8-32 ZONE DGP WITH 3A POWER SUPPLY
General Installation
Information
1. What Does it Do?
The ATS1203/ATS1204 provides zone expansion with 8 to
32 zones to ATS Control Panels with a built-in Power
Supply of max. 3A (total). Both the Mains Power Supply
and the Battery are monitored. The DGP also provides for
8 to 32 outputs occupying 2 DGP addresses when selected
to support more then 16 outputs.
The ATS1203/ATS1204 functionality is similar to the
ATS1201.
Setup of the ATS1203/ATS1204 is possible using the built-
in menu that can be accessed through Titan or the ATS
Control Panel menu 28.
2. Mains Power connection
Use the Mains Connector Terminal for connecting the
mains-supply. A fixed cable or a flexible mains leading to
an earthed mains outlet can be used. In case fixed wiring is
used, insert a dedicated circuit breaker in the power
distribution network. In all cases, the mains connection has
to comply with local regulations.
IMPORTANT:
Disconnect the mains power before opening
the cabinet!
Disconnect AC mains plug from AC
Mains wall socket. Or
Disconnect the mains with the
dedicated circuit breaker.
3. Mounting
The unit is mounted with screws or bolts through the four
mounting holes in the base.
Ensure that the unit is mounted on a flat, solid, vertical
surface such that the base will not flex or warp when the
mounting screws/bolts are tightened.
Leave a 50-mm clearance between equipment enclosures
mounted side by side and 25 mm between the enclosure
and the sidewall.
The battery mounting facility inside the housing is only
useful for steady state use of the control panel. Remove
the battery for transport of the control panel.
Ensure that the wire terminals are isolated. Use tie wraps
to prevent contact with any other wires or circuits in case
wires break.
4. General installation guidelines
The ATS1203/ATS1204 has been designed, assembled
and tested to meet the requirements related to safety,
emission and immunity with respect to environmental
electrical and electromagnetic interference, as of current
relevant Standards.
If the following guidelines are followed, the system will give
many years of reliable service.
In addition to the following guidelines, during the
installation of the ATS1203/ATS1204, it is essential to
follow any country dependent installation requirements of
local applicable standard. Only a qualified electrician or
other suitable trained and qualified person should attempt
to wire this system to the mains or to the public telephone
network.
1. Ensure that there is a good earth available for the
alarm system.
2. Maintain a separation between the low voltage and
mains supply cables. Use separate points of cable
entry to the control panel cabinet.
3. If, the upper and/or lower cabinet entry cable holes
are used to route wiring into the control panel,
always use a proper pipe fitting system by means of
an appropriate conduit and junction box. For this
purpose, use only materials of suitable flammability
class (HB or better).
4. For Mains Power connection, use the mains
connector terminal either through a permanent
wiring or a flexible mains cable to an earthed mains
outlet. Always use cable ties to fix mains cable, at
the dedicated fixing point provided near the mains
terminal connector.
a. In case of permanent fixed wiring, insert an
easily accessible, dedicated bipolar circuit
breaker in the power distribution network.
b. Never attempt to solder mains connection
wires end where they will be wired to the
terminal connectors.
5. Avoid loops of wire inside the control panel cabinet
and route cables so that they do not lie on top or
underneath the printed circuit board. The use of
cable ties is recommended and improves neatness
of the wiring within the box.
6. The battery used with this unit, must be made of
materials of suitable flammability class (HB or
better).
7. Any circuit connected either directly to the on board
relay’s contact or to external relay’s contact through
the on board electronic output, must be of SELV
(Safety extra low voltage) operating circuit.
a. Mains switching relay must not be fitted
inside the control panel cabinet
b. Always place a suppression diode (e.g. a
1N4001) across the relay coil
c. Use only relay with good insulation between
the contacts and the coil.
8. The minimum clearance between equipment
closures is 50 mm (between equipment vents).
