RUBIC UNA Monitoring System

The Rubic UNA control unit is designed for mounting on non-flammable flat surfaces (wall). Installation is done by screwing four wall plugs (assembly hole diameter Ø 3mm) in the specially prepared (thinned) points. The mounting locations and cable entries are covered by the elements of housing that need to be removed during installation.

The control unit is equipped with a 7" touch screen display. All necessary information about the status of the system is displayed on the main screen. Complete system configuration is possible from the main screen. Each control unit has a built-in battery to ensure that the unit can remain functional for at least 3 hours in case the mains supply is interrupted.  

The RUBIC UNA control unit communicates with the user via the touch screen display. For the purposes of this solution, the intuitive menu was designed and the user may navigate through it using a number of icons and buttons that are displayed on the screen. Tapping the appropriate area within the start screen and entering the access password displays the section related to the selected parameters. 
 

The MPU250-Power submodule is used to extend the system by adding further 250 luminaires. 13 additional external modules can be installed. The unit is designed for mounting on TH30 (DIN). The submodule communicates with the RUBIC UNA control unit via an Ethernet network, so it is necessary to connect it to the structural network of the building or to a special network dedicated to the system. The module requires that the IP address be changed to a non-factory IP address for proper operation. Each MPU250-Power module must have a distinct IP address. 
 

The RUBIC UNA system can handle the dynamic emergency lighting luminaires. With the use of the potential-free input module (MWB), it is possible to receive signals from the fire-protection systems and activate a pre-prepared dynamic scenario. The MWB module should be installed on the communication line in the same manner as the luminaires. The MWB can run a scenario for dynamic luminaires connected within the same submodule.  

The uninterruptible power supply is designed to operate with the accessories used in the RUBIC UNA system. It ensures that modules continue to run in the emergency mode. Use of UPS to supply the SWITCH secures the sending of information between a submodule and the RUBIC UNA control unit even when the primary power supply is not available.  

Each submodule communicates with the control unit via a LAN network. The maximum LAN cable is 100m. If distances are greater, a network switch is required to increase the distance by another 100m. The RU SWITCH should be provided with continuous power supply even in the case of a primary power supply failure. Absence of the guaranteed power supply eliminates communication between the MPU250-Power submodule and the RUBIC UNA control unit. AWEX offers two types of SWITCH – with 5 and 8 channels. They are designed for mounting on TH30 (DIN) rail The separation devices can be successfully supplied with the ZMPU uninterruptible power supply made by AWEX. When using a device other than the recommended one, consideration should be given to the current consumption which should not exceed 100mA. A higher current draw will reduce the back-up time of the ZMPU.
