Installation

The ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S is a tabletop device that is intended to be used indoors. With the top hat rail bracket, it can be mounted on a top hat rail in an electrical cabinet. If the device is operated as a tabletop unit, the included self-adhesive feet should by stuck to the bottom of the enclosure.

Top Hat Rail Mounting
The device can be mounted on a top hat rail (e.g., in control cabinets).

  1. Mount the supplied top hat rail bracket to the back of the device and use the provided screw holes.
  2. The bracket can be mounted horizontally or vertically as needed. Use screw holes (1) and (4) or (2) and (3)respectively.

Wiring

WARNING!
Malfunctioning and failure of the detector system
Incorrect wiring of the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S can cause malfunctioning, leading to failure of the fire detection system.

  • Only specialist personnel may wire the equipment (–› chap. ‘2.3. Personnel Qualification)
  • Before beginning any wiring work, de-energize the detection system!

Wiring M-Bus
As indicated by the system topology, connect the bipolar ADICOS M-Bus to the terminal M-Bus. The terminal can be detached to make wiring easier.

Wiring detector power supply

  • The ADICOS detectors are connected to a separate power supply, e.g. ADICOS-NT V40-A3, with a bipolar connection line.

Connecting power supply

  • Connect the coaxial power connector from the power supply to the interface
  • Or connect a 24 V DC power supply to the terminal for the external power supply instead

Connecting service PC

  • Depending on the device model, connect the interface cable to the service PC.
  • When using the model “Ethernet,” connect the network cable to the service PC through the respective network infrastructure.

Commissioning

WARNING!
Equipment damage
ADICOS systems work with electrical currents that can damage the equipment if installed incorrectly.

  • Before switching on the system, verify that all ADICOS components are properly installed and wired!
  • Startup may be performed only by properly trained personnel.
  • Supply voltage to the device to start up the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S.
  • Once all of the connections have been made as required, the entire wiring configuration can be checked as follows:

Measuring Resistance
As long as no detector or repeater is connected to the bus wiring, the resistance of the entire bus wiring can be checked with the aid of a resistance meter at the installation location of the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S. The measured resistance ∞.
The single branch lines wired parallel to one another can now be individually short-circuited at the respective end, one after the other. This has to appear on the resistance meter at the end of the bus trunk line. This ensures that there are no interruptions or short-circuiting in the bus line.

Measuring Voltage

  • After the bus wiring has been checked and proven to be correct, the voltage supply to the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S can be switched on. The green LED (normal) should light up to indicate that the device is ready for operation.
  • There should be a voltage of approx. 40 V at the output terminals of the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S. The voltage can be measured with a multimeter.
  • When using ADICOS detectors, measure the voltage at terminals on the connector assemblies or the respective contacts on the connection cables.

Integrating M-BUSMASTER S into a Network

  • First, connect a service PC to the ADICOS central unit and install the ADICOS System Software on the service PC.

Integrating M-BUSMASTER S via Interface RS-232 / USB Prerequisite

  • The customer has to have a service PC with ADICOS System Software installed.
  • A serial RS-232 / USB interface is standard on the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S. Connect the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S to the COM port on the service PC and start the GSME central software.
  1. First, set the interface parameters in the software as needed. Select the COM port used and a baud rate of 4800 baud.
  2. Add one or more ADICOS detectors to the query, e.g. using the auto-scan feature.
    While the service PC is communicating with the detectors connected in the field, the green LED (reply), as well as the yellow LED (query), should be flashing.

Integrating M-BUSMASTER S via LAN Connection / Ethernet

  • The ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S can be equipped with an Ethernet connection upon request.

  • The network card is based on a module XPort supplied by Lantronix.

  • The Ethernet module automatically obtains its IP address from the DHCP server of the network.

  • Using the “Lantronix DeviceInstaller“ (https://www.lantronix.com/products/deviceinstaller/), a software tool provided by the manufacturer of the XPort, the IP address of the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S can be found or adapted as required.

Finding Connected Devices

  1. Check that all components are connected properly and supplied with voltage.
  2. Start the Lantronix DeviceInstaller on a computer in the same network.
    The software automatically lists all Ethernet modules within the network as “XPort Direct” or “XPort Direct+.”

Changing IP Address

  1. Select the device to be changed from the list.
  2. Then click “Assign IP.”
    The wizard used to adapt the IP address opens.
  • Select “Assign a specific IP address“ and click “Next.”

  • Enter the desired IP address and the subnet mask, then click “Next.”

Click “Assign.”
The new IP address is programmed.

  • Click “Finish” and close the Device Installer.

Setting up M-BUSMASTER in ADICOS System Software

  1. Adjust the interface parameters in the software as follows:
    Bus connection: Ethernet TCP/IP TCP/IP setting: the preset or programmed IP address Port: 10001

  2. Click “OK” to confirm the settings.

  3. Add ADICOS detectors to the query, e.g. using the auto-scan feature.
    While the service PC is communicating with the connected detectors, the green LED (reply), as well as the yellow LED (query), should be flashing.

Checking Bus Communication
Once all of the devices have been started up and the central (host) computer and ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S have been switched on, the ADICOS System Software can be opened.
The software enables each separate device to be integrated and checked using the central computer. While the service PC is communicating with the connected detectors, the green LED (reply), as well as the yellow LED (query), should be flashing.

Operation

The ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S does not have a switch. It is started up by connecting the included external plug-in power supply to the 230 V supply or by connecting it to a DC 24V power supply.

  • The top red status LED is illuminated during operation.
  • If the service PC is connected, the green and yellow status LEDs light up to indicate the respective communication.

Switching off device

  • Unplug the plug-in power supply from the electrical outlet.

Failure
If the lower red signal LED “Overload/short-circuit” lights up, it means there is a malfunction

Maintenance

  • When used as intended, the ADICOS M-BUSMASTER S requires no maintenance.

Cleaning

  • Wipe the enclosure with a clean cloth as needed. Never use aggressive cleaning agents!

Disposal
Return the device to the manufacturer when it reaches the end of its serviceable life. The manufacturer will ensure that the components are disposed of properly, in an environmentally friendly manner.
