terminal.X./l (to disable the mains monitoring).

At each PBS-16/US-16 motherboard associated with a Charger Unit:

Remove the battery fuses F1 and F2.

Disconnect, by unclipping the external part ofthe .terminals;-.allconnections to the

motherboard terminal blocks X3, X4, X5.

Fit a 10 kohm resistor across each of the four sounders X411 (+,-); X412 (+,-);
X413 (+,-); X414 (+,-) to close the sounder monitor circuits during testing.

: .Ensure that the connections are made correctly, as shown in Fig 6.1, between the
Charger.Unit, battery, and PBS-16/US-16 motherboard.

Note that the power supply you are using may have terminals marked differently to
the markings shown in figure 6.1. Please refer to the installation instructions that
accompanied your power supply for further detail.

CAUTION!

BECAUSE THE BATTERY MAY BE ON CHARGE

OR DISCHARGE, NO REVERSE POLARITY
PROTECTION IS FITTED.

TO AVOID DAMAGE TO EQUIPMENT,

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT THE CORRECT
POLARITIES ARE OBSERVED.

6.3.1 Monitoring

A battery supervision signal is sent from the motherboard via terminal X113 to the Charger
Unit, requesting a reduction in voltage to approximately 18V, to check the presence of the
battery. This occurs every ten seconds. In addition, every hour a load of approximately
1.5A is applied to the battery to check its charge level. This is via R52 and R71 on the
motherboard.. A Battery Fault alarm is given if, during this test, the battery voltage at
terminal block X2 falls below 23.6V + /-0.3V.

The rectified, smoothed main DC supply (before regulation) is brought to terminal X114
for supervision. A Mains Fault alarm is given if this signal disappears. The presence of a
smoothing capacitor in the supply may delay this alarm by up to 30 seconds.

The following procedures should be completed for equipment supplied from one Charger
. . . . , .: : Unit before starting on equipment supplied from other charger Units.

6.4 POWERUP

Connect and switch on the supply to the Charger Uqit. Replace the battery fuses F1 and
F2. Ensure that the green Mains On lamp is lit at the Control Panel.
Silence any alarms and ignore any fault indications on the displays. Use function 18 to set
the date and time.

6.6 LINE/LOOP COMMISSIONING

All the Lines (or Loops) are checked individually, starting with Line/Loop 1.
I

6.6.1 Wiring Checks

Check visually that all devices are installqd and in a proper condition: that all wiring is in
accordance with the drawings.

At the Line/Loop connections for the motherboard terminal block X3,

If Conventional lines are installed, pleasure the overall line resistance. It should
equal the value of the end-of-line terminating resistor (3.9kohm).

If Addressed lines are installed, measure the overall line resistance with a multimeter.
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAF'TER SIX: COMMISSIONING
PS16S Y m M PAGE 47

Make sure the positive lead from the meter is applied to the positive line terminal.
The resistance measured should be relatively high (megohms). A small resistance
may indicate a short circuit or address units connected the wrong way around.

Continuity is checked by short-circuiting the positive and negative lead at the far end
of the line and then measuring the overall resistance on the line. It should now be
close to zero. The maximum impedance allowed is 80 ohms. Remove the short
circuit and check that the line resistance has changed to a very high value.

Also with the loop/line disconnected measure the resistance from the positive wire to
the 24VDC supply. Check the resistance both to the +24V and OV. (Use either the
auxiliary 24V Supply terminals, Battery terminals, or the Charger connection
terminals.) The resistance measured should be very high in both cases since the
detection loops/lines should be floating with respect to the 24VDC supply.

Also the resistance between the negative wire of the loop/line and the 24VDC
terminals should be checked in the same way. Again the resistance should be high.

CAUTION!

MEGGARS MUST NOT BE USED

TO CHECK CONTINUITY OR INSULATION
BREAKDOWN WITHOUT FIRST DISCONNECTING
ALL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
(DETECTOR BASES, ADDRESS UNITS).

6.6.2 Electrical Checks

If any Fire or Fault alarms appear, take careful written note of the exact wording of the
alarm message(s). Investigate and correct the cause of each, dealing with them one by one.

NOTE: One fault may cause several messages, and one fault may cover up others.

For any problems, see Trouble Shooting (Section 6 ) .

Once any alarms have been corrected, simulate the following fault conditions on the Line
or Loop.

(a) Open circuit. This should be made at each end of the Line or Loop, in turn.

(b) Short circuit. Short-circuit each line. On a Loop, where Short Circuit Isolators
(SCIs) are fitted, a short circuit should be applied in each section in turn.

In each case, check that the fault is reported on the display and that the correct fault
messages are displayed.
 INSTALLATION A N D SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER SIX: COMMISSIONING
P S 1 6 SYSTEM PAGE 48

Use function 20 (List Detector Values) to check that each address installed is giving a
reading in its quiescent state greater than the fault level.

NOTE: Any reading less than 2% on a digital line or loop, or less than 21% on an
analogue line or loop causes the address to be ignored during initialisation.
Detector responses are detailed in Appendix A of the Operating Manual.

Obtain a printout of a full list of address readings by using function 22 or function 23

(See Operating Manual).

NOTE: It is essential that there is an unbroken sequence of addresses from number 01

to the highest in the line or loop, although they do not need to be in sequential
order. Keeping the addresses in sequence on the line or loop has certain advan-
tages and should be done as far as possible.

6.6.3 Auxiliary Inputs

l

Three pairs of auxiliary input terminals are provided at terminal block X3. In the Default
programme, only the third pair, Auxiliary Input 3, at X3127 (+ve) and X3/28(-ve) are
functional.

Short-circuit these terminals and listen to hear if the alarm bell relay operates. If
sounders are connected to alarm bell circuits 1,2,3, or 4 then these will be turned on.

Remove the short circuit.

The above test may not have the desired effect if a cause and effect program has modified
either the relay logic or the auxiliary input logic.

If the customised Cause and Effects programme is in use, discover from its documentation
which of the auxiliary inputs are functional, and check them as above.

Figure 5.1 shows how the inputs could be connected.

6.7 INITIALISATION

6.7.1 Description

Before initialisation, the PBS-16 or US-16 module has no information about the devices
connected to it. This applies to the input circuits and to modules on the communications
'bus. The system makes the assumption that anything up to the maximum number of input
devices and modules may be connected. All alarm signals received are correctly reported,
but there is no indication if any devices are missing.

When initialisation takes place, the system creates and stores a map of the installation at
that time. This provides a reference so that the absence of a response from a device indi-
cated on the map creates an alarm.
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER SIX: COMMISSIONING
P S 1 6 SYSXEM PAGE 49

If further lines/loops or devices are added after initialisation, the system does not recog-
nise them, and re-initialisation is necessary for them to be included on the map. There is
one exception to this:

An alarm device with an address one higher than the highest initialised address is moni-
tored for fire alarm (but not for fault alarm). This exception is to facilitate the testing of
small modifications to the system before re-initialising.

NOTE: Initialisation only includes in the system map those devices giving a response
greater than or equal to 2% (digital systems), or greater than 20% (analogue
systems).

6.7.2 Initialisation Procedure

As each line or loop is connected and found correct, the system is initialised. The system is
re-initialised when the next line or loop is added, and so on until all the lines or loops have
been connected and initialised. Between each time the panel is initialised, its previous
initialisation parameters must be cleared either by using Function 34 or by disconnecting
the power supply.

Before initialisation begins, the system must be in the quiescent state.

At the Printer,

Ensure that the printer is connected and ready to print.

At the Control Panel,

Use function 30 (Initialise All Uninitialised Parts of the System).

The system responds with a request for a special access code.
When this is entered,'initialisation starts. The printer prints out the message:

Date Time INITIATION STARTED

Initialisation takes up to five minutes, and during this time the system must not be touched.
If the PBSVIEW servicing and commissioning tool is connected it must not be in the Auto
Update mode. Preferably it should be in the Message mode, or disconnected altogether.
Any fire alarm occurring during this period overrides the initialisation sequence, which
must then be restarted when the system is again quiescent.

Upon completion of initialisation, the module performs an automatic system reset (only the
green Mains On lamp is lit). The printer prints out the message: . .

Date Time RESET ALARM

Date Time * *INITIATION FINISHED**

\
.Function 31 produces a printout of the list of initialised devices and units, and constitutes a
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER SIX: COMMISSIONING
PBS-16 S Y m M PAGE 50

complete specification of the configuration of the system. This may be compared at any
time with the printout obtained from function 16 (Search Faults), as a check for deviations.

6.7.3 Testing After Initialisation

When a line or loop has been initialised, carry out the following tests:

(a) Check the response of the highest address. If this is present, all the others must be.

(b) Make a random check for a fire alarm or fault alarm by (for example) unplugging an
input device.

When the next line or loop is connected and the system is quiescent, carry out the initialisa-
tion procedure again. Make sure all previous initialisation parameters have been cleared
either by using function 34 or by disconnecting the power supply.

Repeat this until all lines or loops are initialised.

6.7.4 Completed Input Initialisation

When all lines or loops are initialised, carry out tests using Disconnect Loop (function 4)
and Reconnect Loop (function 5).

Use function 4 to disconnect each line or loop in turn. The line or loop voltage is still
present. Only alarm messages related to detector alarms are blocked off, so a fire alarm
created on the loop is ignored by the panel. The scanning of the loop or line and updating
of the detector value registers continues as normal. This means that the servicing and
commissioning tool PBSVIEW is able to check detectors even on disconnected loops or
lines.

Use function 6 to get a list of disconnected loops.

Messages relating to overload and short circuit are not blocked when a loop or line is
disconnected.

Use function 5 to reconnect each line or loop in turn. Check that fault or fire alarms come
through from the reconnected line or loop.

Carry out tests using Disconnect Detector (function 1) and Reconnect Detector (func-
tion 2).

Use function 1 to disconnect randomly selected devices on the various lines or loops. Cre-
ate a fault or fire alarm at each of the devices disconnected. There should be no response
from the system. You may not use PBSVIEW to simulate a fire or fault on the discon-
nected devices. The test may be performed by removing the detector head or by injecting
test gas into the detector head.
\

Use function 3 to get a list of disconnected devices.

 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER SIX: COMMISSIONING

Use function 2 to reconnect the devices. Check that alarms from the reconnected devices
come through.

6.8 OUTPUTS

6.8.1 Sounder Outputs

There are four separate sounder outputs from the PBS-16 module. In turn, for the circuit
to be connected to each, carry out the following procedure.

Check visually that all devices are installed and in a proper condition.

Check that all wiring is in accordance with the drawings.

When the wiring is correct, check that the circuit r,esistance is appropriate for a 1A maxi-
mum, 24V DC supply. Remove the 1A fuses. Check that the correct fault messages are
displayed in the Message Display, and printed by the printer. The fault message is de-
scribed in section 6.4.3. Connect the cable to its terminals on Terminal Block X4. See
Table 6.3.

When each module to be operated from these supplies is ready for test, the associated fuse
should be refitted (section 6.10.4).

6.8.6 Overall Output Check

When all the output circuits have been checked individually and found to be correct, recon-
nect the 24V DC Output terminals on terminal block X4, ensuring that each circuit is
connected to its correct terminals, and that the correct polarity is observed.

Use function 14 to reconnect all currently disconnected lines or loops, detectors, sounder
circuits and the control relay outputs.

The panel should now be reset. Wait a little while to make sure that no fault messages
relating to the outputs comes through.

Inject an alarm and check that all circuits operate correctly.

Where a customised Cause and Effect programme is in use, select and inject alarms to
check that all output circuits operate correctly.

6.9 BASIC SYSTEM

All parts of the system operating from the single PBS-16 or US-16 module have been tested
at this stage. It remains to reinitialise the system, and to carry out a detailed check of the
system messages and of the cause and effect responses.

Detailed records must be kept. See section 6.2.

Most of the records required may be obtained as printouts from the system.

When all connected circuits have been found correct, initialise the system as described in
section 6.7.2.

6.9.1 Message Checking

It is mandatory that an alarm is simulated at every input address. For each alarm, check
that the Message Display shows the correct message, as listed in the customised system
data.

6.9.2 Cause and Effect Checking

Use function 14 to reconnect all currently disconnected lines or loops, detectors, sounder
circuits and control relays.

It is mandatory that all the relevant causes in the system are simulated. For each, check
that the correct effects are being produced in all the output circuits and devices.

For a system which has the PBS-16 module, but no extension modules, commissioning is
now complete. Records should also be completed (section 6.2).

For systems that have additional modules, refer to section 6.10.

 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING ,MANUAL CHAFTER SIX: COMMISSIONING
P S 1 6 SYSIEM PAGE 56

6.10 EXTENDED SYSTEM

For extended systems, the next stages are to test the remaining modules in isolation, then
connect them, one by one, through the internal system communications bus to the Master
PBS-16, initialise the complete system and run an overall test. The system is then ready for
a thorough check and recording of its performance.

6.10.1 ' DIP Switches

Each module including a Loop Card must have its own unique address on the internal
communication bus. The address is either set on a DIP switch included on the US-16
motherboard or in the Cause and Effect EPROM. The addresses allocated form a continu-
ous sequence from 01 upwards, and are to be found in the customised documentation
package. Coding for setting the DIP switches is given in Appendix C.

6.10.2 Connections to Internal Bus

For connection to the bus, each module has a pair of wires entering and a pair of wires
leaving the module. The wires are linked inside the module, providing continuity for the
bus, only if the module is connected. Because connected addresses must be in an unbroken
sequence, the first module to be added to the bus must have the address 02.

During commissioning of the master PBS-16, the internal bus has been disconnected at
terminal block X515 to 8. Before starting to commission any other modules, disconnect
them all from the bus.

At the master PBS-16,

Set the DIP switch to its correct address (normally 01).

Connect the bus to terminal block W / 5 to 8.

If all modules are connected to the communication bus and a complete loop have
been formed, disconnect the temporary links 5 to 7,6 to 8, on terminal block W that
were fitted at para 6.5. This enables two-way monitoring of the bus. A break will not
be detected if the links are not removed. The links must therefore not be removed
until the communication bus forms a complete loop.

When each module has been tested in isolation, it is ready for connection to the bus. Be-.
fore it is connected, set its DIP switch to the correct address for the module.

When one module has been connected to the bus, it should be fully commissioned and
initialised before the next module is connected.
 MSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL C H A F E R SIX: COMMISSIONING
P S 1 6 SYSTE3M PAGE 57

6.10.3 US-16 Control and Monitor Unit

Carry out the procedures given in para 6.3 and 6.4, that is, Power Supplies Connections,
and Power Up.

Use one of the following two methods to continue testing:

(a) Test the US-16 as a completely autonomous alarm system with a PS-16 Information
and Control Panel connected. PBSVIEW (Appendix B) may also be connected in
addition to the PS-16 panel.

(b) Connect the internal system communications bus (para 6.10.2) to use the facilities of
the PBS-16 already commissioned.

In either case, the continued checking and commissioning of the US-16 is as already de-
scribed.

Repeat this procedure for each PBS-16 and US-16 when its turn for commissioning is
reached.

6.10.4 Other Modules

All modules except for the PBS-16 and US-16, receive their power supplies from either a
PBS-16 or a US-16. The only exceptions are RS-Units which may get their power via a
RU-161. For each module to be commissioned, connect the 24V DC power supply from its
parent module, ensuring first that there are no other connections to the module, and ensur-
ing that the supply polarity is correct.

Cany out tests on the module in isolation. These tests are specified for the modules in
Appendix D.

Connect each module, in its address sequence, to the bus and check that it produces the
correct responses. Relay Slave Units (RS-16, RS-32, RS-56) should be added to the parent
Relay Unit or US-16 module and checked as soon as it has been commissioned.
Each time commissioning has been completed on one module, the system should be re-
initialised.

6.10.5 Bus continuity

Because the internal bus can continue to function with a break in it, it is necessary to check
that the bus is complete. When all modules have been connected, short circuit one end of
the bus at the master PBS-16 and measure the resistance of the bus from the other end. Its
value should be close to 0 ohm. The maximum impedance allowed is 20 ohms.

MEGGARS OR OTHER HIGH-VOLTAGE

INSTRUMENTS MUST NOT BE USED.

6.10.6 Message Checking

It is mandatory that an alarm is simulated at every input address. For each alarm, check
that the Message Display shows the correct message, as listed in the customised system
data.

6.10.7 Cause and Effect Checking

Use function 14 to reconnect all currently disconnected lines or loops, detectors, sounder
circuits and the control relays.

It is mandatory that all the relevant causes in the system are simulated. For each, check
that the correct effects are being produced in all the output circuits and devices.

Commissioning is now complete. Records should also be completed (section 6.2).

SERVICING

7.1 AUTOMATIC MONITORING

The PBS-16 system is self monitoring. Power supplies are monitored: a no-volt alarm is
provided if they fall below acceptable levels, and separate alarms are provided if output
supplies fail. The microprocessor control and display circuits are self-tested every two
seconds, and provide a system fault alarm if they fail.

When the system has been set up and is initialised, it creates and stores a map of the instal-
lation at that time. This provides a reference so that absence of response from a device
indicated on the map creates an alarm. It also provides a reference level for each alarm
device, so that it may define fault alarm and fire alarm thresholds for each input, and re-
spond accordingly.

7.1.1 False Alarm Reduction

A comparison of actual signal level with the reference level is made automatically every 24
hours for each device, and if a drift in value is noted, a partial correction is made to the
stored reference value. Too much correction could result in an alarm condition being
missed: too little correction, and a drift in sensor response with time could result in a false
alarm. A balance is achieved to minimise the false alarm rate without jeopardising the
genuine alarm signal.

Note that this feature only applies to systems using analogue sensors.

7.1.2 Fault Alarms

When a fault alarm is produced, a message is displayed on the PBS-16 Message Display,
indicating the nature of the fault. If a Printer is connected, the message is also printed out.
By use of the functions available from the keypad more information can be obtained. Most
of these functions are described in the PBS-16 Operators Manual. Others, which are serv--..
icing functions only, are described in Appendix G of this manual.

7.1.3 System Data

Information necessary for servicing the system is largely contained in this manual.

Customised and special-to-installation data is contained in the separate documentation

package for the system.
INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAFI'ER SEVEN: SERVICING
PBS-16 SYSTEhl PAGE 61

7.2 ROUTINE SERVICING

On a large installation, the number of sensors can run into many thousands, so it is an
enormous advantage that routine monitoring of all devices is performed approximately
every two seconds. Printouts of the results of the monitoring should be made, checked and . - .
filed by the s e ~ c engineer
e on a regular basis. This provides records against which the
system can be checked if or when a fault condition does occur.

7.3 TROUBLE SHOOTING

This section is not meant as a complete guide to all problems that may arise with a PBS-16
system during installation, commissioning, servicing or normal operation. The purpose of
this section is to give a few ideas of what to do when certain things happen, and hopefully
to help you search for the cause of the problem in a structured and efficient way.

Very often the PBS-16 system itself will give the engineer or technician working with the
installation a good indication of what the problem is. The engineer or technician should,
however, remember that the accuracy of the fault messages displayed in the PS-16 Message
Display is dependent on how 'Standard' the installation-is. For example, the panel will ..- . .
always assume that the address units on the detector loops or lines are physically placed in
sequence. If this is not the case for your installation, fault messages regarding faults on the
lines or loops may not be accurate.

It is very important that the cause of the fault is found and cured. Sometimes it is easier to
remove the symptom of the problem, than it is to actually put the fault right. But when this
is done, the fault is still there, even though the fault message never appears because the
symptom has been cured. This puts the proper and safe operation of the system at risk.

A typical example of this problem is to disconnect the earth lead on the US-16 mother-
board from the cabinet. This disables monitoring of earth fault, and the panel is not able
to detect such a fault. This action does not cure the problem, but merely removes the
panel's ability to see the fault. The earth fault is still there and may cause more problems
in the future.

Below you will find a number of problems listed and suggestions of what can be wrong, and
what to do to rectify the problem.

7.3.1 The PS-16 Card Is 'Deady

Symptom:

Message Display shows nothing and all LEDs are off. No sound is heard when push-
ing a key on the keypad. No lights come on when the lamp test button is pressed. It
is not possible to receive or send any messages on the communication bus when
PBSVIEW is used.
 LUSTALLATION AND SERVICISG .%JUAL CHAPTER SEVEN: SERVICING
PBS-16 S Y S E M PAGE 62

Possible cause:

The ribbon cable is not plugged in on the motherboard. Faulty component on the
card short circuiting the power supply. PS-16 card itself faulty or fault on other cards
connected to .the same power supply. Faults on power supply and discharged batter-
ies. Incorrect connection of the power supply.

What to do:

Check that the ribbon cable is properly connected to the connector on the mother-
board. Check the voltage level at the motherboard's Charger and Battery connection
terminals. The voltage should be above 24V DC on both terminals. If this is not the
case check the charger and battery connections and all fuses as described in section
7.3.2. If the power supply and the batteries are OK and no fuses are blown you
should try changing the PS-16 card.

7.3.2 No Power At The US-16 Motherboard

Symptom:

No voltage measured on the Charger 24V DC terminals or the 24V DC Battery con-
nection terminals. Loop Card and other cards connected to the motherboard does
not work. Loop Card fault message displayed in the PS-16's Message Display. De-
tectors on the detection loops or lines does not respond. The auxiliary inputs do not
work. Alarm bells and control relays do not operate.

Possible cause:

Blown fuses and incorrect connection of the power supply. Flat batteries and discon-
nected or faulty Charger Unit. Faulty motherboard or other equipment connected to
the motherboard.

What to do:

Check that the charger and battery connection is correct. A typical charger and
battery connection is shown in figure 7.1. Check fuses F1 and F2 on the mother-
board. Check all fuses on the Charger Unit. If possible determine the cause of blown
fuses and put it right before replacing them. If the fuses blow again the battery and
the Charger Unit should be disconnected from the motherboard.

If there are no blown fuses, the battery and Charger Unit should be disconnected.
Make sure there is no risk of short circuiting the loose wire ends. Check the mains
connection to the Charger Unit. Check that the mains voltage is present at the
Charger Unit with a volt meter. Measure the voltage output from the Charger Unit.
If the mains voltage is present at the charger, and all fuses are intact, and there is still
no voltage at the charger 24VDC output, the Charger Unit should be replaced. If the
voltage is present at the output, the connection between the charger and the mother-
board should be checked by measuring the voltage between the 24V DC wire and the
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER SEVEN: SERVICING
P S 1 6 SY!TEh4 PAGE 63

OV wire at the PBS-16 end. (They should be disconnected from the motherboard
while the voltage is measured).

If 24VDC is present at the charger output when it is disconnected from the mother-
board it is likely that the motherboard itself (or other cards connected to it) has an - -
- l . .
internal short circuit. This is checked by disconnecting the battery and the charger
and measuring the resistance between the +24V terminal and the OV terminal. The
resistance should be at least a few kohms. A short circuit is indicated by a very low
resistance. Try to locate the short circuit by removing the connected cards one by one
(Loop Card, Communication Card, PS-16 front card). The resistance should go up to
a few kohms when the card with the short circuit is removed. If the short circuit is on
the motherboard all the connected equipment should be disconnected and the resis-
tance rechecked. If it is still very low the motherboard should be replaced.

Check the voltage across the batteries (at the batteries themselves). The batteries
may be completely discharged and must be allowed to be recharged before it is pos-
sible to reset the panel without the battery fault message coming up in the Message
Display. This might happen if the charger has not been working for a long period.

Check the battery connection by measuring the voltage at each pair of terminals the :-
battery voltage passes through, ending up at the Battery connection terminals on the
US-16 motherboard.

Reconnect the charger and batteries when you are satisfied that they are not dam-
aged in any way and that the connections are correct. The procedure for powering up
the system described in chapter 5 should be followed.

7.3.3 Loop Card Fault

Symptom:

The PS-16 Message Display shows Loop Card Fault. The buzzer on the unit the
Loop Card is connected to sounds. Not able to read any loop or detector values
either from the PS-16 or from PBSVIEW.

Possible cause:

The Loop Card is not powered. Cause and Effect contains an 'eternal loop' causing . . . .
the microprocessor to do nothing. Missing components on card. Microprocessor on
Loop Card is faulty, or other major component failure. Cause and Effect EPROM
faulty or incorrectly fitted. Wrong address set in Cause and Effect for Loop Cards
used in RU-16, RU-161 or together with IF-16. Wrong address set on DIP switch on
the US-16 motherboard.

What to do:

Check that the 24V DC supply to the unit the Loop Card is used with is intact. Check
that the Loop Card is put into the correct slot on the PBS-16 or US-16 motherboard.
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING iMAiiUAL CHAPTER SEVEN: SERVICING
P S 1 6 SYSTEM PAGE 61

The slot reserved for the Loop Card is marked P3 on the motherboard. Check that
the Loop Card is pressed all the way down onto the connector.

An 'eternal loop' in the Cause and Effect software will cause the Loop Cards watch
dog to restart the card after a short time. The card may therefore seem to be working
fine for some of the time, and then seem to freeze for a short period. The Cause and
Effect must be thoroughly checked for the possibility of such loops.

Check that all main components necessary are fitted properly on the card. The card
should have a processor fitted in the socket labeled V1, and it should have a RAM
chip located in the socket labeled V3. These two components are absolutely essential
for correct operation. If the Loop Card is not fitted in a PBS-16 or a US-16 a Cause
and Effect EPROM must also be included in the socket marked V4.

If the microprocessor is faulty or the card has some other major component failure
the card probably will not work at all, or will perhaps give very strange responses to
the inputs. Touch the main components to find out if any of them are overheating.
An overheated component may be faulty and should be replaced if possible.
Check that the Cause and Effect EPROM, if included, is fitted the right way around
and that all the pins are properly inserted into the socket. A little notch on the socket
and on the EPROM indicates which way around the chip should be inserted.

Check that the correct address is set in Cause and Effect for Loop Cards used with
the RU-16, RU-161 and the IF-16. Check that the correct address is set on the DIP
switch (Sl) on the motherboard for Loop Cards fitted in PBS-16s or US-16s.

If no fault is found the Loop Card should be replaced.

7.3.4 The COM-16 Communication Card Does Not Work

Symptom:

The printer does not print. No telegrams are being sent through the other port.

Possible cause:

The card is not powered. The card is not pressed all the way down onto the connec-
tor. The PS-16 card is not connected to the PBS-16 motherboard. PS-16 is pro-
grammed to support a different port configuration than the one you have selected.
The communication ports are incorrectly set up. The equipment is connected to the
wrong port. The equipment connected is incorrectly configured. The card is dam-
aged.

What to do:

Make sure the power is completely removed before you remove or insert the
COM-16 card. It is extremely sensitive to rough treatment, and will almost certainly
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MA\UAL CHAPTER SEVEN: SERVICING
P S 1 6SYSEM PAGE 65

be damaged if it is inserted while the motherboard is powered.

Check that the unit the Communication Card is connected to is powered. Check that
the card is pressed all the way down onto the connector. Check that the ribbon cable
from the PS-16 front card is properly connected.

If the PS-16 front card is not working the Communication Card will not work either.
The reason for this is that it is the PS-16 card that controls the Communication Card.
Make sure that the front card program is meant to work with the port configuration
you have selected. See Appendix E.

Check that the external equipment is connected to the correct port. Check that the
COM-16 is set up for the correct baud rate on the two ports, and that port 2 (P2) is
correctly configured. Check that only one switch on each DIP switch is set to on.

Check that the equipment connected to the communication port is powered and
turned on and that it indicates no faults. (E.g. Printer alarm due to lack of paper.)

Check that the equipment connected is correctly set up and matches the set up of the
COM-16 port it is connected to. . .

If all else fails try to change the card.

7.3.5 RS-Units (RS-16, RS-32, RS-56) Do Not Work

Symptom:

Cause and Effect controls do not work. Lamp test for Mimic Panels does not work.

Possible cause:

The RS-Unit is incorrectly connected. The RS-Unit is not powered. There is no

Cause and Effect EPROM fitted on the Loop Card that controls the RS-Unit. The
Loop Card controlling the RS-Unit has no contact with the rest of the system through
the Internal Communication Bus. The equipment the RS-Unit controls is faulty, or
the connection is faulty.

What to do:

Check that the RS-Unit is correctly connected. This must be done very carefully. .
This is particular true for a RS-56 used with a IF-16 card. It is very easy to put a wire
into the terminal neighbouring the one it should have been put into. Make sure you . .
do not look at the card at an angle while checking the connections, but are looking
straight down onto the IF-16 card. OtheMise it is difficult to see exactly which termi-
nal the wire is connected to.

Check the voltage at the 24V DC terminals with a volt meter. If no voltage is present
re-check the wiring and the fuses of the power supply it is connected to. For a RS-56
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAPTER SEVEN: SERVICING
PBS16 S Y m M PAGE 66

used with a IF-16 card make sure that the straps on the IF-16 card are not fitted. Cut
the straps if they are included. Make sure that the card is pressed all the way down
onto the connector and that no pins are bent.

The RS-Unit ought to be powered from the same supply as the Loop Card that con- .. .
trols it is powered from. The power supplies must at least have a common OV. For a
RS-56 the equipment that it controls must also be powered frorn the same supply, or
at least have a common OV connection.

Check that the Cause and Effect EPROM is correctly fitted on the Loop Card con-
trolling the RS-Unit. Check that:

(a) The correct EPROM is fitted. See Operator's Manual Part 2.

(b) The chip is plugged into the correct socket.
(c) The chip is plugged in the right way around. The notches on the chip and
on the socket should match.
(d) That the chip is firmly plugged in and that no pins are bent.

Thoroughly check the Cause and Effect for setting of correct address and parameters.
Check that the programme contains no 'bugs' that causes the programme to do ,

'funny' things.

Check that the Loop Card controlling the RS-Unit has contact with the rest of the
system by for example using function 26 (Send Software Version Number) on the
PS-16 or by using PBSVIEW. If there is no communication with the Loop Card the
fault must be found and rectified.

Make sure that the equipment the RS-Unit controls is not faulty, and that it is cor-
rectly connected to the RS-Unit.

7.3.6 Open Circuit On The Communication Loop Is Not Detected

Symptom:

No fault message when there is one open circuit on the communication bus.

Possible cause:

The bridging links ST2 and ST3 on the motherboard in the main PBS-16 module have
not been removed.

What to do:

Remove the bridging links ST2 and ST3 on the motherboard that the PS-16 front card
controlling the Communication Loop is connected to.
 INSTALLATION AND SERVICWG MANUAL- CHAF'TER SEVEN: SERVICING
PBS16 SYSTE,M PACE 67

7.3.7 Open Circuit On Alarm Bell Circuits

Symptom:

Fault message indicating open circuit on Alarm Bell Circuit no. X on Central no. Y. .
Sounder devices connected do not sound.

Possible cause:

Missing EOL resistor. EOL resistor of too large value. Terminal block not pressed
all the way in. Loose connection. Broken wire.

What to do:

Physically disconnect the faulty alarm bell circuit. Measure the resistance between
the two wires. This resistance should be very close to the End Of Line Resistance
which should be 10 kohm. If the resistance measured is larger than 10 kohm but not
several hundred kohms it is probably either a poor connection or a wrong EOL resis-
tor value. Check the EOL resistor, and replace with a new one if missing or found to
be faulty.

If it is not the EOL resistor that is broken or missing the following procedure could
be used: With the alarm bell circuit physically disconnected, move along from the
end of the line towards the motherboard it is connected to one device at a time. At
each device measure the resistance on the line. The resistance should always be very
close to the EOL resistance. When this is not true the stretch of wire causing the
problem is located.

73.8 Short Circuit On Alarm Bell Circuit

Symptom:

Short circuit message for Alarm Bell Circuit no. X, Central no. Y is displayed in the
PS-16 Message Display. The Alarm Bell Circuit does not operate.

Possible cause:

A diode is fitted as a EOL device rather than a 10 kohm resistor. An EOL resistor of.
the wrong value is fitted. Sounder devices not polarised or connected the wrong way .
around. A regular short circuit connection.

What to do:

Check that the Alarm Bell Circuit is correctly connected to the motherboard. .

Physically disconnect the faulty Alarm Bell Circuit. Measure the resistance between
the two wires. If the resistance is not close to zero it is not a straight short circuit
l connection. Check the EOL device is not faulty and is of the correct value. It should
J ,
 INSTALLATION SERVICIXG lMANUAL CHAPTT)R SEVEN: SERVICING
P S 1 6 SYSlEM PAGE 68

be a 10 kohm resistor.

Check each sounder device in turn making sure that it is connected the right way
around and that external diodes have been fitted (the right way around) if required.
Also check that the devices do not have an internal short circuit.

A short circuit connection may be found by using the following method:

With the line disconnected from the motherboard start with the device with the EOL
resistor fitted. Disconnect this sounder device from the rest of the line and make sure
that the resistance between the positive and the negative terminal on the device is
equal the EOL resistance (10 kohm).

Reconnect the unit to the rest of the line, and move to the sounder device before the
one you just checked. Disconnect the end of the line closer to the motherboard and
measure the resistance between the positive and negative terminal on the sounder
device. It should again be equal to 10 kohm. Continue this procedure until the resis-
tance measured is much smaller than the EOL resistance. The stretch of wire or
sounder device with a short circuit has now been found.

7.3.9 Open Circuit On Detection Loops Or Lines

Symptom:

Fault message displayed on the PS-16 Message Display. Panel does not see all
devices on the line during initialisation. Panel gives an incorrect address range when
using function 24 on the PS-16 or when using PBSVIEW.

Possible cause:

One end of a loop is not connected. A loose connection. A broken wire. A detector
head has been removed. Terminal block not fitted properly. Unstable address unit
answering at a wrong address or at an address higher than the highest address on the
loop or line. A short circuit isolator on the loop does not have the LED or short
circuit link fitted.

Note that if a detection loop has a short circuit isolator, one gets an open circuit
message in addition to the short circuit message when the short circuit isolator oper-
ates. This is quite normal, and there is no need to look for an open circuit on the Line
after the short circuit has been cleared.

What to do:

Carefully note the open circuit message reported in the PS-16 Message Display.
Remember that if the address units are not placed in the correct physical sequence on
the loop or line the fault message given may not be accurate.

The fault message given always indicates the last address the panel sees on the line or
loop before the open circuit. (From the low end of the loop.) If the fault message
INSTALLATION AND SERVICING I U N U A L CHAPTER SEVEN: SERVICING
P S 1 6 SYSIEM PAGE 69

given specifies no address, (in an addressed system), but only the loop or line number,
an open circuit is detected before the first address on the line or loop. If the fault
message indicates the last address on the loop the break is detected between
that address unit and the panel.

For a loop:

Disconnect both ends of the problem loop. At one end of the loop tie the plus and
the minus wire together. Measure the resistance between the two wire ends from the
other end of the loop. This value should be very high if there is still an open circuit
on the loop. If it is high, check the connections to the address unit indicated in the
fault message and the connections to the address unit following it on the loop.

For a Line:

Disconnect the affected line and tie the positive and negative wire ends at the far end
of the line together. Measure the overall resistance of the wiring. The resistance
must no be more than 80 ohms. If the measurement indicates an open circuit, the
connections to the address unit indicated in the fault message and the one following it
should be checked.

An open circuit may be caused by an AX87IS short circuit isolator that either has the
LED fitted the wrong way around or that has not had a short circuit link installed
instead of the LED. The AX87IS must always have either a LED or a short circuit
link installed.

If the open circuit message given indicates the last detector on the loop it is possible
that the fault is caused by an unstable address unit that answers at several addresses
during the scan. This is very difficult to detect without using PBSVIEW.

When PBSVIEW is not available there is really only one way to tackle the problem
provided the address units are placed physically in sequence on the loops or lines:
For a loop system disconnect one end of all loops, then use function 33 to put the
system into Line mode. Break the problem line, let's say, in the middle. Leave the
system for a while and see if the open circuit message comes up again. Depending on
what happens you will need to either move further away from the panel or closer to it
and do the same there.

If the system operates just fine with the break in the middle you must reconnect the
broken line, and find a new place further along the line where it can be broken again.
If the fault does not go away you will have to move closer to the panel and break the
line there. This procedure is repeated until the faulty address unit has been located.

Another problem is an address unit that does not answer. Check the address unit
following the one indicated in the fault message. Some address units require EOL re-
sistors. Check that it is fitted, if required, and that it is the correct value. If all else
fails try to change the detector head, detector base or the address unit.

7.3.10 Earth Fault

Symptom:

The Earth Fault message is displayed in the PS-16 Message Display. Short circuits on
Alarm Bell Circuits or Detection Lines or Loops. Problems with the communication
loop.

Possible cause:

A connection between any part of the PBS-16 system or equipment connected to it

causing current to flow out of the system through the Earth and into the Earth Fault
Detection circuitry on the PBS-16 or US-16 motherboard.

What to do:

The part of the system with the earth fault must be found. This is done by step by
step disconnecting part of the equipment, resetting the panel, and waiting for the
Earth Fault message to come up again. When the earth fault message does not come
up, the equipment with the earth fault has been localised. The Earth Fault is then .
found by checking the circuitry of the faulty equipment.

NOTE:

In a system with more than one motherboard the following situation may occur: Two
US-16 have different power supplies connected, but the power supplies are refer-
enced against each other by connecting the panels OV DC together. This is not nor-
mally done, but may be necessary if RS-Units connected to the two panels control the
same equipment. In this case an earth fault is indicated on one of the panels if the
power is removed on the other one. The way to check that this really is the cause of
the earth fault is to disconnect the earth fault lead (yellow and green lead) from the
chassis on the panel that is not powered. The lead should be reconnected when the
power is put back on. The earth fault indication is avoided all together if the lead is
disconnected before removing the power.

7.3.11 No Response From Address Units Or Detectors

Symptom:

The addressing on the loop or line seems to be working. If for example test gas is
inserted into a detector, the detector indicates an alarm, but nothing happens in the
rest of the system. -When looking at the detector values in PBSVIEW some addresses .,

give no response.

Possible cause:

The detection loop or line is disconnected in software. There is a short circuit be-
tween OV in the panel and the negative wire of the detection loop. Missing EOL
INSTALLATION AND SERVICING MANUAL CHAETER SEVEN: SERVICING
P S 1 6 SYSTEM PACE 71

resistors in address units such as AX83D, AX87D and AX87AD. Missing detector .

heads. Address coding is wrong.

What to do:

Use function 17 to get an indication of what is disconnected. If it indicates a loop

disconnected, use function 6 to find out if the loop you are working on is discon-
nected. Also check which detectors are disconnected by using function 3. The panel
will not react to an alarm given by a disconnected detector or a detector on a discon-
nected line or loop.

A short circuit between OV in the panel and the negative wire of the detection loop
will disable all measuring of detector answers. To find out if such a short circuit exists
disconnect the detection loop or line completely and measure the resistance between
the negative loop wire and the motherboard OV terminal (For example the Battery
negative terminal). The negative terminal of the detection loops is not the same as
the negative terminal of the battery, charger or 24V DC outputs.

Check the address units that do not answer. Check that the detector head is properly
inserted. Check that the EOL resistor, if required, is inserted and of the .. correct . . . .
, . ..
value. Check that the address coding is correct.

APPENDIX A
THE DEFAULT PROGRAMME

The Default programme defines the effect of inputs on the outputs from the PBS-16 or US-
16 module. The programme is in permanent store on the Loop Card, and takes effect
when no customised Cause and Effect EPROM is fitted to the card.

A1 Fault Alarm Inputs

The effects produced by fault alarm inputs at the PS-16 Information and Control Panel are
unchanged by the presence or absence of the customised Cause and Effect programme.

There is a separate customised Text Message programme in an EPROM in the PS-16

Information and Control Panel. This determines the customised messages displayed. In its
absence, the response to fault alarm inputs remains unchanged except for the absence of
customised messages.

A.2 Fire Alarm Inputs

In the Default programme, apart from the displayed addresses, all alarm inputs produce
the same effects.

These effects are:

(a) All four sounder outputs are operated.

(b) All three control relays are operated.

(c) Output signals on the internal communications bus operate all fire alarm outputs on
all modules on the bus.

A3 Auxiliary Inputs

Auxiliary inputs 1 and 2 are disabled. Auxiliary input 3 (terminal block X4, terminals 27 ,

and 28) is enabled, and has the effect of putting the system into the Evacuate Mode when it
is operated. During Evacuate Mode all the alarm bell circuits are activated.

B.2 PBSVIEW Servicing And Commissioning Tool Version 3.0

(The following is a copy of the README file on the PBSVIEW distribution disk).

SYSTEM SETUP

This diskette contains all necessary software for testing and commissioning PBS-16 systems.
The software can be used on IBM PCs, ATs or compatibles with MS-DOS 2.1 or later
version.

Files on this disk:

PBSVIEW. BAT --- Startup batch file

VIEW.EXE --- Main program core
LCOM.EXE --- Communication handler

This software is hardware-lock protected, that is, the enclosed hardware lock marked
SIGNALCO SOFTWARE LOCK TYPE W 0 3 must be installed on the computer serial port
,i
-
COMl for this software to run.
 LUSTALLATION AND SERVICIKG MkVUAL APPELDIX B: SERVICE kW COMM1SSIOhIXG TOOLS
P S 1 6 SYSTEM PAGE 77

Connect the PBS-16 communication interface to the PBS-16 communication loop. Observe
correct polarity. The PC end of this interface connects to the computer COMl serial input
on the back of the hardware lock.

GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS.

1. Start the program by typing PBSVIEW. This loads the communication handler and
starts the main program.

2. The opening window is Messages. From this window you can go to two other win-
dows, Values and Diagnostics, depending on what information is required from the
PBS-16 system.

3. You can start a log session by pressing the L key. The program then asks you to
specify a file name to write the log to. You also have to specify the bit pattern for the
first two bytes that the PBSVIEW shall trigger on. Entering an X for any of the bits
indicates a 'don't care' for that particular bit. Specifying all X's will cause the pro-
gram to trigger on the first occurring telegram. Pressing 'L' again causes the program
to stop logging and to write the log to the specified file. The log is automatically
saved if you exit the program.

MESSAGES WINDOW

This window displays all messages transmitted on the internal communication bus. From
this window you can also push telegrams onto the communication bus, that is, simulate
telegrams sent from any unit.

The following functions are available:

values. The routines used are the same as from the VALUES window. The computer
collects all data and compares these with a set of recommended values and gives a rough
estimate of the findings. This is of value as a quick indication of the state of a system, while
for more elaborate analysis the VALUES window is recommended.

mation is more detailed than a Brief mode, and an analysis of possible
problems are given. The program pauses between each unit checked. To

Extended - Same as standard with information on low/high detector addresses on
each loop/line included.

When contacting A/S Signalco for help during commissioning and servicing, a printout of
the PBSVIEW-screen is very helpful to us when recommending actions to be taken.

THE LOG FUNCTION AND THE LOGFILE

Logging the messages that are sent on the PBS-16 system's internal communication loop .
can be a valuable tool when trying to find spurious messages and their cause. The logfile
will record when the message was sent, and it will also show the bytes transmitted. A short
description of the telegram is also included.

The standard telegram is a five byte telegram built up as follows:

Byte 1 : Address of the receiving and transmitting units.

Byte 2 : Function code.
Byte 3, Byte 4 : Data.
Byte 5 : Checksum.

Another type of telegram is the string telegram. The string telegram does not have a fixed
length and takes the following form:

Byte 1 : Address of the receiving and transmitting units.

Byte 2 : Function code.
Byte 3, Byte 4 : Data.
Byte 5 : Number of bytes to follow.
Bytes 6 to last
byte but one : Data.
Last byte : Checksum.

When the log function is activated, a filename must be specified for the logfile. The file-
1 name may include drive specification and a path as well as the actual filename. The
2'
 INSTALLATIONAND
SERVICING MANUAL APPE~BIXB: SERVICE AND COMMISSIONINGTOOLS
P S 1 6 SYSIEM PAGE 81

logfile's extension is always LOG. The drive specification, path and filename must not
exceed 24 characters.

Using a filter when logging:

The filter specified gives the program the condition for starting the log. The two bytes
specified by the filter must match the first two bytes of the transmitted telegram for the
program to trigger. If, for example, we wanted to start logging only after having received a
fire message from address number two then the two bytes must be specified as follows:

Byte 1 : 0000 0010 - The first four bits specify the to address, and the last
four bits the from address.
Byte 2 : 00001010 - This is the function code for fire expressed in binary.
The code for fire is 10 decimal.

Any bit in the two bytes may be specified as don't care by entering an x instead of 0 or 1. If
byte 1 above had been specified as 'XXXXXXXX' then the program would have triggered
on any telegram where byte 2 was 10.

If no filter is specified, (byte 1 and byte 2 specified as XXXXXXXX), then the program
will trigger on the first telegram it sees.

After the program has triggered it will log every telegram that occurs. But it will not log
Loop Card check telegrams, Loop Card reply telegrams and front card acknowledge tele-
grams if the filter is left on. It is recommended that a filter is used since the logfile would
get extremely large if the log was left on for a long time.
-
Often we don't know what trigger to specify, but at the same time we don't want to log all
the Loop Card check related telegrams. In this case the following procedure may be fol-
lowed:

1. Specify a dummy filter. This could be anything.

2. As soon as the message Waiting for trigger is displayed, the filter is turned off
by pressing '.' (full stop). Now wait for the program to trigger. It will trigger on
the first telegram it sees. Normally this would be a Loop Card check telegram.

3. Turn the filter back on to prevent the program from logging any subsequent
Loop Card check related telegrams. The program will continue to log even
though a telegram matching the specified trigger never was found.

Things to remember:

All parts of the PBSVIEW program may be used while logging, however, one must remem-
ber that all messages sent from PBSVIEW are logged. This means that one for example
would get a huge file filled with PBSVIEW requests and Loop Card answers if the auto
mode is on while detector values are being checked.

Known bug in PBSVIEW version 3.0:

If telegrams are constantly being sent on the communication loop the PBSVIEW program
may 'crash' if one attempts to select the log function. The reason for this seems to be that
the input communication buffer overflows while the program halts to read log parameters .-
such as logfile name and trigger bytes. This situation should not arise under normal
circumstances, but only happens if a new telegram is constantly being sent only millisec-
onds after the previous sending has ended.

P S 1 6 SYSTEM PAGE 83

APPENDIX C
DIP-SWITCH SETTINGS

On each PBS-16 and US-16 module, there is a DIP-Switch, whose setting determines the
address of the module, and the addresses of lines and loops associated with it. The DIP-
Switch is binary-coded, and the code for each module is given in the customised documen-
tation. It is possible for PBS-16 and US-16 modules to have addresses on the communica-
tion loop between 1 and 15. Note that no 'holes' are allowed in the address range on the
communication loop, and that the addressing of PBS-16s or US-16s connected to the loop
must start with address no. 1.

.,
Also RU-16s or other units with their own Loop Card have their own address on the com-
munication loop, but these units have no DIP switch for setting the address. Instead the
address is programmed into the Cause and Effect programme included on the Loop Card.
The general rule for assigning addresses on the communication loop is that PBS-16s and
US-16s are always given addresses from 1 up to the total number of such units in the sys-
tem. Other units with Loop Cards, such as the RU-161, are then numbered starting with
the first available address and numbered sequentially up to the total number of Loop Cards
in the system. No 'holes' in the address range on the communication loop are allowed, and
the total number of Loop Cards in the system must never be greater than 15.

Also each address unit has a DIP-switch which determines which address the address unit is
given on the detection line or detection loop it is connected to. Address units may be given
addresses between 1 and 96, but remember that no 'holes' are allowed in the address range
on any one loop or line. It is, however, allowed to start addressing at, say, address no. 12,
provided the addressing is sequential from this number up to the highest address on the
line or loop leaving no 'holes' or 'gaps'.

DIP-switch coding and its significance is given in Table C.1. Codes are to be set for each
module in accordance with the table and the customer documentation.

When setting the address, the DIP-switch location corresponding to the bit number should
be set as specified in the table. One (1) signifies that the switch position should be set to
On, while Zero (0) means that it should be Off. The switch position number corresponds
to the bit number in the binary digit.

Example: Set address 25.

The binary code for 25 is:

> DIP-switch positions 1 , 4 and 5 should be set to On (1) and the rest should be set to Off (0).

APPENDIX D

TESTING MODULES IN ISOLATION

The only module that can be fully checked in isolation is the PBS-16 module. The reason
for this is that it is only this module that have a man/machine interface (PS-16 Control and
Information Panel). The PBSVIEW test and commissioning tool may only be used if the
internal Communication Bus is operational. This Comms Bus is a current loop, and the
current originates from the PS-16 panel. It is therefore not possible to connect PBSVIEW
to a module that is not in some way linked to a PS-16 Control and Information panel.

Testing in isolation of other modules is therefore mostly a series of visual checks.

D.1 The PBS-16 Module

The PBS-16 module can be fully tested in isolation. The US-16 motherboard the PS-16 is
connected to will normally have its DIP-switch set to address 1. This may not be the case if
there is more than one PBS-16 module in the system, or if a different numbering conven-
tion have been used. To proceed with the test the US-16 motherboard DIP-switch marked
S1 must be set to address 1. How to do this is explained in Appendix C.

The module is now tested as explained in chapter 6, sections 6.1 up to 6.9.2 inclusive. A
complete test of the module have now been carried out. If the modules address on the
Comms Bus is different to 1 must the S1 DIP-switch be correctly set before the module is
connected to the rest of the system.

Note that the ST2 and ST3 bridging links, (see fig. 6.2), on the US-16 motherboard should
only be cut if the module is the main PBS-16 module in the system. If there is only one
PBS-16 module should the links be cut on that unit.

D.2 The US-16 Module

Also the US-16 module may be fully tested in isolation if a PS-16 Control and Information
panel is temporarily connected to it. The module then,effectivelybecomes a PBS-16 mod- , ..
ule and testing is as explained for that module. Note that the bridging links ST2 and ST3
never should be cut on a US-16 module.

If a PS-16 panel is not available is only a series of visual inspections possible before con-
nection to the Internal Communication Bus.

a. Check that all wiring for the charger and battery connection is correct. If the module
is not used to monitor the battery or charger should this monitoring have been dis-
abled. This is done by removing two PTC resistors and connecting a short circuit
between X1/4 (Mains Con.) and X2/1 (Battery +). The two PTC resistors are
 WALLATION AYD ~ERVICIXG
MANUAL APPEXDIX D: TESTING ,MODULES I N ISOLATION
P S 1 6 SY!XEIM PAGE 86

marked R52 and R71 and are located directly below the relays on the US-16 mother-
board.

Check that the Loop Card is present and is correctly plugged into the P3 edge con-
nector. The card must be pushed all the way down unto the connector. Also check
that the Loop Card has the correct type of software plugged in. See Appendix H for
microprocessor markings and Operator's Manual Part 2 for Cause and Effect
EPROM markings.

Check that the S1 switch is set to the correct address. See Appendix C.

Check all detector lines or loops for short circuits and open circuits. Make sure all
wires are correctly terminated.

Check the alarm bell circuits for short circuits and open circuits. Check that the EOL
resistor (10 kohm) is correctly connected and of the correct value. Check that the
sounder devices are polarised and connected the correct way around.

Check all circuits connected to the Control Relays and the Fault Relay.

Check that the circuitry connected to the Voltage Failure terminals operate.

Check that the Auxiliary Inputs are correctly connected.

Check that the equipment powered from the three 24V DC outputs are not short
circuit.

If an RS-unit is connected check that it is correctly connected. See figures 5.3'5.4 and
5.5. Also check that all circuits connected to this unit is correctly wired and have no
short circuits.

Check all fuses.

1. All faults revealed during the checks specified in points (a) to (k) must be put right.
The module should now be connected to the Communication Bus. The module is
powered up as explained in sections 6.3 and 6.4 and commissioning continues as
explained in section 6.10.3.

D.3 RU-16, RU-161, IF-16 With Loop Card (Relay Units)

These modules may only be visually inspected before they are connected to the Communi-
cation Bus and powered up.

a. Check that the 24V DC connections are correct.

b. Check all fuses.

1 c. Check the wiring of all connected circuits. This is particular important for the IF-16
1'
 lNSTALLATION AND SERVICING M W A L APPENDIX D: TESTING MODULES IN ISOLATIOK

with loop card since no protection is provided for its inputs or outputs.

d. Check that all wires are terminated correctly at the correct terminal.
e. Check that RS-units are correctly connected and that all circuits connected to them
have no short circuits or other wiring faults.

f. Check that the Loop Card is pushed all the way onto the edge connector. Check that
the Loop Card is fitted with the correct microprocessor and Cause and Effect
EPROM. An EPROM must always be included on the Loop Card controlling Relay
Units. Microprocessor markings are explained in Appendix H, while C&E EPROM
markings are explained in Operator's Manual Part 2.

g. Correct all faults found during points (a) to (f). Connect the module to the Commu-
nication Bus and carry on the commissioning procedure as explained in section 6.10.4.

D.4 RS-16, RS-32,RS-56 Relay Slave Units

These units are inspected during the inspection of the modules they are connected to. See
D.2 and D.3.

D.5 SRP-16 Repeater Panel

A visual check should include the following points:

a. Check that it is correctly configured. Appendix L explains how to do this. Operator's

Manual Part 2 should give details of how the SRP-16 should be configured.

b. Check Operator's Manual Part 2 to find out if a Text EPROM should be fitted at the
back of the SRP-16's PCB. Check that EPROM is fitted correctly and that the mark-
ing matches the marking specified in Operator's Manual Part 2.

c. Check that the 24V DC supply is correctly connected.

d. Connect the Communication Bus and check that the correct messages are displayed
when faults or fires are simulated.

e. Check that- the module operates as configured. Check Silence and Reset. Check
Operator's Manual Part 2 to find out if any Cause and Effect for the SRP-16's relays
is included, and test this for correct response if it is.

APPENDIX E

SETTING UP THE COM-16 COMMUNICATION CARD

The COM-16 Communication Card may only be used in a US-16 that has a PS-16 front
connected. The combination of a PS-16 and a US-16 is usually referred to as a PBS-16.

The Communication Card is controlled by the PS-16 card through the 40-way ribbon cable
used to connect the PS-16 to the US-16 motherboard. The COM-16 card is placed in the
slot provided on the motherboard.

CAUTION!

IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT POWER IS COMPLETELY REMOVED

BEFORE INSERTING THE COMMUNICATION CARD OR
BEFORE REMOVING IT. FAILURE TO DO THIS USUALLY
LEADS TO DAMAGE OF THE COiM-16 CARD.

The Communication Card has two communication ports. Port 1 is a RS-232C port and is
usually used for printer connection. Port 1is the connector marked P3, and it is the left-
most connector. The DIP switch marked S1 is used to select the communication speed (ie.
the Baud rate) for this port. This switch is located to the far right on the card. Baud rates
available are 300,600,1200,2400,4800 and 9600. Normally the 9600 baud rate is used
when a printer is connected. Note that only one of the switches in S1 may be set to ON at
the same time. A good way to remember which switch belongs to which port is to remem-
ber that the rightmost switch belongs to the leftmost port.

Port 2 is normally used for communication with other PBS-16 systems or a computer. Port
2 is the connector marked P2. Three different configurations may be selected for this port.
This is done with DIP switch S3. Only one of the switches in S3 may be set to On at any
one time. The marking on the card indicates how to select between the following configu-
rations:
RS-232C
20mA current loop
RS485

NOTE that RS-232C is also the normal configuration for Port 2, and that the PS-16 soft-
ware determines which configurations may be used in your system See Operator's Manual
Part 2.

i
The Baud rate for Port 2 is selected by using DIP switch S2. The normal speed for commu-
.J nication with a computer using the PBSVIEW diagnostic software is 2400. Note that only
one of the switches in S2 may be set to ON at any one time.

PRINTER CONNECTIONS

For a printer to be used with the system, there must be a COM-16 Card fitted in socket P2
on the Loop Card on the master PBS-16 module.

CAUTION!

POWER SUPPLIES (INCLUDING THE BATTERY SUPPLY)

MUST BE DISCONNECTED BEFORE A COM-16 CARD IS EITHER
PLUGGED IN OR REMOVED.

Standard printers, such as the Epson LX800 may be used.

The following parameters must be set at the printer:

Speed 9600 baud

Parity none
Databits 8
Stopbits 1
Language local

The printer connecting cable should be as follows:

For some languages the Message Display on the PS-16 card and on the SRP-16 are able to
. . display special characters unique to that language. For these languages some care must be
taken to make sure that the printer you connect can be set up to print these special charac-
ters without using special software escape codes. Normally this is no problem unless the
special characters have ASCII codes greater than 127. If the special characters for the
language you want to use have ASCII codes greater than 127 the printer you want to con-
nect must be set up to support these characters. The selection of the correct character set
must be done on the printer either in hardware or from a special printer menu. The PBS-
16 supports no escape codes, and will therefore only support the printers where the correct
character set may be selected without using such codes. Please refer to your printer's user
manual or ask your printer dealer for further advice.

MICROPROCESSOR AND EPROM MARKINGS

H.l Microprocessor Markings

A typical marking of a microprocessor for the Loop Card is:

PBS16SA
AD Ver. 3.0

The first line refers to what type of card the processor belongs to. PBS16SA is the official
name of the Loop Card. This line does not specify where this Loop Card is used.

The second line specifies exactly what type of software has been burnt into the processor's
internal EPROM. This line consists of a few letters indicating the program type and a . ..
version identifier.

The letters starting the second line may be:

AD Analogue sensors in a loop configuration.

AE Analogue sensors in a line configuration.

DD Digital (or conventional addressed) detectors in a loop configuration.

DE Digital (or conventional addressed) detectors in a line configuration.

KD Conventional detectors in a loop configuration.

KE Conventional detectors in a line configuration.

RU16 Processor intended to be used on a Loop Card placed in a RU-16. Later ver-
sions of this software (Version 3.0 or later) are also compatible with the
RU-161. This chip may also be used on a Loop Card on the IF-16 interface card
to make a mimic driver.

RU16I Identical to same version of the RU16 software. Very few chips with this mark-
ing have been made, and in the future, probably only the RU16 marking will be
used, since they are identical.

The version number indicated on the marking label is the same as the version number one
gets by using function 26 from the PS-16 Control Panel.

H 2 EPROM Markings

This section only applies to EPROMs contained in the core software for the PS-16 Control
Panel (that is, the PBS-16 front card).

A typical marking is:

PBS16FA
ADEN Ver. 3.11

As for the Loop Card processors, the first line only indicates what type of card the EPROM
is made to work with. PBS16FA is equivalent to the PS-16 card, or the PBS-16 front card
as it is sometimes known.

The second line consists of four letter indicating loop or line type, line or loop configura-
tion, and language used for the text display. The rest of the line is for version number
identification.

The two first letters have the same meaning as the letters on the second line of the marking
of the Loop Card processors. (Only those intended to be used with a Loop Card placed in
a US-16 module). The last two letters indicate the language.

For the first letter:

A Means analogue type of sensors in the system

D Means digital (or conventional addressed) type of detectors in the system.

The second letter:

E Means line configuration.

D Means loop configuration.

The last two letters:

Dutch text (for Belgium)

Danish text
English text
French text
Italian text
Icelandic text
Norwegian text
Spanish text
Swedish text

The version number indicated on the marking label is the same as the version number one
gets by using function 26 from the PS-16 Control Panel. A PS-16 panel always has address
0 (zero), even if there is more than one control panel in the system.

P S 1 6 SY!nEM PAGE 9.1

APPENDIX I

LOOP AND LINE NUMBERS

The quiescent current on a loop may be read by using function 19 on the front panel.
When there is more than one module in the system, the loops or lines are numbered ac-
cording to the address on the communication bus given to the unit they are connected to.
Table L1 shows which loop or line numbers corresponds to the different addresses on the
communication bus.

Function 19 may also be used to read the value on one of the RU-161 analogue inputs. But
when this is done the following points must be remembered:

1. In a line system the RU-161 analogue input gets the same number as the correspond-
ing line would have had if the RU-161 had been a US-16. So if the RU-161 has ad-
dress 5 on the communication bus inputs 1to 16 are referred to as lines 65 to 80 when
using function 19.

2. In a loop system function 19 cannot be used in the same way. The reason for this is
that function 19 only returns the value read on the low end of a loop. This means that
only the first eight of the RU-16I's inputs can be checked from the keyboard. The
other eight inputs (analogue inputs 9-16) can be checked by using PBSVIEW. The
easiest way to do this is to press F3 while in Diagnostic Mode. This automatically
puts up all loop currents read from both ends of the loop for every module connected.

The loop or line number may also be calculated by considering the module address, system
configuration, and the detection input number the line or loop is connected to. The equa-
tions below show how this is done:

For a loop configuration:

Loop Number = ((US-16 address - l ) X 8) + Detection input number

Note that it is the lower detection input number that is used for each loop. For example
the low end of loop one is connected to detection input no 1, while the high end of the
same loop is connected to detection input no 9. The detection input number 1 is used to
calculate the loop number.

For a line configuration:

Line number = ((US-16 address - l ) X 16) + Detection input number

APPENDIX J

IF-l6 CONNECTIONS

The IF-16 Interface Card has a edge connector which is used for either plugging in a Loop
Card or a RS-56 Output Driver Card. Two rows of connection terminal blocks enable
wires to be connected to the plugged-in card's various input and output lines. The card has
a 5V regulator which is enabled when the straps located directly above connection terminal
block X1 is fitted.

It is absolutely essential that one look directly down on the card when a wire is connected
to the card. It is very easy to connect a wire to the neighbouring terminal if one is at an
angle to the card while the wire is being inserted into the terminal block.

J.l Using The IF-16 With A Loop Card

The IF-16 on-board 5V regulator must be enabled. This is done by fitting the straps lo-
cated directly above connection terminal block XI.

When the Loop Card is used together with the IF-16 a wide range of the Loop Cards input
and output possibilities are available.

The following outputs are available:

16 Switchable 24VDC outputs.

4 Sets of connection terminals for RS-Units.
1 External buzzer output.

The following inputs are available:

16 Analogue inputs.
3 Digital inputs.

The Loop Card must carry the same Core Software as the Loop Cards used in a RU-16 or
a RU-161. The 16 analogue inputs, the 16 24VDC outputs and the connection terminals for
RS-Units are, apart from lack of protection and missing relays, identical to the correspond-
ing inputs and outputs on the RU-161. The three digital inputs are, apart from missing
protection, the same as the auxiliary inputs on the US-16. In Cause and Effect the inputs
and outputs provided are used in exactly the same way as the corresponding inputs and
outputs on the RU-161 and the US-16.
INSTALLATION A h D SERVICING MANUAL APPEVDIX J: IF-16 CONNECTIONS
P S 1 6 SYSTEM PAGE 97

WARNING!

NO PROTECTION IS PROVIDED ON THE

5V INPUTS OR OUTPUTS. BURNOUT WILL
OCCUR IF MAXIMUM RATINGS ARE EXCEEDED.

The inputs and outputs have no protection against overloading, over-voltage or noise. If
this is required must this be fitted externally or other modules must be used. It is abso-
lutely essential that input and output currents are kept within the specified limits.

Note that the 24VDC input may be connected to terminals X112 and X113 or X212 and
X2/3. The 24VDC connection terminals not used for 24VDC feed becomes a spare set of
connection terminals for 24VDC output. So if the 24VDC feed is connected to the termi-
nals in block X1 can the 24VDC feed to other equipment be taken from the terminals in
block X . .

Figure J.l shows the function of each of the connections terminals on the IF-16 when used
with a Loop Card.

Outputs 1 to 16 can drive relays or LEDs, but the maximum current drive per output is 100
mA.

Inputs 1 to 16 can take voltage between OV and 5V. The input impedance is 100 ohms. A
series resistor should be fitted to limit the possible input current to maximum 50 mA.

The clock and data outputs are common for all RS-Units connected, but a separate enable
line is provided for each RS-Unit. The RS-Enable line used determines the output num-
bers associated with the various RS-Units.

5.2 Using The IF-16 With An RS-56

The IF-16 on-board 5V regulator must be disabled. It is disabled if the straps located
directly above terminal connection block X1 are cut or not fitted at all.

The RS-56 used together with the IF-16 provides 56 24VDC switchable outputs. These
outputs are suitable for driving LEDs or relays. The RS-56 is controlled by the Loop Card
it is connected to, and the Cause and Effect fitted on that card determines which outputs
are operated upon certain events in the system.

Note that the maximum current.allowed drawn from a single output is 100 mA. The maxi-
mum total load (all 56 outputs) allowed is 2A.

NOTE: Outputs 1 to 16 can drive relays or LEDs. The maximum drive current is lOOm.4 per output.

The Clock and Data outputs are common for all RS-units connected. A seperate Enable output is provided for
each connected RS-unit and sets the range of relay numbers associated with each individual card.

Inputs 1 to 16 can handle maximum +5V DC. The input impedance is 100 ohms.

CONNECTING RS-16, RS-32 AND RS-56

TO RELAY UNITS

The following units may all have up to four RS-Units connected to them:

RU-16
RU- 161
Loop Card Placed On IF-16 Card. (See fig. J.1)

Through the rest of this appendix I will refer to all these units as Relay Units.

K.l Output Numbers With RS-Units Of The Same Type Connected

In Cause and Effect certain parameters are set to signal certain things to the microproces-
sor. Parameter 11 (P[11]) is used to inform the microprocessor if the loop card is control-
ling RS-16s or RS-56s. This parameter must always be set if the Relay Unit has a RS-32 or
a RS-56 connected.

In the tables below the output numbers listed is the relay number used in Cause and Effect
programming.

Table K.1 lists the outputs available when only RS-16s are connected to the Relay Unit.

Table K.2 lists the outputs available when only RS-32s are connected to the Relay Unit.
-
Note that gaps are left in the output number range when RS-32s are connected. The rea-
' . son for this is that the Relay Unit does not know what type of relay units it has connected.
All it knows is that it is,not RS-16s that it has connected. It therefore assumes that each
RS-Unit connected is a RS-56. This means that it will shift out 56 bits of data for every RS-
Unit. The RS-32 only needs 32 bits of data and loses the 24 first bits shifted out. So output
one on the RS-32 becomes what would have been output 25 if a RS-56 had been con-
nected.

Table K.3 lists the outputs available when only RS-56s are connected to the Relay Unit.

K 2 Output Numbers With RS-Units Of Different Types Connected

Normally all RS-Units connected to the same Relay Unit is of the same type, but with some
care planning it is possible to connect different types of RS-Units to the same RU-16.

It is while making the Cause and Effect programme that this care must be taken. The
reason for this is that the Loop Card can, in Cause and Effect, be told that wether it has
RS-16s or RS-56s connected. If different types of RS-Units are to be mixed the Loop Card
must be told that it has RS-56s connected. This is done by setting parameter 11(P[11])in
INSTALLATION AND SERVICISG 5L4NUAL APPESDIX K COSNECTISG RS-16,S 3 2 ASD S 5 6 TO RELAY USlTS
PBS-16 SYSTE.? PAGE 102

Cause and Effect.

The effect of connecting different types of RS-Units to the same Relay Unit is similar to
what happens when only RS-32s are connected to it. This is explained in section K.1.
What happens is that the output numbers available will vary depending on what type of RS-
Units are connected and on which RS-Enable line it is connected to.

The Relay Unit assumes it has up to four RS-56s connected to it. The RS-56s outputs
would, in Cause and Effect, be numbered from 17 to 240. The output numbers for each
connected RS-Unit is shown in Table K.3.

An RS-56 connected will always occupy the output numbers specified in table K.3 for that
particular RS-Unit. The last available output on the RS-Unit connected will always have
the same output number as an RS-56 connected to the same RS-Enable line would have
had. If the RS-Unit is connected to RS-Enable line no. 3 will the last output on that RS-
Unit have the output number 184. (See Table K.3).

The output number for the first output on the RS-Unit is found by simply taking the nurn-
ber already found, add one, and then subtract the number of outputs on the RS-Unit con-
nected. If the first number we found was 184 and we have connected an RS-16 to RS-
Enable line no. 3 then the first output number is:

Table K.4 shows the output numbers we would have got if we had had the following RS-
Units connected to a Relay Unit:
