Do not attempt to use this equipment until you have fully read and understood this guide.
RDU-A-200
Quick Start Guide
A knowledge of BS5839: Pt 1: 2017: Fire Detection and Alarm Systems for Buildings is essential.
It is strongly recommended that a suitably qualied and competent person is consulted in connection with the Fire Alarm System
design and that the entire system is commissioned in accordance with the current national standards and specications.
Equipment Guarantee
The equipment carries no warranty unless the system is installed, commissioned and serviced in accordance with the manual and the
relevant standards by a suitably qualied and competent person or organisation.
Access Level Description Shift LED Key Operation Default code
0 – NORM Normal OFF NO N/A
1 – USER User ON YES 8737
2 – SUPR Supervisor SLOW FLASH NO 7877
3 – ENGR Engineer FAST FLASH NO 3647
Surface Mounting
The three mounting holes should be used to se-
cure the cabinet to a solid wall using suitable
screws of at least 50mm in length. Ensure that a
minimum gap of 50mm is left between the sides
of the back box and any wall or projection (such
as another box).

Fire Alarm Controls
The menus on repeater panels are exactly the same as the menus on a control panel. However most of the controls are not relevant
for repeater panels so will give the message ‘ NOT AVAILABLE ON RDU’.
The main Fire Alarm Controls may be enabled by turning the key switch to the “controls enabled” position,
or by entering a valid Access code (See page 1).
The menus may be navigated in one of two ways as required:
1. Use the UP / DOWN keys to move the highlighted selection and press ENTER to select the chosen one.
2. Enter the desired option number and press ENTER to select it.
Press the Esc key to exit to the previous menu.
Mains Supply & Batteries
The repeater panel 230V AC supply requires xed wiring between 1 mm2 and 2.5 mm2, a 3 a m p f u s e d
un-switched spur with local isolation. The mains supply should be dedicated to the repeater panel and should
be clearly labelled ‘FIRE ALARM: DO NOT SWITCH OFF’ at all isolation points.
The repeater panel requires 2 x 12V 7Ah sealed lead acid batteries. The batteries should be connected in
series using the connection leads supplied. We recommend the use of type Yuasa NP7-12 (FR) or other
equivalent approved type.
Do not use smaller capacity batteries on this system, smaller ones will be overcharged and the service life will
be reduced.
Using di󰀨erent capacity or type of batteries could also invalidate any warranty.
Note that batteries are electrically live at all times and great care should be taken to ensure that the terminals
are never presented with a short circuit. Care should be taken at all times, especially during transit, installation
and normal use.
Use caution as there is a risk of explosion if the batteries are replaced by an incorrect type.
Batteries no longer required should be disposed of in a
safe and environmentally friendly manner by the battery
manufacturer or a suitable recycling service. They
should never be incinerated or placed in normal rubbish
collection facilities. Dispose of used batteries according
to the instructions. F3.15A 20MM

Commissioning
The commissioning process regarding the loops and devices is covered in the Control Panel Engineering & Commissioning Manuals.
The repeater panel commissioning is only concerned with the functionality of the repeater panel itself.
Communications between the panel and repeater is via a multi-drop RS-485 Peripheral Bus.
2-core 1.5mm2 screened re resistant cable (i.e. FP200, Firetu󰀨, Firecell) cable should be used for communications to the repeater.
The maximum total cable length from the control panel to a repeater is 500 metres.
Up to 8 repeaters can be used but they must all be within the maximum 500 metres cable length and are wired + to +, - to -, the screen
must be connected to the control panel at one end only using the terminals provided. Terminate the unused end in a connector block
as shown below and so on up to the maximum of 8 repeaters.
The peripheral bus must be run from the panel to the rst repeater then the second repeater and so on; the peripheral bus must not
be spurred from one point.
The jumpers are tted to impedance match the cable with the driver ICs & prevent signal reections down the cable.
The commissioning engineer will require the peripheral bus continuity and insulation readings, along with correctly marked ‘as-wired’
drawings and completed conguration sheets in order to commission the repeater panel.
The system conguration must be downloaded into the repeater panel using the CIE-A-200 OSP programming software using a USB
lead to link to a computer. This procedure is exactly the same for the repeater panel as has been done on the main control panel.
However, the conguration must be the repeater panel conguration (including the panel type being repeater and the address being
the repeater address) and not the control panel conguration.
NOTE: It is imperative that the correct version of OSP is used to match your version of repeater panel. The use of an
incompatible version may result in incorrect operation of the repeater panel.
When the system conguration has been downloaded into the repeater panel, the commissioning engineer should verify that all the
re alarm system events are correctly reported on the repeater panel and the repeater panel controls operate correctly.
This will involve testing the system and therefore can be combined with the overall system commissioning process.
If the repeater panel has been tted as a system upgrade then a full system test should
be carried out to verify that all the re alarm system events are correctly reported on the
repeater panel and the repeater panel controls operate correctly.
