EPA-NG Issue 05

Both Versions include: Two button operation, instant operation, latching, LED activation

indication, selectable EOL settings and keyless reset by holding down both buttons for 5 seconds.

Plus Version also includes: Optional conrmed output, one or two button operation, timed

delay operation if required, latching or non latching, LED or no LED activation indicator.

4:- Unconrmed/Conrmed operation (this option is not available on standard version).

Unconrmed operation is the normal operating mode of any hold-up device, creating an alarm

situation on the button press.

If conrmed operation is selected, an alarm signal is generated on the rst push of two buttons together

and the LED will turn orange. A conrmation signal is generated from a separate relay following a

second sustained push of 1.5 seconds of both buttons, the LED turns red. This second output signal may

be used to trigger another zone, or is capable of switching other equipment such as video or audio

devices. This secondary signal can be used as conrmation that the unit has not been accidentally

triggered. In the event that the conrmed operation is enabled and only the rst double push is

received, the unit will only allow one minute to accept the second conrmed double push. After this

time the unit will reset automatically back to its normal state indicated by the green LED.

5:- Alarm LED indication/No indication (this option is not available on standard version).

Alarm indication is basically as already discussed. Normal healthy state is green, turning red on

activation. Flashing orange as required. If the no indication is enabled, the LED will only light green to

indicate power, and will stay lit throughout. This mode is not applicable in timed operation, which

requires the LED to indicate the state of operation. The LED will ash red to indicate incorrect selection.

6:- Non EOL operation/EOL operation

If EOL monitoring is required, enable via jumper and connect to NC1 and A/T2

The built in EOL resistance, which must be selected with jumpers are as follows:

Type A 1K 1K EOL selection

Type B 4K7 2K2 EOL selection

Type D 5K6 5K6 EOL selection

Type E 6K8 4K7 EOL selection

If EOL is required on the conrmed output, resistors must be tted to the terminals NC2/NC3/Spare

as shown in diagram.

Reset

. To reset after operation, push and hold down both buttons for 5 seconds. Green LED indication

conrms the reset.

The CQR Electronic Panic Attack/Hold-up Device, with UK Registered Design 4007887, is a security device designed for panic and hold-up situations. It is suitable for use in systems installed to conform to PD6662:2017 at Grade 2 & 3 and environmental class II.

Function Description:

The device is primarily a hold-up alarm. In its standard configuration, it operates as a two-button device, requiring both buttons to be pressed simultaneously (though not necessarily at the exact same time, as long as both are down at some point) to trigger an alarm. The "Plus" version offers additional functionality, including optional confirmed output, one or two-button operation, and timed delay operation.

Operating Modes:

Unconfirmed Operation: This is the normal operating mode for a hold-up device, generating an alarm signal immediately upon button press.
Confirmed Operation (Plus Version Only): If selected, an alarm signal is generated on the first push of two buttons, and the LED turns orange. A confirmation signal is generated from a separate relay following a second sustained push of 1.5 seconds of both buttons, at which point the LED turns red. This secondary signal can be used to trigger another zone, or to switch other equipment like video or audio devices, serving as confirmation that the unit was not accidentally triggered. If only the first double push is received, the unit allows one minute to accept the second confirmed double push, after which it automatically resets to its normal state (green LED). This mode is not operational in single-button mode.
Latching Operation: If selected, the unit requires a manual reset after activation. This is achieved by pushing and holding down both buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds or more.
Non-Latching Operation (Plus Version Only): In this mode, the unit automatically resets 5 seconds after activation.
Untimed Operation: Activates immediately on button press, typical for hold-up devices.
Timed Operation (Plus Version Only): On power-up, the LED flashes orange intermittently, indicating the delay time needs setting. This is done by pushing the left button multiple times (up to 24 pushes, each representing a 5-second delay increment, for a maximum of 2 minutes). To confirm and complete programming, the right button is pressed. The LED flashes red the number of times the button was pressed to confirm the set delay, then turns green. Activation occurs via the left button, starting the countdown. The countdown stops if the right button is pressed. If not cancelled, an alarm signal is generated upon expiration of the delay, either latched or unlatched. During countdown, the LED flashes orange, then turns red upon completion. If both buttons are pressed simultaneously in timed mode, the unit alarms immediately. If no input is received within 3 minutes of power-up, the unit will flash green and orange, operating as a standard 2-button PA for one emergency operation only, and programming mode becomes unusable until re-powered. This mode ignores item 3 (Two/One button operation) and item 4 (confirmed operation) and is not compatible with them.

LED Indication:

Green: Healthy supply, non-alarm condition.
Steady Red: On power-up or alarm condition, reset required.
Flashing Red: Error condition (incompatible selection or jumper missing). The unit will be non-functional until corrected.
Steady Orange: Unconfirmed alarm condition.
Flashing Orange: Time delay needs setting, or set time delay is counting down.
Flashing Orange/Green: Timed mode has set a default following an unattended power down.
No Indication (Plus Version Only): If enabled, the LED only lights green to indicate power and stays lit. This mode is not applicable in timed operation, which requires the LED to indicate the state of operation. The LED will flash red to indicate incorrect selection.
