Introduction
This manual describes the mechanical and electrical installation of the SPA-ZC 100 gateway module to a device containing the SPA-bus interface. Programming of SPA-ZC 100 is described in the SPA-ZC 100/102 Programming manual (1MRS750743-MUM) and is out of scope of this document. The SPA-bus device to which this module is connected can be any protective relay, control module or alarm annunciator which has an interface for the SPA-bus (RS-485, RS-232 or logic/TTL interface). The SPA interface type is selected with DIP-switches located between the D9-connector and fibre optics connectors. The operating current for the SPA-ZC 100 module is received from the device it is connected to. The first section of this document describes the mechanical installation illustrated by some examples. The second section describes the electrical configuration of the SPA-ZC 100 module for different SPA-bus types and supply voltages. Additional information such as the technical data, data for fault diagnosis and ordering information are given in the subsequent sections.

Instructions
Mechanical installation
Normally, the SPA-ZC 100 module replaces the other SPA-bus connection modules of the device. The SPA-ZC 100 is installed on the back of the device using the installation plate and screws enclosed in delivery.

CAUTION 1 To attach the installation plate to SPA-ZC 100 module use the screws fastened to the bottom of the module. Longer screws can damage the electric circuit board inside. CAUTION 2 Before connecting the cable between the SPA device and the SPA-ZC 100, ensure that the DIP switch configuration of the module is correct. See section 2.2 Electrical installation.

The SPA-ZC 100 is connected with a short cable to the SPA-bus female D-connector at the back of the device. To ensure the correct operation the connection cable between the SPA-ZC 100 and the SPA-bus device has to be chosen properly (see tables below and ordering information section). The connection cable for the SACO 16D1 or similar types is attached by fastening the cable pins under screw connections. The order of pins is shown in the following picture.

The other end of the cable is attached to a RER 111 (LON Star Coupler) or similar device, so that the fibre connected to the transceiver of the SPA-ZC 100 is connected to the receiver of the RER 111 and vice versa. Do not bend the fibre-optic cable more than permitted, minimum bending radius (~ 50mm). For additional information, see manual Plastic-core fibre-optic cables. Features and instructions for mounting.

Maintenance and service

Self diagnostic SPA indicator LED
SPA indicator LED is lit whenever a SPA-ZC 100module is sending a message to the SPA-bus. If the self supervision of the SPA-ZC 100 detects a fault in the SPA-bus communication, the SPA indicator LED remains lit.

5.1.2.

LON indicator LED

The LON indicator LED has two functions: It operates as a Service LED indicating the status of the Neuron chip. It also indicates when an application of SPA-ZC 100 is sending messages to LON network. In the start-up situation, the LON indicator is normally lit once and then turns off. Pressing of the service pin turns on the LON indicator. The LON indicator LED is lit when a "Wink" message is received from LON network. The LON indicator LED is lit whenever the SPA-ZC 100 application is sending a message to LON network. The LED is not lit when the network management messages are sent or received. Normally, the LON indicator LED is lit only when the SPA-ZC 100 is sending data to LON network.

5.2.

Fault localization
The table below can be used to localize a fault and take corrective measures:
Problem Fault type Repair step Check if the SPA-bus device has power. Check that the SPA-ZC 100 is properly connected to the device. Check the DIP-switch settings for SPA-bus interface type and supply voltage. Check the communication speed of devices sharing the same communication channel. Check that the SPA-ZC 100 is properly connected to the device. Check the fibre-optic connections. Check that the master address of the SPA-ZC 100 is correct. Ensure that the LONWORKS address of the SPA-ZC 100 is unique in the communication network.

Check that the SPA-ZC 100 is properly connected to the device. Check the operation of the SPA-bus device. Check the DIP-switch settings of the SPA-bus interface type. Check the configuration of the SPAbus (SP-command): SPA-bus bit rate, parity, unit list definition. (See the SPA-ZC 100/102 Programming Manual for details).

5.3.

General about service

If the SPA-ZC 100 or part of it is found to be faulty, the normal service operation is to replace the whole SPA-ZC 100 with a new one. Please refer to ordering information.
