LNI 2000 Installation Manual 12

Note: Use These Instructions for ULC Installations
Step One: Mount The LNI 2000
Note: Mounting may be done after the
wiring of the LNI 2000 is complete,
depending on the enclosure configuration.
Refer to CAN/ULC-S559-04
specifications for more information.
1. Remove the knockout located to the right of the “Jack” port at the front of
the LNI 2000. Insert the included grommet.
2. Mount the LNI 2000 to the mounting plate, using two (2) screws through
the mounting holes as shown. The LNI 2000 is sized to accept #6 screws
(maximum).
3. Remove the terminal strip by removing screw located at the rear of the cran-
berry terminal strip cover, and lifting cover straight up. For more informa-
tion about removing the terminal strip cover, see Removing and Replacing
the Terminal Strip Cover on page 57.
4. Thread a tie-down through the loop inside the terminal strip.
2. Mounting the LNI 2000
LNI 2000 Installation Manual
WARNING
A mounting screw coming in
contact with a live electrical
wire could result in serious
injury or death, cause
significant property
damage, and/or bring about a
circumstance that could, in the future,
cause serious injury or death or serious
property damage.
CAUTION
Improper removal of the
terminal strip cover or
knockout could cause
serious, irreparable damage
to the LNI 2000, including
damage to the tamper
switch.
CAUTION
Do not remove the LNI
2000’s rubber feet prior to
installation. Removal of
these feet will make it very
difficult to remove terminal
strip access panel
without damage to the terminal strip and
tamper switch when the LNI is mounted.

Note: Use These Instructions for ULC Installations
Step Two: Conne t To Power
Note: The LNI 2000 uses approximately 100 milliamp while idle
and 300 milliamp while transmitting, under maximum load, and is
powered through the alarm panel.
Note: Use 2-conductor wire, not less than 22 AWG and not more
than 16 AWG.
Note: All wiring shall be in accordance with C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code, art 1, Safety Standard for Electrical Installations.
Note: LoBenn recommends powering the LNI 2000 from the panel
to take advantage of the standby power of the panel. LoBenn also
recommends use of the terminal strip to reduce the possibility of
accidental disconnection.
Note: To be ULC-S559 compliant the LNI must be powered directly
by a listed fire alarm panel (typically 24 Vdc) or a ULC listed U S
(Uninterruptible ower Supply).
1. Make wiring connections as shown in the wiring diagram on the next
page.
2. For ease of installation, connect the 20K resistor between pins #4 and #13
now. This resistor is required to establish a tamper circuit. For more
information, see Step Five: Connect To Panel on page 22 (This resistor
may be pre-installed.)
Note: The addition of a 20K resistor between terminals #4 and #13
in the LNI 2000 terminal strip will establish a line detection circuit
for panels with line seizure capability. When the circuit between the
alarm panel and the LNI 2000 is broken, the Tip/Ring circuit shorts
to the T1/R1 state. The 20K resistor senses this short, triggering an
alarm. This capability is necessary for ULC approval.
3. Replace the terminal strip cover.
Note: Ensure polarity is correct. The LNI does not work if polarity is
reversed.

Note: Use These Instructions for ULC Installations
Step Three: Program the LNI 2000
Note: The LNI 2000 may be pre-programmed prior to installation. To pre-
program, power the LNI 2000 with a listed 12V DC adapter plugged into
the ower port on the front of the LNI 2000.
1 Connect the LNI 2000 to a C through the “Local” port.
2 Open a web browser. Type 172.21.32.43 into the browser address bar. This
I address is shown on the LNI 2000 label on the underside of the LNI
2000. An initial password screen will display.
3 Enter the UserName “admin” and the assword “admin”.
4 The LoBenn LNI Configuration screen will display.

Note: Use These Instructions for ULC Installations
5 Configure the LNI 2000 by entering the values specified by the work order
into the appropriate boxes on the LoBenn LNI Configuration screen. Save
the settings by clicking “Submit.” See pages 35-37 for more information.
Note: To be ULC CAN/ULC-S559-04 compatible, the
communication trouble alarm time programmed during this step must
not exceed the maximum of 90 seconds. LoBenn recommends a
setting of 90 seconds.
Note: To be ULC CAN/ULC-S559-04 compatible, the Tamper
Switch Enable must be set to use the Tip/Ring method. This is
applicable for panels/dialers such as the GE Fireshield series which
have the following characteristics:
•There is no dedicated tamper circuit between the panel/dialer and
the LNI
•The Tip/Ring wires are shorted to the T1/R1 leads respectively
when the dialer is on hook.
6 To change the LNI 2000 password, click on Change assword on the upper
right hand corner of the LoBenn LNI Configuration screen.
Note: For security reasons, LoBenn Inc. recommends changing the
password after the LNI has been configured.
7 The Change LNI Login assword screen will display. Type your new pass-
word into the appropriate box. Retype the password to confirm it. Click
Submit to submit the new password.
Note: This new password should be specified on the work order. If
the new password is not specified on the work order it should be
reported to the appropriate personnel. LoBenn Inc. is not responsible
for any loss, damage or inconvenience resulting from misplacing,
mis-communicating or otherwise not recording this password.

3 After resetting the UserName and assword to the factory defaults, type
172.21.32.43 and proceed as described in oints 1 through 7 of this Step to
re-configure the LNI 2000 to your new settings, as specified on the work or-
der.
Note: After resetting to the factory defaults, the UserName and
assword are both “admin.”
4 Disconnect cables when the programming is complete.

Step Four: Conne t To Internet
CAUTION
Movement, contact with water, accidental contact with other live power sources and
accidental disconnection of the LNI 2000 after installation could cause serious damage
or malfunction to the unit.
Accidental or intentional disconnection of the LNI 2000, modem, or router will trigger a
fall back to the voice phone line, if present, and a communication trouble alarm at the
monitoring centre.
Note: If the distance from the mounting location of the LNI 2000 to
the network router is greater than the provided CAT 5 cable (6 feet),
a longer CAT 5 cable (up to 100 metres/328 feet) may be used.
1. Connect the LNI 2000 to the router, using the LNI 2000 “Internet” port. Do
not connect to the router’s “Internet” port. “
2. Once the cable is connected, verify that the LED on the “Internet” port and
the I Link LED are lit.
4. Connect to Inte net
Note: To be ULC CAN/ULC-S304-06 compatible, network access
and domain access policies shall be set to restrict unauthorized
network access and “spoofing” or “denial of service” attacks.
