Very important task of the controller is power distribution - it provides appropriate DC power to every
element of the system (managing external power sources such as the SB 270 power supply or an optional
solar panel or an external battery).
Another key task of the controller is the integration of the entire system
– examining the communication,
state and condition of every module of the system and the immediate indication of all problems on the
control panel by means of several LEDs or remotely using the mobile Internet connection.
The controller also analyses the temperature condition inside the monitoring station case. If the internal
temperature is higher than +50
o
C, the controller will switch off internal battery charging. If the temperature
further increases over +65
o
C, the controller will switch off the monitoring station. The station will be also
switched off if the internal temperature falls below -30
o
C.
The TEST key in the SD 270A PRO controller allows you to reset the controller settings. To do this, press
and hold the TEST key for more than 20 seconds until the corresponding LED lights up. Release the key
and the controller will be reset.
The mini USB connector on the front panel of the controller is intended for updating the controller firmware.
Note:
The mini USB connector on the controller panel doesn’t provide any measurement or
setup data exchange with the PC. Such data exchange is carried out via the USB Device
interface of SVAN 958A (USB socket).
Note: Communication of the controller or SVAN 958A with a PC requires installation of the USB
drivers
on
your
PC.

all LEDs are off.
2. Connect the controller to the PC with the SC 56 cable.
3.

Note:
If after successful firmware loading you run the “loadfile.bat” file again, the firmware will
not start downloading and the byte counter will not be changing. If you still would like to repeat
firmware upgrading, disconnect the SC 56 cable and repeat steps from 2 to 5.
Note: In the case of any problems with upgrade, switch off SVAN 958A and wait until all LEDs
are off, then extract the controller from the case and repeat steps from 2 to 5.
