ChallengerSE functionality
User capacity
TS1016SE Challenger Standard Edition (ChallengerSE) panels support 100
users. This capacity can be expanded to 2,000 users via a TS1082 User
Expansion Licence or 65,535 users via a TS1084 Memory Expansion Module.
Note: If a ChallengerSE control panel needs more than 2,000 users, then a
TS1084 Memory Expansion Module must be used in place of the TS1082 User
Licence Module.
Communications ports
When a ChallengerSE control panel is used without being fitted with a
communications module (such as a TS1091 Enhanced Communications
Licence) the ChallengerSE panel’s onboard Ethernet, USB, and RS-232
communications ports are time-limited.
When the ChallengerSE panel is initially powered, defaulted, or is restarted, the
communications ports can be used for 60 minutes. During this time, the top line
of the LCD RAS displays “Remote nn,” (where nn is the number of minutes
remaining, counting down from 60).
When the remote communications session expires, the panel’s communications
ports are deactivated, and the LCD RAS displays as per the programmed
settings.
If you need more than 60 minutes of communication, use the Service menu
option 6 “Management software for 60mins” to restart the timer. (This command
may be used at any time to enable the communications ports for 60 minutes.)

4 Challenger Series Installation and Quick Programming Manual
Before you begin
This section contains items that govern the installation of many different
Challenger system devices (including but not limited to the Challenger panel).
When installing a Challenger panel, or any other parts of the system, you need to
be aware of requirements for cabling and earthing, and plan accordingly.
NOTICE! A qualified service person, complying with all applicable codes, should
perform all required hardware installation.
Disclaimer: This manual contains requirements based on Australia and New
Zealand codes. It is not an authoritative reference regarding codes and has not
been reviewed by the responsible authorities. The codes may change and may
not be reflected in this document.
Cabling requirements
This section contains requirements for installers for the application and wiring of
Challenger equipment with respect to:
•System earthing
•RS-485 data cable (LAN) cabling
•Power supply from LAN or from external 12 V supply
System earthing
The following requirements are essential to the reliable operation of the
Challenger system.
•Each device’s GND link (if applicable) must be removed.
•For models TS1016, TS1016SE, or TS1016LE connect the earth conductor
from the 240/16 VAC plug pack earth to the Challenger panel’s earth terminal
(Figure 7 on page 15, item 3 or Figure 9 on page 18, item 3). For model
TS1016T connect the earth conductor from the 240 VAC terminal block to the
Challenger panel’s earth terminal. Do not extend this wire to any device
outside of the enclosure.
•Some Challenger devices have an earth lug (or stud) on the PCB and are
fitted with a link labelled “GND” or “EARTH”. In such cases, the device’s GND
or EARTH link must be removed. When configured correctly, there will be a
resistance value greater than 100 kΩ between the device’s earth lug (or stud),
or power earth terminal (similar to Figure 7 on page 15, item 3), and any “C”
or “0V” terminal on the device.
•Install LAN isolation devices between multiple buildings and maintain
independent earthing systems. For example, use TS0893, TS0894, or
TS0896 Isolation Interface modules to provide electrical isolation and/or to
extend distance.

Challenger Series Installation and Quick Programming Manual 5
Earthing of one cabinet containing several devices. All devices designed for
the system have earth connections via metal studs to the metal housing. Take
care that these metal studs have a good connection to bare metal (no paint).
Earthing of panels in a single building. In a single building several cabinets or
devices are earthed. A licensed electrician should check the integrity of the
building earth system.
Earthing of panels in more than one building. If the wiring extends to separate
buildings, use more than one common earth system. Install LAN isolation
devices, such as TS0893, to isolate the system LAN between buildings to protect
the system against differences in earth potential. See Figure 3on page 9.
Guidelines for retrofitting a Challenger V8 system
When replacing a Challenger V8 panel with a Challenger Series panel in an
existing installation:
•Where used, a device’s GND or EARTH link must be removed (if fitted).
Note: Challenger Series panels do not have a GND link.
•Where 240/16 VAC plug packs are used, connect the earth conductor to the
device’s power earth terminal (similar to Figure 7 on page 15, item 3).
•Connect one end only of the RS-485 data cable shield to a device’s LAN
earth terminal or earth lug (similar to Figure 7 on page 15, item 1).
•All other wiring compliant with Challenger V8 earthing via a Communications
Earth Terminal (CET) may remain unchanged.
Guidelines for new Challenger installations
When installing a Challenger panel in a new installation, follow the wiring
requirements of this manual including:
•Where used, a device’s GND or EARTH link must be removed (if fitted).
Note: Challenger Series panels do not have a GND link.
•Where 240/16 VAC plug packs are used, connect the earth conductor to the
device’s power earth terminal (similar to Figure 7 on page 15, item 3).
•Connect one end only of the RS-485 data cable shield to a device’s LAN
earth terminal or earth lug (similar to Figure 7 on page 15, item 1).
•Connections to building earth via CET are no longer required.
Note: For new installations the earthing and configuration instructions in this
manual supersede all previously-released installation instructions supplied with
other devices (unless otherwise noted).
RS-485 LAN cabling
The cabling requirements for an RS-485 system LAN are:
•Use 2-pair twisted shielded data cable such as Belden 8723.

6 Challenger Series Installation and Quick Programming Manual
•In each segment of LAN cabling, connect one end only of the data cable
shield to a device’s LAN earth terminal. Join data cable shields where cable
extends past a device that doesn’t have a LAN earth connection.
•The length of the LAN cable run should not exceed 1.5 km, unless LAN
isolation devices are used to extend the distance.
Power supply to RS-485 LAN devices
Devices on the LAN may be supplied from the panel’s or DGP’s + and – LAN
power terminals. Use an external 12 V power supply (such as TS0073 2 A Power
Supply) when:
•The device is more than 100 m (data cable length) from the panel
•Electrical isolation is required
•More power is needed than can be provided by the LANs
When powering a LAN device from an external 12 V power supply:
•Connect the external power supply’s ‘+’ terminal to the device’s ‘+’ terminal.
Do not connect the power supply + to the LAN +.
•Connect the external power supply’s ‘-’ terminal to the device ‘-’ terminal.
•Connect the LAN cable black wire ‘-’ to the device ‘-’ terminal.

6.
Terminate the control panel and the most distant device, or the devices at the ends of the
two longest LAN cable runs, as applicable.
7.
The RAS earth point should typically be connected to the data
cable shield. Alternatively,
it may be connected to building electrical earth (for example, if mounting to an earthed
metal fixture).
System configurations
A Challenger LAN may be configured in a variety of ways:
•Straight LAN, where the Challenger panel is at one end of a LAN cable run
•Star LAN, where multiple LAN cable runs are used in a branched
configuration
•Multi-building, where the LAN extends to more than one building
LAN 1 is required and LAN 2 is optional (ChallengerLE has only LAN 1). Each
LAN must be independently configured and terminated.
Straight LAN
In a straight configuration (Figure 1 on page 7), the Challenger panel is at one
end of the LAN cable run and all other devices are connected to the LAN cable.
The termination would be ON for the Challenger panel and for the last device on
the LAN.
Star LAN
In a star configuration, the LAN has at least two branches (Figure 2 on page 9)
optionally connected via a TS0844 Power Distribution Board (see “TS0844
Power Distribution Board” on page 10). The termination would be ON for the two
devices at the ends of the two longest cable runs.
Note: A star LAN configuration may consist of a number of cable runs
(branches). LAN termination should be ON only at the devices at the far ends of
the two longest branches. A star LAN that has multiple branches in excess of 100
m may need to use LAN isolation devices such as TS0893 LAN Isolation
Interface modules to isolate the LAN segments that do not have LAN termination
set to ON.

Challenger Series Installation and Quick Programming Manual 9
Figure 2: Star LAN configuration
Multi-building or long-distance LAN cabling
If the RS-485 LAN extends to more than one building, each building must have
its own earth system. LAN isolation devices, such as TS0893 LAN Isolation
Interface modules, are used to isolate the system LAN between buildings to
protect the system against differences in earth potential.
Figure 3below shows the use of two TS0893 modules to extend the RS-485 LAN
across two electrical installations. Each TS0893 module has a pair of termination
links, used to terminate (if applicable) the LAN segment on each side of the
module’s isolation barrier.

Using LAN devices to facilitate cabling
Various LAN devices may be used to provide electrical isolation and to reduce
cabling costs. LAN isolation devices can also be used to extend the distance of
LAN cabling beyond what can be achieved by a single cable run of 1.5 km. LAN
devices include the following:
•TS0844 Power Distribution Board. The TS0844 module can be used in
either data or power mode, as set by a pair of onboard links. The TS0844
module expands the number of physical connections that can be made to the
panel’s power or data output terminals.
•In data mode, each TS0844 module provides five sets of LAN out
connections and five sets of + and – auxiliary power output terminals.
•In power mode, each TS0844 module provides 10 sets of + and – auxiliary
power output terminals.
A TS0844 module is shown in Figure 2 on page 9.
•TS0893 LAN Isolation Interface.Provides an optical isolation barrier
between components on a Challenger (or Intelligent Access Controller) LAN.
The TS0893 can be also used as a LAN repeater; with up to three stages
cascaded together to increase the maximum LAN cabling run from 1.5 km to
6 km. TS0893 modules are shown in Figure 3on page 9.
•TS0896 RS-485 to Fibre Optic Interface. A pair of TS0896 modules, with
suitable optical fibre cable, may be used to extend the LAN to remote
buildings or locations within a building (for example where unused optical
fibre cable already exists).
•TS0098 Challenger IP LAN Adaptor: Multiple IP LAN Adaptor modules
enable Challenger LAN data to be carried over an IP network and to be
converted back to RS-485 communications for connection to LAN devices.

Installation guidelines
Challenger panels are designed, assembled and tested to meet the requirements
related to safety, emission and immunity with respect to environmental electrical
and electromagnetic interference, as of current relevant standards.
In addition to the general installation guidelines, installers must adhere to any
country dependent requirements of local applicable standards. Only a qualified
electrician or other suitably trained and qualified person should wire to and
provide General Purpose Outlets (GPO) or attempt to wire to the Public Switched
Telephone Network (PSTN).
The general installation guidelines are as follows:
•Mount the unit using screws or bolts through the four mounting holes in the
base. Ensure that the unit is mounted on a flat, solid, vertical surface so that
the base will not flex or warp when the mounting screws or bolts are
tightened.
•Allow 50 mm clearance between the equipment enclosures mounted side by
side, and 25 mm between the enclosure and any side wall or ceiling.
•Models TS1016, TS1016SE, or TS1016LE Challenger panels are powered
and earthed via a 16 Volt AC plug pack.

14 Challenger Series Installation and Quick Programming Manual
•Model TS1016T Challenger panel is powered from a 240 VAC mains
transformer and earthed via mains power earth.
•A power outlet (GPO) must be in proximity to the panel. Only qualified
Electricians should provide a GPO.
•The Challenger panel may have an onboard dialler or may be fitted with a
plug-on dialler module (TS1016LE). Telephone connections must be in
proximity to the panel. Only ACMA Cablers should provide telephone cabling.
•If the upper and/or lower cabinet entry cable holes are used to route wiring
into the control panel, always use a proper pipe fitting system by means of an
appropriate conduit and junction box. For this purpose, use only materials of
suitable flammability class.
•Avoid loops of wire inside the control panel cabinet and route cables so that
they do not lie on top or underneath the printed circuit board. The use of cable
ties is recommended and improves neatness of the wiring within the box.
•The battery used with this unit must be made of materials of suitable
flammability class (HB or better).
•Install equipment in a clean environment and where environmental conditions
are within the range specified in the product data sheet.
Installation procedures
A Challenger panel may need to be fitted with various add-on modules and
interfaces. See each product’s installation instructions for details.
Note: Expander modules must not be fitted to a powered Challenger panel.
Remove power before plugging an expander module onto the Challenger PCB.
To mount the Challenger enclosure:
1. Fix the enclosure to the wall via the enclosure’s four mounting holes (for
example, Figure 4 on page 11, item 1).
Make sure the enclosure is level, and the tamper switch (item 3) location isn’t
sitting over a line of mortar if you’re installing the enclosure on a brick wall.
To mount the tamper switch:
The two-way tamper switch detects removal of the cover from the enclosure,
and removal of the enclosure from the wall.
1. Insert the tamper switch into its metal bracket.
2. Insert the bracket with tamper switch into the 1 cm slot on top left-hand side
of the enclosure (for example, Figure 4 on page 11, item 3).
To mount the Challenger board to the enclosure:
1. Remove the Challenger board from its antistatic bag.
2. Use M3 x 14 pan head screws to fix the Challenger board to the enclosure’s
standoffs (for example, Figure 4 on page 11, item 2).
