ABAX 2 wireless system controller
ACU-220 uses the 868 MHz (or
915 MHz*) radio band, in which 4 channels have been allocated.
Communication between components of the ABAX 2 system is encrypted (AES
standard) and two-way, all transmissions being acknowledged. The controller
works together with the INTEGRA, INTEGRA Plus and VERSA control
panels (connection via communication bus), making expansion of the alarm system
possible by adding wireless devices. It can also interact with any other alarm
control panel, automation controller (when using programmable zones and outputs
of the module), or work in stand-alone mode.
ACU-220 meets
the high EN 50131 requirements for Grade 2.
An advantage of the controller is its
excellent transmission range, which can be up to 2000 m in the open area,
depending on the device working with the controller and their operating
conditions. Such good communication parameters are obtained thanks to the use
of a modern radio system and antenna diversity. Depending on the level of
received radio signal, ACU-220 automatically selects the
optimal antenna to be used to receive the transmission.
The system settings are configured in the
ABAX 2 Soft program, which is installed on the computer and has also extensive
diagnostic capabilities. When working with the INTEGRA, INTEGRA Plus and VERSA control
panels, the DLOADX program or
a keypad are used for the configuration. The settings can be changed and
the firmware of enrolled wireless devices can be updated by radio, without
having to demount them.
* Depending on the country, a different
frequency band may be used.
Note - in the EU, this radio equipment is only permitted to operate
in the 868 MHz frequency band.
