1 Important Notes

READ THIS SECTION BEFORE INSTALLING/MAINTAINING THIS PRODUCT

CAUTION

This equipment must only be installed and maintained by a suitably skilled and technically competent

person. No responsibility can be accepted by the manufacturer, or distributors of this product for any

misinterpretation of an instruction, or guidance note, or for the compliance of the system as a whole.

About this guide

This guide explains how to install, commission and maintain a SigTEL EVCS disabled refuge and fire telephone

system. A separate user manual (ref. DAU0000092) includes detailed operational information, some of which will

need to be referred to by the installation engineer when setting up the system.

No responsibility can be accepted by the manufacturer, or distributors for any misinterpretation of these instructions,

or for the compliance of the system as a whole.

This installation guide must not be accessible to the user.

System design

EVCS design is beyond the scope of this document. An understanding of system components and their use is

assumed.

We recommend that you read the latest edition of BS 5839 Part 9 (available from the BSI, http://www.bsigroup.com,

for this information. Contact the building control, or fire officer in case he has any special requirements.

Equipment guarantee

This equipment is not guaranteed unless the system is installed and commissioned in accordance with national

standards by an approved and competent person, or organisation.

General precautions

Do not test wiring with an insulation tester (Megger) with any equipment connected as the 500 volt test will destroy

these devices totally. You must observe local wiring regulations.

Do not run SELV and LV cables in the same enclosure without adequate insulation between them.

SigTEL EVCS control equipment is designed to be installed indoors. Outstations are not IP rated so should not be

installed outdoors unless an IP65, or better housing, is used and cables are installed so as to prevent the ingress of

moisture.

Anti-static handling guidelines

Make sure that electro-static handling precautions are taken immediately before handling PCBs and

other static sensitive components. Before handling any static-sensitive items, Operators should get

rid of any electrostatic charge by touching a sound safety earth.

Always handle PCBs by their sides and avoid touching any components. PCBs should be stored in

a clean, dry place that is free from vibration, dust and excessive heat. Storing the PCBs in a suitable

cardboard box will also guard them against mechanical damage.

2 Regulations Affecting EVCS

Disabled refuge systems are called for by DETR Approved document B (Fire safety) volume 2, section 4, Design for

vertical escape and BS 5588 Fire precautions in the design, construction and use of buildings, Part 8, Code of

practice for means of escape for disabled people.

Fire telephone systems for buildings are called for by BS 5588 Fire precautions in the design, construction and use

of buildings Part 5, Code of practice for firefighting stairs and lifts, Part 10, Code of practice for shopping complexes

and Part 11, Code of practice for shops, offices, industrial, storage and other similar buildings.

Fire telephone systems for sports venues are called for by the Guide to safety at sports grounds.

3 SigTEL Compact Components

Note: See Specification (section 19) for component details.

3.1 MCU wall unit (part nos. ECU-4, ECU-8, ECU-16)

The master control unit (MCU) controls the EVCS and allows the Operator to

communicate with the outstations.

Each MCU is wall mounted and has either four extensions (ECU-4), eight

extensions (ECU-8), or 16 extensions (ECU-16).

One extension typically has one outstation (Type A or B) or a disabled persons

toilet alarm (DPTA) connected.

A flush bezel (EVC385) and an anti-tamper enclosure (BF359/3M) are available

to house the unit.

Note: Up to 14 MCU and LCU wall units can be connected on a network by

installing a Network Comms Card in each unit.

3.2 LCU wall unit (part no. ECU-8NT)

The line control unit (LCU) is identical to an MCU but it does not have a handset

mounted on its front. Each LCU has eight extensions.

3.3 Grey flush bezel (part no. EVC385)

This flush mounting bezel is used with the MCU/LCU and provides a neat finish when an enclosure is semi-recessed

(up to 60 mm).

3.4 Desk control unit (part no. ECU-224)

This 1-224 line unit is used during normal operation of the system, to answer

or make calls to outstations. It has a handset and a display.

Note: The ECU-244 unit connects to a Network Communications Card

(ECU723) fitted inside an MCU wall unit, i.e. one ECU-224 per ECU723 per

MCU. Therefore, a maximum of 14 ECU-224’s can be installed on a network.

The ECU-224 is intended to be free-standing. However, a sloping wall

mounting shelf (ECUWMB) is available.

3.5 Type A fire telephone outstation (part nos. EVC301RPO, EVC301RLK)

One Type A outstation is connected to one extension so that the control room can call out to

specific locations and also know which location is calling in.

The outstation consists of a telephone-style handset housed within a wall-mounted, red steel

case. Two versions are available a magnetic ‘push to open’ version (EVC301RPO) right, and

a ‘lift lock’ version (EVC301RLK) used to prevent unauthorised access.

Both units can be surface mounted, or a flush mounting bezel (T-BEZ301) is available.

3.6 Flush-mounting bezel (part no. T-BEZ301)

This red flush bezel provides a neat finish when a Type A fire telephone is semi-recessed.

Communication System

3.7 Type B disabled refuge outstation - surface mounted (part no. EVC302S/GS)

One Type B outstation is connected to one extension so that the control room can call out to

specific locations and also know which location is calling in. The EVC302S has a stainless

steel fascia and the EVC302GS has a green mild steel fascia. Both units use hands-free,

duplex operation and have a ‘Push to Call or Answer’button, Call in Progress LED, buzzer

and apertures for a microphone and loudspeaker.

3.8 Type B disabled refuge outstation - flush mounted (part no. EVC302F/GF)

Identical to the EVC302S/GS version but with a flat fascia suitable for flush installation. The

EVC302F has a stainless steel fascia and the EVC302GF has a green mild steel fascia. An

IP66 rated housing (BF359/1) is available to allow the outstation to be used outdoors.

3.9 Type B outstation enclosure (part no. BF359/1)

This weatherproof enclosure is used to protect an EVC302F/GF Type B outstation when used

at an external disabled refuge. It is supplied with a non-locking handle (as disabled refuge

points should not normally be locked) and has an IP66 rating.

3.10 Enclosures (part no. BF359/3M, BF359/3S)

The BF359/3M is a stainless steel, anti-tamper enclosure used to house an MCU wall

unit. It is supplied with two optional locking kits; BF359/3CL (camlock kit) or BF359/3SL

(solenoid kit).

The BF359/3S is a shallower variant and is used to house an LCU wall unit.

3.11 Disabled persons toilet alarm (part no. NC951)

The EVCS is able to interface to a disabled persons toilet alarm (DPTA) system. This is a

secondary function to the primary purpose of the EVCS. If the site has toilet alarms AND

they are connected into the EVCS, then active toilet alarms will be displayed at the wall unit

and desk units. As toilet alarm monitoring is a secondary function, any activated toilet alarms

will be suppressed from being displayed if there are any calls from/to any outstations. At the

end of outstation calls the activated toilet alarms will then be displayed.

3.12 Network comms card (part no. ECU722/ECU723)

The ECU722 Network Comms Card enables up to 14 MCUs or LCU wall units to be

connected on a network. The ECU723 Network Comms Card enables up to 14 MCUs

or LCUs plus up to 14 ECU-224 desk control units to be connected on a network. Note

that if an ECU-224 is fitted with no network, then an ECU723 is still required. See

section 5.4 for further details.

The ECU722 and ECU723 cards are fitted inside the MCU/LCU and transmit both

speech audio and digital data.

Communication System

3.12.1 Key features of the EVCS networked system:

1. Allows the interconnection of up to 14 wall and 14 desk control unitsusing 4 x 2-core, 1.5 mm2, fire-rated wiring.

2. Maximum length on the speech wiring loop, or digital linear wiring = 1 km.

3. Wall and desk control units monitors both the network wiring and each other for faults (open and short circuits).

4. Fault tolerant network that allows the system to continue working in the event of a single cable break in the

speech or digital wiring.

5. Each networked unit can be programmed with the following configuration:

One MCU wall unit is configured as the ‘master’and has control over the system. The other control units

(MCU/LCU/ECU-224)actasrepeatersbutcantakecontrolfromthecurrentmasterwhenasecurityPINcodeisentered,

either at the master or a repeater. PIN code entry is not required in ‘first come, first served mode’ (see section 18.7).

The current master displays the location of calls and the description of faults on the EVCS. Faults on current repeater

units are displayed at the master as remote faults.

Calls from any outstation, regardless of which unit they are connected to, are automatically routed to the current

master unit. Current repeater units indicate that outstations are calling the master unit and can take control of the

system by picking up their handsets and entering a security PIN code.

When no outstations are calling in, ability to take control from the current master unit at any repeater unit (by entering

a security PIN code). For example, the nearest unit to the building entry point. Also, able to give control from the

current master unit to any repeater unit (by entering a security PIN code).

Changes made at the current master unit (e.g. security PIN codes, extension names, addition/removal of an

outstation) are automatically updated on all repeater units.

The current master unit is automatically dialled to by repeater units when their handsets are picked up (when no

outstations are calling in).

4 Cables

Generally, cables used between EVCS components, and for the low voltage Mains supply to the system, should be enhanced

fire-resistant [see 26.2e of BS 5839-1]. Please note the following exceptions.

BS 5839-9: section 14 the following recommendations are applicable:

c) Standard fire resisting cables [see 26.2d of BS 5839-1] should be considered to provide sufficient resistance to the effects of

fire with appropriate methods of support and jointing [see 26.2g of BS 5839-1] for:

1) EVC systems for use in disabled refuges but not for fire-fighting or similar purposes by, e.g. the fire and rescue service, in:

i) sprinklered buildings;

ii) unsprinklered buildings less than 30 m in height, provided that evacuation takes place in three or fewer phases.

2) Underground sections of cabling at sports and similar venues.

Interconnection

Cable Type

Extensions to outstations

2-core, 1.0 mm2or 1.5 mm2cable is recommended for each extension. Larger cables will stress

the connectors. The maximum cable resistance is 40 ohms, which is 1 km of 1.0 mm2. If this is

exceeded audio quality will degrade.

Extensions to DPTA

systems (NC951)

2-core cable is required for each extension.

Power supplies

The MCU/LCU wall unit requires fixed wiring using 2-core cable and earth/CPC cable (no less

than 0.75 mm2and no more than 2.5 mm2) fed from an isolating switched fused spur, fused at

3 amps. A plug and socket MUST NOT be used.

Networked systems

Either MCU to MCU, or

MCU to LCU

4 x 2-core, 1.5 mm2, up to 1 kmin length. This cable connects ECU722/ECU723 network comms

cards mounted inside the MCU/LCU wall unit.

Note: To provide full network reliability only 2-core cable should only be used. This allows two

separate cable paths to be runwith each path containing a single speech and data cable (which

should not be mixed in the same cable).

Networked systems

MCU/LCU to

ECU722/ECU723

Connects theMCU/LCU wall unit to the ECU722/ECU723 Network Comms Card using one CAT5

patch cable (supplied with ECU722/ECU723).

MCU to ECU-224

Two, 4-core 1.0 mm2or 1.5 mm2enhanced fire-rated cable up to 200 metres.

The ECU-224’s supplied 5 metre CAT5 lead should connect to an adjacent CAT5 socket with

mechanical protection in accordance with BS 5839-1.
