In case of many devices that occupy two or more positions on the device list, you can
select how many positions are to be occupied when registering them to the controller.
7.1.1 Expander of wireless devices for the INTEGRA / INTEGRA Plus control
panel
Data on wireless devices are stored in the controller. If you connect to the control
panel a controller:
with registered devices – during identification procedure, these devices will be
automatically assigned to the system zones / outputs.
with registered keypads – during identification procedure, the keypads will be added
to the system. However, if their addresses coincide with those of other devices
installed in the system, the identification procedure will be unsuccessful.
Most of the ABAX 2 wireless devices are identified in the alarm system by the names
known from the ABAX system.
For information about registering the INT-KWRL2 keypad, consult the keypad manual.
To add or delete devices, you can use the DLOADX program or LCD keypad (for more
information on the DLOADX program and LCD keypads, refer to the control panel manuals).
The number of devices you can register to the controller depends on the control panel
(INTEGRA 24 – up to 16; INTEGRA 32 – up to 24; other control panels – up to 48). Each
position on the device list represents one wireless zone or one wireless zone and one output.
When adding and removing the wireless devices, remember that the identification function
registers zones and outputs by groups of 8. Already after adding one wireless device which
takes up 1 zone, the control panel will reserve 8 zones in the system for wireless devices.
The LCD keypad makes it possible to select the zone to which that device will be assigned.
Observe continuity, i.e. avoid leaving any gaps in the list, which will later reduce the number
of available zones in the system. Remember to preserve continuity also when removing
wireless devices. For example, if the devices registered in the controller occupy 9 positions
on the list, then 16 zones (2x8) are reserved in the system. After removal of the device which
occupied position 7 on the list, there will still be 16 zones (2x8) reserved in the system for
wireless devices, although 8 positions are actually taken up on the list of wireless devices
(see: Table 3). In such a case, it is recommended that the last devices be removed from the
list and then added to the system again, so as to fill up the gap in the list and reduce the
number of zones reserved for wireless devices.
In case of devices which, in addition to zones, also take up outputs, it is recommended that
you add them to the system first. This will allow you to maintain the continuity of use of not
the zones alone, but the outputs as well.
In some cases, the gaps in the list of zones/outputs cannot be avoided. It applies to situation
when the number of zones/outputs, which is used by the devices, is not a multiple of 8.
For each group of 8 zones/outputs, one address on the expander bus is reserved. The
controller can occupy from 1 to 6 addresses. This must be taken into account at the system
design stage and sufficient number of free addresses must be left for the controller. If, when
new wireless devices have been added to the controller, it turns out that next addresses are
needed, and these are taken up by other devices, successful completion of the expander
identification procedure will be impossible. It will be necessary to change addresses of the
devices connected to the bus.
Table 3 shows how the wireless devices should not be registered. The first siren output takes
up position 8, and the second output occupies position 9. As a result, 16 outputs have been
reserved for wireless devices in the system, although actually only 2 are used (the eighth
output in the first group of 8 outputs and the first output in the second group of 8 outputs). For
