Outputs
There are two relay outputs on screw terminals at the top of the unit.
Output 1 is COMMS, Output 2 is FUNC.
See further sections on outputs for a detailed explanation.
Serial data connections
The serial data connection labelled TX, RX, B and A is configurable for RS485
or RS232 connection, depending on the panel.
This is done in the configuration menu. These ports allow serial alarm panel connection.
See the Panel Upload-Download section.
Dial capture
The dial capture (DIAL CAP) terminals allow the unit to interface with an alarm panel’s
digital communicator. The alarm panel can then send SIA, CID or Fast Format messages
through the unit to the ARC.
You can also use dial capture for upload-download UDL, allowing remote access with
some types of alarm panel.
Ethernet connection
Connect the Ethernet port to a suitable Ethernet network using CAT5 cable.
For most IP installations you can use a standard Ethernet patch cable.
Wi-fi connection
2.4Ghz b/g/n wi-fi is available as an alternative to the wired Ethernet connection.
Aerial connection (for wi-fi only)
Connect the supplied aerial to the MMCX connector on the top right of the unit. Place
the aerial in a vertical position that receives the best wi-fi coverage. Carry out a survey to
establish the best location.
If necessary, a selection of high gain and extension aerials are available from the BT
