SATEL ACU-280 For detailed information about installation of individual devices, please refer to the manuals of the respective products. Registering devices to the controller Each wireless device, including the ARF-200 tester, must be registered to the controller. Before adding a device that was previously registered to the ABAX / ABAX 2 system, you must restart it (remove the battery / power the device off for 30 seconds).

ACU-280 SATEL list and then added to the system again, so as to fill up the gap in the list and reduce the number of zones reserved for wireless devices. In case of devices which, in addition to zones, also take up outputs, it is recommended that you add them to the system first.
SATEL ACU-280 Table 3 shows how the wireless devices should not be registered. The first siren output takes up position 8, and the second output occupies position 9. As a result, 16 outputs have been reserved for wireless devices in the system, although actually only 2 are used (the eighth output in the first group of 8 outputs and the first output in the second group of 8 outputs).

ACU-280 SATEL the same name will be given to the other zones. If the device is to be assigned to outputs, the outputs will be given the same name. 6.3. For some devices you can select if the device is to occupy one or two positions on the list of devices.
SATEL ACU-280 6. Press the key 1. 7. If you can select whether the device will take up one or two positions (channels) on the list of devices, a special message will inform you about it. Press the key 1 (the device will occupy 1 position) or the key 2 (the device will occupy 2 positions).
ACU-280 SATEL 6.1.2 Expander of wireless devices for the VERSA / VERSA Plus / VERSA IP control panel Data on wireless devices are stored in the controller. If you connect to the control panel a controller: with registered devices – during identification procedure, these devices will be automatically assigned to the system zones / outputs.
SATEL ACU-280 the same name will be given to the other zones. If the device is to be assigned to outputs, the outputs will be given the same name. 7.3. In the “Zone” field, select the number of the zone to which you want to assign the device (if you have not done this before or if you want to change the previously selected number).
ACU-280 SATEL 3. Click on the “Delete” button. 4. The “Confirm” window will open. 5. Click on the “Yes” button. 6. The “Confirm” window will close. 7. Click on the “Write” button to save changes to the controller (these data will not be saved after clicking on the button in the main menu).
SATEL ACU-280 Controller settings Fig. 10. DLOADX program: parameters and options of the controller connected to INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control panel. Name – individual name of device (up to 16 characters). Tamper signaled in partition [Tamper in part.] – partition where alarm will be triggered in the event of module tamper.
ACU-280 SATEL No automatic update of wireless devices firmware [No updates] – if this option is enabled, the firmware of wireless devices registered in the controller is not updated automatically (see “Updating the firmware of ABAX 2 wireless devices” p. 41).
SATEL ACU-280 Device settings ARU [Use ARU-100] – parameter available for a wireless device, if the ARU-200 repeater is registered in the controller (the controller is connected to the INTEGRA or INTEGRA Plus control panel). It allows you to define whether the device is to communicate to the controller directly, or via the selected ARU-200 repeater (several ARU-200 repeaters can be registered in the controller).

ACU-280 SATEL APD-100 (APD-200) – wireless passive infrared detector. You can configure sensitivity. APD-100 (APD-200 Pet) – wireless passive infrared detector with pet immunity up to 20 kg: you can configure sensitivity, do not configure the pet immunity option (the APD-200 Pet detector is always immune to the movement of pets).
SATEL ACU-280 Temp. corr. – you can correct the temperature information sent by the device by up to ±3.5°C. ECO – if this option is enabled, periodical communication with the device takes place every 3 minutes. Thus the battery life can be extended up to four times.

ACU-280 SATEL Operation of the detector is affected by the state of partition to which the zone belongs: partition disarmed – the detector operates in passive mode. This operating mode prolongs the battery life. Detector informs the controller about its status during periodical communication (only the tamper information is sent immediately).
SATEL ACU-280 The EN50131-3 standard requires that zones must react to signals lasting more than 400 ms. Therefore, select 400 ms when programming sensitivity of the alarm zones. Information on the state of zones and commands to change the state of outputs are sent immediately.

SATEL ACU-280 communication are working on this channel and what is the radio noise level. If there are any undesired radio signals which are comparable to or stronger than the signals from the ABAX 2 system, they will interfere with the system operation. This may result in a periodic loss of communication as well as quicker draining of the battery in wireless devices.

Remember to save the controller settings to file before the firmware update. 1. Download the ACU-280 controller firmware update program from www.satel.eu. 2. Connect the RS-232 (TTL) port of the controller to the USB port of the computer. To make the connection, use the USB-RS converter, offered by SATEL.
