ChallengerSE functionality
User capacity
TS1016SE Challenger Standard Edition (ChallengerSE) panels support 100
users. This capacity can be expanded to 2,000 users via a TS1082 User
Expansion Licence or 65,535 users via a TS1084 Memory Expansion Module.
Note: If a ChallengerSE control panel needs more than 2,000 users, then a
TS1084 Memory Expansion Module must be used in place of the TS1082 User
Licence Module.
Communications ports
When a ChallengerSE control panel is used without being fitted with a
communications module (such as a TS1091 Enhanced Communications
Licence) the ChallengerSE panel’s onboard Ethernet, USB, and RS-232
communications ports are time-limited.
When the ChallengerSE panel is initially powered, defaulted, or is restarted, the
communications ports can be used for 60 minutes. During this time, the top line
of the LCD RAS displays “Remote nn,” (where nn is the number of minutes
remaining, counting down from 60).
When the remote communications session expires, the panel’s communications
ports are deactivated, and the LCD RAS displays as per the programmed
settings.
If you need more than 60 minutes of communication, use the Service menu
option 6 “Management software for 60mins” to restart the timer. (This command
may be used at any time to enable the communications ports for 60 minutes.)
RAS display
You can tell via LCD RAS whether a ChallengerSE panel has modules fitted. Use
Install menu option 11 Version, and then select option 1 Chall. Press [ENTER]
repeatedly to see the panel’s details, including memory type and communications
type.
The displayed memory types are:
• “TIUM” indicates 100 user capacity (ChallengerSE or ChallengerLE default)
• “MIUM” indicates 2000 user capacity (Challenger10 default or ChallengerSE
with TS1082 module fitted)
• “LIUM” indicates 65,535 user capacity (TS1084 module fitted)
The displayed communications types are:
• 60min Comms (ChallengerSE default)
• Full Comms (Challenger10, ChallengerLE default; ChallengerSE with
communications module fitted)
