Before you start

1. Power Down the Panel As with the process for installing any type of alarm communications (Digi/STU) the panel must be on test and powered down.

2. Make a Note of the TCD Serial Number (Found on the white Lid) You will need to give this number to your ARC during the commissioning process so that it can be matched with the customer details.

3. Protect against Static Electricity To protect the electrical components of the TCD from static electricity we recommend that you are earthed whenever you handle the equipment using a wrist strap and a 1M resistor.

4. Complete the Customer IT Survey Form Download at: http://www.emizon.com/downloads.html The TCD comes with DHCP enabled and will automatically request an IP address. A static IP address can be assigned via Emizon Online Maintenance. A static IP can be assigned by calling the Emizon Helpdesk if the GPRS path LED202 is available.

5. Check the Router Port Connection The Ethernet port on the TCD connects to an Ethernet connection at the customer’s premises using a standard Cat5 Ethernet cable. If required additional ports on a router can be made available by using an Ethernet hub, sourced from IT suppliers, who also supply Ethernet cable lengths. Instructions to make up a Cat5 patch cable can be found in the downloads section of the website http://www.emizon.com/izone-for-installers/downloads-and-online-support.html

6. Dial Prefix for PSTN lines If connecting via PSTN check if the line uses a dial prefix, if so this can be

assigned via Emizon Online Maintenance software. A Dial prefix can be assigned by calling the Emizon Helpdesk if the GPRS path is available.

7. Check Wireless GPRS Signal Strength The GPRS module is enabled but will require sufficient signal strength to operate. For a quick indication place a mobile phone next to the panel, 2 bars or more is usually sufficient. For a precise reading, use the TCD diagnostic facility which displays the signal strength in a range from 0 to 31, a reading of 12 is required. Please be patient, the GPRS path can take a few minutes to activate and find a signal strength. LED202 should be solid on. High Gain Ariel’s can be used to boost the GPRS reception and are available from: [email protected] or online at http://www.emizon.com/installer-shop/

TCD Components

Notes: It is advised to do a Firmware update on the TCD on every site visit.

Each TCD has a unique Serial Number located on the manufacturer’s label - you will need this number during the ARC commissioning process.

The TCD can be used for compliance to EN signalling Grades 2, 3 or 4. The signalling Grade is specified when ordering the Emizon service.

For IP/GPRS connections the fixed IP path is the primary and the GPRS is the secondary path.

For GPRS/PSTN connections the GPRS is the primary and the fixed PSTN is the secondary path.

For IP/PSTN connections the IP is the primary and the fixed PSTN is the secondary path. Note IP/PSTN is Bi-Path not Dual Path.

Step-by Step Guide to Commissioning

Step 1: Fit the TCD in the Alarm Control Panel The TCD can be connected using pin inputs, RS 232/485 or dial capture: Using Pin Inputs

Connect the TCD pin inputs to the panel. The default is +ve removed.

Connect the power supply to the TCD V+ 0V power supply input, carefully observing the correct polarity.

Using RS232/RS485 Connection

Using Dial Capture

Unscrew and remove the Dial capture lid.

Step 2: Connect TCD Signalling Paths Using IP/Broadband For IP/GPRS connections connect the Ethernet port to the network connection/router in the customer’s premises using Cat5 cable. For GPRS/PSTN connections remove plastic casing and connect the PSTN line to Terminals T1 and R1. NO OTHER COMBINATION WILL WORK! Check for voltage across T1 and R1 (should read approximately 50V DC)

Step 3: Connect and Check Relays

The three changeover relays are rated at 30 Volts DC @ 1A. All 3 relays are

Non- Latching. The line fault relay will be in the N/O position when there is no

line fault and fall back the N/C position when there is a line fault or other fault

which would prevent the TCD from operating normally. The Line Fault relay

can therefore be used as a fault output, signalling N/C to indicate a fault

condition. Note: The Relays can be configured in a number of combinations via

Online Maintenance Software.

Control Output – Controlled by the ARC and used for various purposes

such as re-setting the alarm panel following an event.

Line Fault – N/C when the TCD is in line fault. This relay is defaulted to

operate in BSIA Form 175 mode to report a path failure on either path. This

relay can also be used to indicate a fault condition for the TCD.

RPS – Return Path Signalling – activates when an alarm is sent and

acknowledged by the ARC.

Assigning a Static IP Address (when no other Path is available) The TCD is set to DHCP by default. If a static IP is required, using an Ethernet cable, connect directly from a laptop to the TCD Ethernet port. Point your web browser to 169.254.37.93 At pages available, select IP Address Configuration. Select Fixed IP Address, then enter the static IP details (IP, Subnet and Gateway) and finally press Submit. Note the TCD must be de-activated either by the ARC or by Emizon prior to assigning a Static IP address.

Step 4: Boot Up and Signalling Check

Turn on the power supply to the panel, wait 15 approximately seconds:

The power status red LED 101 will illuminate.

The display sequence is shown below:

B u b c t1 Boot Up Boot Complete TCD Initial State

Check Ethernet activity LED301 is lit, it flickers if data present.

If this is the first time this TCD is being installed, wait for ‘t I’ on the

display, and then press and hold the Set and Mode buttons together until

the display shows UF. The TCD will make contact with the Emizon Service

Platform and download the latest firmware. ‘r r’ indicates the update

has taken place, UC indicates the TCD already has the latest software.

The TCD will automatically REBOOT after 20 seconds.

Allow the TCD to boot up (15 seconds) and go to ‘t I’ state.

Step 5: Commissioning with your ARC (Unbundled) Call your ARC with the TCD serial number. The ARC will then ‘associate’

or link the TCD to the customer details on their system and ‘activate’ it.

Press the ‘Set’ (RH) button for 5 seconds.

The display will then alternate between ‘t I’, ’01 ‘ and then

display ‘CA ‘ (completely activated) indicating a successful activation. The

GPRS and Ethernet path LED’s will change to solid green to indicate that

they are communicating with the Emizon Service Platform.

For added security there is a time out period, usually 20mins, to press the

set button following ARC activation.

The following codes are shown on the display:

Step 6: System Test and Fix Aerial

Following successful activation, test all alarms on both signalling paths.

(First send a set of alarms, then disconnect the Ethernet cable, forcing

alarms over the GPRS path.

NB: The Ethernet LED will start flashing to indicate failure mode). Remember to reconnect Ethernet connection when testing complete.

Testing complete, affix the aerial in place on top of the panel.

For reporting times please refer to the Emizon website

http://www.emizon.com/downloads.html

NB: Emizon is a dual-path service - the TCD must be commissioned with both paths fully activated before leaving site.

Diagnostics and Fault Finding

The TCD incorporates a diagnostic mode for specific types of information, such as signal strength and GPRS registration; shown in digital format on the display. To access the diagnostics give the “Mode” button a light tap - the display will remain in this state for a period of 2 minutes. The

display will show a code for the parameter on display for example “GS” is for signal strength together with the associated value.

GPRS Signal Strength (GS) Signal strength value ranges from 0 (zero strength) to 31 (maximum strength). A value of 12 or more is normally acceptable. ‘99’ indicates that the GPRS modem cannot properly detect the signal strength. Please be patient, The GPRS path can take up A few minutes to find a good signal strength.

GPRS Registration Status (GR) The display will then show the GPRS registration status. GR ‘05’ indicates that the TCD is registered Roaming network. GR indicates registered on GSM network. Both GA and GR Must display ‘05’

Error and Fault Codes

The TCD comes with in-built fault finding capability. When detected, error and fault conditions are shown on the display with the letter E or F. The display may also show a number code to indicate the nature of the problem. The most common codes together with the potential reasons and solutions are shown on the table below:

Display Code Possible Reason and Solution

F 0 Fault Code 0: Configuration read from flash failed –device is

faulty please replace with a new TCD.

E 0 Error Code 0: IP Path not connected. Check Ethernet cable from

TCD to Router/ Network connection eclectically OK.

E 1 Error Code 1: TCD has No IP address

E 2 GPRS Registration State not 1 or 5. If this persists, it indicates

poor GPRS coverage or an aerial location problem.

E 3 GPRS Connection not available. If this persists it indicates the

TCD is unable to connect to the GPRS IP Network.

E 4 Serial Connection to Alarm Panel failed (if configured). Check

the panel serial connection on the RS232/RS384 ports.

E 5 PSTN Connection failed (if configured). Physical wiring between

the TCD and the panel on the PSTN connection has failed.

E 6 No ARP Response. Cannot detect local gateway/router. Indicates

no response from router. Most likely causes; TCD plugged into wrong network, router not online or has different IP address.

E 7 Cannot detect Emizon Service Platform. Most likely causes; customers internet connection is down or firewall blocking internet access on desired port range (TCP Outbound 18000-18049)

Display Code Firmware Update Codes

U F UF Followed by a value of between 00 and 99 indicates that the firmware update process in in progress.

F E FE followed by a value indicated an error in firmware update process. Repeat process, if the result is the same check network connection.

EN-Compliant Installations

To achieve EN-Compliant installation, additional and/or specific

requirements may be applicable.

1. The Emizon TCD should be placed in EN-compliant /installation/housing, related to the

grade/security levels.

2. In order to use the Emizon service and obtain support services, an authorized person with

level 2 access as defined in EN50136-1 should grant access at level 3 by specific

agreement/SLA

3. The compliance with EN50136-1 defines the Emizon service as a dual path system and

customers should note that a single path system, where the alternate path is either not

configured or not working at the point of installation may not comply with the desired

standards.

4. EN50136-1 requires that a failure of the ATS communications path is signaled to the alarm

system. The Emizon TCD is designed to signal a communications path fault to the alarm

system using relay output 2 on the TCD, when the relay configuration is set to the default

normal mode. In order to maintain compliance, installers should ensure that the

appropriately configured relay output 2 is connected to an input on the alarm system for

notification of an ATS path fault.

5. EN50136-1 defines a new requirement for signaling to the alarm system from the

communicating device (Emizon TCD) where the Emizon TCD must indicate to the alarm

system if an alarm is not delivered within the performance requirements maximum delivery

time in the standard. The Emizon TCD can be configured to use relay output 3 to indicate

this condition. In order to maintain compliance, installers should ensure that the

appropriately configured relay output 3 is connected to an input on the alarm system for

notification of a failure to deliver performance event.

6. Availability as defined in EN50136-1 is calculated on per path, per ATS and by ATSN as

required. However, it is now possible for the Emizon TCD (or any SPT) to define what

caused each failure. For accurate calculations it is advisable to record all causes of

downtime such that calculations of relevant ATS downtime can be made more accurately.

7. When the TCD is NOT placed in the AS System housing and therefor the parallel interface

interconnect cable is not protected by this system housing special configuration is needed to

achieve tamper detection. In such case installer needs to connect two wires within the

interconnect cable, each to a parallel input. One input should be configured as Pos-applied

and the other Pos-removed. Corresponding input alarms should be defined at the ARC as

Interconnect Tamper between Alarm system and TCD.

8. Installer has to verify and arrange the ATS in such manner that in situations transmission links

are shared with other alarm and/or non-alarm applications this will not prevent the ATS to

meet its performance, operation and maintenance requirements of the European Standards

applicable.

9. The installer should record in the site log where alternative facilities are provided such that

accurate availability can be determined, as it is impossibility for an ATS to detect this situation,

and the ATS will therefore treat record and define any outage of the ATS as unavailable.

The installer needs to verify the performance of the ATS according table 2 and 3 of the EN50136-1/2012 at commissioning of the ATS and following any changes (ATE and/or transmission network)

Compliance

The TCD complies with the requirements of the European

EMC Directive (89/336/EC), the Low Voltage Directive

(72/23/EC and 93/68/EC) & from (1/1/2006) the ‘Reduction

of Hazardous Substances Directive’ (2002/95/EC).

Appropriate components also comply with the

requirements of the R&TTE Directive (1995/5/EC). EN55022 Emissions Class

B. EN50130-4 Immunity. And 89/336 Electro Magnetic Compatibility Directive)

as amended by 92/31/EEC.

Compliance and EN-Characterises:

Emizon TCD is suitable for installation in systems complying with EN 50131-1

and is available to comply with EN Grades 2, 3 and 4. Emizon is tested and

certified for EN50136-1/2011, prEN50136-2/2011, 50130-4/2011 and 50130-

5/2011.

As transmission system it is certified EN50136-1 for ATS Categories S1, S2,

S3, S4, S5, over Ethernet only and D1, D2, D3, D4 where EN-installation

instructions in this manual apply.

Environmental Compliance: EN50130-5 Environmental Class II

EN50136-2-Signalling operation: Pass-thru

EN50136-2 Acknowledgment operation: By RCT (end-to-end)

Restrictions/instruction for EN-installation:

Placement in EN-certified housing to be provided separately.

Maximum cable length installation: PSTN=Max 30mtrs, Serial BUS no

restrictions, specifications panel manufacturer apply, Parallel inputs=Max 3 mtr.

Network Interface Monitoring operation EN50136-2

Encrypted polls to the service-platform with timed acknowledgements and

timed intervals so SPT, Platform and RCT monitors operation.

Information security: All connections between SPT, Service-platform and

RCT are at least AES128 encrypted.

Substitution Security: The TCD is supplied without a key and that key is

generated during commissioning of the installation. The key will be a minimum

of a 128 bit AES key. Once the key has been produced there is no other

method of direct gaining access to the TCD without using the existing

authorised connection. As the TCD initiates the access there is no way that an

unauthorised party can attempt to gain access directly to the TCD.

Loss Prevention Standard LPS1277: V3

10.1 Installation guidance for LPCB approved supervised premises transceivers (SPT) connected to Intrusion & Hold up Alarm Systems (I&HAS) It is intended that the following text be reproduced in the product documentation supplied with the SPT.

The following guidance on installation practices will help enhance general Alarm Transmission System (ATS) security/ resilience avoid undue (false) path failure reports and reduce customer inconvenience. Important Notes 1) A claim to have installed LPCB approved SPT will be invalid if this guidance has not been followed. 2) Within this guidance the word ‘shall’ indicates a mandatory requirement. Use of the word ‘should’ indicates a requirement unless practical constraints prevent compliance. Installation (Alarm Company) Information

Location and alarm protection of the Supervised Premises Transceiver (SPT) i) The SPT part of the Alarm Transmission Equipment (ATE), shall be located within the I&HAS Control and Indicating Equipment (CIE), or within an enclosure that shares the same mains power supply, and has the same level of battery back-up and tamper protection, as is required for the associated CIE. ii) The location of the CIE, or other enclosure, containing the SPT;

Shall, when installed as part of a new I&HAS; be in an area provided with ‘direct alarm protection’a) and be located where it is not visible to, or readily accessible by, members of the public.

Should, when retro-fitted to a pre-existing I&HAS; be in an area provided with ‘direct alarm protection’a) and be located where it is not visible to, or readily accessible by, members of the public.

Alarm protection of Site Network Equipment i) ‘Site Network Equipment’b) that can be switched off or which has a locally or remotely accessible and changeable function, (e.g. a telephone switchboard or IP router), together with Alarm Transmission Path (ATP) aerials† and network access termination points, shall be located in an area provided with ‘direct alarm protection’a). ii) Other ‘Site Network Equipment’ b), for example intermediate junction boxes, should be provided with ‘direct alarm protection’ a). Note † Where an ATP aerial cannot be located in an area readily provided with ‘direct alarm protection’a) and still achieve the recommended minimum signal strength for adequate performance, it may be installed elsewhere (preferably indoors but otherwise outdoors), subject to positioning it where its discovery and/or ready access by intruders is considered unlikely Connections between the SPT and Site Network Equipment b) i) Any radio based ATP shall have a cable connection between the SPT and the required aerial, with all cable termination points, including those at any intermediate connections, using termination components (or housings) that protect against cable removal without the use of a tool. ii) Any landline based ATP shall have a cable connection between the SPT and the first suitable alarm transmission network termination point within the premises. This shall be made in one continuous run and use termination components (or housings) that protect against cable removal without the use of a tool. The connection to the alarm transmission network shall be made in such a manner that where non-alarm related apparatus/services are also connected to that network, they do not prevent, or interfere with, the correct operation of the ATS.

Page 16: TCD Installation Guide - Emizon · TCD Installation Guide ... Page 6 Pin Configuration. ... relay can also be used to indicate a fault condition for the TCD.

Loss Prevention Standard LPS1277: V3 (Continued) Notes a) The phrase 'direct alarm protection' shall mean that sufficient detection devices are installed to ensure that,

when the I&HAS is set, access to the protected equipment results in a full (e.g. a ‘confirmed’) alarm condition. Where an I&HAS uses a time delayed entry/exit route as part of the facility for unsetting, detection devices programmed to act as entry/exit route detection shall not be regarded as providing ‘direct protection’.

b) The phrase ‘Site Network Equipment’ shall be regarded as all equipment installed within the alarmed premises

through which signals from the SPT to the alarm transmission network beyond the perimeter of the premises are transmitted. For example, non-alarm dedicated (shared use) IP routers, telephone switchboards/Private Automatic Branch Exchanges (PABX), network access termination points, ATP aerials and communication network junction boxes/switches.

ARC/ATS message holding Where the Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) and/or ATS provider offers, or requests use of, a facility to block the receipt of, or hold information relating to, ATS fault notification signals or messages pending receipt of further alarm information (e.g. pending the designation of a confirmed alarm as per BS 8243), agreement to such an action shall be confirmed in writing by the customer (end user); with the relevant notification stating that this action is compatible with the risk assessment and/or the requirements of any interested party, for example an insurer. In such cases the installer shall make suitable arrangements, which shall be confirmed in writing, for the customer to be alerted to any such ATS fault notification signals/messages when their alarm system is next unset, or after a period of 96 hours, whichever is the sooner. Customer (end user) Information It is intended that the following text be reproduced in the product documentation supplied with the SPT. Installers shall advise the customer :- i) of any potential for normal ATS functions, including normal or ‘stepped up’ checking of ATS availability (e.g. by sending test signals), which could interfere with, or prevent use of, any non-alarm related apparatus/services connected to a telephone line shared with the ATS. In such cases customers should be recommended to consider use of an ex-directory 'In Coming Calls Barred' (ICCB) telephone line dedicated to ATS use. ii) of the adverse effect on reliable operation of their intruder alarm system that may result where ‘Site Network Equipment’ b) used by the ATS:- - could have its correct operation/settings locally or remotely accessed and Changed / disabled, for example a non-alarm dedicated (shared use) IP router. In such cases customers should be recommended to consider protection against unauthorised access by the use of an access password (not the factory default) and, if their equipment has wireless connectivity having the wireless network Access Point Name (APN) hidden. - would cease to work in the event of loss of mains power; for example a Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) or non-alarm dedicated (shared use) IP Router. In such cases customers should be recommended to consider protecting the power supply against disconnection by use of an un-switched fused spur connection or by having such equipment or its power supply connections located in an area/room to which unauthorised access is restricted. iii) of the adverse effect on reliable operation of their intruder alarm system that may result from cessation of any communication service(s) necessary for correct operation of the ATS; for example telephony services such as ‘three way calling’ (Star Services) or access to internet services (via an ISP). In such cases customers should be recommended to take steps to ensure that availability of these services is maintained at all times when their alarm system is likely to be in use. iv) that, where the performance of the SPT is capable of being changed after installation, such changes shall be confirmed in writing by the customer; with the relevant notification stating that any such change is compatible with the risk assessment and/or the requirements of any interested party, for example an insurer.
