NOTIFIER VeriFire-HK EIA-232 to EIA-485 Converter
General Information
The VeriFire-1020 off-line program allows users to enter and edit the partial system, full point, and partial point programming options of a local AM2020/AFP1010 Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel. The UPDL•1020 program is designed to upload all user-programmed data from the panel to a specific VeriFire file on a personal computer and to download the data from the VeriFire file to the panel.
UPDL•1020 is accessed directly from the VeriFire application or outside of VeriFire by double clicking on the UPDL executable file (UPDL.EXE) or UPDL icon.
Before an upload or download can be performed, the hardware setup must be completed. This VeriFire-HK hard-ware kit provides the necessary equipment to interface the personal computer with the AM2020/AFP1010 panel. This kit must be ordered separately and is not included with the VeriFire-1020 software package.
Warning!
During the download operation, the AM2020/AFP1010 panel will not perform fire protection and life safety functions. When the download is finished, power down the panel and restart the entire system. After completing an upload operation, maintain a backup of the retrieved data.
Inventory
Before continuing, ensure that you have the following components:
- AM2020/AFP1010 software release M2.7 or higher “M” series release
- EIA-232 to EIA-485 converter
- Five conductor cable
- SIB-2048A or SIB-NET Serial Interface Board (not for use with SIB-2048 or SIB-232)
Hardware Installation
The hardware installation must be completed first since the software will not operate correctly until the hardware configuration is correct. To complete the hardware installation for the VeriFire-HK, follow the steps outlined below.
-
Step 1: Remove the ACS connector (P5) from the SIB-2048A or SIB-NET serial interface board on the AM2020/AFP1010. All programmed annunciators will indicate trouble during the time P5 remains removed. Ignore these troubles.
-
Step 2: Enable the ACS port upload/download under Partial System Programming, Option 8 (ISIB), Option 3 (XINT) on the AM2020/AFP1010 panel.
-
Step 3: Connect the cable from the converter to the serial interface board as shown in Figure 2.
-
Step 4: Connect the nine pin connector on the 232/485 converter (shown in Figure 1 below) to the serial port on the computer.
