Fortunately, fire safety devices have long been invented. It is thanks to them that it is possible to identify a fire at an early stage and call firefighters in time. This article will introduce its readers to one of these devices. So, the device that will be considered here is Astra-812. This article will tell you about all the nuances of working with this device: what is the package, how to manage this acquisition. And now about everything in order.
Control panel "Astra-812": price
First of all, I would like to talk about the cost of this device. "Astra-812" is not the only model of devices produced by the manufacturer. If we consider this model along with others of the same company, then we can say that it is the most expensive. To confirm these words, you can compare the device "Astra-812" with the model "Astra-713".
The first model will cost about six thousand rubles, and the second - about two and a half thousand. The range is quite large, but there is something to overpay for. The functionality and performance that Astra-812 has is an order of magnitude higher than that of Astra-713. But whatthe buyer receives for such money? What functions and modes does this device have? More on that below.
"Astra-812": instruction manual
So, along with the box and the device itself, there is an instruction manual included. It describes in detail all the functionality and principle of operation. In addition, the book describes all the buttons and designations of the Astra-812 device, namely, what this or that button is responsible for. From the instructions, you can learn that the device has a special magazine that clearly describes the entire operation of the device.
Also, using the menu, you can check the working status of the device, and if there are any malfunctions or errors, the program will immediately let you know about it. In addition, the device is capable of operating in several modes.
Device modes
As mentioned above, there are several modes of operation of the "Astra-812" device. The instruction manual lists them all and explains how to work with them. In this part of the article, the reader will also be able to learn about them in more detail.
Basic
Considering the modes, it is necessary to clarify that it would be more correct to speak not about the nature of the device's operation, but about the operation mode of the relays that are installed there. There are two relays in total. There are three work systems:
- The first mode is "Sound". If this mode is enabled, the first relay will be open if the alarm loops (AL) of the so-called security type are normal. And this relay will be closed if it goes beyond the established limits.at least one SS. The second relay is also capable of operating in this mode. It will open if the fire type loop is normal. And it will be closed only when one of the loops goes beyond the established limits.
- The next mode is "Alarm". The first relay will be closed if everything is normal, and open if at least one of the ALs goes beyond the set limits. The second fire-type relay works in exactly the same way.
- The last, third mode is "Control lamp". The principle of operation of two relays is similar to the principle of operation in the second mode.
These are all operating modes of the "Astra-812" device. The instructions describe them in more detail.
Appearance of the machine
Everything is told about the modes, about the configuration too. What is this device? With its size, it is somewhat reminiscent of an intercom installed on the entrance door. On the front side there is a small screen. He's pretty informative. It reflects the time, date, mode of operation of the device. LCD screen, no glare. Another thing that pleases in it is the ability to adjust the backlight level. In other words, it can be made either brighter or darker.
Under the screen, on the left side, you can see four arrow keys in different directions. These arrows are used to move through the menu of the Astra-812 device. In the center are the number keys from 0 to nine. On the right are four more buttons: "OK", "C", "" and"". The buttons are medium in size, so they are quite comfortable to use. On other models, these keys are much smaller and not as comfortable to press as they are here.
On the back of the device you can see the USB connector, fasteners to hang the device on the wall, a rather large hole for connecting the necessary wires to the device. It is interesting to open the back cover of this device. There is usually either a hole or some sort of tab to open the lid. Here, there is neither one nor the other. But there is a convenient button on the back of the case. You need to lightly press on it, and that's it - the lid is open.
How to install the device
Let's talk a little about the installation of this device. First you need to make the necessary holes in the wall. Next, you need to open the cover of the device itself and push out the plugs in any convenient way, which initially close the hole for entering the wires. After that, it is necessary to carry out all the wires necessary for connecting and fix the base of the device. Further installation is carried out strictly according to the schemes that are indicated in the operating instructions. When the installation is completely finished, you can close the cover.
Manufacturer's Warranty
The manufacturer of the Astra-812 device says that within three years, buyers can count on free repairs. And the life of the device itself is from five to six years. As in the case of any other device, the manufacturer has every right to refuse to repair if the device hasmechanical damage that was caused by the buyer himself.
