Version 102 Firmware Update

Effective December 29, 1997 the DMP Model 485 Expansion Card is being shipped from the factory with Firmware Version 102
(12/22/97). This is an update from the original firmware shipped and contains new additional operational features to the Model
485 Access Control Expansion Card. The paragraph numbers indicated are contained in the XR200 Programming Guide LT-0196
(9/97).

New Firmware Features

16 Access Doors
The number of addresses that can be programmed for the keypad bus has been increased to 16. This allows 16 access doors.
Keypads and the Weigand Interface Modules CAN BE USED ON ANY ADDRESS. The XR200 Programming Guide LT-0196
(9/97) states that keypads cannot be used on addresses 9-16. This is no longer the case.
Additionally, certain device functions are programmed in address pairs; 1-9, 2-10, 3-11, 4-12, 5-13, 6-14, 7-15, 8-16. These
options include Partition (4.4), Access Keypad Reports (6.7), Menu Display (9.1), Status List (10.1), Prewarn (13.14), and
Presignal (13.17). In each of these options only addresses 1-8 are programmable. If 1 is selected then address 9 is also selected.
If 2 is selected, then 10 is also selected, and so forth.
Currently, if address 16 is used a 690 keypad is required. The Model 733 Weigand Interface Module is selectable to a maximum
address of 15. The next release of Model 733 Weigand Interface Module will increase the address range to 16.
Schedules
ON/OFF schedules can be entered for each of the 16 access doors relays by the end user (see LT-0364 User's Guide, page 20).
Door strike operation
The door strike activation time is programmable for each of the 16 access doors from 1 to 250 seconds (see section 4.7).
Fire Exit
A continuous door strike because of Fire, Fire Verify, or Supervisory Zone alarm is programmable by door (see section 4.8).
Anti-Passback
Anti-Passback operation can be selected by either user or door (see section 4.5, 4.6 and LT-0364 User's Guide, page 18).
User code batch entry
A fast batch entry mode has been added for programming new access cards to the system (see LT-0364 User's Guide, page 17,
step 10).
Door propped
A door open alert by zone with an alarm message is added that reports to the Central Station (see section 13.9A).
Area arming
When Closing Wait = YES in Area Information programming (UL Ringback), and an area(s) become armed during a Remote
Access™ session, the panel will terminate the session to allow a closing message to be sent to the alarm receiver. Previously, when
Closing Wait = Yes and the panel was connected to Remote Access™ and an Area(s) was armed by a user, the panel did not send
a disconnect message to Remote Access™ nor automatically disconnect after 20 seconds. Also, after 90 seconds LOCAL ALARM
ONLY was displayed just before the panel armed.
Trouble Alert Manual Silence
When a trouble buzzer at a device is on, pressing any key will turn the buzzer off. Previously, the buzzer could be turned off by
pressing only a top row key on the keypad. Also, for conditions where only a top row key must be pressed to initiate the next action,
such as Closing Time Extend, any key can be pressed on the keypad to initiate the action.
