Mains Connection - GE ATS1203 Installation Sheet

Mains connection

WARNING: Make sure that before connecting the mains power to
the control panel, the mains power supply is disconnected using a
circuit breaker or by removing the AC from the wall socket.
When installing the mains power, use a strain relief like cable ties
and coupling PG16's to ensure proper wiring. In all cases, local
regulations should be applied.
Earthing
See Figure 3.
WARNING: Correct earthing procedures must be followed.
Earthing of one cabinet containing several devices
All devices designed for the system have earth connections via
metal studs to the metal housing. Take care, that these metal
studs make good connection to the housing (beware of paint).
The earth connections of every piece of equipment in the system
can be used for connecting the shielding of shielded cables.
However: never connect the shield at both sides to earth. If a
device is placed in a plastic housing the earth lug of this device
does not have to be connected.
Earthing panels in a single building
In one building several cabinets or devices are earthen to safety
ground.
The safety earth of this building has to be checked by a licensed
contractor.
Earthing panels in more buildings
If the wiring extends to separate buildings, more than one
common earth system will be used. Use isolator/repeaters
ATS1740 to isolate the system databus. In this way the system is
protected against variations in earth potential.
Shielding
The shielding of all shielded cables used in the system should only
be connected at ONE side to one common earthing point in a
building (see Figure 3). If a shielded databus cable is routed via
more than one plastic device the shielding from incoming and
outgoing cable has to be connected.

Zone and output numbering
Control panel 1 – 16
DGP1 17 – 32
DGP2 33 – 48
DGP3 49 – 64
DGP4 65 – 80
DGP5 81 – 96
DGP6 97 – 112
DGP7 113 – 128
Output numbering
A DGP can have a maximum of 16 outputs available as relays or
open collectors outputs. The output numbers are the same as the
16 zone numbers allocated to the DGP address.
The ATS1203/ATS1204 can also support 32 outputs. Enable this by
selecting "2 DGP addresses" in menu 3 – "DGP settings" (first
option). Be aware that the ATS Control Panel needs to be setup to
poll both DGP addresses.
Note: If the battery load test resistor is enabled, output 8 follows
the battery test (except when using clocked output devices).
Zone numbering
The ATS1203/ATS1204 has 8 zones that can be expanded using
the ATS 1202 (8 zones) to a maximum of 32 zones. If the number of
zones exceeds 16, then the zones are taken from the next DGP
address and DGP ceases to exist.
For example, DGP 1 has 24 zones (zones 17 to 40). The next DGP in
the system must now be addressed and polled as DGP 3, because
zones 33 to 40 on DGP 1 have been taken from DGP 2.
The unused zone numbers in the system (zones 41 to 48) must be
programmed in the zone database as Type 0.
Programming the DGP
1. Polling the ATS1203/ATS1204.
a. Enter menu 4 of the control panel installer menu, and add
the address for the device, then press ENTER.
b. Press ENTER, select the "DGP address" and press ENTER
again to enter the DGP details.
c. Select the device type 5 (ADVANCED DGP).
d. Press ENTER until you are back to the main menu.
Note: For more information on control panel programming, see
ATS Control Panel Programming Manual.
2. The ATS1203/ATS1204 provides a menu through which a
number of options can be set. In addition the status of the
ATS1203/ATS1204 itself or inputs can be viewed. See Figure 6.
To enter the programming menu for the ATS1203/ATS1204:
a. Enter menu 28 of the control panel installer menu.
b. Press 1 ENTER followed by the DGP address selected and
ENTER to enter the DGP menu. The display now shows
"ATS1203" followed by the version number.
c. Press ENTER to proceed to the menu or press the menu
number followed by ENTER to go to a menu item directly.
