1 SYSTEM COMPONENTS.
1.1 Control panels
The main element of the Advisor MASTER system is the control panel. The idea behind
the Advisor MASTER system is to supply a product with the best possible functional
parameters for the end user, as well as for the installing technician. The control panel, as
a product, is supplied as a set, consisting of:
Control panel mainboard;
• Metal housing;
• Mains power transformer;
• Mains power connector, equipped with a fuse;
• Battery connection cables;
• A set of 4k7 Ohm end of line resistors;
• User and installation manuals.
Common characteristics of the ATS system control panels:
Housing – There are three types of housing for the control panel and ATS expansions. All of them
have a common characteristic set of holes and mounting points, which pattern enables
the installation of every control panel type and/or other expansions and system
accessories. The space allocation details for the different housing types, are contained in
the appendices.
Power unit – All control panels are equipped with the same switched mode power supply unit,
providing 2,2A @ 13,8V DC, enabled for buffered mode (battery back-up). The details for
planning of the emergency power supply, batteries etc. can be found in chapter 2.
Mainboards – The control panels as well as other equipment parts have standardised sizes and
placement of their mounting points. This enables the installation in any system housing.
The control panel terminal blocks are detachable, which simplifies connection of the
circuits.
Dialler – A telephone communicator comes as standard, enabling communications with monitoring
stations (CS) as well as modem connections with a PC. The baud rate is limited. The
configuration details can be found in section 3.3.
The MI bus– The control panel can be extended with additional communications equipment via the MI
bus. The available modules enable communication with CS stations via GSM or ISDN
networks, as well as voice reporting. The configuration details can be found in section
3.5.
Service connection – Regardless of the type of control panel, each is equipped with a RS232 connector,
allowing for service communications with the configuration program (TITAN). This
connection is time-limited. For permanent connections, an appropriate expansion needs
to be used.
System timer– The central unit is equipped with an autonomous Real Time Clock (RTC) circuit,
synchronized via a quartz frequency generator. It ensures an exact measurement of time
regardless of the CPU load, frequency of the mains power, or other external occurrences.
The systematic time correction can be set through the configuring software as –119 to
119 seconds per day.
Alarm zones– All system inputs are processed by a A/D converter and then analysed as to their state
through the control panel, or DGP processor. There are 8 or 16 alarm zone connections
on the control panel mainboard. Their number can be increased using the ATS1202
expansion.
End of line resistors – The system supports three types of EOL resistors: 2k2, 4k7 and 10k. By default, the
4k7Ohm resistor is used.
Signal outputs – Each control panel has 3 high-current, monitored signal outputs, allowing the attachment
of an external/internal siren or a signal lamp (beacon).
