Document Number LT0543
General Description
This guide provides a summary for installing and configuring the Centaur
V5 software. It should be used in conjunction with the Centaur
TM
The Centaur
II Dual 3G ASE directly supports up to four fire alarm panels or sprinkler systems, and another 12 systems via
Slave ASEs, each using an FAS input to send Alarm, Fault, and Isolate signals to the ASE. The ASE combines this information
together with its own status and sends it to a control and monitoring system (CMS) using two radio modems.
The ASE is powered from a fire alarm panel at 12 or 24Vdc.
Antenna
To 12 V or 24 V
power supply
( Usually fire alarm
panel )
Checking the Kit
Before commencing installation, please ensure that the following items are present and undamaged:
1 x Centaur II Dual 3G ASE
1 x plastic bag containing 2 x body plugs, 3 x 4 way plugs and 4 screws for mounting the front cover.
The following will also be needed (provided separately to the ASE):
2 x antenna and lead
1 x Telstra SIM card
1 x Optus SIM card (backup radio link)
1 x Operating Instructions
FAS interface units FP0740/2/3 as required for each fire system.
Before Applying Power
-
Check that the ASE has received no visible damage during shipment.
Check the SIM cards are fitted properly.
-
Connect the aerial leads from the back box to the radio modems (refer to Fig 2).
-
Warning
Do not insert the micro SIM cards with the power applied to the ASE. Always turn off the power before inserting or removing the
SIMs.
V5 Software
With V5 software the Key Isolate function has been removed from the ASE, as it is not permitted under AS 1670.3:2018. A
white label has been fitted to the front label to cover the description of the Key Isolate function.

If the key is removed, and in input is in alarm, the ASE will beep and flash the TEST MODE LED for 15 seconds. Reinserting the key during the 15 second period will restart Test Mode with a new timeout and prevent the alarm from being sent to the CMS.
