1.6 IDENTIFICATION DATA
The unit described in this manual has, on its side, an ID plate showing all the relevant identification data:
- Name of Manufacturer
- Code of the UNIT
- Serial number
- IP protection rating
- Power supply voltage
1.7 DESCRIPTION OF SYSTEM
The purpose of this safety system is to allow a person trapped inside the cold room to activate an acoustic/luminous alarm located outside the room and so request help. The system has been designed to function even in the event of a temporary mains power failure: in this event the system is powered by a buffer battery housed in the external unit. It conforms to the UNI EN 378-1: 2016, applicable to cold rooms at negative temperatures and with a volume greater than 10 m³.
The system consists of the following parts:
- Emergency pushbutton to be fitted inside the cold room.
Consists of a luminous mushroom-type button with N.C. contact. The pushbutton is permanently lit by LEDs so that it can be located in the dark. - Acoustic/visual alarm control unit to be fitted outside the cold room.
Features a siren and flashing light and a buffer battery to provide power in the event of a black-out. There is also a clean contact (closed with alarm on) that can be used to activate other devices such as a remote warning dialler or additional sirens.
Connection between the two devices – consisting of a lead laid by the installer as per the wiring diagram – is ensured by the system safety logic. Should the lead be cut or disconnected the alarm will be activated immediately.
CHAPTER 2: INSTALLATION
2.1 INSTALLING THE OUT-OF-ROOM ALARM CONTROL UNIT
- Unscrew the 4 locking screws on the front.
- Use the three existing holes to fix the box back panel to the wall: use three screws of a length suitable for the thickness of the wall to which the panel will be attached. Fit a rubber washer (supplied) between each screw and the box backing.
Make all the electrical connections as illustrated in the diagram on chapter 2.5. To effect correct electrical connection and maintain the protection rating, use appropriate wire/raceway grips to ensure a good seal. Route the wiring inside the unit in as tidy a fashion as possible: be especially careful to keep power wires away from signal wires. Use clips to hold wires in place. - Close the front panel, making sure that all the wires are inside the box and that the box seal sits in its seat properly. Tighten the front panel using the 4 screws, making sure the O-rings on the head of each screw are used.
2.2 INSTALLING THE IN-ROOM EMERGENCY PUSHBUTTON
- The in-room pushbutton must be positioned so that it is always visible and easily reachable.
- Undo the four closure screws on the front of the pushbutton panel.
- Using the four internal holes fix the box backing with four screws of a length suitable for the thickness of the wall to which it is to be attached.
2.3 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE
- Carry out the connections as per the wiring diagram (Chap. 2.5).
- After initial connection it will take 110 hours to fully charge the battery.
- Press the luminous pushbutton installed inside the cold room to activate the acoustic and luminous warning devices on the external alarm control unit. The auxiliary relay contact closes.
- In the event of a 230 V AC power failure the buffer battery will intervene and power the system for the duration indicated on the technical characteristics chart.
- Reset the emergency switch inside the cold room to cancel the alarm.
- Periodically check that the buffer battery is working properly.
- If the battery is replaced make sure it is disposed of properly at an authorised waste collection facility.
- If the alarm is tripped without the pushbutton being pressed check the connection lead and the connections between the pushbutton and external control unit.

2.5 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
Warning: The positive pole of the battery (Fastom with red wire) is initially disconnected to maintain the charge during product storage.
Once the in-room keypad connections have been made it is, therefore, necessary to connect this fastom to the connector marked (1) on the upper left side of the board as also indicated on the wiring diagram.
It is advisable to first connect the control unit to the relative emergency pushbutton and only then connect up the battery and the mains power. This will prevent activation of the alarm.
NOTE: The supplied in-room emergency pushbutton unit can alternatively have the lighting LED in two different positions (A or B). See the figure. In both cases the connection diagram remains unchanged.
