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 868.0MHz – 868.6MHz.
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 or INTEGRA 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 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-11 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 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, CA-64, CA-10) or expansion of the system by
adding the ACX-100 input/output expansion modules.

2.3 CONTROL INPUTS
The ACU-100 PCB incorporates 4 control inputs. These inputs make it possible to control
operation of wireless equipment (detectors, sirens). How the device will respond to activation
of the input (shorting to common ground / opening connection) depends on the type of the
device controlled by the input (e.g. the detectors will change to active status, the sirens will
trigger alarm signal, the 230V AC wireless controllers will turn on electrical equipment
connected to their sockets, etc.). The control inputs are disabled when the controller operates
with the INTEGRA control panels.
The controller inputs can be programmed as NO (normally open) or NC (normally shorted to
ground).

Two-way wireless system ABAX ACU-1006
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).
Fig. 2. Example of connecting the high-current output of SATEL-made control
panel to the control input.
The control panel outputs which are to control the ACU-100 controller inputs should be
properly configured (their type, polarization, cutoff time, etc.).
To control operation of the wireless detectors, the control panel output can be programmed
e.g. as the ARM STATUS. Arming in the control panel will activate the detectors, while
disarming will deactivate them. 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
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.
The control input of the controller can also be programmed as always active. When this
option is chosen, 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.
You can increase the number of inputs by adding the ACX-100 expansion modules to the
controller. The maximum number of inputs can be 24 (controller + 5 ACX-100 modules). The
number of inputs can only be increased when the controller does not connect to the control
panel by means of communication bus.
2.4 OUTPUTS
The PCB of the ACU-100 controller incorporates eight OC type outputs, to which wireless
devices are assigned (by default, each newly added device is assigned to output 1). Any
number of wireless devices can be assigned to one output. 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 +12V DC external power
supply.
•the ASP-205 sirens inform of battery discharge;
•the ACX-200 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. It does not apply to controllers
configured for operation with the CA-64 / INTEGRA alarm control panels.
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
number of outputs can only be increased when the controller does not connect to the control
panel by means of communication bus.
2.5 FUNCTIONAL OUTPUTS
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;
LBA - problems with power supply of a wireless device: low battery, discharged storage
battery, or loss of external power supply.
Depending on how the outputs have been programmed (see OUTPUTS), activation of the
functional 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).

Two-way wireless system ABAX ACU-1008
The functional outputs may be connected to suitably programmed zones of the control panel
(zone type, way of reaction, etc.). Thus the control panel will inform of any problem indicated
by the controller functional output. Having obtained information on the occurrence of
a problem, it can be thoroughly diagnosed by means of an LCD keypad or a computer
connected to the controller.
If the controller operates in conjunction with the CA-64 control panel, connecting the TPR
output is unnecessary, because information on tampers of wireless devices is transmitted
through the communication bus.
Where the controller operates together with the INTEGRA series alarm control panels, the
functional outputs need not be connected. In this configuration all problem-related information
is sent to the control panel through the communication bus.
