AX-PENN (/ST7) peripheral expansion network node modules provide an on-board Axis AX peripheral bus (PBUS) allowing for the connection of any Advanced peripheral bus module remotely from the Axis AX fire alarm control panel (i.e.: switch LED modules, audio amplifier modules, relays, etc.).
The AX-PENN (/ST7) is designed for mounting within any Advanced enclosure. The module mounts wherever an Advanced peripheral bus module can be mounted. In addition, the module can be mounted to a single aperture plate for single aperture opening installation (see figure 1 mounting locations).
2.3 Wiring The AX-PENN (/ST7) peripheral expansion network node module is designed to be easy to install and wire. Pluggable terminal blocks are provided for all wiring which can accommodate up to 14 AWG wire. Confirm wiring sizes are adequate to deliver the required load current and maintain compatibility with the device voltages. Note: Disconnect all sources of power (AC and battery) before installing components or servicing the module.
2.3.1.2 Intelligent Power Supply Monitoring If the AX-PENN (/ST7) is powered internally by an Advanced AX-PSU-6 power supply charger, connect the supplied 4 pin connecter to the PL2 plug-in connector on the AX-PSU-6; connect the other end of the supplied 4 pin connector to the PSU COM (PL3) plug-in connector on the AX-PENN (/ST7) [see figure 5].
2.3.2.1 AX-PENN (Class B) Ad-NeT-PluS Network Wiring Wire the Ad-NeT-PluS network, A OUT, B OUT and SCN (shield) from the previous node to the A IN, B IN and SCN (shield) terminals of the AX-PENN module (see figure 7). Wire the A OUT, B OUT and SCN (shield) of the AX-PENN module to the next network node.
2.3.3 Peripheral Bus (P-BUS) The AX-PENN (/ST7) can support sixteen (16) of each type of Advanced peripheral bus modules. Peripheral bus modules must be located within 20 feet of the AX-PENN (/ST7) module within the same room. Below is a list of...
Class A communications. 2.3.4 Optional AX-DSP Keyboard Display The AX-PENN (/ST7) can support a standard Advanced AX-DSP keyboard display, simply wire the keyboard display cable to the AX serial port on the AX-PENN (/ST7) [see figure 10].
The AX-DSP connected to an AX-PENN (/ST7) will offer all the features and benefits it offers on a standard fire alarm control panel; including the three (3) programmable function buttons, six (6) programmable function LEDs and eight (8) programmable switch inputs located on the back of the display. 2.3.5 USB Port The AX-PENN (/ST7) incorporates a USB port for PC-NeT upload/download programming (see figure 11).
3 AX-PENN (/ST7) PC-NeT Programming Adding an AX-PENN (/ST7) Network Node Within the AxisAX Series Configuration Software 6.81 or higher, after installing an AxisAX panel , click on the add product icon and select the AxisAX-PENN network peripheral. Rename If you would like, rename the AX-PENN from Panel 2 to an appropriate name and click OK , which will add the AX-PENN (/ST7) to the installation.
Once the AX-PENN has been added to the installation, the user will need to program the AX-PENN Panel Details. In addition to the AX-PENN Panel Details programming, the AX-PENN will also require On-Board, User Interface and Peripheral Bus programming. 3.1.1 Panel Details Programming Within the Panel Details area of the AX-PENN, the user will need to review and if required, modify the defaulted Panel Details programming for General, Display Options, Service Options, Disable Output Menu Options, Daylight Saving Settings, Trouble Notification and Printer options (see below).
3.1.2 On-Board Programming The On-Board programming area of the AX-PENN allows the user to utilize and define the eight (8) programmable switch inputs of the optional AX-DSP keyboard display, the switch input (I/P SW+ and SW-) of the AX-PENN and the AC trouble monitoring of an associated AX-PSU-6, if intelligently connected.
3.1.4 Peripheral Bus Programming The Peripheral Bus programming area of the AX-PENN is where the user adds and programs the AX-PENN associated peripheral bus (PBUS) modules. Uploading, Downloading and Firmware Flashing There are three (3) buttons and two (2) LEDs associated with the AX-PENN (/ST7) PCB (printed circuit board) for use in uploading, downloading and flashing an AX-PENN (/ST7) REBOOT module.
To update AX-PENN (/ST7) firmware: 1. Attach your PC (personal computer) to the USB port of the AX-PENN (ST7) and REBOOT open the Advanced Flasher Program. 2. Press and hold the PROGRAM button. 3. Press the REBOOT button, the associated PROGRAM LED will illuminate.
