Ness ECO8x Installation & Programming Manual

OUTPUTS
MONITORED ZONES
The Ness ECO8x has multiple monitored inputs.
8 fully programmable zone inputs. (Monitored by end of line
resistor).
1 x 24 hour Box Tamper input. (Normally Closed input.
Resistor is not required).
ZONE INPUTS
Each zone input must be terminated with a 2K2 (2200 ohm)
resistor as supplied. All inputs must be sealed with an EOL
resistor.
For wiring details of Keypads, Keyswitches, Panic Buttons
and Warning devices, see the wiring diagrams in the wiring
section of this manual.
AC INPUT TERMINALS
These terminals are for the connection of AC power. The
Ness ECO8x requires an AC transformer rating of 1.4 Amps
@ 17 V AC minimum. (Ness Part No. 840-029 or POW215)
BATTERY
These terminals are for the connection of a sealed lead-acid
rechargeable 12 Volt battery. Charge current is limited to
350mA. The charge voltage is factory preset at 13.8V and
does not need changing. Note: A 12 Volt sealed lead acid
rechargeable battery must be connected for correct panel
operation. Observe correct polarity when connecting the
battery.
(Ness Part Number BAT210 12V 7Ah battery)
EARTH
For maximum protection against damage caused by
lightning strikes, connect a good earth to this terminal.
Alternatively use the Earth lead from the plug pack.
PROG/TAMP – Program Link & Internal Tamper Input
The PROG/TAMP link has two purposes:
1. To enter Installer Program Mode on initial power up.
Power-up with the PROG link OFF. The PROG link (or Box
Tamper lead) must be ON in operating mode.
2. Box Tamper. When used with the Internal Tamper Lead
(supplied), PROG/TAMP serves as the 24hr tamper input for
the panel’s internal tamper switch. This circuit should not be
wired external to the box.
Replace the PROG Link with the Box Tamper Lead. Connect
the Internal Tamper Lead spade terminals directly to the
terminals of the internal tamper switch (supplied). An end-of-
line resistor is NOT required on this input.
When PROG/TAMP is used for Internal Tamper, powering
up with the panel’s cover open will enter Installer Program
Mode.
INPUTS
12 VOLT OUTPUT
A regulated 13.8 VDC output is available to power detectors
and other equipment. This output is protected by an Automatic
Reset fuse.
A maximum load of 500mA may be connected.
SIREN
The on-board siren driver will drive a maximum of 3 x 8 ohm
horn speakers (Ness Part No. NOI110). The output will reset
at the end of siren time (P29E) or whenever the panel is reset,
whichever comes first.
This output is protected by an Automatic Reset fuse.
STR
A latched 12VDC output for connecting strobe lights.
This output will reset after 72 hours (3 days) or when the panel
is disarmed.
A maximum of 2 x 1 Watt Strobes (Ness Part No. NOI300) can
be connected to this output.
This output is protected by an Automatic Reset fuse.
RESET
A 12V DC output for connecting Ness sirens, piezo sirens
or relays, etc. This output will reset at the end of siren time
(P29E) or whenever the panel is reset, whichever comes first.
A maximum of 2 x 12V piezo screamers (Ness Part No. 100-
238, 100-004, 100-172) can be connected to this output.
This output is protected by an Automatic Reset fuse.
AUX1
The Aux 1 output is on the main terminal strip. Programmable
for Smoke Detector power, Area1 arm output or Radio Key
AUX button output (default), see program option P65E. Max.
current draw 200mA.
AUX2
The Aux2 output is a two pin header J3. Aux2 is an open
collector output (switches negative). Programmable for various
types of outputs, see program option P66E. Max. current draw
100mA.
OUTPUT FUSING. The 12V outputs, Siren, Reset and
Strobe outputs are protected by Automatic Reset elec-
tronic fuses. These outputs will automatically reset once
the overload is removed.
BACKUP BATTERY. A properly charged battery must
be installed to ensure the Siren, Strobe and Reset outputs
operate correctly.
SIREN LOAD. A maximum output of 2.0A continuous is
available from the SIREN and RESET outputs and 200mA
from the STR output.
Recommended maximum power load:
3 x Horn speakers (SIREN output)
2 x Strobe lights (STR output)
2 x Ness Internal Sirens (100-172) (RESET output)
Note: (This assumes no more than 500mA is being drawn from the
12V device outputs).
