Main System Components: • LC 1200 Controller & Main Unit (Part # RC700098) • Secondary Controller (Part # RC700099) • Magnetic Contact (Part # RC650514) (for door applications) • Passive Infrared Reader (Part # RC300302) (for hallway and elevator applications) • Keypad (Part # RC650209)

System Features:The LC 1200 System uses small unobtrusive tags that are banded to the residents being monitored and LC Units placed at points of egress. When a tag enters a monitored area, the system can automatically trigger any of the following actions: • Sound alarms • Lock doors • Deactivate elevators • Flash lights • Trigger visual displays (e.g. SAPs or GDPs)

Since LC Units only react to tags, they do not restrict the movement of other residents, staff, or visitors. The LC Unit’s range of coverage is determined by the size of the activation field. The activation field can be expanded or reduced to accommodate the environmental conditions of virtually any doorway, hallway, or elevator.

System Overview

System Components

The LC1200 System is designed to be a stand-alone patient egress monitoring system. The function of the system is to alert facility personnel of the possible egress of a monitored resident and can be utilized for special care residents who have a tendency for attempting to enter unauthorized areas or leave the facility.

Single vs. Double ConditioningEgress alarms can be set for either single or double conditioning.

Single Conditioning:In single conditioning, one event has to happen (e.g. a tag is detected in the activation field) to trigger an egress alarm or other action. Single conditioning reacts the same for all monitored zone types (e.g. door, hallway, elevator, and automatic door). With single conditioning, if an active tag enters a monitored zone, the system will detect the tag and an egress alarm or other action will be activated. To clear the alarm, remove the tag from the zone and enter a valid code into the zone keypad.

Double Conditioning:In double conditioning, two events have to happen to generate an egress alarm or other action. Double conditioning is when a Magnetic Switch or Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) is connected to the LC Unit for that zone. Monitored zones with double conditioning include door and hallway, door with lock(s), elevator, and automatic door.

Double Conditioning – Door and Hallway:At a door zone, a tag must be detected in the zone and the door opened or PIR detection occurred to activate an egress alarm. In hallway zones, a tag must be detected in the zone and PIR detection occurred to activate an egress alarm. To clear the alarm, remove the tag from the zone and enter a valid code into the zone keypad.

Double Conditioning – Door with Locks:Although most locks can be interfaced with an LC Unit, the instructions hereafter are only applicable to the RATH® Magnetic Lock.

Perimeter Door Application

If an active tag enters a monitored door zone, the system will detect the tag. At that moment (provided the door is closed, has a magnetic lock(s), and the lock is unobstructed) the magnetic lock will energize, locking the door. The lock will remain locked for as long as the tag is in the monitored zone. When the tag leaves the monitored zone, the door will unlock after a specified period of time (18-32 seconds) as set by the potentiometer R43 (Tag Detect Timeout).

Note: For compliance reasons, the lock will automatically release within 15 seconds when a maintained force (less than 15 pounds required) is applied to the door. An audible tone will annunciate during this period. When the lock releases, the red LED will turn to solid green and the lock alarm will sound continuously.

Note: The lock will NOT engage (or will disengage) when a facility’s fire alarm is activated or power is lost.

Double Conditioning – Elevator:Elevator deactivation circuitry restricts the person wearing the tag from using an elevator. If a tag enters a monitored elevator zone, the elevator’s call button on that floor will be deactivated (call buttons on other floors are unaffected and no one is restricted from coming to the floor).

If the elevator car is en route to the floor when a tag approaches the zone, the elevator will arrive on the floor, the doors will open, and the system will alarm.

When a tag is in the monitored elevator zone and the elevator doors are open, the door will remain open and the alarm will sound.

Note: An additional relay board is required to enable elevator deactivation.

Double Conditioning – Automatic Door:If an active tag enters a monitored automatic door zone, the system will detect the tag and the automatic door operation (motion detector and/or push paddle) will be disabled. If the door is manually opened while the tag is in the zone, an egress alarm will sound. When the tag leaves the zone, the door will return to normal operation after the specified period of time (2-18 seconds) as set by the potentiometer R43 (Tag Detect Delay). To clear the alarm, remove the tag from the zone, close the door, and enter a valid code into the zone keypad.

The LC Unit can be used as a perimeter door system. In this mode, the door will alarm the instant it is opened regardless if there is a tag present. If the door has magnetic locks, the door will remain locked (lock energized at all times and requires a valid code to be input on the keypad or activation of a PBO to open the door. Delay egress circuitry will function normally if RATH® Magnetic Locks are used.

To use the LC Unit as a perimeter door system, remove the jumper from P1-1 and P1-2 (Perimeter Door).

To use the LC Unit as a part time perimeter door system, use a timer.

Internal vs. External AlarmThe LC Unit is equipped with an internal alarm as well as the ability to trigger external sounders.

The system is equipped with four internal alarms which include Egress, Tamper, Perimeter, and Power Loss Supervisor. The internal alarm volume is controlled by the Volume Control potentiometer R32.• Egress Alarm: Occurs when a tag enters a monitored zone and contact closures are opened (usually interfaced with a Magnetic Switch or PIR)• Tamper Alarm: Occurs when the LC Unit cover is removed and the tamper switch is disengaged• Perimeter Alarm: Occurs when the LC Unit is in Perimeter Door Mode and the contact closures are open (i.e. the door is open)• Power Loss Supervisor

LC UnitSpecifications• Power Requirements:15VDC @0.250mA; 15VDC/2A switching regulated plug-in power supply provided with LC System• Temperature: Optimal range is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside this range may cause premature component or device failure• Weight: Approximately 1 lb• Terminal Block Ratings: 300V, 10A on a single pin• Current Draw: Each piece of equipment added successively • LC Unit only – 250mA • With 1 door contact – closed 82mA, open 74mA • With 1 keypad – reset with alarm 158mA, reset with no alarm 113mA • With 2 keypads – 165mA

MountingPositioning the LC Unit correctly helps avoid unintended activation. Recommended positioning of LC Unit includes:• On the latch side of the door a minimum of 2 feet from the floor• At least 3 inches away from any type of metal including door frames, studs, lathe walls, electrical boxes, metal conduit, and pipes• Within maximum of 18 inches of the monitored door or elevator (recommended is 3-6 inches)• Do NOT mount the LC Unit in the ceiling as it will not provide proper coverage

• With Secondary Unit – 153mA• With power to 8 zone LC SAP – 189mA• With 1 lock – 300mA• With 2 locks – 600mA

Figure 2.3 Positioning the LC Unit Controller (Hallway/Elevator)

Figure 2.2 Positioning the LC Unit Controller (Double Door)

1. After selecting the mounting location, remove the cover and screws2. Drill four mounting holes in the wall that correspond to the mounting holes on the LC Unit3. Install the four anchors4. Install the top two screws, leaving 1/8th inch exposed5. Make appropriate wire accommodations (e.g. fishing wires through back cover or planning conduit interface)6. Install the bottom two screws7. Tighten all four mounting screws8. Adjust the tamper switch as needed a. The tamper switch is designed to be held closed with pressure between the contact of the clip and the outside case. b. After initial installation and wiring you will need to enter a keypad reset. If you receive a tamper alarm after the reset, the switch needs to be adjusted. c. To adjust the tamper switch, use needle-nosed pliers to gently bend the clip outward to ensure proper contact with the outside case. Make only small adjustments as repeated bending can cause the clip to break. d. Once adjusted, enter a keypad reset to confirm.

IMPORTANT: Keep all televisions, computers, X-ray equipment, etc. at least 10 feet away from the LC 1200 to avoid interference. This includes equipment located on the other side of walls and doors. Picture the area around the monitored zone as a big globe with the receiving antenna as the center. Keep all sources of interference outside this globe.

IMPORTANT: Do not store LC Sensor(s) within 3 feet of ANY of the sources of electrical noise listed below. These sources can induce sensor activation.

• Fluorescent lighting• Some electronic washers and dryers• X-ray and other imaging equipment• Unshielded computer cables

Common sources of interference include:• Television sets• Computer monitors• Medical monitoring equipment• Electric motors• Electrical distribution panels and transformers

Wiring• The LC Unit uses a 15VDC 2A switching regulated plug-in for power (do not connect plug-in power supply to a receptacle controlled by a switch)• All wiring connections must be done in accordance with NFPA 70• UL-approved, plenum-rated cable is required• For instructions on wiring to the LC Unit, refer to the chapter of the component you are interfacing with

Operations• LED1 – Indicates strength of the activation field and should be illuminated when the LC unit has power• LED2 – Indicates signal is present in the immediate area• LED3 – Indicates signal is present in the general area• LED4 – Indicates Delayed Tag Detect function is active• LED5 – Indicates an active tag is in the area

TuningTuning may be necessary during initial installation as some environmental conditions may require slight deviation from the factory default settings.

To increase any of the system potentiometers, turn them clockwise.

CAUTION: Power should be removed, by unplugging the device, before making any adjustments.

• C2 (Tuning capacitor) – Maximizes Activation Field strength of the chosen frequency • Looser setting yields lower frequencies; Tighter setting yields higher frequencies• R4 (Tx Gain) – Controls the range of the Activation Field; the Activation Field can be reduced or expanded to accommodate the needs of each zone• R16 (Rx Gain) – Controls the gain of the received signal amplifier• R26 (Rx Sensitivity) – Controls the sensitivity of the internal receiver• R32 (Volume Control) – Controls the volume of the internal alarm• R43 (Tag Detect Timeout) – Controls the delay in detecting a tag which can range from 18-32 seconds (23 seconds recommended)

Stagger TuningStagger Tuning allows monitored zones to be located closer than the minimum 70 feet by using different Tx operating frequencies for adjacent zones. To enable Stagger Tuning, set adjacent LC Units to alternating frequencies.

Note: If using a Secondary Unit, it must be set to the same frequency as the main LC Unit.

The LC Unit is equipped with two different frequency options. To set the frequency, apply Jumper JP1 to position 1-2 to select the Y1 frequency (130khz) or to position 2-3 to select the Y2 frequency (132khz).

CAUTION: Power should be removed, by unplugging the device, before making any adjustments.

Reapply power once the adjustments are complete and reset the zone by entering a valid code into the keypad.

TagsIt is recommended that tags are tested weekly by simply entering a monitored zone and confirming the alarm is activated. Each tag is equipped with a status LED.

Tags operate using an internal battery. Over the course of normal operation, the tag will eventually lose battery power and the tag will need to be replaced. Tag batteries are not replaceable. To preserve battery life, tags should be turned off with a Secure Tag Activator/Deactivator (S-TAD) during storage or periods of non-use. Tags should be stored at least 3 feet away from sources of electrical noise and stored in a metal container with a lid.

Tags can be reused as long as sufficient battery life remains and they MUST be cleaned and sanitized between applications. The best cleaning methods are wiping with antibacterial wipes or hydrogen peroxide using a soft cloth. Seek guidance from an Infection Control representative for other approved cleaners that can be used on plastics.

CAUTION: When cleaning tags, DO NOT submerge or soak, use solvents or abrasive cleaners/cloths, put tags in the dishwasher, washing machine, or dryer, or steam clean.

Each system comes with a Red Test Tag used to verify zone coverage and troubleshoot. To verify zone coverage:1. Activate the Red Test Tag2. Holding the tag, slowly approach each zone at various angles and orientations. The tag’s LED will change state when it detects the zone’s Activation Field.3. If a zone’s coverage is not at an acceptable level, first examine the surrounding area for any obstacles that could affect the zone before making any adjustments.4. When finished, deactivate the tag using an S-TAD

Note: Due to each facility’s unique conditions, the Red Test Tag cannot give an exact measurement of zone coverage, only an estimation of zone coverage.

BandsAll tag bands are intended for one-time use only. For long term applications, it is recommended to replace the band periodically to ensure cleanliness is maintained. Extra bands should be stored in a clean, dry environment.

Secure Tag Activation/Deactivation (S-TAD)The Secure Tag Activation/Deactivation (S-TAD) is used to determine if a tag has sufficient battery power and requires a 9-volt battery (replaced as needed) to operate. It can also be used to activate/deactivate tags to help preserve battery life and prevent nuisance alarms.

To turn the S-TAD on, press the Power/Clear button until the LED illuminates. The S-TAD is equipped with a built-in power saving feature that automatically turns the device off after a period of inactivity. Store in a clean, dry environment when not in use.

The S-TAD should be cleaned periodically using antibacterial wipes. DO NOT use abrasive cleaners or cloths.

Summary of LEDs• WAIT LED – The tag is in the process of being turned on or off during S-TAD unlocking• LOW TAG BATTERY LED – A low tag battery is detected and the tag should be replaced• TAG LED – An active tag is nearby• POWER/CLEAR LED – S-TAD is powered• ENTER LED – S-TAD is unlocked

Test Tag StationsThe Test Tag Station (TTS) verifies a tag’s ID number, type, battery level, warranty date, and manufacture date without having to activate the tag using the S-TAD as well as generating reports.

To Use:1. Install the software application and connect the TTS to your computer via USB2. Open the TAG TEST STATION icon to view events from the TTS3. Select the desired COMM port from the drop-down menu under COMM PORT a. A notification will pop up stating PORT COMMxx CONNECTED: TAG TEST STATION DETECTED-FIELD ON-[NO READ/WRITES ACTIVE] b. If you do not see this message, restart the computer and repeat these steps

To test and receive data from a tag, place the tag face down into the square receptacle of the TTS. The tag does not need to be activated. The TTS will display a blue LED indicating power. When the tag is placed into the TTS, the yellow LED will illuminate to indicate the TTS is reading the data.

It takes the TTS approximately 25 seconds to fully read the tag. The software will provide:• Tag #• Bar code #: Indicates manufacture date, e.g. 4209 indicates the 42nd week of 2009• Tag State: Whether the tag is on or off• Tag Type: LT or SB• Warranty Date• Battery Level: 1-100% indicates useful tag battery life. 0% indicates the tag needs to be replaced and use of the tag should be discontinued.

Once the tag data is read, the information can be logged and a report can be generated. Enter any associated notes in the NOTES field and select the LOG RESULTS button to save.

To view saved reports, go to the REPORTS field and select the SHOW REPORTS icon. The Reports screen will pop up. Select the desired dates, then select the RUN REPORT button to generate the results. This information includes:• Date and Time Tag was Tested• Tag #• Tag Type• Warranty Expiration Date• Remaining Useful Battery Life• Low Battery Indication• Battery evaluation (to log this info, toggle the tag on, then off when testing)• Notes entered when the tag was tested and logged

Reports can be saved for future reference.

Note: Remove the tag from the TTS once testing is completed.

Magnetic SwitchesMagnetic Switches are used on doors where alarm activation is only needed when the door is opened while a tag is in the activation field. Magnetic Switches do not require any power and are equipped with dry contacts rated for 175VDC. Each switch weighs approximately 1 ounce. Ideal operating temperature is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside of this range may cause premature failure.

Magnetic Switches are usually located at the top of the monitored door, on the doorstop. The part that contains the switch is mounted on the header or doorframe. The part that contains the activating magnet is mounted on the door itself. A recessed model is also available.

Installation:Position the Magnetic Switch so that it is closest to the latch side of the door. If a Magnetic Lock is used, mount the switch closest to the latch side and the lock immediately after it. Once the location is selected:1. Follow the mounting hole pattern below to drill two 7/64” (0.109) mounting holes in the doorframe to accommodate the switch.2. Use the provided self-tapping screws to mount the switch, being careful not to oversize the holes.3. Drill a 5/16” (0.312) pass-through hole in the doorframe to accommodate the wire input to the switch. Note: The doorframe hole should be drilled so that that wire will come up just under the middle screw terminal of the switch. If this hole is drilled too far from the body of the switch, the cover will not be able to hide the hole. Note: Be sure to deburr the hole to prevent damage to the wires.4. Connect the wires a. Feed the 22AWG, 2 conductor wire through the larger hole and strip enough insulation to make a good connection to the switch. b. Connect the RED wire from the P2-4 (Door Switch In) on the LC Unit to the COM terminal of the switch.

5. Position the switch over the mounting holes6. Insert a mounting screw into each mounting hole and secure the switch in place Note: Be careful not to pinch the wires when tightening7. Use the spacer provided to position the door magnet as shown. Mark where the mounting holes will be drilled.8. Drill the 7/64” (0.109) mounting holes. Mount the magnet with the 1/8” spacer between the magnet and the door. Note: If the doorframe is metal, the spacer MUST be mounted between the magnet and the door or the magnet will lose effectiveness.

IMPORTANT:• All wiring connections must be done in accordance with NFPA 70• Wire MUST be 22 AWG, 2 conductor plenum rated cable• Use ONLY UL approved, plenum rated cable

Passive Infrared ReaderThe Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) is for indoor use only. It is typically used in hallways where there is no door to mount a Magnetic Switch or with elevators where it is undesirable to mount anything on the door or frame of the car. The PIR requires 12VDC power and has a contact rating of 100mA @24VDC and is accompanied by a 15VDC/2A switching regulated plug-in power supply. Each PIR is approximately 2.8 ounces. Ideal operating temperature is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside this range may cause premature failure.

For the best coverage, ceiling mount the PIR. Wall mounting may result in detection beyond the desired area.

PIR Masking:Each PIR is equipped with 3 beams. The low beam reaches 10’, the middle beam reaches 30’, and the high beam reaches 40-60’. Masking is done by covering one or more of the beams to reduce the range. If, afteradjusting the beam angle, the coverage area is still too large and is overlapping into undesired areas, follow the masking method to reduce the coverage area. 1. Place one strip of electrical tape horizontally across the top of the PIR lens to cover the high beam2. Test the range of the PIR3. If the range is still too high, place one additional strip of tape horizontally across the middle of the PIR lens to cover the middle beam4. Test the range of the PIR5. OPTIONAL: If the range is extending too far out to the sides, place strips of tape vertically on the sides of the PIR lens to cover all outward beams and produce a narrower coverage area. Then test the PIR range.

Installation:• More precise and focused the placement reduces the likelihood of nuisance alarms• Maximum coverage area wall-to-wall curtain is 50 feet x 60 feet• The PIR MUST be pointed at an object (e.g. the floor) to be able to detect• DO NOT point the PIR at a reflective surface (e.g. mirrors, windows) as they can distort the coverage pattern• When mounting near an elevator, avoid nuisance alarms by locating the PIR an adequate distance away from the elevator doors

1. Push in the tag at the bottom of the case and pull the cover straight out at the bottom2. Loosen the PCB screw and push the board up as far as it will go3. Using a small screwdriver, remove the appropriate knockouts for the mounting screws4. Remove the left and/or right wiring entrance knockouts located at the top of the backplate5. Mount the backplate to the wall using the supplied screws a. For wall and ceiling installations, use the two knockouts at the back of the base b. For corner or 45° mounting, use the knockouts on the angled sides Note: Make sure the PIR is fastened securely to the mounting surface to avoid vibrations6. Connect the wires a. Connect the WHITE wire from the PIR to the P2-3 (Door Switch Out) on the LC Unit b. Connect the GREEN wire from the PIR to the P2-4 (Door Switch In) on the LC Unit c. Connect the BLACK wire from the PIR to the P3-4 (Ground) on the LC Unit d. Connect the RED wire from the PIR to the P3-2 (+12V) on the LC Unit7. Adjust the PIR beam angle (if needed) a. Loosen the PCB screw and move the board up or down. The scale on the lower right side of the board indicates the angle. i. Moving the PCB down will INCREASE the far range and move the near beams farther out from the mounting location ii. Moving the PCB up will DECREASE the far range and move the near beams closer to the mounting wall b. Tighten the adjustment screw to secure in place

Keypads

Figure 7.13 Wiring the Keypad

Keypads are used to escort residents through a monitored zone as well as to reset equipment once an alarm has occurred. The keypad should be located within 3 to 5 feet of the monitored door or elevator. For hallway applications, mount the keypad just outside the zone to avoid alarm activation when escorting monitored residents. The keypad is designed to be surface mounted using the white back box provided.

Installation:1. Surface Mounting (Recommended Method) a. Using a screwdriver, separate the keypad from the back box by removing the two screws b.

The magnetic lock engages when a tag is within the activation field and remains engaged as long as the tag stays within the field. The lock will disengage on during the following conditions:• All tags leave the activation field and the preset delay times out (18-32 seconds as set by the Tag Detect Timeout)• Keypad Reset occurs• A PBO is activated• The facility’s fire alarm is activated• Removal of power for any reason• Delayed Egress Circuitry

Delayed Egress Circuitry:Delayed Egress Circuitry is when a maintained force (less than 15 lb required) is applied for a defined period of time (between 1 and 3 seconds). This feature works in compliance with NFPA 101 Life Safety Codes 5-2.1.6.1. While the magnetic locks activate when an active tag approaches, the door can still be opened after 15 seconds (including the 1 or 3 second nuisance delay) with constant applied force on the door.

An audible tone annunciates both countdown and release. When the lock releases, the red LED turns to solid green and the alarm sounds continuously.

To reset the zone after an alarm, close the door and enter a valid code into the keypad.

Setting the Nuisance Alarm Delay Time:• To select a 1-second delay, set the Position 3 System Selector Switch S3 to the OFF position.• To select a 3-second delay, set the Position 3 System Selector Switch S3 to the ON position.

Setting the Delayed Egress Time:• To select a 15-second delay, set the Position 4 System Selector Switch S3 to the OFF position.• To select a 30-second delay, set the Position 4 System Selector Switch S3 to the ON position.

Specifications:Power Requirements: 12VDC @300mA; 15VDC/2A Switching Regulated Plug-In Power Supply (provided)Temperature: Ideal operating range is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside this range may result in premature failure.Weight: Approximately 11 lb

Mounting: To mount, follow the instructions provided with the lock.

Wiring:• All wiring must be done in accordance with NFPA 70 • UL approved, 18 AWG, 6 conductor, plenum rated cable is required

For instructions on wiring the Magnetic Lock, refer to the instructions provided with the lock. Some state codes require that all lock and elevator deactivation circuitry be wired into the facility’s fire alarm system. This is done so that, in the event of a fire, any lock or elevator deactivation unit disengages to allow free egress.

Adjusting the Egress Sensor Wheel:Accurate adjustments will help prevent nuisance alarms.

To adjust the sensor pin:1. With the door closed and latched, apply power to terminals 1 and 2

Magnetic LocksEach magnetic lock is comprised of a lock housing, an electromagnetic coil, and an armature. The coil and housing assembly mounts rigidly to the door frame and the armature mounts to the door (allowing for it to pivot slightly to accommodate minor door irregularities). When the door is closed and the lock is energized, the armature is magnetically bonded to the lock face, securing the door without using any moving parts.

2. Slide Position 1 System Selector Switch S3 to the ON position to activate Set-Up Mode. The lock should now be unlocked and the LED off.3. Open the door. Temporarily remove the adjustment wheel stop from the armature mounting plate and set aside. Close the door.4. With an active tag present, observe the LED on the circuit board. It should be illuminated red. a. If not, rotate the adjustment wheel counter-clockwise as needed to ensure the plunger is fully depressed on the lock. b. Rattle the door to ensure the LED remains illuminated.5. Unlatch and slowly open the door. The LED will shut off as soon as the door opens far enough for the plunger to fully project.6. Once adjustment is complete, re-install the adjustment wheel stop.7. Close the door and slide the selector switch S3 to the OFF position.8. To test, unlatch and push the door until the delay egress triggers (1 or 3 seconds). The annunciator will sound and the LED will flash red. After 15 seconds the lock will release.

Elevator DeactivationElevator Deactivation will engage when a tag is detected at a monitored elevator landing. If the elevator is at the floor where the tag is detected, the alarm will sound, the elevator doors will remain open, and the call button will be deactivated. Once the tag is no longer in the activation field, a keypad reset will be needed to reset the zone. If the elevator is on another floor, the system will prevent the elevator from being called to that floor by deactivating the elevator call button at that floor. These actions will remain in place until the tag is no longer in the activation field and for an adjustable delay afterward, after which time the zone will automatically reset.

It is necessary to work with the facility’s elevator company in order to enable and connect the Elevator Deactivation circuitry.

Specifications:Power Requirements: 12VDC; 15VDC/2A Switching Regulated Plug-In Power Supply (provided)Temperature: IdIeal operating range is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside this range may result in premature failure.Weight: Approximately 3.5 lb

Mounting:The cabinet containing the relays for the Elevator Deactivation circuitry should be located in the room containing the elevator controls.

Local or State Code may require the wire to be run in conduit. Be sure to check with your local AHJ before beginning work.

1. Select the mounting location and appropriate mounting hardware2. Open the Elevator Deactivation cabinet and locate the four mounting holes3. Using the cabinet as a template, mark and drill dour mounting holes in the mounting surface4. Push out one of the knock outs in the cabinet for wire/conduit access5. Connect conduit or strain relief fittings6. Position the cabinet over the holes in the mounting surface and secure the cabinet using the mounting hardware

Wiring:• All wiring must be done in accordance with NFPA 70 • UL approved, 22 AWG, 6 conductor, plenum rated cable is required • Some state codes require that all lock and elevator deactivation circuitry be wired into the facility’s fire alarm system. This is done so that, in the event of a fire, any lock or elevator deactivation unit disengages to allow free egress.

If a door position switch is activated by the elevator controls, use the previously wired terminals on the 4-position screw terminal strip in the Elevator Deactivation cabinet to connect a dry contact. If a door position switch is not available, then a Passive Infrared Reader (PIR) is focused near the monitored opening and wired to the Controller.

Summary for the Elevator CompanyThe following is a brief summary of Elevator Deactivation that can be given to the Elevator Company.

Call Button DeactivationWhen a Tag is detected in the monitored Elevator zone, the LC Unit energizes Relay K2 and the Call Button for that Elevator zone is deactivated. When the K2 Relay is de-energized, the Call Button is reactivated.

Elevator Car DeactivationWhen a Tag is detected in the monitored Elevator zone and there is an indication of an open door at a monitored zone, the LC unit energizes Relay K1. If the elevator car is at the floor (with doors open) the elevator will be deactivated. If the elevator car is on its way to that floor, it will continue to that floor and upon arrival (with doors open) will be deactivated. As long as relay K1 is energized, the elevator doors will remain open preventing the car from leaving the floor. When Relays K1 is de-energized, the Elevator will return to normal operation.

Automatic Door DeactivationIn automatic door applications, where doors open via a motion sensor or push paddle, this feature can be deactivated when a tag is detected within the activation fields of a monitored zone. When a tag is detected in the activation field, the motion detector and/or push paddle is disabled. If a door is opened manually, when a tag is detected, an alarm will sound. Once the tag leaves the activation field, the door will return to functioning normally after the preset delay time (18-32 seconds as set by the Tag Detect Timeout) has passed. To reset and alarm, remove the tag from the activation field, close the door, and enter a valid code into the keypad.

Specifications:Power Requirements: 12VDC; 15VDC/2A Switching Regulated Plug-In Power Supply (provided)Temperature: Ideal operating range is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside this range may result in premature failure.Weight: Approximately 3lb

Mounting:Automatic Door Deactivation is enclosed in a 6” x 6” x 4” cabinet and should be located in the room containing the door controls. Use hardware appropriate for the weight, size, and mounting surface.

Specifications:Power Requirements: 12VDC; 15VDC/2A Switching Regulated Plug-In Power Supply (provided)Temperature: Ideal operating range is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside this range may result in premature failure.Weight (including cabinet): Approximately 1 lb

Mounting:The FPI is enclosed in a 6” x 6” x 2” cabinet and should be located in the room containing the fire alarm controls. Use appropriate hardware for the weight, size, and mounting surface.

Testing:The facility must provide an unused dry contact in the fire alarm system for each FPI. This contact must be closed during non-alarm state and must OPEN in case of a fire alarm or loss of fire alarm function.

WARNING: Before testing the system, notify the facility and the local fire department that testing of the fire alarm system will be taking place.

To verify the fire alarm dry contacts:1. Connect an ohmmeter across the dry contacts a. There should be continuity in the non-alarm state (contact closed) b. There should NEVER be voltage on this contact2. Trip the fire alarm to verify the contact changes state a. You should see an OPEN on your meter3. Reset the fire alarm and verify contacts go back to their closed state

Wiring:• All wiring must be done in accordance with NFPA 70• UL approved, 18 AWG, 2 conductor, plenum rated cable is required• For instructions on wiring the FPI, refer to the wiring sections related to the component you are using (e.g. Magnetic Locks, Elevator Deactivation, etc.)• A separate dry contact must be used for each LC Unit that controls a Lock, Elevator Deactivation, or Automatic Door Deactivation. This dry contact must come directly from the facility’s fire panel or from the FPI. The FPI will allow multiple LC Units to be connected to the fire panel.

IMPORTANT: For fire code safety, the FPI must be powered separately from an LC Unit.

Pins 1 and 2 (Power):• Two separate 2 conductor cable runs are needed from the +15VDC power supply to pins 1 and 2• Note the positive and negative outputs

Pins 3 and 4 (Fire Voltage):• The dry contacts from the fire panel connect to pins 3 (C) and 4 (NC) of P1 on the FPI• Pin 3 is simply +12VDC that is sent out through the fire alarm contacts• Pin 4 is the return of the voltage and should only be present when the fire alarm system is working properly and the fire alarm is not engaged

Pins 5 and 6 (Central Override):• Pins 5 (C) and 6 (NC) of P1 on the FPI are for central override contacts• When using more than one FPI, each FPI should have its own central override switch

Pins 7 and 8 (Fire Alarm Indicator):• Pins 7 (DPLY) and 8 (G) of P1 on the FPI are the auxiliary output typically used to power a Fire Alarm Indicator LED at a Staff Alert or Graphic Panel• Pin 7 is the signal• Pin 8 is the ground

Pins 9 and 10 (Reset):• Pins 9 (C) and 10 (NO) of P1 on the FPI are the reset pins• The push button switch in the cover of the FPI is connected to these two points

Note: On the FPI, connector P2 has 8 pairs of contacts for each of the 8 LC Units that can be connected to the FPI.

TimerThe LC Unit can be interfaced with a timer which allows the user to engage or disengage certain system functions on a time schedule. A typical application would be at a perimeter door that has high traffic during the day, but has very low traffic at night. During the day the door could allow free ingress and egress for staff and visitors, but at night the door could be locked for added security for staff and residents. The Timer uses military time and can be set for daily, weekly, or block period events.

Specifications:Power Requirements: 12VDC minimum; 15VDC/2A Switching Regulated Plug-In Power Supply (provided)Temperature: Ideal operating range is between 35° and 90° F. Operation outside this range may result in premature failure.Weight (including cabinet): Approximately 2 lb

System Maintenace and TestingPeriodic testing of critical performance functions can help prevent undetected security system failures. System testing should only be done by trained personnel and should be performed on a regular basis.

System TestingNotify all staff and security prior to performing any testing.

The FPI should be tested concurrently with the facility’s fire alarm system testing. Notify the local fire department before conducting any testing of the FPI.

Tags will need to be designated that are used solely for testing purposes. An S-TAD is needed to activate the designated tags in order to conduct system testing.

Each monitored zone should be evaluated to confirm the function performs as programmed when a tag is present or a monitored action is performed.

Timer 1 ON --:--

Off 00:00

When testing a zone, vary your approach angle to ensure there is adequate coverage from all angles leading to the monitored zone.

If Any Test Fails:• Notify staff and security of the vulnerable area• Check for visible damage or tampering to zone equipment• Verify power to the zone equipment• Verify the FPI is set properly• Contact RATH® Technical Support at 800-451-1460 ext. 3
