Read the full technical description

VIG-BSKIT converts the VIG1-24 and VIG1-72 control panels from EN to BS operation. It includes one main control card. Conversion involves replacing the applicable main control and loop processor cards and changing the front-panel indication labels.

The conversion-kit main control card fits socket P1, card 0, on the backplane. The existing 20-way and 40-way ribbon cables transfer to the replacement card and are secured by the backplane clamp. Remove the replacement card's battery insulation sleeve or disc before fitting it. Isolate the mains supply and disconnect the panel batteries before starting the conversion.

During conversion, the Commission/Warning label covers the Disablement, Test and Delay indication area. A blank label covers the Sounder indication. Once the replacement cards and labels are fitted, reconnect the supplies and test the panel's operation.

For a panel with more than one fitted loop card, VIG-LPC-V3+ is the additional loop processor card used during conversion.

FAQs

What is VIG-BSKIT used for?

VIG-BSKIT converts a VIG1-24 or VIG1-72 control panel from EN to BS operation. It includes one main control card. The conversion replaces the applicable control and loop processor cards and changes the front-panel indications. The replacement MCC fits P1, card 0, on the existing backplane and takes the panel's ribbon connections. For a panel with more than one fitted loop card, VIG-LPC-V3+ is the additional loop processor card used as part of the conversion.

Which panels does VIG-BSKIT convert?

VIG-BSKIT converts a VIG1-24 or VIG1-72 control panel from EN to BS operation. Conversion includes replacing the applicable control and loop processor cards and adapting the front-panel indications. The main control card occupies P1, card 0, on the existing backplane, with the panel's ribbon cables transferred to it. The Commission/Warning label covers the Disablement, Test and Delay indication area. A blank label covers the Sounder indication. The converted panel is tested after power is restored.

Which card is used for additional loops during conversion?

VIG-LPC-V3+ is the additional loop processor card for conversion of a control panel with more than one fitted loop card. The VIG-BSKIT conversion applies to VIG1-24 and VIG1-72 panels and changes them from EN to BS operation. It also replaces the main control card and changes the front-panel indication labels. The replacement MCC uses the existing backplane and ribbon connections. After the applicable cards and labels are fitted, power is restored and the panel is tested.

How does the conversion-kit MCC connect to the panel?

The replacement main control card fits socket P1, card 0, on the backplane. The panel's existing 20-way and 40-way ribbon cables are disconnected from the old MCC and reconnected to the replacement, then secured beneath the backplane clamp. Before the replacement MCC is fitted, its battery insulation sleeve or disc is removed. The mains and battery supplies are disconnected for the conversion work. After the cards and labels are fitted, the supplies are restored and operation is tested.

What changes are made to the panel indicators?

The Commission/Warning label covers the existing Disablement, Test and Delay indication area, adapting those labels for BS operation. A blank label covers the Sounder indication. These changes accompany the replacement of the applicable main control and loop processor cards during the VIG-BSKIT conversion. The conversion also transfers the existing 20-way and 40-way ribbon cables to the replacement MCC. After the cards and labels have been fitted and the mains and battery supplies restored, the panel's operation is tested.
