This document describes the ATS111x-N Arming Station, a device designed for security and access control systems. It serves as a user interface for managing various security functions within a larger system, offering both visual and auditory feedback.
Function Description
The ATS111x-N Arming Station acts as a local user interface for the ATS control panel, providing a keypad and display for system interaction. It allows users to arm and disarm security areas, view system status, and manage access control functions. The station supports up to 16 LED indicators for displaying system status, including armed/disarmed states, fault conditions, and access events. It also features a buzzer for audible alerts and feedback.
The device integrates with the ATS control panel via a two-wire RS485 data bus, which provides both power and communication. It supports various user authentication methods, including PIN codes and smart cards (with specific models). The station can be configured to operate in different modes, such as day/night operation, and offers programmable options for LED indicators and buzzer tones.
Key functions include:
- Arming/Disarming: Users can arm or disarm specific security areas or the entire system using PIN codes or smart cards.
- Status Display: The LCD and LED indicators provide real-time status updates on armed areas, fault conditions, alarms, and access events.
- Access Control: When integrated with an access control system, the station can manage door access, allowing or denying entry based on user credentials.
- Event Logging: The system records events such as arming/disarming, alarms, and faults, which can be reviewed through the control panel.
- Programming: The station can be used to program various system parameters, including user codes, access rights, and system configurations.
- Tamper Detection: The device includes tamper switches to detect unauthorized opening or removal from its mounting surface, triggering an alarm if tampered with.

Operation Modes:
- Day/Night Mode: Allows different system behaviors and access rights during day and night periods.
- Arming Modes: Supports various arming options, such as full arming, part arming (e.g., perimeter only), and instant arming.
- User Profiles: Multiple user profiles can be configured with different PIN codes and access levels, allowing granular control over who can perform specific actions.
Installation and Mounting:
- The station is designed for surface mounting.
- It connects to the control panel via a two-wire data bus, simplifying wiring.
- The mounting plate includes screw holes for secure attachment and a cable entry point for neat wiring.
- Tamper switches ensure that any attempt to remove the station from the wall or open its casing will trigger an alarm.
Configuration:
- The station can be programmed directly from its keypad or through the ATS control panel.
- Menu-driven programming allows for easy setup of user codes, access rights, and system parameters.
- DIP switches on the back of the unit are used to set the RAS (Remote Arming Station) address, which is crucial for communication with the control panel.
Maintenance Features
The ATS111x-N Arming Station is designed for low maintenance, with features aimed at ensuring long-term reliability and ease of troubleshooting.
Self-Diagnostics:
- The system continuously monitors its own operation and can display fault messages on the LCD if issues arise, such as communication errors or tamper events.
- LED indicators provide visual cues for various system states, including faults, making it easier to identify problems.
Troubleshooting:
- The manual provides a comprehensive troubleshooting guide to help identify and resolve common issues, such as power failures, communication problems, and incorrect configurations.
- Error codes and messages displayed on the LCD assist in pinpointing the root cause of a problem.
- The device's modular design allows for easy replacement of components if necessary.
Firmware Updates:
- Firmware updates can be performed to enhance functionality, improve performance, or address security vulnerabilities. These updates are typically managed through the main control panel.
