5.12.2 Starting the identification function from DloadX program
1. Click on the button in the main menu. The “Versa – Structure” window will open.
2. Click on the “Hardware” tab.
3. Click on the “Expanders” branch.
4. Click on the “Identification” button to run the identification function.
5. After the identification is finished, a window will appear with a prompt whether to read the
data. Click “OK”.
5.13 Connecting the computer to the control panel
Using a computer, you can configure the alarm system (DLOADX program) or update the
control panel firmware. The communication is encrypted. The RS-232 port (TTL) of the
control panel can be connected with the USB port of the computer by means of the USB-RS
converter offered by SATEL.
5.14 Installation of ABAX wireless devices
This section does not cover installation of the wireless keypads. They constitute
a separate category of devices and should be installed according to the manual
delivered with the device.
If an ABAX wireless system controller (ACU-120 / ACU-270 / ACU-100 / ACU-250) is
connected to the control panel, you can proceed to installation of ABAX wireless devices
after control panel start-up and controller identification by the control panel. Before installing
a wireless device, check the level of radio signal received by the device from controller and
by the controller from device at the planned installation place. The ARF-100 tester is a useful
tool to check the signal level. The level of signal received by device/controller may not be
lower than 40%. If the radio signal level at the planned installation place is too low, select
another installation location. Sometimes it is sufficient to move the device ten or twenty
centimeters to obtain a significant improvement of signal quality. You can install the device
permanently only after reaching the optimum level of radio signal.
The wireless devices must be registered to the alarm system. This can be done using the
DLOADX program or LCD keypad.
5.14.1 Adding new ABAX wireless devices
The control panel can support up to 30 wireless devices. The number of actually supported
devices depends on how many positions the individual devices occupy. Each position means
one wireless zone or one wireless zone and one wireless output.
If a device occupies two or more positions, its addition will respectively decrease the number
of wireless devices that can still be registered (e.g. after adding a ACX-200 expander, which
takes up 4 positions, the controller can still support 26 other wireless devices).
Even if a device occupies several zones in the system, only the first of them should be
indicated during the device adding procedure. The next ones are assigned automatically
(these are the zones following the selected one).
If the device occupies an output as well, its number will be the same as the number of zone
selected during the device adding procedure.
The control panel does not support wireless outputs with numbers from 13 to 30.
DloadX program
You can add ABAX wireless devices in the “Versa – Structure” window, “Hardware” tab, after
clicking on the ABAX system controller name in the list of devices.
