Document: LT0379 ASE Mk2 User Manual Internal Controls & Indicators If the RSSI button is pressed for at least 5 seconds, the ASE logs off the radio network and to indicate this condition the column of Status LEDs will flash at 1 Hz. The flashing continues for 2 minutes, or until the RSSI button is pressed again, at which point the ASE will attempt to log on to the radio network again.

ASE Mk2 User Manual Document: LT0379 Diagnostic Operation INTRODUCTION The ASE Mk2 provides diagnostic functions via its serial port (J22) to a connected terminal or PC running a terminal emulator program. There are two types of diagnostics. On initial power up the monitor mode starts and waits for 5 seconds for a password. If there is no, or an invalid, password entered the monitor terminates and starts the ASE program.
CTRL-R and CTRL-N, which work as soon as these keys are pressed. A space should be used to separate the command from any parameter values entered. These commands must be used only by, or under the guidance of, Johnson Controls R&D or Product Support staff.

ASE Mk2 User Manual Document: LT0379 Diagnostic Operation The next section shows the current mains power DC voltage, usually around 22-24V, and the battery voltages. The Mains status is NORMAL if the voltage is greater than 14.0V, and FAIL if not. These numbers are the voltages x 10, so you need to divide the numbers shown by 10 to give the real reading.

ASE Mk2 User Manual Document: LT0379 Diagnostic Operation ASE Message Enabled (/Disabled) indicates that ASE messages to the primary CMS are enabled/disabled on the Ethernet port. Remote Panel Access Enabled (/Disabled) indicates if remote panel access is enabled on the Ethernet port (refer Section 3.4.8). ASE Diagnostic Enabled (/Disabled) indicates if remote ASE diagnostics is enabled/disabled over the Ethernet port.
To set the baud rate to 19200. To set the baud rate to 38400. Contact Johnson Controls for the IP port number to use for remote panel access. Alternatively, the ASE’s port can be used for capturing the panel’s printer event log and sending the text to the CMS using the 174 Error messages.

ASE Mk2 User Manual Document: LT0379 Modbus Interface INTRODUCTION The ASE Mk2 with V10 firmware onwards allows its status and its SGD status to be monitored by a local building management or other computer system supports the Modbus protocol over Ethernet port.
Document: LT0379 ASE Mk2 User Manual Modbus Interface INPUT STATUS The ASE uses the Read Input Status (02) command to return the current status of the ASE and its 16 SGDs. 4.4.1 ASE STATUS INPUTS 16 status inputs are used to return the status of the ASE as shown in Table 4.2. Table 4.2.
ASE Mk2 User Manual Document: LT0379 Modbus Interface 4.4.2 SGD STATUS INPUTS 16 inputs are used for the status of each of the 16 SGDs as shown in Table 4.3. Table 4.3. SGD Status Inputs (for each SGD) Input SGD Address A Status Address 16 x A CONFIGURED...
Document: LT0379 ASE Mk2 User Manual Modbus Interface INPUT REGISTERS The ASE uses the Read Input Registers (04) command to return the current status of the ASE and its 16 SGDs and other ASE parameters as registers as shown in Table 4. Table 4.4.
ASE Mk2 User Manual Document: LT0379 Modbus Interface PROCESSING THE SGD STATUS The recommended processing of the SGD status is as follows: Check the status of the CONFIGURED input. If set to Off (0) then the SGD is not configured in the ASE. Check the SGD POLL FAIL input.
