System OverviewThe coordinator provides communication between the Central Console software and the manyreceivers throughout the protected area. The receiver detects alarm signals from thetransmitter, and sends the signal to the coordinator either by wired RS-485 or throughwireless radio frequency. The coordinator forwards this information to the Central Consolesoftware over wired Ethernet (TCP/IP), where the alarm will be processed accordingly. Eachcoordinator (with its built-in receiver) also includes two analog inputs which support 4 statesupervised modes, and drivers for two relay outputs. The receiver is designed to work with the Security Escort system throughout a protected area,including building interiors. Each receiver contains a radio receiver to detect the transmissionsfrom transmitters, and a microcomputer to decode and interpret test and alarm messages.Multiple receivers detect the same transmission and send the signal information to thecoordinator, so that the system can identify the transmitting information, including the deviceand location. The receiver also monitors housing tampering and radio jamming, and reportsthem to the coordinator. Indoor coordinators/receivers are typically mounted on inside walls, and have one red and onegreen LED. The green LED is used to indicate a successful test of a personal transmitter. Thered LED is illuminated during alarms. Each coordinator/receiver contains a piezo-electricbuzzer that can be activated if an alarm transmission is detected. Outdoor coordinators/receivers are contained in small weatherproof boxes, typically mountedon the sides of buildings and on light posts. Outdoor coordinators/receivers do not have thevisible red and green LED’s. For outdoors, the relay outputs can be connected to devices to beused to acknowledge successful tests and alarms.28en | System Overview ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701 Installation Guide Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
Mounting the DeviceChoose a mounting location based on the previous site survey. Mount the coordinator/receiveras close as possible to the location found with the test coordinator/receiver. Use the followingsections as a guideline for coordinator/receiver mounting and spacing.Indoor installationSelect a mounting location that:– provides a clear line-of-sight of the protected area, if possible.– is at least 31 cm (1 ft.) away from metal objects such as HVAC ducts.– is on an inside wall, if possible.– is 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5 ft. to 6 ft.) from the floor.– is not at a barrier where it is important to resolve which side an alarm location is on.– is not damaged by tampering or opening doors.SpacingCoordinator/receiver spacing should be no more than 25 m (80 ft.) between each coordinator/receiver for standard construction. Range depends on the construction of the building. Forexample, a building with hollow drywalls may support 25 m (80 ft.) spacing, but a buildingwith steel reinforced concrete may require reduced spacing. It is very important to maintain aconsistent spacing as this ensures optimum signal locating. The better the coordinator/receivers can detect a transmitted signal, the more accurate the locating.Mounting heightMount coordinator/receivers 1.5 m to 1.8 m (5 ft. to 6 ft.) from the floor. Maintain a consistentmounting height to ensure optimum signal locating. Do not place coordinator/receivers closeto the ceiling. This places them closer to the floor above reducing the floor-to-floor locationaccuracy. It is also helpful to place the coordinator/receivers somewhat higher on the top floorto be covered and somewhat lower on the bottom floor to be covered.Multi-floor installationsMount coordinator/receivers over one another in multi-floor installations. This helps maintainproper floor-to-floor reception.Figure 3.1: Coordinator/receiver locationsxCoordinator/Receiver location inside buillding33.13.1.13.1.23.1.3ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver Mounting the Device | en 9Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd Installation Guide 2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701
Outdoor installationSelect a mounting location that:– provides a clear line-of-sight of the protected area.– is away from metallic objects such as chain-link fences and electrical transformers. Ifcoverage is required near such items, perform testing near them to determine thepotential need for additional receivers.– is 3 m (10 ft.) above grade.– is not at a barrier where it is important to resolve which side an alarm location is on.– is easy to service.– is not damaged by tampering.SpacingMount coordinators/receivers every 90 m (300 ft.). It is very important to maintain spacing asconsistent as possible to ensure optimum signal locating. The more the coordinators/receiverscan detect a transmitted signal, the more accurate the locating. Make sure each coordinator/receiver has a clear line-of-sight of the intended protection area.Mounting heightMount coordinators/receivers 3 m (10 ft.) above grade. Maintain a mounting height that is asconsistent as possible to ensure optimum signal locating.Overhangs/eavesCoordinator/receiver locations should be below building overhangs and eaves. Mosttransmissions occur 1 m (a few feet) above grade. Therefore, mounting above overhangs andeaves can result in inaccurate signal locating. Be especially careful around metal roofs asthese can block the signal.Pre-wired installationsWhen mounting the enclosure to a pre-wired electrical box, make sure that the electrical boxhas a 15.2 cm (6 in.) overhead clearance. The enclosure should be mounted as shown in figurebelow.Notice!The enclosure does not currently support octagonal electrical boxes.3.23.2.13.2.23.2.33.310 en | Mounting the Device ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701 Installation Guide Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd

Power supply connectorThe coordinator/receivers can be powered by an external 12V DC input. It consists of twoterminals: one of which is used to provide the positive input, and the other the negative input.The operating input voltage range is 10.8 – 13.2V.Figure 4.2: Power Supply ConnectorPower over Ethernet (PoE) connectorPower over Ethernet (PoE) is applicable to coordinators only. Receivers do not have theEthernet interface ports. The coordinators can be powered by PoE without needing anexternal DC input. The PoE connector is identified by the label PoE Ethernet on thecoordinator. Connect the PoE using the standard Cat 5e Ethernet cable and above. PoEprovides the maximum total power of 12.95 Watt to the coordinator, and complies with theIEEE802.3af class 0 standard.The coordinator also sends any received data from the receivers or transmitters to the CentralConsole Software via the Ethernet cable. The coordinator is pre-configured with the followingdefault IP settings:IP Settings ValueIP Address 192.168.1.100Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0Gateway 192.168.1.1Port 20000Table 4.1: Default IP Settings of Coordinator The default settings can be changed using the Utility Tool from the Security Escort software.See the Security Escort Installation and Setup Manual for more information.RS-485 communication connectorThe coordinator and receivers can communicate with each other using the RS-485 interface.The communication connector is identified by their 3 terminal points, namely A, GND and B.The recommended data transmission speed is 19200 bps @ 1km (default) and 115 kbps @500m. For outdoor installations, the recommended wiring for RS-485 communication isshielded twisted-pair.Figure 4.3: RS-485 Connector4.24.34.416 en | Layout and Wiring of the Device ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701 Installation Guide Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
RS-485 jumpersThe coordinator and receivers use RS-485 multi-drop communication channels between thedevice boards. It is necessary to include end-of-line jumper settings on the last receiver tohave a stable communication channel (see Setting the jumpers for RS-485 communication loop,page 24). The jumper blocks are identified as J5 on the coordinator/receiver.Input connectorsTwo 2-pin connectors on the left side of the coordinator/receiver provide terminal points forwiring from input devices. The terminal strips are identified as Input1 and Input2 on thecoordinator/receiver. There are two terminals for each input point.Figure 4.4: Input ConnectorsEach input point supports four-state supervised mode. To detect the four states, there arespecial values allowed for potential drop depending on the resistors used. The coordinator/receiver can also detect short and open wiring conditions and initiate an alarm if theappropriate devices are connected.Figure 4.5: Circuit Diagram for ResistorsRS = RP = 2.2 kΩ ¼WOutput connectorsTwo 3-pin connectors provide terminal points for connection of external devices. Theconnectors are identified as OUT 1 and OUT 2 on the coordinator/receiver. The outputterminals are Form-C type relay dry contacts. For each relay, Normally Closed (NC), NormallyOpen (NO) and Common (C) terminals are provided.Figure 4.6: Output ConnectorsLED indicatorsThe following section describes the behaviors of the various LEDs upon device start up andduring system operation.Power supply LED– The LED will light up in orange as long as the coordinator/receiver is powered by the DCinput.4.54.64.74.8ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver Layout and Wiring of the Device | en 17Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd Installation Guide 2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701

The tamper switch is triggered when the coordinator/receiveris not covered in the casing enclosure. This event is monitored and reported to the CentralConsole Software where any subsequent actions are determined by the configured softwaresettings. It is recommended that the coordinator/receiver should be covered in the casing atall times.Reset buttonA reset button is available on the coordinator/receiver. This button can be used to perform ahard or soft factory reset based on the associated dip switch setting (see Selecting the hard/soft reset mode, page 21). Depending on the hard or soft reset, pressing it will clear specificsets of configuration for the device.

Setting the Switches and JumpersThere are three dip switches on the receiver, namely SW1 on the left, SW2 in the middle andSW3 on the right. Dip switch SW1 is not mounted on the coordinator. Therefore, only dipswitches SW2 and SW3 are available on the coordinator. Use the dip switches to configuresettings like the address of the device and the radio frequency, or the operation settings likeusage of soft or hard reset.Figure 5.1: Dip switches The usage of the dip switches are explained as of below:Dip Switch Switch Number UsageSW1 (receiver only) 1 Address of Device2345 Not Used6SW2 1 Frequency Selection23 Hard/Soft Reset Mode4 Baud Rate56 Disable/Enable BuzzerSW3 1 Spacing Selection2 Transmit Mode3 Not Used456Table 5.1: Usage of dip switches Usage of the dip switches will be explained in detail in the respective sections.Notice!Take note that switch number 5 and 6 on dip switch SW1 and switch number 3, 4, 5 and 6 ondip switch SW3 are currently not being used.5ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver Setting the Switches and Jumpers | en 19Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd Installation Guide 2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701
Notice!It is recommended to power off the coordinator/receiver before you change the dip switchsettings. Upon completing the changes, power up the devices. The new settings will only takeinto effect once the coordinator/receiver completed a power reset cycle. Setting the loop addressUse the address dip switch to configure the RS-485 loop address of the receiver. Eachcoordinator/receiver on a loop must have its own unique address. Only addresses 0 through15 are valid. The coordinator always uses address 0. You do not need to set the address for thecoordinator. Therefore, the dip switch SW1 used for setting addresses is not available on thecoordinator. The receivers use addresses 1 to 15. Set the address using dip switch SW1.Configure the four switches from the left, 1, 2, 3 and 4 as the address of the device.Address Switch Number on Dip Switch SW11 2 3 40(used forcoordinator only)OFF OFF OFF OFF1(default settingfor receiver)ON OFF OFF OFF2 OFF ON OFF OFF3 ON ON OFF OFF...............15 ON ON ON ONTable 5.2: Address settings on dip switch SW1Setting the radio frequency (RF)Use the radio frequency (RF) switches on dip switch SW2 to configure the RF of the device.Set the two switches from the left, 1 and 2 according to the following table.Radio Frequency Switch Number on Dip Switch SW21 2304 MHz (default setting) OFF OFF303.825 MHz OFF ON 5.15.220 en | Setting the Switches and Jumpers ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701 Installation Guide Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd

Take note that the following LED indicators are only visible if the casing enclosure of thedevice is temporarily removed:– Power supply LED– Tricolor LED– Ethernet LED– Power over Ethernet (PoE) LED (on the coordinator only)Checking the power supplyWhen you power up the coordinator/receiver using the external DC input, the power supplyLED on the device will light up in orange. The LED will continue to illuminate as long as poweris supplied to the device. If the LED is not illuminated, there could be issues with the powersupply. Check that the operating input voltage is between the range specified (see Powersupply connector, page 16). If there is no power, check the cable or power supply to ensurethat it is not faulty. If there are no faults with the cable or power supply, check thecoordinator/receiver.Checking Power over Ethernet (PoE)Power over Ethernet (PoE) is only applicable for coordinators. Power for the coordinator canbe supplied via the Cat 5e cable using the PoE technology. When powered by the PoE, the PoELED will light up continuously in red color. If the LED is not illuminated, check that the Cat 5ecable or the power sourcing equipment (for example, the network switch supplying the PoE)is not faulty.Checking Ethernet network issuesEthernet network communication is only applicable for coordinators. The coordinatorcommunicates with the Central Console via Ethernet TCP/IP. If the coordinator uses an IPaddress that is already in use by another device on the Ethernet network, an IP addressconflict occurs. This will render one or both the devices to be unable to connect to networkresources or perform other network operations.If an IP address conflict is detected by the coordinator, the green and red LED will blinkcontinuously (500ms on, 500ms off). To rectify the issue, change the IP address of theconflicting device using the Utility Tool of the Security Escort software, and blah blah blah (…to be confirmed).Checking the RS-485 communicationThe coordinator and receivers communicate with each other via RS-485 by default. Thetricolor LED on the device will blink in pink light every 3 seconds as long as RS-485communication is available. If the RS-485 communication is broken, the coordinator andreceivers will switch to radio frequency (RF) as the communication channel. As a result, thebehavior and color of the tricolor LED will no longer be the same (blink in pink light every 3seconds). To troubleshoot RS-485 communication, check that the following is working:1. RS-485 is enabled on the host system configuration.66.16.26.36.426 en | Troubleshooting the Device ALLPLEX track Coordinator & Receiver2014.03 | V1.0.0 | F.01U.277.701 Installation Guide Robert Bosch (SEA) Pte Ltd
2. Wiring of RS-485 is not faulty.3. Baud rate settings (configured via dip switch) on the coordinator/receivers are the same.Checking the radio frequency (RF)If the coordinator and receivers are communicating via radio frequency (RF), you can confirmthe RF configuration by checking the tricolor LED visually. Every time you power up the device,the LED will illuminate and blink a number of times in white light. The number of blinks on theLED corresponds to the configured RF, as shown in the following table.Radio Frequency Number of Blinks304 MHz (default factory setting) Two303.825 MHz One433.42 MHz ThreeInvalid setting Non-stopTable 6.1: LED behavior upon powering up the deviceIf the selected RF is incorrect, set the dip switches accordingly and reconfirm the settingswith the procedure above.Resetting the coordinator/receiverIncorrect configurations on the coordinator or receiver may sometimes be the cause of issuesthat you encounter. In instances like these, the issue may be cleared by simply performing areset on the coordinator/receiver. Depending on hard or soft reset, the reset cycle clearsspecific sets of configuration to the factory settings. Pressing the reset button initiates thereset cycle of the coordinator/receiver, with the red and green LEDs blinking oncesimultaneously to indicate a hard reset, and the red and green LEDs blinking twicesimultaneously for a soft reset. The device is then powered up automatically with the factorysettings. For a list of settings or features that are being reset, please refer to the AppendixDifferences between hard and soft reset mode on the coordinator/receiver, page 28.Upgrading coordinator/receiver firmwareUse the Utility Tool of the Security Escort software to check/upgrade the coordinator/receiverfirmware.
