SA-ETH Ethernet Interface
Card Installation Sheet
Operation
The SA-ETH card provides a standard 10/100 Base-T Ethernet
network connection for connecting to a local network. The card can be
used for uploading and downloading panel configuration, history, and
current status to a PC running the configuration utility or connect to a
compatible central monitoring station receiver over a network.
Installation
The Ethernet card is installed on the plastic assembly and connects to
the main circuit board via a ribbon cable.
Note:
The Ethernet card must be configured through programming for
proper operation.
To install the Ethernet card:
1. Power down the panel by first disconnecting the batteries, and
then disconnecting the main AC power.
2. Locate the card slot on the plastic assembly behind the main
circuit board and connector J1 on the main circuit board (at the
top-right of the main board).
3. Slide the card into the slot on the plastic assembly as shown in the
Figure 1.
4. Attach the card to the plastic assembly using two #6 plastite
screws as show in Figure 2.
5. Connect the ribbon cable (P/N 7140189) from the card to
connector J1 on the main circuit board. J1 is located on the
top-right of the main circuit board.
6. Connect the network cable. See “Wiring.”
7. Power up the panel by first connecting the main AC power, and
then connecting the batteries.
