2.2.2 DIP Switch Function
Communications Address—Sets the address that identifies the device on the communications line. This
number must be unique for each device on a single RS-485 communications line. In most systems, this
address will correspond to Reader 1 and the following addresses on the serial line will be reserved for
Readers 2 which uses this ‘virtual’ addresses (Unpaired & Paired mode).
Baud Rate—Specifies the baud rate for the serial line of interface. This setting must be the same for all
devices on the communication line connected to this port.
Input Monitor Mode—Specifies whether all inputs on the interface (Auxiliary inputs, door contacts, exit
push buttons) will be monitored by comparing the resistance value of the input line with the expected value.
ON—In the event of tampering with the input, the interface will report the specific type of error.
OFF—Inputs will operate in standard mode.

2.3 Connectors
The AIM-1/2SL has several connectors for interfacing with removable components. Take care when
installing and removing components in order not to damage pins or sockets. Do not use force greater than
gentle pressure when installing any components. Refer to the figure for the exact location of these
connectors. The connectors are also labeled on the AIM-1/2SL in white lettering on the circuit board.
2.3.1 Device Port Communication Driver Socket
Port Communication Driver Socket: J4
For the functioning of serial communication on the AIM-1/2SL, a proper communication driver must be
connected to the 12-pin socket. The communication driver module can be either ASM-48 (RS-485, part
number 430-131) or ASM-23 (RS-232, part number 430-132) depending on the type of communication
required on the port. The module should be installed so the long end extends towards the middle of the
board and the mounting holes provided on the AIM-1/2SL and ASM align so a plastic stand-off can be
attached to connect the holes. Alternatively, for network configurations, an ENI-10 or ENI-100 Ethernet
Interface Module can be installed in the socket. The ENI should be properly fastened with plastic screws and
standoffs provided with the ENI. METAL SCREWS AND STANDOFFS SHOULD NOT BE USED TO
MOUNT THE ENI.
2.3.2 Additional Connectors
Additional Connectors/Jumpers: J2, J3
These connectors and jumpers are used for factory configuration and should not be modified or connected in
any way unless directed by your technical support.
2.4 LEDs
The AIM-1/2SL has 2 LEDs for use in monitoring functioning of panel and for diagnosis of problems. The
LEDs function in two modes: startup and normal operation
2.4.1 Start Up Mode
Immediately after powering on the panel, the start-up test will initiate and the results will be displayed on the
LEDs. If there are no failures, the test will progress. If the panel encounters an error, it will stop with the failed
test and display the LED sequence corresponding to that test. The test sequence and the LED codes are:
