Odyssey X-W (Premier Elite V2.11.X or later) Battery Insertion & Learning procedure

When installing a wireless sounder, the batteries should be installed and the device learned to the panel BEFORE it is mounted in the chosen location. The sounder should always be the last fixed device learned and installed.



All other fixed devices should be in their desired location before learning the sounder

The following sequence should be used.

1.

2.

3.

4.

5.

6.

Access the device as described on the previous pages.

Install the batteries into the holder

Connect battery pack to PCB

Learn sounder to panel

Make Jumper selection for LED ON/OFF

Make Jumper Selection for Sounder Time

Odyssey X-W PCB Layout

Symbol Description

The battery pack should be connected here after installing the batteries.

Powering the sounder on for the first time starts the learn process. Once learned the "POWER" jumper should be left in the "ON" position.



If you need to relearn the sounder, the link should be moved to the OFF position for a minimum of 1 second.

Enables or disables the comfort LED's. Disabling the LED's significantly increases battery life.

The sounder on time is dictated by this jumper position and is independent of the Bell On time in the control panel. If however the panel bell time is shorter than the jumper setting selected, the panel will over ride the jumper setting.

Only Lithium AA 1.5V Type batteries should be used



Alkaline batteries should not be used, they will have a much shorter lifespan and can freeze and fail to operate at -5 C

Used Batteries should be disposed of according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The quoted battery life is an estimate and will depend on the site conditions.

Odyssey X Installation Manual

Learning the Sounder (Odyssey X-W only)

As with all Ricochet enabled devices, the sounder should be learned to the control panel along with all other devices BEFORE it is installed in its final location.

The Odyssey X-W are learned to a Zone on the control panel in the same way that Ricochet enabled detection devices are. The Zone type and

Ricochet Device Mode is automatically assigned based on the type of device being learned. In the case of the sounder the Zone Type is set to

"Custom" and the Ricochet Device Mode is set to Device Specific. These should not be changed. Zone attributes 1 & 2 and Chime options will be ignored for Ricochet enabled Sounders.

• You can learn the device from first power up following "Confirm Devices" or from the dedicated Ricochet Learn menu.

•

•

The Odyssey X-W has no Learn Switch, learning is initiated by connecting the batteries via the Power Jumper

To learn the Odyssey X-W to the system follow the diagram below.

Odyssey X Installation Manual

Mounting the Unit (all models)

Select a suitable position to mount the unit, which satisfies the following criteria:

• Highly prominent for maximum deterrence

• Additional shelter (e.g. under the eaves) is an advantage

• High enough to be out of normal reach to deter tampering

• Safe ladder access

• Good cable access

In addition to the two adjustable screw fixing points, the unit also has a central keyhole & spirit level to simplify mounting and aid levelling.

Three screws and wall plugs are required for mounting the backplate to an even surface. An additional screw may be required to adjust the wall tamper by fitting through the screw hole next to the dual tamper microswitch. In doing so, care must be taken to leave the screw head slightly proud to ensure that the microswitch remains level and closes correctly when the inner cover is fitted.



For maximum weatherproofing the unit should be flat to the wall.

Spirit Level

All units come with an integral spirit level to aid installation, the spirit level may be mounted vertically or horizontally in the backplate. By default the level will be mounted horizontally.

8

Keyhole fixing

The keyhole fixing is accessed by opening the inner cover as described in the previous section.

Make sure to adjust the tamper screw correctly before fully tightening this screw.

Side fixings

The two side fixings will lock into place when the screw is tightened.

With the unit in place and hung from the keyhole fixing, you can drill anywhere in the open area to obtain the optimum fixing point.

INS627-2

Adjusting removal from mounting tamper

The removal from mounting tamper screw must be used on all surfaces; on uneven surfaces it will prevent the keyhole screw from damaging the tamper breakout. .

The screw should be driven in until it makes contact with the wall.



Failure to do this may result in incorrect operation of the tamper circuit.

Odyssey X Installation Manual

Internal Lid Tamper

The Odyssey X is fitted with an internal lid tamper to prevent access to the electronics and wiring of the unit. The screw located on the inside of the internal hinged lid should be adjusted so that the tamper switch closes correctly when the lid is screwed into place.

Wiring the Unit

Connect the unit to the control panel as follows:

A (12V)

B (BELL)

C (TAMP)

D (0V)

S (STRB)

Permanent Positive Supply

Negative Applied Output to Activate Siren

Negative Removed on Tamper Input



* Not applicable to Odyssey X-E & X-BE

Although the unit has been designed to be compatible with a wide range of control panels, for optimum performance, it is highly recommended that the unit should be used with Texecom's range of control panels.

INS627-2 9

Odyssey X Installation Manual

For safety reasons, each Texecom sounder and strobe unit incorporates a unique patented engineer Hold-Off mode. This mode prevents the unit from self-activating during installation and maintenance, thereby allowing only bona fide engineers access to the unit without any loss of tamper protection.

When connecting the unit to the control panel, it is recommended that wiring should be connected to the unit first and the control panel second.

The unit should then be initially powered from the control panel. If the tamper circuit is open the siren will sound for 5 seconds after which it will automatically enter Hold-Off mode and disable Self-Activate (S/A) on tamper. This will prevent the unit from self-activating as long as the tamper circuit remains open. An open tamper circuit is indicated by only the left-hand side LED flashing. Connect the battery either using the jumper included on some models or by moving the red battery wire from the “N/C” (No Connect) terminal to the “Battery +” terminal. Fit the outer cover and secure with the M6 screw(s) provided.

When the outer cover is replaced and the tamper circuit is closed, the LEDs will alternate rapidly, confirming that the tamper circuit is secure and signalling that S/A on tamper will be re-enabled within 2 minutes, after which the LEDs will alternate slowly to signal normal operation. If the tamper circuit is re-opened within the 2 minute period, then Hold-Off mode will be restored.



If the unit is powered up with the tamper circuit closed it will NOT sound for 5 seconds and will NOT enter Hold-Off mode.

In order to disable the S/A function, before the cover is removed, Hold-Off mode should be invoked as for servicing (see

Section 0).



For safety reasons the strobe is disabled during Hold-Off mode.



Hold-Off mode is immediately cancelled when the sounder is activated from the control panel.

Grade 3 Wiring (Odyssey X & X-B only)

To meet the requirements of EN50131-1 & EN50131-4 additional wiring is required at Grade 3 to monitor the status of the battery, the supply voltage and the integrity of the trigger wire. The two diagrams below show wiring configurations for Texecom control panels, and other manufacturers, you should however ensure that your chosen control panel can support the additional requirements.

Texecom Premier Elite Panel Other Control Panel

Odyssey X & X-B

Optional “Battery First” Connection Method (wired units only)

Hold-Off mode automatically cancels when both the tamper circuit is closed and power is supplied from the control panel. This allows installation engineers to power the unit from the internal battery and fit the outer cover, knowing that the unit cannot self-activate until after power has been supplied from the control panel.



If the tamper circuit is closed and the unit is powered by the battery only, the right LED will flash quickly to signal that the unit cannot self-activate until power has been supplied from the control panel.



Prolonged “battery first” connection without power from the control panel may cause permanent damage to the internal battery. Texecom recommend that the unit is initially powered on battery only for no longer than 24 hours.

Odyssey X Installation Manual

Backlight Wiring Options

The backlight is wired for constant use from the factory; It is also possible to wire the backlight to the control panels outputs for different operation; for example,

•

• the Backlight could be wired to activate with the strobe, or could be wired to a timer so that it only operates at certain times of the day or night. Many options are available depending on the capability of the control equipment.

Installing Multiple Wired Units

The following diagram illustrates how to wire multiple units together:

Remove tamper wire from MSW 2 on first unit and connect to spare core. On second unit connect spare core into MSW 1.

If the first unit is opened it will self-activate and a tamper will be signalled to the control panel. If the second unit is opened both units will selfactivate and a tamper will be signalled to the control panel.

If more than one unit is connected to an installation, the current demand may exceed the rated current output of the control panel. This can be avoided by selecting Low Current (LC) or SCB mode on one or more of the connected units.

Low Current Mode (wired units only)

Low current mode* allows the sounder current draw from the control panel to be reduced whilst maintaining significant alarm volume. To select low current mode, ensure the SAB/SCB jumper is in the SAB position and move the LC jumper to the Low Current on position. Details on current draw can be found in the technical specification (section 4).

* Not available on all models

SCB Mode (wired units only)

In SCB mode the unit draws the majority of its sounding current from the built-in battery rather than from the control panel. Although volume is somewhat reduced, lowering the current demand on the control panel will enable the connection of additional sounder units.

To select SCB Mode, the unit should first be powered from the built-in battery by either using the jumper included on some models or by connecting the red battery wire from the “N/C” (No Connect) terminal to the “Battery +” terminal. The unit will automatically enter Hold-Off mode to disable Self-Activate (S/A) on tamper, this will prevent the unit from self-activating until both the tamper circuit is closed and power is supplied from the control panel. Move the SAB/SCB jumper to the SCB position before the unit is connected to the control panel.



If the tamper circuit is closed and the unit is powered by the battery only, the right LED will flash quickly to signal that the unit cannot self-activate until power has been supplied from the control panel. This



When selecting SCB mode the battery must be connected before power is supplied from the control panel. If a unit is powered from a control panel with SCB mode selected but without the battery connected, the unit will not operate correctly due to the lack of power provided.



The built-in battery will only be partially charged on delivery.

Commissioning

Most control panels have a method of testing the siren and strobe, which should be utilised for final testing. Failing this, simply arm the system and cause an alarm to confirm correct operation. Temporarily disconnect the positive supply to the unit at the control panel to confirm that the sounder self-activates.



The strobe does not self-activate.



Some control panels have an option to select the sounder cut-off time. The unit will sound for either 15 minutes or for the panel cut-off time, whichever is the shorter.

INS627-2 11

Odyssey X Installation Manual

Please note, it cannot be guaranteed that the battery is fully charged on installation. When commissioning, the unit may require to be powered from the control panel for a period of time before the battery is sufficiently charged for self-activation.

Servicing

CAUTION: BEFORE OPENING THE COVER ALLOW AT

LEAST 3 MINUTES AFTER THE LAST STROBE FLASH

Most control panels have a method of testing the siren and strobe, which should be utilised. Failing this, simply arm the system and cause an alarm to confirm correct operation. Temporarily disconnect the positive supply to the unit at the control panel to confirm that the sounder selfactivates.



The strobe does not self-activate.



Some control panels have an option to select the sounder cut-off time. The unit will sound for either 15 minutes or for the panel cut-off time, whichever is the shorter.

For safety reasons if it is necessary to inspect the unit, the Self-Activate (S/A) function should be disabled before the cover is opened or remote power removed. This is achieved by using the unit’s unique patented engineer Hold-Off mode. This is invoked either by activating and deactivating the strobe three times within 30 seconds, or by pressing the



key when in the bell test menu. Most control panels have a method of testing the strobe, which should be utilised. Failing this the strobe can be manually activated by connecting the S (STRB) wire to 0V at the control panel. Hold-Off mode is shown to be active with the tamper circuit secure by the right LED only flashing.

If the tamper circuit is not opened or remote power not removed, then Hold-Off mode will automatically start to cancel after 15 minutes, indicated by the LEDs alternating rapidly to signal that S/A on tamper and remote power loss will be re-enabled within a further 2 minutes.

Once the outer cover is removed the left LED only will flash to indicate that the tamper circuit is open. If remote power is removed, and the tamper circuit is left closed, the right LED with flash rapidly to indicate that the unit is on standby battery power.

When the tamper circuit is closed or remote power re-applied, the LEDs will alternate rapidly, confirming that the tamper circuit is secure, remote power is present and signalling that the self activating S/A function will be re-enabled within 2 minutes, after which the LEDs will alternate slowly to signal normal operation. If the tamper circuit is re-opened or remote power removed within the 2 minute period, then Hold-Off mode will be restored.

Safety

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE BY

QUALIFIED SERVICE PERSONNEL ONLY

All strobes produce hazardous voltages. However, the unit includes dual circuit safety interlocks. When the strobe is de-activated it invokes a final flash to discharge the high voltage. Back-up circuitry guarantees discharge of the high voltage within 3 minutes.

For your own safety be sure to observe the following precautions when installing and servicing the unit:



NEVER remove the cover when the strobe is flashing



WAIT 3 minutes after the strobe stops flashing before removing the cover



AVOID touching the part of the PCB labelled “Warning High Voltage”

12 INS627-2

Odyssey X Installation Manual



The unit incorporates software which disables the strobe whilst the tamper switch remains open. This is a safety feature and cannot be disabled.



The piezo drive produces high voltages when the siren is sounding. While not directly hazardous, these voltages will cause discomfort and should be avoided, particularly when using tools or a ladder.



The piezo transformer TF1 and surrounding components will be hot during and after sounding. While not directly hazardous, contact when hot will cause discomfort and should be avoided, particularly when using tools or a ladder.

Failure to observe the following precautions regarding the batteries could lead to the danger of heating, ignition or explosion:

•

•

•

•

Always observe local regulations

Do not throw into a fire

Do not overcharge

Do Not Short Circuit

•

•

•

•

Replace only with the same type

Do not heat

Do Not Reverse Charge

Do not disassemble
