Single device installation
A single device installation uses only AH15
communication hubs with the address range from
1 to 63, according to this figure:
Lock
0x01
Lock
0x02
Lock
0x2F
AH15
0x01
AH15
0x02
AH15
0x2F
Address 1-31 (-63 using the Programming application)
. . .
. . .
. . .
Lock
0x03
AH15
0x03
Lock
0x11
AH15
0x11
Lock
0x12
AH15
0x12
Lock
0x21
AH15
0x21
In this installation example, no address conflicts
will occur since the lock address is equal to the
communication hub address (and provided that
the DIP Switches are set correctly with a unique
address for each communication hub).
Upgrading existing installations
When upgrading existing installations with new
locks or/and communication hubs or replacing old
hardware a general guideline is to first write down
the EAC addresses used originally in the installation
and consult the addressing table when adding
AH30 communication hubs.
Replacement of communication hubs in single
device mode
When replacing AH15/AH30 communication
hubs that are paired with one lock with a new/
reused communication hub, always make sure that
the replacement communication hub does not
have any locks paired. If so use the Programming
Application to unpair any locks.
Upgrading firmware in AH30 communication hubs
The latest firmware (2.6.0 or later) for AH30
communication hubs adds the functionality to use
DIP Switch addresses in the range of 16-31 (DIP
switch 5).
Before upgrading make sure that your existing
AH30 communication hubs do not have
DIP 5 activated. If DIP 5 is activated and the
communication hub is paired with only one lock,
the firmware upgrade will result in that the EAC
address is changed according to DIP 5, for both the
communication hub and the lock.
Upgrading an AH15 installation with one-to-sever-
al AH30 communication hubs
If a maximum of 15 communication hubs will be
used after the upgrade, no address conflict will
occur, provided that all communication hubs use
a unique address. If more than 15 communication
hubs are used in the resulting installation,
address conflicts can occur when adding AH30
communication hubs in the address range of 1-15
with several locks paired.
1) Note the EAC addresses used in existing installation.
2) Consult the AH30 addressing table and select an EAC
address that is not in conflict with already installed
AH15 communication hubs in the address range
15-63.
3) If address conflicts occur you must change the
EAC address of one or several existing AH15
communication hubs. Also make sure that all
communication hubs are using a unique address.
