ACU-120 SATEL The alarm system installation to which the controller is to be connected should be provided with: 2-pole disconnector, short-circuit protection with a 16 A time delay circuit breaker. The controller should be installed indoors, in spaces with normal air humidity. Prior to installation you should plan the arrangement of all ABAX system wireless devices which are to be operated by the controller.
SATEL ACU-120 Fig. 2. Method of connecting the controller to the control panel. 10. Connect the power cables to the 12V and COM terminals. Use conductors with a cross- section of 1 – 2.5 mm . The controller may be powered directly from the control panel, from an expander with power supply, or from a power supply unit with current limitation up to 3 A.

SATEL ACU-120 devices and violations of detectors operating in active mode are sent to the controller. The response period has an effect on the level of energy consumption by the wireless devices. The less often communication between the controller and the wireless devices takes place, the lower energy consumption and the longer battery life are.
ACU-120 SATEL ARD-100 – wireless reorientation detector. ASD-110 – wireless smoke and heat detector. ASD-150 – wireless smoke detector. ATD-100 – wireless temperature detector [supported, if the controller works with the INTEGRA or INTEGRA Plus control panel].
SATEL ACU-120 7.2.1 Work with the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control panels The number of supported wireless devices depends on the control panel. When adding and removing the wireless devices, remember that the identification function registers zones and outputs by groups of 8. Already after adding one wireless device which takes up 1 zone, the control panel will reserve 8 zones in the system for wireless devices.
Page 14
ACU-120 SATEL In case of devices which, in addition to zones, also take up outputs, it is recommended that you add them to the system first. This will allow you to maintain the continuity of use of not the zones alone, but the outputs as well. Table 2 shows a situation in which the siren first output occupies position 8, and the second output –...

SATEL ACU-120 3. Enter the 7-digit serial number of the added device. The serial number can be found on the electronics board or on the enclosure. Each ARF-100 radio signal level tester has serial number 0000500. 4. Depending on the device type:...
ACU-120 SATEL 7. A message will be displayed to inform you that the expander identification function has been started. 8. After the devices have been identified, a new name of the zone will be displayed. You can change it. The same name will also be given to an output, if the device is to be assigned to the output.

SATEL ACU-120 reported if no transmission from the AMD-103 magnetic contact / ASP-100 siren is received within one hour. ARU – parameter available for a wireless device, if the ARU-100 repeater is registered in the controller (the controller is connected to the INTEGRA or INTEGRA Plus control panel). It...
ACU-120 SATEL option to send out alarm to other ASD-150 detectors. ATD-100 – wireless temperature detector. For both positions occupied by detector, the temperature threshold parameters can be programmed (thus two different temperature threshold can be programmed): threshold type: high (when the temperature rises above the defined temperature value, alarm will be triggered) or low (when the temperature drops below the defined temperature value, alarm will be triggered);...

SATEL ACU-120 – enter the ARU-100 repeater number in the list of wireless devices, if the device is to communicate to the controller via the repeater (the ARU-100 repeater takes up two positions on the list of devices – enter the number of the first of them).
ACU-120 SATEL AVD-100 – for the magnetic contact, enter the digit 0 (bottom reed switch) or 1 (side reed switch) to determine which of the two reed switches is to be active. For the vibration detector, enter 2 digits: digit – sensitivity: from 1 to 8 (1 – minimum ; 8 – maximum).
SATEL ACU-120 LCD keypad For information on configuring wireless devices from the LCD keypad, please refer to the VERSA / VERSA Plus / VERSA IP control panel programming manual. Specific character of the operation of wireless devices This chapter describes the peculiar character of the operation of individual groups of wireless devices, which affects the method of programming the zones and outputs to which the wireless devices are assigned.
ACU-120 SATEL ASP-105 – the first output controls acoustic signaling, and the other one – optical signaling. The command to start or stop the signaling is sent to the siren immediately. The acoustic signaling stops after the maximum duration of acoustic signaling elapses, even if the control output is still active.
SATEL ACU-120 other hardwired zones / outputs of the control panel. You should remember however that sensitivity of the expander zones may be different from that programmed in the control panel: – from 20 ms to 140 ms – the same as the value programmed in the control panel;...
ACU-120 SATEL 8. Wireless keypads The wireless keypads constitute a special category of wireless devices for which a separate group of positions is reserved in the controller. Wireless keypads supported by the controller VERSA-LCDM-WRL – wireless keypad designed for operating the VERSA / VERSA Plus / VERSA IP control panel.

SATEL ACU-120 On pressing any keyfob button (not necessarily the one used to control a system zone), information on the status of three selected system outputs will be presented on the keyfob LEDs. Thus you can get confirmation that the function has been executed or information on the current system status.
