AT-APA
Addressable Pinpoint Alarm
A. GENERAL INFORMATION
This compact module is suitable for integration into the building’s computer network, and
in the event of a leak it will automatically send an alert to notify engineers of the problem.
The module can be easily congured and data consulted either locally via the touchscreen or
remotely via the built-in web server. Any alarms are shown on the module’s touchscreen, and a
buzzer activated. Automatic alarms are sent via SNMP or email, and the alarm relay is enabled.
All alarm data can be viewed remotely. All alarms are stored in the module’s memory, together
with the timestamp and details. The location of the leak is easy to identify on a diagram in PDF
format, which can be loaded into the alarm module. Up to 4 hardwired leak detection circuits
can be connected to the module. 6 leak detection probes or up to 100 metres of leak detection
cable can be connected to each circuit. The AT-APA can be easily integrated into any building
management system by connection to the volt free relay contacts or reading the standard
Modbus TCP/IP registry.

1. INSTALLING AND CONNECTING THE ALARM MODULE:
Mountthehousingagainstthewall.Usetheholesprovidedontheoutsideofthe
housing. Connect the cables to the module as shown in the diagram below. Holes are
providedforthispurposeinthebottomofthehousing,togetherwithcableglands.
A. CONNECTING THE POWER SUPPLY:
Depending on power supply available connect
the cable that powers the module to the 24
VAC, 12/24 VDC terminals or the 230Vac
terminals.
B. ISOLATE SPARE SENSING ZONES
CONNECTING THE LEAK DETECTION
CIRCUITS:
Connect 4 two-wire water leak detection circuit
cables (leak detection cable sensor or probe)
to the GR-RE-YE-BL terminals of LEAK circuit 1,
2, 3 or 4.
ATTENTION: Note the colour of the cables to
the terminals. G = Green, R = Red, Y = Yellow
and B = Black. Up to four separate circuits may
be connected to the panel. If any circuits are
left unused. These circuits must either be
disabled in the software, or bridging wires
must be used to connect the Y terminal to the
B terminal and the G terminal to the R
terminals.
C. OPTIONAL: CONNECTING THE
AMBIENT SENSOR:
Connect the optional AT-APA-HTS sensor to
the connector marked “sensor T/H” on the
bottom right:
CONNECTING TO THE COMPUTER
NETWORK:
The network cable is connected to the
module via an M20 RJ45 connector mounted
on the bottom of the panel case.. Correct
Ethernet connection is indicated by the lights
being on. This module contains an integrated
web server. When correctly connected, the
module can be accessed by all the computers
on the network
Note: The AquiTron Addressable Pinpoint
Alarm module is now ready for use.
Additional settings for sending alarms or
uploading a diagram must be done via the
touchscreen, or via a computer or tablet with
a standard web browser.
Note: To prevent any risk of damage to
the user or module, the power supply
should only be switched on after all the
cables are connected and the housing closed.
AT-APA
Addressable Pinpoint
Alarm
•Connect the black wire to terminal 1
•Connect the yellow wire to terminal 2
•Connect the red wire to terminal 3
The AT-APA-HTS comes with a 5m cable
attached. This can be cut down to required
length. But distance should not be increased.
D. NOTIFICATION VIA RELAY
CONTACTS:
All data from the module is transmitted to the
BMS via the network, or the external alarm
system via the Modbus TCP/IP register.
However, if you require relay contacts for
sending to an external system, then connect
a cable to the appropriate relays below the
module. The upper row of relay outputs
(FAULT) switch each circuit in the event of
a cable or system fault. These relays switch
on if the module is connected to the power
supply, and switch o if there is a power
failure or system fault. The lower row of relay
outputs (LEAK) switch each circuit in the event
of an alarm.

1.0 VIA TOUCHSCREEN
The AT-APA features a built-in touchscreen
where detailed settings can be changed
easily. If elds where data has to be entered
are selected, an onscreen keyboard appears.
The home page displays the system status and the status of the active leak detection circuits.
•Cable length: this is the total length of leak detection cable connected to a circuit.
•Status: this is the status of the leak detection cable (see below).
•Leak location: this is the location where the leak alarm is active.
•Leak zone: this is the zone where the leak alarm is active.
•Leak value: this is a value expressed in %, where 100% represents a leak.
•YB resistance loop: this is the measured resistance value in ohms of the Yellow-Black
detection circuit.
•RG resistance loop: this is the measured resistance value in ohms of the Red-Green detection
circuit.
•Alarm timestamp: this is the time when an alarm was activated.
2. DETAILED CONFIGURATION OF THE MODULE USING THE
INTEGRATED WEB SERVER:
ThedetailedsettingsoftheAT-APAcanbechangedwiththetouchscreenorbytheweb
application that can be accessed via a standard web browser. There are two ways to
connecttothewebapplication;viaahardwirednetworkcableconnection,ortheAT-
APA’sWi-Ficonnection.
2.0 VIA WIFI NETWORK
The AT-APA has its own “Aquitron_AT-APA”
WiFi network. Connect to the WiFi network
via tablet, laptop or computer. After the WiFi
connection is established, open the web
browser and enter the following address in
the command bar: http://10.0.0.1. The home
screen should now be shown on your device.
3.0 VIA HARDWIRED CONNECTION
WITH A NETWORK CABLE
Connect a network cable between the AT-APA
and the computer or laptop that will carry out
the conguration. By default, the IP address
of the AT-APA is set to 10.100.100.106. The
computer or laptop must be in the same IP
range to establish a connection (to make any
modications, see section 9 “Setting the IP
address in a laptop or desktop” at the end
of this document). After these modications
have been made, open the web browser and
enter the following address in the command
bar: http://10.100.100.106. The home screen
below will appear on your computer.

Within the properties of IPV 4 set the computers IP to: 10.100.100.220
The computer will now use IP address 10.100.100.220 as default.
Connect the network cable between the computer and the AT-APA. Enter the IP address
(10.100.100.106) in the web browser, and the web page of the AT-APA will open.
Alternatively the AT-APA can be set to communicate with your existing network. There are two
options to achieve this.
1. On the conguration within the Network area select the Network DHCP box so it is ticked.
Select save button at the bottom of the page. The units IP will now be allocated via DHCP. Scan
your system for AD4net.local to identify the panels IP address.
2. For the panel to sit on a xed IP enter the required information, and then select the save
button at the bottom of the page.
Once you have the panels IP address via either method you will be able to log onto the panel
using a standard browser window, where real time status information will be shown and
conguration changes can be made.
