VT460 / Smoke, humidity, temperature sensor
Physical description
From the picture above:
Temperature & humidity sensor
CAN bus ports
Pinheads (3 pins)
LED (More info in "LEDs section" in the article: )CAN devices connection
Installation procedure
Notes on assembly
It is vital to ensure that the smoke alarm is always assembled with the sensor head pointing downwards. In any other
position, there is no guarantee that smoke will be detected.
The smoke alarm must also be positioned so that it is ventilated with an adequate amount of air and the ventilation
slots are not covered.
Installation with the mounting plate provided
The sensor is installed using the mounting plate provided.
The sensor can not be used on its own. It must be used together with Vutlan monitoring systems.

Uncover the smoke detector head from the base.
Attach smoke sensor base to the mounting plate using the M4 x 10 screws provided.
Replace the sensor head onto the base and secure it by twisting until it locks home.
Secure the mounting plate to the enclosure frame using the 4.8 x 19 screws.
Remove the red protective cap!

Connecting sensor
Connect one end of the RJ11 / RJ12 cable to the monitoring unit CAN port and the other end to any CAN input of smoke
sensor. It is possible to connect up to 10 sensors on one CAN port. To do so connect a new RJ11 cable to a free input of an
already connected smoke sensor and the other end to the next smoke sensor in a chain. See the picture below. RJ11 or RJ12
cable pinouts can be found in the picture below. After the system will start, configure the CAN bus, after configuration, the LED
on the smoke detector will blink dimly once a second.
Using the pictures below, install a jumper on VT460.

a) For all sensors except the last sensor in the chain put "pinhead jumper" on pins: 2 and 3. TR is OFF.
b) For the last sensor in the chain put "pinhead jumper" on pins: 1 and 2. TR is ON.
Connecting CAN sensors
CAN sensors and CAN units connection
Connect CAN devices to any port CAN1 or CAN2 on the monitoring system using a cable supplied. CAN sensors can also
be connected to the port of another CAN sensor or CAN unit which is connected to the CAN bus. Determination of the
devices and their connection is done through a web interface.
The TR should be "ON" for the last sensor on each bus "CAN 1" and "CAN 2". See section "TR" below.
You can connect up to a maximum of x12 CAN sensors and CAN devices together on one CAN bus
(approximately)!
If you want to connect more than x12 CAN units, you need to use CAN-12V-1A / CAN Power Supply

This procedure applies to the following sensors, which are supported by the appliance and are connected to the CAN ports:
CAN sensors, modules:
VT408 / Extension unit
VT430 / Rack control unit
VT440 / Dry contacts unit
VT460 / Smoke, humidity, and temperature...
VT470 / PIR, vibration and temperature sensor
VT490 / Humidity and temperature sensor
and other...
CAN extension unit:
VT408 / Extension unit
Used cable and limit line length
The maximum length of the CAN line in Vutlan monitoring systems is due to limitations on the ohmic resistance of 225 m
cables with RJ12 connectors.
It is advisable to use two or three pairs of cables such as UTP Cat3.5.6 with 24AWG with a copper core. It is possible to use a
4-wire or 6-wire TRONIC or UTP CCA cable, but the maximum CAN line length will be reduced.

Adding CAN modules and sensors
To connect the CAN module or CAN sensor to the CAN bus of the system, go to the interface >> CAN configuration panel >>
Select the CAN1 or CAN2 tab (select the connected physical CAN1 or CAN2 port on the master module).
Click the "Configure" button and wait. The system will start CAN bus polling, soon it will display the data lines and write
“Done!”. The modules and sensors connected to the CAN input will appear in a tab in the list. Click the Apply button and then
Restart.
The green LED " " of the device will light up.CAN status
The last sensor TR switch on a CAN chain must always be terminated, ( switched ON ). Sensors on a CAN bus that is
in the middle should have TR switched OFF.
FR should always be OFF.
TR switch is always the DP switch nearest to the CAN bus.
Only older Vutlan models have an FR switch.

Go to panel "System Tree" to see the new devices or new sensors. The article numbers for CAN devices are VT4xx. If they do
not appear, wait, or refresh.

LEDs
CAN sensors have LEDs that indicate the following states:
Red continuous light, green flickers - no communication with the master module
Red continuous light, green is off - there is a connection with the master unit, but is not included in the monitoring
system (not configured)
Red is off, Green continuously light - work as part of a monitoring system
All LEDs are off: no power or sensor is defective.
Maximum cable length test
Model Description 50m 100m 150m 200m
If after clicking the "Configure" button the poll is reset to the phrase "Update", then the line is not connected or the
terminators on the bus are not agreed. It is necessary to check and change the condition of the (See TR terminators
"TR termination switch" section above) on the modules or check and possibly change the .connection cables
Warning: If the bus is not matched, that is, there are bad contacts or bad cables, or the TR terminator is in the" " ON
position on the intermediate devices (position 2 on the VT408), or the line is too short for matching on both CAN end
devices, CAN on this line can work malfunctioning or the line as a whole may not function. (CAN line failure may occur
if the parallel CR switch is in state 1, must be in OFF).

Testing the smoke sensors
During system operation, take a needle or paper clip and insert it into the hole on the cover of the sensor, try to move it there
until the blinking dimly LED will flash brightly. That means that sensor is in a good state. After inspection, return the sensor /s
to a normal state. To do this, either disconnect them from the system, or in a system interface, go to the smoke sensors tab,
and restart them.
False alarms
Avoid high-frequency noise and the impact of dust on the sensor, the noise and dust cause false alarms.
