Alarm Signalling Equipment - CDMA version FP0932
Important – consult with ADT about the proper decommissioning of the existing system before
General Description
This guide provides a summary of the technical details for installing and configuring the ASE Mk2-16. It should be
used in conjunction with the ASE Mk2 User Manual (LT0379) and the ADT commissioning document(s) for this
product.
The ASE Mk2-16 is used to replace an LTX-16 or where more than two standard SGDs are to be connected. It
supports up to sixteen fire alarm panels or sprinkler systems, each using an SGD to send Fire, Defect, Isolate
and Test signals to the ASE. The ASE combines this information together with its own status and sends it to the
ADT central monitoring system (CMS) using the in-built CDMA radio modem, or if this is not available, the backup
telephone line.
The ASE Mk2-16 is powered from the 230Vac mains via its internal power supply unit, and it includes a 2A
charger for the 12V battery that provides power when the mains power fails.
Checking the kit
Before commencing installation, please ensure that the following items are present and undamaged:
1 x ASE Mk2-16
1 x antenna
1 x plastic bag containing 2 x body plugs, 1 x telephone lead, 1 x door key.
1 x mains label, "DO NOT UNPLUG OR TURN OFF"
1x 12V 17AH battery supplied separately
Before applying power from the battery or mains:
-
Check that the circuit boards are undamaged.
-
Check that the mains cable is undamaged.
-
Check that the radio modem is correctly seated on its four standoffs.
-
Connect the antenna.
-
Confirm that the jumper links on the power supply board and SGD Mux Board are positioned as shown in
Figure 2 and Table 1 respectively.
Confirm that a suitable mains power point and a phone socket are available before proceeding.
Installation
Part A – Selecting antenna position for best signal
Correct positioning and installation of the antenna is critical. For best results the antenna should be positioned
above head height, and clear of conductive objects and likely sources of interference such as electrical or
electronic equipment and wiring. To determine if the signal strength is adequate at a given location:
Screw the antenna into the socket on the top of the ASE Mk2-16 case and position the ASE in the desired
-
installation location.
Connect the battery ensuring that the correct 12V BATT connections on the ASE are being used (refer Fig
-
2) or plug in the mains lead and switch on. Wait at least 15 seconds (the Power Fault LED will flash if the
battery is not yet connected).
-
Press the RSSI button for at least 1 second (refer Fig 2). The Status LED array will now act as a signal-
strength bar graph for the radio modem for 2 minutes. More LEDs on = stronger signal. Refer to Table 5 for
details of the RSSI value shown on the LEDs. Note that it may take 10-20 seconds for a valid RSSI to be
established.
-
Move the antenna until the maximum signal strength is obtained. Note that it takes about 5 seconds for the
LEDs to update after moving the antenna.
If the signal strength indication is too low, the antenna must be repositioned and/or changed. Refer to the ADT
ASE Mk2 commissioning documentation for information about acceptable signal levels and antenna choices.

- Page 1 The ASE Mk2-16 is used to replace an LTX-16 or where more than two standard SGDs are to be connected. It supports up to sixteen fire alarm panels or sprinkler systems, each using an SGD to send Fire, Defect, Isolate and Test signals to the ASE.
- Page 2 Installation Part B – Mounting and wiring The ASE Mk2-16 unit must be placed in a location where it can be accessed by service staff and where the antenna and mains cable can be readily attached and conveniently routed. The ASE Mk2-16 should be wall- mounted in reach of the phone socket and mains socket.

- Page 4 Each SGD’s address and operating mode (Standard or Multidrop), and the ASE’s RS485 port that it is wired to, must match the settings programmed into ADT’s CMS. When using standard mode the SGD address must match the SGD Mux Board port number it is wired to.
- Page 5 Fitting a Second Mux SGD Board (Ports 9-16) As standard, the second SGD Mux Board for SGD ports 9-16 is not included in the ASE Mk2-16. A kit (part number FP0936) must be obtained and fitted to provide SGD ports 9-16.
- Page 6 A standard two-metre telephone lead is supplied with the ASE Mk2-16. This cable is suitable for connection to a BT wall socket. Figure 5 shows the wiring of the BT socket (master, slave, or 2-wire) when the ASE is the only device on the line.
- Page 7 Note that OC2- is used to control the battery testing on the power supply and must not be disconnected or used for any other purpose. Mains Fuse The ASE Mk2-16 has a 1A fuse in the mains terminal block. If this fuse blows, replace it with a fuse of the same rating. DTE Number The DTE number is the unique identifier for each ASE Mk2-16.
- Page 8 Rapid Flashing is shown as 0.1 second on, 0.1 second off, repeating, and continues until a response is received from the CMS, or the ASE Mk2-16 decides an error has occurred, or it times out waiting for a response. The 1, 2 or 3 flashes are shown as a sequence of 1, 2 or 3 x 0.2 second flashes, separated by 0.3 seconds, repeating every 2 seconds.
- Page 9 RSSI values are being shown will cancel the RSSI display and force the ASE Mk2-16 to attempt to communicate with the CMS (if one is configured). Note that while a CDMA version of the ASE Mk2-16 is in RSSI mode, it cannot communicate with the CMS using the radio modem.
