POTTER EBP-407C Door Annunciator System

The EBP-407C is a High-Quality Annunciator System with Entry & Exit Chime and Dual Counter.

DESCRIPTION

The EBP-407C annunciator system is designed with superior dual counter active- infrared technology. The invisible infrared beam is designed to trigger a pleasant chime sound and register a count on the digital counter when the beam is interrupted. The infrared signal differentiates among Entries and Exits making it an efficient device. The system counts the number of people that enter the facility and sounds a pleasant” ding dong ” chime upon entering and a single ” ding ” sound when exiting. Each event is counted, recorded and registered by the built-in digital counter and can be viewed and compared later in Entry/Exit modes.

FEATURES

  • Microprocessor driven system
  • Independent Entry/Exit counters
  • 22ft. detection range across the doorway
  • Resettable 4-digit digital counter (up to 9999)
  • Distinctive Entry/Exit chime sound
  • Electrically Erasable Memory feature (EEPROM) will maintain entry/exit counts when the power is OFF, or during power outages (unless the RESET button is pushed to reset both counters to zero)
  • Right-Entry or Left-Entry installation feature
  • Selectable detection range 10ft min. 22ft max
  • Adjustable chime sound level output
  • Can be expanded using additional chimes (CM-4)
  • Doorbell feature using optional call button (AES-1)

WARNING: DO NOT INSTALL THE INFRARED TRANSCEIVER UNDER 2 ft.

PLANNING THE INSTALLATION

It is important that before starting the installation, you carefully read the installation instructions, and spend time planning the installation. Although installation of the system is not difficult, there are a number of steps that must be done correctly for the system to operate properly. We suggest that the following conditions to be followed:

IMPORTANT INSTALLATION CONDITIONSPOTTER-EBP-407C-Door-Annunciator-System-
FIG-3

  1. Mount the Infrared Transceiter, Chime, and Reflector to a firm surface.
  2. The Infrared Transceiver should be mounted at a level where it can be reached for counter reset.
  3. Mount the Infrared transceiver and reflector NOT TO EXCEED THE 22FT. MAXIMUM DETECTION RANGE across doorway.
  4. DO NOT mount the unit facing directly into the sun light or bright lights. It may reduce the operating distance.
  5. Use only the transformer 12V AC 20VA and wire size specified in these instructions.
  6. DO NOT install the Infrared Tranceiver under 2 ft. above the floor.

INSTALLING THE INFRARED TRANSCEIVER

  1. Select a suitable location for the infrared transceiver.
  2. Remove the 2-bottom screws and 1-top screw from the transceiver and remove the back cover (Fig. 1).
  3. Remove a knock-out from the back of the transceiver back plate to feed the power wires and 4-conductor cable thru(Fig. 2).
  4. Using the 6-ft power cord with in-line switch, connect the pre-stripped wires to the 12V AC 20VA transformer terminals. Strip the insulation on the opposite ends of the wires back approximately 114inch, and insert into transceiver terminals labeled 12V AC input (Fig. 3).
    • DO NOT PLUG TRANSFORMER INTO AC OUTLET AT THIS TIME. The transformer MUST BE plugged in during the alignment procedure. Prevent excess wires from lying across the floor, as you may trip over them. If necessary, use cable ties to keep The wires safely out of the way.
  5. Connect the chime 4-pin connector to CN1 on the transceiver.
  6. Make sure the 5.1 trancelver settings hereinbelow: The Left or Right entry switch must be properly placed depending on where the transceiver is installed. (Fig. 4: Factory set for left hand side entry as you enter the Location.)
  7. Install the transceiver mounting bracket(s)to the intended position. Then close the transceiver back plate and secure it using the screws provided, and secure the transceiver to the bracket (Fig. 5).

  • AC: 12VAC input

CN1 Chime output

  • (-): ground output
  • (+V): 12VDC output
  • (OC): (·) signal when Exit
  • (IC):  (-) signal when Enter

_ JP1: _Blocked Infrared beam warning

  • Selectable Jumper: 0FF/10sec/ 60 sec
  • When the infrared beam is blocked for 10 seconds (factory setting) the receiver will chime continuously until the blockage is removed.

JP2: Sensitivity (Detection Range)

  • JP2 ON= Min. 10ft infrared beam across doorway.
  • JP2 OFF = Max. 22ft. infrared beam across doorway (factory setting).

_ SW1: _Travel Direction Switch

  • Normal (Tranceiver on LEFT) or Reverse (Tranceiver on RIGHT)
  • Factory setting NORMAL with this setting the transceiver should be installed on the left hand side as you enter the location.

INSTALLING THE CHIME

  1. Select a suitable location for the chime.
  2. Remove the screw from the bottom front cover of the chime. (Fig. 6).
  3. Using the 26ft-4 conductor wire, strip the insulation back approximately 1/4 inch and insert the stripped end of the wires into the chime terminals (Fig. 7).
  4. Make sure the 6.1 CHIMESETTINGS hereinbelow, and secure the chime to the wall using the screws.
CHIME FEATURES AND SETTINGS

CN1 Speaker Connector

  • 2-pin connector for connecting the speaker

Terminal Block

  • (-): Ground input terminal
  • +12V: +12V DC input terminal
  • EXIT: Triggers the EXIT chime
  • ENT: Triggers the ENTRY chime

JP1: Trip Levels

  • Selectable Jumper: ON (positive) / OFF (negative)
  • JP1 ON = thechime can only be triggered with a positive(+) signal.
  • JP1 OFF= the chime can only be triggered with a negative(-) signal. (Factory Setting)

_ JP2: _Chime Sound Selector

  • JP2 ON = High frequency (factory setting)
  • JP2 OFF = Low frequency

_ VR1: _Volume Control

  • The chime volume can be increased or decreased.

INSTALLING THE REFLECTOR

FOR PROPER OPERATIONS IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THAT YOU ALIGN THE REFLECTOR PROPERLY. THE SYSTEM WILL NOT FUNCTION OR GENERATE REPEATED CHIMES UNLESS THE REFLECTOR AND THE TRANCE/VER ARE PRECISELY ALIGNED.

  • THE REFLECTOR AND THE TRANCE/VER MUST PRECISELY FACE DIRECTLY TO RECEIVE BOTH OF THE REFLECTED INFRARED BEAMS.
  • IT IS NOT ALIGNED PROPERLY UNLESS BOTH OF THE ALIGNMENT LEDs LIGHT UP.
  1. Make sure that the infrared transceiver is installed firmly facing the intended direction where the reflector is to be installed.
  2. Plug in the transformer to power the unit.
    • THE CHIME MAY CONTINUOUSLY SOUND AFTER A WHILE DURING THE ALIGNMENT PROCEDURE UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS PROPERLY ALIGNED. HOWEVER THIS IS AN INDICATION OF MISALIGNMENT, NOT A DEFECT.
  3. Assemble the bracket to the reflector with proper mounting screws provided together. THE USE OF IMPROPER SCREWS MAY DAMAGE THE REFLECTOR.
    • DO NOT SECURE THE BRACKET TO THE WALL AT THIS STAGE, WHICH MAY MAKE THE ALIGNMENT OF THE REFLECTOR DIFFICULT.
  4. Hold the reflector in front of the infrared transmitter and adjust the angle slowly SO THAT BOTH OF THE ALIGNMENT INDICATOR LED LIGHT UP.
    • If it is difficult to make both of the alignment LEDs ON then start at the closer distance and then move slowly behind to the Intended installation position maintaining the angle.
  5. Secure the reflector in place making sure the alignment LED’s stay ON.

OPTIONAL EXTERNAL PUSH-BUTTON (AES-1)

Normally Open Switch: activates the chime when pressed.

  1. Select a suitable location for the chime push button.POTTER-EBP-407C-Door-Annunciator-System-FIG-20
  2. Loosen the screws from the back of the unit (refer to Fig. 8 ).
  3. Connect two wires to the terminals of the AES-1.
  4. Connect the opposite end of the same wires to chime terminals labeled(-) and ENT. (Fig. 7)
  5. Using the screws provided secure the unit to a flat surface.
