You can use the Advantech ADAM-4541 Fiber Optic Converter to connect SDI2 devices via fiber optic cabling.
Using fiber optic cabling allows you to extend the distance between SDI2 devices. Do not include the length of the fiber cabling in your wire length calculations for the SDI2 bus.
Building-to-building SDI2 connections of SDI2 devices such as keypads, access control modules, power supplies, wireless receivers, input modules, and output modules are easily made.
Notice: Use of the Advantech ADAM-4541 Fiber Optic Converter and SDI2 devices has not been investigated by Underwriter’s Laboratories. Do not use for UL applications or applications that include fire alarm components.
Issue
The DS160/161 fails to operate after multiple trips or cycles.
Solution
Cause: Possible wrong part (Op- Amp)
There are some problems withLot #'s 578C, 579C, 580C with the DS160/161. The DS160/161 could stop detecting after multiple activation, and will not work.
Send the customer an advance replacement. Anything passed Lot 580C should have the fix
Not all DS160/161 are a problem.
Issue
If the Central Station receives a signal in 4 x 2 format from a D2112 panel, how can that signal be deciphered using the programmed settings in the panel ?
Solution
The report code will consist of data digit 1 and data digit 2. When sending signals in Pulse, the first digit of the reported signal must be set to a particular report group in panel programming. The second digit will contain the point number or user number or event number that relates to digit one.
The chart below shows the Description of what the second digit of a reported code would be if the first digit were programmed as show below. NOTE: The first digit could be any selection 0-9 or B-F for any of the report groups.
To decipher the reported code: If using the D5200, look in programming under Receiver Format and RPT Groups for Pulse. The number entered beside the Report Group is what will come in as the first reported digit. Using the chart below, the point number or user number or event number that pertains to the second digit is described.
In remote programming, view the report section of the program to determine the report group programmed for Digit one. Using the chart below, the point number or user number or event number that pertains to the second digit is described.
