Hoyles AIDALARM A600L Operation

Mains Powered AIDALARM A600L
The AIDALARM is designed as a disabled person alarm system primarily for use in WCs etc.. It is designed to comply with
BS8300 and the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act.
The AIDALARM A600L controller should be sited where staff are located who can respond to an emergency call. It is usually
powered by 230vac. Standby batteries are included and there is an integral battery fault monitor. Alternatively, it can be
powered by 12vdc, in this case the standby batteries should not be fitted, the battery fault monitor disabled (see later) and
a 12vdc PSU with standby battery used instead. The system voltage is 12vdc thus the ancillary items in toilets or other wet
areas are at a safe working voltage avoiding any conflict with Part P building regulations.
The Pull Cord S1600 should be appropriately sited for your application in the WC or where assistance is required. Additional
pull cords if required are available separately. The lower bangle on the cord should be set at 100mm above floor level. The
second bangle should be set between 800 and 1000mm above floor level.
The Reset Button S1708A should be sited near the point of call and should be mounted with the bottom edge between 800
and 1000mm above floor level and a minimum of 350mm from any corner.
The Overdoor Light/Sounder S1778A is usually sited outside and above the WC door.
DADO Panic Strip (Optional) is a normally open device, the contacts close when the switch is pressed. Site 150mm from
floor level in WCs.
Wiring Details
Standard 6 core intruder alarm cable or similar is ideal to connect the AIDALARM controller to the ancillary items. The mains
supply, when used, should be 1mm2 twin and earth from a suitable 3A fused spur.
