congurations. Connect terminals 14 & 15 to the panelboard bus bars for L1 & L2
respectively, using the correct color wire (orange and brown). Connect terminals 12 &
13 to the panel reference ground bus using green wires. These wires must be
separate individual conductors, each terminated on its own separate terminal of the
reference ground bus, to preserve the LIM’s ground loss detection function.
From the control terminal block (TB-Remote), connect the low-voltage terminals to
external devices as indicated in Figure 2. If possible use the same color wires that are
on the “factory side” of the terminal block for remote annunciators, making logical
substitutions where necessary. Avoid the use of orange, brown, or green wires for
remotes or other low-voltage connections for easy identication and future
maintenance except when matching factory wiring.
The Mark V is compatible ONLY with PG LifeLink remote annunciator models DRA-1
and DRA-VS. Damage may result if non-compatible remotes are connected. Other
models, including those from other manufacturers, may be adapted to work with
the Mark V in some cases, if sufcient application information is available. Consult PG
LifeLink applications engineering for assistance with specic models, including
replacement units or upgrades.
Each Mark V supports up to four (4ea.) model DRA-1 or two (2ea.) model DRA-VS
remotes connected in parallel. The total length of control wire between the LIM and
all remotes is limited to 300 ft. for DRA-1 and 150 ft. for DRA-VS remotes (refer to
gure 2 for wire gauge). Greater distances can be accommodated in some cases by
increasing the wire gauge or adding an auxiliary DC power supply. Consult the
factory for engineering assistance and pricing in such situations.
The Mark V LIM includes a set of dry relay alarm contacts for external alarm indication
in addition to standard remote modules. This provides a simple and exible solution
for interfacing with legacy annunciator systems, or connection to local BMS or other
facility supervisory network. The relay contacts are rated for 200VDC or 240VAC, 2A
max, 60 VA max. The normally open (N.O.) contact is closed whenever unit exhibits
an alarm.
Other optional sensors and communication devices supplied with IPS are factory
wired.
4. Operation
System Startup - After system has been properly installed and all wiring connections
have been veried, energize the Primary Main Circuit Breaker in the Isolated Power
System panel. The LIM will undergo the following initialization process each time unit
is energized:
1. Three seconds after power is applied unit will perform a “lamp test”, illuminating
all LED indicators and segments, as well as signaling audible alarm. The LCD
screen displays current rmware version and serial number of the unit.
If any
problem is noted with LEDs or displays, or if the audible alarm signal is not
present, contact technical support.
2. After “lamp test” is complete, the unit will enter self-calibration mode for
approximately 30 seconds. “
CA” is displayed on the LED screen, and the LCD
display indicates “Status: Calibration”.
3. Upon completion of self-calibration, unit should enter normal operation mode.
