Frequently Asked Questions - IPCA66500 ABUS

How many zones does the IPCA66500 support?

The IPCA66500 supports 8 wired zones. Each zone can be configured as NC (normally closed), FSL (DEOL) with end-of-line supervision, or anti-masking with three resistors.

What types of wiring can I use for the zones?

You can use NC (CCL) wiring (normally closed), FSL (DEOL) wiring with individual wire tamper supervision, or anti-masking wiring which monitors health, alarm, tamper, and masked states using three resistors.

Can I connect multiple IPCA66500 extensions?

Yes, multiple extensions can be connected via the bus. Each extension must have a unique address set by the address jumper. Use the NODE NETWORK OUT of one extension to connect to the NODE NETWORK IN of the next.

What is the maximum bus cable length?

The maximum distance from the alarm center to the furthest extension is 1 km. Ensure proper cable type and avoid connecting the 'A' connector to the 4-core bus cable.

What size standby battery should I use?

The IPCA66500 accepts a 12 V DC rechargeable battery of 7 Ah or 17 Ah. The battery provides emergency power in case of mains failure.

How do I adjust the loudspeaker volume?

The volume of external loudspeakers is adjusted using the volume potentiometer on the PCB. Turn the potentiometer to increase or decrease the volume.

Can I connect more than one control panel?

Yes, you can connect up to 4 additional control panels (operating panels). The maximum cable length to the furthest panel is 100 m. Ensure the voltage at the panel does not drop below 10.5 V DC.

What does the BUS LED indicate?

The BUS LED on the extension lights up when there is bus communication. It flashes when bus communication is lost, indicating a problem with the bus connection.

How do I set the address of the extension?

Set the address using the address jumper (component 17 on the PCB). Ensure no two extensions on the same bus have the same address. Refer to the manual for jumper position mapping.

Is there overcurrent protection?

Yes, the IPCA66500 has 4 auto-resettable fuses (500 mA each) and one mains fuse (315 mA, slow-blow). The auto-resettable fuses will reset after the overload is removed.

1. Merkmale

The 8-zone wired extension with supplementary 1.5 A power supply unit (PSU) enables you to extend the system with 8 wired zones and a programmable output. The emergency power supply is provided by a 7 Ah or 17 Ah rechargeable standby battery. You can connect up to four operating panels to this extension. The extension also permits the connection of 2 additional loudspeakers for acoustic alarm or service signals.

2. Installation

Before installing, make sure that the external voltage supply is disconnected and isolated before making any mains connections.

1. Remove the housing screws of the extension module.
2. Use the housing as a template to locate the fixing screw holes and drill three holes at these locations (min. 4mm ∅, 4.5 cm long).
3. Pull all cables and cores through the base plate and screw the housing firmly to the mounting surface. To prevent interference, pull the 230 V mains cable through a separate opening.
4. Connect all cables and set the jumpers and switches as described on the next page.
5. Insert the tamper contact in the opening provided.
6. Now connect the standby battery and switch on the 230 V mains supply.
7. Close the housing with the cover and screw it down.

3. Description of components and programming

1.) Not used

2.) ZONE WIRING

You can connect a detector using one of the following methods. Each zone can be wired differently. The contacts of the detectors are usually NC (normally closed); if you want NO (normally open), program zone with the “Inverted” attribute.

Important: The voltage supply of the detectors is provided by two additional cores for the connections to the AUX terminals (+12 V DC / 0 V).

NC wiring:

Also known as CCL wiring.

FSL wiring:

Also known as DEOL. Enables individual supervision of a wire tamper

Anti-masking wiring:

If the detector has an anti-mask attribute, three resistors can monitor all states (healthy, alarm, tamper, masked). The zone can be programmed just like any other zone (e.g. Immediately), but must have the

"Masking" attribute.

Important: For wiring examples, see "Installation Instructions AZ5200".

3.) AUX CONNECTOR

Additional terminals to power external detectors and outputs (+12V DC / 0V).

4.) CONNECTION FOR 7AH/17AH STANDBY BATTERY

5.) CONNECTION FOR THE 13.8 V DC VOLTAGE SUPPLY

6.) AUX CONNECTOR

Additional terminals to power external detectors and outputs (+12V DC / 0V).

7.) AUX ERROR LED

Lit when fuse blown.

8.) OUTPUT (OPTIONAL)

By default, the output switches from 0V to 12V (+1) on activation, and can deliver up to 500 mA. The output can be inverted when programming the output. Output -1 must not be used.

9.) CONNECTING LOUDSPEAKERS (OPTIONAL)

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

10.) VOLUME POTENTIOMETER

For adjusting the volume of external loudspeakers.

11.) BUS ERROR LED

Lit when fuse blown.

12.) BUS INPUT

The first extension to the bus is connected to the alarm centre via the NODE NETWORK IN terminal (bus input).

Each successive extension is connected to NODE NETWORK OUT (bus output) of the previous extension.

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

Important: Do not connect the "A" connector to the 4-core buscable!

13.)BUS OUTPUT

For connecting further extension modules to the bus.

14.) CONNECTING CONTROL PANELS (OPTIONAL)

Up to 4 further control panels can be connected. The maximum distance to the furthest control panel must not exceed 100 m.

Important: The voltage supply on the operating panels must not drop below 10.5V DC (recommendation: min. 12V). If the voltage is too low, double up the cores or use an additional voltage supply.

15.) CONTROL PANEL LED

Lit when fuse blown.

16.)NOT USED

Do not change the DIP switch settings.

17.) ADDRESS OF 8-ZONE WIRED EXTENSION

Set the jumper to the position matching the extension.

Important: Ensure that no two extensions on the same bus have the same address.

18.) TAMPER JUMPER

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

19.)BUS LED

Lit when there is bus communication and flashes when bus communication is lost.
