the network.
Required Tools & Data
You will need the following tools:
•
The 460MMBS Gateway
•
The provided CD-ROM
•
A Working PC (Windows based)
•
An Ethernet Crossover Cable
•
A 12-24 VDC power source
Connecting the 460MMBS Gateway device to the Alarm:
CAUTION:
The Gateway device should only be installed after all
wall construction and finishing is completed to prevent ingress of
dust and debris. This contamination can adversely affect its proper
function.
An Ethernet/Rabbit board should have already been installed in the
back box and programmed as described in the previous pages. See
the section on Integrating the Ethernet/Rabbit boards into a network.
The Gateway device configuration should be done at the Alarm
panel. The device can be clipped to the provided bracket in the top
right hand corner of the back box or be loose near the PC being used
to configure the device.
The power for the 460MMBS Gateway device will come from the
Orange (+) and Black (-) wires in the Alarm back box. Connect the
orange wire to the plug labeled RED (+) and the black wire to the
plug labeled BLACK (-). Refer to the wiring diagram on the page 55 for
proper connections.
The RS485 data wires, blue, white and black, have been pre-wired
to the input plug of the 460MMBS gateway. Connect the ends of
these wires the “MODBUS/RS485” plug on the rabbit board, White
wire to the “A” port, Blue wire to the “B” port and Black wire to “GRD”
port. Refer to the wiring diagram on page 50 for proper connections.
Always turn the power off to the alarm panel before making any
electrical connections or disconnections.
