5 Version A
1.0 Introduction
The Control Module II (CM II) is part of the INTREPID™ family of products. Its’function as a system
controller is to be a “Poll Master” and poll all of the INTREPID Series II compatible IPP II (INTREPID Polling
Protocol II) sensor devices, relay input devices, and relay output devices that are connected to its
communications ports. It also has eight (8) relay outputs. When an alarm is detected on any device, it will send
the command to set the appropriate relay(s) on the output device(s).
As a Poll Master, the CM II communicates with other system devices using RS422 communications. This
communication can be done over 22 or 24 gauge stranded twisted shielded pair wire (max 5,000 feet [1,500m])
or fiber optic devices.
As an output device each CM II provides eight (8) form C relay outputs used to trigger camera presets, impact
lighting or any function that can be activated by a contact closure. Both Normally Open (N.O.) and Normally
Closed (N.C.) contacts are available at the terminal strip.
The CM II operates from 10.5 to 60 VDC @ 2 Watts. The operational current rating with standard power
supplies are: 12 VDC @ 150mA, 24 VDC @ 80mA and 48 VDC @ 45mA.
During installation, the CM II will automatically detect each INTREPID Series II device that is connected to its’
comports through a process called Device Discovery. This will provide a list of all possible alarm inputs and all
possible relay outputs. From this Discovery list, the installer will be able to define up to 256 Alarm Zone
Records, which defines the relationships between alarm inputs and relay outputs.
1.1 Limitations
When used in conjunction with other INTREPID Series II devices, a maximum of 16 devices can be connected
to the communications ports of the CM II as shown in Figure 1. Eight (8) to each port or sixteen (16) on any one
(1) port or any combination as long as it does not exceed sixteen (16) devices. The system can also be
configured as Fault Tolerant.

Figure 1 –Maximum Devices
The address range for these devices is limited to address 0 to address 239. The CM II has a fixed address of 254.
Regardless of configuration total length of all RS422 communications wire between devices must not exceed
5,000 feet (1,500 meters).

6 Version A
After configuration, the CM II will poll each discovered device every 125ms for alarms. With the maximum of 8
devices connected to the RS422 communications ports, any alarm will be received within a 1 second timeframe.
If more than 8 devices are on one communications port the polling time will be 150ms. Note: with the Tamper
Switch closed only the Pulse LED will be illuminated.
1.2 Basic System Requirements
A computer or laptop with Windows XP™, Vista™ or Windows 7™ operating system and a RS232 serial port
or USB port. Note; if a USB port is to be used, a USB to RS232 serial cable is required. The Windows USB
driver should be Version 1.0. A dB9 straight (not a null modem cable) male to female cable is required to
connect from the PC to the CM II. The Controller Setup Tool II (CST II) should be installed on the computer as
discussed in Section 3.0.
If copper wire is to be used, it is recommended that only stranded/twisted shielded 22 or 24 gauge wire be used
for communications between the CM II and other INTREPID™ Series II devices. The maximum distance
between any two devices should not exceed 5,000 feet (1,500m). Any variations from this schedule should
reference TIA/EIA TSB 89 - Applications Guidelines for TIA-422-B. Most RS422 fiber optic devices can be
used as well.

Figure 14 –Functional Testing and Verification Screen

18 Version A
The CM II will need the RS422 communications ports wired from the RS422-1 TX + / TX –to RS422-2 RX + /
RX –and RS422-1 RX + / RX –to RS422-2 TX + / TX –to test the RS422 ports communications. Transmit
plus (+) should be wired to Receive plus (+) and Transmit minus (-) should be wired to Receive minus (-).
The CM II will need a null modem cable connected from the Terminal port (dB9) to the Service port (dB9) to
test the RS232 ports communications.
Note: All LED’s should be illuminated as no programming has been done to the CM II. Selecting command 1, 2
or 3 will turn off all LED’s during these test functions.
6.2.6.1 Relay Test
Selecting command 1 will open the “Relay Test” screen as shown in Figure 15. The commands on this screen
will allow setting and clearing of a single relay or all relays of the CM II as a verification test.
Figure 15 –Relay Test
Selecting “Relay Test” command 1 will set a single relay output on the CM II. Enter the relay number to be set
and press enter. That relay and the associated LED will activate (the LED will turn on). Select “Relay Test”
command 2, enter the relay number and press enter to clear the relay output. Selecting command 3 will set all
relay outputs of the CM II. Command 4 will clear all the relay outputs.

20 Version A
After testing has been completed and successfully passed, press any key to return to the Functional Testing and
Verification screen as shown in Figure 15. Press “ESC” twice to return to the Main Menu.
Disconnect the local wiring at the CM II RS422 ports and make the wiring connections to all the devices that
will be used in the system at this particular site.
If the testing failed, replace the CM II (provided all wiring was correct for the test).
6.2.6.3 RS232 External Loopback Verification
Selecting command 3 will open the “RS232 External Loopback Verification” screen as shown in Figure 18. A
null modem cable connected between the two (2) dB9 ports will be required to perform this test.
Figure 18 –RS232 External Loopback Verification Screen
Once the command has been selected, remove the dB9 serial cable from the “Terminal” port and attach a null
modem cable between the “Terminal” and “Service” ports. The relays will start to cycle. When the relays
complete the process and stop cycling, disconnect the null modem cable and re-connect the dB9 serial cable
from the PC to the “Terminal” port.
Press any key to get the test results as PASSED or FAILED as shown in Figure 19. If the testing failed, replace
the CM II (provided all wiring was correct for the test).
