SATEL ACU-280 3
1 Introduction
The ACU-280 controller enables expansion of the alarm system by adding the ABAX 2
wireless devices. It can work as expander of wireless devices for SATEL alarm control
panels:
INTEGRA and INTEGRA Plus (firmware version 1.19 or newer),
VERSA, VERSA Plus and VERSA IP (firmware version 1.09 or newer).
The controller does not support the ABAX wireless devices.
The ABAX 2 system offers two-way communication. All transmissions are acknowledged,
which ensures that the information has been received and makes it possible to check the
presence of devices in the system in real time. Configuration of settings, testing and updating
of the firmware of wireless devices are carried out via radio and, consequently, do not require
removal of their enclosure.
2 Features
Support for up to 48 ABAX 2 wireless devices (the number of supported devices depends
on the configuration).
Support for ABAX 2 wireless keypads:
– up to 4 INT-KWRL2 keypads,
– up to 6 VERSA-KWRL2 keypads.
Support for APT-200 keyfobs (the number of supported keyfobs depends on the
maximum number of control panel users).
AES standard encrypted two-way radio communication in the 868 MHz frequency band.
Transmission channel diversity – 4 channels for automatic selection of the one that will
enable transmission without interference with other signals in the 868 MHz frequency
band.
Communication bus for connecting the controller to a SATEL control panel.
Controller firmware update capability.
Ability to remotely update the firmware of wireless devices (except for the ASD-250
wireless smoke detector).
Tamper protection against enclosure opening.

3.2 DIP-switches
Using the DIP-switches, you can:
define the controller operating mode,
set the controller address (operating mode: expander of wireless devices for the
INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control panel).
3.2.1 Selecting the controller operating mode
Fig. 2. Switches defining the controller operating mode.

Fig. 3. DIP switches for setting address when the controller is connected to the INTEGRA /
INTEGRA Plus control panel.
Switches 1-5 (Fig. 3) are used to set the address when the controller is connected to the
INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control panel (in the other operating modes, the settings of
switches 1-5 are irrelevant). Numerical value is assigned to each switch. In OFF position, the
value is 0. Numerical values assigned to individual switches in ON position are presented in
Table 2. The sum of numerical values assigned to switches 1-5 constitutes the address set in
the device. The address must be different than that set in the other devices connected to the
expander bus of the control panel.

If the controller is to be connected to the control panel to which an ABAX 2 / ABAX
controller is already connected, it is recommended that the address to be set in the
new controller be higher than that in the controller already connected to the control
panel.
4 Installation of the controller
Disconnect power before making any electrical connections.
Be careful during installation to avoid damage to the components located on the
controller electronics board.
4.1 Selecting a mounting location
The controller should be installed indoors, in spaces with normal air humidity. Prior to
installation you should plan the arrangement of all ABAX 2 wireless devices which are to be
operated by the controller. Select the installation place so that these devices are located
within the controller operating range. Remember that thick walls, metal partitions, etc. will
reduce the range of the radio signal. It is recommended that the controller be mounted high
above the floor. This will allow you to get a better range of radio communication and avoid
the risk of the controller being accidentally covered by people moving around the premises.
Installing the device in close vicinity of electrical systems is not recommended, since it can
adversely affect the range of radio signal.
Several ABAX 2 / ABAX wireless system controllers can work within each other's range. The
number of wireless devices working within each other's operating range depends on the
frequency of periodical communication. The higher the frequency of communication, the
lesser number of devices can work within each other's range.
4.2 Preparing the cabling
Run the cables to be used to connect the controller to the control panel or other devices to
the controller's installation location. For power cables, use flexible conductors with cross-
sectional area of 0.5-0.75 mm2. Do not lay the cables in immediate vicinity of the low-voltage
electrical network wires, especially those used for supplying the high-power equipment (such
as electric motors).
4.3 Installation of enclosure
The description below applies to the enclosure in which the ACU-280 controller is sold.
1. Open the controller enclosure (Fig. 4). The enclosure opening tool, shown in the
illustration, is included in the detector delivery set.
2. Place the enclosure base against the wall and mark location of the mounting holes. Set
the enclosure so that the cable entry opening is situated at the bottom of the enclosure or
at the base.

SATEL ACU-280 7
Fig. 4. Opening the enclosure.
Fig. 5. Installation of enclosure base.

8 ACU-280 SATEL
3. Drill holes for wall plugs (anchors) in the wall.
4. Make the cable entry opening at the base. The opening diameter must be larger than
5 mm. The finished opening must not have sharp edges.
5. Run the cables through the prepared opening (power cables, cables connecting the
controller with the control panel or other devices, etc.).
6. Using wall plugs and screws, secure the enclosure base to the wall. The wall plugs
delivered with the device are intended for concrete, brick, etc. For other types of surface
(drywall, styrofoam), use the appropriately selected wall plugs. When installed, the device
must withstand a pull-off force of at least 50 N.
4.4 Setting DIP switches
Using the DIP switches (see “DIP-switches” p. 5):
1. Define the controller operating mode (switches 9 and 10).
2. Set the controller's address if the controller is to be connected to the INTEGRA /
INTEGRA Plus control panel (switches 1-5).
4.5 Connecting the wires
Protect the wiring against contact with sharp edges or else they can damage the
insulation of cables.
Depending on the control panel to which the controller is to be connected:
INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus: connect the CKM, DTM, CKE, DTE and COM terminals to the
corresponding terminals of the control panel communication buses (Fig. 6).

If you use the twisted-pair type of cable, remember that the DTM and CKM / CKE and DTE
(clock and data) signals must not be sent through one pair of twisted conductors. The
conductors must be run in one cable.
4.6 Connecting the power supply and starting the controller
1. Connect the power cables to the +12V and COM terminals. The controller may be
powered directly from the control panel or from a power supply unit with current limitation
up to 3 A.
2. Replace the cover.
3. Turn the power on. The LED indicator should come on.
4. Run the identification function in the control panel (see the control panel installer manual).
The controller will be identified as ACU-100.

6 Installation of ABAX 2 wireless devices
After the controller has been installed, you can begin installation of the ABAX 2 wireless
devices. Before installing a device, check the level of radio signal received by the device from
controller and by the controller from device at the planned installation place. The ARF-200
tester is a useful tool to check the signal level. The level of signal received by
device/controller may not be lower than 40%. You can only install the device at the planned
location after making sure that the level of the radio signal is correct. If the radio signal level
at the planned installation place is too low, select another installation location. Sometimes it
is sufficient to move the device ten or twenty centimeters to obtain a significant improvement
of signal quality.

SATEL ACU-280 11
For detailed information about installation of individual devices, please refer to the manuals of
the respective products.
6.1 Registering devices to the controller
Each wireless device, including the ARF-200 tester, must be registered to the controller.
Before adding a device that was previously registered to the ABAX / ABAX 2 system,
you must restart it (remove the battery / power the device off for 30 seconds).
When registering a device, you must enter its serial number. The serial number sticker is
affixed to the device (location of the sticker is indicated in the manual of the device). The
serial number of each ARF-200 tester is 0000500.
When registered, some devices will occupy two or more positions on the list. Therefore, the
actual number of devices that can be registered depends on how many positions will be
taken up by individual devices. For example, the expander ACX-220 can take up 4 positions.
After registering it to the controller, the pool of positions for further devices will decrease by 4
(e.g. if there were 48 positions available before registering the expander, 44 positions will
remain after registering the expander, i.e. you will still be able to register up to 44 devices).
In case of many devices that occupy two or more positions on the device list, you can
select how many positions are to be occupied when registering them to the controller.
6.1.1 Expander of wireless devices for the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control
panel
Data on wireless devices are stored in the controller. If you connect to the control
panel a controller:
with registered devices – during identification procedure, these devices will be
automatically assigned to the system zones / outputs.
with registered keypads – during identification procedure, the keypads will be added
to the system. However, if their addresses coincide with those of other devices
installed in the system, the identification procedure will be unsuccessful.
Most of the ABAX 2 wireless devices are identified in the alarm system by the names
known from the ABAX system.
For information about registering the INT-KWRL2 keypad, consult the keypad manual.
To add or delete devices, you can use the DLOADX program or LCD keypad (for more
information on the DLOADX program and LCD keypads, refer to the control panel manuals).
The number of devices you can register to the controller depends on the control panel
(INTEGRA 24 – up to 16; INTEGRA 32 – up to 24; other control panels – up to 48). Each
position on the device list represents one wireless zone or one wireless zone and one output.
When adding and removing the wireless devices, remember that the identification function
registers zones and outputs by groups of 8. Already after adding one wireless device which
takes up 1 zone, the control panel will reserve 8 zones in the system for wireless devices.
The LCD keypad makes it possible to select the zone to which that device will be assigned.
Observe continuity, i.e. avoid leaving any gaps in the list, which will later reduce the number
of available zones in the system. Remember to preserve continuity also when removing
wireless devices. For example, if the devices registered in the controller occupy 9 positions
on the list, then 16 zones (2x8) are reserved in the system. After removal of the device which
occupied position 7 on the list, there will still be 16 zones (2x8) reserved in the system for
wireless devices, although 8 positions are actually taken up on the list of wireless devices
(see: Table 3). In such a case, it is recommended that the last devices be removed from the

12 ACU-280 SATEL
list and then added to the system again, so as to fill up the gap in the list and reduce the
number of zones reserved for wireless devices.
In case of devices which, in addition to zones, also take up outputs, it is recommended that
you add them to the system first. This will allow you to maintain the continuity of use of not
the zones alone, but the outputs as well.
In some cases, the gaps in the list of zones/outputs cannot be avoided. It applies to situation
when the number of zones/outputs, which is used by the devices, is not a multiple of 8.
For each group of 8 zones/outputs, one address on the expander bus is reserved. The
controller can occupy from 1 to 6 addresses. This must be taken into account at the system
design stage and sufficient number of free addresses must be left for the controller. If, when
new wireless devices have been added to the controller, it turns out that next addresses are
needed, and these are taken up by other devices, successful completion of the expander
identification procedure will be impossible. It will be necessary to change addresses of the
devices connected to the bus.

Table 3shows how the wireless devices should not be registered. The first siren output takes
up position 8, and the second output occupies position 9. As a result, 16 outputs have been
reserved for wireless devices in the system, although actually only 2 are used (the eighth
output in the first group of 8 outputs and the first output in the second group of 8 outputs). For
devices taking up 8 positions, the system must reserve 16 zones and 16 outputs as well as 2
addresses. Table 4shows an example of how to correctly register the same devices
(compare also Fig. 8). For 8 devices, the system has reserved 8 zones and 8 outputs as well
as 1 address.

with registered devices – during identification procedure, these devices will be
automatically assigned to the system zones / outputs.
with registered keypads – during identification procedure, the keypads will be added
to the system. However, if their addresses coincide with those of other devices
installed in the system, the identification procedure will be unsuccessful.
Most of the ABAX 2 wireless devices are identified in the alarm system by the names
known from the ABAX system.
For information about registering the VERSA-KWRL2 keypad, consult the keypad
manual.
To add or delete devices, you can use the DLOADX program or LCD keypad (for more
information on the DLOADX program and LCD keypads, refer to the control panel manuals).
You can register up to 30 devices to the controller. Each position on the device list represents
one wireless zone or one wireless zone and one output.
6.1.2.1 Adding new wireless devices
When adding devices you can select the alarm system zone to which you want to assign
a device. It can be any zone to which no wireless device is still assigned. If the device takes
up more than one position on the list of devices, additional zones will be assigned to the
device automatically (these will be zones immediately following the selected one).
If the device is to be also assigned to an output, the output number will be the same as that
of the selected zone.
The control panel does not support wireless outputs with numbers from 13 to 30.
Therefore it is not recommended that you assign any devices that are at the same time
assigned to outputs (e.g. sirens, controllers, etc.) to the zones from 13 to 30.
