MATC-Central is the central unit for the centralized control of emergency lamps fitted
with MAT2 modules. The central unit uses a DALI like (Digital Addressable
Lighting Interface) communications protocol.
Under the DALI protocol, (nonpolarized) 2-pole parallel connection must be used
with a maximum distance of 300 m between the central unit and the last appliance.
The central unit controls up to 128 lamps divided into 2 groups.
Each of the 2 groups, A and B, can control up to 64 appliances.
The groups are assigned on the individual MAT2 modules manually, setting the
jumper (before supplying the modules with power!) to either option: A or B, as needed.
The central unit can be connected to either a panel thermal matrix printer or a PC
through specially designed interface modules (MATC-Interface).
FEATURES
The central unit searches for and automatically memorizes all the emergency lamps
(fitted with MAT2 modules).
The central unit searches for the identification number of the lamp, finds the group
the lamp belongs to (A or B, preset through a bond on the MAT2 module before
power is supplied) and assigns a number ranging from 1 to 128.
After all the installed lamps have been located and memorized, lamp functionality
and battery life tests can be performed.
The central unit makes self-diagnoses in the automatic or manual mode..
MANUAL MODE
The user menu of the central unit can be accessed to:
- perform the tests of every single lamp manually
- obtain information on the state of the lamps
- obtain information on the outcome of the tests performed in the
automatic mode
- set the starting time of the tests
- adjust the time interval of the battery tests
- localize the lamps
- print reports.
THERMAL MATRIX PRINTER + MATC-INTERFACE
Using the specially designed MATC Interface module allows a panel thermal matrix
printer to be connected, so that reports on the performed tests can be printed. Up to
5 Printer Modules can be connected to one central unit, or up to 5 central units can
be connected to one printer interface.
PC + MATC-INTERFACE
Using the specially designed MATC Interface module allows the central unit to be
connected to a PC, so that the whole system can be managed via software.
Up to 32 MAIN units can be connected, for a total of 4,096 appliances in one system.
AUTOMATIC MODE
Lamp test
A lamp lighting test (lasting approximately 15 seconds) is performed every seven
days. Both the day and the time of the test - which will be performed simultaneously
for all the lamps of a group - can be programmed.
Battery test
With a time interval set to 1 to 52 weeks, a range test is performed simultaneously
for all the lamps of a group. The duration of the test - 1 or 3 hours - must have been
set on the MAT2 module through the specially designed bond..
