2.3 Wiring.
The proper grounding and isolation of the devices is an important issue in each wide area
system. All the system elements are equipped with a grounding connector, and should be
connected to a common grounding point in the central station via a 2.5mm
2
wire. The
data bus shield should be connected to common ground on one end only. The data shield
should not under any circumstances be grounded on both ends of the transmitting wire.
The design should plan to include appropriate power supply wiring including a grounding
wire connected to all devices that require it. To separate a part of the system galvanically
the ATS1470 isolating module has to be used, as it provides insulation up to 1.5kV. Using
the module you have to remember that it needs to be connected to system grounding on
the side it’s powered from.
The powering elements further away than 100m from the control panel or a power supply-
equipped DGP, needs to be laid separately from the data bus. Having the power supply
alongside the data bus can lead to voltage dropping below 10.5V which can hamper
system stability. A further limit is the maximum current load (1A) of the power output.
2.4 Connecting other power supplies.
When planning to connect another power supply, you have to ensure the proper
connection to the system grounding and not connect the positive connectors to any other
power supply. The system power supply in emergency situations requires that additional
power sources ensure an adequate supply in case of mains power failure. For systems
with higher security levels, the power supply needs to fulfil certain criteria of back up
power duration and subsequent recharging of the batteries. Examples of calculations can
be found in section 2.1. A further requirement is monitoring the mains power. For that,
you need to provide one alarm zone, which will be activated in case of mains power
failure. Drawing 2-1 shows an example of connecting an external power supply to the
ATS system. A 2A @138V DC power supply with battery backup is used. It is supplied
with a transformer and housing, in which a BS127N(7.2 Ah) or BS130N(10Ah) battery
can be installed. The power supply can also be installed in an empty ATS housing and
use a bigger battery, but the power supply circuit board is not compliant with the ATS
mounting holes standard.
