Preface
This is the first issue of the Commissioning instructions for the
Mains Powered Distributed Amplifier Unit. The manual covers
information on how to commission the unit.
These instructions must be read in conjunction with the
recommendations in BS5839: Part 8, which is the Code of
practice for the design, installation and servicing of voice alarm
systems and BS5839: Part 1,which is the Code of practice for
Fire detection and alarm systems for buildings and site specific
Project requirement.

Mains Powered DAU Commissioning process
Carry out to ensure the installation is to site specific requirements
and to the relevant standards and as per installation guidelines.
Initial checks
Ensure all the are securely fitted and all internal cables are
connected to their intended sockets.
internal parts
Ensure that the are connected to their respective sockets
on the MCB, see page 7.
transformer cables
Ensure cables of are connected to their designated terminal
blocks on the MCB, see page 8.
external circuits
Check each and ensure the measurements are
consistent with the number of End-of-Line resistors fitted, see page 9. If required
connect a Test microphone.
speaker circuit resistance
Connect the batteries and switch ON the mains supply to power up the Mains
Powered DAU, see page11 and page 12. Observe power up indications.
Conduct a and ensure all the LEDs on the Main Powered DAU facia and
local buzzer are working, see page 15.
lamp test
If necessary during commissioning the Mains Powered DAU you can disable the
.local buzzer
It is VERY important to ensure the local buzzer is re-enabled on
leaving site and on completion of commissioning work.
Resolve any given and ensure the Mains DAU is fault free,
see pages 17 to 19.
fault indications
Ensure the location of all the Mains Powered DAUs in the Vigilon Compact VA system
are known and are fitted in accordance with the ‘as fitted wiring drawings’, use the
function at the Vigilon Compact VA panel to find each
Mains Powered DAU, see page 20.
Find Device
Carry out to ensure faults are indicated at the Main Powered DAU,
see page 21.
initial tests

How to check a Speaker Circuit resistance
To avoid a speaker circuit mismatch fault it is a good idea to check the speaker circuit resistance.
&Before checking the speaker circuit resistance always ensure the Mains Powered DAU is powered
down with mains supply switched OFF and battery supply disconnected.
Then using a suitable multimeter measure the speaker circuit resistance. Ensure the measured resistance reflect the number of
End-of-line (EOL) resistors connected on a speaker circuit. If there are differences then ensure the error is corrected. Note the
number of EOL resistors fitted to each speaker circuit, this information is required for entry into the Commissioning tool later.
On completion of measurement tests reconnect the terminal block to the Main Control Board (MCB).

How to wire and configure a Test Microphone
A hand-held test microphone can be connected to the Mains Powered DAU to allow local speaker circuits to be tested. A suitable test
microphone such as SHURE model number 596LB can be connected to the MCB.
Wiring a local test microphone
Commissiong tool settings
During system commissioning ensure the settings at the Commissioning tool are configured for a local microphone at eachMains
Powered DAU. Ensure the Local MIC option is unchecked.
Set the Local MIC2audio priority is set to 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 by clicking on the required radio button:
If required, the 'Mains DAU Aux Relay' can be checked to allow the local microphone operation to switch the auxiliary relay.
MCB settings
Ensure the link P11 on the MCB is configured to ENABLE when there is a local test microphone connected to terminal block PB9.

aEnsure the battery lead is connected to the batteries kin the manner illustrated below.
bEnsure the batteries are fitted inside the enclosure in front of the transformers.
cEnsure the end connector jon the battery lead is fitted to socket P7 on the PSU.
"The panel makes use of sealed lead acid type batteries which can have a useful life of up to 5 years from the
date of manufacture. It is strongly recommended that batteries are replaced after 4 years of use. Batteries must be
disposed of as per recommendation made by battery manufacturer.
&Always use the recommended replacement battery, as there is a risk of an explosion if incorrect
batteries are used.

Mains supply
"
The fire alarm system products are NOT designed to be powered from IT Power systems.
All mains powered equipment of the fire alarm system must be earthed.
The mains supply to any Mains Powered DAU must be via an unswitched 5A fused spur unit. A disconnect device must be provided
to disconnect both poles and must have a minimum gap of 3mm. The Disconnect device should be available as part of the building
installation and must be easily accessible after installation is complete.
The fused spur isolator cover should be marked:
FIRE ALARM - DO NOT SWITCH OFF
&Hazardous voltage remains after operation of a protection fuse. Take appropriate action to guard
against the risk of equipment having exposed live mains supply.
&Ensure that the mains supply cable enters the enclosure through a dedicated cable entry, located
adjacent to the mains terminal block and that is also segregated from loop wiring.
Indications following Power up
The indications shown below are those given once the Mains Powered DAU has fully powered up and the unit is in a quiescent
condition and is fault free:

How to conduct a lamp test
All the LEDs on the Mains Powered DAU door and the local buzzer inside the unit can be tested by conducting a lamp test.
How to disable the local buzzer
The local buzzer provides audible indications of Mains Powered DAU system fault events. During commissioning it may be
necessary to temporarily disable the local buzzer by configuring a switch on the HMI Board. The switch is located on the inside of the
door.
&Always re-enable the buzzer at the end of the commissioning process before leaving site for normal
operation of the Mains Powered DAU.

How to reset All Faults
All fault indications at the Mains Powered DAU which are either latched faults or non-latched faults can be cleared by pressing the
reset push button on the Main Control Board. This will erase the fault indications at the Mains Powered DAU, reactivate the local fault
relay and stop the local fault buzzer from sounding. If the fault should still remain then the indications will reappear after a few
minutes.
How to 'Find' Mains Powered DAUs on a loop
If you need to know the address(es) of the Mains Powered DAU(s) on a loop circuit, then go to the Vigilon Compact VA panel and
carry out a Find Device test. It is made easier if there are two people in communication with each other, while one person walks
around the site and follow the devices as per As fitted wiring drawings, the other person operates the panel controls.
The following procedure assumes no password access is required at the Vigilon Compact VA panel:
aPress the Menu On/Off button and then [Test/Eng] ->[Loop] ->[Find Dev], now enter a CARD number n to select the loop
circuit on which the Mains Powered DAU(s) are located, then select the [Start] option and type in a device number, if known, or
as an alternative enter device number 1 and select [Enter]. The display shows the device and loop numbers:
Number 1 on Loop 1
bSelect [Next] to find the next device on the loop if starting from address 1. At any stage if the previous device needs to be found
then select [Previous].
A found device will give a visual or audible indication and at the Mains Powered DAU there will be a flashing green LED on the
MCB.
