INSTALLATION MANUAL
SPECIFICATIONS
Working Environment
Aluminium Extruded Cabinet .....
(XEC900)
Designed to work in an indoor (dry)
environment similar to IP30. The Controller is,
therefore, not sealed against water.
Power Supply Combo..................
(IPS970)
Designed to work in an indoor (dry)
environment similar to IP20. The Power
Supply Combo is, therefore, not sealed against
water.

System Battery
Battery Type...........................
6 V 3 Ahr Sealed Lead Acid Battery.
Battery Life.............................
4-6 Hours uninterrupted operation.
48 Hours Power Shutdown, Hibernation Mode.
Power Supply Combo (IPS970)
NOTE: The Power Supply Combo includes a 3 A Switch Mode Power Supply which
provides power for the (optional) internal unit and for charging the (optional)
backup Battery. As the Power Supply Combo needs no more than 1 A, you
may power extra devices using up to 2 A continuous current from the
provided connector block. DO NOT exceed this 2 A limit on continuous
current draw.

Devices with a high in-rush current demand, such as certain maglocks and
other electromechanical devices, can momentarily draw more than 3 A. The
Power Supply then effectively shuts down as directed by its built in
protection as exceeding the 3 A rating is considered a short-circuit.
Overcome this by installing the recommended 12 V 7 Ahr Battery to help
supplement the in-rush current such a device may draw on activation.

INSTALLATION INFORMATION
Accessories
Find the following when unpacking the Impro ECII Controller:
•Either, an Impro ECII Controller (XEC900) housed in a Black, powder-coated,
Aluminium extruded Cabinet. The Cabinet consists of a Top Cover and a Base
sealed at each end with a Mild Steel End Plate, secured with 5 Thread Cutter
Screws (M3 x 8 mm).
•Or, an Impro ECII Controller (IPS970) housed in a Black Mild Steel, powder-coated
Cabinet. The Cabinet consists of a hinged Lid and a Base.
•A 3 V, CR2032, Lithium cell Battery.
•A 6 V 3 Ahr Sealed Lead Acid Backup Battery.
•Four Combi Screws (No. 4 x 10 mm) (IPS970 Only).
•A glass Fuse, Slow Blow, 3.15 A, 250 V (5 mm x 20 mm) (IPS970 Only).
•A MAC Address Label.
•An extra Fixed Address Label.
General
Remember the following when installing your Impro ECII Controller:
Communications Distance
RS485 1 (Controller Port) and RS485 2 (Terminal Port)
The RS485 communications distance between the Impro ECII Controller and the LAST
Impro Unit in a cable run, MUST NOT exceed 1 km (1 090 yd). Achieve this by using
good quality screened twisted pair Mylar cable, EARTHED on one side.
Ethernet Port
The Ethernet Controller plugs into an Ethernet Switch or Hub (or other network device),
cable runs for this must conform to Ethernet cabling specifications.
Termination Resistors for RS485 Bus Communications
Long transmission lines or multiple “star” connections, may cause communication
problems. Placing the Terminating Resistor Jumper Link in the LAST UNIT AT THE
END OF THE CABLE RUN should solve the problem (depending on the bus). Refer to
Figure 1 on page 8.
EARTH Connection
In conditions where excessive noise is present connect the Impro ECII Controller to a
good EARTH point. Using either of the RS485 Ports, connect the EARTH Lead to the
“SHD” Terminal. Mains EARTH can be used, but electrical noise may persist. The
EARTH Lead to the Impro ECII Controller should have a minimum cross-sectional area
of 1 mm2(0.001 in2) and can be either solid or stranded.

Holder BEFORE powering up the Impro ECII.
Refer to Figure 1 for the location of the Real Time Clock Backup Battery Holder.
First Time Use
1. Access the Impro ECII Controller’s Printed Circuit Board (PCB):
•For XEC900, remove the Controller’s Top Cover.
•For IPS970, open the Lid of the Cabinet.
2. Locate the removable Battery Tab in the Real Time Clock Battery Holder (See
Figure 1 and Figure 2 for location).
3. Pull the removable Battery Tab out of the Battery Holder.
4. Complete installation by:

•For IPS970, open the Lid of the Cabinet.
2. Remove the old 3 V, CR2032, Lithium cell Battery from the Battery Holder by
pulling the plastic retaining clip AWAY from the Battery Holder. The Battery Holder
is spring-loaded and will raise the Battery out of the Holder.
3. Slide the NEW 3 V, CR2032, Lithium cell Battery under the metal clip of the
Battery Holder, with the "+" Terminal facing UP.
4. Pull the plastic clip away from the Battery Holder and press the Battery firmly into
the Battery Holder.

3. Place the Battery into the Cabinet with the Battery Terminals in an upwards
position.
4. Connect the Red Battery Terminal Lead to the Positive Battery Terminal.
5. Connect the Black Battery Terminal Lead to the Negative Battery Terminal.
6. Re-hinge the Lid and slide it in a downwards direction.
7. Close the Lid of the Cabinet.
Replacement
Aluminium Extruded Cabinet (XEC900)
1. Remove the Controller’s Top Cover.
2. Remove the Controller’s back End Plate.
3. Disconnect the Battery Fly Lead Spade Terminals from the old Battery.
4. Slide the old Battery out of the Battery Compartment.
CAUTION: Ensure that you maintain the correct polarity of the Battery Fly Lead
Spade Terminals. Red wire to Positive (+) and Black wire to
Negative (-).
5. Slide the new Battery into the Battery Compartment.
6. Reconnect the Battery Fly Lead Spade Terminals to the new Battery.
7. Attach the Controller’s back End Plate.
8. Attach the Controller’s Top Cover.
Database Backup (Battery Low)
On Battery Low, when the Controller reaches the end of its 48 Hour Hibernation Mode,
the Battery reaches a point where it cannot maintain the Database in the Controller’s
memory. To reduce the risk of losing the Controller’s Database, we recommend that
you backup the Database to a USB Flash Disk as follows:
NOTE: Acceptable Flash Disk sizes include 128 MB, 256 MB, 512 MB or 1 GB
(maximum usable size).
1. Format the Flash Disk in FAT32.
2. If already powered up, power down the Controller.
3. Plug the USB Flash Disk into the USB Host Port on your Controller.
4. Apply power thereby restarting the Controller.
NOTE: Ensure that the USB Flash Disk remains plugged into the USB Host Port on
the Controller for this feature to function correctly.
Mounting the Controller
CAUTION: Make certain that you mount the Controller on a vibration-free
surface.
Select the mounting position of the Impro ECII Controller, considering accessibility and
routing of wires. Secure the Controller to the mounting surface, using four suitable
screws and wall plugs, nuts and bolts or rivets.

Mounting the Power Supply Combo (IPS970)
NOTE: During mounting, we recommend removing the Power Supply Combo’s
Earth Strap. As indicated in Figure 2, locate and disconnect the Earth Strap
from the Lid of the Cabinet. This allows easy removal and replacement of
the Lid during installation. After installation, we strongly recommend you
reattach the Earth Strap to the Lid.
Use the supplied Connection Leads for the low voltage connections to the Power
Supply Combo. Using the supplied Quick Click Glands or Gland Breakouts, neatly lead
the wires out of the Cabinet.
1. Fix the Base to the wall using two suitable screws in the Mounting Key Holes.
2. Fix the third screw in the Mounting Slot, adjusting the position of the Base if
necessary.
