2 ACU-250 SATEL
1. General
The ACU-250 controller works with the INTEGRA, INTEGRA Plus and VERSA control
panels. It enables expansion of the security alarm system by adding the ABAX wireless
devices. The ABAX system is based on 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 parameters
and testing of the ABAX system wireless devices is performed by radio, so dismounting of
their enclosures is unnecessary. Additionally, the controller allows you to operate the security
alarm system, using the ABAX system two-way keyfobs.
2. Features
Support for up to 48 ABAX system wireless devices (the number of supported devices
depends on the control panel).
Support for up to 248 APT-100 keyfobs (the number of supported keyfobs depends on the
control panel).
Two-way encrypted radio communication in the 868 MHz frequency band.
Controller firmware update capability.
Tamper protection in 2 ways – cover removal and tearing enclosure from the wall.

4. Installation of the controller
Disconnect power before making any electrical connections.

SATEL ACU-250 3
The controller should be installed indoors, in spaces with normal air humidity. Prior to
installation you should plan the arrangement of all ABAX system wireless devices which are
to be operated by the controller. When selecting the controller installation place, make sure
that all these devices will be located within its 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. Mounting the controller near electrical installations is not
advisable, as this may cause malfunction of the device.
Several ABAX wireless system controllers can work within each other's range. Automatic
synchronization with the wireless systems already in use is always performed when the
controller is switched on, and after each operation of addition/removal of supported devices.
The number of wireless devices working within each other's range depends on the RESPONSE
PERIOD (see section PARAMETERS,OPTIONS AND FUNCTIONS p. 4) and can vary from 150 to 450.
The higher the response frequency, the lower the number of devices that can work within
each other's range.
1. Open the enclosure of the controller (Fig. 2).
2. Make the opening in the enclosure base for the communication bus
and power cables.
3. Pass the wires through the opening. It is recommended to use
a straight-through unshielded cable. When using the twisted-pair
type of cable, the CLK (clock) and DAT (data) signals must not be
sent through one twisted pair.
4. Using wall plugs (screw anchors) and screws, fasten the enclosure
base to the mounting surface.
5. Connect the CLK, DAT and COM terminals with wires to the
communication bus of the control panel.
6. Connect the power leads to the +12 V and COM terminals. If the
distance to the control panel is less than 300 meters, the controller
can be supplied directly from the control panel. If the distance to the
control panel is higher, the controller must be supplied from another
power source, which is located at a closer distance (a power supply
unit or an expander with power supply).
7. Using the DIP-switches, set the controller address. It must be
different from that of the other modules connected to the
communication bus. The address is a sum of numerical values set
on the switches 1-5 (see Table 1). When the controller works with
the VERSA control panel, address 8 must be set (switch 4 must be
in ON position, the other switches in OFF position).
When connecting the controller to the INTEGRA or INTEGRA Plus control panel to
which the ABAX system controller is already connected, it is recommended that
a higher address be set in the new controller than that in the controller already
connected to the control panel.

8. Close the controller enclosure.
9. Turn on the power of the alarm system.
10.Start the identification function in the control panel.
The ACU-250 controller will be identified as ACU-100 and this name will be assigned
to it by default by the control panel.
5. Programming the controller
Programming of the controller is carried out by means of the control panel, using:
the LCD keypad in service mode:
– INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus – the controller programming functions are available in the
SETTINGS submenu (STRUCTURE HARDWARE EXPANDERS SETTINGS). Upon
entering the submenu, a list of devices will be displayed. Using the and keys, find
the controller name and press the key to get access to the list of functions. To
program the controller name, use the NAMES submenu (STRUCTURE HARDWARE
EXPANDERS NAMES).
– VERSA – most of the controller parameters can be programmed in the 2. SETTINGS
submenu (2. HARDWARE 1. KPDS &EXPS. 2. SETTINGS). Upon entering the
submenu, a list of devices will be displayed. Using the and keys, find the controller
name and press the key to start the "step by step" programming. The functions to
start synchronization and to enter / exit the test mode are available in the 3. WIRELESS
MOD. submenu (2. HARDWARE 1. KPDS &EXPS. 3. WIRELESS MOD.).
the DLOADX program:
– INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus – in the "Structure" window, "Hardware" tab, after clicking on
the controller name in the list of devices (Fig. 3);
– VERSA – in the "Versa – Structure" window, "Hardware" tab, after clicking on the
controller name.
5.1 Parameters, options and functions
Name – individual name of device (up to 16 characters).
Tamper signaled in partition – the partition in which tamper alarm will be triggered in the
event of module tamper.
No auto-reset after three module tamper alarms – it is possible to disable the feature
limiting the number of tamper alarms from the expander to three (this feature prevents the
same events from being repeatedly recorded and applies to consecutive, non-cleared
alarms).
Response period – communication with wireless devices takes place in specified intervals.
The controller is then gathering information on the status of wireless devices and, if
necessary, sending commands to the devices, e.g. switching the detectors to their
active/passive state, switching on/off the test mode and/or changing configuration of the
devices. The response period can be 12, 24 or 36 seconds. The less often communication
between the controller and the wireless devices takes place, the more wireless devices
can work within each other's operating range (12 seconds – up to 150, 24 seconds – up to
300, 36 seconds – up to 450). Beyond the response period, information about tampers of
devices and violations of detectors operating in active mode are sent to the controller. The
response period has an effect on the level of energy consumption by the wireless devices.
The less often communication between the controller and the wireless devices takes
place, the lower energy consumption and the longer battery life are.

SATEL ACU-250 5
In the case of the AMD-103 detector, no communication takes place during polling.
Higher sensitivity for jamming detection – if this option is enabled, the sensitivity of
detection of radio communication jamming is boosted.
Synchronize – this function starts the procedure of synchronization, i.e. checking for
presence of other ABAX wireless system controllers working within the controller operating
range. The controller will synchronize the response period so that the radio transmissions
of some controllers should not be mutually jammed. Synchronization is performed
automatically upon starting the controller and after each operation of adding/removing
devices supported by it.
Test mode – in the ABAX system the test mode can be started, in which:
– LED indicators are enabled in the wireless devices (the LEDs are disabled during
normal operation) – information provided by means of the LEDs depends on the device;
– signaling is blocked in the sirens.
The test mode is started/ended during polling, which results in a delay, its duration
depending on the programmed response period. The test mode will be turned off
automatically after 30 minutes of:
– starting the test mode from the DLOADX program (the 30-minute period is running from
the moment of exiting the controller settings),
– exiting the service mode in the control panel.
According to requirements of the EN50131 standard, the level of radio signals sent by
wireless devices is reduced during the test mode operation.
For the AMD-103 detector, entering the test mode remotely is not possible.

7. Installation of wireless devices
After the control panel has identified the controller, you can begin installation of the ABAX
system wireless devices. Before installing a wireless 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-100 tester is a useful tool to check the signal level. The level of
signal received by device/controller may not be lower than 40%. 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. You can install the device permanently only after reaching the optimum level of
radio signal.
The wireless devices must be registered to the alarm system. This can be done using the
LCD keypad or DLOADX program. The controller can support up to 48 wireless devices, but
some devices take up more than one position on the list. For example, after adding to the
system the ACX-200 expander module, which takes up 4 positions on the list of devices, the
controller will still be able to handle 44 more wireless devices. The number of positions on the
list is at the same time the number of zones and, in case of some devices, also outputs which
will be taken by the device in the system.

SATEL ACU-250 7
The data relating to wireless devices are stored in the controller. If the controller with
registered wireless devices is connected to the control panel, the wireless devices will
be automatically assigned to the system zones/outputs during identification procedure.
7.1 Work with the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control panels
The number of supported wireless devices depends on the control panel.
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 2). In such a case, it is recommended that the last devices be removed from the
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.

Table 3. An example of how to correctly register the wireless devices (compare also Fig. 4).
For 8 devices, the system has reserved 8 zones and 8 outputs, as well as 1 address.
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. Table 2shows a situation in which the siren first
output occupies position 8, and the second output – position 9. As a result, 16 outputs have
been reserved for wireless devices in the system, though actually 2 outputs are used (the
eighth output in the first group of 8 outputs and the first output in the second group of 8
outputs).
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

detector can trigger alarm after registering a single, strong vibration caused by
a powerful impact, and also on registering several slight vibrations caused by a series
of weak strikes.

9. Specific character of the operation of wireless devices
This chapter describes the peculiar character of the operation of individual groups of wireless
devices, which affects the method of programming the zones and outputs to which the
wireless devices are assigned.

SATEL ACU-250 15
9.1 Wireless detectors
The wireless detectors send information on violations, tampers and low-battery status. The
information on violations and tampers is sent to the zones to which the detectors are
assigned. The system zones to which the wireless detectors are assigned can be
programmed as:
NC, NO or EOL – the zone will inform about detector violation;
2EOL/NC or 2EOL/NO – the zone will inform about detector violation and tamper.
The mode of operation of wireless detectors depends on the status of partition to which the
zone with wireless detector belongs:
partition disarmed – the detector operates in passive mode. It is a battery saving mode, in
which communication with the controller takes place mainly during time intervals
determined by the RESPONSE PERIOD parameter. At that time, information on violations and
battery status is sent. Only detector tampers are sent immediately.
partition armed – the detector operates in active mode. The detector sends immediately all
information to the controller.
Because switching the detectors over from the passive into active mode and conversely
takes place during the response time, it is performed with some delay in relation to
arming/disarming. The maximum delay – depending on the selected response frequency –
can be 12, 24 or 36 seconds.
The AMD-103 detector and wireless detectors assigned to the 24-hour zones, which are
permanently armed, are in the active mode at all times. Also other wireless detectors can
always work in the active mode, if the ALWAYS ACTIVE option is enabled for them (see section
PARAMETERS AND OPTIONS p. 11).
According to the EN50131-3 standard all ABAX system Hold-Up devices must be
always in active mode.
Batteries ensure approx. 3 years operation of the detectors, assuming that the
detectors are in passive state for part of that period and the RESPONSE PERIOD is 12
seconds. A longer response period (24 or 36 seconds) means extension of the battery
life time. The battery life time in the detectors switched permanently into the active
mode is shorter than in those which are periodically switched to the passive mode.
However, if the specific character of a detector or its installation place is such that the
number of violations is low, switching the detector permanently into the active mode
will not adversely affect the battery life time.
9.2 Wireless sirens
The wireless sirens take up 2 outputs and 2 zones in the system. How the signaling is
controlled by the outputs depends on the siren:
ASP-105 – the first of the outputs to which the siren is assigned controls the acoustic
signaling. Parameters of the acoustic signaling are programmed for the siren (type and
maximum duration of the sound signal). The second output controls the optical signaling.
The optical signaling is enabled when the output is active. The command to start and stop
signaling is sent to the siren immediately.
ASP-205 – both outputs to which the siren is assigned control both the acoustic and optical
signaling. Parameters of the signaling triggered by each of the outputs are programmed
separately for the siren. Thus two different, independently triggered ways of signaling can
be configured. As a result, the outputs can separately control the optical and acoustic
signaling or signal different alarm types (e.g. burglary and fire). The command to start the
signaling is sent to the siren only during the response time. Therefore, the cut-off time for

16 ACU-250 SATEL
the control panel outputs which control the siren must be longer than the response period.
It is recommended that cut-off time correspond to maximum duration of signaling
programmed for the siren.
The zones in the system to which the wireless sirens are assigned can be programmed as:
NC, NO or EOL – the zone will inform about power failures;
2EOL/NC or 2EOL/NO – the zone will inform about power failures and tamper.
The type of zones to which the wireless siren is assigned should be matched to the
information sent:
ASP-105 – first zone: low battery and tamper; second zone: external 12 V DC power loss
and tamper.
ASP-205 – both zones: low battery and tamper.
The tamper information is sent immediately, while the trouble information – during the
response time.
Tamper alarm on opening the tamper switch in the siren:
ASP-105 – lasts for the maximum time of acoustic signaling programmed for the siren (sound
type selected during programming and optical signaling);
ASP-205 – lasts 3 minutes (sound type 1 and optical signaling).
After starting the SERVICE MODE or TEST MODE and for 40 seconds after power-up, the
signaling in the siren is blocked. It enables installation work to be carried out. Opening
the tamper switch will not trigger loud signaling, but information on tamper will be sent
(when in service mode, the control panel will not signal the tamper alarms). The
command to block/unblock the signaling connected with starting / ending the test
mode or the service mode is sent during the response time.
9.3 Wireless expanders of hardwired zones and outputs
The wireless expander of hardwired zones and outputs (ACX-200 or ACX-201) takes up 4
zones and 4 outputs in the system. The alarm system zone / output to which the zone /
output in ACX-200 or ACX-201 expander is assigned is programmed in the same way as the
other hardwired zones / outputs of the control panel. You should remember however that
sensitivity of the expander zones may be different from that programmed in the control panel:
– from 20 ms to 140 ms – the same as the value programmed in the control panel;
– above 140 ms – only some values are available: 300 ms, 500 ms, 700 ms, etc. every
200 ms (the programmed value is rounded up to that supported by the expander).
The EN50131-3 standard requires that zones must react to signals lasting more than
400 ms. It means in case of the wireless expanders of hardwired zones and outputs
that no values exceeding 300 ms should be entered when programming the sensitivity
(the higher the value, the lower the sensitivity).
The expansion module informs you about the zone status as it changes. Also the expander
outputs are controlled in real time. Only the programming of zones takes place during the
response time (in one period, data relating to configuration of one zone are sent to the
expander module, i.e. sending the information on settings of four zones require four response
periods).
If communication with the controller is lost, all previously activated outputs will be
deactivated after 20 response periods.

SATEL ACU-250 17
Additionally, the ACX-201 expander module sends information about:
status of AUX1 and AUX2 power supply outputs – information on overload is sent when
the AUX1 or AUX2 output load exceeds 0.5 A.
battery status – information on low battery is sent when the battery voltage drops below
11 V for more than 12 minutes (3 battery tests). The expander will kept sending this
information to the controller until the battery voltage rises and remains above 11 V for
longer than 12 minutes (3 battery tests).
AC power status – information on the loss of power supply is sent when the AC power loss
lasts for more than 30 seconds. The AC power restore is reported with the same delay.
9.4 230 V AC wireless controllers
Activation of the output to which the controller is assigned will result in energizing the
230 V AC electrical circuit (if reverse polarity of the output has been programmed, the circuit
will be deenergized).
Depending on the operating mode, information on the button status (mode 0) or on the
electric circuit status (mode 1 and mode 2) is sent to the zone to which the controller is
assigned. Information on the button status is sent in real time. Information on the electric
circuit status is sent during the response time. Pressing the button / closing the electric circuit
means violation of the zone to which the controller is assigned.
10. APT-100 keyfobs
The maximum number of supported keyfobs depends on the maximum number of the control
panel users.
The data related to keyfobs are stored in the controller. After the controller containing
keyfob data is connected to the control panel, keyfobs will be automatically assigned
to the existing users.
10.1 Keyfobs in the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus system
The user can have one APT-100 keyfob. If more than one ABAX wireless system controllers
are connected to the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control panels, the keyfob will be supported
by all of them. The keyfob data are automatically saved to all controllers.
When connecting the controller to the INTEGRA 128-WRL control panel or to the control
panel to which the ABAX system controller is already connected, you should make uniform
the data relating to APT-100 keyfobs. In the keypad service mode, the COPY ABAX KFOBS
function is available (STRUCTURE HARDWARE EXPANDERS COPY ABAX KFOBS), which
enables copying of the keyfob data. In the DLOADX program, to write the APT-100 keyfobs
data to a new controller, open the "Keyfobs ABAX" window and do the following:
INTEGRA 128-WRL – click on the "Write to all" button (the button is available, when the
ABAX system controller is connected to the control panel).
other INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control panels – click on the "Read" button and
immediately after reading the data, click on the "Write" button (after the data are read, you
must not make any changes).
The functions are executed by means of controlling the status of system zones. Using the
keyfob, you can control up to 6 zones in the alarm system. These zones should not exist
physically and the wiring type programmed in them must be different from NO DETECTOR and
FOLLOW OUTPUT. You can program any function for these zones. Pressing the keyfob button

18 ACU-250 SATEL
(or two buttons simultaneously) will violate the zone and cause suitable reaction from the
control panel.
On pressing any keyfob button (not necessarily the one used to control a system zone),
information on the status of three selected system outputs will be presented on the keyfob
LEDs. Thus you can get confirmation that the function has been executed or information on
the current system status. The outputs whose status is presented by means of the keyfob
LEDs do not have to exist physically. The installer can indicate up to 8 outputs in the system
which will be used to inform the keyfob users (ABAX CONFIRMAT. function in the keypad
[SERVICE MODE STRUCTURE HARDWARE EXPANDERS ABAX CONFIRMAT.] or "Keyfobs
ABAX" window in the DLOADX program).
Pressing a button / combination of buttons in the keyfob can generate a keyfob use event.
For information on adding / removing keyfobs by means of the keypad please refer to the
control panel user manual.
In the DLOADX program, you can add and remove keyfobs in the "Keyfobs ABAX" window
(Fig. 5). The window opening command is available in the "Users" menu. Before making any
changes, click on the "Read" button, and after making the changes – on the "Write" button
(the data related to keyfobs are not read and saved after clicking on the button in the
DLOADX program main menu).
Removal of a keyfob will not erase its settings (dependences between the buttons
and zones, confirmation rules, etc.). When added to the user, the new keyfob will have
the same settings as the deleted one.
The installer can remove all keyfobs, including their settings, by means of the
REM.ABAX KEYFOB function available in the service mode in the keypad (STRUCTURE
HARDWARE EXPANDERS REM.ABAX KEYFOB).
