MERLIN STEALTH MASTER Introduction INTRODUCTION This manual must read and used in conjunction with the Merlin Stealth Installer manual. The Merlin Stealth Energizer™ range of energizers are configurable to be part of a networked security system. This enables control and monitoring of multiple energizers from one central location or from any location in the world with internet access.

Permits energizers to become part of a local area network or to be accessed remotely. A range of communication protocols have been incorporated to provide flexibility / security and connectivity. Visit www.nemtek.com for more information and contact details.
32 devices before some buffering is required. Unlike RS485, fiber-optics is always configured point to point with only two devices being connected. The standard Nemtek fiber-optic components have a range of 3km. (It is possible to extend this to 20km.) 3.
MERLIN STEALTH MASTER Defaulting the Energizers DEFAULTING THE ENERGIZERS Before the energizers can be configured into a network all energizers have to be put into their factory default condition. The Master energizer can only be defaulted with a 20 zone Keypad and the Slave energizer can be defaulted only with a 1 or 2 zone Keypad.
MERLIN STEALTH MASTER Converter card settings CONVERTER CARD SETTINGS There are two converter cards available for the communication interface between the energizers. 1) The Stealth RS 485 converter card. The card converts RS485 to RS 232. 2) The Stealth Fibre Optic converter card.
MERLIN STEALTH MASTER Converter card settings To decide if Jumper 1 should be inserted ask the question if the converter does not repeat the signal will a message from the Master reach the Slaves and will a message from the Slaves reach the Master.
MERLIN STEALTH MASTER Programming the Network PROGRAMMING THE NETWORK 1) Default all the energizers as described under defaulting the energizer. 2) Enter the Installer Pin on the Master energizer (see Merlin Stealth Installer manual). 3) If the converter card connected to the Master RS232 port connects to the energizers...
MERLIN STEALTH MASTER Programming the energizers PROGRAMMING THE INDIVIDUAL ENERGIZERS After the network is programmed the Master and Slave units can now individual be programmed to suit the requirements i.e. gate delay times, siren on times, fence alarm voltage etc.
