Introduction

• The TS0820/TS0823 Data Gathering Panels are used to expand the Challenger Panel by providing
8 inputs, and up to 16 relay outputs. (The DGP can provide up to 32 inputs with TS0021 8 I/P
expansion modules).

• Up to 8 relay outputs are available if 4 Way Relay modules are fitted. (TS0840)

• Up to 16 relay outputs are available via 8 Way clocked relay cards. (TS0841)

• Relay modules may be mounted on standoffs provided in the DGP, depending on the number of
input expanders fitted. 4 Way & 8 Way relay cards cannot be used together on the same DGP.

• The DGP can be installed up to 1.5km from the Challenger to provide remote alarm inputs &
outputs.

Input Numbering

A standard 8 I/P DGP can have 8 inputs connected to it. This can be expanded in increments of 8 up to
32, using the TS0021 8 I/P expanders. (A DGP can have 8, 16, 24 or 32 inputs.)

There are 16 inputs allocated to every DGP address. If a DGP has 24 or 32 inputs (2 or 3 expanders fitted)
the additional system input numbers are taken from the following DGP address. If this is done, the next
DGP address ceases to exist and is not included to be polled.

Example: DGP 1 has 24 inputs (Inputs 17 to 40). The next DGP in the system must now be addressed
and polled as DGP 3, because inputs 33 to 40 on DGP 1 have been taken from DGP 2. The unused input
numbers in the system (Inputs 41 to 48) must be programmed in the Input Database as Type 0. (See Table
1 below.)

Relay Numbering

A DGP can have a maximum of 16 relays, regardless of the number of inputs on the DGP. The relay
numbers are the same as the 16 input numbers allocated to the DGP address. For example, DGP 1 has 32
inputs: 17-48, DGP 1 relays (max 16) : 17-32, DGP 3 has 32 inputs: 49-80 DGP 3 relays: 49-64.

Protective Earthing System

(The following recommendations are based upon Australian wiring regulations ACA AS/ACIF S009 Section 5 and AS3000:2000 Section 5.)

• Challenger system equipment with earth terminals must be earthed (via a CET) by either connect-
ing to the protective earthing system earth bar in the main or sub-electrical switchboard or, con-
necting directly to the main building earth conductor. All Challenger earth wiring must be Green/
Yellow at least 2.5mm2 or greater, to comply with Australian wiring regulations (see wiring diagram
on page 4).
• The DGP "GND" link must remain fitted.
• Do not connect the plug pack earth to the DGP earth terminal. (J1)
• This method of protective earthing is the only way to minimise earth potentials between any two
Challenger products by using a common building earth system.

Tips: • Do not install multiple earth stakes in the same building. (Electrical installation.)
• Install Challenger LAN isolation devices between multiple buildings.

LAN Connection

• The RS485 LAN is used to connect Data Gathering Panels (to provide extra inputs) and Arming
Stations to the Challenger panel.

• Data Gathering Panels (DGPs) must be connected via a 2 pair twisted shielded data cable from the
LAN connection. (Belden 8723 is recommended).

• The shield of any data cable connected to the Data Gathering Panel (DGP) should be connected
to earth at one end only. (See wiring diagrams on page 4.)

LED Diagnostics

Rx: Rx LED flashing indicates polling data being received on the LAN from the Challenger Panel.
No flashing Rx LED indicates LAN fault (usually cabling) or Challenger Panel not operational.

Tx: Tx LED flashing indicates DGP is replying to the Challenger Panel poll.
No Tx LED flashing and Rx LED flashing indicates DGP isn't programmed to be polled or is
incorrectly addressed.

CAUTION ! AC Plug Packs

State Energy Authorities require that the AC Plug pack

supplied with this DGP, has an internal fuse to prevent
overheating and fires caused by overload and short circuits.

Standards Australia stresses that the need for fire preven-

tion in electrical products cannot be overstated, hence the
need for these design requirements.

When installing plug packs, do not power the unit until you
have terminated the leads and checked that you do not have
a short circuit. Fused plug packs cannot be replaced
under warranty as the fuse operation can only be caused by
a direct short circuit.

Links:

Term: The termination jumper link must be fitted the DGP is the first or last device on the
LAN. If the system LAN is wired in a "star" configuration, the TERM link is fitted
only to the devices at the end of the two longest LAN cable runs, that is, in a Challenger
system only two devices connected to the LAN can have the TERM link fitted.
Gnd: Must remain fitted for ground terminal connection to earth lug.

Test: 1, 2 These links are not used. 3 Disable Mains Fail monitoring.
