Quickstart EM-8001

Good to know: to use the expansion module, you need software version 2.1.1 or higher.

Installation

Mounting

The EM-80011 is suitable for wall mounting and DIN-rail 35 mm mounting.

Wall-mounting

  • Fix a screw in the wall or panel.
  • Slide the module’s mounting hole over it.

DIN-rail (35mm)

  • Place the edge of the top of the DIN rail section (at the back of the module) at an angle to the DIN rail.
  • At the bottom of the module, release the clamping system and tilt the module until it is fully seated on the DIN rail.
  • Click the clamping system in place.

Client ID

The EM-8001 works with a master/client structure, with the Octalarm alarm dialler1 acting as the master and the EM-8001 as the client. When linking 2 modules to an alarm dialler, make sure that each module has a unique ID.

  • Using a screwdriver, turn the ID on the module (see No. 4 of the front view) to the ID of your choice.
  • As you rotate the screw, the LED above the corresponding input number turns blue. This shows which ID has been selected.

Power supply

You can power the EM-8001 in 2 ways:

  • from the Octalarm alarm dialler;
  • with an external power supply.

Power from the Octalarm alarm dialler

  • In situations where the dialler and upgrade module(s) are mounted near each other.
  • Use a 4-core cable with 2 pairs. The different cores are for:
    • Pair 1: signal line A and B;
    • Pair 2: power supply and earth wire.

The connections are on the front sticker. See the wiring diagram for graphical representation.

Note: when using the relay, an external power supply is required. The power supply should be at least 15VDC.

External power supply

  • For long distances (>100 metres), we always recommend an external power supply. We supply the SV-20 (mains adapter) or the SV-24 (DIN-rail mounting power supply) for this purpose.
  • Use a 3-core cable with 1 pair and 1 core. The different cores are for:
    • Pair 1: signal line A and B;
    • Core: earth wire.

The connections are on the front sticker. See the wiring diagram for graphical representation.

Note: the external power supply must be at least 15VDC. You can connect the external power supply to V and earth.

Note: the power wire from the Octalarm alarm dialler must not be connected to the EM-8001.

Signal lines for both power supplies

  • Connect the wires as indicated on the front sticker.
  • Terminate the last EM-8001 on the bus with a 120 ohm resistor. To do this, connect the ‘R’ and ‘B’ externally to each other on the screw connector.
