Frequently Asked Questions - IPCA63500 ABUS

How to install the 8-zone wired expansion?

Disconnect the power from the control panel, remove the housing screws, open it, then secure the board. Short-circuit the tamper switch with the plug-in jumper if mounting inside the control panel housing. For wall mounting, use the base as a template, route the cables, and screw.

How to connect a detector to the expansion?

Each zone can be connected as NC, FSL (DEOL), or with anti-masking. Use the zone terminals and, if necessary, terminals A (+12 V) and B (0 V) for detector power. Follow the wiring diagrams in the manual.

What is the maximum distance of the expansion on the bus?

The maximum distance between the farthest expansion and the control panel must not exceed 1 km. Ensure the supply voltage does not drop below 10.5 V DC (12 V recommended).

How to set the address of the expansion?

Use the plug-in jumper (marker 17) to select the address. Ensure each expansion on the bus has a unique address.

Can I connect additional speakers?

Yes, up to two external 16-ohm speakers in series. Connect them to the provided connector and adjust the volume with the potentiometer. Additional power may be required.

What does the 'AUX error LED' indicate?

This LED lights up when the auxiliary power fuse (AUX connector) has blown. Check the fuse and replace it if necessary.

How to use the anti-masking function?

If the detector supports anti-masking, use three resistors to monitor the states OK, Alarm, Tamper, Masked. Program the zone with the 'Masking' property in the control panel.

What is the power consumption of the expansion?

Consumption is 60 mA max at 12 V DC without speaker, and up to 310 mA with the internal speaker at maximum volume.

How to clean the wired expansion?

Disconnect power before any operation. Clean the housing with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid liquids and abrasive products.

Where to find spare parts for the IPCA63500?

Spare parts are available from the manufacturer ABUS or its authorized dealers. For repairs, contact a qualified professional.

USER MANUAL IPCA63500 ABUS

8-Zone Wired Extension

Installation Instructions (UK) 7

Installation Instructions (FR) 12

Installatie-instructions (NL) 17

The 8-zone wired extension enables you to extend the system with 8 additional wired zones and 2 programmable outputs. The zones can be connected to all types of sensor.

You can connect up to 4 operating panels to an 8-zone wired extension. The extension also permits the connection of 2 additional loudspeakers for acoustic alarm or service signals.

2. Installation

1. Disconnect the alarm centre from the power supply (mains and battery).
2. Remove the housing screws of the extension module.
3. Open the housing of the wired extension.
4. If the extension is to be integrated in the housing of the alarm centre, unscrew the PCB from the base and fix it to the housing with self-adhering feet. Jumper the tamper switch by connecting a jumper as described on the next page.
5. If the extension is to be installed at a distance from the alarm centre, use the base as a drilling template. Draw the cables through the base and fix the base to the wall.
6. Connect all cables and set the jumpers and switches as described on the next page.
7. Clamp the front plate to the housing and screw it tight.

3. Components and Wiring

1.) Not used

2.) Zone wiring

You can connect a sensor using one of the following methods. The contacts of the sensors are usually NC (normally closed); if you want NO (normally open), you have to invert the corresponding zones.

Important: If the sensor's voltage supply is to flow via the extension, two extra leads are needed for the connections to connectors A (+12 V DC) and B (0V).

NC wiring

Also known as CCL wiring

FSL wiring (DEOL)

Enables individual monitoring of a wire tamper (see Installation Instructions).

Anti-masking wiring:

If the sensor has the anti-mask attribute, three resistors can monitor all states (OK, alarm, tamper, masked). The zone can be programmed just like any other zone (e.g. "Normal Alarm"), but it must be given the "Masking" attribute. Important: For wiring examples, see the Installation Instructions.

3.) Bus input

Normally an 8 × 0.22mm^2 alarm cable is used. Use screened cables in areas with interference frequencies (see also Installation Instructions).

Important: The maximum distance to the furthest extension must not exceed 1km.

Important: The voltage supply on the extensions must not fall below 10.5V DC (recommendation: min. 12V). If the voltage is too low, duplicate the voltage leads with remaining cables or use an additional voltage supply.

The first extension to the bus is connected to the alarm centre via the NODE NETWORK IN connector (bus input). Each successive extension is connected to NODE NETWORK OUT (bus output) of the previous extension.

4.) AUX error LED

Lights when the fuse blows.

5.) AUX connector

Additional voltage connector for supplying external sensors and outputs.

6.) Power LED:

Lights when the fuse blows.

8.) Connecting operating panels (optional)

The voltage supply on the operating panels must not fall below 10.5V DC (recommendation: min. 12V). If the voltage is too low, duplicate the voltage leads with remaining cables or use an additional voltage supply.

9.) Bus output

For connecting further extension modules to the bus.

10.)Notused

All dip-switches must be switched to "OFF".

11.)Tamper jumper

If the jumper is closed, the lid tamper of the extension module is switched off.

12.)Tamper contact

13.)Volume potentiometer

For adjusting the volume of external loudspeakers

14.) Connecting loudspeakers (optional)

Up to 2 external 16 Ohm loudspeakers can be connected in series. The loudspeakers can be adjusted by the potentiometer on the PCB.

Important: If you connect an external loudspeaker, you should connect an extra voltage supply to the 8-zone wired extension.

Output (-2)

In the factory setting, the relay switches from 12 V DCto 0V when the output is activated. The maximum current is 100mA . This output can be inverted during programming if necessary.

15.)JP4

The jumper must be set to Position 3.

16.)Output (+1)

In the factory setting, the relay switches from 12 V DCto 0V when the output is activated. The maximum current is 100mA . This output can be inverted during programming if necessary.

17.) Address of 8-zone wired extension

1. Set the jumper to the position matching the extension.
2. Important: Make sure that an address is not used more than once on a bus.
