Inputs to the remote devices are wired through the panel's connector. Wire connections are provided for the smoke detector (model HM-560B), remote emergency pull station, security devices, intercom, and wireless pendant receiver. All devices wired to the inputs are supervised by the panel.

WIRING:

The Host Panel connects to the Master Console and power supply with a 2 pair wire. Up to 51 Host Panels can connect to the same data cable, see wire design guide: 390-108. For ease of installation and maintenance, the Host panel mates with the prewired connector, Model HM-582.

INDICATORS:

A LED will flash green to indicate proper system operation via a built-in self test feature. A red LED indicates when an emergency call is initiated and verified by the console. A second red LED indicates the assurance period is active and will extinguish when the check-in button is pressed.  To simplify installation and service, both red LED's blink every 30 seconds to indicate proper panel operation without data communication to the console.

EMERGENCY CALL:

The Host Panel is equipped with a 45" nylon pull cord. The LED indicator will glow red when the emergency call switch is operated and verified by the console.

PANEL COLOR:

The standard HM-527 has an off-white plate with a beige colored panel overlay. The panel overlay can be special ordered with custom colors or artwork. Contact Sentry for additional information.

TERMINATIONS:

RESIDENT ASSURANCE:

The HM-527 host panel will include a Check-In pushbutton and assurance LED indicator. The LED will light to indicate the assurance period is activated. When the resident presses the Check-In button, the indicator will go off until the next assurance period. If this button has not been operated by the end of the assurance period, the apartment number will be displayed on an assurance list at the master console.

The Check-In button is also used to reactivate an apartment from the vacation mode.

REMOTE EMERGENCY CALL OPTION:

OPTIONS TO REV F PANEL:

Latest version host panel HM-527 Rev F provides an option for two types of smoke detectors.  Type "A" for 6 wire smoke detector that has a signal and ground lead for tandem smoke detector operation.  Type "B" for commercial 4-wire smoke detectors with integral sounders that uses reverse polarity on the power leads for tandem operation.  Second option provides a End Of Line resistor across the auxiliary input when the input is not used.  Both options are field selectable through dip switch settings.

INSTALLATION:

The Host Panel is wall mounted with center up to 48" above finished floor in an unobstructed location. The electrical box should be 4" square by 2" deep, with a ½" raise, two gang plaster ring. The nylon pull cord will extend to within 2" above finished floor. When the panels are mounted lower on the wall, the installer should tie another knot in the cord at 2" above the floor, and cut off the excess cord.
