The EDA-D6000 Radio Combined Heat Detector and Sounder is used as part of the Zerio Plus Radio Fire Alarm System. It cannot be used with other ranges of Electro-Detectors products.
The device is IP rated to IP21C and should only be used indoors.
To fix the base to the ceiling
The D6000 should be fitted in an appropriate position as detailed in BS5839 Part 1. The base plate should be separated from the device by rotating the detector anti-clockwise and pulling apart. The base should be screwed to a flat surface using 2 x No 8 (4mm) screws of appropriate length for the material that the device is being mounted on. If the surface is not flat, the base plate may warp when screwed too tightly to the surface, which could cause tamper fault conditions. It is recommended that the base plate not be secured too tightly or a rigid mounting plate be fixed to the wall first. The devices should not be fitted covering holes in ceilings where water could possibly drip through. Any hole should be made good prior to installing the device. The device should be fitted away from any metal objects or electrical items to avoid radio interference and a radio survey for the position should have been carried out prior to installation.
Adding the device to the system
Before the D6000 will operate on a system, it must be programmed via the control panel. To program the unit the panel must be set in the appropriate mode to add a device to the system. If a device is being added or replaced on the system then the appropriate menu option should be selected on the control panel. Please refer to the panel manual for further information. Before adding/replacing the device on the system you will need to know what unit number/address the unit is to be programmed to. The zone number, sensitivity, volume, area and text location information should also be to hand but this can be added/changed later.
Zone Number
The zone number is a logical way of grouping devices and is used as a way of indicating where the alarm is in a building. Careful attention to BS5839 should be exercised when allocating devices to zones and would usually be defined when the system is designed. The number of zones available depends on the type of control panel that is being installed. There are 8, 20 and 100 zone models available.
Area 1 and Area 2
The cause and effects can be configured to only sound a specific area or group of sounders. Each sounder device can be programmed to two different areas, known as Area1 and Area2, which are both set to 101 by default. The default cause and effects for detectors or inputs on the system are for any fire event to sound in all areas (area 000). Up to 240 different sound areas can be used on a Zerio Plus system. For example a sounder in flat number 3 could be programmed to area 003, and the detector in the flat could be configured to only sound an alert tone in area 003. A fire event in flat 3 would only sound in that flat, preventing disruption to other residents of the building. A detector in a common stairwell could be configured to sound an evacuate tone in area 000 (all areas) which would alert all residents immediately.
Output Timeout
This controls how long the device will sound before automatically silencing, in order to preserve battery life. Once the sounder has automatically silenced, the panel will remain indicating the alarm and the panel buzzer will continue to sound. Should another alarm condition occur then the sounder will resound. The output timeout can be set in multiples of 30 minutes from 0 to 900 minutes. Setting the value at 0 will allow the unit to sound indefinitely.
