NUBI 4.0
Model: NB40F2
Power supply: 12V C
PIR: yes
Thank you for purchasing NUBI 4.0, the intelligent smoke
screen security device able to be connected to any burglar
alarm system in new or existing systems.
OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW
The device is powered from 10V C to 15V C, usually
supplied by the alarm control panel, the consumption is
less than 1mW. NUBI 4.0 does not require any additional
energy from the external power supply when the smoke
cartridge is ignited, as this energy has already been stored
on the motherboard. This ensures the ignition of the
cartridge in any power condition and the guarantee of not
having any overload on the power supply even in case of
simultaneous triggering of many NUBI 4.0 devices.
NUBI 4.0 efficiently protects volumes up to 100 m3. The
smoke generated by NUBI 4.0 is based on incense and
does not produce toxic atmosphere as tested according to
the TLV-STEL directive EU 2017/164 and ACGIH. After use
the room must be ventilated before staying there.
NUBI 4.0 is activated through 3 inputs: one input drives the
immediate emission of smoke, while the other two inputs
realize a triple-consent logic to avoid false alarms. In this
case, to trigger the emission of smoke, it is necessary that
the state of the burglar system is armed, then within a time
window of 15 minutes two other conditions occur:
1) The burglar system goes into alarm
2) The integrated NUBI 4.0 PIR sensor detects movement
At the moment the second condition has been reach, the
smoke will be emitted immediately.
The inputs polarity and logic level can be easily configured
using the IP switches in order to interface NUBI 4.0 with
any burglar panel.
NUBI 4.0 has got two outputs to inform other devices
about alarm state and the detection of the movement by
the PIR. The output logic level can be reversed using IP
switches.
The box opening is detected with a tamper switch, its clean
contact can be connected to the burglar panel.
An optional internal siren can be housed inside the box
and plugged to the proper motherboard connector.
The smoke cartridge works only once, the smoke
emission, when triggered, can no longer be interrupted.
The smoke cartridge replacement is very easy, each spare
cartridge is provided with a special board soldered on its
wires to be easily plugged on the proper motherboard
connector.
INSTALLATION
NUBI 4.0 can be easily installed on the
wall or even in a corner at a height
between 150 and 250 cm.
WARNING
o not insert any obstacle at a distance
of less than 1.5 meters from the smoke
outlet hole.
The best performance is achieved when
the jet of smoke coming out from NUBI 4.0
directly hits the floor, in this way the smoke
will cool and spread better.
After opening the top cover, remove the
motherboard to fix the lower part of the box on the wall.

MAIN CONNECTOR
GN : Ground power supply
+12V: +10..15V C power supply
24H Tamper clear contact
CSI Immediate smoke delivery (INPUT)
SI System state (armed/disarmed) (INPUT)
ALL Alarm (INPUT)
ALL Alarm (OUTPUT)
PIR PIR movement detection (OUTPUT)
UNDERVOLTAGE ROTECTION
NUBI 4.0 is protected against under voltage. When the
power supply falls below the 10V threshold, the smoke
emission will be inhibited.
This function prevents unwanted smoke emissions when
NUBI 4.0 and the alarm panel use the same power supply
and the alarm panel causes unwanted commands due to a
low supply voltage.
This could happen during a power failure that lasts a long
time and drains the battery below the 10V limit.
INPUTS INTERFACE
When the IP Switches 1..4 are set to OFF, NUBI inputs
will become active when switched to GN , as shown in the
following table:
CSI Trigger the smoke delivery when the input is
closed to GN
SI Burglar system armed when the input is closed to
GN , disarmed when opened.
ALL Burglar alarm active when the input is closed to
GN .
With the IP SW1 the inputs reference can be changed
from GN to +12V (+VCC). Using SW2, SW3, SW4 each
input logic can be switched from normally open to normally
closed as shown the following IP Switches functional
table.
In the event that the inputs are not driven with a clean
contact to GN , never appl a voltage higher than
+VCC to the input which would irreversibly damage the
electronic circuit.

DIAGNOSTIC LEDs
iagnostic LE s are active only in test mode.
BLUE NUBI pre-alarm in test mode.
GREEN Flash when the smoke cartridge is triggered.
RE Warnings.
OUTPUTS
ALL output is active for 90 seconds starting from the
beginning of smoke delivery. SW6 sets the output logic,
when use internal siren, set SW6 always to OFF.
PIR output is active for one second each time the PIR
detects movement.
24H output is a clear contact normally closed when the
NUBI 4.0 box is closed, it will open when the box will be
opened. When the SW8 is set to ON, tamper output is
disabled (output is always closed).
PIR RANGE
The picture below shows the PIR range
TEST MODE
Set the IP SW7 to ON to activate the test mode. As soon
as the device enters test mode, all the LE s and the
buzzer will flash 8 times. If the voltage is below 10V, the
red LE and the buzzer will remains ON, otherwise the
green LE will flash one time, then the smoke cartridge
will be tested. When it is empty the red LE and the
buzzer will light up and the green LE on the validation
board will be OFF. When the smoke cartridge is not empty
the green LE on validation board will flash, the test will
continue and the BLUE led will flash slowly, one time each
second, to indicate the test mode is activated.
In test mode, each time the integrated PIR detect
movement, the red LE will flash and the buzzer will
activate for 1 second. When the SI input detects that the
system is armed, one event between the detection of the
PIR movement or the activation of the ALL input will cause
the NUBI 4.0 pre-alarm state for 15 minutes and the blue
LE will flash quickly. When the second alarm event
occurs within the pre-alarm period, the green LE will flash
for 1 second to indicate the simulation of smoke delivery.
If the pre-alarm was caused by the PIR detection, the
alarm confirmation will be due to the activation of the ALL
input. If the pre-alarm was caused by the activation of the
ALL input, the confirmation will occur whit the PIR
detection. In test mode, the smoke cartridge will never be
activated and never the validation card will be damaged.
Remember to activate the operating mode (DIP SW7
OFF) at the end of testing.
SMOKE CARTRIDGE REPLACEMENT
When a smoke cartridge is empty, it must be replaced with
a new one. The smoke cartridge is supplied with the
validation card welded to the ends of the wires. Only in test
mode (SW7 ON) the green LE on validation board will
flash when the cartridge is full, OFF when it is empty and
needs to be replaced.
Remove the power suppl and wait at least 3
minutes before replacing the smoke cartridge.
1) Remove from the motherboard the old validation
card soldered onto the wires of the empty smoke
cartridge.
2) Insert the new validation card soldered onto the
wires of the new cartridge.
Commissioning
We advise to perform a test (see previous chapter Test
mode) before perform a definitive commissioning of the
device. Set the IP SW7 to OFF to switch in operating
mode. We advise to remove the adhesive that protects
smoke exit hole of the smoke cartridge.
WARNING PROCEDURE TO PREVENT SMOKE
EMISSION AT THE POWER UP
uring the first 30 minutes after power the device, there
is a special function to prevent unwanted smoke
emissions, for example due to wiring errors.
When the smoke activation condition occurs during this
time, instead of immediately emitting smoke, a warning
procedure starts and the buzzer emits an intermittent
sound for 120 seconds and the red LE flashes.
It will be possible to stop the activation by opening the
box and setting the IP SW7 to ON or, in case of
difficulty, it will also be possible to unplug the smoke
cartridge validation card from the motherboard.
If this warning procedure is not interrupted, at the end of
the 120 seconds we will have the emission of smoke.
Each time this warning procedure is activated, the 30-
minute timer is regenerated to allow an additional 30
minutes of test time.
