The AC-160-DIN Wireless multipurpose relay for DIN rails 

The AC-160-DIN wireless multipurpose relay for DIN rails 

1 / 2 

MLZ54300 

The AC-160-DIN wireless multipurpose relay is a component of 

the JABLOTRON 100 system. The relay copies the status of 
selected PG outputs when enrolled to the control panel. In that 
case it occupies one position in the control panel 

(control panel 

doesn´t occupy a position in a relay module).

  

Relay can also be used as a stand-alone device, then it follows 

status of up to 64 one-way communicating detectors (JA-15x 
series) according to the selected mode (Modes: extended copy, 
impulse, change of status, always switches off and block the relay). 
It has galvanically isolated relay contacts for switching power loads 
of 230 V / 16 A. This product can only be installed by a trained 
technician with a valid certificate issued by an authorised 
distributor.

 

The output relay can be controlled by the button (3) on the front 

panel. In stand-alone mode the button serves for enrolling devices 
and setting the module properties. 

Installation 

 

 

The device can only be connected to 

mains electricity by a person who has an 

adequate electrotechnical qualification 

It provides single pole switching which 

doesn´t provide safety isolation

.

 

The relay module is meant to be installed 

on a DIN rail. There must be a JA-11xR 
radio module enrolled to the control panel to 
ensure cooperation with the system. It 
occupies one position in the JA-100 system. 

 
 

Figure 1: 1 – mains power terminals 230 V AC;  

2 – LED indicators;  

3 – Learn / Set button; 4 – cover tabs; 

5 – connector for AN-868 external antenna;  

6 – relay output terminals 

 

 

1.  Install the relay onto the DIN rail. 
2.  Connect the power wires (230 VAC) to 

the terminals (1), and turn the power on. 

3.  Proceed according to the control panel 

installation manual. Basic procedure: 
a.  When the relay has been turned on, the yellow LED (2) 

lights permanently to indicate the relay has not been 
enrolled to the system yet. 

b. Using 

F-Link

 software, select the required position in the 

Devices

 window and launch the enrollment mode by 

clicking on the 

Enroll

 option. 

c. 

By pressing the 

Learn/Set

 (3) button longer then 3 s (until 

the yellow LED starts flashing) the relay sends the 
enrolling signal to the control panel. Enrolling to the 
control panel is confirmed when the yellow LED goes off. 

4. Test the relay function by pressing the button (3). After 

approximately 0.5 s the output relay is actived. A switched relay 
is indicated by a red LED (RELAY). 

5.  Connect the controlled device to the terminals (6). 

Notes: 

-  The relay goes to standby mode, when the mains is cut off or 

communication is lost with the control panel for more than 
1 minute. When the relay has lost communication with an 
enrolled device then the restoration interval is 20 minutes (lost 
communication is indicated by permanent lighting of the ERR 
yellow LED). When the mains or communication with a control 
panel is restored, the relay returns to the status given by 
pre-defined settings within 2 minutes (for wireless detectors 
with a periodical link test such as the JA-151M, it can take up to 
9 minutes) 

-  It is also possible to enrol the relay to the system by entering 

the production code via F-Link software. A sticker with the 
production code is on the rear side of the relay. All digits in the 
code are required (1400-00-0000-0001) 

JA-18x detectors are not compatible with the relay 

-  Multiple-input detectors such as the JA-150M are always 

enrolled to one position and the relay is only triggered by the 
first input of the detector. The second input has no effect. 

-  After each Learn/Set button press the relay changes its status 

after 0.5 s, as well as when an enrollment signal is transmitted 
or while entering the relay’s service mode – indicated by the 

RELAY LED. When a control panel is already enrolled, the 
function can be disabled, see the settings below. 

Setting the module properties 

The module properties can be set in the 

Devices

 window of the 

F-Link

 software. When at the module position, use the 

Internal settings

 option to open a dialogue window where you can 

set the following options:

 

Manual relay control 

(3)

:

 Enabled: a short button press changes the 

relay state (switches ON/OFF). Manual control is always possible 
even if communication with the control panel is being performed. 
Manual control can be completely disabled. 

Reacts to PG(s):

 This option allows selection of the way the relay is 

triggered by one or more control panel PG outputs. 

Common timer:

 Determines the period for which the output relay will 

be switched ON. The function differs according to the pre-set mode of 
the associated detector. This parameter serves for setting the timing of 
the switching impulse. A status-mode type of detector with an 
“extended copy” reaction set makes the relay stay active for the whole 
time even when the detector goes to standby. The timer can be set in 
pre-defined steps or the desired value up to 23h 59min 59s 

Enrolled devices:

 This window includes 64 positions for 

enrolling detectors. There are two options to enroll them to the 
relay: the first is to enter the production code into the 

production code

 field and the second is enrolling them via the 

Learn/Set button for which see chapter 

Enrolling the detectors

. In 

this case if used with JA-100 system it is recommended to use the 
internal menu for a final check of the activation modes of enrolled 
detectors. 

 

 

 

The relay internal settings do not work in 
on-line mode. That´s why it is not possible 
to enroll devices via F-Link SW by only 
inserting batteries. It is only possible by 
entering the serial number and saving the 
settings.

 

Mode:

 This option determines how the relay will react to the 

activation of an enrolled detector. 

None:

 the detector has no function 

Extended copy:

 if the associated status-mode detector has 

the 

copy

 function already set

,

 the relay will be switched ON for 

as long as the detector is activated. If the common timer has 
been previously pre-set, the relay switches off with this pre-set 
delay after detector deactivation. 

Impulse:

 detector activation will switch ON the relay for a pre-

defined time given by the Common timer

 

Change status:

 detector activation changes the relay status

 

Always switching off:

 detector activation always switches off 

the relay

 

-  

Block:

 A particular active status-mode detector blocks 

switching the relay by other detectors for its whole activation 
period. If this status-mode detector goes to standby the 
Common timer is no longer effective. When blocking is over, 
the relay is activated again if any status-mode detector is 
activated. The blocking is indicated by the green LED flashing, 
blocking during other detector activation is indicated by 
alternate flashing in green / red of the RELAY LED.

 

FW upgrade 

1.  A FW upgrade can be performed by a user with Service 

authorisation. 

2. 

F-Link

 SW is needed to perform the upgrade. 

3.  Using a thin tool (screwdriver) slightly press a tab (4) and take 

off the relay front cover. It allows access to the Micro USB 
connector. 

4.  Connect the PC to the relay using a Micro USB cable. A FW 

upgrade can be performed with a connected control panel or 
offline with only the relay connected. 
The relay can be powered by 230 V AC, the USB circuits are 
galvanically isolated. A power supply is not required as the 
relay is powered via the USB cable from the PC. 

5.  The relay’s BOOT mode is indicated by flashing of the green / 

red RELAY LED. 

6.  Then continue as if you are doing an upgrade via
