System power and data communication
OmniTrax Product Guide Page 63
There are two optional batteries available for applications requiring extended run time in the
event of AC power failure. The 6 Ah battery (00KT0100) will provide a minimum of 4 hours of
battery operation. The 2.9 Ah battery will provide approximately 2 hours of battery operation.
The power supply is capable of charging a customer supplied battery of up to 20 Ah capacity.
Alarm data communications
There are two selectable control modes for the OmniTrax processor’s inputs and outputs (I/O)
local control mode and remote control mode. You set the control mode in software, via the
Universal Configuration Module (UCM) which is a Windows-based software application. The
default setting is local control mode, in which the OmniTrax processor controls the on-board relays
to signal alarm and supervision conditions. In local control mode, the two Aux (auxiliary) inputs are
self-test inputs to the processor. In remote control mode, the alarm data is carried over the Silver
Network to a host security management system. Remote control mode enables the security
management system to control the processor’s relays as output points to operate other security
equipment. The two Aux inputs provide inputs to the host security system for reporting the status
of auxiliary devices. In both communication modes, you can configure the processor’s input/output
response according to your site-specific requirements.
• local control mode - hard-wired contact closure alarm data connections and self-test input
wiring connections are made between the processor and the annunciation equipment
(4 output relays, 2 self-test inputs) (the optional Relay Output card provides 8 additional
outputs for reporting alarm conditions)
• remote control mode - the alarm data communications are via the Silver Network - EIA-422
copper wire data paths or fiber optic cables connect one or two processors to the Network
Interface Unit (NIU), the remaining processors can be connected via EIA-422 wiring, fiber
optic cable, or data can be carried between processors via the sensor cables
the 4 output relays are available as output control points from the host system (the optional
Relay Output card provides 8 additional relays, which are also available as output control
points), the 2 auxiliary device inputs are available for reporting the status of auxiliary
equipment to the host system (the optional Universal Input Card provides 8 additional inputs,
which are also available for connecting auxiliary equipment to the host system)
Alarm communication options
• contact closure alarm communications (local control mode) up to 10 distinct alarm zones per
processor (requires optional ROC) + supervision and fail
• built-in data communication network, secure data passes between processors over the sensor
cables
(One or two processors have a Silver Network connection to the NIU.)
• Silver Network data communications are daisy-chained to each processor around the
perimeter using either EIA-422 copper wire data paths or fiber optic cable
Note The optional local battery is not intended for use as a primary power
source. It provides approximately 2 hours of emergency backup power
in the event of an AC power failure.
Note All processors communicating over the Silver Network require a
network interface card (NIC).
A processor can use either an ROC or a UIC, but not both.
Note You can use a combination of the above methods for powering and data
communications.
