SigTEL EVCS Typical Wiring Overview

Install the EVCS

Location

Site all equipment indoors in well-lit areas, free from obstruction. Site controllers in the control room or lobby, 1.4

metres above final floor level (FFL). Fit Type A (fire telephone) outstations in fire fighting lobbies and fire access points,

1.3 to 1.4 metres above FFL. Fit Type B (disabled refuge) outstations in disabled refuges, 0.9 to 1.0 metre above FFL.

Mounting

Remove base PCBsbefore first fix installation to protect them and expose the base mounting holes. Wall mount the

controllers, either surface or semi-flush. Fix the base securely onto a wall using No.8 round-head, or countersunk

screws. After mounting, remove any dust/swarf and re-install base PCBs. Ensure all connecting looms are refitted.

6.1

Wiring

See Fig 1 above for cable types. Install wiring in accordance with the relevant national, regional or local regulations (in the UK this is the IEE

Wiring Regs BS 7671 and BS 5839 Part 1. Use enhanced fire-rated cables from the controlller to the Type A & B outstations and the power supply.

Test Extensions

Test all extensions for faults before terminating to the controller using a FITT EVCline tester (see component list above).

CAUTION: DO NOT use an Insulation Resistance Tester with any devicesconnected asthey will be destroyed and the warranty will be void.

Fit Outstations& NC951Interface

Maximum recommended cable distance to the outstations is 1 km, beyond which audio quality may degrade. For wiring and connection

details refer to Type A outstation instructions (Doc. No. DCM0003819) and Type B outstation instructions (Doc. No. DAU0302000).

Connect Extensionsto the Controller

Do not connect extensions to the controller until they have been tested, fault-free and suitable cable glands fitted. Connect extensions

directly to the Master Exchange PCB inside the controller (see Fig 2 left). Connect screens to the earth terminal in the back of the enclosure.

At the controller, with the handset on-hook, select the ‘Edit Phonebook’ option by following the flow chart below. With an operator at the

controller, go to each outstation in turn and make a call. At the controller lift the handset and press the CALL/ACCEPT button. The outstation’s

channel is opened for speech and automatically selected for editing. Check audio quality of the line and inform the operator at the controller

your position. They can edit the outstation name directly (see Naming Extensions below). Repeat this process for all remaining outstations.

Connecting Mainsand Batteries

See Fig 1 overleaf for mains cable type. Connect a 230 Vac supply to the

controller via the bottom right knockouts. Terminate the mains cable at the

Power Supply PCB (plug P2) and NOT to main earth chassis (see Fig 3, right).

For the emergency standby power supply, only use good quality, sealed VRLA

batteries. Position and connect two 12 V, 7 Ah batteries (BC286/2) inside the

controller using the supplied battery connection leads (see Fig 4, far right).
