DTAKIT Installation Manual

The DTAKIT Installation Manual provides comprehensive instructions for setting up, wiring, and configuring a Disabled Toilet Alarm Kit (DTAKIT). This kit ensures compliance with BS8300 standards for emergency assistance alarms in disabled WC installations. The document includes a detailed disabled toilet alarm wiring diagram to aid in proper installation.

Key Components:

1. Controller:
   • Combined power supply and controller with reset button, audible alarm, and large LED indicator.
2. Ceiling Pull Switch:
   • Ceiling-mounted pull cord with high-brightness LED, installed with two G-pulls at different heights for accessibility.
3. Reset Point (DTARP):
   • Reset button with LED to reset calls locally, positioned to be reachable from a wheelchair and the WC.
4. Overdoor Light / Sounder (DTAODL):
   • Triangular lens with an integral sounder to attract attention, installed above the door outside the WC.

Features:

• Integral mains-powered PSU.
• Relay output option.
• Compliance with BS8300 acknowledge feature.
• Includes backup battery.
• Powerful LEDs and sounder.
• Supply healthy LED indicators.
• Reset button enable/disable option.
• Self-test facility.
• Twin G-pulls with LED.
• Reset point with reassurance LED.
• Overdoor light with sounder.

Installation Instructions:

1. First Fix:
   • Requires separate electrical back-boxes for the controller, overdoor light, and reset point.
   • Ceiling pull switch is self-contained with its own surface mounting enclosure.
2. Controller Mains Wiring:
   • Must comply with current IEE Wiring Regulations or relevant national wiring regulations.
   • Connection to the mains supply must be exclusive to this unit, using fixed wiring with 3 core PVC cable (min 0.75mm²), fed from an isolating switched fuse spur at 3 Amps.
3. Low Voltage Wiring:
   • Careful planning is required to segregate low voltage wiring from mains wiring.
   • Use 4 or 6 core security alarm cable (7/0.2 or similar).
4. Disabled Toilet Alarm Wiring Diagram:
   • The wiring diagram details connections between the controller, ceiling pull switch, reset point, and overdoor light/sounder.
   • Separate 2-core cables should be used for all connections, with specific instructions for safety earth connections when using stainless steel front panels or metal back boxes.

Operation:

• In standby mode, the controller ‘on’ LED is lit, and the sounder and LED are off.
• Activation of the ceiling pull switch triggers the controller’s audible sounder and LED, along with the overdoor light/sounder.
• Calls are reset at the reset point within the WC.
• Calls can be reset or acknowledged at the controller, with acknowledged calls returning after 120 seconds if not reset at the reset point.

Battery Life:

• The battery is continuously monitored; replace when the ‘on’ LED is dim or extinguished.
• Use only Alkaline Type A23 12volt battery, typically providing 24 hours standby.

System Expansion:

• Additional devices can be added, such as extra ceiling pulls or an additional overdoor light/sounder.

Important Note:

• The Disabled WC Alarm Kit does not include backboxes, fixings, cables, or tools.
