Page 10: Tamper Terminal Block
Tamper terminal block The concentrator module has an internal long lever microswitch for tamper protection of the container. If you use mode of operation on bus, the device will indicate tampering with the control unit via BUS. In standalone mode, you can use the terminal block for connection to any burglar alarm or signaling device (telephone dialer, radio, etc. -
Page 11: Fiber Optic Tx And Rx
Fiber Optic TX and RX The concentrator is equipped with 4 connectors fiber. 2 for TX and 2 for RX (no need to do fine lapping prior to connection of the fiber). TX and RX fiber are calibrated to the use of plastic optical fiber to a maximum length of 200 meters. -
Page 12: Cutting And Torsion Fiber Signalling Relay
Cutting and torsion fiber signalling relay (Loop1-Tors1 and Loop2-Tors2) The concentrator is equipped with four relays alarm signal. Loop1: Alarm cut loop1 Loop2: Alarm cut Loop2 Tors1: Alarm torsion fiber loop1 Tors2: Alarm torsion fiber Loop2 The four relays are activated in case of breakage, cutting or torsion of the fiber. The cut and torsion signaling activates the relay for alarm only if the two events occur at different times. -
Page 13: Open Collector Oc1, Oc2 And Ocf Outputs
Open Collector OC1, OC2 and OCF outputs Open collector output with a negative closing. It 'always on. Shuts down in case of blocking the operation of the device or lack of power. The working scheme of this output is as follows: When the transistor is in standby, on the collector there is no tension. -
Page 14: Use First Mode
Use first mode 12Vcc relay connection to open collector output This is the simplest way to connect an open collector output that closes to negative. On ALM- 6815/6814 the transistor is always on. The open collector output is turned off by the total lack of power supply or locking the device. -
Page 15: Use Third Mode
Use third mode Open collector output connection to a separate relay from the concentrator module The main problem of the first connection mode described above, is that the relay is always active, increasing the absorption, per device, of about 20mA (depending on the type of relay connected). -

JP6 e JP3 Jumpers JP3: Activate the line termination. It should be activated only if requested by the Technical Service MARSS JP6: Enable the power on of the concentrator in stand-alone mode. In BUS mode the jumper must be removed. -
Page 17: Dip-Switch Sw2 Function
Dip-switch SW2 Function The dip-switch SW2 has 6 microswitches. Microswitch 2 is not used The microswitch 1 is used to disable the loop fiber 2. This function is used when we use fiber loop 1 only. Microswitch 1 ON => Loop2 Disabled (Segment on Display on) Microswitch 1 OFF =>... -
Page 18: Loop Fiber Adjustment Alm-6815 And Alm-6814
Loop fiber adjustment ALM-6815 and ALM-6814 After installation of the fiber (see page 26 for connecting and passing fiber) and the concentrator module, both loop fiber must be calibrated. To do this, we use the microswitches 3, 4, 5, 6 on dip-switch function and trimmer R30, R27, R34 and R17. Dip-switches and trimmers needed for calibration S1 Dip-switch switch3 enabling calibration loop1... -
Page 19: Fiber Loop Calibration
Fiber loop calibration For the primary calibration of the loop fiber proceed as follows. On dip-switch “Function”: 1. Ensure that the microswitch 3, 4, 5 and 6 are OFF; 2. Turn ON the microswitch 3 to enable adjustment of loop1; Adjust the trimmer R30 until you see on the display, the value close to 5. - Page 20 When adjusting the trimmer, the segment "a" and the segment "d" indicate whether it is increasing or decreasing the value of reading. In detail: The segment "a" blinks during adjustment if the value of reading increases. The segment "d" blinks during adjustment if the value of reading decreases.
- Page 21 4. Turn ON the microswitch 6 to enable fine calibration of loop2; Adjust the trimmer R17 until you see on the display • The segments “g” e “p” indicate the optimal adjustment of the fiber loop. When adjusting the trimmer, the segment "a" and the segment "d" indicate whether it is increasing or decreasing the value of reading.

Page 26: Connection And Passing Of The Optical Fiber
Connection and passing of the optical fiber with ALM-6006 (MARSS Patent) Most photovoltaic panels have holes on the frame that are often not used. Through these holes you can make it through the optical fiber, but with the risk of getting too tight curves that can drastically affect the transmission of optical signal. - Page 27 The ALM-6006 is designed to facilitate the installation of optical fiber through the panels and won several advantages: 70% reduction of time installing the fiber optic • Installation of the fiber with precision • Mechanical protection of the panel • Installation and Programming Manual V1.2...

Page 28: Minimum Curvature Of The Fiber
Minimum curvature of the fiber The minimum radius for sending and reading of the optical signal through the fiber, must be greater than or equal to 50mm. A curvature with radius smaller, in addition to causing damage to the fiber with the inevitable replacement of the same, will dramatically reduce the transmission and reception of the signal, causing alarm cut fiber signaling. -
