    About Expansion Options About Option Cards About Expansion Options The JACE-6 controller provides for field-installable expansion with two kinds of options: Option cards—Install on connectors inside the controller base unit. See “About Option Cards”. • Accessory modules—To “chain” on the JACE-6’s 20-pin end connector. See “About Accessory •...
  • Page 9 About Expansion Options About Option Cards Table 1 JACE-6 option cards. (continued) Model Description Notes NPB-SRAM Provides “battery-less” operation. Requires AX-3.6 or later. Does not use/affect COM port operaton. Card has static RAM (SRAM) and integral backup capacitor for data Note: Use requires removing NiMH battery pack and any external 12V storage during power lost periods.
  • Page 10: About Accessory Modules

    About Expansion Options About Accessory Modules About Accessory Modules The JACE-6 controller has a 20-pin, right-angle, Euro-DIN connector that accepts custom-built accessory modules. The connector provides power and signal lines to any connected modules, and is located on the end of the JACE-6 opposite to the option cards.
  • Page 11: Wiring Details

    Wiring Details Grounding Wiring Details Figure 3 on page 7 to locate connectors and other components on the JACE-6 controller. If biasing is needed for the controller's RS-485 base port, controller disassembly and reassembly is Note needed. See “RS-485 Biasing,” page 16.
  • Page 12 Wiring Details Power Wiring If desired, you can use the wall mount WPM-XXX in your office (to initially commission the JACE-6), and then install the JACE-6 at the job using either a NPB-PWR or NPB-PWR-UN module. The following sections provide more details: NPB-PWR (24Vac/dc-powered in-line module) •...
  • Page 13 Wiring Details Power Wiring NPB-PWR-UN The NPB-PWR-UN module lets you power the JACE-6 (and if installed, IO-16 modules) from AC line power, with a universal input range from 90–263Vac. If installing IO-16 modules, the NPB-PWR-UN installs as the last (end) module in the chain. See Figure 1 on page 6.
  • Page 14: Communications Wiring

    Wiring Details Communications Wiring WPM-XXX All models of wall power modules (US, EUR, UK, JA) are self-contained, isolated, switching power supplies designed to plug into a standard building power receptacle of appropriate voltage. To supply power to the JACE-6, you then simply plug the barrel connector plug from the WPM-XXX into the barrel power connector on the JACE-6 base board (see Figure 6 on page 14).
  • Page 15 Wiring Details Communications Wiring Serial There are two serial ports on the JACE-6 base unit. Each has a UART capable of operation up to 115,200 baud. At the bottom of the board (see Figure 6), the left port is an RS-232 port using a DB-9 plug (male) connector.
  • Page 16 Wiring Details RS-485 Biasing RS-485 Biasing The RS-485 port on the controller’s base board has a pair of two-pin jumpers that can be shorted with jumper blocks to provide “biasing”. As shipped from the factory, these pins are not shorted, thus the RS-485 port is unbiased.
  • Page 17 Wiring Details RS-485 Biasing If the controller is already installed or mounted, it is recommended that you remove it first. Then work on a flat, stable, and well-lit work surface. Figure 7 Basic stages of controller disassembly. Cover removed, reveals metal shield Philips head screws...
  • Page 18 Wiring Details RS-485 Biasing Carefully pry up the NPM-6 board, noting that the two-row, 50-pin connector is on the option card Step 6 side. Keep the board level as you work it loose from this connector. Set the NPM board aside. Note the jumper block on the base board behind the RS-485 port. Step 7 Procedure 5 Installing shorting blocks to add RS-485 biasing.
  • Page 19: Power Up And Initial Checkout

    Power Up and Initial Checkout Connect the Backup Battery Power Up and Initial Checkout Ensure power wiring to the JACE-6 controller is ready—see the “Power Wiring” section on page 11. Refer to Figure 3 on page 7 for the locations of the JACE-6 battery connector, status LEDs and barrel power connector (for WPM-XXX only).
  • Page 20: Using Status Leds

    Using Status LEDs Check the Status LEDs Check the Status LEDs When power is applied, the green LED labeled “STATUS” will light. This indicates that the system is OK and that power is applied. Once the JACE-6 boots, the yellow “BEAT” (heartbeat) LED will begin blinking, with a typical rate of about 1 Hz.
  • Page 21: Serial Ports

    Maintaining the JACE-6 Heartbeat Heartbeat The “BEAT” LED is located to the right of the Ethernet status LEDs, and is yellow. Under normal operation, this LED should blink about once per second. If the heartbeat LED stays on constantly, does not light, or blinks very fast (more than once per second), contact System Engineering for technical support.
  • Page 22: Required Battery Maintenance

    Maintaining the JACE-6 Required Battery Maintenance Required Battery Maintenance Battery life expectancy is a function of its discharge cycles (the number of discharges and their depth) and the ambient temperature of the battery during normal operation. In most applications, the battery should see relatively few discharges.
  • Page 23: Non-Replaceable Parts

    Replacement Parts Non-replaceable Parts Replacement Parts Servicing the JACE-6 controller may call for replacement parts. There are three categories of parts: Non-replaceable Parts • Standard Replacement Parts • New Replacement Units • Non-replaceable Parts Other than the parts listed in the replacement parts sections, there are no serviceable components on the base assembly.
