Overview 2 Section 2 Overview The eView provides annunciation and control while operating on the COMMS ( + , - ) terminals of the eLAN and Elite Panel. The COMMS ( +, - ) terminals provide an RS485 communication path to devices such as the VES eView. Front-panel controls and indicators of the eView are identical to those provided on the eLAN and Elite Panel. Operate Access Level 2 on the eView exactly as performed on the eLAN and Elite Panel.
Overview 2 Controls The VES eView contains upper-panel and lower-panel control-pads. Upper-Control-Pad The figure below illustrates the eView upper-control-pad: Figure 2-2 Upper-Control-Pad Key Name Description 1 Central keypad number four Navigates menu selections to the left. 2 More Fire Events Displays the number of alarms present on the eView and overrides the display provided by menu navigation. 3 Exit Cancels the current menu selection.
Overview 2 Lower-Control-Pad The figure below illustrates the eView lower-control-pad: Figure 2-3 Lower-Control-Pad Key Name Description 1 Re-Sound Alarm Re-sounds the alarm in Access Level 2 when sounders are muted with the Alarm Silence button. 2 Alarm Silence Silences NACs connected to the eView after receiving authorization through Access Level 2. 3 Panel Sounder Silence Mutes the internal buzzer of the eView. No other sounder outputs are affected by this operation.
Overview 2 Indicators The VES eView contains left and right panel-indicators.
Installation 3 Section 3 Installation This section provides instructions for connecting cables, mounting and testing the eView. To complete the installation: 1 Notify the monitoring center and local security that the eLAN or Elite Panel will be temporarily out of service when installing the eView. 2 Remove the eView from its packaging and check its contents. 3 Mount the eView and connect cabling for power and communication. 4 Applying power to the eView.
Installation 3 Figure 3-1 illustrates surface and flush-mounting positions of the eView: Figure 3-1 Mounting Positions Secure the eView to a flat surface using suitable wall mounting hardware. Connecting the Circuit Board Terminate all wiring connections at the single row of terminals located along the bottom of the eView circuit board. Shielded fire alarm cable such as FP200 and metal-cable-connectors must be used for all connections.

Installation 3 Connecting to the eView The eView provides connections for RS485 communication and 24 VDC power. To provide these connections on the eView: 1 Remove four screws from the front-panel of the eView. 2 Remove the rear cover. 3 Connect RS485 communication to the terminals of COMM1. 4 Connect 24 VDC power to terminals of 0V and +24V.
Installation 3 Testing the Installation Devices connected to the eLAN or Elite Panel must be allocated addresses so that the control panel can identify the integrity of the circuit path. The address switch should never be set with all switches in the off position. Provide an address on the switch by setting a binary number from 1 to 15 on the 4 way, DIP switch located at the bottom of the PCB. The order of the addresses is not important but each device must be allocated a different address.
Installation 3 Processor and Watchdog Reset The eView is controlled by a microprocessor, which will re-start itself and continue to run if it stops for any reason due to severe electrical interference such as an electrical storm. A watchdog (W/DOG) LED indicator latches-on and a fault signal is provided to the eLAN or Elite Panel when the eView is being subjected to continuous interference. Press the W//DOG RESET button on the bottom of the PCB if a processor re-start occurs.
Specifications A Appendix A Specifications This appendix provides specifications for the eView: Electrical MAXIMUM INPUT RATING 24 VDC @ 110 mA STANDBY CURRENT 30 mA CONNECTOR TERMINALS Terminals accepts 14 - 24 AWG wire. MAXIMUM NUMBER OF UNITS The eLAN and Elite Panel can each power a maximum of four eViews from the Aux 24V terminals. Communications RS485 SERIAL BUS RS485 two-wire Maximum distance from control panel: 3900 feet (1200 meters) Specify Belden 9271 cable.
