For more information, contact the ROKONET branch office nearest to you.
NOVA II & NOVA IV FEATURES NOVA II Processes radio signals from up to 8 remote transmitters including PIR and smoke detectors, universal/door/window-contact transmitters, wireless panic buttons and remote controls. Has 2 ZONE alarm outputs and a TROUBLE output that indicates low battery, tamper, dead transmitter or jamming. NOVA IV Processes radio signals from up to 16 remote transmitters including PIR and smoke detectors, universal/door/window-contact transmitters, wireless panic buttons and remote controls. Has 4 ZONE alarm outputs and a TROUBLE output that indicates low battery, tamper, dead transmitter or jamming. NOVA II & NOVA IV Memorize the pre-programmed identifying address of each transmitter during installation. Outputs may be connected to any control panel. PREPARATION OF NOVA II OR NOVA IV RECEIVER Regardless of the chosen level of installation (basic or advanced), you should prepare your NOVA receiver as follows: Remove the cover by inserting and twisting a screwdriver in the slots along the upper or lower edge of the receiver. Mount the NOVA receiver high at least 1.5 m (5 ft) above the floor near the control panel. Mount the Receiver relatively close and central to the transmitters locations. Receiver should be kept away from metal objects and RF generating devices such as TV sets and computers. Connect the antenna to the left terminal of TB4 (see Fig. 1). Set all positions on dip-switches SW1 and SW2 to OFF (levers are pushed DOWN). LAYOUT AND W IRING OF NOVA II & NOVA IV For the basic level of installation, it is assumed that you need Normally Closed inputs to your control panel. The schematic drawing allows you to familiarize yourself with the different elements you need for the installation. TB4: Reserved for the antenna connection SW1*: Micro-switch used for programming and testing options (see Table 2) SW2**: Micro-switch used in advanced mode of installation (see Table 4) S2: Switch used to step through the LEDs during addressing S1: Tamper switch (used also to clear the transmitters addresses) LEDs for identification and location of transmitters addresses TX: Determines the supervision time for advanced mode JP1:
Notes: Please note that the outputs are dry contacts. All outputs are Normally Closed. The zone outputs may be set to Normally Open by setting dip-switch SW1 position 2 to ON. See Table 2
COMMUNICATION LINK TEST Mount transmitters in their intended locations, then test communications as shown below. The strength of the transmission is measured by the number of LEDs. Two LEDs is minimum acceptable transmission level. Note: Output relays do not operate in this mode. 1. Cover must be removed during communications test. 2. Set SW1 position 7 to OFF and position 8 to ON. The LEDs blink, indicating COMMUNICATION MODE. 3. Operate each transmitter The zone and transmitter LEDs corresponding to each transmitter will light-up and the buzzer will sound to confirm communication. The red event LEDs will indicate the relative quality of the RF transmission link. If there is no response or if less than 2 LEDs light-up when a transmitter sends a signal, move the transmitter or receiver to a different location and try again. Confirm reception from all transmitters before ending the communication test. Each transmitter resets earlier transmission results. 4. Set SW1 positions 7 and 8 to OFF. Replace the cover. Replacing cover automatically puts receiver in NORMAL MODE. Note: For Nova T50, 51, 52, 53 & 61 press the button of the transmitter for only 2 to 3 seconds after the red LED has lit up. BASIC LEVEL OPERATION MODE In this mode, reception of a signal from a transmitter will cause the green LEDs corresponding to zone and transmitter to blink. A red event LED or LEDs will also blink to indicate the type of transmission, i .e. Alarm, Tamper, or Low Battery. Interference or jamming on the radio frequency channel will be indicated by the two bottom red LEDs blinking according to SW2 settings. See Trouble Output Operation. Alarm signals will cause a zone output contact to actuate for 2 seconds. Alternatively, if the alarm comes from a NOVA Universal Transmitter, a NOVA Smoke Detector, or a NOVA restorable type transmitter, the zone output contact will latch until a restore signal is received, indicating that the alarm situation is no longer present. Perform a functional test of the system by causing each transmitter to alarm, and noting proper response from the receiver and control panel.
REGISTERING TRANSMITTER ADDRESSES IN RECEIVER : 1. Set SW1 position 7 to ON and 8 to OFF. All LEDs blink. Then Zone 1 LED blinks and TX1 LED blinks or lights steadily (either condition is acceptable). Steady TX LED means location has no transmitter address programmed. 2. Set SW1 positions 4, 5, 6 as required for the transmitter settings. (See Table 2) 3 Send WRITE transmission from the transmitter. (See Table 1) All LEDs blink and buzzer sounds. Then Zone 1 LED blinks and TX1 LED blinks. 4. Press push-button S2 until LEDs indicate desired zone and transmitter number. Zone LED blinks and TX LED blinks or lights steadily. 5. Set SW1 positions 4, 5, 6 as required for another transmitter setting, then send WRITE transmission from that transmitter. All LEDs blink and buzzer sounds. Then Zone LED blinks and TX LED blinks. 6. Continue to advance the LEDs by pressing S2. Set SW1 positions 4,5,6 as required, and send WRITE transmissions until all transmitters have been written in the receiver (up to 4 transmitters on each zone). Blinking LEDs indicate present transmitter location, and WRITE action is confirmed by all LEDs blinking and buzzer sounding. 7. Set SW1 position 7 OFF. All LEDs blink to indicate return to NORMAL MODE. TO VERIFY SET-UP 1. Set SW1 positions 7 and 8 to ON. LEDs blink. Then the green LEDs display a transmitter and the red LEDs display the settings. See Table 3. 2. Press push-button S2. The green LEDs display the next transmitter and the red LEDs display its setting. 3. Continue pressing push-button S2 until setups of all transmitters have been displayed. 4. Set SW1 positions 7 and 8 to OFF. All LEDs blink to indicate return to NORMAL MODE.
EVENT RETRIEVAL FROM MEMORY Up to 10 most recent events may be retrieved and displayed while cover is closed, and receiver is disarmed. Note that last event will be displayed first. 1. Press the MEMORY push-button. All LEDs blink, then the most recent event is displayed by lighting the relevant zone LED, the transmitter LED and an event LED. If the event was tamper or jamming of the receiver, only the red event LED or LEDs will light. 2. Pressing the MEMORY push-button up to 10 times will display on the LEDs the last 10 events as above. 3. After all events have been displayed, pressing MEMORY push-button once more will return the receiver to NORMAL mode. You may return to NORMAL mode at any time by pressing push-button MEMORY for 3 seconds. Receiver will return automatically to NORMAL mode if MEMORY button is not pressed for 1 minute.The memory will be cleared only after a WRITE or ERASE action in WRITE MODE. APPLICATION QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Can I have supervised transmitters & detect low battery & tamper when I use Basic Installation Setup?
Yes. Connect the TROUBLE output of the receiver to a Trouble zone on your panel. Set the required SW2 positions to ON. Set SW1 position 4 to ON when you send a WRITE transmission from a detector you want supervised (NOVA 20, 30, 70, 71 or 90, 91). Don't forget to return SW1 position 4 to OFF when sending WRITE from a non-supervised portable transmitter (NOVA 42, 43, 50, 51, 52, 61).
