Satel CA-64 EPS - Zone Expander With Power Supply Manual

FEATURES

The CA-64 EPS zone expander can be used in conjunction with CA-64, INTEGRA and VERSA control panels. This manual applies to the expander with electronics version 2.3 and firmware version 4.00 (or newer).

• 8 programmable zones:
  • support for NO and NC type detectors, as well as roller shutter motion detectors and vibration detectors;
  • support for single EOL and double EOL loops.
• Programmable end-of-line resistors value.
• Additional tamper input, NC type.
• 1.2 A switching-mode power supply.

1. a set of DIP-switches (see: DIP-SWITCHES).
2. STATUS LED:
   • blinking – data exchange with the panel;
   • illuminated – no communication with the control panel.
3. pins to set up the battery charging current:
   • pins shorted – 350 mA
   • pins open – 700 mA
4. leads to connect the battery (12 V lead-acid sealed battery). If the battery voltage drops below 11 V for longer than 12 minutes (3 battery tests), the expander will indicate battery failure. When the voltage goes down to approx. 9.5 V, the battery will be disconnected.

Description of the terminals:
Z1...Z8 – zones.
COM – common ground.
TMP – t amper loop input (NC) – if no tamper contact is connected to this terminal, it should be shorted to common ground.
CLK – clock.
DTA – data.
+12V – p ower supply output. A device requiring 12 V DC supply can be connected to this output. The sum of the currents consumed by the devices supplied from the expander and the battery charging currents must not exceed the power supply output current.
AC – power supply input (required transformer: 18 V AC, 40 VA).

DIP-SWITCHES

Use the switches 1-5 to set an address. The address must be different from that of the other modules connected to the communication bus of alarm control panel. In case of interaction with the VERSA control panel, an address from the 12 (0Ch) to 14 (0Eh) range must be set. In order to determine the expander address, add up the values set on individual switches as shown in Table.

*for switch in ON position

The switches 6 and 7 must be set to OFF position.

Use the switch 8 to define how the expander will be identified by the control panel:

OFF – CA-64 EPS. The expander does not support roller shutter motion detectors and vibration detectors. Programming the end-of-line resistors value is not available.

ON – CA-64 EPSi. The expander supports roller shutter motion detectors and vibration detectors. Programming the end-of-line resistors value is available (make sure that a suitable value is programmed).

INSTALLATION AND START-UP

Disconnect power before making any electrical connections. Never connect two devices with a power supply unit to one transformer.
Before connecting the transformer to a 230 V AC circuit, make sure the circuit is de-energized.
Never connect a discharged battery to the expander (when the voltage across battery terminals without a load connected is lower than 11 V).

The expander should be installed indoors, in spaces with normal humidity of air. The connections should be made with the typical unscreened straight-through cable (using the „twisted pair" type of cable is not recommended).
