OmniCarePLUS Multi-Exchange EVC
Installation Instructions
OmniCarePLUS issue 1 1
1Technical Description
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The OmniCarePLUS Multi-Exchange EVC comprises a network
of BS5839-9 compliant “local” systems, each “local” system can
control upto 64 outstations, and can be operated as a standalone
EVC system.
With the addition of the OmniCarePLUS network enabling the
installation of much larger systems, upto 126 Local Control
points (each controlling upto 64 outstations) can be networked
together making it possible to connect upto a maximum of 8064
outstations.
The benefit of OmniCarePLUS is the ability to communicate with
any outstation on any part of the network from a single “point”.
This sitewide control is via graphical touch screen(s) called
Network Control Stations (NCS).
The network can be either copper or fibre (either multimode or
single mode) but must be Fire Rated, Enhanced cable configured
as a loop. All site cables and connections, including internal
interfaces, chargers & batteries are fully monitored for faults.
Each local control point is supplied with a separate battery box.

2Overview of System
Design Requirements
2.1 OMNICARE DESIGN REQUIREMENTS
Please refer to the OmniCare Installation Manual for the design
requirements of each Local OmniCare system.
2.2 OMNICARE PLUS DESIGN
REQUIREMENTS
The OmniCare Plus Network system design must include each
local OmniCare Control Panel, each Network Control Station
and any EVC Network Hubs that may be required.
The network cable requirements for the OmniCare Plus network
are detailed in the BVRDNET Installation Manual. This includes
the type of cables required, the maximum distance between nodes
on the network and basic fault finding.

2.3 RECOMMENDATIONS FOR "MASTER
STATION" LOCATION
To meet the requirements of BS5839-9 each local control panel is
considered a Master Station and as such their locations are defined
within BS5839-9.
NOTE: For full details please refer to BS5839-9.
For the purposes of BS5839-9 compliance, the Network Control
Stations are not defined as master stations.
Battery backup is supplied for each EVC Network Hub and is
sufficient to ensure the network remains operational in the case of
a local power failure. This meets the requirements of BS5839-9.
The Network Control Stations are outside of the scope of
BS5839-9, therefore consideration should be made to provide a
suitable alternative power source in the event of a local power
failure.
