VISION Installation Guide

**** The use of high-power lithium-ion battery cells requires appropriate protection in accordance with how they are used. Inappropriate batteries may possibly result in heat generation, ignition, or explosion and may cause death, personal injury, property damage, or other serious loss.

**** The VISION communicates using wireless (RF) transmissions. Any wireless transmission can be subject to RF interference and, although unlikely, this interference may cause the VISION not to operate as intended. RF transmissions will be attenuated by tinted glass, in-wall isolation with metal foils, metal objects, etc.

Safety Instructions. Read Carefully
The VISION security system has been registered in accordance with EN60950 and its rules.
Among other things, EN60950 requires us to advise you of the following information:

  •  Hazards of fire and electric shock exist in this alarm system. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this alarm system to rain or moisture. Pay attention:  Telephone cords could be a good conductor for lightings energy.
  •  Warning: this equipment has no mains On/Off switch. The plug of the direct plug-in power supply is intended to serve as the disconnecting device.
  • Dangerous high voltages are present inside the control panel’s enclosure. Refer servicing to qualified personnel only.
  • This alarm system should be used with 230VAC/110VAC, 50/60Hz, protected by an Anti-electric shock breaker. Use only the power supply provided with this equipment. The use of unauthorized power supplies may cause damage.
  • Do not spill liquid of any kind onto the unit. If the liquid is accidentally spilled onto the unit, immediately consult a qualified service.
  • Disposal of used batteries must be made in accordance with local waste recovery and recycling regulations.

INSTALLATION

3.1. Location guidelines

Use the following list as a guide, to find a suitable location to install the VISION.

  • Install the control panel in a protected location, where people cannot trip over any power cord.
  • Select a location free from vibration and shock.
  • Mount the control panel on a flat stable surface, near a network socket, a telephone plug (if in use), and an AC power outlet.
  • Do not choose a location that exposes the control panel to direct sunlight, excessive heat, moisture, vapors, chemicals, or dust.
  • Protect cords from damage or abrasion.
  • Do not install this product near water, e.g. bathtub, sink, wet basement.

HOW TO CONFIGURE THE WI-FI MODULE

The VMW500 is a module that enables the VISION to connect to a wi-fi network. Before you configure it, make sure the VISION is connected to power, and the module is up and running (the module’s LEDs illuminate). At this point, do not connect the module’s Ethernet cable. To configure the wi-fi module you will need a PC/laptop with a wi-fi adapter, or use your smartphone. Also, you will need to temporarily set a static IP to your PC/laptop/smartphone. The static IP address for configuring the module should be 192.168.16.100 (or any available address in the range of 192.168.16.1-192.168.16.255).

4.1. How to connect and configure the module


The module is supplied with predefined configurations for PIMA systems. Use this section if you reset it to factory defaults.

  1.  Click the wi-fi network icon on your PC/laptop’s desktop tray.
  2. On the list of the available wi-fi devices, select HI-LINK_XXXX. If it is not on the list, make sure the wi-fi module is up and running. If it is, the signal may not be strong enough.
  3. Open a web browser, type 192.168.16.254 (the module’s default IP address), and press Enter, to browse to the module’s configuration application (if the module has just been powered up, wait 1-2 minutes).
  4. In the login window, enter admin as username and as password and select OK (or Sign in).
