Essential Extra is a wireless dual path alarm signalling unit for transmitting alarm

signals from a customer’s alarm panel, via the BT Redcare network, to an Alarm

Receiving Centre (ARC) using pass-through mode of operation. Essential Extra units

have dual modems with 4G/2G mobile technology in each path. The units are designed

for use in both Security and Fire systems.

The unit communicates via the BT Redcare network and a valid TA (Terminal adapter)

account must exist for the unit to communicate. The TA account will have been

populated with the serial number of the unit. Once connected to the platform the unit

uses a poll and response check to determine path status. When the primary path fails

the secondary path will take up the polling and reporting parameters of the primary

path. Individual path fails are transmitted over the remaining path. Dual path failure is

platform generated.

The unit has 16 general purpose alarm inputs, and 3 outputs, making it suitable for

connection to most common alarm panels.

The unit is supplied already fitted with two BT Redcare enabled SIM cards, one an EE

UK fixed SIM and a UK Roaming SIM. Both enabled for 4G/2G connectivity.

Primary path fail reporting 30 mins

Secondary path fail reporting 5 hours

Both paths fail concurrent 60 mins

Catastrophic failure (both paths together) 31 mins

Safety notes

Warning: Read all safety warnings and instructions. Failure to heed warnings and follow

instructions may result in electric shock, fire risk and/or personal injury.

Work area safety

• Keep work area clean, well lit and free of obstacles.

• Keep floor and walkways clear of cables and materials to avoid trip hazards.

• Keep children and bystanders away while performing installation and

maintenance work.

• Remove any left over materials when finished and keep all items away from children

and pets.

Personal safety

• Stay alert and attentive. A moment of inattention may result in personal injury.

• Do not perform installation or maintenance work when tired or under the influence

of medication, drugs or alcohol.

• Upon commencing work on security system enclosures and components, ensure

the item is securely fixed to the wall and that no components or contents such as the

battery can fall and cause personal injury.

Electrical safety

• Exercise care when working inside security system enclosures:

‑ Metallic tools, fingers, body parts or jewellery coming into contact with mains

wiring and terminals may cause electric shock.

‑ Metallic tools or jewellery coming into contact with battery terminals may cause

sparks, personal injury or create a fire risk.

• Exercise care when drilling into, or inserting fasteners into walls. Pipes and wiring may

be present in the wall and contact with tools or fasteners may provide risk of electric

shock, damage to premises services, or create a fire risk. Locate wiring, pipes and

services first to avoid accidents.

Removal of cover

The top cover can be removed by gently releasing each of the 4 clips on the base of

the unit by pushing the clips outward with a screwdriver blade.

Regular access to the inside of the unit should not be required, although occasional

access may be required to access the SIM cards.

Mounting

The unit should be mounted inside a suitable robust enclosure, using the sticky mounting

pads supplied.

For security installations the enclosure must meet or exceed the protection requirements

of the particular security grade for the whole installation as per EN 50131-1

For fire alarms it is recommended the signalling unit is mounted within an enclosure

separate from the fire alarm panel or fire alarm power supply.

Caution: mounting the signalling unit within fire alarm panel or fire alarm power supply

enclosure might invalidate their compliance with EMC regulatory requirements.

The separate enclosure must meet the requirements of EN 54-2 and EN 54-21 associated

with access restriction to installer level 3, ingress protection to IP30 or above and power

supply integrity. The transmission of fire alarm signals and the state of the fault and

acknowledge outputs on the signalling unit shall be displayed at the separate enclosure or

at the fire alarm panel.

If the fire panel and the separate enclosure are some distance apart (i.e. not within line of

sight) then the indications should be at the panel

For optimum performance the supplied aerials should be mounted vertically outside of

and away from the housing by removing the adhesive backing. Ideally the aerials should

be at least 30cm apart and not mounted on a metal surface. The aerials should be installed

a distance of 20cm or greater away from any user or bystander.

Connection terminals

The screw terminals for the alarm inputs are suitable for use with a standard 3mm

blade terminal screwdriver.

Power connections

Power to the unit is via 2 screw terminals at the centre, with positive to the right nearest Pin 9.

The supply voltage range is 9V to 30V. The unit is designed to be connected to the auxiliary

power output on an associated alarm panel, or separate powered enclosure. For use with

intruder alarm panels the power supply must meet the requirements of EN 50131-6.

For use with Fire alarm panels the signalling unit must be powered from a supply meeting

the requirements of EN 54-4. Ensure the power source is sufficient to power all devices

connected. See the power requirements in the specification section for more information.

The account at the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) should be put ‘on test’ before power up,

as signals will be sent following initialisation.

Alarm inputs

The unit has 16 alarm inputs which are presented on screw terminals along the bottom

of the unit. These are labelled as Pin 1–8 and 9–16.

By default the 16 alarm inputs require a positive condition to be presented to send an

alarm. (Default = Positive applied). This can be changed using the Pin Learn button or

through the configuration menu. See later section on Configuration.

13 AC Fail alarm (has a 7 minute delay which can be altered in programming)

14 –16 General alarm

Figure 3 – Alarm input allocations. (Functions must be agreed with your ARC).

Outputs

Three relay outputs are provided on screw terminals at the top of the unit.

Output 1 is COMMS, Output 2 is FUNC, and Output 3 is FIRE.

For fire alarm installations the indication of ‘acknowledgement of fire alarm’ and

‘SPT fault’ messages must be provided by the fire panel into which the SPT is

mounted. System fault indications which are notified by the line fault output

(Output 1) must be latched by the fire panel as required by EN 54-21.

See the further sections on outputs for a full explanation.

Serial data connections

The serial data connection labelled TX, RX, B and A is configurable for RS485 or RS232

connection depending on the panel.

This is done in the configuration menu.

These ports allow serial alarm panel connection. See Panel Upload Download section.

Dial Capture

The Dial Capture (DIAL CAP) terminals enable interfacing with an alarm panel’s digital

communicator. The alarm panel can then send SIA, CID or Fast Format messages through

the unit to the Alarm Receiving Centre.

Dial Capture can also be used for upload download UDL allowing remote access with

some types of alarm panel.

1287 5675 8214

Aerial connection

Connect the supplied aerials to the MMCX connectors on the top right of the unit.

The aerials should be placed in a vertical position and slightly apart to ensure a good

wireless coverage. Carry out a survey to establish the best location.

If necessary, a selection of high gain and extension aerials can be purchased from the

BT Redcare shop at btinstallershop.com

The state of the communication paths is indicated by the OLED display, both mobile

paths have the following possible path status:

• Up No Reg – path is up but not registered with the platform.

• Registered – has contacted the platform and successfully registered.

• Alarm/ACK – alarm is being transmitted and awaiting acknowledgement.

• Down – the path has lost connectivity to the platform and is trying to reconnect.

Note: When fully commissioned over both paths, then both paths should be registered.
