1. General Information
The manual fire radio channel signaling device RIPR1 (hereinafter referred to as the
device) is designed for operation with control panels “Contact” as a fire alarm device.
When the button is pressed the device generates a fire alarm. Additionally the device
generates and sends to the receiver the following messages:
•low battery signal;
•enclosure break-in alarm.
Receiving these signals by the radio channel receiver “RDK1” changes states of
receiver outputs for a short time (2 sec).
Receiving a signal from the signaling device by control panels causes the panel to
generate an alarm.

To change the device operation mode remove the battery, install
(remove) required jumpers and install the battery back according to
its polarity.

If the device is faulty the indicator blinks red in series of 5 times with 0.5 seconds
interval and the pause of 2 seconds between series.
8. Getting Ready for Operation and Adding to Radio System
1. Open the safety cover, unscrew screws from holes 1, 3, 4 (fig. 5.1), remove the
front panel.
2. Install the battery. The red and green indicators start to alternate in 1 second
indicating the tamper open state. Close the cover. The signaling device goes into
the battery test mode: the indicator glows red for 2 seconds. If the battery had
not been in use for a long time,- it depassivates. The red indicator lights up in
series of flashes (see fig. below) until the battery goes into the normal operation
mode. If the battery remains in this mode longer than 15 minutes it is
recommended to replace it.
After battery test (the battery now operates at its normal voltage) the indicator lights
up red for 4 seconds and then lights up green for 1 second.
If the depassivation has not been performed the red indicator lights up red for 2
seconds and then lights up green for 1 second.
The battery is tested each time the sensor cover is closed!
3. Switch the RIPR1 to the mode of adding to a radio system (see Section 6).
4. Add the device to the radio system according to the manual of the unit the device
is intended to work with. The distance between the added signaling device and
the receiver should be at least 1 m. The figure 7.2 shows this procedure.
5. Switch the RIPR1 to the radio channel test mode (see Section 6).
6. Using visual indicators make sure the message exchange quality in the supposed
installation location is high (fig. 7.4). (2-3 missed responses per 10 sent parcels
are allowed.)
7. Switch the RIPR1 into the standby mode (see Section 6).
8. Control the transmission of the main alarm and the enclosure break-in alarm
using visual and audio indication of the receiving and control device (
indication
modes see in data sheets and manuals for corresponding devices
).

The radio signal strength between the signaling device and the
security and fire alarm panel is determined by the level of signal
attenuation which can be viewed in the configuration software, page
Radio Device Map, upon connection to the panel.
9. Replacing Battery
If necessary clean the bonding pads and replace the battery. During replacing the
battery close the battery contacts for 2 seconds and then install the new battery.
10. Hardware Reset to Factory Settings
Remove the battery from the holders, install the jumpers JMP1 + JMP3 and install
the battery back. Figure 7.3 shows the procedure.
11. Device Installation
Follow Code 5.13130.2009 during deployment and installation of signaling devices.
1. Locate and install signaling devices on the control object according to the
premeditated project.
2. Install signaling devices on a wall surface at a hight of 1.4 - 1.6 meters from the
ground or floor level to the control device and at a distance more than 1 meter
from the radio channel receiver.
Fig. 11.1. Fixing holes for signaling device
3. Do not install signaling devices at locations with possible gas, steam or aerosol
emissions able to cause the corrosion.
4. Mark the signaling device location layout according to the figure 11.1. The figure
5.1 (positions 2, 5) shows the mounting holes in the signaling device enclosure.
5. Remove the battery before mounting the signaling device enclosure base.
6. If the additional ribbon cable is used pull cables along the channel on the rear
side of the enclosure base and connect them to the terminals of the connector
XT1.
7. Lay loops of cable reserves next to terminal connectors so they do not prevent
the installation and be fully covered by the enclosure.
8. Upon the enclosure installation install the battery, the front panel, screw holding
screws in holes 1, 3, 4 (fig. 5.1) and reset the fire alarm button using the
extractor.

9. Seal the enclosure at points indicated on positions 3, 4 (fig. 5.1.). Close the
safety cover and seal the enclosure at the point indicated at the position 6 (fig.
5.1).
10. During construction works the installed signaling devices should be protected
from mechanical damages and ingress of construction materials (whitewash,
paints, cement kiln dust etc.).
12. Maintenance and Safety Measures
During fire alarm system maintenance check signaling device operation on a regular
basis at least once every six months according to the following procedure:
1. Confirm the device is operated in the standby mode, check the corresponding
indication (fig. 7.1.).
2. Remove the seal from the point indicated at the position 6 (fig. 5.1).
3. Open the transparent cover of the signaling device.
4. Press the fire alarm button.
5. Confirm the alarm appearance (fig. 7.1).
6. Confirm the alarm remains after releasing the button.
7. Using the extractor reset the button.
8. Check the normal state of the indication (fig. 7.1).
All installation and maintenance activities applied to the device should be performed
by duly qualified personnel.
13. Transportation and Storage
The device should be properly packed and transported in roofed vehicles. Storage
premises should be free of current-conducting dust, acid and alkaline fumes, corrosive
gases and gases harmful to insulation.
