Pin learn
The polarity of pins can be learnt by the installer selecting the PL option on the button menu.
Pressing Set (S) at PL will flash PL on the display to prompt “Are you sure?”
Pressing Set (S) again will cause the unit to read the state of all 16 inputs and assume the
current state is the normal (no Alarm) state.
Pr will briefly be presented on the display as the new pin polarity config is written to flash
memory. The unit will then restart.
There is no requirement to “save the changes” after PL.
Example – to learn the pin polarity:-
Access the button config menu by holding M for 3 seconds. PL is displayed
Press S – the display now shows PL flashing for “Are you sure?”.
Press S – the display shows Pr as the new polarities are stored.
The unit restarts.
At any time the configuration mode can be exited by holding down M for 5 seconds
Test mode 1 (t1) Web console access
To allow access to the web console, the t1 menu must be entered and set to 1. Access to the
web console is then allowed. There is no need to save the change on the unit, simply use the
Set (S) button to toggle the t1 value to 1 and then press mode (M) to return to the t1 main
menu option. The unit will now have a static IP address of 192.168.222.222 for the duration
that t1 is set to 1. This does mean that a unit configured for IP/GPRS will be unable to
communicate across the IP path while in test mode 1. A comms fail on the IP path will
therefore be signalled to ARC after the normal time out (normally 3 minutes). The GPOP1
output will also operate after the time out (normally 4 mins) indicating single path fail. This is
considered normal. The GPRS path will still function OK while in test mode 1. i.e. the unit will
respond to incoming polls over GPRs and can be manually polled from the ESPUI if required.
The PSTN path will also function OK while test mode 1 is enabled. i.e. new alarms presented
to pins during test mode 1 can be sent over GPRS, or PSTN if required. They cannot be sent
over IP.
Test mode 1 will automatically exit after 20 minutes.
Test mode 1 can manually be set back to 0 (off) at any time by the installer.
Test mode 1 will revert to off if the unit is restarted. i.e. after clicking on the “save” button on
the web console.
See section on web console for further information.
At any time the configuration mode can be exited by holding down M for 5 seconds.
