Instruction Manual
General Introduction
The SA204 Transmitter is used for integrating the third party detectors into VIAS system and has full control with VIAS APP. It can supply power to the third party detector and notifies when alarm or tamper trigger of the third party detectors to the controller. The SA204 can detect device removal by its own accelerometer.
Main features:
- 3.3V power output to supply power to the third party detectors;
- With one tamper input and one alarm input
- Detection of device removal by accelerometer
- LED display to indicate tamper, alarm and accelerometer trigger
- Low battery indication
Product Layout
Pairing to Controller
-
Insert 3pcs of CR123A battery as shown below.
-
Locate the learning button. Do not activate pairing on the controller yet.
-
Press and hold the learning button for more than 3 seconds until the LED flashes moderately in Green then release the button.
-
Go to VIAS system set up> add device on function list, choose SA204 in pairing on the controller. The LED should stop blinking indicating the pairing process is complete.
CAUTION
-
Install the transmitter according to the instructions in this manual. The transmitter should be installed inside the detector enclosure or in a sealed box.
If the transmitter cannot be installed inside the detector body, use an external radio-transparent body. -
Do not install the transmitter in a metal body.
-
Do not install the transmitter under temperature and humidity conditions that exceed the permissible limits for the device.
-
Do not connect a third party power supply unit to the power terminals. This may damage the device.
-
Suggest wearing gloves to protect against static electricity when install the transmitter.

Go to device list, press and hold SA204 icons for 2secs can get into sensor
information page, press settings on the top right to get into the following
selections.
For the wiring of detector on the transmitter, please follow the instruction
of third-party detector manual to make right wired connection.

Operation
The transmitter can be installed inside the third party detector, Connect
transmitter to the detector through the power supply output and alarm, tamper
input. When triggering of alarm or tamper, the transmitter will emit signal to
the controller and send notification to the users.
The transmitter can set the device zone type and behaviors in connection to
Alarm Monitoring Center. It can also been classified by rooms or assigned to
monitor in different
areas.
The settings are located in sensor information page. Press and hold the device
icons for 2 secs on device list can enter for the options of settings.
After SA204 is successfully pairing on the panel, the device led goes off and
it will display on the device list of VIAS APP where you can see the device
and signal levels of it.
If you have assigned it in the partitions, it will also display the number of
partitions it belongs. The unassigned device will indicate “P” that means it’s
not belong to any partition.
If the third-party detector is triggered, the alert icon will be
show as below and the triggered of zone will report in notification. The
device led will flash 2 times in Red when the event has been triggered.
When third-party detector is triggered
tamper alert, it is shown as “T” on the icon and the device led flashes 2
times in Red when triggered.
When SA204 is moved, the accelerometer detects it’s movement and shown as
below to generate an hammer icon the row of indication beside the battery and
signal levels the device led flashes 2 times in Red when triggered. Please
check the setting of alert if moved is enabled for this feature.
Maintenance
Low Battery: When the battery becomes low. The detector will report back to
the controller and LED will flash 15 times to indicate low battery condition
to the user.
It can be temporarily disabled on sensor information page for maintenance. In
the meantime, the event triggered or status of device will be ignored.
Software reporting commands
Power on report| When battery is inserted, it will report power on command to
the controller after one minute.
---|---
Auto report| When battery is inserted, it will report to controller after 2
minutes. It will report the condition every hour.
Trouble Shooting
| Symptoms | Possible Cause | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not work | No batteries attached or no power. | Check if batteries |
are attached or replace with new ones.
Break down| Send it for repair.
Cannot carry out binding or out of control| Binding with controller did not
complete successfully.| Bind again using manual binding
Disturbed by other radio waves| Please operate later
Reset to factory default
