Expansion modules connected to the Inception controller via the RS485 system LAN, must be connected using appropriate twisted-pair cable. If Inception is replacing another product, any existing LAN wiring may only be used if it meets the LAN cabling requirements described in the ‘LAN & Reader Ports’ section of this manual.
• 12V DC power outputs for powering external security devices. • LAN port for system expansion via RS-485. • Reader port for connection of up to 8 x Inner Range SIFER or SIFER-Keypad readers. • DC power input for connection to the Inception power supply.
DOTL, valid & invalid (for wiegand readers), lift floor button enables, siren outputs, strobes, automation devices, etc. The Inception controller has 4 relay outputs in total. These can be used as lock relays for doors, floor button enable contacts for lifts or general purpose dry contact outputs.
Widebody and Rack-mount Enclosures. Refer to the Inner Range website. Power Supply Options The Inception controller has connections for an 18 to 24V DC Power Supply input and a 12V Sealed Lead-Acid (SLA) Battery. These connections are labelled “DC IN” and “BATT” respectively and allow two power supply options to be supported: 1.
(for reed switches, etc.) and wireless remote fobs. When RF transmitter activity is saved to the Inception review log, a signal strength value is included in the message. This allows the installer to assess the relative signal strength of different receiver and/or transmitter locations and the effective range of portable transmitters such as remote fobs.
8. When programming and commissioning of the system is complete, and whenever programming changes are made, use the browser to create a backup of the Inception controller database. Use the “Backup Database” option in the Backup/Restore section of the System options.
Inner Range Inception Security Controller Installation Manual. Rev. 4.0 LED Status Indicators The Inception controller has 11 status LED’s to quickly identify the current operational status. LED State Meaning POWER No DC IN connected. (Mains not present) ON Green DC IN connected (Mains power present) and within nominal voltage range.
Approx 200m for an LCD Terminal; Approx. 25-50m for other Module types. See the “Inception LAN Installation Guide” for details. If a separate power supply is used, do not connect + from the controller Reader port to the Module.
Wi-Fi enabled device to connect to the network. By default, the name of the Wi-Fi network will be the Inception controller serial number (e.g. WS001923) with the password “inception”. Open a browser and navigate to the URL http://inception.local...
Central Monitoring Station. T4000 Communicator A T4000 Security Communicator can be connected to the USB port on the Inception controller to send IP alarms to a Monitoring Station in Contact ID or IR-fast reporting formats.* T4000 can provide multiple redundant polled reporting paths using multiple 3G networks in addition to ethernet internet reporting to ensure reliable alarm monitoring.

“Get time out of order. configured NTP server is from browser“. This will sync the inception not configured correctly. panel’s time to that of the device being used to setup the system.
Installation Manual. Rev. 4.0 MAINTENANCE. Firmware update The Inception controller and LAN Modules can be updated to the latest firmware version from the browser. Use the “Update Controller” or “Update Modules” selections in the Firmware Update options under “System”. See screen below.
2) The Inception controller can be reset to the Factory Default settings from the browser. Use the “Reset to Factory Default” button in the Backup/Restore options under “System”. See screen image below.
Inception controller power supply. 3. A separate external battery-backed power supply may be required for devices connected to the Inception controller if the current required is in excess of the maximum current allowed for that power supply output, or causes the maximum combined output current specification to be exceeded.
