EM-8001 (external module)

The EM-8001 allows you to expand the number of inputs from 8 to 16 and 24¹, respectively.

• For information on installing, mounting and connecting the external module, please refer to the Quickstart EM-8001.
• For information on safety regulations, storage and transport, defects and repair, recycling and disposal or warranty and liability, please refer to Legislation and regulations.

Configuration

• From the dashboard, go to Settings|External modules.
• Click Edit. You now have 2 options:
  

1. Add automatically (only possible via the dialler)

• Click config. check; after a few seconds you will see linked modules.
• Click + and give a clear name; this name will be reflected in the call and in the logbook.
• The client ID is automatically assigned.
• Click Save.

2. Add manually (possible via the dialler and via remote setup)

• Click New (when setting via the dialler) or click Add (when setting remotely).
• Enter a clear name; this name will be reflected in the call and in the logbook.
• Select the client ID you chose when connecting.

  Good to know: the number of times the LED flashes at Status on the EM module indicates which client ID the module is connected to.

• Click Add.
• For remote setup: Click Save and check the configuration; you do this on the dialler.
• When set via the dialler: check the configuration.

Check config.

Tip: after adding manually, we recommend you check the configuration. This can only be done on the dialler itself.

• Check via the Config. check button that all client IDs that run through the bus are also configured:
  • client ID number in green block: configuration successful;
  • client ID number in red block: module not found.

Good to know: previously added modules that are not / no longer applicable can be deleted via the bin icon ().

Please note: deleting an EM-8001 will cause you to delete all settings made for this external IO.

Relay switching

The EM-8001 can switch a relay during an alarm. You can set this relay as an external flashing light or external buzzer. The circuit follows the alarm dialler. See Settings|System|Outputs for further setup.

Status inputs

The EM-8001 features LEDs that show the status of the input:

Modified alarm dialler screens

Dashboard

The 8 inputs (of the dialler) have been replaced with icons for the alarm dialler and linked modules.

• Click the dialler or linked module icon to see the status of the corresponding 8 inputs.
• Click the corresponding input to go to that input’s alarm screen.

Alarms

The alarm inputs of the external module(s) are added at Alarms. You can set these inputs in the same way as the dialler’s alarms. See Alarms|Configure inputs for further explanation.

Logbook

The logbook shows to what the notifications belong; for example, Octalarm, module 1, module 2 or the name associated with it.
