Note!
The menu steps/numbers of a RDCP Slave can vary to the master.
Please pay attention to the text in the display.
The Display-and remote control panel (RDCP) acts as a remote control panel for linked
detectomat-fire-control- and extinguish systems. The linkage takes place by an Intel Bitbus, a
standardised industrial field bus which works with the Master-Slave Principle. The choice which
network component should be the master and which the slave is set by the Bitbus-node-address
(set up by DIP-switch, see technical records):
Master = Address 1
Slave = Address 2 - 62
Bitbus-PC-Card = Address 63, 64 (from Software version 3ME03 on, only 64!)
3ME03_xx RDCP-Master A RDCP with this software can only operate as Master. It is
4ME03_xx obligatory necessary that the address is set to1. Commissioning with
an other address is not possible. If further RDCP’s are to be installed
in the network, than these need to be equipped with the software-
version 3SE03_XX.

Attention!
All components must be set to the same transfer rate; Set up by Jumper
(s. technical documents)
A repeater must be installed between two line segments.
A line segments is restricted to the amount of connected components and to
its length. Repeater are as well network components and have to be taken in
account.
Cable specification:
• Isolated Cable with 1 wire pair (with out repeater) or
2 wires pairs (with repeater), wires twisted, at least
30 raps per meter, wires with different hitches.
Wires with multiple colour identification
• Wire cross section higher than 0,22 mm.
• Cable resistance below 100 Ohm/km.
• Wire convolution 120 Ohm.
• Capacity smaller than 70 nF/km between the wires.
140 nF/km stray capacity
• Crosstalk attenuation at 150 kHz > 40 dB between wires
Cable layout:
The power supply of the eventual installed repeater should be bounded during laying the cable in
the data cable. To assure a safe operation we recommend to implement the power supply with
double wire. In this case the amount of cables increase from 4 to 8 cables. At small networks
(those who do not have repeater) only 2 data lines are necessary and if so the power supply.
If the alarm transmission should be managed via the master-RDCP, than a redundant transmission
path is recommended. (see. Chapter 12.3).
Cable connection:
PIN Component 1 Component 2 Component N
3 = DATA* DATA* DATA*
8 = DATA DATA DATA
4 = RTS* RTS* RTS* (if use of repeater)
9 = RTS RTS RTS (if use of repeater)
Version 2.7 9
4.4 Power supply of the RDCP
The power supply for the RDCP is 230 VAC. Rechargeable batteries (max. 24 Ah) can be placed
inside the housing for emergency supply. The charging takes place via the main adapter of the
RDCP.
Attention!
To activate the control function of the main adapter the parameter 3 is to be
set to 1 (see Chapter 18.5.2 Parameter).
The RDCP in the 19” assembly version (Art.-No. 30127) needs a separate 24 VDC power supply.
This can be occur via a FCP from the network for example. To assure a safe function we
recommend to carry out the power supply via a double wired cable. The power consumption of the
RDCP is to be regarded with the rechargeable battery.
5 Function description
The RDCP shows all appearing messages of the system and allows to handle al connected Fire-
control-systems. At a corresponding programming it is possible that access authorisation blocks a
FCP or reduces its user level. It is possible to connect multiple RDCP`s in one system. One of them
acts as a Master and the rest as Slaves. The functions of the slaves are just as practicable.
6 Operation-/Service mode
The RDCP operates in two modes, the operation and the service mode. The respective operating
mode is indicated in the LC display in a text format, unless there are special messages.
The operation mode is the normal mode, where the RDCP polls the FCP`s about messages and
events or to control the different FCP`s. For this mode to work, the door of the RDCP must be
closed.
The service mode is activated as soon as the front door is opened (Provided a door contact switch
is present). While opening the door, the transmission line (if the transmission line is connected to
the RDCP) is automatically disabled. Opening the door will also disable the internal buzzer so as
not to irritate staff who may be working near the panel.
7 LCD-Display
Unless there are messages or the unit is in service mode, the top line from the four lines in the
LCD display indicates the current date and time. The third line indicates the mode type
(In Operation or Service).
The back light is activated automatically, i.e. when a key requiring an entry or one of the cursor
keys [ ] / [ ] are pressed the back light is enabled. If no further keys are pressed, the back
light will stay enabled for about 60 seconds before it goes out. If further keys are pressed, the
back light is disabled again 60 seconds after the last key was pressed.
Version 2.7 10
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
The first line shows automatically the sub panel from which the message comes. If a customer
specific text is programmed with the dpt-tool for that panel then this will be indicated instead of
“Sub panel xyz”.
The second line indicates the type of message, the zone, detector number and if type of fault.
If there is no message displayed under “Type of fault”, then the addressable detector has been
removed or is defective. The example above shows an open circuit fault at detector 5 in Zone 2.
How detectors are assigned to zones will be explained in detail below. The first received message
(initial message) will get an “*” as an identification marker at the end of the zone. If several
messages of the same type (e.g. 5 alarms) are received at the same time, the first message is
displayed in the LCD, all following messages can be viewed via the cursor key [ ] and [ ].
Test-alarms are alarms which can be set in the “revision mode” or the “detector test” function.
Pre-alarms only occur in combination with addressable detectors.
If the parameter for pre-alarms is set, the FCP will activate a local alarm below the alarm threshold
in the display of the panel and will not transmit the alarm to the fire and rescue services or set off
any sirens.
Version 2.7 11
7.2 Indication of system fault
System faults are do not come from detectors or other external devices, but refer to an internal
disturbance from the CPU. The RDCP is equipped with comprehensive monitoring functions which
guarantee that each deviation from the desired state, no matter how small, is indicated as a
message. These messages may have different degrees of priority. They are either indicated in the
LCD display in a text format or only as LED display. Possible system faults and the corresponding
measures to be taken are listed below (ranked according to priority):
Special features: The alarm counter only indicates messages received from different modules. If,
e.g. 2 detectors from Zone 1 and 3 detectors from Zone 2 are in alarm, the alarm counter indicates
002. Browsing with the cursor keys [ ] and [ ] the respective first message of a zone can be
viewed. If, as in the example below, several detectors within the same zone are in alarm, an arrow
pointing to the right will appear in the display next to the first message. By means of the cursor
key [ ] the further detectors may then be displayed.
The buttons under the display are arranged in the sequence
By pressing one of these buttons, the operator can call up the respective messages onto the
display. If, e.g. the display currently shows an alarm message and the fault counter indicates
“001”, the fault will be indicated in the display after pressing the button “Faults”. If several fault
messages are indicated, the cursor keys [ ] / [ ] can be used to browse through the
messages. The cursor key [ ] always browses in the direction of the most recent message, the
cursor key [ ] in the direction of the older messages. Once the alarm indication function has
been left, the display will automatically jump back to the First alarm message after 30 seconds.
When the cursor key has reached the oldest message, the next keystroke will show the most
recent message (scrolling in a circle) again.

Version 2.7 13
The 4th functional block contains the displays for the area “Transmission unit”.
The LEDs have the following meaning:
[ Main Alarm ] - indicates a main alarm, i.e. the panel tries to alert the fire
and rescue services.
[ Fire Brigade called ] - the fire alarm signal was successfully transmitted to the fire
and rescue services.
[ Call Fire Brigade ] - the alarm was not transmitted, the operator has to call
the fire services manually.
[ Fire Brigade - Sabotage alarm transmitted from key deposit box
Key Deposit Box ]
9 Access control
For operating the panel the operator can gain access to the panel by means of various numerical
codes (passwords) which have to be entered via the key pad.
Password : ____
Each digit entered will be hidden and represented by an “*”. After entering the digits the enter key
[ ] at the bottom right of the number block has to be pressed. This applies to almost all inputs.
An incorrect input may either be corrected by means of the cursor or the input cancelled by
pressing the escape key [ A ] . If a wrong password has been entered, a short beep will sound.
Nothing will be changed and the old settings remain intact.
The [ A ] key always allows a return to the previous menu without storing the changes.
The passwords are graded according to access level.
The password for Access level 2A can be changed at the RDCP as follows:
Version 2.7 14
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
As a result the 4-digit password of access level 2A will be displayed, which can then be changed.
The new password must be confirmed by pressing [ ]
To change the 5-digit password (access level 3) follow the instructions as above but press the
button [Fault ] instead of “Disconnections”.
Note!
The password for access level 2B (9999) can not be changed.
If a modem is used, the programming software “dpt 3000” will query the password, i.e.
operating the unit via modem is only possible if the correct
5-digit password is entered on request (see Operating Instruction
“dpt 3000”). Consequently access to a RDCP equipped with a modem is only possible,
if the password for the system level is known.
Authorisation remains active for three minutes after pressing the last key. There is also the option
to block access earlier than the 3 minutes by pressing the [ A ] for-abandon or escape while in
neutral position (date and time of day is displayed in the display). In this case all access levels can
only be accessed again after entering the password.
By pushing the [ ] button the internal and external buzzer are disabled. If no access code
(access level 1) has been entered, this is not possible unless either 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 or 8 are entered
for parameter 2 (activating external alarm device) in the system parameters
(see menu 15.5.10 “System parameter”, sub-menu “Parameter”). If a 2 or 4 have been entered
there, the internal and external buzzer (if installed) can only be disabled via the access code for
access level 2A.
By opening the door of the panel the buzzer will also be disabled, so as not to irritate staff who
may work near the detect RDCP.
11 Lamp test
The [ Lamp test ] function is the second possible function that can be carried out without a
password (access level 1). It activates the internal buzzer, all LED’s and all pixels in the LCD are
displayed for 2 seconds to test their correct function. The LCD display will stay illuminated for a
further 60 seconds, and then returns to normal.
Version 2.7 15
12 Transmission unit in a network
12.1 In general
There are three different possibilities of forwarding an alarm status via the transmission unit.
First of all, via the Master-RDCP, secondary via the Master-RDCP’s emergency path, and thirdly by
the sub-panels. Only these three possibilities guaranty a correct alarm transmission.
The settings of these three possibilities are explained here.
The function of a transmission unit in a slave-RDCP is not permitted.
Note!
If the transmission unit is disabled by the key [ Transmission Unit On/Off ] then you can
only enable the transmission unit again by pressing the key on the panel where it has
been turned off. If the transmission unit is disabled from a sub-panel then it is not
possible to enable it again at the Master-RDCP. You need to do this from the sub-panel
where you have disabled it from.
Master-RDCP: Parameter 5 = 1
Parameter 9 = 1
Sub-panel: Parameter 5 = 2
Slave-RDCP: Parameter 5 = 2
A complete disabling or enabling of all TU can be done from the master and the slave RDCP.
If the TU of only selected sub-RDCP should be disabled/enabled than the command must be done
at the respective sub-RDCP. A disabling/enabling of selected sub-RDCP is not possible from the
Master RDCP.
Version 2.7 16
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
Master-RDCP: Parameter 5 = 1
Parameter 9 = 1
Sub-panel: Parameter 5 = 1
Slave-RDCP: Parameter 5 = 2
A complete disabling or enabling of all TU can be done from the master and the slave RDCP.
If the TU of only selected sub-RDCP should be disabled/enabled than the command must be done
at the respective sub-RDCP. A disabling/enabling of selected sub-RDCP is not possible from the
Master RDCP.
If the TU is disabled from a sub-panel then this panel will not trigger the TU to the Master-RDCP.
All other sub-panels can however still activate the main detector connected to the Master-RDCP. If
the disabling is done from the Master-RDCP then the TU will be disabled throughout the network.
Attention!
An alarm will only activate the main detector from the panel where the alarm
has been activated from. The main detectors of all the other sub-panels will
not be triggered.
The TU may not be connected to the RDCP’s (Neither Master nor Slave)
The following system parameters need to be set:
Master-RDCP: Parameter 5 = 2
Parameter 9 = 0
Sub-panel: Parameter 5 = 1
Slave-RDCP: Parameter 5 = 2
The TU of the respective sub-panels can be operated from the Master-RDCP. If the TU of all sub-
panels need to be disabled, then this must be done at every sub-panel. If the TU is disabled from
the RDCP or directly from the sub-panel, then the main detectors of the remaining sub-panels can
still be triggered.
Version 2.7 17
13 Delay On/Off
Provided access has been authorised, pushing the [ Delay On/Off ] button will alternately enable or
disable the delayed transmission. The delay is possible regardless where the transmission is
connected to (master or sub control panel). This means that in combination with the day/night
configuration the main alarm is transmitted with a delay, provided the alarm has not been reset in
the meantime. Reaction and investigation times have to be programmed at the sub control panel’s
in the first place, for this function to become effective. The zones which are to be disabled from
sub-panels detect 3004 (plus) must be accordingly programmed in these panels.
An active delay is indicated by means of the corresponding LED glowing and an entry in the LCD
window.
In the first line of the LC-Display is indicated to which unit the message corresponds to and the
second line indicates „On: Delay“. To disable the delay proceed in the same way.
A request with the opportunities “0” for operation panel respectively enter of the sub-panel
number will appear. The sounder line of the panel where the command is carried out, will be
changed by selecting “0” operation panel. It is for example not possible to disable the external
warning of the RDCP-Master from the RDCP-Slave or other way round.
The sounder of the selected sub-panel can be disabled/enabled by entering a sub-panel number.
The disabled condition will be indicated by the glowing LED next to the button and by the LCD-
Display. The alarm devices can only be activated by a fire alarm, if they are enabled.
When they are enabled, the external signalling devices are either activated by a main alarm
(parameter 2 = 0) or, alternatively, when an internal alarm (initial alarm) has been identified
(because e.g. a 2 zone-dependency was programmed) and the parameter 2 = “1” was
programmed. If the alarm devices are disabled off, they will not be activated under any
circumstances.

By pressing the [ Reset ] key the operator can effect a collective reset, i.e. all fault messages of
connected panels are deleted. Modules of an addressable system which were activated are also
reset by means of this function. It is true that currently existing failure messages emitted by
detectors/zones are also reset by pressing this key, they will, however reappear immediately as
the fault normally still exists. Access must be authorised by entering the correct password

By selecting the numbers of an alarm output (1 - 128) it is possible to deactivate certain alarm
outputs. These would then not be activated if there was an alarm in the corresponding zone.
If the centralised alarm and single alarms are to be enabled again, the procedure is the same,
the process only has to be started by pressing the [ Switch on ] key.
Because a RDCP has no alarm output it is logically only possible to disable the fault output.
Therefore by selecting “0” for remote panel only this output can be entered.
To select the outputs of the sub-panels enter the number of the sub-panel and then select the
desired output which is to be enabled/disabled.
The desired sub-menu can be selected by pressing the corresponding figures in the number block.

Note!
The RTC-Data (Real Time Clock) of the RDCP is validated.
If incorrect, this data is found in the memory then the RTC-Fault message will appear.
The system-LED and fault-LED will be activated. To reset the fault message enter the
menu LEVEL “System parameter”, press [ A ] to go back to the previous level and
check the date and time [ 1 ] “Set Time”.
The setting of the time in a network can only be changed in the master.
The current time and date are inserted in the first zone of the display and the LCD cursor is below
the first figure at the far left. The second zone has the day of the week inserted and the third zone
the current setting regarding summer/winter time. By moving the cursor keys left/right the cursor
may now be moved within the zone. Once you have reached the position where a change is to be
entered, this is done directly by entering the correct figure on the number pad (number block).
By pressing the cursor keys up/down [ ] / [ ] the day of the week can be changed.
This menu also allows the operator to change manually from summer to winter time (and vice
versa). This is only necessary, if the setting is not correct on Start-up. If the time is to be set
manually, you must use the cursor key [ ] to scroll down to “Sunday”. If you then press the
cursor key [ ] once again, the setting changes from summer to winter time or the other way
round, depending on which time was originally set. Please make sure that you set the correct day
again by means of the [ ] cursor key. After the correct data have been entered, the input is
confirmed by pressing the Enter [ ↵ ] key and saved.
Once summer or winter time have been set correctly, no further adjustments will be necessary,
provided parameters 21 and 22 are set correctly (see menu “System parameter“).
After setting up the right time and date, these must be confirmed and saved with the [ ↵ ] key.

will take place on the LC-Display instead of the printer and the output format is slightly different.
After entering the number of the required sub panel the following message will appear:
Zone :
Conventional detector
Line: 01
Linie current:003mA
If the zone 1 entered is a zone with several loop detectors, the LC display will show the following
data (as example):
IODR
Z009 D001 (S03A001)
AV: 025 AT: 055
After a few seconds the LCD cursor will flash on the first letter. From now on all data for all
detectors in the Zone entered will be available. With the cursor keys right/left the LCD cursor can
be shifted along the first zone. Here every letter symbol stands for a detector, or, to express it
more generally, for an address. Depending on the symbol the cursor stays on, the third and fourth
zone of the display will indicate the data corresponding to the address.
The symbols have the same meaning as in “Print detector data” above. The symbols in the first
line have the following meanings:

The required inputs have to be entered and subsequently the detector data will be displayed (as
described under “display detector data”). Should the alarm stage not have been reached after 30
seconds, failure will be indicated. Otherwise an alarm will be triggered which will, of course, not
be connected through as a main alarm. This alarm will delete itself automatically after 30 seconds.

This indicates that the last activity carried out was a disabling of the transmission unit at the sub
control panel 1 with the Bitbus address 004 on the 04-04-01 at 13:45 o’clock.
The cursor [ ] allows the operator to continue to the next earlier message, the cursor [ ] to
the next more recent one. The cursor key [ < > ]/[ ] can be used to leap by 10 messages.

turned on or if the Bitbus component can not process the information fast enough)
T The indication flag is set to 1 if the Bitbus component does not response in the required
time. Is set for example if the connection to the Bitbus component is disconnected.
Q This counter only registries Bitbus communication faults which could occur by for
example EMC faults. These could be checksum faults (CRC), overrun and so on.
This counter value does not reset itself, so that you can check the transmission quality
over a longer period. This counter value can be set back in the menu item „Reset Status“
Cnt This counter value registries all Bitbus communication faults and resets every 5 seconds.
If a Bitbus component is faulty then the Bitbus fault will be set back after 10 seconds of
faultless operation.
Attention!
The values C, T, Q and Z are NOT indicated in the RDCP-Slave software!

The RDCP “alarm organisation” sub-menus in detail:
18.5.1.1 Zone-LEDs
A maximal amount of 192 indication-LED’s for any type of detector zones can be assigned from
the connected sub control panel.
After inserting [ 0 ] to select this point, the following sub menu appears in the display:
LED-Number : _
FCP-Number :
Zone :
Confirm with <-
The LED-number (1-192), the number of the sub control panel and the number of the zone which
should be assigned are to be inserted.
The optional accessory „LED-Adapters“ can only be programmed at the Master-RDCP.
Sector :_
FCP-Number :
Zone :
LCD- Tableau:
The area-number (1-128), the number of the sub panel the detector zone and the LCD-panel
address are to be entered. If the detector zone number is set to “0” then the section of the
complete sub panel is selected.
Special case!
If you enter the FCP-Number 62 in Sector 1, (FCP-Number and Detector zone must be
set to 000) then only alarm messages and disabling messages will be transmitted.
Faults will then not be indicated at the LCD-Tableau’s .
You can program the sectors of the LCD-Tableau from Sector 2 on as usual.
After entering [ 1 ] to select this point the following sub menu appears:
Sector : _
FCP-Number :
Zone :
Detector :
Version 2.7 32
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
The sector-number (1-128), the number of the sub panel the zone and the detector number are to
be entered.
If zone and detector number are set to 0 then the involved area is set to the whole sub panel.
If the zone is set to 0 then the whole zone is included to the area of the specified sub panel.
FCP-Number : _
Zone-Offset :
The sub panel number and the offset for this sub panel are to be entered here. If for example a
zone-offset of 100 is programmed for the sub panel 2 than a message of the first zone from this
panel will be indicated as zone 101. The zone-offset can only be programmed at the master RDCP.
After programming all offsets it is obligatory to read in the nodes of the Bitbus configuration or
cut the power supply for a few seconds at the Master RDCP. Only now the programmed offsets are
send to all network components and sub control panel’s who have a LC-display.
All programming within a subpanel, for example detector zone settings, the alarm dependency’s
and the programming of active modules always refer to the normal detector zone of a single FCP,
even if there is a detector zone offset within a network.
- A detect 3010/3016 FCP can handle max. 192 zones,
- A detect 3004 can handle max. 128 zones.
A detector zone offset for a sub panel will be added to the factual existing detector zones.
The Zone numbers of all display- and printer outputs, event buffer, disablements and revisions will
be calculated by the detector zone offset.
If there are no detector zone offsets within a network then you will always be requested to enter
the sub panel number to operate disablements and revisions at the RDCP’s.
If there is a detector zone offset within a network, then you only need to enter the zone number.
Every zone number within a network is unique.
The detector zone offset must increase with rising SP-No. This means that if a detector zone offset
of 200 is programmed to SP 2 then you can not programme a zone offset of 100 to SP 3.
The zone offset of SP 3 must then be higher than 200.
If you use a detector zone offset within a network, then a detector zone offset needs to be
programmed to all sub-panels. It is not allowed to have a SP in-between with an detector zone
offset of 0000.
Only exception:
SP1 can be programmed with an offset of 0000 and all not existing sub panels are always to be
programmed to a detector zone offset 0000.
Version 2.7 33
Detector zone offsets may never be programmed to the same offset.
For example SP1 and SP2 with detector zone offset 200.
Version 2.7 34
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
Explanation:
to 1) In the setting “Berlin“ (1) the relays and electronic outputs “Transmission Line – Alarm”,
“accumulated alarm” and “accumulated fault“ will be activated nevertheless, when the
button “release fire emergency controls“ is pressed.
In the setting “Munich “ (3) the function “Transmission Line test” is not possible if the
transmission Line is disabled at the FCP.
to 2) If a “0“ is entered here, the external signaller will be activated in case of a main alarm.
If a “1“ is entered, the external signalling devices will be activated in case of internal
alarm, even if the main alarm has been programmed to react with a delay. In the Swiss
(“2“) type activation, the ext. signaller is confirmed by pressing the button “ “
(disabled until next alarm) but only after the password for access level 2A has been
entered. In setting “3“ pressing the button “ “ also confirms the external warning
devices, but here this is possible without entering a password.
Setting “4“ works in the same way as setting “2“, the alarm devices will, however,
only be activated for the first time by a main alarm.
Version 2.7 35
to 3) If a “0“ is entered the messages for power supply and battery supply is not operated.
If the RDCP is supplied with its own power adapter and battery supply then the value “1”
has to be entered here.
to 4) The main fault delay can be keyed in directly in minutes up to a maximum of 30 minutes
via the key pad. Please pay attention to national regulations.
to 5) There is an option to install a Transmission unit (normally for alarming the fire brigade);
if this option has been realised, the extension must be released here.
At the RDCP this parameter is automatically set to 01 (with TU-interface) if the parameter
9 is set to 01. The installation of an TU-interface at a Slave-RDCP is not permitted.
to 6) The Bitbus interface is fitted as standard and can not be deactivated, it is always active.
to 8) The activation time of the main detector can be altered here. If the setting is “0”, a
continuous alarm is activated (e.g. for Siemens MDL-F) until the alarm is reset. If the
parameter is set to”1“, the alarm is activated by impulse (duration 1 - 2 s). This setting
has to be chosen for the T&N main detector. If the setting is “2“, the alarm is also
activated by impulse and the feedback impulse is saved and passed on via the output
accumulated disconnecting.
to 9) Activating the main detector at the sub control panel. (Standard). If the alerting should
take place by the master RDCP then the value “1” has to be entered here.
This parameter is only to be changed if the TU is enabled at ALL RDCP and sub panels.
This parameter is set to “00” at a RDCP-Slave and can not be changed.
Attention!
Observe the redundancy so that the TU- activation can take place if there is a
fault in the transmission between a component and the RDCP-Master.
(see also chapter 12 „Transmission enable/disable“ and wiring diagrams)
to 10) The printer filter makes it possible that only alarm and fault message are printed out.
All other messages will be ignored. The ex-factory set-up is without printer filter.
Revision and test alarm will be printed out even with the printer filter.
to 11) By choosing the setting “Germany“ the normal EN54 software is selected, in the version
tested with the RDCP. The option “the Netherlands“ activates several functions specific for
the Netherlands, e.g. the so-called “Backspeep“ or resetting a failure manually and not
automatically.
to 14) With this parameter it is possible to realise separate signalling for automatic detectors and
push-button detectors. If “1” is entered here, the Transmission unit relay will principally
only react on an alarm from an automatic detector. The internal alarm relay will in this
case only react in an alarm triggered by the push-button detectors.
to 15) For remote maintenance / diagnostics, the RDCP can be equipped with a modem. In order
to initialise the modem, the modem has to be given certain commands. This is achieved
by setting parameter 15 on “01” and than watching the display development in the
second line. Six asterisk will appear one after the other in the second display line.
After the 6th asterisk, initialisation has been completed.
The following modem types have been tested at “detectomat” with a positive result:
ELSA Microlink 28,8TQV, 33kTQV, 56kTQV and Creatix SG2834.
The procedure is the same for all parameters. First the parameter number is requested by the
dialogue window:
Version 2.7 36
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
Parameter No.: _
Attention!
this function is not meant for upcoming realities faults reset. An another way to
synchronise the master RDCP and connected Bitbus components is the function
“read in nodes” (see chapter 18.5.7)
Attention!
The operation „Custom Text Init.“ must be done before uploading
new/changed customer text in to the RDCP-Master.
This is necessary so that the RDCP-Slave imports the correct customer text
during node read in.
This input selects a pre-selection of eventual connected LED’s of singe Zone indication. If for
example the value 32 is entered, then automatically 32 LED’s are preserved for each sub control
panel. This pre-selection can be changed individual as explained in chapter 18.5.1.1 Zone-LED’s.
After successful entered zone input all done programming will be set back to the default factory
setting of the RDCP.
Version 2.7 37
• Parameter 6 = 1
• Parameter 21 = 3
• Parameter 22 = 10
• all sectors of the Area selection are set to 0
• all detector zone-offsets are set to 0
These parameters are stored permanently in the battery-backed RAM store of the CPU.
If, however, these parameters should be lost through some disruption (flash of lightning,
short-circuit), the operator has the possibility to re-load the parameters (re-establish ex-factory
settings) using the “parameters init”. Lost parameters can e.g. be the reason for faulty LED or
faulty messages in the LC Display.
Once this function has been started, the software of the CPU loads the ex-factory settings without
further interference from outside. It has to be borne in mind, however, that all parameters are back
to their ex-factory settings. This means that all changes to the programming have been deleted,
not, however the specific customer texts for the detectors. In any case all LED and LCD displays
will function correctly again.
After entering [ 4 ] to select this input, the command has to be confirmed by pressing the Enter
key. This is a safety precaution in order to avoid inadvertent deletion.

19 Accessories
19.1 RDCP-LED-Interface (Art. 30128) incl.
Bitbus-CPU and flat cable adapter
The RDCP-LED-Interface in planed to retrofit a single detector zone indication to the 19”version
stepped RDCP. Up to 192 Zones are possible. If more than one RDCP is installed and every RDCP
supplied with a single zone indication than all indicate a fault or alarm in case.
The module consists of a universal Bitbus-CPU (MBC277) and a adapter-circuit board which can
be connected by a 26-pin flat cable to the single indicators. The flat cable between the adapter
circuit board and the LED board is included in delivery.
Both circuit board are mounted in a plastic tray which can be snapped onto DIN-bar.
For the LED-circuit boards the single zone-indication are in use. Please watch for the Jumper
configuration on the backside of the circuit board.
For installation in 19“ RDCP you need additional a 19“-front panel (Order: 30167) for respectively
2 zone indications.
The RDCP-LED-Interface receives per DIP–Switch an own Bitbus-Address which must be bigger
than 1 and smaller as 64. The RDCP-LED-Interface receives per DIP–Switch an own Bitbus-
Address which must be bigger than 1 and smaller as 64.
With help of the “dpt 3000” software it is possible to programme up to 192 zones.
This component will be recognised as type „FS1” during reading in nodes (Chapter 18.5.7)
Attention!
Programming is done with the Bitbus Programming Modem (Order no 30139).
The „Extension for Bitbus CPU“ is developed to program electronic outputs respectively relays.
6 functions can be set for every output which can be programmed by an “AND” or “OR” link.
Version 2.7 39
19.3 Bitbus-Repeater
19.3.1 In general
The present description refers to the Bitbus-Repeater BITRPT. This repeater is used if the specific
cable length (300m at 375 kB or 1200m at 62,5 kB) is exceeded or if more then 28 components
are used per cable section. Please observe the installation details. These contain important
information to fulfil the EMC-rules.
The terminal is only for indoor use qualified and may only be exposed to ambient temperature of
0° to 40° C. For safety reasons it is not permitted to install the device in damp locations.
The repeater is not splash water proof. If the life time of the repeater is expired then please
dispose it environment-friendly due to the local regulation
The repeater may only be opened for mounting, all terminals can be reached from outside.
Mounting
For mounting a free space of 160x70mm necessary. There are two mounting holes in the body.
Using a repeater can extends the Bitbus length up to 900m at 375kB / up to 13200m at 62,5kB or
increase the amount of Bitbus components up to 28 components incl. repeater per section.
A maximum of 2 repeater at 375kB / 10 repeater at 62,5 kB can be installed in series.
It is also possible to connect several repeaters to a main line for creating secondary lines
(tree-network). Please make sure not to connect more than 28 components (including the
repeater) to a section.
The RTS signal of all Bitbus components must be set to low active at a slave RDCP. Swapping the
RTS and RTS* wires has the same effect.
Please make sure that there are no unused lines in the bus cable. Lines can also be fitted twice or
connected to the terminal 5 (GND).

20 Assembly instructions
20.1 RDCP in housing
1. The control panel case is provided at beginning without batteries and without any cables.
2. The first step is to hang up the control panel by the top two blind holes in the back board.
Therefore two holes are to be drilled into the wall, (8 mm in diameter) for dowel S8.
The horizontal spacing between these holes must be 37,8 cm. Screw 2 screws into the
dowel but leave the about 4 mm space between the wall and head of screw. Now the case
can be hung up with the two blind holes.
3. Then the bottom two holes are to be drilled (8 mm diameter), insert S8 dowel into hole and
screw the screws tight.
4. Following the Bitbus-cable and if needed further cables are to be applied. Therefore there
are two cable entrances. One for in wall connector at the back of the control panel and one
for on wall at the top end of the housing for high-strength cable gland.
Version 2.7 42
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
21 Start up
Requirements for the first start up :
• proper installation of the RDCP. This consists of attaching all signal cables (Bitbus,
Sounder and so on) and a mounting according to our information. Power and battery not
yet connected.
• all network components have to be started according to the corresponding manuals of
the corresponding component and must run faultless. At sub-panels the FIFI Buffer
needs to be deleted. This has to happen before the master RDCP has initialised them.
To start the so called “Black Box” sub-panels these are to be equipped temporarily with
a control unit.
• At sub control panels the Bitbus-add on must be installed, the DIP-Switch for the node
address must be set to (Address between 2 an 63) and parameter 6 for the Bitbus
extension must be set to 1.
Than the following fault will be displayed at the sub-panel:
Flt: Bitbus Addr. Xxx (xxx= set node address)
• further on it is to be make sure that all network components have the same Bitbus-
transmission rate set (62,5 or 375 KB). The transmission rate can be set at each unit
by jumper or DIP-switch.
This display stays visible for about 4 seconds then changes into the normal operator window. If no
messages are active than the time and date are displayed in the first line and in the 3 line In
Operation or Service is indicated. Notice messages from sub-panels are not indicated.
At a slave-RDCP the In Operation/Service message appears as soon as power is attached.
Version 2.7 43
If the fault is still active after installing the terminating resistor then check the fuses, if the fuses
and the resistors are correctly installed than there is a failure in the hardware.
If the fault sets back as explained then the cable installation has to be checked.
Note: If a piezo-sounder (for example 40000) is connected to the signaller line then a 1K
terminating resistor has always be installed in the last sounder. If not then the monitoring voltage
can effect a interfering signal emission.
22 Fault details
22.1 Fault detail: ”Flt: Checksum Ram”
Note!
The Checksum will be recalculated after every power up and after any changes to the
system parameters.
The following message will be indicated if any faults occur.
The “System“LED will also be on.
The cause of this fault is an invalid change to the system values of the RDCP.
There are two possibilities to reset the correct the values in the system.
For new panels, where no programming is present, the easiest thing to do is the so called
“Three Inits“.
If the RDCP has been programmed, upload the complete programming via dpt again.
Alternatively it is also possible to upload the correct values for the invalid memory.
It is also possible to check the invalid area in the menu “Software version”.
The invalid area is indicated in the second line of the software version menu depending
where the 1 is being displayed.
Explanation of the four possible positions of the fault: (Reading from left to right)
1. Section programming
2. System parameter.
3. Zone-LED’s or zone-offset
4. Customer text.
To set the fault message back enter the menu level “System Parameters” [ 4 ].
Then upload the programming again into the RDCP.
The RCDP will recalculate the checksum for circa 5 seconds after accomplishing the three Inits
and leaving the menu level. Please wait until the time has expired before further test or settings
are done.
To change the points 1,2 and 3 it is necessary to load the corresponding project in the dpt and to
“upload” the data to the panel.
Version 2.7 44
15 Remote Display and Control Panel
To change point 4 it is necessary to load the corresponding project to dpt and then to “upload” the
customer text into the panel.
To reset the fault message enter the menu level “System Parameters”.
This will resolve the problem. If none of the above procedures are carried out then a fault on the
panel will remain. The panel will also indicate the fault again after the next checksum calculation.
To reset the fault message you need to enter the menu level „System Parameters“.
Note!
If the Panel is disabled, you need to wait at least 5 seconds before powering
the panel back up.

15 Remote Display and Control Panel
We have listed the individual network components and necessary software versions in our
“Software compatibility list detect System 3000”. You find the list in the download centre of our
homepage in the section “Software”.
Please pay attention to the following information concerning the operation of the detect 3004
(plus) panel in the detectomat network.
To integrate the FCP detect 3004 (plus) into the network, the Master or Slave RDCP needs to be
equipped with the software version 4xE_08_xx or newer.
Alarm-Message counter
- A 1 alarm of an alarm dependency and revision alarm can be counted differently at a RDCP and
sub panel (detect 3004 (plus)). The reason is that the detect 3004 (plus) does not cpunt these
alarm as an alarm, the RDCP does.
Cancel delay:
- Procedure at the RDCP: The investigation time is cancelled by pressing
[ Delay On / Off ], entering the password and selecting
the subpanel. The delay is completely disabled.
Version 2.7 47
- Procedure at the detect 3004: The investigation time is cancelled by pressing
[ Delay On / Off ], therefore no Password is needed.
If delay will be completely disabled if you enter the
password.
- Procedure at the detect 3004 (plus): The investigation time is cancelled by pressing
[ Delay On / Off ]. The delay can be enabled/disabled by
the menu “Delay On / Off”
The abort of the delay will only be indicated in the event buffer at the detect 3004 (plus).
This will not be saved in the event buffer of the RDCP / detect 3004.
Revision:
Revision alarm (TA):
- Indication at the RDCP: A test alarm and the red alarm led will be illuminated.
This message will increase the alarm message counter.
- Indication at the detect 3004: A test alarm and the red alarm led will be illuminated.
This message will increase the alarm message counter.
- Indication at the detect 3004 (plus): A test alarm will be indicated, the red Alarm-LED is
disabled. This message will increase the examination
message counter.
Revision faults:
- Indication at the RDCP:
A RDCP acts identical to a detect 3004 when the detect 3004 sends out a revision fault
message.
- A revision fault message from a detect 3004 (plus) panel will not be indicated at the RDCP.
The message at the RDCP will only be indicated in the Event-buffer and printed out if a printer
is installed..
- All other fault messages and disablements concerning the interface FireX will be indicated 1:1
at the RDCP.
- The interface FireX (on the MC-Card) are only at the sub-panels typ detect 3004 (plus) possible.
Other sub-panels or the RDCP is not compatible to the interface FireX.
