The SAR2 equipment consists of the SAR20 board, MIC20 board, interconnection cable
provided with RJ45 connectors and the battery.

The SAR20 board is the main board and it is located, together with the battery, inside the
inspection box cover.

The MIC20 board should be located at the back of the car-operating panel. It is joined to
the SAR20 board via the J2 connector through the cable provided with RJ45 connectors.
It includes the microphone for communication. It has two connectors for the elements,
which are connected to it: the J3 and the J4. In the J3 connector, the alarm push button,
the two service lights and the end-of-alarm key (or another element) are joined to
complete the alarm. The Speaker is connected in the J4 connector.

Fig. 2 SAR2 wiring in the inspection box and in the car operating panel

The pre-wired inspection box is supplied with the SAR20 board, the siren (J4) and the
battery (J3) fitted, wired and tested.

The wiring of the SAR20 board in the inspection box consists of:
A telephone line: it arrives by the trailing cable to the TBC30 board and to the J5
connector together with the earth.
Intercom: if this has been ordered, it comes from the machine room, like the
telephone line.

SAR2 v17 - Basic Installation Manual 5

Carlos Silva ISAR2 Rev. 0 EN 06/10/2005

The under-car alarm push button and the inspection box alarm push button are in
parallel and they are wired to the input of the ROOF push button for initiating alarm
calls not filtered by the controller status.
MultiSAR Bus: if this has been ordered, 3 conductors are provided in the trailing cable
to interconnect with other SAR2s, which share the same telephone line.
HIDRA Bus: connected to the TBC30 for the equipment to communicate with the
HIDRAsystem controller. The controller informs the SAR2 for filtering.
Siren push button: if there is a siren push button separate from the alarm push
button, it is connected to the cable which goes to the car operating panel.
Emergency light: connected to the emergency car light.
230Vac (Signal): wired to the car light in the TBC30. This voltage is not used to
charge the battery or power the SAR; it is only used for the emergency light
monitoring.

1 Configuration of the SAR2 board

Configuration of the SAR2 board consists of two processes, configuration of the jumpers
(JP1 to JP5) and the selector (S1).

To modify the configuration, the power must be disconnected from

L the board by unplugging the J7 connector. Once it is completed,
plug the J7 connector again.

See the following table for configuring the jumpers. The typical configuration when the
equipment is to be installed in an inspection box and it does not share a telephone line
with other SAR equipment is: JP1 placed, JP2 up, JP3 left, JP4 and JP5 extracted.

This section details the steps to be followed to check the final installation of the SAR2
equipment.

PRELIMINARY POINTS

Before starting any work with the SAR2 alarm equipment, the following points should be
checked:

An analogue telephone line is operative on the end terminals of the SAR2 J5

connector (50VDC approx.).
The microphone-board and the car speaker are installed and connected to the
SAR2 via the appropriate cable.
The under-car alarm push button is placed and its loom fixed.
The machine room intercom is installed and connected (if it is required).
The SAR2 DL1 led is ON.
The SAR2 DL2 led is FLASHING.
The SAR2 DL3 led is ON.
The car emergency light is OFF.
The End-of-Alarm contact is open. If it is kept closed, a repetitive beep is heard
through the car speaker, which stops when the contact is opened.

Step ONE Programming the SAR2

Establish a communication with the SAR2 through one of the following

possibilities:

o With a mobile phone 1 dialling the telephone number to which the SAR2 is
connected.
o Pick up the intercom (telephone handset) in the machine room.
o Connect a telephone handset1 to terminals 1 and 2 of J6 and pick up it.

the green light starts to flash and you hear (through the car speaker) the message
CALLING, PLEASE WAIT indicating that the call is in progress.

Reception of an alarm call

The call made by the SAR2 will be received on the telephone number which was
configured in Step ONE.

After pick up the called telephone to answer the alarm, press 0 within 15sec (approx.),
the green light remains fixed and the conversation can take place between the car and
the telephone.

End the connection (hang up)

To end the communication, from the called telephone, the order will be sent to the SAR2
so that it hangs up via the command 0 # .

Disconnect the J9 connector from the SAR2 board and check that the car emergency light
is lit on.

Connect the J9 connector again.

DANGER!!! This connector has high voltage: 230Vac

3 Configuration of the definitive telephone numbers

If the tests carried out have been passed, it may be considered that the installation is
correct and that all that remains is to configure the definitive values that will determine
the operation of the SAR2 equipment: activation of the voice synthesizer in the car, rings
before pick up, type of dialling, test call, etc.

SAR2 v17 - Basic Installation Manual 9

Carlos Silva ISAR2 Rev. 0 EN 06/10/2005

This definitive configuration may be carried out automatically if you have the SARlink
software or it may be performed manually.

If you have SARlink, the installation process of the SAR2 equipment may be taken as
completed at this point, with its remote configuration to be performed.

If the definitive configuration has to be performed manually, the following steps indicate
the operations to take place to parameterise the equipment to bring it into line with the
EN81-28:2003 standard. The steps are:

Step ONE Collecting information

Obtain the required data

Before starting the definitive configuration process it is advisable to have available all the
values to be configured. The following table shows the minimum parameters to be
configured. The empty column can be used to note down the values.

Parameter Value to be configured EN81-28 Description

1 # Identifier
2 1 # Alarm phone number #1
2 2 # Alarm phone number #2
2 3 # Alarm phone number #3
2 4 # Alarm phone number #4
2 5 # Roof and undercar phone number
2 6 # Test call phone number #1
2 7 # Test call phone number #2
3 2 # 4 Operating Mode
3 6 # 3 Days to next test call
5 # Modify access code (CAM)

If you do not have 4 different alarm telephone numbers, it is advisable to repeat them
i so that parameters 21 to 24 are configured.
The roof and undercar alarm telephone is designed to be configured with the
telephone number of the maintenance company (parameter 25).
If you do not have 2 different test call telephone numbers, it is advisable to configure
the same number in both parameters (26 and 27).
For compliance with the EN81-28, the operating mode should be configured to 4 and
the next test call at 3 (days) maximum (parameters 32 and 36 respectively).
The CAM access code is initially 0000 and may be changed for any 4-number code
(parameter 5). If you forget this code, the SAR2 equipment may not be reconfigured
afterwards.

Step TWO Programming the Parameters

Establishing communication with the SAR2 via one of the various

possibilities (see step 1 in section 2).

N If the configuration process is not carried out via the intercom but takes place via
a phone call, just before 3 minutes of communication, SAR2 generates beeps
indicating that the time limit of the communication is approaching. Press the 0-key
on the phone keypad to continue for another 3 minutes. This process should be
carried out every 3 minutes (see parameter 35).

SAR2 v17 - Basic Installation Manual 10

Carlos Silva ISAR2 Rev. 0 EN 06/10/2005

Enter the CAM code (see Step 2 in section 2).

Program the parameters of the previous table with the values noted down,
following the operations used to program the telephone number of the tests.

Check the CAM code if the initial value has been modified in this
communication. A mistake during the change process may leave the SAR2
equipment inaccessible for further actions. To consult the CAM:

Command SAR says

5 <Number1 Number2 Number3 Number4>

If the value indicated by the SAR2 is not the required value, re-program
parameter 5 and check its value again.

End the connection (hang up) ( 0 # )

The SAR2 equipment has more parameters which complete the configuration of its
operation but which have not been included in the list of this section, since its default
values are considered valid for most situations.

4 Configuration of Remaining Parameters

The APPENDIX 1 shows all the manual commands for the SAR2 equipment. You can use
these parameters to make the final adjustments to the equipment operations to suit the
requirements of the company maintaining/receiving it. Revise the list of parameters
shown in the table in Appendix 1 and determine whether there are parameters, which
should be modified, and the values to be configured. To obtain more detailed
information on the different operations, consult the SAR2 - Operation Manual.

5 Voice Synthesiser

Since the SAR2 equipment is connected to the communication bus of a HIDRAsystem

controller, it has the capacity to generate voice messages through the speaker located in
the car, as if it were a car voice synthesizer, for informing passengers about the position
and status of the lift.

If this function is required, either to add features to the lift or for compliance with the
EN81-70, this function may be activated modifying the parameter 40.

To activate the car voice synthesis, establish a communication with the SAR, enter the
CAM access code (parameter 91), and modify the parameter so that:

Command SAR says Command SAR says Repeat SAR says

4 0 # <DIAL> 1 # <REPEAT> 1 # <VALID>

and hang up ( 0 # ).

7 APPENDIX 2 (Table of EN627 codes generated by the SAR)

As well as its function as alarm equipment and transmission equipment, the SAR2 also
acts as data registration equipment. To do this, it has a log record in which it stores the
data relating to the alarm process and the data received from the HIDRA controller,
adding the date and time of the event. This data, up to a total of 38 items, are encoded
according to the EN627 standard criterion, allows you to monitor relevant events,
incidents or breakdowns occurring in the lift.

Incidents or breakdowns in the lift are shown in the EN627 code table in the
documentation provided with the HIDRAsystem controller.

Similarly, the events relating to the SAR2 equipment are also recorded and their meaning
is indicated in the following table:
