AJAX ocBridge Plus Manual

1. FEATURES
Wireless sensors' receiver ocBridge is designated for connecting
compatible Ajax devices to any third party wired central unit (panel)
with a help of NC/NO contacts. Ajax system has two-way connection
with the sensors which enables its functioning in two modes: active
mode and passive mode. When the system is in passive mode, wireless
sensors switch to power-saving mode, which makes it possible to extend
significantly battery life.
ATTENTION!
If the receiver ocBridge is connected to the wire central unit, the digital
input «IN» (wire input) MUST have connection with relay output or
transistor output from the central unit, and this output must be inverted
when the central unit is being armed or disarmed. Detailed description
of connection to the central unit described in paragraph 6.5.

4. SENSORS' HANDLING
4.1. Connect the ocBridge to the computer with a help of USB cable (type
А–miniUSB) through connector «4» (PICTURE 1). Turn on the receiver
with the switch «10» (PICTURE 1).
If it is the first connection, wait until the system identify new device and
install the software drivers. If the drivers were not installed automatically,
you will have to install the driver-program vcpdriver_v1.3.1 manually.
There are different versions of this program for x86 and x64 Windows
platforms. You can find two files: VCP_V1.3.1_Setup.exe for 32-bit
Windows operating systems and VCP_V1.3.1_Setup_x64.exe – for 64-bit
Windows operating systems on the CD. If the wrong driver was installed, at
first, it is necessary to uninstall it (through Windows programs uninstall),
then reboot the computer and install the necessary software driver. Also,
NET Framework 4 (or newer version) should be installed. After drivers
instalation, launch the program «Ajax ocBridge configurator». Paragraph
5 of this manual provides the details about the program «Ajax ocBridge
configurator» functioning.
In the program settings in «Ajax ocBridge configurator» settings (menu
«Connection» - «Setting»), select COM port that is chosen by the system
for the receiver (PICTURE 2), click «OK» and then the «Connect» button.
«Ajax ocBridge configurator» is ready to work with the ocBridge receiver.

4.2. All devices that you want to connect to the ocBridge must be registered
with a help of «Ajax ocBridge configurator». In order to register the
sensors, it is necessary to create radio zones in the configurator in case
of it had not been done before. To do this select the "Radio zone" and click
«Add zone» button (PICTURE 3).
DESCRIPTION
OcBridge is in configuration mode. In con-
figuration, there are Pages "Radio zones"
or «Events memory» are opened. During
this period, the sensors do not receive
the responses to the alarm signals and
statuses.
New radio set unit detection mode is on.
A moment when the ocBridge receiver
register a new device
Searching for all devices after the previ-
ously saved PC configuration is download-
ed, system is armed; system is disarmed.
The receiver is in in the operating mode,
the system is disarmed
The receiver is in operating mode, the
system is armed.
Radio signal is tested in order to connected
sensor or other device.
New detectors' polling period started, 36
seconds by default.
