INTRODUCTION
1. INTRODUCTION
The Vega repeater panels are used at remote locations where a repeat of the main
control panel information or control functions are required. The repeater panels have
been designed to be modular in configuration and are capable of meeting the
requirements of most major systems. The repeater control panel has been designed
to meet the requirements of the EN54 standard parts 2 and 4.
The repeater control panel is available in various formats, which will define the style
of the repeater panel.
(Type 1) Repeater panel with no user controls
(Type 2) Repeater panel with user controls
It is possible to connect to the main Vega control panel a maximum of 64 repeater
panels, however a restriction of 15 repeaters (maximum) with controls is only
permissible. The type of the unit is achieved by use of an addressing switch located
within each repeater panel upon the main display card (44782-K077). The 15
repeater panels with controls have the capability of having 24 characters of text
assigned to them for site location purposes. The 24 characters of text are
programmable via the VIPER programming software or via the main control panel's
membrane. It is also possible to program the internal sounder circuit and VFCO
within the repeater panel in the same manner.
For repeaters with controls the membrane fascia of the repeater panels are identical
to those used upon the main control panels, with the LCD receive only repeater
having reduced operation. The status and zone indications and the user keys are
identical to those of the main control panel and have the same operational functions.
1.1 DISPLAY AND INDICATIONS
The liquid crystal display (LCD) provides an 8-line text graphical display which is
used for the showing of activations which may occur upon the system. Each line
displays the relevant information for the activation, which has occurred on the system
and when multiple activations occur these will be displayed upon different lines. The
display informs the user when different priority alarms are active and these can be
viewed by the operation of the membrane control keys. User information appears
along the bottom line of the display, which gives on screen prompts for the user when
operating the control panel.
