For your safety Intended use The Access Point serves to transmit data between locking devices and the control centre of your OMEGA ACTIVE system. Between the Access Point and the locking devices, data are transmitted via 868 MHz radio signals. The connection of the Access Point to the master computer is wired. It is exclusively intended and may only be used for that purpose. Any other use is considered to be improper and may result in property damage or even personal injury.
Introduction Introduction Description The Access Point is part of the OMEGA-system. It establishes the connection between the OMEGA locking devices and the overall control centre via a radio frequency (RF) link. The master computer is a commercial PC with the OMEGA software. The Access Point is connected with the control centre via an RJ45-Ethernet cable (10/100 MBit). The Access Point is thus the network interface of the system.
Introduction Other features of the Access Point: Integrated 868 MHz RF transceiver. The maximum RF range to the locking devices is 25 metres. Power supply of the Access Point with the supplied power pack. No other power supplies are permitted. Two colour LEDs at the Ethernet connection for visual signalization of data traffic. Available accessories for the Access Point: D-LAN™ adapter (System Powerline, to implement IP networks using the 230 V power network).
Introduction Components of a wireless system Access Points establish the connection between your control centre (PC) and your locking devices. The following components are required for the system: Standard PC (No. 1, 2) with Windows XP™, Windows 7/32 Bit™ Network card (TCP/IP) Monitor with a resolution of 1024 768 pixel or higher OMEGA Access Points (pos. 3, maximum ten points of entry per Access Point), additional Repeaters if applicable OMEGA software At least one locking device (No. 4).
Introduction OMEGA system components The following shows the components that can be combined within the OMEGA system: These options can be purchased from a CEStronics partner to match your specific requirements. 1 Locking media (optional): Your locking devices can be operated with the following locking media: Transponder key, key fob, card.
Introduction Scope of delivery Before proceeding with fitting and commissioning, please check the contents of the package and the scope of delivery. Check new devices for transport damage and inform your CEStronics partner promptly if any damage is found.
Introduction Unpacking the Access Point Take the Access Point out of the package and remove any packaging material such as film, padding and packaging board. NOTICE Risk of damage to the Access Point. Only use the supplied power pack for the power supply of your Access Point.
Introduction RF ranges Ensure that the permissible RF ranges are observed. Install the devices within the maximum RF range of 25 metres. Checking the range The optional RF-TRACE-MASTER transponder card allows you to check the quality of the radio frequency (RF) link between the OMEGA server and your locking devices. The RF-TRACE-MASTER triggers the following signals of your locking devices: Green LED of your locking cylinder, IES fitting or wall terminal flashes twice: strong RF link.
Introduction If the red and the green LEDs flash alternately or simultaneously, the RF link is weak and should be checked to ensure full functionality and reliability. To verify the quality of the RF link to your locking devices, proceed as follows: Hold the RF-TRACE-MASTER for about two seconds in front of your locking cylinder or wall terminal. The function is performed immediately.
Fitting the Access Point Fitting the Access Point NOTICE If an Access Point fails, your locking devices cannot be reached any more. Make sure that the Access Points are always easily accessible. Make sure that all electrical connections can be separated at any time. NOTICE The Access Point may be damaged if not fitted properly. Only skilled personnel may fit the Access Point. This personnel must have been trained on the product by CEStronics or a CEStronics partner.
Fitting the Access Point When fitting the Access Point, you must ensure the following conditions: Make sure that the power supply and the power supply cable can be plugged in. Make sure that the network cable can be plugged in. The Access Point must not be fitted on metallic surfaces. Always install the Access Point as far away from ground potentials as possible to avoid interference with the radio traffic. The Access Point may not be fitted outdoors. The Access Point is supplied preassembled.
Fitting the Access Point The Access Point must be fitted at an easily accessible location, e.g. near a ceiling or on a wall. A suitable fitting position is for instance above a door frame, at a height of about 2 metres and with as much distance to the nearest object or wall as possible. If the reception is good, install the Access Point with the ports pointing upwards. However, also all other orientations are possible, such as with the antenna pointing to the side or downwards as shown in the figure.
Fitting the Access Point Verify the reception at your locking devices with the optional RF-TRACE-MASTER (see page 14). The orientation of the antenna can be adjusted. As long as the antenna has not yet been screwed in tight, it can be rotated by 360°. After it has been tightened, the antenna can only be aligned vertically and horizontally.
Fitting the Access Point Push the Access Point onto the wall mount. The Access Point only sits properly after it has snapped in the wall mount. Do not yet screw the antenna (1) tight in the antenna base (2) at this point. Do not use any tools for tightening. Establish the required cable connections as described on page 13. Put the Access Point into service.
Fitting the Access Point Check the orientation of the antenna to ensure sufficient effective radiated power. Use the optional RF-TRACE-MASTER to check the effective radiated power (see also note on page 14 "Checking the range"). Orientate the antenna so that your locking devices receive the maximum effective radiated power. As long as the antenna has not yet been screwed in tight, you can rotate it by 360° and align it vertically and horizontally.
