ORION EX MINI-REP
OVERVIEW
IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES
The ORION EX MINI-REP will provide remote control and system display status from multiple locations to an
Orion based Conventional Fire Alarm system. Its reduced dimensions make it ideal for installation in
reception areas or security booths where it would be impractical and unattractive to install a full size
control panel. ORION EX MINI-REP can be connected to the Orion Conventional Panel using 4 different
interconnecting technologies: RS-232, RS-485, Fiber Optics and TCP/IP . The unit is provided as standard
with an RS-232 interface. Power for the ORION EX MINI-REP can be supplied from the control panel’s
auxiliary power output or an external 24Volt DC power supply if required.
This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably qualified and technically
competent person.
A basic knowledge and training in the installation of Fire Detection systems is assumed.
The Fire Detection system should be designed by a suitably qualified person with reference to the Local
Regulations and Guidance from the fire Officer where applicable.
All wiring should be carried out with no power present in any part of the fire detection system.

INSTALLATION
In order to correctly install an Orion Ex Mini-Rep, the following steps should be taken:
a) Remove the 4 screws fixing Orion Ex Mini-Rep Display to the unit’s back box.
b) Disconnect flat cable linking Orion Ex Mini-Rep Display to Interface Board.
c) Fix unit’s back box in required mounting position using the mounting holes provided. See Figure 1
d) Reconnect flat cable connecting Orion Ex Mini-Rep Main Board to Data Loop Interface board.
e) Connect Data Loop Cables to interface following instructions provided in this manual and
on appropriate data loop interface data sheet. Please also refer to Orion panel’s installation manual
for further details on how to integrate this Orion Ex Mini-Rep unit on a networked system.
f) Connect Power Supply. Orion Ex Mini-Rep are supplied by an external 24V DC, normally from the
control panel. Do not apply supply voltage until installation is complete.
g) Finally replace Orion Ex Mini-Rep cover onto unit’s back box using the four previously removed screws.
Before powering up the unit, verify that all connections are correctly made and that there are no open or
short circuits on any of the interconnecting wires used for both supply and data transmission.
All connections should be performed with all elements of the fire detection system unpowered.
The Repeater should be located where access to the internal components is not restricted and where the unit is
not exposed to high levels of moisture, vibration and shock.
All cables should be screened.
When using RS-232 interfaces only use cables recommended for this communicationmedia. As a general rule,
cables used for LAN (Cat 5) are suitable for this type of interfacing technology as they are widely available and
offer excellent data transmission characteristics.

NOTE:
When using RS-232 interfaces only one Mini-Rep will be able to
control the Orion conventional panel. All other Orion Ex Mini-Rep’s
will only be able to display system status.
Maximum distance between Panel and last Orion Ex Mini-Rep
should be 100 meters.

THE ORION EX MINI-REP SYSTEM STATUS INDICATORS
AND CONTROL BUTTONS
STATUS
FIRE LED used to indicate any FIRE ALARM condition present on panel.
FAULT LED used to indicate any FAULT condition present on panel.
DISABLED Disabled Status LED used to indicate that the panel has features that have been disabled in
either Access Level 2 or 3 modes.
TEST This LED is active whenever panel is in TEST MODE. Only LIT when in Engineering Mode and
TEST mode has been selected.
SUPPLY Multi function indicator used to indicate the presence of supply. When in Access Level 1 this
LED is permanently lit. If in Access Level 2 (enter this mode using USER CODE) this LED will flash
at a rate of once per second. And finally if in Access Level 3 mode (enter using ENGINEERING
CODE) this LED will flash faster at a rate of once every 0,5 seconds.

FAULTS
SUPPLY This LED will be ON whenever the Main Supply has been removed or has dropped
below 20Volts.
BATTERY Indicates that there is low voltage level on the batteries or the battery charger circuit
has failed.
SOUNDERS If there is a conventional sounder circuit fault, the General Fault LED will be lit and the
Disable Sounders LED in the disablements section will also be lit and flashing.
EARTH When this indicator is ON there is leakage current flowing from the earth connection/
wiring and any conductor in coming into the panel.
ZONE & INPUT INDICATORS
Individual zone indicators are provided for both FIRE/ALARM and FAULT conditions.
If any of these inputs is disabled then its FAULT LED will also be used to indicate the disablement of that
particular zone/ input. The Zone/ Input disabled LED will be ON along with the Disabled status LED. Flashing
Zone Fault LED along with General fault LED indicates fault on that zone.
CONTROLS -
Some switches will only be operational at the repeater after entering the authorised user code. If the operation
of a switch is only available after succesfully entering the authorised user code it will be clearly stated in this
manual that these functions are only active at access level 2.
NOTE: If active please SILENCE INTERNAL BUZZER before entering code.
The four switches are numbered to indicate that they are used to enter digits from 1 to 4 for authorised user
code entry.
BUZZER SILENCE (1 ) At Access Level 1 this button is used to silence the panel's internal buzzer. Access level 3
used to confirm/accept changes in programming.
RESET ( 2 ) Press this button to reset the panel at access level 2.
LAMPTEST( 3 ) Press this button at access level 1 or 2 to test all LED indicators and the panel's internal
buzzer. Release when test is finished.
SOUNDERS( 4 ) Press once to activate/silence sounders. If sounders are active, for example, during a
FIRE condition or in the event of an Evacuation action, pressing this button will stop the
sounders. Auxiliary Relays are not affected by this action.

EXTINGUISHING CYCLE
The extinguishing process can be controlled manually using the buttons available on the front display.
The extinguishing cycle cn be initiated manually executing the following steps:
a) In level 1, silence the internal buzzer using the INTERNAL BUZZER SILENCE button if there are any Fire or
Fault conditions which have not been acknowledged.
b) If panel is in access level 1, access level 2 by using either the access key provided or by entering the user
code 2244.
c) In order to activate the extinguishing press the ACTIVATE EXTINGUISHING button. Activation is
confirmed after the internal buzzer sounds for 1 second. Extinguishing outputs will activated
inmediately for the duration of the previously programmed extinguihing time. Sounder Circuit 1 will
also be activated. When the extinguishing cycle is initiated manually, the pre-extinguishing delay is not
obeyed.
The extinguishing cycle can be stopped once initiated by pressing the ABORT EXTINGUISHING button.
