QUESTION

How do I connect my FGD3 Infra-Red sensor to the LC control panel?


ANSWER

What follows is step by step instructions on how to install FGD3 Infra-Red sensors to an LC Control panel.


Hardware setup:


The FGD3 Infra-Red has 3 wires

  • Red (Power +Ve)
  • Black (Power -Ve)
  • Yellow (Signal mA+)


Channel 1 connection

  •    Ensure power is disconnected from the system
  •    Connect the Red +Ve Power wire to Channel 1 pin 15
  •    Connect the Black -VE Power wire to Channel 1 pin 16
  •    Connect the Yellow +mA wire to Channel 1 pin 13
  •    Configure Channel 1 jumper switches J1,J2,J3,J5,J9 to on (closed)
  •    Configure Channel 1 jumper switches J4, J6, J7, J8 to off (open)


 Subsequent sensors can be wired in a similar way:

   i.e. Channel 2 connection.

  •    Connect the Red +Ve Power wire to Channel 2 pin 27
  •    Connect the Black -VE Power wire to Channel 2 pin 28
  •    Connect the Yellow +mA wire to Channel 2 pin 25
  •    Configure Channel 2 jumper switches J1,J2,J3,J5,J9 to on (closed)
  •    Configure Channel 2 jumper switches J4, J6, J7, J8 to off (open)

Step 3  Software Configuration

  • Connect power to the system and ensure detector head operates (text on LCD display, LED will flash once every six seconds approximately).
  • All information required for software configuration should be contained in the attached LC Software configuration and system calibration manual, a helpful 'map' of the menu structure can be found on page 4-9

Step 4. System Calibration

  • All information required for system calibration should be contained in the attached LC Software configuration and system calibration manual from page 4-16 onwards
