XQ515

1. Unit will not power up from remote control connection If you have performed initial checks as above and the unit will still not power up it could be because the down input terminal 2 is being held active all the time Remove the terminal block from the rear and check that the Up and Down signals are correct with a meter The front panel button will not work Check whether the front panel button has been programmed to Delay or Disable If it has been programmed to Delay you must hold the button for one second before it will operate If it has been programmed to Disable it will not operate at all The front panel button will not work if the Up amp Down Inputs has been set to Latching or 5 30V dc This is due to the fact that a latching type input will always over ride a momentary switch like the front panel button The unit XQ515uences up but will not XQ515uence down Check the remote control connections using a meter and also the programming of the Up amp Down Inputs If Up amp Down Inputs is set to Separate Up amp Down and you are using a single momentary switch the unit will XQ515uence up but not XQ515uence down The unit starts to XQ515uence up but then immediately XQ515uences down There are two likely causes for this One cause is a Down input that is on all the time and over riding the power up XQ515uence Check the down input with a meter The other cause is that the 28 Over Ride Func menu item has been set to Master when

13. cted to the contact closure inputs at the back of the RT terminals 1 amp 2 In order to work as a 4 bank system the aux relay must be programmed accordingly The Aux Output menu item must be set to A B or C This synchronizes the aux relay to one of the internal triggers used for main banks A B or C The Aux Delay On and Aux Delay Off delay times are then set to position the 4 bank wherever it is required to be in the XQ515uence As an example if an SX1120 RT connected to an XQ515 should turn on last and off first the menu items shown below should be programmed as follows Delay C On 5 Delay C Off 5 Aux Output or 12V Output C Aux or 12V Delay On 10 Aux or 12V Delay Off 0 These delay times are an example Set actual times as required for each application In the above example the turn on delay for Bank C is 5 seconds and the turn on delay for the SX1120 RT is 10 seconds Because the Aux Output is set to Bank C the same internal trigger is used to start both time delays What then happens is that after Bank B turns on there is a 5 second delay before Bank C turns on then there is further 5 second delay before the SX1120 RT turns on the 10 second timer started at the same time as the 5 second timer for Bank C When it is time to power down the SX1120 RT turns off immediately the delay is set to zero then 5 seconds later Bank C turns off In another example if the SX1120 RT should turn on first and off last the programmi

15. h while the unit is powering up or powering down in the same manner as the front panel LED 3 2 4 Confirmation Connection The XQ515 offers two ways to provide confirmation feedback to a central controller a 12V dc output and isolated relay contacts Confirmation tells the controller that the XQ515 has indeed powered up or that it is fully powered down If the 12V de output and the aux relay contacts are not used for any other function you will be free to choose whichever provides the best interface for the application However if one of these outputs is used for another function you will have to use the one that is available To use the 12V dc output for confirmation connect 12V dc output to the positive input of the controller and common to ground The output will be at 12V when all banks are powered up and will be zero when all banks are powered down Program 12V dc Output for Confirm Note that the XQ515 common terminal is shared between the inputs and the 12V dc output If you need relay contacts for confirmation and you are using the aux relay for another function you can connect a small relay between the 12V dc output and common The relay coil current must not be more than 40mA and you must connect a diode such as a 1N4148 or 1N4002 across the relay coil cathode to 12V dc to suppress the back EMF from the coil If you need assistance with this please contact our technical support department 12V dc Output
16. he XQ515 The XQ515 is primarily designed to be used with momentary action switches A momentary switch is a switch where the contacts are closed only while the switch is actually pressed such as a push switch Using momentary switches allows several switches to be connected in parallel so that the XQ515 can be controlled from multiple locations A single push switch would cause the unit to power up on the first press and then power down on the second press A dual momentary switch such as a center biased rocker or two separate push switches one for UP and the other for DOWN can also be used with equal versatility It is up to the installer to choose the configuration Whatever type of switch is used switches with gold contacts are recommended for the best long term reliability Where there are multiple control locations it is advantageous to use the 12V dc output to drive LEDs so that there is an LED at each control location Up to four LEDs running at 10mA each can be powered from the 12V de output Each control location then has an indication of the operational status of the XQ515 regardless of which location last initiated power up or power down The XQ515 also supports latching switches contact closure and applied DC voltage but these types of input cannot be used with multiple control locations they are intended primarily for a small system or for hook up to a central controller The front panel push button will not work with a latch
17. he XQ515 has the option of adding an over ride function for purposes such as providing fire safety over ride to force the system either on or off An over ride is initiated by applying a de voltage of 5 30V or by a sustained contact closure The selection of de voltage or contact closure 1s accomplished during programming This topic is covered fully in the programming section Connect the over ride signal to the over ride input and common In the case of a dc voltage connect the positive wire to over ride and the negative wire to common 3 2 3 External LED Connections The XQ515 is able to drive external LEDs or other signaling devices through its 12V de output which can provide up to 40mA of current External LEDs connected in this way will mimic the red LED on the front panel When connecting LEDs to the 12V output a series resistor is required For example many LEDs work well with 10mA of current so a 1K resistor is usually a good choice If more than one LED is required then use a separate series resistor for each LED In this example four external LEDs could be powered at 10mA each from one XQ515 If more than four LEDs are required it will be necessary to increase the series resistor so that the total load is not more than 40mA Connect each LED anode to 12V dc output through a resistor and the cathodes to common Program the 12V dc Output for LED This causes LEDs connected to the XQ515 to flas
18. he low and high voltage shutdown points are narrowed from their defaults of 90V and 150V this should be done on the first unit only The other units should be left set to 90V and 150V The two restore options should only be enabled if required on the first unit The self test shutdown should be the same for all units If an over ride is required connect it to the last unit and program that unit to accept the type of over ride you need 20 UOIJE90 YIB9 18 J0 SISO MY I 910314 437 1ndinO 9p AZL A sejuauloy sindu umog 3 dn WeJ1BOJd GLSOX YL pue G37 ue sn 9svec l V 8 9 NOW Buiss 35oiudq jeubis s y ms Ale UsWOW Aq pa 0 1Uu0 uu s sS llun lBus 21 7T 910314 WJUOD ndino xnv SLSOX Buiuo1e7 synduj umog 9 dn We1B01d LOSVESI v g 9 NO V inso O JOBJUOO Buiss Soid euBbis 9BeyoA AO1 19 011JU0 yoeqpss UOIPEWUIJUOD 19 0 1140 Je1 U94 Aq p lionuoo uu ls s l un IB6u s 22 p p N se Jas yo Aejaq xny papaan se as uo Aelaq xny 9 40 g Y 1ndino xny G31 1ndinO Op AZ A sejuauoy sinduj umog dn WeIBOld m3r4 S SOX LY O2LLXS 9SvEec D U9HAS UO V ZL9OGVECI v g 9 NOV JOISISOY My L pue q317 paunbay Jl YOUMS UOIJEWUIJUOD Ny Ayeyuswoy Aejay xny Buisn us s s papuedx3 23 uuljuoo ndino xnv p p N se 195 HO Ael q AZ p p N se jas uO e q AZ 9 40 g y 1ndinO
