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 PCBs before 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 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 EVC line tester (see component list above). CAUTION: DO NOT use an Insulation Resistance Tester with any devices connected as they will be destroyed and the warranty will be void. Fit Outstations & NC951 Interface 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 Extensions to 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. 8 x Extensions from Outstations & NC951 16 x Extensions from Outstations & NC951 L1 L2 + - + - L3 L4 + - + - L5 L6 + - + - L7 L8 + - + - N/O C N/C 0V +24 OP3 OP2 OP1 I/P A I/P B I/P C + - + - + - All screens connect to Earth terminal ECU-16 Master Exchange PCB C D B L9 L10 + - + - L11 L12 + - + - L13 L14 + - + - L15 L16 + - + - C L1 L2 + - + - L3 L4 + - + - L5 L6 + - + - L7 L8 + - + - N/O C N/C 0V +24 OP3 OP2 OP1 I/P A I/P B I/P C + - + - + - All screens connect to Earth terminal ECU-8 or ECU-8NT Master Exchange PCB B C Fig 2 7 4 11 13.1 SigTEL EVCS Components 12 Fig 1 Part No. Description ECU-4 4 Line Master EVC Controller c/w handset & display, requires two 12 V 7 Ah batteries ECU-8 8 Line Master EVC Controller c/w handset & display, requires two 12 V 7 Ah batteries ECU-16 16 Line Master EVC Controller c/w handset & display, requires two 12 V 7 Ah batteries ECU-8NT 8 Line Master EVC Controller (no handset) c/w display, requires two 12 V 7 Ah batteries EVC302F/GF Disabled Refuge (Type B) Outstation, flush mounting, stainless steel (‘G’ - Green fascia) EVC302S/GS Disabled Refuge (Type B) Outstation, surface mounting, stainless steel (‘G’ - Green fascia) EVC301RPO Red Fire Telephone (Type A) Outstation c/w handset (push to open) EVC301RLK Red Fire Telephone (Type A) Outstation c/w handset (lift lock) BF359/1 Weatherproof enclosure for EVC302F/GF BF359/3D Stainless steel enclosure for controller (ECU-4 / ECU-8 / ECU-16) NC951 Disabled Persons Toilet Alarm (DPTA) FITT EVC Line Tester BC286/2 24 V 7 Ah battery (2 x 12 V) used with controller (ECU-4 / ECU-8 / ECU-16 / ECU-8NT) AFP385 Grey flush bezel for controller (ECU-4 / ECU-8 / ECU-16 / ECU-8NT) T-BEZ301 Red flush bezel for EVC301RPO and EVC301RLK ECU423 PC programming software
