    Besides wireless detectors you can also enroll up to 8 keyfob transmitters (Secure Code) or keypads (MCM- 140) to be able to arm and disarm the AlphaVision ML. The Alpha Vision ML wireless expansion module has no address setting required and is powered directly from the main board.

  • Page 28: Pstn Expansion

    For alarm transmission via GSM the GSM/GPRS module must be equipped with a SIM card. It is strongly advised not to use Prepaid cards as the AlphaVision ML cannot detect that the calling credit has expired. The GSM signal strength is displayed on the top line of the LCD display on the far right hand side. The strength is indicated with a value between 1 and 9, where 9 is optimal and 1 is very poor.

  • Page 30: Power Consumption And Battery Calculations

    POWER CONSUMPTION AND BATTERY CALCULATIONS Power consumption For larger AlphaVision ML installations it is extremely important to calculate the total power consumption to ensure that the security system continues working during a mains failure. Furthermore it is important to know if the capacity of the batteries is sufficient to keep the security system running for the prescribed number of hours during a mains failure.

  • Page 31: Example Calculation For Minimal Battery Capacity

    Example 2 AlphaVision ML control panel (133mA) with 8 detectors (8 * 17mA), 2 LCD keypads (2 * 15mA), 1 Input + 8 o.c. module (58mA) with 4 magnetic contacts and 4 detectors (4 * 17mA) and 1 wireless expansion module (15mA): total power consumption is 440mA in idle state.

  • Page 32: Maximum Distance Between An Expansion Module And Its Power Supply

    100 meters. Keypads The AlphaVision ML LCD keypad has a current consumption of 15mA in idle state. This is with the LCD backlight + LEDs programmed as 'Off', see system programming. When using the recommended cable (art.nr. 008653), this is equivalent to a voltage drop of 0.12 V per 100m. On an LCD keypad in the worst case situation (no mains supply and minimal battery voltage) the incoming supply voltage must not be below 8V.
  • Page 33 1200m. PSTN plug-on dialer The AlphaVision ML can be extended with a PSTN plug-on dialer that is powered directly from the main board. The power consumption of the PSTN dialer is approx. 10mA. Installer manual AlphaVision ML Rev.

    IP addresses (WAN) which make connecting from the outside world (for example using the APP) with the AlphaVision ML insecure due to changing IP addresses. In order to solve this issue it is possible to use a dynamic IP address (DynDNS) for the Alpha Vision ML. DYNDNS ensures that the connection between the dynamic IP address (WAN) of the provider and the Alpha Vision ML panel always exists regardless if the dynamic IP address (WAN) of the provider changes.

    This settings is used for programming the IP address of the IP receiver card at the monitoring station. The AlphaVision ML uses the SIA-HS IP (data) protocol and is received on an RC-4001 IP receiver. The correct IP address can be obtained from the monitoring station.

    To establish a connection between the APP and the AlphaVision ML control panel various data must be verified. Thus it is necessary to program an APP port number both in the APP and in the AlphaVision ML. If the AlphaVision ML control panel must be reachable from outside the protected premises APP portnumber must be forwarded in the modem / router of the customer.

    Under NTP1/2 IP ADDRESS an IP address of a NTP-server can be entered which is used to synchronize the date and time in the AlphaVision ML. From firmware 3.30 and higher DNS support has been added and it is possible to enter a name string, for example ntp.planet.nl. The AlphaVision ML will then be able to connect at regular intervals to the NTP-server to automatically update its own date and time.

    The AlphaVision ML can be (remotely) connected to a computer/laptop with the AlphaTool software. This allows the installer to easily program the AlphaVision ML control panel and to gain remote access to the control panel to view log events and view/modify programming. The AlphaVision ML can transmit information via different methods (IP, GPRS, PSTN and GSM), remote service only applies for IP, PSTN and GSM (not GPRS !).

  • Page 93: Remote Service Pstn/Gsm

    When the AlphaVision ML control panel is approached from a computer (with AlphaTool) from an internal network (LAN) only the ‘Remote Service’ option needs to be set to ON. If the AlphaVision ML is approached from a computer with AlphaTool outside the network (WAN) then it is necessary to program the appropriate firewall settings and port forwarding in the modem/router to which the AlphaVision ML is connected.

    When the initiative to connect via IP(LAN) is done from the AlphaVision ML control panel, the Remote IP address and Remote port of the installers computer needs to be programmed in the AlphaVision ML control panel. The supervisor of the AlphaVision ML control panel needs to initiate the remote service session from the user menu (Maintenance sub-menu).

    When the AlphaVision ML control panel is equipped with both a speech plug-on board as well as a keypad with integrated speaker and microphone or a speakerphone the called party can activate a semi-duplex speech/listen-in session.

    (only applicable to wireless zones, e.g. RF=108). For hardwired components the displayed reception strength has no meaning and will be shown as RF=099. When the AlphaVision ML control panel uses a wireless receiver unit, the measured reception strength is shown.

    The option is quite self-explanatory, follow the instructions on the display. Test outputs To test the outputs of the AlphaVision ML, use the ‘TEST OUTPUTS’ function. Select the desired output and press <#/OK> to activate the output. Pressing <#/OK> again will deactivate the output.

    RESET INSTALLER AND SUPERVISOR CODE The installer (and from firmware V2.0 and above also the supervisor) code of the AlphaVision ML can be reset to the default code by performing the following actions: Open the cabinet of the AlphaVision ML and make sure that the tamper switch is open (not depressed).

  • Page 100: Firmware Upgrade (Bios Flash) Of The Alphavision Ml

    Performing a firmware (bios flash) upgrade remotely It is possible to upgrade the firmware of the AlphaVision ML using a function in AlphaTool. The remote flash function can be found in the ‘Update firmware’ menu in AlphaTool.

  • Page 102 Place the jumper on pin header J1. The jumper must be placed over the 2 pins left from the green watchdog LED. Apply power to the AlphaVision ML. When powering-up, the green watchdog LED will turn-on shortly and then turn off again. The other LED’s will react different than described in the LED overview, this is due to the fact that the AlphaVision ML is in the ‘flash’...

  • Page 104 Place the jumper J43 back into the ‘run’ mode. The jumper must be placed over the right and the middle pin of the header. The left pin must stay empty. Power-up the AlphaVision ML. The green watchdog LED must illuminate, this is to indicate that the board is running and the new firmware functions.
