HIRSCH AEB8 Quick Installation

Testing

After installing the board, you can test it by following this procedure:
1. Attach a printer to the Controller or make sure the Controller is attached to a
SCRAMBLE*NET PC.
2. Power the system up by first connecting the AC power, then the standby
battery.
3. The system goes through its self-test. You should see this information printed
out at the local printer.
Under the Configurations section, you should see this:
Expansion Inputs = 8
if one AEB8 is installed and
Expansion Inputs = 16
if two AEB8s are installed.
Under the Options section, you should see this line:
AEB8-1
if one AEB8 is installed and
AEB8-2
if two AEB8s are installed.
4. Use Command 88*2 from the ScramblePad to request the Max Users and
Options information, or use Host PC software.
5. If the correct information doesn't appear on the printouts, power down the
Controller and recheck the EBIC connections, then retry the test procedure. If
it still doesn't work, contact Hirsch.

The AEB8 is an 8-input Alarm Expansion board where each input is supervised like the
inputs on the controller board. A Line Module is required for each input.

Setup

No more than 2 AEB8s can be installed in the M2, M8, M64, MSP-8R, or MSP-64R.
The M16 cannot accommodate an AEB8.
There are two jumper positions in the middle of the board which control board
addressing:
Jumper Addresses
J1 1 - 8 (factory default for first AEB8)
J2 9 - 16 (default for second AEB8)
