User interface details
A touch screen RAS provides a graphical mode of operating a Challenger
system. In addition to the graphical mode’s advanced user interface, the touch
screen also has a classic mode that mimics a conventional LCD keypad.
Note: Different types of users may have levels of permissions to use the RAS.
For example, access to “Install menu” options may be limited to installers, the
ability to arm and disarm areas may be limited to users with “alarm” codes, and
the ability to open a door may be limited to users with “door” codes.
When idle (not in programming mode and in the absence of alarms or faults) the
touch screen resembles Figure 2 on page 2.

Mounting on a surface
When surface mounting, you may use either the top cable entry knockout or the
rear cable entry, depending on whether the cabling is external or internal to the
wall. Figure 9 on page 21 is a template forsurface mounting.
Toinstall the RAS:
1. Remove the two body retaining screws (Figure 1 on page 1, item 7), and set
aside for reuse.
2. Pull the bottom of the body away from the base to disengage the tabs at the
top, and then remove the body assembly from the base assembly.
3. Use the mounting template to locate the surface mount screw holes, and to
locate the rear cable entry (if used).
Take care that the tamper lever (Figure 3 on page 5, item 3) will be
depressed when the RAS is mounted.
4. Prepare the mounting holes in the mounting surface, as appropriate to the
type of surface.
5. If rear cable entry is required, cut a hole in the mounting surface forcable
access.
6. Use suitable screws to mount the base assembly to the surface.
7. Set the RAS address using DIP switches 1 through 4 (see “DIP switches” on
page 8).
8. Set the LAN termination using DIP switch 8, if required (see “DIP switches” on
page 8).
9. Terminate the cabling. Note: All power should be turned off to the Challenger
panel before wiring the RAS.
10. Hook the top of the body onto the mounting tabs on the base, and then swing
the bottom of the body into position to align the retaining screw holes at the
bottom.
11. Replace the two body retaining screws to secure the body to the base.
Flush mounting in a cavity
When flush mounting use the rear cable entry and the plasterboard mounting
bracket (supplied). Figure 10 on page 22 is a template for flush mounting.
Figure 5 on page 7 shows the arrangement of the plasterboard mounting bracket
inside a prepared wall cavity.
Tip: As an alternative to drilling holes in the plasterboard for the self-tapping
mounting screws to pass though, you may prefer to notch the plasterboard. In
either case, ensure the holes or notches will be completely covered when the
RAS is mounted.

TS1001 Touch Screen Arming Station Installation Manual
Tamper switch
Ensure the tamper switch is sealed when mounting the RAS.
The tamper switch (Figure 3 on page 5, item 3) must be sealed (or the tamper
function deactivated) to avoid “RAS Tamper” messages during operation.
Note: If sealing the tamper switch is not practicable you may need to deactivate
the tamper function. See “2-Tamper Control” on page 14 for details.
DIP switches
An eight-segment DIP switch is located on the PCB (see Figure 4 on page 5,
item 2) and is used for setting the RAS address and the LAN termination (TERM)
condition.
The seventh segment of the DIP switch is for factory test mode and must always
be set to OFF.
LAN address
RASs must be addressed in the range 1 to 16. Use the first four segments of the
DIP switch to set the LAN address. Refer to Table 2 below.

Note: If used with a Challenger V8 panel or a ChallengerLE panel, the rows
marked “LAN 2” in Table 2 on page 8 do not apply.
LAN termination
Use the eighth segment of the DIP switch to set TERM to ‘ON’, if needed.
If the RAS is the last device on the RS-485 LAN the LAN termination should be
ON. In a star wiring configuration, the RS-485 LAN may consist of a number of
cable runs (branches). LAN termination should be set to ON only forthe devices
at the farends of the two longest branches.
A star LAN that has multiple branches in excess of 100 m may need to use
TS0893 Isolated RS-485 to RS-485 Interface modules to isolate the LAN
segments that do not have LAN termination set to ON.
Connecting the RAS
A terminal block on the rear of the body assembly (see Figure 4 on page 5) is
used for connections to the Challenger panel’s RS-485 LAN, and optionally to an
egress push button and relay. Refer to Figure 6 on page 10.

10
TS1001 Touch Screen Arming Station Installation Manual
Figure 6: Terminal block connections
LAN connection (D+ and D–)
The RAS is connected to the Challenger panel via the RS-485 LAN, up to 1.5 km
cabling distance from the Challenger panel unless LAN isolation devices are
used to extend the distance).
We recommend that you use 2-pair twisted shielded data cable (such as Belden
8723) for the RS-485 LAN.
•D+ is the data positive connection of the LAN data bus.
•D–is the data negative connection of the LAN data bus.
LAN cable shield
The LAN cable shield must be connected to system earth at one end only. If the
LAN is ‘daisy-chained’ to the RAS, ensure that the shield of the cable is jointed to
provide continuity of data cable shield.
Power connection (+12V and GND) to Challenger panel
The RAS can be powered using the RS-485 LAN + and –power from the
Challenger panel, if the cabling distance does not exceed 100 m (if using Belden
8723) and when electrical isolation is not required.
Power connection (+12V and GND) to separate power supply
The RAS can be powered by an auxiliary power supply.

TS1001 Touch Screen Arming Station Installation Manual
11
When using an auxiliary power supply:
•Connect the ‘+’ of the local power supply to the +12 terminal of the RAS. Do
not connect the + power of the LAN to the RAS.
•Connect the ‘–’ of the local power supply to the GND terminal of the RAS and
to the –power of the LAN.
Egress Control and Open Collector (INPUT and RELAY)
Terminals INPUT and RELAY are optionally used for egress control and door
relay operation:
•INPUT —An Egress button (normally open, momentary push-button switch)
can be connected across the INPUT and GND terminals (see Figure 6 on
page 10). When pressed, the button controls the request to exit function to
the panel.
•RELAY —Open collector output must be assigned with a number according
to type of Challenger panel. For Challenger10 panels you can use any relay
number to drive the relay or output on this RAS. For Challenger V8 panels
use the first relay number of the relay control group assigned to the RAS (for
example, assign relay control group 1 to use relay 1, assign relay control
group 2 to use relay 9, and so on).
Egress functionality is enabled and disabled via the RAS programming option “1-
RTE (Egress) Control” on page 14.
Earthing
The RAS must be earthed via the earthing point on the base assembly (Figure 3
on page 5, item 8) or via the RAS mounting screws if the RAS is attached to an
earthed metal fixture (assuming there is a good electrical connection between the
mounting screws and the fixture). Consider the following cases:
Case 1: The RAS is mounted to a non-conductive fixture (such as a
plasterboard wall). Connect the RAS’s earth point to the Challenger LAN data
cable shield. The LAN cable shield must be connected to system earth at one
end only (via the LAN earth connection on the Challenger panel or DGP).
When connected to earth via the LAN data cable shield, and the LAN
complies with the cabling requirements in the Challenger10 Installation and
Quick Programming Manual R04 (or later), the RAS will have a good
connection to the building electrical earth (<10 Ω).
Note: If this segment of LAN data cable shield is connected to a
Challenger10 panel’s LAN earth terminal, the plug pack must be connected to
the panel and to a GPO in order to measure the resistance because the panel
is earthed via the plug pack earth wire.
Case 2: The RAS is mounted to a conductive metal fixture (such as a metal
door frame). You need to determine whether the RAS has a good connection
to the building electrical earth (<10 Ω) via the RAS mounting screws. If
connecting to earth via the mounting screws, do not connect the RAS’s earth
point to the Challenger LAN data cable shield.

12
TS1001 Touch Screen Arming Station Installation Manual
If the resistance is 10 Ω or greater, then you need to either connect the fixture
to the building electrical earth, or connect the RAS’s earth point to the
Challenger LAN data cable shield in the same manner as in Case 1 (above).
Note: Regardless of whether you are connecting the Touch Screen RAS to a
Challenger10 panel or a Challenger V8 panel, earth the RAS according to the
Challenger10 Installation and Quick Programming Manual R04 (or later).
Adjusting LCD and button brightness
The LCD screen and the physical keys are backlit when active, and are either off
or dimmed when inactive. After using the RAS, the state reverts to inactive after
the inactivity time expires (see “Inactivity Period” on page 13). If the display is off,
touch the screen or a key to activate the display.
Note: Adjust the active mode brightness of the RAS’s LCD screen and the
physical keys to suit the ambient lighting of the environment.
You can dynamically configure the touch screen RAS’s LCD display and physical
buttons via the Install menu option “This RAS Configuration” (not available in
classic mode).
Figure 7: Configuration screen
Use the Enter # key and * Menu key or the Up and Down arrows to navigate the
list. The configuration options are described in the following sections.
Note: LCD and button brightness can also be adjusted remotely via Install menu
option 28–Remote Controllers. See “Programming RAS menu options” on page
13.
LCD Brightness
Tap the slider bar to adjust the LCD screen brightness during activity (when
either the LCD screen or a button is pressed). The brightness changes
dynamically as you change the settings.
Note: We recommend using smaller values in order to minimise power use in
mains fail conditions.

Tap the slider bar to adjust the button brightness during inactivity. The brightness
changes dynamically as you change the settings. The brightness will reduce
following the period of inactivity defined in “Inactivity Period” below.
Note: We recommend using smaller values in order to minimise power use in
mains fail conditions. A value of 5% can help locate an inactive RAS in the dark.
Inactivity Period
Tap the slider bar to select from 5 to 300 seconds of inactivity before the inactive
brightness levels apply.
Note: We recommend using smaller values in order to minimise power use in
mains fail conditions.
Volume
Tap the slider bar to select from 0% to 100% levels of beeper volume. The
volume changes dynamically as you change the settings.
Programming RAS menu options
Touch Screen RASs have a number of options that are programmable at the time
of installation to help integrate the RAS into the local environment.
Note: If you are programming via this RAS, you can also use the Install menu
option “This RAS Configuration” (graphic mode only) to program the screen’s
brightness and timeout settings. See “Adjusting LCD and button brightness” on
page 12.
Use the following steps to configure a Touch Screen RAS at address nn (where
nn is a RAS address in the range 1 to 16 and 65 to 80).
Toprogram RAS menu options:
1. Use the Install menu option 28–Remote Controllers, and then select option
2–RAS.
2. Press the buttons that correspond with RAS address nn, and then press the
# button (or press the Enter # key). The main menu displays and lists the
product name and firmware revision number.
The RAS menu options are described in the following sections.

14
TS1001 Touch Screen Arming Station Installation Manual
1-RTE (Egress) Control
The RAS is fitted with an Egress (Exit) terminal labelled INPUT (Figure 6 on page
10). When connected to a simple push button, the open collector terminal
labelled RELAY may be used to control a door relay.
This option is enabled by default, and should be disabled if not used.
2-Tamper Control
The RAS is fitted with a tamper switch (Figure 3 on page 5, item 3). The tamper
must be sealed (or the tamper function deactivated) to avoid “RAS Tamper”
messages during operation.
This option is enabled by default, and should be disabled if not used.
3-Scramble Keypad
The touch screen can become worn or dirty over the buttons where a particular
digit or PIN is used frequently. The scramble keypad option moves the numbered
buttons to different positions after every login to avoid providing visual clues to
the numbers used.
This option is disabled by default.
4-Open Button
The Home screen’s optional Open button (Figure 2 on page 2, item 3) is used to
open the RAS’s door. If disabled, the Open button does not display on the Home
screen.
5-Classic Button
The Home screen’s optional Classic button (Figure 2 on page 2, item 4) is used
to select Classic mode of operation. If disabled, the Classic button does not
display on the Home screen.
6-Automation Button
The Home screen’s optional Automation button (Figure 2 on page 2, item 7) is a
‘quick control’ shortcut to User menu option 24-Automation Control.
Note: Quick control does not require user authentication via PIN. We
recommend that control be assigned to a specific RAS (in a secure area) via
automation zone programming in order to help prevent unauthorised use.
If disabled, the Automation button does not display on the Home screen.
