AssistCallPro Master Control Module
1 Product Overview
The Assist Call Network has been designed around a total network solution, so all modules have inbuilt networking
capabilities. There are four modules available for use with the system; ViAC-ACT touchscreen display module
(hereafter referred to as ACT), the ViAC-4ZC 4-zone control module (hereafter referred to as 4ZC), the ViAC-PSU
power supply module (hereafter referred to as PSU), and the ViAC-RLY relay module (hereafter referred to as RLY).
Any Assist Call Pro system must have at least one ACT on the network to allow for configuration of the system, and to
act as a master display for the system. Additional ACT modules can be used wherever indication or control is required
and can be filtered to only show certain alarms if necessary.
The network should be wired in a ring, but can work in a line if required., and the alarms are wired radially from the
4-zone control modules. Up to 56 modules can be present on the network, up to 16 each for 4ZCs, RLYs and PSUs,
and up to 8 ACTs. Each 4ZC has inputs for 4 alarms, allowing a maximum of 64 alarms on the network. The network
has auto learn, hereafter referred to as Network Discovery, this gives a schematic view of the system network wiring.

DO NOT TURN OFF” Anti-static handling guidelines Make sure that electrostatic handling precautions are taken immediately before handling PCBs and other static sensitive components. -
Page 3: Addressing Modules
5 Addressing and cabling 5.1 Addressing Modules On the Assist Call Pro network, modules are addressed per module type. This means that you can have control modules that are addressed 1, 2, 3, and 4, and then also have power modules addressed 1, 2, and 3. Two modules of the same type cannot have the same address. - Page 4 The Assist Call Pro network system is compatible with the Distance from Cable Type Size full range of Vox Ignis Assist Alarms.

6 Example System The simplest Assist Call Pro network setup can handle up to 8 alarms and requires four modules, 1 ACT, 1PSU and 2 4ZCs. In this case the PSU will be located next to one of the 4ZC modules, with the other 4ZC and the ACT located where they need to be. - Page 6 Assist Call Assist Call Assist Call 4ZC2 Assist Call Cancel ACCEPT Assist Call Assist Call Assist Call Cancel Assist Call Assist Call Assist Call Cancel Assist Call Assist Call Assist Call Assist Call Cancel Assist Call Assist Call Assist Call PSU1 4ZC1 Assist Call...

7 Commissioning The commissioning should be carried out by a competent person who has a basic knowledge and understanding of the design and installation and has access to the specification of the project. 7.1 Login Screen The login screen is shown when the icon is pressed on the home screen. - Page 8 7.2 Network Overview Screen The network overview screen is shown when pressing the icon on the Settings Screen. It gives a view of the modules that have been found by a network discovery (See 8.2.4 Network Discovery) and is the starting point for configuring the modules on the Assist Call Pro network.
- Page 9 7.2.1 Diagnostics and Discovery Screen The diagnostics and discovery screen is shown when the icon is pressed on the network overview screen (Figure 13). It gives the user options to show either the address, or network fault diagnostics on ViAC-4ZC and ViAC-RLY panels, and allows the user to run a network discovery.
- Page 10 7.2.3 Module Address Diagnostics When the “Address” button is selected, and the user is on the Diagnostics and Discovery Screen (as in Figure 15), the 4ZCs and RLYs on the network will show their address using the four status LEDs. This allows someone to easily see the address of the module, without having to remove it from the wall and look at the dipswitch.
- Page 11 7.3 Module Settings Screen The Module Settings screen is shown when one of the module icons is pressed on the Network Overview screen (Figure 13). On the screen is the module that is currently being edited, and the modules connected to the net in and out ports of that module.
