INSTALLATION
Product summary
As the central controller for the ComPoint™ system, the ISH1 Hub performs all communications routing. It addresses the keypads and door stations according to the ports they're connected to.
The hub has ports for 6 zone keypads. Up to 6 ISH1 Hubs can be linked together for a maximum of 36 zones. With multiple hubs, each hub must be assigned a unique ID number during installation.
The hub also has ports for 2 door stations. In a system with multiple linked hubs, only the hub with ID number 1 supports the door stations.
A separate doorbell chime tone can be selected on hub 1 for each door. These chime selections take effect for the entire system and play through all the zone keypads.
The hub's firmware contains lists of zone and door labels for display on the ISK2 Advanced Keypads. These labels are assigned by the installer using a connected ISK2 keypad. (See the ComPoint system manual for instructions on assigning labels.)
Designed for surface mounting or installation in a structured wiring panel, the ISH1 Hub uses an external model ISPS power supply to conserve chassis space. It should be located near an electrical outlet.
The hub includes a port for updating its firmware from a computer.
Wiring and connections
The ISH1 Hub connects to the keypads and door stations with CAT-5 cable. The length limit for the CAT-5 cable is 250 feet (76 m).
Run CAT-5 from the hub location to every keypad and door station location. If you are installing optional ISDR1 modules, loop the door station cables through the module locations.
When running CAT-5 and speaker cables, avoid AC power wiring. If you have to run the cables parallel to electrical wiring, space the cables at least two feet (0.6 m) from the AC power lines.
The hub has 8-pole modular jacks for keypad and door station connections. These connections must be made according to the T568A standard as shown in the diagram below.
The hub also uses modular jacks for the link ports. Use a short 8-pole, 4-twisted-pair straight-through RJ-45 patch cable to link hubs together.

Six-zone ComPoint system with Advanced Keypads and an optional Door Strike Release Module
INSTALLATION
Programming
All system programming resides in the ISH1 Hub. For a six-zone system with ISK1 Basic Keypads, programming consists only of setting the doorbell chimes. For a system with ISK2 Advanced Keypads, programming includes assigning zone and door station labels. For a system with more than six zones, programming includes setting hub ID numbers.
When multiple hubs are used, the zone and door label settings are initially stored in the hub to which the keypad is connected. Upon exiting the programming procedure, the settings are copied to the other hubs.
Hub 1 serves as the master hub for storing all zone and door label settings. Whenever the system power is cycled, the settings are copied from hub 1 to the other hubs.
Hub ID numbers
In a system with multiple ISH1 Hubs, each hub must have a unique ID number. This is manually assigned on the 4-switch HUB ID DIP before the system is powered up. To assign the ID number, set switches 1 through 3 as shown in table 1.
Switch 4 enables a programming mode for updating the system firmware. Leave this switch in the up position for system operation.

Doorbell chimes
A single 8-switch DIP assigns doorbell chimes for both door stations. Switches 1 through 3 select the chime for door 1 and switches 5 through 7 select the chime for door 2. There are 7 chime options, with a setting for no chime when a separate doorbell system is used. To select the chimes, set the switches as shown in table 2.
Switch 4 selects how the chime volume level is managed. Setting the switch to 1 (up) sets the chime volume level to a fixed level at 50% of the maximum keypad output in all zones. This causes the chime to play at the same level in all zones. Setting the switch to 0 (down) allows the chime volume to be determined by the keypad volume level setting in each zone independently.

Table 2. Doorbell chime switch settings
Switch 8 is currently not used.
The ISH1 Hub also has a trim potentiometer for setting the overall volume of the doorbell chime throughout the system. This can be used to adjust the chime level relative to the communication level.
Note: In a system with multiple linked hubs, only the settings on hub 1 affect the doorbell chime assignments and volume level, since the door stations connect only to hub 1. Because the settings take effect immediately, the doorbell chimes can be set at any time. There is no need to cycle the power after setting them.
