1. GENERAL
The ACU-100 controller allows communication between any alarm control panel and the
ABAX system wireless devices. It enables wire-operated security systems to be expanded by
addition of wireless devices. The ABAX system is based on two-way communication. All
messages sent by the devices are acknowledged, which ensures that the equipment status
information will reach the controller and allows online check of the devices for their presence
in the system. Configuration of parameters and testing of the wireless devices is performed
by radio, without the need to dismantle their housings. Coded communication between the
units takes place within the frequency band of 868.0 MHz – 868.6 MHz.
2. DESCRIPTION OF ACU-100 WIRELESS SYSTEM CONTROLLER
The ACU-100 controller supervises and coordinates operation of up to 48 wireless devices.
The status of devices is signaled on the OC type outputs. It can also be transmitted to the
control panel through the communication bus.
The controller settings and wireless equipment parameters are programmed by means of an
LCD keypad or a PC computer.

The tamper contact reacts to of the controller housing being opened. You can use the TMP
terminals in two ways:
•connect the terminals to the tamper circuit of the control panel;
•connect one of the TMP terminals to the ITMP tamper circuit input, and the other to the
COM ground terminal – information of the controller tamper will be fed to the TPR output
and to the communication bus.
Note: If the TMP terminals are not connected to the controller tamper circuit, the ITMP
terminal must be shorted to the common ground.
The package of DIP-switches on the board is used to set individual addresses of the
devices and to configure some working parameters of the controller (see FUNCTIONS OF DIP-
SWITCHES).
The LED indicates the controller status. The mode of lighting depends on the controller
working configuration:
•interaction with CA-64, INTEGRA or VERSA alarm control panels:
−green steady light – no communication with the control panel;
−green blinking light – correct communication with the control panel.
•interaction with other alarm control panels:
−green steady light – normal operation of the controller;
−green blinking light – synchronization in the process;
−alternate green and red blinking light – occurrence of one of the problems signaled on
functional outputs (see: FUNCTIONAL OUTPUTS).
The buzzer informs of occurrence of one of the problems signaled on functional outputs (it
does not apply to the controller interfacing with the INTEGRA or VERSA series alarm control
panels).
The RS-232 port with optoisolation enables a PC computer with DLOAD10 program to be
connected for the time of programming.
The RJ socket is used to connect an LCD keypad for the time of programming. The
controller interfaces with LCD keypads for operating the CA-64 or INTEGRA series control
panels.
Notes:
•The controller cannot be simultaneously programmed by means of computer and LCD
keypad.
•When working with the INTEGRA or VERSA alarm control panels, the controller can be
programmed by means of the control panel, with no need for connecting the keypad or
computer to the controller sockets.
The communication bus (CLK, DAT) of the controller enables direct connection to the
control panel communication bus (INTEGRA, VERSA, CA-64, CA-10) or expansion of the
system by adding the ACX-100 input/output expansion modules.

2.3 CONTROL INPUTS
If the controller is working as an expander with the INTEGRA or VERSA control
panel, you are not required to know how the control inputs operate, because
they need not be connected to the control panel (all information will be sent to
the control panel via communication bus).

ACU-100 SATEL 7
The ACU-100 PCB incorporates 4 control inputs dedicated to controlling the operation of
wireless devices (detectors, sirens, etc.).The controller inputs can be programmed as NO
(normally open) or NC (normally shorted to ground). Changing the input status (shorting to or
isolating from ground) has effect on operation of the wireless devices controlled by that input
(for each wireless device registered in the controller you must indicate an input which will
control its operation).
The number of inputs can be increased by connecting the ACX-100 expansion modules to
the controller. The number of control inputs in the ABAX system can be up to 24 (controller +
5 ACX-100 modules).
In order to control the ACU-100 controller inputs you can use any alarm control panel outputs
(OC, high-current, low-current, relay type). Where the control is effected by means of the
high-current output of a SATEL-made control panel, it is necessary to connect a 1.1kΩ
resistor to the controller input (see Fig. 2).

panel to the control input.
The control panel outputs which are to control the ACU-100 controller inputs should be
properly configured (their type, polarity, cutoff time, etc.). The type of wireless devices whose
operation is controlled by the input must be primarily taken into account.
To control operation of the wireless detectors, the control panel output can be programmed
e.g. as the ARM STATUS. Arming the control panel will switch the detectors into the active
mode, and disarming – into the passive mode (detector operating modes are described in
section WIRELESS DETECTORS IN ABAX SYSTEM). It should be remembered that
activation/deactivation of the detectors is delayed in relation to arming/disarming (see:
WIRELESS DETECTORS IN ABAX SYSTEM).
By having programmed the exit time in the control panel, you can avoid delay in activating
the detectors in relation to arming. The output programmed as the ARM STATUS will only get
active after expiry of the exit time. However, some control panels allow you to choose
another function, which activates the output immediately after arming command is given to
1.1 kΩ
OUT4 – reversed polarity (0 V
when active)
AR1 – NO type

Two-way wireless system ABAX ACU-1008
the control panel. For example, the output can be programmed in the CA-10 as type 35:
POWER SUPPLY ON ARMED MODE, and in the CA-64 as type 42: POWER SUPPLY IN ARMED STATE.
The delay effect in activating the detectors as against the arming can only be avoided when
the exit time exceeds the RESPONSE PERIOD.
When controlling the detectors, the input of the controller can also be programmed as always
active. In this case the detectors will remain permanently in active state.
In order to control the operation of sirens, you should connect the control panel alarm
signaling output to the controller input. Activating the control panel output will trigger the
siren.
2.4 OUTPUTS
If the controller is working as an expander with the INTEGRA, VERSA or CA-64
control panels, you are not required to know how the outputs operate, because
they need not be connected to the control panel (information from wireless
devices will be sent to the control panel via communication bus).
The PCB of the ACU-100 controller incorporates eight OC type outputs, to which wireless
devices are assigned. Any number of wireless devices can be assigned to one output. The
number of outputs can be increased by connecting the ACX-100 expansion modules to the
controller. The maximum number of outputs 48 (controller + 5 ACX-100 modules).
The output activates after receiving suitable information from a wireless device assigned to it,
the information depending on the device type:
•the wireless detectors signal violations;
•the ASP-105 siren inform of a discharged battery and a failure of +12 V DC external
power supply;
•the ASP-205 sirens inform of battery discharge;
•the ACX-200 and ACX-201 expanders signal zone violation;
•the ASW-100 E and ASW-100 F controllers inform that the button was depressed in Mode
0 or the electric circuit was closed in Mode 1 and 2.
The outputs can be programmed as NO (normally open) or NC (normally shorted to ground).
All the outputs (of the controller and the ACX-100 modules connected to it) are being
programmed at the same time. Depending on how the outputs have been programmed,
activation of the output is indicated as follows:
−LED assigned to the output comes ON (outputs programmed as the NO type);
−LED assigned to the output comes OFF (outputs programmed as the NC type).
The outputs can be connected to the control panel zones.
2.5 FUNCTIONAL OUTPUTS
If the controller is working as an expander with the INTEGRA or VERSA control
panels, you are not required to know how the functional outputs operate,
because they need not be connected to the control panel (all information will be
sent to the control panel via communication bus).
The ACU-100 controller PCB incorporates four OC type outputs to signal:
TPR – wireless device tampers, lack of communication with ACX-100 modules, and also
controller tampers (provided the TMP terminals are connected to the controller
tamper circuit);
CON– lack of communication with wireless devices;
JAM – jamming the radio signal for the ABAX system to the degree which makes
communication impossible;
