HARDWIRED ZONE / OUTPUT
EXPANDER WITH POWER SUPPLY
ACX-201
acx201_en 11/12
The ACX-201 expander of hardwired zones and outputs with power supply is
designed to work together with the ACU-100 wireless system controller. It is
supported by the ACU-100 controller with firmware version 1.06 or later. 4 zones and
4 outputs enable hardwired equipment (detectors, sirens, etc.) to be connected to the
wireless system. The expander zones can be configured similarly to the hardwired
ones. The expander outputs are relay type outputs. The ACX-201 expander occupies
4 positions on the list of devices which can be operated by the controller. It has a built-
in switching mode power supply with 1.2 A output current capacity and a battery
charging and control system with disconnection of discharged battery.

Description of terminals:
AC - 18 V AC input. Connect alternating voltage from transformer
secondary winding to the AC terminals. The minimum input voltage
at the maximum transformer load by the module may not drop below
16 V AC.
COM - common ground.
AUX1…AUX2 - supply output. When connecting power consumers (detectors,
modules with no power supply, etc.) be careful so as not to cause
overloading. It is advisable that the power supply load balance be
prepared. The total of input currents of power consumers and
battery charging current may not exceed the power supply output
current.
C1…C4 - common terminal of the relay output (C1 – output 1, C2 – output 2,
etc.).
NC1…NC4 - terminal normally closed to the common terminal of the relay output
(NC1 – output 1, NC2 – output 2, etc.). The terminal opens when
active.
NO1…NO4 - terminal normally isolated from the common terminal of the relay
output (NO1 – output 1, NO2 – output 2, etc.). When active, the
terminal is closed to the common terminal.
TMP - tamper circuit input of the module (NC). Leads of the expander
housing tamper contact can be connected to TMP and COM
terminals. If the TMP input is unused, it should be closed to the
common ground.
Z1…Z4 - zone.
2. Installation
The ACX-201 expander of hardwired zones and outputs should be installed indoors,
in spaces with normal air humidity.
Before connecting the transformer to a power circuit from which it will be
supplied, deenergize the circuit.
Never connect two devices with a power supply to one transformer.
As the expander has no switch for disconnecting the AC supply, it is
important to let know the owner / user of the equipment how it should be
disconnected from the mains (e.g. by indicating the fuse which protects
the expander supply circuit).
Before permanent mounting of the expander, check the level of signal
received from the expander by the ACU-100 controller and, if necessary,
change the place of installation so as to select the optimum location in
terms of communication.
1. Select the place where the ACX-201 expander is to be installed. When selecting
the mounting place, take into consideration the electrical system of the facility. For
the supply source, select the circuit which is always energized. The circuit should

be protected with a suitable fuse. It is recommended that the expander be
mounted as high as practicable. This will enable a better radio communication
range to be achieved, while avoiding the risk of the expander being accidentally
covered by personnel moving around the premises. Using the ARF-100 tester,
make sure that the level of radio signal will be suitable at the place where the
ACX-201 expander is to be installed. Select another place of installation, if
necessary.
2. Install plugs for fastening the expander electronics board in the housing.
3. Pull all the necessary installation cables (for 230 V AC supply, connections
between hardwired devices and the expander, etc.) through the opening in the
rear panel of the housing.
4. Attach the housing to the wall.
5. Secure the expander board in the housing.
6. Attach the antenna to the housing and connect it to the onboard socket.
7. Connect all the required leads to the expander terminals.
8. Connect the mains supply cables to the 230 V AC transformer terminals. Connect
the ground cable to the terminal designated by the earth symbol , situated on
the rear panel of the metal housing.
9. Turn on 230 V AC supply. Measure the voltage across the battery leads (the
correct value is between 13.6 and 13.8 V DC) and check that all the consumers
are appropriately supplied.
10. Turn off 230 V AC supply.
11. Connect the battery. The expander will not start upon connecting the battery
alone.
Note: When the battery voltage drops below 11 V, the expander will send
information on the battery failure to the ACU-100 controller, and when the
voltage goes down to about 9.5 V the battery will be disconnected.
12. Turn on 230 V AC supply and add the ACX-201 expander to the wireless system
(see the ACU-100 controller user manual). A label with 7-digit serial number that
should be entered during registration of the expander in the system is provided on
the electronics board.
Note:Should a situation occur that the expander supply must be disconnected
completely, disconnect the mains first and the battery second. To reconnect
the power supply, do it in the reverse order (i.e. the battery first, and then the
230 V alternating voltage).
13. Close the housing.
14. Configure the expander zones to suit your requirements. For information about the
ACX-201 expander configuration, see the ACU-100 controller user manual.
