ATTENTION
To ensure the safety of people and possessions, it is important that you
read all the following instructions.
Incorrect installation or incorrect use of the product could cause
serious harm to people.
The installer, being either professional or DIY, is the last person
on the site who can ensure that the system is safely installed, and that
the whole system can be operated safely.
IMPORTANT
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
Warnings for the Installer
CAREFULLY READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS before beginning to install
the product.
• All installation, repair, and service work to this product must be carried out by a
suitablyqualiedperson
• Secure all easily-accessed controls in order to prevent unauthorised use of the device
• Do not in any way modify the components of the SupaHelix
• DonotinstalltheSupaHelixinanexplosiveatmosphere:thepresenceofammable
gasses or fumes is a serious danger to safety
• Explain these safety instructions to all persons authorised to use SupaHelix,
and be sure that they understand the hazards associated with the SupaHelix system
• Do not leave packing materials (plastic, polystyrene, etc.) within reach of children as
such materials are potential sources of danger
• Dispose of all waste products like packing materials, etc., according to local
regulations
• Neither Centurion Systems (Pty) Ltd, nor its subsidiaries, accepts any liability caused
by improper use of the product, or for use other than that for which the automated
system was intended
• This product was designed and built strictly for the use indicated in this
documentation. Any other use, not expressly indicated here, could compromise the
service life/operation of the product and/or be a source of danger
• Anythingnotexpresslyspeciedintheseinstructionsisnotpermitted
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
SAFETY FIRST

page 9www.CentSys.com
•Channel: An electrical gateway implemented as a physical terminal on the SupaHelix
that provides the external interface to input or output signals
•Input: A potential-free normally-open electrical signal that is linked to an
appropriatelyconguredchanneltoprovideanaction-inducingstimulustothe
SupaHelix
•Output: A potential-free open collector electrical signal that is generated by an
appropriatelyconguredchanneltotriggeranexternalsystem
•Open Collector Output: A common electrical output that is generally potential-free
and high-impedance when inactive, but provides a current path to system ground
(negative) when active
•Normally-open: The contacts of the ‘switch’, being either a relay or an open collector
output,arebydefaultinanopenstate,i.e.currentcannotowbetweenthecontacts
unless the switch is actuated
•Normally-closed: The contacts of the ‘switch’, being either a relay or an open
collectoroutput,arebydefaultinaclosedstate,i.e.currentperpetuallyows
between the contacts until opened by the switch action
•Rising (Positive) edge: A rising edge describes the transition of a digital signal from
low to high. In other words, the circuit becomes active when its clock signal goes
from ground or 0V to a perceivable voltage
•Falling (Negative) edge: A falling edge describes the transition of a digital signal
from high to low. In other words, the circuit becomes active when its clock signal
‘falls’ from a voltage to ground
•Log/logging: Logging refers to the capturing of a transaction and the data
associated with it
•Firmware: This is the product code, data and set of digital instructions unique to the
SupaHelix Programming Console. Firmware can be updated to keep the SupaHelix
up-to-date
•Momentary: A momentary output is an output that is only active while the activating
signal is present, for example while a remote control button is being held down
•Pulsed:Apulsedoutputwillremainactiveforapredenedtimeaftertheactivating
signal has occurred, for example after a remote button has been released
•Latched: A latched output remains in a certain state after the activating signal has
been removed, and will only change state once the signal is applied again
•Mappable Output: This is a dynamic output that can be changed at any time stage
should the need arise, and all activation devices assigned to the Mappable Output will
then be moved to the newly chosen output.

The SupaHelix is a three-channel multi-user access control device capable of working with up to
10,000 unique code-hopping remote control buttons.
Transmitters can be learned into up to 10,000 individual units, for example a house number,
with each unit containing between one and 255 possible sub-units, for example individual
tenants. While it is possible to delete sub-units individually, when learning a new remote control,
thenewremotecontrolwilllltherstavailablesub-unit.Individualremotecontrolbuttonsmay
be edited

if the remote control is present.
Fully automated single-button Limit Setup for single and double swing gates:
Unit 0 is usually used for the SupaHelix system administrators.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1. General Description
TheSupaHelixhasthreechannels,eachofwhichcanbeconguredaseitheraninputor
anoutput(opencollector).Whenlearningnewusers,amappablechannelcanbespecied,
and this channel can later be mapped to any of the available outputs
(by default a learned-in transmitter points to Channel 1).
Outputs can be set as either momentary (active while the activating signal is present),
pulsed(activeforapreconguredperiodoftimeaftertheactivatingsignalhasoccurred.
Thepreconguredtimeissetupinincrementsof0.5seconds),orlatched.Latchedoutput
states are also ‘sticky’, which means they remember the state they were in even if the power
iscycled.Theoutputscanalsobespeciedasnormally-openornormally-closed.
Outputs would typically be used to activate an external device, such as a gate
motor or to arm an alarm panel
Inputscanbesettotriggeronrising,fallingorbothedges,canhavealter(debounce)time
applied (set in one second increments), and can be mapped to activate any of the output
channels.
Inputs are generally used for monitoring and data logging purposes.
For example, an input can be connected to the door contact of a safe and used
to track how many times the safe was opened during a given time period
An onboard Real Time Clock and Calendar (RTCC) allows time-stamped logging of the last one
million transactions to a removable 2GB micro SD card. These logs (stored by month) can be
viewedline-by-lineonthebuilt-indisplay,andcanbebackeduptoaUSBashdriveforviewing
on a PC using spreadsheet software.
TheSupaHelixrmwarecanbeeld-upgradedviaUSBashdrive
(See section 8) .
If the SD card is removed, the system will not function at all.
1. Any editing needs the remote control to be present.

6.1. Important Considerations
To prevent tampering and potentially compromising the integrity of the system,
the SupaHelix Programming Console must be mounted in a secure location.
The SupaHelix Programming Console must be mounted in a location where it will not
come into direct contact with the elements, preferably indoors or in a suitably sealed
enclosure.
TheenclosureoftheCP104receiverisweather-resistantandthusitcanbetted
outdoors in an optimal upright position.
