5 4.3 Mounting Fig. 4.3a - Location of mounting screws Use the included 3/8" ear screws to attach a rack mount to both sides of the Alarm Panel unit. Each side of the unit has 6 slots for screws. Two near the front and 4 along the edge. See Fig. 4.3a for screw locations.
6 4.4 Power Connection The Alarm Panel has two screw terminal barrier plug power connectors, located on the left and right side of the back panel. WARNING! The Grounding Lug on the back of the unit provides a permanent connection to earth ground when connected. The Grounding Lug must be used in order to comply with certification standards.... Fig. 4.4a - Power A and Power B Before you connect a power supply to the Alarm Panel unit, test the voltage of your power supply: Connect the black common lead of a voltmeter to the ground terminal of the battery, and connect the red lead of the voltmeter to the battery's 48VDC / -60VDC terminal. The voltmeter should read between 36 and 72 VDC. If the reading is outside this range, test the power supply. To connect the Alarm Panel to a power supply, follow these steps: 1. Remove Fuse A and Fuse B from the back panel of the Alarm Panel. Do not reinsert the fuses until all connections to the unit have been made. 2. Use the grounding lug to connect the unit to earth ground. The grounding lug is next to the symbol. Insert the 1/4" eyelet of the earth ground cable (included green cable) between the two bolts on the grounding lug. Connect the other of the earth ground cable to a ground terminal. See Fig. 4.4b. Fig. 4.4b - Grounding Lug 3. Remove the WAGO power connector.

14 4.8 Buttons Fig. 4.8a - Reset and ACK buttons The front panel has two buttons. One small button for reset and a button for ACK (acknowledge alarms). These buttons perform three different functions: Acknowledge alarm. Alarms can be acknowledged by pressing the ACK button located near the speaker. Pressing the ACK button will stop audible alarms and will cause the large Critical, Major, Minor, and Power LEDs to stop blinking until another alarm is received or cleared. The ACK button will not clear alarms. Reset the unit. The Alarm Panel has a hardware reset button that can be accessed through a small hole near the speaker. A small pin, like a bent paper clip, is required to reach the reset button. Reset Provisioning. Provisioning can be restored back to the factory defaults by using both the reset button and the ACK button. The reset button provides a hard reset to the processor. Once the reset button is released, the processor will boot-up. During the boot-up, the processor will sample the ACK switch within about 20 seconds of the reset button being depressed. If the processor detects the pressed ACK switch during boot-up, the stored provisioning will be permanently reset until re-provisioned. To reset the provisioning, perform the following steps: 1. Use a bent paper clip to press and hold the reset button. 2. Press the ACK switch while holding in reset. 3. While keeping the ACK switch pressed, depress reset. 4. Continuously hold the ACK switch for about 20 seconds, or until the front LEDs begin to flash.
15 4.9 Speaker The internal speaker can be found on the front panel. The speaker will generate a beeping pattern when an alarm comes in until it clears or is acknowledged. The sound generated will always be for the alarm with the highest severity level with Critical being the highest and Power being the lowest. Alarm Level Speaker Pattern Critical Two short beeps followed by a pause. Major One beep followed by a pause. Minor Beeps for five seconds, then stops. Power Continuous tone. Note: Pressing the ACK button will silence the speaker until another alarm occurs.
16 5 Unit Configuration 5.1 Craft Port To make a local connection to the Alarm Panel, use the provided DB9M-DB9F cable to connect the COM port of your PC to the front or back panel craft port of the unit. Fig. 5.1a - Com port settings Select the following COM port options: Bits per second: 115200 Data bits: 8 Parity: None Stop bits: 1 Flow control: None Hot Tip! It is extremely important to set Flow Control to None. Flow control normally defaults to hardware in most terminal programs and this may not work correctly with the Alarm Panel. When a connection is established, press ESC to access the configuration menu.
17 5.2 TTY Interface The TTY interface is the Alarm Panel's built-in provision controls for basic configuration. Configure the Alarm Panel's Ethernet port settings, monitor the status of input alarms, operate control relay outputs, or control LEDs and audible. To use the TTY interface with the Alarm panel, all you need is a PC with terminal emulation software (i.e. Hyperterminal) and a serial connection to the Alarm Panel. Connect to the Alarm Panel via Craft Port on the front or back panel. Follow the settings provided in Section 5.1 (Craft Port). When the connection has been established, press ESC to bring up the TTY menu. The unit may already be responding by sending "U" before pressing ESC. If the menu does not show up, make sure the connection's baud rate is set to 115200. Make sure the craft port connection is firmly in place. Press any key in Hyperterminal and make sure the Craft Port RX LED blinks green. This means that the Alarm Panel is receiving data. Also check if the Craft Port TX LED is blinking green. This means that the Alarm Panel is sending data that should be displayed to the screen. 5.2.1 Menu Shortcut Keys The letters before or enclosed in parentheses ( ) are menu hotkeys. Press the hotkey to select the option. Pressing the ESC key will always bring you back to the previous level. Hotkeys are not case sensitive. Fig. 5.2.1a - TTY Main Menu Stats will display system statistics and info. RAM will run tests on the unit's SRAM memory. LED will run tests for the processor controlled LEDs. Switch will test the ACK button and the internal DIP switches to make sure the buttons/switches are being read properly. Inputs will test the Alarm In port. Outputs will test the Alarm Out port. Speaker will test the speaker. Ethernet will display current Ethernet settings and will configure the IP address. This will also initialize the LAN connection. NVRam will run a test on the unit's non-volatile memory by writing to it and reading back test patterns. RTC will test the internal real time clock and can be used to test the RTC battery. Analogs will display the current voltage readings from Power A and Power B. Advance contains more advance tests not normally required for Production units. Reboot will reboot the unit.
18 5.2.2 Ethernet Port Setup In order to access the Alarm Panel via LAN, the unit must be assigned an IP address. Follow the instructions below to configure the Alarm Panel's static IP address. From the top most menu, press "E" for Ethernet. The current NET interface settings should be displayed with a sub-menu for IPA and PING. Fig. 5.2.2a - Ethernet Menu Press "I" for IPA. You should now be prompted to enter an new IP address. Enter the new IP address and press Enter.
19 Fig. 5.2.2b - Entering the IP address The new IP address should now display back onto the terminal screen.
20 6 Operation A windows utility can monitor the Alarm Panel while it is in EMI mode. This is used to test the unit's LEDs, audible sounds and alarm in and out. 6.1 EMI Mode If DIP switch 1 is on, the unit should automatically startup in EMI mode. The front LEDs will blink one at a time and cycle from left to right. When the last LED blinks, it will light up all LEDs before going back to the first LED. If the LEDs are not cycling, connect to the unit's TTY interface at 115200 baud and check if DIP switch 1 is on (press "W" for s(w)itch then DIP). If it's already ON, power cycle the alarm panel and it should start up in EMI mode. If it's OFF, open the unit and switch DIP into the ON position. EMI mode can also be enabled without using DIP switch 1. This can be done through the TTY interface (see section 5.1 and 5.2). From the TTY interface's top most menu (should have entries for S)tatus R)AM F)lash L)ED...) press "D" for advance then "E" for EMI. Ethernet settings may need to be setup prior to running EMI mode if DIP switch 1 is in the OFF position. Make sure the Alarm Panel has the proper connections. This setup requires a LAN connection to a PC with HWDiagW software utility installed and a loopback cable that would tie Alarm In with Alarm Out. See Fig. 6.1a. Fig. 6.1a - Overview of connections for EMI mode Use the provided loopback cable for Alarm In and Alarm Out. The end for Alarm In and Alarm Out should be labeled differently. This will enable the windows software to verify that both Alarm In and Alarm Out are working properly. Output relays will cycle one at a time from 1 to 6, and in groups when in EMI mode. Note: The loopback cable does not normally ship with the Alarm Panel.
21 Make sure the unit has a LAN cable connected to the LAN connector on the back of the unit and that the green LED for LNK is solid green. Define the unit's IP address. See section 5.2.2. If the unit is in EMI mode, press ESC twice on the TTY interface to display the menu. Define the IP Address and press ESC. Put the unit back into EMI mode by pressing "D" for advance then "E" to enter EMI mode. If DIP switch 1 is on, power cycling the unit will also cause it to start up in EMI mode.
22 6.1.1 Windows Software Install HWDiagW on a Windows machine. This can be found in the Alarm Panel Resource disk. This will allow monitoring of EMI mode data from the Alarm Panel. Make sure you can ping the Alarm Panel from the PC from where the software is installed. Start HWDiagW by clicking on the HWDiagW icon on your desktop or under Programs->DPSTelecom>HWDiagW. Set the program's communication settings for the Alarm Panel by clicking on File -> Settings. Fig. 6.1.1a - File menu Go down to the IP Address field and enter the IP address of the Alarm Panel. Port should be set to 2001, DCP Addr should be set to 1. Poll Delay is configurable and will affect how often HWDiagW will retrieve data from the Alarm Panel. Fig. 6.1.1b - Communication Settings Press the Save button to save the settings then click on the Start button on the main interface. An indicator next to "Status" will rotate when the program is running.
23 If the loopback cable is inserted properly, points 1 to 6 should display a dot one at a time and in groups. The dot indicates that the unit was able to read the alarm condition from the output relays which should be cycling while in EMI mode. Point 9 would also have a dot to indicate that DIP switch 1 is in the ON position. Fig. 6.1.1c - HWDiagW interface The program will display when Alarms 1-6 are set, when DIP switches 1-4 are on, when the ACK switch is pressed, and the analog values for Power A and Power B. It also displays the status of the connection between the application and the Alarm Panel and how many polls it has successfully completed.
24 7 Updating Firmware New firmware can be loaded to the unit via FTP or serially via ComloaderW. New firmware and ComLoaderW (software for Windows PC) can be found at http://my.dpstele.com 7.1 FTP Method If the Alarm Panel is accessible on the network, then new firmware can be sent to the unit via FTP.
