CHAPTER 2: TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION

This chapter outlines the internal specifications of the PCX system.

The PCX range has been designed to offer a choice of options to suit most European security

applications. All systems can be controlled using PIN code and/or proximity cards.

All products are compatible with the DigiModem for remote signalling, downloading and/or SMS

text messaging.

The PCX can be controlled using PIN codes, proximity tags or key-(or other) switches.

The PCX is compatible with the COM9600 Digi Modem for remote signalling, downloading and/or

SMS text messaging.

Training courses are available on application to the sales office.

Pyronix Ltd. reserves the right to change these specifications at any time, without notice, in the

interests of product improvement.

Please ensure that this information is used in designing the system, so that it can be installed and

programmed as intended, and will continue to function reliably. In particular, system outputs and

power supplies must be used within their rated specifications.

2.1 PD6662:2004

The PCX 256 complies with TS50131-3:2003 at the following security grade:

Product Security Grade Environmental Class

PCX 256 1 to 3 1 and 2

External Reader 1 to 3 1 to 4 (IP65)

Access Reader N/A 1 to 4 (IP65)

Other Parts 1 to 3 1 and 2

The recommendations of BSIA Form 171 and Form 179 have been taken into account

Power supplies conform to EN50131-6, including the recommendations of BSIA Form 180.

COM9600 Digi-Modems comply with the requirements of EN50136-2-3 and are suitable for use in

systems designed for use with ATS levels 1 and 2 and environmental class 1 and 2 – i.e. systems

using notification options up to and including 2B. With the PSTN functioning normally, the ATS will

comply with the required performance levels subject to the ARC being suitably equipped. NOTE:

This unit may be used for downloading, remote servicing (ARM) or SMS text messaging purposes

in systems at ALL security grades.

Inovonics wireless equipment complies with the requirements of EN50131-5-3 and is suitable for

use in systems installed to PD6662:2004 at security 2 and environmental class 2.

When all parts are working normally, this equipment in combination with the PSTN and

suitable ARC equipment will meet the requirements of ATS2.

This product complies with TS50131-3:2003 and is suitable for use in EN50131-6:1998

systems at security grade 3, environmental class 2.

UK = Suitable for use with systems installed to PD6662:2004 (AMD)

EXPORT = Suitable for use with systems installed to EN50131-1

PCX 256 INSTALLATION MANUAL

Page: 10 RINS869-8

2.2 DD243:2004

The PCX range fully complies with the requirements of DD243:2004. All appropriate facilities and

options are available for systems using sequential confirmation signalling EXCEPT: Zeroing of

‘Confirm Timer’ if first input to alarm retriggers.

2.3 CE Compliance Statement

The PCX range complies with requirements of the European "EMC Directive" (2004/108/EC),

the "Low Voltage Directive" (2006/95/EC) and (from 01.07.2006) the “Reduction of

Hazardous Substances Directive” (2002/95/EC). Appropriate components additionally

comply with the requirements of the R&TTE Directive (1995/5/EC).

It is essential that the recommendations in this manual be followed, and that equipment and

wiring be installed to avoid the effects of potential sources of interference.

2.4 Programmable Options

Please note that certain programmable options or combinations of options are designed for specific

requirements of certain standards, or for use in specific countries using standards different from

the UK. Incorrect use of options could therefore result in the installed system failing to comply with

the requirements of the appropriate standards for which it is designed. Pyronix cannot accept the

liability for such non-compliances if incorrect options or combinations of options have been

selected.

2.5 Warranty

This product is sold subject to our standard warranty conditions and is warranted against defects in

workmanship for a period of 2 years. In the interest of continuing improvement of quality, customer

care and design, Pyronix reserves the right to amend specifications without giving prior notice.

2.6 Repairs

Products for repair should be returned to the factory, suitably packed to prevent damage (including

damage from electrostatic discharges), and to prevent injury to those opening the packaging, and

be accompanied by the full return address.

It is ESSENTIAL that full details of the fault are reported. A note simply saying ‘faulty’ is not

adequate.

2.7.2 Lightning Protection

The Inbuilt lightning protection provided by fast acting gas discharge tubes. The quality of the

protection is protected upon the low impedance telecoms earth being connected.

2.7.3 Code Guessing

When the PCX is armed, an intruder may try to ‘guess’ the user code to disarm the system, the

PCX incorporates a feature that stops this; If 30 or more invalid key presses are input, or 6 invalid

tags are presented at the keypad, the keypad will disable or ‘freeze’ for 90 seconds. It will then

subsequently ‘freeze’ after 7 further invalid key presses or another invalid tag is presented.

After the lock up time has timed out, a valid user code/tag may be presented and the system will

disarm. ‘Code Guessing’ will be visible on the keypad. To clear this press P.

CHAPTER 4: INSTALLATION

This chapter describes the recommended procedure for installing PCX systems

4.1 Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)

The PCX system has been designed to meet or exceed all relevant EMC requirements. This alone

does not guarantee that no problems will be experienced, especially in relation to older equipment

not designed to the same standards, or to equipment for which the same provisions of the EMC

Directive do not apply.

To maintain full EMC performance for the system, it is essential that the following points be

followed:

¾ All other equipment used must carry the CE mark for electromagnetic compatibility.

¾ Do not locate the PCX system, or any other component, close to equipment switching high

frequencies, or using radio frequencies in its operation.

¾ Avoid using mains supplies contaminated by interference generated by switching, arcing, etc.

¾ The system must be connected to a good, clean earth. The earth connection of housing lids is

a mandatory safety requirement.

¾ The correct cable type should be used for each application as specified.

¾ Cables should be routed to avoid the possibility of interference being picked up from other

nearby cabling or equipment. Be alert to the possibility of other cables being installed after the

alarm system has been commissioned.

For further information refer to BSIA “EMC Guidelines for Alarm Installers”.

4.2 Mounting Procedure for the PCX system

The following steps illustrate basic mounting procedure for the PCX metal case.

Step 1 – Remove the case lid from the PCX panel and check all parts and components are in

place.

Step 2 – Decide where the PCX panel will be situated. The PCX panel may be housed in the loft or

different rooms in the premises. A discrete and concealed place is advisable, as only the PCX

keypads need to be seen.

Step 3 – Secure the PCX panel to a sturdy and stable surface, using the mounting screws

provided. First mark the wall where the panel is to be situated (using the mounting holes), drill

holes in the wall, and fasten the panel base to the wall using the screws provided.

Step 4 – Before the panel base is completely secured to the wall feed cables for keypads / AC

power supply / and accessories through the cable entry holes as illustrated.

4.3 Resistors

The resistor values are recognised as follows:

2k2 resistor = Red / Red / Red

4k7 resistor = Yellow / Violet / Red

6k8 resistor = Blue/Grey/Red

12k resistor = Brown / Red / Orange

470Ω resistor = Yellow/Violet/Brown

4.5 Battery Installation Procedure

Place two foam pads on the bottom of the battery and two on the upper rear. Place the battery in

the case and secure with two tie wraps.

4.6 Mounting Procedure for Devices

Mount the equipment carefully in suitable locations, noting particularly the following:

¾ Input expander units (RIXs or RIX2s) should be located to suit the wiring to appropriate

detectors. Mounting more than two together is not recommended.

¾ Where input expanders, output modules or access controllers are mounted on power supplies,

all connections are automatically made to draw all current from the power supply, and to use

the system diagnostic capabilities to control the power supply.

¾ Intelligent power supplies cannot be used in isolation from the PCX system plug-on PCBs.

¾ Keypads and tag readers should NOT be mounted on or near a metal surface, or within a

metre of each other, or tag response could be affected.

¾ Where provided, metal housings must have the earth strap connected to the lid to meet

electrical safety regulations.

4.8 Mains Connection

MAINS ELECTRICITY IS DANGEROUS!

Mains connection must be performed by a qualified electrician, in accordance with electrical wiring

regulations (BS.7671).

The earth connection must be correctly made to the centre terminal of the mains block, and to

terminal G1 of the End Station, and of any intelligent power supplies.

Metal lids must be correctly connected to mains earth by the wiring loom provided, before securing

in position.

Note: The PCB ground connection is NOT a safety earth connection, but is for EMC filtering

purposes.

Warning:

Always disconnect the mains supply before removing the cover and working on the

equipment.

4.9 System Connections

Note: Never add equipment to the system with power applied, or damage can result.

Please refer to the following diagrams to identify the functions of all the terminals on PCX

components. Note that all components use the same identification for equivalent applications – e.g.

D1, D2, D3 and D4 will always be the RS-485 terminations, etc.

4.10 DigiModem

Information for installing the DigiModem is shown separately on page 25.

4.11 Expander Card

Information for installing the Expander card is shown separately on page 29.

4.12 Access Control and Guard Tour Equipment

Information for installing access control and guard tour equipment is shown in page: 53.

PCX 256 INSTALLATION MANUAL

RINS869-8 Page: 17

4.13 Cabling Information

4.13.1 Planning the Cable Routes

Care should be taken to avoid running alarm cables in the same trunking as, or otherwise close to,

cables carrying signals that may cause interference – e.g. telephone cables, etc.

Similarly, where practical, avoid routing cables close to equipment capable of generating

interference – e.g. fluorescent lighting, welding equipment, etc.

Never run alarm cables in the same trunking as mains cables.

4.13.2 Screened Cable

When screened cable is used, the screen should be terminated at the control panel (or RIX

module) only. For best results, connect to the metalwork immediately at the point of cable entry

into the housing, with a ‘pigtail’ not exceeding 5cm.

Terminals are provided in all PCX housings for this purpose.

Cables should not be looped inside the housings, or routed across or underneath printed circuit

boards.

Ensure that screen connections are continuous through all intermediate detectors, junction boxes,

etc.

4.13.3 Wiring Specifications

NOTE: The following specifications must be observed when installing PCX alarm systems.

General Principals

1 Routing: No alarm system cable should be run with other cables carrying AC or digital signals.

2 Insulation: Should be protected by the use of grommets, etc. where appropriate.

3 Specifications: The following specifications for cable types and distances are important for reliable

operation.

RS-485 Wiring

1 Cores:

4-core minimum. Use of 6-core and doubling up of power supply core is

beneficial to minimise voltage drops, but never double communications

connections.

2 Cable Type:

As much as it is good practice to use screened cable, the PCX RS485 bus will

operate with standard alarm cable up to 300m. After 300m a 485 repeater device

will be required to be fitted when wiring keypads, prox readers, RIXs and ROXs.

The PCX system requires standard 7/0.2 unscreened alarm cable when wiring

keypads, prox readers, RIXs and ROXs.

Screened cable should be used if the system has been installed in hostile

environments where there maybe high levels of Radio Frequencies or mains

interference, e.g. heavy plant welding.

Example: Twisted pair, e.g. Belden 9744 (unscreened) or 9502 (screened).

3 Wiring Format: Parallel, ‘daisy-chained’.

4 Cable Length: Overall network max. 1Km.

5 Termination: Extreme end points fitted with 470Ω resistors between A (D3) and B (D4).

End of Line Input Wiring

1 Cores: 4-core.

2 Cable Type: Standard alarm cable, screened in poor environments.

3 Wiring Format: Detectors individually wired, using EOL resistors mounted at detector.

4 Cable Length: Max. 1Km per detector.

CHAPTER 5: KEYPAD AND READER INDICATIONS

The PCX panel is active for 24 hours a day and the two basic operation modes are DISARMED

mode and ARMED mode.

DISARMED: In this mode all inputs are disarmed, apart from Fire, Hold Up, 24 Hour, Gas, Tamper

and Fault, which are active 24 hours a day. The Tamper state of all End of Line inputs is always

active irrespective of the input type.

ARMED: In this mode all enabled inputs are armed, and if triggered will generate an alarm

condition. If an alarm is triggered, internal and external sounders will operate for a programmed

period or time. Upon expiry of this time period, the system will automatically rearm.

There are 3 types of operating devices for the PCX: The LCD keypad, the internal proximity reader

and the external proximity reader. Also note that the PCX LCD keypad also has an inbuilt prox

reader.

5.1 The PCX LCD Keypad (PCX-LCD/UK)

ALERT LED (GREEN)

The Alert LED will flash if there is information available to you.

Enter your code to see the information on the Keypad. After a

code has been entered, one of the following LEDs will

illuminate: Tamper or Fault. The relevant detail of the problem

will be shown on the display. To clear the display, press the

‘Yes’ key or present your tag.

ALARM LED (RED)

This indicates that alarm activation has occurred.

TAMPER LED (ORANGE)

This indicates that a tamper has occurred, i.e. device fail etc.

(only visible when a valid code / tag has been used)

FAULT LED (ORANGE)

This indicates that a fault has occurred, i.e. device fail etc.

(only visible when a valid code / tag has been used)

DISARMED LED (GREEN)

This will illuminate for a couple of seconds after the system

has been disarmed.
