Challenger10 Installation and Quick Programming Manual

Restoring the default installer PIN
If the installer PIN for user 50 has been changed and lost, you may need to reset
the PIN to default (4346). This is easily accomplished via management software.
However, if necessary, it can be done from the Challenger panel PCB.
Note:
This also defaults area group 1 back to areas 1 to 16 only, and defaults
RAS 1 on LAN 1.
To restore the default installer PIN:
1. Access the Challenger panel PCB.
2. Fit test link 1 (Figure 5 on page 11, item 22) momentarily, and then remove
the link.
Enabling communications
Although basic programming and administration of the Challenger system can be
done via a LCD RAS on the RS-485 LAN, most systems use management
software such as Titan, Security Commander, or Forcefield after installation. The
Challenger panel may communicate with a management software computer by
an alternative path to provide backup reporting of alarms.
This section describes the RAS programming required to prepare for
communications between the Challenger panel and a Titan management
software computer. Refer to the documentation provided with the management
software for additional details, if required.
Notes for New Zealand application:
• Refer to “Regulatory requirements for New Zealand” on page iii.
• If reporting via the Challenger panel’s onboard modem, the Communications
option “New Zealand Dialling” must be enabled.
Challenger10 programming
Challenger10 panels have a range of communications options, configured via
Install menu 9 Communications. The first two options in the Communications
menu are:
• 1. Setup H/W. This option is used to configure the communications ports on
the panel (onboard) and on expander modules (pending).
• 2. Setup Paths. This option is used to configure up to 10 communication
paths for connecting to various devices such as a management software
computer or a local printer.
Ten communication paths are available for simultaneous management software
connections, reporting via onboard dialler, printing events, and so on. The status
of each path can be quickly displayed via RAS to facilitate installation and
troubleshooting.
