FIREscape System Installation Manual

Page 7 of 56 1 Introduction FIREscape is an addressable intelligent emergency lighting single point system that utilizes LED technology and low voltage SHEILDED cabling. The system is fully monitored and is controlled using up to 8 keypads (EL- KP) per system and / or PC interface The system monitors every mains lighting circuit by use of a phase monitor. This device triggers the initial signal of 240v power loss to a mains lighting circuit via its communications line interfaced to the EL2 emergency lighting control panel. The EL2 control panel is powered by a Mains Transformer (EL 35V) that takes the 240v input from the mains supply and converts it to 35V 220VA Each EL2 panel runs 2 x 40v digital communications lines with each line having a capacity of up to 127 devices or 254 per panel which can consist of a mixture of Emergency exit lights, exit signs and I/O modules. (max and min line population is ascertained by use of a line calculator) All luminaires are intelligent and given an address on the system to be easily identified. This address consists of a line number and a device number. The Hochiki FIREscape range includes 16 meter to 24-meter range of emergency exit signs with the ability to be either wall or ceiling mounted, single sided or double sided. The emergency escape luminaires also come in various transverse C0 and longitudinal C90 planes to best suit building specific applications including a high powered option. All emergency escape luminaires and exits signs are intelligent and equipped with an integral battery which once fully charged will allow the luminaire/sign to operate for a minimum of 3 hours under a mains power failure. All luminaires and signs fit onto a Hochiki EL-TSB magnetic test switch base for easy installation and local operation. The Hochiki FIREscape emergency lighting and exit system has an automatic testing facility performed weekly in accordance with AS2293 and a manual test facility that continuously monitors battery and luminaire performance that can be controlled through the systems keypad The Hochiki FIREscape emergency lighting system has the ability to interface to third party products and available with a graphics package

Page 8 of 56 2 Overview This guide covers the installation of the FIREscape system featuring the EL-2 Emergency Lighting Control Panel Figure 1 - FIREscape System 3 Standards The system implements device tests, fault monitoring and reporting conformant to Australian standards AS2293. 3.1 Cables and Cable Screen The cable type must be shielded cable. All calculations in this guide use a 1.5mm² conductor diameter and. The insulation resistance between the conductors and building earth must be >1 M. If the insulation resistance is smaller, uncontrolled ground currents will transfer to the system and cause interference. Problems are caused, for example, when the shield cable is terminated to metal installation boxes, which are bonded to the building earth. All shield cables must be connected to the control panel housing. Similarly, the shield cable at the keypad end must be connected to connector pin S (shield). The shield cable must have continuity via the connection point of each mounting base on the lighting lines. The cable between the transformer and the control panel must be of the MSK 2 x 1mm type. The cable must be less than 1m long. The cable is delivered with the control panel.

FIREscape System Installation Manual

NOTE: The aperture at the bottom of the housing is for the transformer cable. The apertures at the top of the housing are for other cables. Figure 4 - Measuring Insulation Resistance The insulation resistance is measured for each conductor, including the shield, against the building earth. The insulation resistance must be >1 MΩ. After this, the cable shield can be connected to the shield connection, see Figure 4 on page 9. 5 EL-KP Keypad 5.1 Overview EL-KP keypad(s) are used to control and interact with the emergency lighting system. A maximum of 8 keypads can be connected to the system. The keypads are rear entry only by connection and connect directly to the CPN serial communication port of the motherboard. A 4 core cable plus SHEILD is required for the connection of a keypad to the control panel. The keypad can be powered directly from a local power supply or the control panel’s auxiliary supply. The local power supply must be double-insulated without need for grounding and must have battery backup. When using any other type of power supply, the RS485 traffic between the control panel and the keypad must be isolated with the EL-ISOL. NOTE: When using separate power supplies without the EL-ISOL card, the negative leads of the power supplies must be connected with the negative leads of the control panel. Page 11 of 56

This is because the negative (-) pin of the RS-232 connector is usually connected to shield ground. The connection must be arranged through a local modem or the EL-ISOL unit if the RS-232 device and the control panel are not connected to the same power supply group. Usually this means the same room. In no instance should the cable length without local modem exceed 20 m. PC SERIAL PORT

Page 22 of 56 10 Addressable Emergency Lighting Lines 10.1 Principle The system luminaires and interfaces are intelligent units equipped with their own batteries (luminaires) and have addresses. The control panel polls the units at approximately 0.75 s intervals per address. All units in the bus (127 devices max) are polled in <100 s. The luminaires also work standalone if the control panel cable breaks. The luminaires are installed using the Hochiki EL-TSB base. The factory default address of all luminaires is 127. The luminaires must be programmed with the TCH- B200 programming device before installation onto the mounting base. The maximum length of each lighting line is 1 km, and the maximum loop resistance of the conductors is 74 Ω. The cable’s conductor capacitance must be <0.7 µF. The power consumption also restricts the cable distance. A maximum of 127 units can be connected to a single lighting line depending on the power consumption of the unit. 10.2 Mounting Base (EL-TSB) The mounting base required for the luminaires is the Hochiki EL-TSB standard mounting base. NOTE: The alignment ‘rib’ on the mounting base must face at a 90° angle in relation to the exit direction. The base has slight adjustment margin for this angle. Use a template when drilling.  All devices must be installed on an even surface so that they will not distort.  The bases can be wall or ceiling mounted.  The bases should be fixed with appropriate size and type screws for the intended fixing surface.  To avoid damage to the base do not over-tighten the fixing screws.

Page 36 of 56 13 EL-IO Module The EL-IO is an input/output unit. The unit has 4 inputs and 2 outputs. A maximum of 16 units can be connected to the FIREscape EL2 control panel. The unit requires an address on the lighting line. The address is set with the unit’s DIL switches. EL-IO – The 4 volt free inputs can be used to interface with third party devices ie switches, motion sensors and phase monitors, for example. Each input can be programmed as N/O (normally open) or N/C (normally closed). The EL-IO can be configured in the following 2 options: 4 x Un monitored NO / NC inputs or 2 x Monitored NO / NC inputs EL-IO – The 2 outputs can be used to control traditional luminaires and can be activated using the system cause and effect programming. The output state is shown with a green LED (“OUT1/OUT2”). If an output is activated, the LED is illuminated. NOTE: These are electronic output contacts with a resistance value. When using to switch DC Voltage allow for Voltage drop. It is possible to show the polling of the unit’s address with the green “POL” LED. The LED flashes when the unit is polled. 13.1 Address Switches Figure 9 - Address Switches

Page 38 of 56 14 EL-EXP Expansion Unit The EL-EXP connectivity card is used for expanding the serial ports of the EL-2 control panel. The EL- EXP unit provides two additional ports, SER1 and SER2. The EL-EXP is connected to the control panel with the flat cable supplied with the card. The card is connected to the top right corner of the control panel housing with the supplied plastic supports. For the EL-EXP unit to work, the HHL-SER chip supplied with the unit must be installed in the control panel in the corresponding place, see Figure 20. The control panel must be powered off (mains and battery; you must wait until the CPN led turns off) before installing the chip. Note the orientation of the chip - the groove must point to the right toward the SER1+2 connector. The card has 2 serial communication ports, which can be configured either as RS-232 or RS-485 ports. The selection of the port’s serial communication format is done by setting all jumpers (4) that refer to the port (A or B) to the 232 setting (for RS-232) or 485 (for RS-485). The port will not work unless all of the jumpers (4) are either in the 232 or 485 position. The LEDs on the card can be used for checking the functionality of the serial communication; ATX (port A transmit), ARX (port A receive), BTX (port B transmit) and BRX (port B receive). NOTE: The 12V voltage output on the card is intended only for the EL-ISOL card. PORT A of the EL- EXP card refers to port SER1 when programming the control panel’s serial communication port. Similarly, PORT B refers to port SER2.

Page 41 of 56 16 Cabling Length 16.1 Illumination Points The voltage level of the control panel’s line out is approximately 39 V (high bit) or 34 V (low bit). The FIREscape device’s minimum line voltage is 24 V, which means that 15 V can be dropped through the cable. The current load for each line is 2.5 A. For exit route down lighters, the load on the line depends on the set normal light level Luminaires take power from their own batteries whenever they are activated. The power consumption of the luminaires is presented in the technical specifications section (see “Technical Specifications” on page 46). For cabling, the luminaires’ power consumption is divided into units of 50 mW each. The power requirement unit is referred to in this manual as an “NU”. The cabling examples use a 1.5mm² The number of necessary conductor pairs can be derived from the power consumption of the luminaire points and the cable length. 16.2 Using the Cabling Recommendations Graphs  Calculate the power consumption units.  Estimate/measure the distance to the last luminaire point.  Check the intersecting item in the graph.  If the intersection item is in between the curves, the number of conductor pairs must be selected according to the higher curve.

Page 45 of 56 Multi-Storey Building Devices per Storey This is a 4-storey building. The surface area of a floor is 40 x 70 m. The distance between the floors is 5 m. EL-2 control panel, using lines A and B. 7 pcs EL-16-AS16m signs @10NU 48 pcs EL-DL2-AS safety lights @4NU. Total power requirement: 262NU/floor. Because of the number of luminaires, both A and B lines must be used. In the floors the cabling is done by taking the cable through the length of the floor and branching there to different spaces. The distance to the furthest luminaire is approximately 20 + 70 m = 90 m. The riser cable between the floors conveys twice the number of power units compared to the floor. Because the riser is rather short, this is not of real significance. Considering this, we can inspect each floor as a separate cable, noting that the total power consumption does not exceed the maximum. The cable parameters graph shows that the 262NU power requirement of the floor allows for full 1000 m cable. Because the distance to the fourth floor is 105 m, we can do the cabling with a single conductor pair KLMA 2x 0.8 + 0.8. Figure 24

Page 46 of 56 16.5 Other Devices The minimum operating voltage of the control panel’s voltage outputs is 10.0 V. When supplying external devices from the EL-2 Control Panel power supply, note the minimum operating voltage of the devices and their maximum power consumption. Also the position of the devices on the cable is important: are the devices equally distributed throughout the length of the cable or only at the end of the cable? Estimate the cabling requirement by checking the minimum operating voltages of the devices. Try to locate the device that requires the greatest voltage at the beginning of the cable. If the cable has devices operating at different minimum operating voltages, the cabling can be calculated by estimating each device separately. However, you need to know the total power consumption of the cable. The cable type is MHS (188 Ω/km). Example 1 2 pcs EL-KP, maximum current requirement 60 mA, minimum operating voltage 8 V. Distance to the first EL-KP keypad is 50 m. Distance to the last EL-KP keypad is 200 m. The current in the cable between the device x, EL-KP 1, and the control panel is a maximum of 60 + 60 mA = 120 mA. The voltage requirement is 8 V. Figure 25 The graph shown in Figure 29 on page 42 indicates that one conductor pair can supply the voltage to the keypad.

Page 57 of 56 19 Troubleshooting 19.1 RS-485 Data Connection Serial Port communications are indicated via LEDs; red (data receive) and green (data send). When the red LED is flashing, the unit is receiving data. This does not mean that the unit understands the data. Not understanding the data may result from potential difference between the components. When using separate power sources, these should be protectively isolated (not grounded). Cabling should also be supplied so that the negative pin is connected between devices (in problem cases using several conductors). When the red LED is continuously on, it usually means that conductors A and B are reversed. Change the polarity of conductors A and B. The data connection can be checked with an LED without a limiting resistor. The LED is connected to the line instead of the unit. Connect the LED between wires A and B; the LED should flash. Reverse the LED polarity; connect it between wires A and B; the LED should flash. If the LED does not flash, check the cable for faults. 19.2 Ground Leakage 19.2.1 Interference with Keypad Data Line Interference could suggest there may be earth leakage. The system must be grounded only at one point. When a grounding point from an RS-232-connected device (such as a PC) is present, this must be located in the same power phase as the control panel. In other cases, the RS-232 device(s) must be isolated from the control panel with an isolator card. Measure the earth leakage by disconnecting the directly-connected RS232 device(s) from the system. After this, use a voltmeter in the DC range and measure each connection point against building earth. The meter must show 0V. 19.3 Luminaire Line 19.3.1 Supply Current The current can be determined with a voltmeter in the DC range in line + and – of the luminaire mounting base. The voltage must be between 40 V and 20 V depending on the load. If the voltage is over 0 V but under 20 V, the line is overloaded. The overload can result from cabling error (insufficient number of conductor pairs). The overload can also result from excessive normal-state light levels of exit signs. The luminaires’ power consumption and, therefore the voltage loss, in the cable depends on the luminaires’ light level/intensity. If the voltage is 0 V, there is a break/short/overload that has blown the control panel’s line fuse. Measure the cable for shorts. Check the line power units. 19.3.2 Line Data Communication With the control panel programmed to communicate with only a specific address, for example, 127 (factory setting for luminaire), attach a EL-DL2-AS, set to address 127 and with a battery connected, to the first luminaire base in the wiring sequence. By going through the system with a lit safety light you can determine if data communication works. Attach the lit safety light to the base; the light should turn off in a couple seconds. The light should blink once

Page 58 of 56

FIREscape System Installation Manual after approximately 5 s. After the blink, the line has been tested for that address. Remove the safety light and move to the next base and repeat the above process for each luminaire base. 19.3.3 Double Address Detection If the EL-KP key pad reports a double address, it means that more than one device is using the same address. The luminaires are supplied already set to address 127. You need to program the luminaires with unique addresses before installing. Failure to do this will result in a double-address situation. Luminaires with a double address can be located, for example by setting them active or blinking etc. In a double address situation one address is also missing, for example, has the same address as another unit.
