Bus interface for JA-100 wireless devices

The device is a bus module of the JABLOTRON system. It serves for communication with wireless devices in the system. It is supplied in a form of a PCB to be installed either directly into a holder in the control panel (A) or into the PLV-JA111R plastic intended for an installation outside the control panel (B) within the bus range. Up to three radio modules can be used in one system to extend the radio signal coverage. The device should be installed by a trained technician with a valid certificate issued by an authorised Jablotron distributor.

Installation

The JA-111R radio module should be installed at an appropriate place inside the building where the wireless communication is not affected. It means it should not be installed near bigger metal objects, electronic appliances or switchboards (the recommended distance from such objects is at least 2 m). The radio module also works the best when installed at least 2 m from the control panel.

Although the ideal distance between the radio module and the control panel is 2 m, we state that the output of the radio module placed in the holder in the control panel is sufficient enough to cover most installations of small and medium-sized family houses, flats or offices. For large installations (e.g. multi-storey apartment buildings) up to three radio modules can be installed in the system. In such cases a minimum distance between the radio modules of 10 m in an open area or one wall or one floor inside a building must be met.

The signal level of wireless devices in the given installation should not be less than 20 % due to the possible connection loss. In such case it is necessary to find a more convenient place to install the radio module or to add another radio module to the installation.

Installation of the radio module into the control panel (A)

The PCB of the radio module can be placed into the holder directly in the control panel. The connection to the control panel is made with a flat cable supplied with the control panel (always at the required length depending on the type of the control panel).

The bus connector on the control panel PCB is exclusively designed for the connection of one radio module placed in the holder in the control panel.

1 – tamper contact; 2 – connection cable connector; 3 – upper holder tabs; 4 – lower inclined locking tabs; 5 – radio module holder; 6 – locking detail;

1. Insert the PCB of the radio module (orientation according to Figure 1) into the holder (5) in a direction indicated by arrow I. at an angle given by the three lower inclined locking tabs (4). Make sure that the PCB of the radio module sits with its half-round cutouts on the half-round tabs – see detailed locking (6). This is very important because the next step is securing the radio module with the upper tabs (3) in a direction indicated by arrow II. during which the tamper contact (1) on the top side of the radio module must be triggered.
2. Plug the connection cable (supplied with the control panel) to the radio module connector (2) and then to the connector of the control panel (see the installation manual of the control panel).

Installation of the radio module outside the control panel (B)

The PCB of the radio module can be installed outside the control panel within the bus range by placing it into the PLV-JA111R plastic cover. The plastic cover comes with a mounting package including labelled bus terminals. To take out the radio module from the holder in the control panel unplug the connection cable, release the upper tabs (3) and take out the radio module from the holder.

When connecting the radio module to the bus, always switch the power off.

1. Open the plastic cover by pressing the tab in the rear part in the direction indicated by the arrow I. and by tilting the front part in the direction indicated by the arrow II. The plastic parts of the radio module cover will become separated.
2. Place the radio module into the front part of the cover (orientation – indication LED up, terminal down). We recommend holding the radio module by the bus connector (components of the radio module facing up), place the left side of the radio module at an angle under the locking tabs on the left side and then place the other side under the locking tabs on the right side of the part of the plastic cover. The correct position is defined by the half-round cut-outs in the radio module PCB and the guiding grooves in the inner side of the front part of the plastic cover (9). For a proper fitting into the plastic part a slight force must be used, it is advised to push on the label with the production code (7) and the shielding plate (8).
3. Prepare holes for the bus cable in the bottom of the rear part (16). Put the bus cable through.
4. Screw on the rear part (13) including the attachment of the segment for a tamper detection (14).
5. Shorten the bus cable to a suitable length and remove the top insulation (for a better positioning of the wires in the cover).
6. Connect the bus cable to the labelled terminal from the PLV-JA111R mounting package.
7. Plug the connected terminal (11) to the counterpart of the terminal on the radio module (orientation given by the locks of the terminal).
8. Close the radio module cover. Wires of the bus cable must be only in the space separated by the cable separator (15).
