1.3. General description
Tapsa Control is based on Teknoware’s modular Tapsa –central battery unit family for emergency
lighting. In normal conditions the central unit takes its power from the 230VAC mains supply
recharging the batteries and supplying the maintained luminaire groups with 230VAC voltage. In the
case when the mains supply disappears or drops below 180VAC, the unit switches itself to emergency
mode. Then the supply is taken from the 24VDC batteries and converted to 230VDC, which is
supplied to both maintained and non-maintained luminaire groups. The supply is taken from the
batteries as long as the net supply remains down or until the battery voltage drops to the deep
discharge protection level of 19,2V.
The central unit can supply up to 8 lighting group, depending on the type. The maximum load for each
group is 120W. Each group can be connected independently as maintained or non-maintained.
In addition to the standard operations described above, the Control-module of the central unit has the
following testing and reporting features:
- addressed testing of the luminaires and battery
- battery capacity testing
- external cabling as in a standard central battery unit. No separate data cabling.
- self-learning system; luminaires can be added or removed afterwards
- indicates the address of the faulty luminaire by LED and group number
- short operation test once a day and full duration test twice a year
- tests can be started also manually
- testing and reporting optionally also with a GSM phone
- printed report of the tests by integrated printer (=diary)
- the report includes the date of testing, possible faulty luminaires, test duration and the
condition of the batteries
- possibility for optional connection to external data network, for example LON
The batteries are located in a separate container according to EN 50171.
All operations regarding the usage of the central unit can be performed from the control panel of it.
Control panel has also LEDs for the indication of the status of the central unit and tests. The
operations of the panel are described in the appendix 1.

2. Operational description
The Tapsa-Control central unit is divided to two operational modules: Central-module and Controlmodule, both in the same central unit.
2.1. Central-module
2.1.1. The purpose of the central-module
The function of the central-module in normal mode is to recharge the batteries and supply the
maintained emergency lighting groups. During the mains voltage breakdown the central unit supplies
both maintained and non-maintained emergency lighting groups with the energy from the batteries.
The descriptions of the indicator LEDs in the front panel are given in the appendix 1.
2.1.2. Outputs
The output of the Tapsa-Control central unit is divided to max 8 groups. Each of them can be
connected to maintained or non-maintained operation by the ”Mode” –connectors as follows:
”Mode” –connection closed: maintained
”Mode” –connection open: non-maintained
2.1.3. Recharging of the batteries
7
After the mains voltage breakdown the batteries are first recharged with a constant current (0.1c) until
the voltage reaches 28.8V. After this there is a cyclic charge period where the recharging voltage is
changed between 28.8V and 27.0V in the cycles of 4 minutes. These recharging modes last totally 12
hours after which the recharging is continued in a trickle charge mode where the battery voltage is
maintained in 27.0V.
Display:
Mains use -LED is on
Recharging -LED is on when the battery voltage is 27V±0.3V, otherwise it is blinking
2.1.4. Limits of the mains voltage
When the mans voltage decreases below 180V (still being over 100V), the central unit turns to
emergency mode showing the following display.
Display:
Mains use –LED is blinking
Emergency mode -LED is on
When the mains voltage drops below 100 V, the central unit turns to emergency mode showing the
following display.
Display:

2.1.6. Alarm relay outputs
Internal fault alarm
Operation alarm
- Gives an alarm when an internal fault has been detected.
- Gives an alarm when the central unit is in emergency mode.
2.2 Control-module
The control-module performs periodically automatic tests for luminaries and batteries.
The descriptions of the indicator-LEDs are shown in the Appendix 1.
2.2.1. Test of luminaries
The testing of each luminaire is performed automatically once a day at 24.00 o’clock. The test runs as
follows:
The central unit switches to emergency mode and the “luminaire test” –LED is on during the test. As
the test proceeds, the group number in the display runs forward and when an operating luminaire is
detected, the corresponding LED turns on. If there is a faulty luminaire detected, the program checks it
again before it accepts the situation. When all groups are tested, the program returns to normal mode.
If there is a faulty luminaire detected, the corresponding LED remains blinking when the corresponding
group number is in the display. Also the “External fault” –LED and the relay output are on. LEDs which
indicate luminaries which are ok, are on continuously. The report is printed after the test, if there is a
new fault detected.
Luminaire test can be started also manually by pressing the “Luminaire test” –button shortly.
2.2.2. Battery test
The battery duration test is performed automatically twice a year, on Sunday night 24.00 on weeks 26
and 52
During the battery duration test all emergency luminaries are on and the operation of each of them is
checked after each one minute.
Display:
9
Battery test running –LED is on
Luminaire test –LED is on once a minute when the luminaires are tested.
If the specified duration is reached, the test is still continued for ½ hour to get more information of the
capacity of the batteries. If the specified duration is not achieved, the test is discontinued and an alarm
is given.
Display:
Battery test running –LED is blinking
External fault –LED is on
If the luminaire test is running during the stopping of the test, it will be completed though. The result of
the battery duration test is printed to all reports during 30 days after the test.
Possible battery fault alarm can be reset by pressing the “Battery test” -push button approx. 2
seconds. After the battery replacement the system must always be reconfigured, so that the system
knows that battery has been replaced. If the battery fault alarm is just reset, but the batteries are not
replaced, there will be a note on that in the next printout (if the panel is fitted with printer) of the
luminaire test.
Battery test can be started manually by pressing the “Battery test” -push button approx. 2 seconds.
LED No.1 and a dot on the number display are turned on. The dot indicates that the system is
prepared for the battery test. If the push-buttons are not touched, the battery test starts after approx.
40 seconds.
2.2.3. Alarm relay outputs
When the “External fault” –LED is on, the fault alarm relay contact operates.
When the battery test or luminaire test is running, the operation alarm relay contact operates.
2.2.4. Operation during mains voltage breakdown
When a mains voltage breakdown occurs, the central unit switches to emergency mode. The system
measures the length of the breakdown, and if it exceeds the specified battery duration time all LEDs of
the control-module are switched off to save battery capacity. Only the dot at the number display
remains blinking. The display returns to normal operation once the mains voltage recovers or if one of
the push-buttons are pressed.
2.3. Optional features
2.3.1. Printer
Tapsa Control central unit can be fitted with a printer, which automatically prints the reports in the following
cases:
- When a new fault is detected for the first time
- Once a month
The printout of the result of the last test can also be taken manually by pressing the “Print” pushbutton.
This report can be attached to the diary of the central unit as a proof of the performed test.
2.3.2. Basic Central Monitoring Unit
10
Teknoware basic central monitoring unit can be used to monitor the basic status of up to 9 Tapsa Control
panels.
The following operations can be made from the monitoring unit:
- Luminaire test
- Battery test
- Remote control to battery mode
The following information can be seen from the monitoring unit
- The basic status of each panel (normal mode / emergency mode)
- External fault of each panel (one or more failed luminaires)
- Internal fault of each panel (failed battery test or other abnormal situation)
The basic monitoring system shows addressed (1…9) information from each panel, but not from each
luminaire. In a case of luminaire failure, the indication is given on which Tapsa Control panel the luminaire
is connected. The detailed address can then be seen from the corresponding Tapsa Control panel.
2.3.3. LON based Central Monitoring Unit using Lonix COBA Software
With LON based central monitoring the entire emergency lighting system can be controlled and monitored
from a single point. Standard personal computer, which is fitted with a LON-connection and Lonix COBA
software, is used as user'
s interface. From the user'
s interface it is possible to monitor the status of the
complete system and start necessary tests either manually or automatically. The status information of the
luminaires and central battery units is available with individual addresses and the exact location of the
units is shown on the map view. Up to 150 Tapsa Control panels can be fitted to the same network.
Central monitoring system allows the user to monitor the status of the system and start the necessary
tests. However, the actual emergency mode operation of the central battery units during a mains supply
failure is entirely independent on the LON network.
11
In the data transmission the monitoring system utilizes an open architecture LON network. As a core of the
software is the COBA building management software developed by Lonix. Due to this the Teknoware
central monitoring system can be fully integrated to the building management systems in those buildings
where COBA is already used. Alternatively the central monitoring can be built as a standalone system.
2.3.4. Remote control by a GSM-phone
The control-module can be fitted with a GSM-modem, which allows a wireless remote control of the
testing. The central unit sends the result of the test as an SMS-message to a pre-selected phone number.
The results of the automatic tests are sent if a new fault is detected. When the fault indication has been
sent to the GSM-phone, the fault indication LED remains on at the display of the central unit. It can be
reset by pressing “Fault reset” –push-button.
2.3.5. Connection to building automation network
The Control-module has a standard RS232 serial port (1200 baud), which accepts the connection to an
external data network (for example EIB, LON, Ethernet) via a suitable connection module. It is possible to
transmit the test reports and make the settings of the module through the network.
For LON Teknoware can supply a ready installed module with required network variable data.
2.3.6. Usage via an external PC
When the central unit is connected to the HyperTerminal of the PC, the operations of the Control module
can also be used from the PC’s keyboard.
’!’ - the last test report is printed
’#’ - the luminaire test is performed and test report printed
’%’ – Control-module sends the current settings to the screen and new settings can be done
Settings are of mode: yyyy/wk/dd/hh: min/battery duration/autotest/autoprint
i.e. 2002/31/4/07:42/2/1/1:
Year=2002 / week=31 / day 4(Thursday) / time 07:42 / battery duration 2x30min / auto test ON / auto print
ON
3. Designing of the system
The data between the Tapsa-Control central unit and the luminaires connected to it is transferred via
the power supply wires of the luminaires, which means that there are no separate data cabling needed
required. This means that the wiring between the central unit and the emergency luminaires does not
differ from an ordinary system. Though, the following points shall be taken into account when
designing the system.
- The emergency luminaries shall be of Teknoware type which have a letter “K” in the end of their type
code. These luminaries are fitted with a data transfer unit which is needed for the data transmission
between the luminaries and central.
- Each luminaire shall have the address number 1…12 set by the DIP-switches. The addresses can be
chosen freely as long as there are no same addresses in the same lighting group. This coding can be
pre-set by manufacturer, if the list of the addresses is given when ordering the luminaires (group No. /
Luminaire No.). In this case the address No. is marked to each luminaire.
4. Installation of the system
12
Only a skilled person may perform operations related to installation, initial settings and
maintenance of the system.
The cabling is identical to a standard emergency lighting system, but when installing the luminaires it
must be taken care that each luminaire in the same group has a different address number (1…12).
Normally the addresses are pre-set to the luminaires already by the manufacturer and the address is
marked to each luminaire. If necessary, the address of a luminaire can be changed by changing the
settings of the DIP-switch which is located at the data transfer unit inside the luminaire. There are
instructions for the settings of the switch on the label of the unit.
Before beginning of the installation, the mains switch and battery fuse of the central shall be set to 0position. The batteries are installed in the separate battery container and they are connected in series
(2x12V) to the battery cables + and -. The temperature sensor of the batteries shall be located so that
it is close the surface of them, preferably between the batteries. Double-check the correct polarity of
the batteries before connection. Connect the mains supply to the connectors L, PE and N. Next
connect the lighting groups (see appendix 4, external wiring). The output groups are connected from
the “Mode” connectors as maintained or non-maintained groups as follows.
”Mode” –connection closed: maintained group
”Mode” –connection open: non-maintained group
The wiring of remote alarm and remote control switch is connected if they are included to the
installation.
5. Comissioning
Only a skilled person may perform operations related to installation, initial settings and
maintenance of the system.
5.1. Central-Module
Each Tapsa-Control central and Teknoware luminaries are tested for electrical safety according to the
Low Voltage Directive by manufacturer. If there is an insulation resistance test made for the external
wiring of the system, the input and outputs of the Tapsa-Control central shall be short-circuited.
When the necessary installations and inspections are made, turn the battery switch (automatic fuse) to
position I and turn the mains voltage on from the mains switch.
Display:
“Recharging” –LED is blinking
“Mains use” –LED is on

5.1.1. Setting the charging current
Charging current is set to minimum value as the factory setting.
During comissioning the charging current shall be set as follows:
TK2301C…TK2308C:
Set the current from the DIP -switch of the charging module TS2. The charging current shall be always
set according to the ampere hour value (Ah) of the batteries. If the value is incorrectly set, the batteries
may get damaged. When all the switches are in OFF -position, the charging current is set for 100Ah
batteries.

5.2. Control-module:
The control module does not require programming, but after starting the central-module the automatic
configuration of the control-module is started by pressing shortly the “Luminaire test” –push button.
During the automatic configuration the control-module learns the luminaries which are connected to
the system.
Before the configuration has been performed, the control-module gives the following display:
Display:
Big ” C” blinking on the 7 seg-display (the unit is not configured)
”External fault” -LED is on
5.2.1. Configuration
Before the configuration it is advisable to still check that all luminaries are actually working, as the
configuration teaches this situation to the control-module. The learned configuration is used as a
reference in all tests which take place later.
The correctness of the configuration can be also verified afterwards by checking that the amount of
luminaries that the control-module indicates for each group corresponds the actual amount of the
luminaries in the same group. If some of the luminaries is faulty during the configuration, this luminaire
is not recognised and thus left outside the automatic testing. If two or more luminaries in the same
group have the same address number, considers the control-module these as a single luminaire and
detects the fault only when both are faulty.
Configuration is started by pressing the “Luminaire test” -push button shortly. Configuration can last
several minutes as the assembly of each group is checked few times before accepting it.
Display:
“Luminaire Test” -LED is blinking
“External fault” -LED is blinking
As the configuration process proceeds, the group number on the display increases and when a
luminaire is detected, the corresponding LED turns on. The configuration can not be interrupted once
it has been started.
5.2.3. Re-configuration
If there are luminaries added of removed in the system or generally any modifications made to the
installation, the control-module must be always re-configured. Re-configuration can be started by
pressing the “Luminaire Test” –push button 5 seconds. During the re-configuration the control-module
learns the new set-up of the luminaires. Also now it must be checked that all luminaries are actually
operating before starting of the configuration.
5.3. Normal mode
When the central has configured itself, it turns to normal mode where the status of the each
luminaire group is rotated on the display panel. The status of each group is displayed about 3
seconds.
5.4. Setting of the internal clock
15
The internal clock setting mode is started by pressing the “Battery Test” –push button about 2 seconds
after which the LED No. 1 turns on and there is a dot displayed on the number display (if no buttons is
touched within 40 seconds, the battery test starts). Now, on the display there is a number which
indicates decades of the year (i.e. 2006). The number can be changed by pressing the “Luminaire
Test” –push button until the reading is correct. When the number is correct it is accepted by pressing
the “Browse” –push button. Now the LED 2. turns on and the last digit of the year (i.e. 2002) can be set
again by “Luminaire Test” –push button and accepted by “Browse” –push button. This is continued
until all settings are correct.
The indications of the LEDs during the clock setting:
1.LED – decades of the year number (i.e. 2006)
2.LED – last digit of the year number (i.e. 2006)
3.LED – first digit of the week number (i.e. 37)
4.LED – last digit of the week number (i.e. 37)
5.LED – day : mon=1, tue=2, wed=3, thu=4, fri=5, sat=6, sun=7
6.LED – first digit of hours (i.e. 13:45)
7.LED – last digit of hours (i.e. 13:45)
8.LED – first digit of minutes (i.e. 13:45)
9.LED – last digit of minutes (i.e. 13:45)
10.LED – specified emergency mode duration (reading x 30min, 30min … 240min)
11.LED – 0 = luminaire test only manually, 1 = luminaire test automatically every night at 24:00
12.LED – 0 = printing of report only manually, 1= printing of report after the test if a new fault has been
detected.
Note: If you notice that you have made a mistake with the settings, you can return to the start by
pressing the “Battery Test” -push button 2 seconds, after which you can go to the faulty point using
the “Browse” –button and make the correction. If no buttons is touched, the program returns to normal
mode after 40 seconds. Settings can be checked by going to settings-mode by the “Battery Test” –
button and browsing using the “Browse” –button.
6. Using the basic functions
16
The Tapsa-Control central battery unit is divided to two operational modules:
- Central-module, which takes care of the standard emergency lighting operations, such as
recharging of the batteries and supplying the lighting groups.
- Control-module, which takes care of the automatic testing operations
6.1. Central-Module
After the installation and configuration there are no other operations required from the user except
checking of the indicator-LEDs (LH side LED column) regularly. In normal mode with the mains
voltage on, are the “Mains Use” and “Recharging” –LEDs on. More specific explanations of the LEDs
are in the appendix 1.
6.2. Control-Module
With basic settings the Control-Module performs the following operations for the luminaries and
batteries automatically:
- Testing of each luminaire once a day
- Testing of the battery duration in emergency mode twice a year
If everything is ok, the “External Fault” –LED is not on
If there is any fault detected in the tests, the “External Fault” –LED remains on. If there is a battery
fault, the “Battery Test Running” -LED is blinking. If there is a luminaire fault, the corresponding LED
is blinking when the number of the group in case is in the number display. The group number display
can be browsed by the “Browse” –button.
Both the luminaire test and battery test can be also started manually as follows:
Luminaire test: Press the luminaire test button until the test starts. When the test has started, the
“Luminaire Test Running” –LED is continuously on and the number display shows the
number of the group which is currently tested. When the test is finished, the
“Luminaire Test Running” –LED turns off and the result of the test can be seen from
the display panel.
Battery test:
Press the “Battery Test” –button approx. 2 seconds until the LED 1 and dot on the
number display turn on. The battery test starts after 40 seconds delay unless any of
the push-buttons is touched. When the battery test starts, the “Battery Test Running”
–LED turns on. If the specified duration is not reached remains the “External Fault” –
LED on and the “Battery Test Running” –LED blinking. This alarm can be reset by
pressing the “Battery Test” –button 2 seconds.
Note. The battery test fully discharges the batteries and the maximum duration of it is 30 min over the
specified emergency mode duration. The test can be interrupted by pressing the ”Battery Test” –button
again.

When fitted, the printer prints the status report of the system automatically once a month and when a
new fault has been detected. The printout of the status after the last test can be also started manually
by pressing the ”Print” –button. The report of the test can be attached to the diary of the central as a
proof of a performed test.
7. Maintenance
In addition to the checks and inspections there is no regular maintenance required for the central
battery unit other than changing the batteries when the specified emergency mode duration is no
longer achieved. The luminaries shall have their light sources replaced once they have reached the
end of their lifetime.
Only a skilled person may perform such maintenance operations which require opening the
casing of the central or the battery container.
7.1. Replacing the batteries
The batteries are replaced as follows:
- Remove the cover of the central unit
- Turn the battery fuse switch F1 to position 0
- Turn the mains switch S1 to position 0 (the display turns off)
- Remove the cover of the battery container
- Disconnect the battery cables
- Replace the batteries with new ones
- Place the battery temperature sensor between the batteries
- Connect the battery cables (double-check the polarity and insulation distances)
- Install the cover of the battery container
- Turn the battery fuse switch F1 to position 1
- Install the cover of the central
- Turn the mains switch to position 1
- Configure the system as described in point 5.2.1. (If the configuration interrupts by itself,
check the charge level of the batteries)
- Set the clock as described in point 5.4.
- Print the report and check that the central remains in normal mode according to the point
5.3.
8. Disposal
When removing the central system and its components from usage, note the following points in the
destruction of them:
Batteries and fluorescent lamps are hazardous waste. Metal parts shall be recycled as steel or
aluminium waste. Wires, connectors and circuit boards are considered as electronics waste. Plastic
parts shall be recycled according to the material markings of them.

Contacts are shown as in normal mode.
Note! Switching the mains voltage off from the mains switch does remove the voltage from the
system, as the battery is still supplying the luminaire groups. Switching off also the battery fuse switch
F1 makes the complete unit voltage free.
Connectors 12-13 shall be connected together if the remote control switch is not in use.
If there is requested a single common alarm output from the central unit, the connectors for the
internal and external alarm can be connected parallel.
When the “Mode” –connection of the power module TS89401 is closed, is the lighting group that it
supplies operates as maintained. When the “Mode” –connection is open, the corresponding group
operates as non-maintained.
