Software/Firmware/Installation Requirements
Installation of Vantage products should be performed or
supervised by a Certified Vantage Installer. Design Center
Software, version 3.3.X.X or higher must be used to program
controller models with the “-II”. Using IC-1 and IC-II controller
models on the same system, is not supported. Disconnect power
when plugging in or un-plugging the controller’s power connector.
Use a dedicated breaker to power the controller. Multiple InFusion
Controllers may share the same breaker when in close proximity.
Powering the DIN Controller
The DIN Controller must be wired to Vantage’s PSU36-DIN 130W,
36VDC or ACPDXXSM2 60W, 24VDC power supply. Power
supplies must be mounted to 35mm DIN rail in any standard DIN
Enclosure compatible with the maximum power dissipated. Before
using pull out the lithium battery tab insulator on the DIN
Controller. Connect the positive (+) output of the power supply to
the 24V/36V screw terminal and the negative side to one of the
ground terminals. The Controller and Power Supply must be earth
grounded. Carefully follow the Wiring Diagrams below. DO NOT
USE ANY OTHER POWER SUPPLY*.
*NOTE: Another (Vantage Certified) 96W, 24VDC power supply,
DIN POWER-MC, is also available in the European region from
Vantage EMEA; visit, www.vantage-emea.com.
NOTE: The earth ground on the DIN Controller and power supply
should be the ONLY earth ground connection in this DIN
Controller’s immediate system. Controller Bus (connections
between controllers) connections are isolated so a new earth
ground reference for each Controller is normal.
Vantage recommends a minimum 0.75mm2/ 18AWG wire,
stranded, between the power supply and the controller.
Recommended: keep wires no longer than 1 meter between
the power supply and the controller.

Controller Address
The DIN Controller’s address is assigned through the front panel
buttons on the DIN Controller.
Follow these steps to set the Controller Address:
With the Controller on screen 1 (HOME), press any button on
the front of the Controller
Press the 4th button under “C2C”
Press the second button under “Next” until the cursor is at
the Controller number, “C#” for 10s place and again for 1s
place.
Press the button under “Adj” until the address is correct.
Valid addresses are from 01 to 31.
Press the button under “Set” to save the setting
The DIN Controller will reboot with the new address
Make sure Design Center has the same controller address
InFusion Controller Setup in Design Center
Every new project in Design Center automatically includes an
InFusion Controller. Additional controllers are added as the project
grows, however it is possible to add additional Controllers at any
time.
Replacing and/or Upgrading InFusion Controllers
See IMPORTANT: Steps Upgrading Equinox Systems before
completing these steps. To convert an existing project from IC-1 to
IC-II controllers, open the file in Design Center 3.3*or higher and
follow these steps:
1. Select Enclosure View and right click on the first controller
and select Convert to Second Generation Controller.
2. The message box is opened explaining that all controllers will
be converted. Answer OK.
3. All of the controllers are then converted to generation II
controllers with original programming.
*IMPORTANT: Steps Upgrading Equinox Systems
Projects with Equinox devices should do the following.
1) Program the system one more time with the old project file
before replacing the controllers, (assuming the old controllers
will accept programming from Design Center). Be sure Read
and Restore, Equinox Profiles and User Data is checked.
Move to new Controllers
2) With the newly converted file opened in Design Center, click on
System | Backup and Restore | Restore Equinox Data From
Backup,
3) Select the most recent *.EQUD file; answer yes to the question
below.
4) Design Center will program the system with the new file and
restore Equinox data to new controllers stored in the *.EQUD
file.
Programming the InFusion Controller
Programming is created and edited in Design Center software and
saved as a project file. Projects are then downloaded to the system
controllers via a local or remote connection to the local network. It
is recommended to have one micro SD flash card per system and
that the micro SD card be placed in the same controller used to
connect Design Center (faster).
Program Controller Using A Direct Connection From Computer
If the controller is not connected to the local network, it is possible
to program the controller by connecting the computer directly to
the controller via an Ethernet cable – standard or cross-over type.
Set the controller IP address to the Default setting,
192.168.0.<controller number>
Set the computer’s IP address to 192.168.0.40 or similar
(USB connection between Design Center and IC-II controllers is not
supported.)
Ethernet Port Settings
In Design Center select either a standard or secure (SSL)
Ethernet connection.
If using Secure Ethernet protocol, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
recommended, Design Center checks a security certificate
against a security certificate stored on the controller. If they do
not match a warning is displayed.
It is recommended to double check the IP address of the
controller. If the IP address is correct, change the connection to
standard Ethernet and re-download the controller firmware. This
procedure will also require the system to be re-programmed
after the firmware update. Updating all controllers firmware
shipped with Design Center 3.3, or higher, should clear this error
for future SSL connections, unless a certification problem exists.
Remote Programming and Maintenance
Remote programming and update capability may save unnecessary
trips to actual sites. With remote updates, care should be taken to
ensure that updates are complete and the system’s new
programming functions properly.
Remote Access Ethernet Port Settings
For standard Ethernet connections, forward ports 2001 and 3001
to the IP address of the InFusion Controller.
For Secure Ethernet connections (SSL), forward ports 2010 and
3010 to the IP address of the InFusion Controller.
When using a static IP address on the controller the gateway
must also be setup on the controller.
Allow the Ping operation – used by Design Center to verify its
connection.
In Design Center enter the IP Address of the router or modem
assigned from the ISP. Design Center may also require a User
Name and Password if security has been enabled.
Backup Memory Via Micro SD Card
A micro SD flash card slot is provided for program backup and
allows automatic backups periodically performed by the controller.
Stores backup of all programming for project file.
Stores graphic rich web interface (i.e., WebPoint Lite).
SD cards directly accessed using Design Center Diagnostics.
InFusion System (all Controllers) may be programmed/re-
programmed from the micro SD card connected to any
Controller without running Design Center or connecting a
computer.
Typically, only one micro SD card is recommended per
system.
Replace the existing micro SD card when inserting an Equinox
multiple license micro SD card.
Controller to Controller Wiring
C2C Ethernet Bus
Today’s integrated devices use ever increasing amounts of
metadata. For this reason it is recommended to use C2C Ethernet
communication between multiple controller systems. Each
controller should have its own Ethernet connection to the local
Notice different icons (left) old (right) new.
Use same process to convert back to first
generation controllers.

I N S T A L L A T I O N
©Vantage, 8/17/2016 / IS-0600-B DIN InFusion Controller II — MODEL: IC-DIN-II page 3 of 7
Example B:
The “A” controllers and the
“B” controllers have been
assigned channel numbers
1and 2respectively:
Channel 1 for IC 1-A
and IC 2-A.
Channel 2 for IC 1-B
and IC 2-B.
This now allows each
controller on the network
to only talk to its co-
controllers and ignore
other controllers.
Example A:
IC 1-A sees both IC 2-A and
IC 2-B controllers. It does
not know which IC 2 belongs
to its network. At the same
time IC 1-B also has the
same problem.
network. In turn the local network should have access to the
internet. With this type of connection it may be necessary to assign
unique Channels from the IC’s front panel, in case more than one
InFusion Design Center System is on a network (See Front Buttons
| Screen 16 later in this document). With this type of connection
InFusion network distances are only limited to the network itself.
C2C Ethernet connection must be Enabled.
Controller Bus
When connecting multiple controllers via Controller Bus, Vantage
recommends the use of 16-18 AWG 2-conductor, twisted pair, non-
shielded wire from IC to IC. This is a polarized connection with “+”
and “–“ screw terminals. The maximum wire length sum for all
controllers connected together may be up to 2,000ft. using the
above wire specification.
Main Enclosure Terminal Board – Terminator Switch
If one or two InFusion Controller are used, the Controller Bus
Termination switch is always ON. This switch is located on the Main
Enclosure Terminal Board. If more than two Main Enclosures are
used ONLY the first and last Main Enclosure Terminal Boards on
each Bus should have the Controller Bus Termination switch ON.
NOTE: Termination switch has no affect on C2C communication.
When updating an existing Vantage system to generation II
controllers the existing Controller Bus may be left. However, if
possible, run Ethernet to each controller on the updated system
and enable C2C Ethernet Bus communication. The new controllers
will use the C2C connection as primary and use the Controller Bus
as a backup.
For additional Enclosure wiring information, please see:
Enclosure Instructions (click to open).
Front Buttons
Through front panel buttons on the InFusion Controller edit or see,
time, IP connection, IC Information and other settings. The
Controller may be placed in service mode from the front controls.
Service Mode:
Press and hold the EXIT button.
Press and release the RESET button.
Continue holding EXIT for about 5 seconds, then release.
Press RESET by itself to exit
service mode.
Service Mode Screen should
appear
similar:
SCREEN 4, IP SETTINGS – A static IP address may be assigned to
the IC. Once a static IP address has been assigned to the Controller
and saved, the NM: (NetMask) address displays automatically. With
the NetMask field highlighted click the Adj. button to change
settings for NM, GW, DNS1, and DNS2. Adjust each communication
protocol as needed. The NM and GW settings are necessary for the
controller’s internet access and the connection of remote Equinox
devices.
SCREEN 6, DHCP – This screen allows the InFusion Controller to
obtain an IP address automatically through DHCP. Record this
address in the Design Center project file for future connections
through Ethernet.
SCREEN 7, CONTROLLER INFORMATION – This screen shows
information about the IC.
Uptime – the amount of time the IC has been operating without
losing power, reported in days:hours:minutes.
RAM – Free Memory / Total Memory
oRAM: This is the active memory, Random Access Memory
and is volatile.
●Flash – Free Memory / Total Memory
oFlash memory is nonvolatile like the Hard-Drive on a
computer. This is the main memory storage area for all
programming. Data is compressed when downloaded.
Backup – System must contain a micro SD card to create a
current backup of the system via the micro SD card. Answer
Yes or No to create or cancel the new backup.
Restore*– System must contain a micro SD card. Pressing
button 3 or 4 will open a screen allowing the selection from a
history of backups. Select which backup is wanted with
Up/Down buttons and then press Select. Answer Yes or No to
execute or abort the restore.
*This will re-program all of the controllers on the system from
the selected backup. When a backup has been manually
executed an Undo option appears in the backup history list.
SCREEN 16, C2C SETTINGS – This screen is very important when
using IP for controller to controller communication. C2C— Ethernet:
(Eth:) must be Enabled.
Channel: Because more than one InFusion System may be on a
single network a unique channel (Chn:) number may be assigned to
the controllers for each InFusion System. The Peer number is
assigned automatically.
Example, it is possible to have two or more ICs with address 1,
address 2, and etc., in a large building containing two or more
InFusion systems. These InFusion systems can all be on one
network. Assigning a unique
channel number to each
Controller group allows the
identically addressed
controllers to operate as
independent systems on the
same network.
Peers: This is a bitmask of all
controllers visible to this
controller displayed in HEX. Convert to binary to see controllers
position. Each “1” in binary, is a Controller.
Example: Peers:

Possible Ground Loop Issues
All RS-232/RS-485 connections between third party equipment and RS-232/RS-485 connections on the DIN Controller, may produce a ground
loop. Often the third party connected RS-232/RS-485 device is not using the same power source or is far away from the DIN Controller resulting
in a possible ground loop or data noise condition. If this condition is suspected, Vantage recommends a third party RS-232/RS-485 Opto
(optical) Isolation Module. Opto Isolation provides a communications link and is an important consideration if a system uses different power
sources, has noisy signals or must operate at different ground potentials.
