Installation Checklist

Introduction

Refer to the Hardware Description section of this guide for installation, setup, and operating information.

SCS-1R Faceplate

To lower the SCS-1R faceplate, turn the two screws located in the top corners of the SCS-1R. The front of the SCS-1R opens on a hinge to allow access to the inside of the SCS-1R. Close the SCS-1R system by raising the front of the SCS-1R and securing the two screws in the top corners.

Earth Ground

Connect the ground lug on the modem rack rear side to earth ground. Using a minimum of 14 gauge wire, ground to a cold water pipe, building ground, or a ground rod. Do not ground to electrical conduit or telephone company ground.

Location of Circuit Boards

Confirm the circuit boards in the modem rack and in the multibus rack are installed properly and are in their proper locations. The circuit boards are properly installed when completely seated into the connector on the rack backplane.

SCS-208 Power Cord

Connect the SCS-208 Power Cord from the SCS-120 Multibus Power Supply card to the SCS-130 Transformer Card.

Phone Lines

Connect the RJ11X cables provided with each line card to the phone lines used for receiving alarms.

Network Connection

When using a network interface card, connect the SCS-101 network cable to the data network. Refer to the Hardware Description and Appendix for SCS-101 network installation instructions.

AC Power

AC power input of the receiver is 120 VAC, 60Hz and at least 3.5 Amps outlet not controlled by a switch . Do not apply AC power yet. For listed operation, use a listed uninterrupted power supply (UPS). The UPS system must have a secondary power source (batteries) and provide alarm contacts to indicate when the UPS switches from primary power to secondary power. The SCS-1R Receiver requires a UPS that delivers at least 400 VA power operating at 60Hz.

Optional Printer

Connect the RS-232 printer cable. Install paper, connect the printer to AC power, and turn on the printer power switch.

Note: UL central station applications must use a serial printer that is listed for Fire Protective Signaling Systems.

Start up

Apply 120 VAC to the AC power cord. The 120 volts supplied to the SCS-1R Receiver and the printer must be from the same UPS circuit.

Configuration

After powering up the system, set the correct time, configure the phone lines and network communications.

Note: Be sure that the Membrane Keypad is set to Address 01 (one). Refer to LCD Membrane Keypad Configuration for complete information.
