Product description

Introduction

The BT Redcare Essential unit is a wireless single path, roaming SIM, 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.

The Essential unit has a UK roaming SIM with 4G/2G mobile technology.

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 . Path fail alarm is platform generated.

The unit has 8 general purpose alarm inputs, and 2 outputs, making it suitable for

connection to most common alarm panels.

The unit is supplied already fitted with a BT Redcare enabled SIM card.

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.

Mounting and wiring

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 card.

Mounting

The unit should be mounted inside the alarm panel, or inside a separate powered

housing, using the sticky mounting pads supplied.

The enclosure must meet or exceed the protection requirements of the particular

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

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

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

not be mounted on a metal surface. The aerial 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 5.

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.

Ensure the power source is sufficient to power all devices connected. See the power

requirements in the specification section. 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 8 alarm inputs which are presented on screw terminals along the bottom of

the unit. These are labelled as Pin 1-4 and 5-8.

By default the 8 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.

Outputs

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

Output 1 is COMMS, Output 2 is FUNC.

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.

Aerial connection

Connect the supplied aerial to the MMCX connector on the top right of the unit.

The aerial should be placed in a vertical position that receives the best 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

Programming

Unit initialisation

The unit will immediately attempt to connect to the BT Redcare platform over the

mobile paths. The unit will typically complete path establishment in the following time

from power up.

The unit sends a ‘System Reset’ event (Pin 984,1) over the first available path, followed

by a ‘Unit Restarted’ restore (Pin 984,3) within two seconds. The unit also sends the

state of all 8 pins and low battery alarm restore. Sending these alarm states at start up

helps to ensure that the ARC alarm handling software reflects the true state of all pin

alarms after start up.

Status display

The unit clearly displays its status on the OLED. In its normal working state, the unit will

cycle its display.

The performance category can only be determined by the unit while in contact with

the platform. The unit will not show the performance category until the mobile path

is registered with the platform when it will retrieve the performance grade.

• On 4G above -90dBm, 4 bars will be displayed

Path status

The status of the communication path is indicated by the OLED display.

The mobile path status has the following possible 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 the mobile path should be registered.
