5.Complete the copy of Appendix B: Planning Worksheet for the facility in which the EA800 system is to be installed. This must include all monitored areas for the total security system so that you know how many EA800 base units are needed.
6.Determine the sensors required from the Planning Worksheet you completed and the information provided for each sensor type in “System Configuration”. Enter these in the copy of the System Configuration Record you made.
Note: When water sensors are required, you must use at least one supervised water sensor and may add up to five additional unsupervised water sensors, all in parallel. Thus, an alarm on any sensor will result in an alarm with no way to determine which sensor is the source.
7.Enter the sensor information in the copy of the EA800 Wiring Diagram you made. It is a good idea to name each sensor on this diagram and use that name in both the EA800 Wiring Diagram and the System Configuration Record. This helps ensure proper programming of the system after you have physically installed the system.
!WARNING
!CAUTION
EA800 relay outputs are intended only for use as
Do not connect a load to the AUX OUT or OUTPUT 1 through OUTPUT 8 relay outputs that exceeds limitations stated in the Specifications section of this manual. Loads exceeding the specified limitations may damage the EA800, or result in improper or unreliable operation.
8.Using the floor plan you created, identify the specific locations for each sensor and verify that their locations meet the specifications. See Specifications for operational parameters such as cable length.
Note: For
9.Determine the channel to use for the wireless sensors. If more than one EA800 is being installed
10.The wireless sensor must be located so that the wireless signal strength is adequate as outlined in Winland Application Note AN00101. You must verify that the wireless sensors can communicate with the base unit before you permanently mount them.
Note: Certain environments may present conditions that intermittently cause interference with wireless sensor to base unit communications. You should understand the environment in which the EA800 is to operate to minimize their affects on system performance.
11.Decide the loop design you will use. Figure 9 shows an alarm loop where alarm power is derived from the alarm loop. Figure 10 shows an alarm loop where alarm power is derived from the power supply feeding the EA800.
Note: if using a
