SYSTEM SENSOR R5A-RF Radio Call Point Installation Guide

Batteries should only be installed at the time of commissioning.
Do not mix batteries from different manufacturers. When changing
the batteries, all 4 will need to be replaced.

Device Removal:

An alert message is signalled to the CIE via the gateway when
the call point is removed from its backplate.

Removing the Call Point From the Backplate:

Remove the 5 screws from the call point. With two hands, grip
both sides of the call point. Pull the lower portion of the call
point away from the wall, then pull and twist the top of the call
point to release it fully from the base.

Note:

The O-ring should be replaced when refitting or replacing the
waterproof cover. The use of lubricants, cleaning solvents or
petroleum-based products should be avoided.

FAQ:

Q: What type of batteries should be used with the device?

A: The device requires 4 X Duracell Ultra123 or Panasonic
Industrial 123 batteries.

Q: What is the battery life of the device?

A: The battery life is 4 years at 25oC.

Q: What is the recommended range for effective
communication?

A: The device has a typical range of 500m in free air.

DESCRIPTION

The R5A-RF radio call point is a battery operated RF device designed for use with the M200G-RF radio gateway, running on an addressable fire system (using a compatible proprietary communication protocol).
It is a waterproof manual call point, combined with a wireless RF transceiver and fits onto a wireless backplate.
This device conforms to EN54-11 and EN54-25. It complies with the requirements of 2014/53/EU for conformance with the RED directive.

INSTALLATION

This equipment and any associated work must be installed in accordance with all relevant codes and regulations.

Figure 1 details the installation of the backplate.

Spacing between radio system devices must be a minimum of 1m

Set the loop address on the call point – see section below.

Figure 2 details the battery installation and the location of the address switches.
Important
Batteries should only be installed at the time of commissioning

Warning

Observe the battery manufacturer’s precautions for use

and requirements for disposal. Possible explosion

risk if incorrect type is used.

Do not mix batteries from different manufacturers. When changing the batteries, all 4 will need to be replaced.

Using these battery products for long periods at temperatures below -20°C can reduce the battery
life considerably (by up to 30% or more)

Screw the backplate into position on the wall using the fixing holes provided. Ensure that the O-ring seal is correctly seated in the channel on the rear of the device. Place the call point squarely over the backplate and carefully push the device until the locating clips have engaged.
Fit and tighten the screws provided into the 5 screw holes (2 on the top and 3 on the underside of the call point) to ensure the unit is fixed to the backplate (see figure 3 overleaf).
Device Removal Warning – An alert message is signalled to the CIE via the gateway when the call point is removed from its backplate.
Removing the Call Point From the Backplate
Remove the 5 screws (2 on the top and 3 on the underside) from the call point (see Figure 3). With two hands, grip both sides of the call point. Pull the lower portion of the call point away from the wall, then pull and twist the top of the call point to release it fully from the base. Note: If the back plate has been fitted onto a call point (but not to a wall) it may be helpful to release the lower part of the call point as shown in Figure 4.
The O-ring should be replaced when refitting or replacing the waterproof cover. The use of lubricants, cleaning solvents or petroleum based products should be avoided.

SETTING THE ADDRESS
Set the loop address by turning the two rotary decade switches on the rear of the call point below the battery tray (see figure 2a), using a screwdriver to rotate the wheels to the desired address. The call point will take one module address on the loop. Select a number between 01 and 159 (Note: The number of addresses available will be dependent on panel capability, check the panel documentation for information on this).
LED INDICATORS

Call Point status LEDs

The radio call point has a three colour LED indicator that shows the status of the device:

Call Point Status Power-on initialisation (no fault)
Fault Un-commissioned Sync Normal

LED State Long Green pulse
3 Green blinks
Blink Amber every 1s. Red/Green double-blink every 14s (or just Green when communicating). Green/Amber double-blink every 14s (or just Green when communicating). Controlled by panel; can be set to Red ON, periodic blink Green or OFF.

Meaning Device is un-commissioned (factory default)
Device is commissioned
Device has an internal trouble
Device is powered and is waiting to be programmed. Device is powered, programmed and trying to find/join the RF network.
RF communications is established; device is working properly.

Idle (low power mode) Amber/Green double-blink every 14s

Commissioned RF network is in standby; used when the gateway is powered off.
