ABOUT THIS PANEL
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Esento, LCD Remote Display repeater panels have the same, easy to use, controls and indications as
the main control panels with the addition of a 4 line x 40 character, backlit LCD display.
The remote display units are fully functional with ‘Silence’, ‘Resound’ and ‘Reset’ controls, as well as
Disable and Test Mode functions. It is also possible to disable the controls for each or all repeater panels
to make them passive (indication only). Up to 8 repeater panels can be supported on a system.
Repeater panels are designed to be wired in a fault tolerant (fail safe) loop conguration, from comms A
to B and back to the main panel again. This enables repeater panels to still work if there is a break in the
cables.
If replacing an older system where the existing cabling cannot be congured in a loop as above, it is
possible to re-programme the control panel back to legacy RS485 circuit comms monitoring. This then
allows any topology of comms cabling to be utilised.
The main circuit board has 2, switch –ve, outputs which provide re and fault signals. Inputs are available
for use as PSU fault inputs. An input for a remote key-switch is also provided.
Controls are enabled via a 4 digit code entry. The user code can be changed in the programming settings.
An eight button keypad is used to control the system and allow access to the function options.
The remote display unit is housed in a robust sheet steel enclosure suitable for wall mounting. Cable entry
is via 20mm ‘knockouts’ located at the top and rear of the cabinet.
A nominal 28v dc supply is required to power the remote display units which can be obtained from the
control panel or remote power supply unit.

INSTALLATION
ESD PRECAUTION
GENERAL
MOUNTING THE CABINET
Electronic components are vulnerable to damage by Electrostatic Discharges (ESD). An ESD wrist strap,
suitably grounded, should be worn at all times when handling pcbs. These wrist straps are designed to
prevent the build up of static charges, not only within a persons body, but on many other materials.
ESD damage is not always evident immediately, faults can manifest themselves at anytime in the future.
All pcbs should be stored in static shielded bags (silvered) for safe keeping, when not mounted in the
control panel.
Care should be taken with regards to avoiding the close proximity of high voltage cables or areas likely
to induce electrical interference. Earth links should be maintained on all system cables and grounded in
the control panel. The detection and sounder circuit cabling is classed as extra low voltage and must be
segregated away from mains voltage.
• Any junction boxes used should be clearly labelled FIRE ALARM.
• Any ancillary devices, e.g. door retaining magnets, must be powered from a separate power source.
• Any coils or solenoids used in the system must be suppressed, to avoid damage to the control
equipment.
The site chosen for the location of the panel should be clean, dry and not subject to shock or vibration.
Damp, salt air or environments where water ingress or extremes of temperature may affect the panel must
be avoided. The temperature should be in the range -5° to +40°C, and the relative humidity should not
exceed 95%.
Before mounting the cabinet remove the main PCB.
Remove the 6 x M4 nuts & washers securing the PCB. The board can then be carefully lifted off it’s
mounting pillars.
Secure the cabinet to the wall using the four indented holes in the back box. Ensure the box is mounted
level and in a convenient location where it may be easily operated and serviced.
External cables should be glanded via preformed knockouts at the top and rear of the cabinet. Remove
any knockouts and ensure the cabinet is clear of swarf etc prior to retting the PCB. Always ensure that if
a knockout is removed, the hole is lled with a good quality cable gland. Any unused knockouts must be
securely blanked off.
Knockouts should be removed with a sharp tap at the
rim of the knockout using a at 6mm broad bladed
screwdriver.
Use of excessive force will damage the enclosure
around the knockout.

SETUP & PROGRAMMING
REPEATER PANEL SETUP & PROGRAMMING
Up to 8 repeater panels can be supported on a system. The remote display units are fully functional with
‘Silence’ ‘Resound’ and ‘Reset’ controls, as well as Disable and Test Mode functions. It is possible to
disable the controls of each or all repeater panels to make them passive.
Repeater Comms PCB
To run remote display units, a Comms PCB (TPCA05) must be tted to the main control panel.
The Comms PCB ts into the control panel on top of the main circuit board where the ribbon cable from
the display board is normally plugged.
To t the Comms PCB, power down the panel, un-plug the display board ribbon cable from the main circuit
board and plug the Comms PCB into the socket instead.
A socket is provided on the top of the Comms PCB to re-connect the display board ribbon cable.
In order to initialise the Comms PCB in the main control panel the Network/Repeater mode DIL switch,
located on the main circuit board, must be switched to the ON position. For the 16-32 zone size panel this
is switch No. 3. For the 2-12 zone size panels this is switch No. 7. If this has not been set correctly the
‘System Fault’ lamp will be illuminated.
See panel manual for further details of tting a TPCA05, Comms PCB.
Set Number of Repeater Panels
The control panel will need to be programmed for the number of repeater panels on the system. See over
page.
The number of repeater panels on the system is programmed at the main control panel with
Level 3 programming mode active (see panel manual for details of Level 3 programming
mode).
Addressing
Each remote display unit needs to have a seperate address. The addressing is done using the 4 DIL
switches located on the circuit board (labelled SET ADDRESS) using binary code values, see diagram
below.
The address should be set in sequence from 1 - 8, rst display unit = address 01, next unit = address 02
etc. The main control panel should always be address 00 (all switches off).

SETUP & PROGRAMMING
CABLING
The remote display units are designed to be wired in a fault tolerant (fail safe) loop conguration, from
Comms A +/- to Comms B +/- on the next repeater or network panel and so on until returning to Comms B
+/- on the main control panel again (see Fig.1). This enables repeater panels to still work if there is a break
in the cables. Up to 1Km of cable can be used between each repeater. 120R terminating resistors can be
used to reduce interference between each leg of the loop.
Any suitable screened cable can be used or re resistant cable, ‘NoBurn’, FP200 etc.
If replacing an older system where the existing cabling cannot be congured in a loop as shown, it is
possible to re-programme the control panel back to legacy, radial circuit comms monitoring. This then
allows any topology of comms cabling to be utilised (see Fig. 2).
The network comms monitoring type is programmed at the main control panel
with Level 3 programming mode active (see panel manual for details of Level 3
programming mode).

sequential zoning from panel 1 to panel 8 (i.e. potentially from zone 1 to zone 256). When a
network system is powered up the Remote Display Unit will work out the zone sequences
automatically depending on the size of each of the panels on the network and the order they
have been addessed in. e.g. If Panel 1 has 4 zones then the rst zone on Panel 2 will be
reported as Panel 2 Zone 5.
Should this not be required press the ENTER button to change the setting from YES to NO. In
this case the repeater will report the rst zone on panel 2 as Panel 2 Zone 1.
3. Display Panel Names YES/NO. If the network panel names have been programmed the RDU
can be reverted back to display panel numbers again using this option. Press the ENTER
