ITEMS SUPPLIED WITH THE PANEL

SUMMARY OF NEW FUNCTIONS & SYSTEM ENHANCEMENTS
The enhancements / programming functions listed below are
available from 1 July 2010 if the following firmware versions
are installed: Quantec Controller version 10A5; Display
version 3.2; Display nterface QT615 version 3.5; Call Point
version 1A06; Radio Receiver version 4.0; Surveyor version
V1M03; PCTOOLS version 4.2.
User D
llows a patient's infrared neck pendant or a worker’s infrared
staff attack transmitter to be given a unique User/Caller ID and
custom name. This information can be programmed to show
on relevant Quantec Displays, or to only show in Quantec's
Surveyor Data Management Software. This information is also
held in the Quantec Controller’s on-board datalogger.
Knowing which patient is calling (in addition to which room
they called from) can assist carers in deciding how to respond
to a call. Likewise, being able to determine which worker has
been attacked can help flag training issues. For example, if
there are multiple incidents involving one member of staff it
may indicate a problem.
Initial programming of User/Caller ID data requires a QT423
Configurator and its PC software tools. Should a resident, or
worker move on, authorised users can easily change a pendant
or transmitter’s User/Caller ID at the Quantec Controller.
Attack Tracking
llows Quantec to ‘track’ the course of an ttack generated
via an infrared staff attack transmitter.
It is not uncommon for attack situations to spill over into
neighbouring rooms, or for assailants to chase a potential
victim through a building. In such circumstances, Quantec will
analyse the User/Caller ID of the worker’s staff attack
transmitter and only display the last infrared or radio receiver
it activated (i.e. the current location of the attack).
full record of the attack, showing all activated receivers and
the order in which they were triggered, is logged in the
Surveyor Data Management Software, data which can be
used as evidence should criminal proceedings arise.
Staff Attendance Pendants
llows nursing or security staff entering rooms to log their
‘ ttendance’ via an infrared call point or ceiling receiver.
ttendance calls, and the User/Caller ID of the pendants
which make them, are logged in Quantec’s Surveyor Data
Management Software, allowing management to monitor
which staff are performing their duties. This information is
also held in the Quantec Controller’s on-board datalogger.
Each pendant has a typical transmitting range of 10 metre
line-of-sight (infrared) and 60 metre (radio) and is powered
by a replaceable battery providing up to 12 months
operation. Should a battery be nearing the end of its life, the
Pendant’s User/Caller ID is flagged in the Surveyor software
and at the Quantec Controller’s datalogger with a low battery
warning.
Patient Neck Pendants
llows patients to remotely trigger Standard calls via infrared
call points, ceiling receivers and radio receivers. Ideal for use
in individual bedrooms, or communal areas such as lounges
(where they eliminate the need for long and potentially
hazardous tail call leads). Each pendant can be programmed
with a unique User/Caller ID so staff can see which patients
are calling. Battery requirements and transmitting ranges are
as per our new Staff ttendance Pendants (described above).
Ensuite Call Level
llows slave devices such as ceiling pulls in bathrooms, or WCs
to generate a distinct ‘Ensuite’ call level. Calls from bathroom
areas are typically considered a higher priority than standard
calls and are therefore indicated on the system at the same
level as ‘help required’ calls. For the Ensuite function to work
correctly, ensuite devices must be connected to an
appropriately programmed new-style Quantec call point.
Call Points with Additional Slave nputs
Quantec’s call points (all variants) include an additional slave
input and be programmable to operate in a multitude of
different ways using a QT423 Configurator and its PC
software tools. For example, it is possible to configure a call
point’s C LL button to make an Emergency call on its initial
activation, a slave ceiling pull to make an Ensuite call, a slave
panic button to make an ttack call and a tail call lead to
make a Help Required call (or any other combination). Reset
buttons can also be programmed so they bypass the Presence
call level.
Custom-Site Name Facility
llows a custom site name of (up to 16 characters) to be
assigned to all Quantec Displays. This new engineer-
programmable function allows end users to add a personal
touch to their call systems and is particularly impressive in
hotel, leisure and healthcare applications.
More Advanced Paging
llows any call on the Quantec system to be routed to
handheld alphanumeric pagers in a much more sophisticated
way than was previously possible. For example, messages can
now be sent to different pagers, dependent on the level of
call, the area the call came from and whether the call is made
during the day or at night to accommodate lower staffing
levels. re-paging function is also available to ensure calls do
not remain unanswered for extended periods of time.
DECT Capability
llows call messages to be directed to many third-party DECT
telephone systems. Output options are as per Quantec’s
advanced paging functions (described above). Please contact
C-TEC’s technical department for more detailed DECT system
compatibility information.
mproved Surveyor Software
Surveyor is a powerful call system data management software
package. It now allows the additional logging of User/Caller
ID data, ttendance call data and transmitters / pendants with
low batteries.
Surveyor allows building managers to take tighter control of
their care facilities by outputting reports on busiest shifts, call
response times and more - data that can potentially save a
business thousands of pounds.

THE QUANTEC CONCEPT
The Quantec addressable call system is ideal for nursecall,
general call and ‘staff attack’ applications.
In today’s healthcare environments, it is usual for staff in
nursing homes and hospitals to be responsible only for certain
areas of the building depending on factors such as layout,
type of care, staff to patient ratios, etc. Thus, in order to
create an effective call system, all call points and monitoring
points within the building need to have their messages
‘routed’ only to the Displays relevant to certain staff.
Quantec does this by setting all the call points within one part
of the nursing home as one ‘ rea’, and all the call points
within another part of the building as another rea. Similarly,
Displays are set as members of different ‘Groups’, again
dependent on their location within the building. The object
of grouping devices in this manner is to allow simple routing
equations which describe how messages are directed around
the system by the Quantec Controller.
However, before being set as members of an rea or Group,
all network devices (except ancillary devices, e.g. slave
overdoor lights, ceiling pulls) need to be given a unique
address (ID) number so they may be identified by the Quantec
Controller.
The example illustration of a fictional nursing home (below)
explains how the Quantec concept can be applied. The method
of routing shown is one of several variations which may be set.
ll calls made from Bedrooms 1 to 6 and Lounge 1 will be
dealt with by staff located in the West Wing. Therefore, all the
call points/monitoring points in the West Wing (devices 10-17)
are assigned as members of one rea ( rea ) and all Displays
in West Wing (devices 2 and 3) are assigned as members of
one Group (Group 1). similar scenario applies to the East
Wing, the Central rea and the South Wing.
lso, it is possible to program the addressable overdoor light
outside the West Wing (device 7) so it will indicate when a call
has been made from any calling devices in rea . To do this
each addressable overdoor light needs to be assigned as a
member of a ‘Zone’. (If used, addressable sounders should also
be assigned as members of a Zone.)
By referring to the nursing home installation plans it is
possible to determine the rea, Group and Zone ‘sets’ for the
entire site, and plot them onto a Device ssignment Table,
similar to the one shown on the following page.
Note: Templates for Device ssignment Tables are located at
the back of this document.

The Device ssignment Table (below) can be used as a
reference aid when programming Quantec. However, before
programming can begin, the day-to-day requirements of the
call system must be ascertained from the client to enable the
routing relationships between the various reas, Groups and
Zones.
Exa ple Require ent 1: t night, when fewer staff are on
duty, calls need to go to different nursing stations than
during the day, i.e. from unmanned nursing stations to
staffed locations.
Exa ple Solution 1: Two different routes can be programmed
into Quantec - a primary day route (to specify which call areas
sound where during daytime hours) and a night route (to
specify which call reas sound where at night).
Quantec can be programmed to enter and exit night mode
either automatically (by an engineer), or manually (by an
authorised member of staff).

For example in the nursing home highlighted earlier, it may
be decided that the routing relationship between reas and
Groups needs to be as follows:
Exa ple Require ent 2: lthough each wing of the nursing
home will be staffed independently, if a call is not answered
within a certain period of time, it must be automatically
flagged elsewhere in the building to ensure a response.
Similarly, if a nurse has to leave her nursing station, she must
be able to manually divert calls in her absence.
Exa ple Solution 2: Quantec can be programmed to divert
calls from one Group of Displays to Groups located elsewhere,
either automatically (after a pre-determined time) or
manually. For instance, if any call signalled to Group 1 Displays
is not answered after 1-8 minutes (adjustable) it can be
programmed to automatically divert to Displays in, say,
Groups 2 and 3. Once the routing relationships between reas
and Groups has been decided they should be programmed
into a Group Routing Table, similar to the example shown
below (for details of how to set the time-outs for automatic
divert, refer to the 'Programming Quantec' section).
Note: Templates for Group Routing Tables are located at the
back of this document.
Quantec GROUP ROUTING T BLE (max. 8 reas / Groups per equation)
Exa ple Require ent 3: In addition to standard slave
overdoor lights (positioned outside rooms), a method of
visually guiding staff along small off-shoot corridors to the
source of a call is also required.
Exa ple Solution 3: Quantec’s addressable overdoor lights can
be programmed to respond to calls from any rea(s) just as
Groups of Displays can. For instance, the addressable overdoor
light in Zone 1 of the example illustration needs to respond
to all calls from rea . It is possible to program a series of
strategically placed addressable overdoor lights to lead staff
directly to the source of a call by putting up to eight reas in
the rea equation, i.e. 'Follow My Leader' lights.
For each Zone there are, in fact, two equations - one for reas
and one for devices. The device equation would be used if an
addressable overdoor light was positioned outside a room
with more than one call point, or where (say, in a
refurbishment) only two wires are available. By including the
device numbers of the relevant call points within that room in
the device equation, the addressable overdoor light will
illuminate when a call is made.
Once the routing relationships between Zones, reas and (if
applicable) devices has been decided, they should be
programmed into a Zonal Routing Table (see example below).
Note: Templates for Zonal Routing Tables are located at the
back of this document.
Quantec ZON L ROUTING T BLE (max. 8 reas / Devices per equation)
Exa ple Require ent 4: lthough standard patient and HELP
REQUIRED calls should be flagged in each independently
staffed wing, to ensure a swift response to any EMERGENCY
or TT CK calls, these should be flagged throughout the
nursing home as soon as they are made.
Exa ple Solution 4: EMERGENCY and/or TT CK calls can be
sent either locally or globally during the day, dependent on
each client’s specific requirements. If 'Local' is chosen, the calls
are sent only to the Display Groups set up in the routing table.
lternatively, if 'Global' is selected, the calls are sent out to
every Display on the network. (Refer to the 'Programming
Quantec' section for further details.)
Exa ple Require ent 5: To assist in the efficient running of
the nursing home and to combat any accusations from
patient’s relatives that calls are not being answered quickly
enough, a reliable form of evidence is required to prove that
nurses are attending to patients as quickly as possible.
Exa ple Solution 5: Quantec’s Controller includes a built-in
datalogger which, if selected, will record all activities on the
call system, including calls, resets and faults.

GENERAL WRNG RULES
• Quantec utilises a unique data protocol that works down just two wires.
• All system wiring is made in a ‘Spine’ and ‘Limb’ configuration, using network splitters, allowing the use of ordinary
unscreened cable which simplifies installation, fault-finding and commissioning.
• A maximum of 255 addressable devices can be connected to a Quantec Controller (dependent on network topology).
• Distribute Splitters evenly throughout the site and locate at an accessible height.
• As addressable devices are soft addressed, no consideration needs to be given to how they will interact until system
programming.
• Slave devices such as slave ceiling pulls, slave overdoor lights and slave infrared ceiling receivers connect to Quantec
via a master call point, master ceiling receiver, monitoring point or universal programming device using 2, 3 or 4 cores
of strand security cable - refer to the shaded areas on Page 9 for guidance.
• A QT423 Configurator is needed to program the special functions available on devices marked *

• Wire Spines in 1.5 mm2or 2.5 mm2T & E
For a typically loaded system, the following spine lengths apply:
• Max. length for a single spine using 1.5 mm2cable = 150 m
• Max. length for a single spine using 2.5 mm2cable = 250 m
• Max. length of all spines + limbs = 750 m.
The above are general rules of thumb, if required refer to
Pages 10 & 11 for more specific wiring details/calculator chart.

QT601-2 Quantec Controller
Installation & Programming Manual • pproved Document No. DNU6012001 Rev 5 • Page 10 of 42
Planning an nstallation
The Quantec Controller can be located anywhere on the
network, although it is normal practice to install it centrally
to reduce wiring runs, ideally in a manager or supervisor’s
office. If Quantec’s Surveyor data management software is
required, the PC used to run the software must be located
within 20 metres of the Controller.
Network Splitters are best located in corridors where they can
be easily accessed. In addition to protecting the system from
open and short circuit faults, the more that are fitted, the
easier it is to install, commission and maintain the system.
s a general rule of thumb, install one splitter per corridor
junction (located at the end of the corridor nearest to the
Quantec Controller). However, if the corridor is longer than
50 metres, install the network splitter in the centre of the
corridor to reduce the wiring runs required for each limb.
Note that the ONLY recommended method of wiring Quantec
involves using network splitters. DO NOT wire any devices to
the spine other than network splitters. The more splitters you
use, the easier and quicker it is to program/fault-find.
Refer to Splitter PCB layout drawing (below).
Each network splitter has:
• one input and one output network ‘spine’ connection
(both unfused).
• 6-fused (400m ) ‘limbs’ for wiring individual circuits
containing networked devices.
When wiring to a network splitter, ALWAYS remove the plug-
on connectors from the PCB and reconnect them when the
wiring is secure in the terminal block. Failure to so could result
in the terminal block twisting and the PCB being damaged.
Each splitter has two indicators, 'Power' indicates power is
being supplied to the network and 'Fault' indicates one of the
splitter’s circuits has a blown fuse. (N.B. unused circuits may
have their fuses removed without showing a fault).
No more than 60 addressable devices can be connected to
each network splitter.
General Purpose Wiring nstructions
With Quantec a limiting factor is voltage drop, which should
be limited to 5 volts worse case. s call points and overdoor
lights take different amounts of current depending on
whether they are in a calling or quiescent state, it is difficult
to predict the exact consequences of voltage drop without
knowing the exact configuration.
The System Wiring Overview on Pages 8 & 9 lists general rules
of thumb for wiring a Quantec system. In addition the
following is assumed:
1. Network splitters will be used throughout the network.
2. ll spines will be wired in 1.5 mm2or 2.5 mm2c.s.a cable.
3. ll limbs will be wired in 7/0.2 mm2strand cable. Use a
minimum of 4 core cable, doubling up by paralleling 2 cores
for the positive (NET+) and 2 cores for the 0 volt (NET-).
Don’t use single strand cable as it breaks too easily!
4. If Overdoor Lights are used, or devices are installed at the
end of a limb, use 6 core cable, twisted into 1 pair.
5. maximum of 15 networked devices may be connected to
any limb, with the most distant device no further than 60
metres from the network splitter.
6. If possible, devices should be distributed at approximately
equal distances along the length of each limb.
First Fix
1. Plan cable routes and site the network splitters in
strategic positions as previously described. Please note, as the
system is addressable the programming of devices is not
dependent on their location on the network. Therefore,
devices that are difficult to access do not have to be
connected to the same network splitter as other call points in
the same area. For reference purposes, an example of the
planned cable routes for a fictional nursing home is shown
on Page 5.
Care should be taken when planning cable routes not to
exceed voltage drop limitations detailed above.

2. Connect ‘spines’ and fix wiring to overdoor lights (call
points if overdoor lights are not used) and mark up the
Splitter Connection Record Sheet (located at the back of this
document).
3. Wire ‘limbs’ in each individual room as required. Typical
room wiring diagrams are shown below:
Second Fix: 1st Stage
1. Fit the Quantec Controller.
2. Connect the network splitters and spines of the network.
3. Power up the system and check that all the network splitter
‘power‘ lights are on. If they are all off, there is probably a
short. If only one is off, there is an open circuit. Rectify any
faults. The integrity of the basic network is now proved.
4. Connect the rest of the equipment (call points, ceiling
pulls, overdoor lights, monitoring points, etc.) as detailed in
the wiring diagrams supplied with each device.
5. Plug the limbs onto the network splitters one at a time.
For each limb in turn check that the green power light on the
network splitter is lit and that the furthest networked point
on that limb goes into unassigned call when the device is
operated. Rectify any wiring faults as necessary.
Second Fix: 2nd Stage
Refer to Pre-Commissioning Instructions ( ppendix 7) and
Programming Quantec section (Pages 15 to 29).
Device wiring when Overdoor Lights are used
(Loop the network through the slave overdoor lights then
wire spurs to the call points. This tends to reduce the
cable run to the furthest point.)
Device wiring when Overdoor Lights are not used
Spine Length Calculator
Use the Spine Length Calculator (below) to work out the
maximum spine cable lengths taking into account the
number and type of devices connected to any network
splitter(s) on that spine. If several splitters are connected to
one spine then the calculation is for every device connected
to that run of 1.5 mm2or 2.5 mm2cable on all splitters.
ll spines wired from the Quantec Controller should be
calculated separately.
For the fictional nursing home highlighted earlier (Page 5),
which has two splitters connected to one ‘spine’, the points
calculation (with reference to the Spine Length Calculator)
would be as follows:
Displays (5 x 4 points) 20 points
ddressable OD Lights (3 x 7 points) 21 points
Call Points (23 x 1 point) 23 points
Monitoring Points (5 x 1 point) 5 points
Slave OD Lights (21 x 1 point) 21 points
Ceiling Pulls (16 x 0 point) 0 points
Total Number of Device Points 90 points
Therefore, the maximum length of cable run for this
particular spine would be 300 metres of 1.5 mm2cable or 400
metres of 2.5 mm2cable.
Device Point Values
ll Quantec devices have a ‘points’ rating which takes into
account their current consumption and voltage drop risk:
Call Point = 1 ddressable ODL / Sounder = 7
Monitoring Point = 1 Display = 4
IR Slave = 0.5 Display Interface = 1.5
Slave OD Light = 1 Ceiling Pull = 0
To determine the maximum length of a particular spine,
calculate the total points value of all the devices that will
be connected to any network splitter(s) on that spine and
read off the relevant figure on the graph above.

MOUNTING THE ENCLOSURE
The Quantec Controller is supplied with a plastic hinged lid, a
metal back box and three separate PCBs, the relative location
of which is indicated in Figure 1 below.
Figure 1 : Controller PCBs layout
The Controller must be sited internally in an area not subject
to conditions likely to affect its performance, e.g. damp, salt-
air, water ingress, extremes of temperature, physical abuse,
etc. The liquid crystal display on the enclosure's front should
ideally be situated at eye level.
The Quantec Controller can be surface, or semi-flush mounted
(refer to Figure 3, bottom right).
Exposing the Base Mounting Holes
To expose the Quantec Controller's base mounting holes, its
two base PCBs must first be removed. It is also recommended
that the hinged lid is removed to prevent accidental damage
during the fixing process.
To Remove the Lid:
• Take the Controller out of its box and undo the two screws
on the right hand side of the lid using the allen key provided.
• Hinge the lid 180° to the left (do not overbend the hinges).
• Disconnect the lid / base connecting cable (PL1) from the
Main Control PCB. Care should be taken when detaching this
connector to depress the telecoms-style locking tab to prevent
damage (refer to the inset in Figure 1 above).
• Carefully remove the four M4 retaining nuts that secure the
hinges.
To Remove the Base PCBs:
• Ensure power has been removed from the panel and that
the Power Supply PCB is safe to handle.
• Disconnect connector cable (PL5) on the Main Control PCB.
• Pull the PSU earth strap off the spade connector at the main
chassis earth point.
• Carefully undo the PCB retaining screw located at the
bottom left-hand side of the relevant PCB using a crosshead
screwdriver.
• Push the PCBs up and then forwards over the mounting
pillars taking care not to damage any of the components.
The Controller's lid and base PCBs can now be removed to
prevent accidental damage.
Note: The base PCBs are static-sensitive and relevant anti-
static handling precautions must be observed when handling
them. Refer to ppendix 3 for further details.
Decide carefully how the wiring will be fed into the panel
with reference to Figure 2 below and remove the required
knock-outs for cable entry. lways ensure that if a knock-out
is removed, the hole is filled with a good quality cable gland.
ny unused knock-outs must be securely blanked off.
It is essential that the 230 Va.c. cable is fed into the enclosure
via one of the inlets at the top right hand corner of the
enclosure. For further CRITIC L information on Mains
connection please refer to Page 13.
Using the four mounting holes, fix the base securely onto/into
the wall. The mounting holes are suitable for use with No.8
roundhead or countersunk woodscrews. ssess the condition
and construction of the wall and use a suitable screw fixings.
ny dust or swarf created during the fixing process must be
kept out of the enclosure and great care must be taken not
to damage any wiring or components.

CONNECTING THE PANEL
The Power Supply PCB
THIS UNIT MUST BE E RTHED!
The Controller’s PSU combines the functions of a power supply
unit, battery charging unit and battery monitoring unit. It is
a 185-265 Va.c., 50-60 Hz off-line, switched mode PSU which
stores hazardous voltages of up to 400 Vd.c.
Mains Connection
DO NOT connect Mains to the PSU until the
installation is complete and all PCBs are correctly
attached, the lid/base connecting cable is in place, and
all retaining screws are firmly fastened down.
The general requirement for the Mains to the Controller is
fixed wiring, 3-core cable (no less than 0.75 mm2, no more
than 2.5 mm2) or a suitable three conductor system that meets
the appropriate national wiring regulations.
The panel should be fed from an isolating switch fuse spur,
fused at 3 . This should be secure from unauthorised
operation and be marked “C LL SYSTEM : DO NOT SWITCH
OFF”. This Mains must be exclusive to the Quantec Controller.
Correctly terminate the incoming cables, as shown in Figure 4
below. If required, the 5 mm connector block (CONN1) can be
pulled from the PCB for ease of installation. Ensure that the
incoming Mains earth is connected directly to this connector
block and NOT to the chassis earth point.
The Power Supply PCB is connected to the Main Control PCB
by a 10-way pitch connector. This connects from PL1 on the
Power Supply PCB to PL5 on the Main Control PCB.
Primary Fuse: 1 HRC ceramic to IEC 127 (EN60127 Pt 2).
Battery Fuse: 3.15 F to IEC 127 (EN60127 Pt 2).
DO NOT USE NY OTHER TYPE/SIZE OF FUSE IN THESE POSITIONS.
Figure 4 : Mains Connection to Power Supply PCB
Standby Battery Connection
The power supply PCB contains circuitry that not only charges
stand-by batteries, but also measures the condition of them
to protect against deep discharge.
One feature of this circuitry is that it allows the installer to
power the system without connecting the mains supply. For
this to work, two fully charged 12 V VRL batteries should be
connected in series, as shown below (always ensure correct
polarity connection).
MPORTANT: When Quantec is powered up for the first time,
the Quantec Controller may need to reset its Configuration
Data to its default values. The message ‘Fit NVM Link’, or ‘E’
to Abort’ will be displayed. When the NVM link is fitted the
message ‘ N T AL S NG DATA, PLEASE WA T’ will flash on the
display. This procedure may take up to 1 minute and MUST be
completed before Quantec will operate properly.

Printer/ PC Connection
CONN1 is provided for the connection of a standard 80
column RS232 printer (required if you wish to keep a
permanent record of data from the Controller's datalogger)
or a PC (required if you wish to utilise Quantec’s QT707S
Surveyor Data Management software).
The QT707S Surveyor software requires a PC running Windows
98, 2000, XP, VIST or Windows 7 and is supplied with a CD,
QT600S (or FP600S) wall socket and interface lead.
Most 80 column RS232 printers will work provided they are
set up as follows: data word = 8 bit; stop bit = 1; baud rate =
9600; parity = none. If in doubt, a pre-tested Printer Kit c/w
printer, wall socket and interface lead is available; Part No.
QT600P.
Laptop PC Connection (for programming)
If you wish to program Quantec using its QT707
upload/download software, an IBM compatible PC running
Windows 98, 2000, XP, VIST or Windows 7 should be
connected to the PCB as shown. Quantec’s QT707 software kit
includes a lead with a 9-way serial port connector.
Radio Pager Connection
lphanumeric radio paging can be achieved using a
BF874Q Q transmitter connected to the PCB via a QT600S wall
socket as shown above (the BF874Q Q kit includes the wall
socket and a serial interface lead). lphanumeric display
pagers are also available separately (Part No. BF877Q Q).
uxiliary Output Connection
typical application for the Controller's auxiliary outputs is
to introduce tone only paging equipment onto the system, to
drive strobes or interface to other systems. Refer to ppendix
4 for typical wiring information.
Figure 5 : Main Control PCB Connection Details

QT601-2 Quantec Controller
Programming Methods
The Controller can be programmed using two methods:
(1) Using its front panel buttons and LCD display
lthough time consuming, all aspects of programming can be
undertaken using this method and no other piece of
equipment is required.
(2) Using the Quantec upload/download software (QT707)
llows quick and easy input of data and routing
arrangements via an IBM compatible PC. This method is much
quicker than method 1 and provides the added bonus of
allowing off-site programming (if the relevant details are
available) and the archiving of programming information for
future reference.
Only the first method is covered in detail in this manual.
Information on how to program Quantec using its upload
/download software can be found in the separate instructions
and help files supplied with the QT707 software.
The efficiency with which the programming function is carried
out depends on:
• The accuracy of information received regarding the
wiring and devices fitted.
• The freedom of the installation from faults and errors.
• The completeness of the information received from the
client/specifier as regards text information and the
manner in which the equipment is to operate.
The only factor normally within the control of the
programmer is the final item and even if this is done perfectly,
the quality of the installation will always be based upon the
quality of the first two factors.
To help ensure that the information received is complete as
possible, we recommend the installing contractor is provided
with a copy of this document before starting the job. This
document contains sections which should be completed by the
installing contractor prior to system handover, specifically in
the System Wiring Overview section and Pre-Commissioning
Instructions ( ppendix 7).
Typical Programming Sequence
full explanation of Quantec’s programming functions can
be found on Pages 16 to 25 of this manual. The actual
commissioning sequence used will vary depending on the
information available and personal preference. However we
recommend it follows a similar pattern to that described in
the next column:
(1) Power up the system and assign the devices on the limbs.
Experience shows the easiest way to do this is using the
Controller's utoScan function. This sequentially assigns the
next available ID location to unassigned devices as they are
operated and allows the system to be programmed very
quickly. Refer to ssigning Multiple Devices section 1.2.
Hint: When autoassigning the system, plan your route around the building
on a drawing, marking on it the device numbers you anticipate will be
assigned to each networked device. It is advisable to assign each limb one
at a time, periodically stopping the autoassign function to check that a
particular device is programmed as anticipated. handy way of doing this
is to program a Display and then press the button which will display its
ID number. Whilst the autoassign function is active, pressing a call button
on any unassigned device will automatically assign the next available device
number to it.
(2) Verify that the devices are programmed correctly by
checking the last assigned number at the Controller, or by
using the Display Device function section 3.1. Once a device is
programmed, it retains its ID even when power is removed. If
programmed by mistake, you must reset the ID to unassigned
by shorting the two Reset ID pins on the networked device
PCB whilst it is powered up. Note: Once a device's ID number
has been reset, it enters the unassigned state. t this point the
old ID number must be deleted from the Controller as it will
try and scan for the device and not be able to find it. Refer to
Editing Existing Devices section 1.3.
(3) Print off a list of devices. If you don't have a printer you
must write this information down by scrolling through the
Device ssignment Table at the Controller. This initial list (if
you are using a printer) will show no names attached to the
devices and can be given to the client so they can write down
what they wish to call each device. Note: 45 custom and 40
pre-set place names are available. Refer to Editing Custom
Texts section 1.7.
(4) Discuss with the client all the routing options for calls (i.e.
night mode operation, splitting of network into manageable
areas, routing of calls to different Displays, divert / autodivert
functions, timeouts, logging options, etc). Most options are
highlighted in the Quantec Concept section of this manual.
(5) Program in the names and operating modes, routing
tables, etc. as agreed with the client (refer to sections 1.3 -
Editing Existing Devices, 1.5 - ssigning or Editing rea/Group
Relationships, 1.6 - Setting up ddressable Overdoor Lights
and Sounders, 1.7 - Editing Custom Texts and section 2 - The
System Setup Menu. Note: ll Call Points / Monitoring Points
default to rea ; all Displays default to Group 1 and all
ddressable Overdoor Lights / Sounders default to Zone 1.
Group 1's routing equation defaults to rea , Group 2’s
routing equation defaults to rea B, etc. Zones have no
routing data by default.
(6) Print off a full list of the system devices and programming
set-up data and verify it is as planned. Correct any errors as
necessary. Print and keep a copy of the set-up for reference.
Hint: If you don’t have a printer, the above lists must be derived manually
by scrolling through the Controller menus and writing the list down.
PROGRAMMING QUANTEC
Before programming commences, we recommend you read
'The Quantec Concept' section on Pages 5 to 7.
Commissioning is the most critical part of the installation and
a basic understanding of how Quantec works and the
concept behind it is essential.

Three ‘access levels’ are available at the Quantec Controller:
• General User (Access Level 1)
• Authorised User (Access Level 2)
• Engineer (Access Level 3).
ll programming functions are located in ccess Level 3 and
can be accessed by inputing a four digit code at the Controller
(default code = 3 3 3 3). Note: The Controller will automatically
exit ccess Level 3 after 1 hour without a key press.
Entry to ccess Level 2 requires the input of a different code
(default code = 2 2 2 2). Note: The Controller will automatically
exit ccess Level 2 after 5 minutes without a key press.
Entry to ccess Level 1 does not require an access code.
The menu options available are shown on the menu tree
(right) and are described in detail in this section. Refer to the
subsection number below each menu option for detailed
information on that feature.
Note: The 'NVM' link (located on the Main Control PCB) must
be fitted during the programming process in ccess Level 3.
This unlocks the non-volatile memory on the Controller and
allows site specific data to be modified.

Access Level 3 Programming Functions
1.0 The ssignment Menu
The ssignment Menu allows the introduction of unassigned
devices onto the network and the setting up of routing
arrangements for reas, Groups and Zones. It also allows the
parameters of any existing device, including its name, to be
changed.
1.1 ssigning Individual Devices
Move through the menus to the ssignment Menu and select
the ‘New Device’ prompt. The next unused ID number will be
presented:
This can be altered if required using the scroll keys, but it is
usual to accept this prompt. (Network devices can be assigned
any ID number from 2 to 255. ddress 1 is always allocated to
the Quantec Controller.) fter pressing the ccept key, the
next prompt is to activate the new device:
When the unassigned device is activated, the Controller will
respond by showing the type of device in code form, e.g.
Use the scroll and ccept keys to enter the appropriate rea,
Group or Zone with reference to the Device ssignment Table
on Pages 36 to 38. Once the relevant rea, Group or Zone has
been accepted, a location prompt will appear:
Using the scroll and ccept keys, the device can now be given
a place name from the list of locations (refer to ppendix 1
for a list of Quantec's 40 pre-set place names and note that it
is also possible to program up to 45 custom place names using
the 'Edit Custom Texts' function described in section 1.7). On
pressing the ccept key, your choice will be confirmed, e.g.
By using the scroll and ccept keys, four single alphanumeric
characters can now be tagged onto the end of the place
name.
ll four terms must be accepted, even if they are blank (e.g. a
TV room in the East Wing could be TV Room EW01). When
the final character has been accepted, the ‘ ssign New Device’
prompt reappears. Note: Exiting this option before the final
character has been accepted will cancel the description
change.
1.2 ssigning Multiple Devices
ssigning many individual devices using the 'New Device'
function can be very time consuming. Therefore, an
' utoScan' method is available for assigning multiple devices.
Move through the menus to the ssignment Menu and ccept
the ' utoScan' prompt. The Controller will then wait for a call
from any unassigned device:
ctivate the first unassigned device in the sequence to be
programmed, at which point the Controller will assign the
next available ID number from 2 to 255. ( ddress 1 is always
allocated to the Controller.)
In utoscan mode the rea, Group or Zone set membership
and location description data is not entered immediately.
Instead all outstanding devices can be activated sequentially.
s each device is activated it is assigned an ID number
automatically and, for reference purposes, the last device ID
number is displayed on the Controller.
HINT: When programming a site with many devices, it is
recommended you keep a list of each ID number as each
device is activated and check at regular intervals with the
Controller that the last ID numbers entered correspond. If they
do not, either a mistake has been made or someone has
operated an unassigned device elsewhere in the building. (If
this is the case, refer to sections 1.3 - Editing Existing Devices
and 3.1 - Display Device.)
When the utoscan sequence is complete exit the utoscan
option. t this point all assigned devices have default set
memberships and no location descriptions. To add/change
these refer to section 1.3 - Editing Existing Devices.

1.3 Editing Existing Devices
The parameters of any device already on the system can be
reassigned at any time. lternatively, devices may be
temporarily disabled (for maintenance purposes), or deleted
from the system altogether. One of the prime uses of the
'Existing Device' function is to change the default (blank)
settings given to devices entered onto the system via the
utoscan function.
To edit, move through the menus to the ssignment Menu
and ccept the 'Existing Device' prompt. The details of one of
the devices on the system will then appear, e.g:
Use the scroll keys to select the ID number of the device you
wish to change. number of options will then appear, e.g:
Use the keys to either reassign the parameters of the device,
delete it from the system, or disable it. (Please note, if the
device has previously been disabled, an 'Enable' option will
appear.) If the ‘Re ss’ prompt is accepted, the Controller
responds by showing the type of device in question in code
form, e.g:
Use the keys to enter the appropriate rea, Group or Zone
with reference to the 'Device ssignment Table' on Pages 36
to 38. Once the relevant rea, Group or Zone has been
accepted, a location prompt will appear, e.g:
Using the scroll and ccept keys, the device can now be given
a place name (refer to ppendix 1 for a list of Quantec's 40
pre-set place names and note that it is also possible to
program up to 45 custom place names using the 'Edit Custom
Texts' function described in section 1.7). On pressing the
ccept button, your choice will be confirmed, e.g:
By using the scroll and ccept keys, four single alphanumeric
characters can now be tagged onto the end of the location.
ll four terms must be accepted, even if they are blank (e.g. a
TV room in the East Wing could be TV Room EW01). Exiting
this option before the final character has been accepted will
cancel the description change. When the final character has
been accepted, the ‘ ssign New Device’ prompt reappears:
dditional devices can now be edited, or to return to the
ssignment Menu, press Escape.
1.4 Replacing a Faulty Device
This maintenance function allows you to replace a faulty
device with a new one without having to delete its name,
location and rea, Group or Zone details from the system.
To execute, select the 'Replace Device' prompt from the
ssignment Menu. The Controller will respond with a message
similar to the one below:
Use the scroll keys to select the ID number of the device you
wish to replace and press ccept. Depending on the ID
number you have selected, the following message will appear:
ctivate the new device and await confirmation that it has
been assigned. To check the replaced device's details are as
expected, use the 'Editing Existing Device' function described
in section 1.3.

1.5 ssigning or Editing rea/Group Relationships
In order to route reas (calling devices) to relevant Groups
(Displays), routing equations must be programmed into the
Quantec Controller. Move through the menus to the
ssignment Menu and ccept the 'Setup Group' prompt. The
following prompt will be displayed:
To set up or change the primary (Day) equation for Group 1
use the scroll keys to highlight "Pri" and press ccept. This
equation describes to which rea(s) of calling devices the
Group of Displays will respond when Quantec is in day mode.
Depending on data already entered, the following will
appear:
Use the scroll and ccept keys to enter the appropriate rea(s)
with reference to the 'Group Routing Table' on Page 39. Up
to eight reas can be selected for a Group. ll eight terms
must be accepted, even if they are blank. Pressing Escape
before this process is complete will abort editing without
making changes. When the eighth term has been accepted
the ‘Select Group’ prompt will again be shown, e.g:
To set up or change the Night equation for Group 1 use the
scroll buttons to highlight "Nite" and press ccept.
When in night mode, Quantec routes all reas to all Groups
but only the Display Groups that are programmed to beep in
the 'Night' mode will do so. Use the scroll and ccept keys to
enter the appropriate rea(s) with reference to the 'Group
Routing Table' on Page 39. ll eight terms must be accepted,
even if they are blank as pressing Escape before this process
is complete will abort editing without making changes.
When the eighth term has been accepted the ‘Select Group’
prompt will appear again, e.g.
To set up or change the Divert equation for Group 1 use the
scroll keys to highlight "Div" and press ccept.
This equation describes where calls from the selected Group
should be diverted to if a call has not been accepted before a
pre-determined time has elapsed or manual divert has been
selected from a Display’s menu. By default, Divert equations
are blank (i.e. divert will not operate). Use the scroll and
ccept keys to enter the appropriate rea(s) with reference
to the 'Group Routing Table' on Page 39. ll eight terms must
be accepted, even if they are blank. Pressing Escape before
this process is complete will abort editing without making
changes.
1.6 Setting up ddressable Overdoor Lights and
ddressable Sounders
To route a call to the relevant ddressable Overdoor Light(s)
or Sounder(s), Zone equations must be programmed into the
system. Move through the menus to the ssignment Menu
and ccept the 'Setup Zone' prompt. The following prompt
will appear:
Use the scroll and ccept keys to enter the appropriate
reas/Devices with reference to the 'Zonal Routing Table' on
Page 40. The Zone equation describes to which reas and/or
devices the Zone will respond to in both primary (day) and
night mode.
Note: ddressable overdoor lights and addressable sounders
can include both reas and individual calling devices in their
routing equations. By default these equations are blank. This
means addressable overdoor lights and sounders will not
function until their routing equations have been defined.
maximum of eight reas can be assigned to each Group. ll
eight terms must be accepted, even if they are blank. Pressing
Escape before this process is complete will abort editing
without making changes. In night mode, ddressable
Overdoor Lights and Sounders are silent.
Select Group 001
Pri Nite Div ESC
Group 01 Pri Mode
Group 1 Displays default to rea ; Group 2 to rea
B, etc. These may be altered to suit the system.

1.7 Editing and Sending Custom Texts
Up to 45 custom place names*of up to 11 characters each can
be added to Quantec's library of 40 pre-set place names (refer
to ppendix 1 for a listing of the pre-set place names).
To add or edit a custom name, move through the menus to
the ssignment Menu and ccept the 'Edit Cust Texts'
function. The following prompt will appear:
Use the scroll and ccept keys to select the custom text field
you wish to change. On pressing the ccept key you will be
able to type over the existing text with up to 11 alpha-
numeric characters using the scroll, ccept and Escape keys.
To help speed up the text entry process, in addition to upper
and lower case letters to Z, numbers 0 to 9 and symbols ‘/’,
‘-’, ‘:’ and ‘@’, Quantec's text editing function has a number
of special characters, as listed below:
This clears the character you have selected and LL
characters to the right of it.
This allows you to select the end input character on a
particular field, i.e. SURGERY . When accepted,
this saves you from having to enter blank characters
all the way to the end of a text field.
This deletes the character you have selected and moves
LL text to the right of it one position to the left.
This inserts one space BEFORE the character you have
selected.
When the final character has been entered, the text on the
second line will again begin to flash, e.g:
Use the scroll keys to add/edit any additional custom place
names or press Escape to return to the previous menu.
To add the newly programmed custom names to Quantec's 40
pre-set place names you must send them to the Displays'
memories. To do this, move through the ssignment Menu to
the 'Send Cust Texts' function and press ccept. The following
message will appear:
When the sending process is complete, the Controller will
automatically return to the ssignment Menu. The renamed
custom text fields will now be available to the appropriate
device naming functions (e.g. 'New Device' and 'Existing
Device').
* Note: Corridor Displays with a software revision number of
1.5 or earlier will only accept 20 custom place names. If you
wish to use more than 20 you must upgrade the Displays to
software revision number 1.6 or above.
1.8 Editing System Name
This option allows a custom site name of up to 16 characters
to be assigned to all Quantec Displays. This system name is
displayed on the top line of each Display when in normal
mode.
Edit the system name in the same manner as previously
described for custom texts (section 1.7). Once edited the
system name is automatically transmitted on the system.
1.9 Send System Name
This option is used to transmit the system name to network
devices, if say, a new Display has been added to the system.
1.10 Clean Start
Selecting this function forces the Controller to reset all site
data to the factory default settings. To prevent accidental
implementation of this feature, a warning prompt and special
code is required before the action can be started.
Move through the menus to the ssignment Menu and ccept
the 'Clean Start?' function. The following prompt will appear:
If you wish to proceed, the following sequence of keys should
be pressed:
When the final key is pressed, the following message will
appear for approximately three seconds:
Pressing the ccept key after the above message appears will
instigate the clean start process. Depending on the amount of
data stored, this could take some time.
