System 2 Installation / Programming Manual
Electronic Serial Number Chip
Each System has a unique Electronic Serial Number (ESN) contained in a chip that cannot be altered. The
Unit ID Number and manufacture date are programmed into a one-time programmable memory device which
cannot be changed. This information may be displayed in Option #11 or #13 and is used for warranty service.
Memory Expansion
The System’s memory expansion socket accepts a 128K x 8 Static Ram Chip which increases the number of
users to 4,090 when the system is set up for networking with user names. If using a buffer size of 100 events,
approximately 6,100 users are possible when networking and names are not used. A complete breakdown of
all the possible system configurations and user capacities can be found in Appendix A. Using RAM from
other sources may cause the standby lithium battery to be depleted prematurely.
After installing the expansion memory (RAM), you must clear memory (Option 17) which erases all
existing system data. If you fail to erase memory, the additional users feature will not activate.
RS485 Expansion
The System 2 uses a standard high-speed RS485 communication bus. This bus uses a twisted pair of shielded
wires which can be up to 4000 feet in length. This RS485 bus allows up to eight System 2's to be connected
anywhere on this bus for further expansion.
X-10 Expansion
The shunt contacts of the main relay and the auxiliary relay contacts can be used to trigger an X-10
Powerhouse PowerFlash
®
Interface (Model PF284) for the control of lights and other X-10 devices.
Tamper Switch
The cabinet tamper switch is an optical sensor located in the upper right hand corner of the circuit board.
There is a reflecting label directly over the sensor on the inside of the cabinet door. This label cannot be
removed in order to establish tamper switch operation.
Whenever the cabinet door is opened the cabinet tamper switch will: 1) Turn off the Activity LED 2) Create a
Cabinet Open event. There is a ten second delay after the tamper switch has been activated to allow for
access to program mode.
There are four possible scenarios: 1) If program mode is not established within this ten second time frame, a
Cabinet Tamper event is created and the Activity LED will remain off. 2) If program mode is established,
the Activity LED will flash slowly. 3) If the cabinet door is closed without entering program mode, the
Activity LED will remain off without generating a system event. 4) If the cabinet door is closed after entering
program mode, the Activity LED will return to its normal flash sequence and a Cabinet Closed event will be
generated.
The system does not have to be in program mode when the door is closed for it to return to its normal status.
Program mode must be established (once) after the Cabinet Open event has occurred.
