Essential Extra is a wireless dual path alarm signalling unit for transmitting alarm
signals from a customer’s alarm panel, via the BT Redcare network, to an Alarm
Receiving Centre (ARC) using pass-through mode of operation. Essential Extra units
have dual modems with 4G/2G mobile technology in each path. The units are designed
for use in both Security and Fire systems.
The unit communicates via the BT Redcare network and a valid TA (Terminal adapter)
account must exist for the unit to communicate. The TA account will have been
populated with the serial number of the unit. Once connected to the platform the unit
uses a poll and response check to determine path status. When the primary path fails
the secondary path will take up the polling and reporting parameters of the primary
path. Individual path fails are transmitted over the remaining path. Dual path failure is
platform generated.
The unit has 16 general purpose alarm inputs, and 3 outputs, making it suitable for
connection to most common alarm panels.
The unit is supplied already fitted with two BT Redcare enabled SIM cards, one an EE
UK fixed SIM and a UK Roaming SIM. Both enabled for 4G/2G connectivity.
Primary path fail reporting 30 mins
Secondary path fail reporting 5 hours
Both paths fail concurrent 60 mins
Catastrophic failure (both paths together) 31 mins

Removal of cover
The top cover can be removed by gently releasing each of the 4 clips on the base of
the unit by pushing the clips outward with a screwdriver blade.
Regular access to the inside of the unit should not be required, although occasional
access may be required to access the SIM cards.
Mounting
The unit should be mounted inside a suitable robust enclosure, using the sticky mounting
pads supplied.
For security installations the enclosure must meet or exceed the protection requirements
of the particular security grade for the whole installation as per EN 50131-1
For fire alarms it is recommended the signalling unit is mounted within an enclosure
separate from the fire alarm panel or fire alarm power supply.
Caution: mounting the signalling unit within fire alarm panel or fire alarm power supply
enclosure might invalidate their compliance with EMC regulatory requirements.
The separate enclosure must meet the requirements of EN 54-2 and EN 54-21 associated
with access restriction to installer level 3, ingress protection to IP30 or above and power
supply integrity. The transmission of fire alarm signals and the state of the fault and
acknowledge outputs on the signalling unit shall be displayed at the separate enclosure or
at the fire alarm panel.
If the fire panel and the separate enclosure are some distance apart (i.e. not within line of
sight) then the indications should be at the panel
For optimum performance the supplied aerials should be mounted vertically outside of
and away from the housing by removing the adhesive backing. Ideally the aerials should
be at least 30cm apart and not mounted on a metal surface. The aerials should be installed
a distance of 20cm or greater away from any user or bystander.

Connection terminals
The screw terminals for the alarm inputs are suitable for use with a standard 3mm
blade terminal screwdriver.
Power connections
Power to the unit is via 2 screw terminals at the centre, with positive to the right nearest Pin 9.
The supply voltage range is 9V to 30V. The unit is designed to be connected to the auxiliary
power output on an associated alarm panel, or separate powered enclosure. For use with
intruder alarm panels the power supply must meet the requirements of EN 50131-6.
For use with Fire alarm panels the signalling unit must be powered from a supply meeting
the requirements of EN 54-4. Ensure the power source is sufficient to power all devices
connected. See the power requirements in the specification section for more information.
The account at the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) should be put ‘on test’ before power up,
as signals will be sent following initialisation.
Alarm inputs
The unit has 16 alarm inputs which are presented on screw terminals along the bottom
of the unit. These are labelled as Pin 1–8 and 9–16.
By default the 16 alarm inputs require a positive condition to be presented to send an
alarm. (Default = Positive applied). This can be changed using the Pin Learn button or
through the configuration menu. See later section on Configuration.

Outputs
Three relay outputs are provided on screw terminals at the top of the unit.
Output 1 is COMMS, Output 2 is FUNC, and Output 3 is FIRE.
For fire alarm installations the indication of ‘acknowledgement of fire alarm’ and
‘SPT fault’ messages must be provided by the fire panel into which the SPT is
mounted. System fault indications which are notified by the line fault output
(Output 1) must be latched by the fire panel as required by EN 54-21.
See the further sections on outputs for a full explanation.
Serial data connections
The serial data connection labelled TX, RX, B and A is configurable for RS485 or RS232
connection depending on the panel.
This is done in the configuration menu.
These ports allow serial alarm panel connection. See Panel Upload Download section.
Dial Capture
The Dial Capture (DIAL CAP) terminals enable interfacing with an alarm panel’s digital
communicator. The alarm panel can then send SIA, CID or Fast Format messages through
the unit to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
Dial Capture can also be used for upload download UDL allowing remote access with
some types of alarm panel.

Pin inputs
Of the 16 alarm pin inputs, all behave as general purposes inputs with the following exceptions.
• Pin 1 must be used for Fire alarm when ACK NAK
outputs are used for Fire panels. The signalling
unit, when configured, provides an acknowledge
and not acknowledged indication via use of
outputs 2 (FUNC) and 3 (FIRE).
• Pin 4 can have an RPS output or a Keyswitch
associated with it. (See output 2 RPS or
Keyswitch (N/A for Fire config)).
• Pin 11 acts as an ATS input as per the
requirements of the BSIA form 175 document.
This applies only when output 1 is set to BSIA
mode. N/A when configured for Fire.
• Pin 13 acts as an AC fail input and therefore has
a default 7 minute delay before a Pin 13 alarm is
transmitted. It also has a 7 minute delay before
a reset is sent. On presenting an alarm condition
to Pin 13, the unit’s display will show the alarm
immediately but 7 minutes of constant alarm
condition needs to elapse before transmission.
Similarly, restoring Pin 13 will immediately
remove Pin 13 from the display, but 7 minutes
of constant restore condition needs to elapse
before transmission of Pin 13 restore.
• The 7 minute time delay can be configured
through the web portal or app by typing a new
value up to 99 (mins) in the “Mains Fail delay”
field. If the “Mains Fail delay” is set to 0, then Pin
13 can be used as a general purpose alarm input.
(Subject to ARC acceptance).
• Pins 1 – 16 can be set up for End of Line and Dual
End of Line interconnection monitoring see
descriptions on end of line monitoring.
Default outputs
Output 1 (COMMS)
Output 1 acts as the Communications fail output.
The mode of operation can be selected through the
configuration menu. (See Configuration section)
1. BSIA form 175 output
This allows the alarm panel to interrogate path
faults as single path or dual path. By default the
relay output will switch, following either path
fail, once the relevant timer has expired.
If ATS input (Pin 11) is toggled during the fail
period (i.e. panel interrogation) then Output 1
will either switch back to indicate a single path
failure, or remain operated to indicate a dual
path failure.
The unit also supports inverted mode
BSIA175 operation by learning Pin 11 to
be positive removed.
2. Single path fault
Will operate when either path is in fault.
3. Dual path fault
The relay will operate when both Mobile paths
are in fault.
4. Mobile 1 Path fault
To be used in conjunction with Output 2
for Mobile 2 Path fault.
Condition Relay

Output 2 (FUNC)
Output 2 has a number of configuration options:
1. Dual path fault:
Will operate when both paths are in fault.
2. User control output:
This can be switched on and off from the web
portal or the app.
3. Mobile 2 path fault output:
In this case Output 1 is set as the Mobile 1 path
fault output, and Output 2 as the Mobile 2 path
fault output.
4. RPS output for Pin 4:
The output will operate when input Pin 4 is
triggered. It will return to normal when an
acknowledge signal is returned from the ARC.
The output has a minimum operation time of 1s.
When the acknowledgement is received in less
than 1 second after Pin 4 is triggered then the
output will remain operational for 1s.
5. Fire NAK output:
When configured in this way Output 2 will
activate after a Pin 1 alarm is sent and no
acknowledgement from the platform is
received for 80s. By default Output 2 is set
to Dual path fault.
6. Keyswitch:
To be able to set/unset the alarm panel with
the customer app.
Output 3 (FIRE)
1. User operated:
The default setting for output 3. This can be
operated by the web portal or the app 2.
2. Fire ACK output:
When configured in this way, output 3 will activate
when an acknowledgment to a Pin 1 alarm is
received. It will de-activate when Pin 1 resets.
3. Keyswitch:
To be able to set/unset the alarm panel with the
customer app.
Keyswitch Mode (Visible when output
2 or 3 set to Keyswitch)
• Momentary – momentary pulse to allow set and
unset of alarm panel with customer app.
• Latched – Latched output option to allow set
and unset of panel with customer app. Used in
conjunction when setting output 2 as Keyswitch.
Default Outputs settings 1, 2 and 3:
• Output 1 is set to BSIA 175 and will operate if
either path is in fault.
• Output 2 is set to Dual path fault. This allows
a choice for simple installations for PD6669
without reprogramming.
• Output 3 is set to User operated.
Fire output settings:
To ensure that the Essential Extra units can inform the
fire alarm panel of status as per the requirements of
EN 54, the outputs need to be configured as follows:
Output 1:
COMMS – Single Path fail – will operate when
either signalling path fails.
Output 2:
FUNC – Fire NAK – will operate after a Pin 1 alarm
is sent and no acknowledgement from the Alarm
Receiving Centre (ARC) is received for 80s.
Output 3:
FIRE – Fire ACK – will operate when an
acknowledgment to a Pin 1 alarm is received from
the ARC. It will return to normal when Pin 1 is reset.
Output 1 will be operated in the normal state. This
ensures that, in the unlikely event of a total failure
of the unit, the fire panel will still detect a state
change on its fault input.
