protection against opposite connecting battery.
4 OPERATION

A device maintains communication with the monitoring station via
Ethernet/Internet network.
If status of inputs is the same as programmed one (NO or NC) a device
stays in a rest. Change of status on any input results in immediate signal
transmitting of this event by the device.
Note:
Each device input (from IN1 till IN4) may be individually defined as on open one
(NO) or closed one (NC). It means that when in NO, input shorting will be an
active state and, a non-shorting will be an active state in NC.
All inputs respond only to states change which means that transmitting will
follow only if an active state is on input and maintains during programmed
minimum time. Maintenance of active state longer than a minimum time will
result in single indicating. Another input activation (another transmitting) is
possible only after input reached based state.
EX20 transmitter additionally is equipped with input of a PSTN telephone line,

and input to connect telephone communicator module of alarm control panel.
Module constantly controls availability of an external telephone line. Decrease
of line voltage below around 5V is deemed as a line damage. If an exterior
phone line is operating, it is provided for output of telephone communicator
module. If damage of urban line follows, a module disconnects an urban line and
provides a voltage simulating telephone line to output of telephone
communicator module. Module always provides voltage corresponding to
operating phone line for an alarm control panel (namely to phone communicator
module) regardless of urban line status.
Configuration of transmitter for cooperation with a control panel’s phone
communicator requires entering into memory a phone number for which
transmitter is to answer.
Once a phone is picked up via an alarm control panel telephone
communicator, a telephone number is being dialled to make connection. After
the control panel dialled a number to which transmitter is to respond, a
transmitter takes over a phone line namely disconnects an urban line from a
control panel and provides to a phone communicator voltage that simulates an
operating phone line. Next it generates confirmation signal and waits for data
from a control panel –next DTMF tones generated with communicator are
treated as data. After transmitting adequate number of DTMF signs (16 for
ContactID and 9 for Ademco Express 4/2) a transmitter generates Kissoff signal.
Collection of data from control panel finishes at hanging up a phone of a control
panel by phone communicator module. After that transmitter comes back to
standard operation –namely if urban line is operating, it is being connected to an
alarm control panel and waits for dialling of new number.
If telephone number dialled with communicator is other than number module
answers, no operation follows and it waits until communicator hangs up a phone
and picks it up again – since picking up a telephone number dialled with a
communicator module is being checked.
All programmable parameters are saved in memory and in case of voltage

drop that are not lost. Supply of power starts the transmitter with saved
settings.

5 CONFIGURATION PROGRAM
5.1 INITIAL REMARKS
The GPRS transmitters configurator (versions 1.1.709 and higher) allow to

configure the EX20 Ethernet transmitter. For local parameters programming,
firmware replacement and reading the events log the dedicated LX-PROG cable
should be used. Monitoring of the devices should take place using a dedicated
LX-DATA cable (not included).

5.3 PROGRAM FUNCTIONS
After installation and program starting a main view shall be displayed on

screen. Thanks to this view an access to program or programmable
parameters of device is possible (see chapter 6).
Main window of program is divided into some fields.
Main menu: at upper part of window, contains control and configuration

options.
Main menu contents:

Main menu is available as icons on fast access bar:
5.3.1 File -> New
Opens new set of parameters. Editing of configuration parameters is

possible.
5.3.2 File -> Open
If file contains saved settings, they may be used to program next device.
Firstly a catalogue where file has been saved shall be chosen and then
name of file shall be provided. Obtained data collection may be modified by
the user. Any amendments are effective if send to device.
5.3.3 File -> Save
During programming many devices in different configurations, it is not

necessary to have in mind each one as it may be saved on hard disc or
floppy disk under any name and it may be loaded later on. This function
saves on disc any information from configuration wizard window. After
activation of function a dialog window appears with request to provide file
name. Default data is saved with CMI extension (Configuration Memory
Image).
5.3.4 File -> Language

Allows for selection of any available languages (determined in attached
exterior language files).

5.3.5 File -> Connections
Before programming of devices, a connection type shall be defined. It is
possible to do it with two methods: - locally, - remotely
5.3.5.1 Local connection
Local connection means that configuration software (namely computer on

which is installed) is directly connected to proper terminal of transmitter.
Connection is possible owing to special wire and through RS-232 serial port.
To program device or make any other operations (e.g. reading of device
settings, firmware amendments, etc.) it is necessary firstly to define
connection parameters.
It is possible to do so with the above window that is available after

activation of connection from Main Menu and selection Configuration tab or
after clicking on icon on fast access bar and clicking on
RS232 tab
Define:
Name of connection e.g. Locally
Choose serial port e.g. COM 4
Click on [Add] button to confirm settings. Connections shall be saved (and

inserted in table). From this time on program shall enable wires

connection with device and reading, and saving of parameters in memory
will be possible.
5.3.5.2 Remote connection
The device and software makes for complete configuration with GPRS link
or CSD channel. This programming mode requires definition of linking
parameters.
GPRS
The GPRS tab allows for configuration of link with the device via
OSM.2007 server.
Define:
( Name of connection e.g.: Remote
( Select name of analyzer e.g.: Primary
( Enter analyzer address e.g.: www.ebs.pl
( Enter port on which analyzer operates e.g. 9000
Click [Add] button to confirm settings and save connection (settings are
inserted into table). Since that time a remote connection to device,
reading and saving of parameters in memory is possible.
Notice: The following parameters: analyzer name, analyze

address, port relate to settings of OSM.2007 receiver of
monitoring system. Remote programming is available only if
above mentioned device (or software) is used.
5.3.6 6.3.6.File-> Archiving

All configurator settings, both those read from devices and saved into
devices, are automatically saved on hard disk. If the catalogues were not
found during installation of configurator, the files can be found e.g. at:
C:\Program Files\EBS\KonfiguratorLX\configs\LX10_20000
The LX10_20000 catalogue contains all files connected with programming
the LX10 device with factory number 20000. Their names contain date and
time of operation, as well as its type (writing / reading). The files’ extension
is cmi.
5.3.7 File -> Exit
Finishes the programme operation.
5.3.8 Operations -> Read
The function reads out data saved in the module’s memory. The data
exchange takes place via the port selected in “Select connection type”
section (see the description of “Configuration” option below). Correct
readout is confirmed with appropriate massage. The data read from the
device may be saved to a file (see point.5.3.3), and then use in other
devices.
This function requires defining of the type and parameters of connection.
For example, for the local connection the following view is displayed:
Where:
Port – serial port to which module is connected.

Access code– service code of transmitter
Detailed description of connections configuration is included in clause 5.3.5.
5.3.9 Operations -> Send
This function is analogical to the above one, at the same time it enables
data saving into EEPROM module. Correct saving is confirmed with message
on a screen.
5.3.10 Operation -> Restore default settings

If operation “Read” finishes with error message (e.g. if access code is
unknown) it is possible to come back to default settings by selecting
“Restore default settings”. e “Do you want to overwrite current
configuration with default values?”. After confirming the following window
shall appear:
This operation is possible only with local connection. After operation

completing device parameters shall come back to default settings.

6.3.1 Inputs
For every input the following settings shall be determined respectively.
6.3.1.1 NO/NC
This parameter allow for setting of constant input. Change of this state
results in sending information on alarm. Allowable NC and NO input. NC input
shall be shorted to ground. Actuation follows after decay. NO input remains
open. At this moment of shortening to ground activation follows.

6.3.1.2 Delay [ms]
This parameter means minimum time for change maintenance at input so

that it would be detected by transmitter. Factory setting is 400ms.
6.3.1.3 Lock
With this option you can lock any input of module, and as a result condition
changes on this input will be ignored and will not be reported to monitoring
station. Lock may be persistent or temporary.
In case of temporary lock – user can set lock time and number of input
state changes after which lock occurs. Lock time is counted from first input
state change. More detailed information about input locks is shown on a
diagram.

- For all inputs parameters N and Tb are configurable

- It is possible to sent 2 x N – 1 during Tb. Statically for long period a device sents max N events in Tb.
- Atomatic lock is engage after restor
Temporary lock may be deactivated by a command sent via OSM.2007 server

(RLIMIT command)
The user may permanently block a given input checking a Permanent field
corresponding to a given input.
Permanent lock may be activated and deactivated via OSM.2007 server.
6.3.2 Output 1 / Output 2

6.3.2.1 Active output mode and time
Thanks to this option you may choose output operation mode. There are two
operation modes available:
o Bistable– connection follows for indefinite time- up to the moment of
disconnection of power for module,
o Monostable– connection follows for time defined by user - every
100ms.
6.3.2.2 Conditions
Additionally describe other events to result in activation of inputs There are

two options available:
a) When connection with the server is lost (directly upon detection)
b) Upon change of state of one of the inputs from non-active to active
There are two options available:
o Never: input disturbance does not cause operation of sabotage

output,
o No network: input disturbance causes actuation of sabotage output if
sending of information to server is impossible.
o Always: every input disturbance causes actuation of sabotage output.

o Available network: input disturbance causes actuation of sabotage
output if sending of information to server is possible.
6.4 MONITORING
Thanks to this option you may determine which of available signals generated
by the device shall be transmitted to monitoring station.
6.4.1 Turning on/off
In this part you define signals that may be reported at monitoring station.
There is possibility to send information on alarms (input state change from rest
to action status) and on returns of input state from action to rest
(normalization).
To transmit any signal you should only click it (proper square on your right).
Click on [Clear] button to remove all marked signals.
Click on [Invert] button to change markings to contrary.
6.4.2 Skip initial state

6.6 RS232
6.6.1 Serial port settings
The device has been equipped with RS-232 serial port to enable obtaining
additional information. To make use of this link it is required to define its
parameters. For this purpose select parameters from the below table:
Parameter Value
Baud rate (bits/sec) 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400,
57600, 115200
Data bits 5, 6, 7, 8
Parity None, even, odd, mark, space
Stop bits 1, 2
Flow control None, RTS, CTS, RTS/CTS
The selected parameters shall correspond to RS-232 port settings in device, with
which the transmitter is to cooperate.

6.6.2 Buffer flushing
Data received from connected device are stored in transmitter buffer. Buffer
capacity is 511 bytes. Define criteria that meeting shall mean data transmission
to monitoring system transmitter. The following options are available:
- After receiving ASCII character
- After expiry of defined time
- After receiving defined amount of characters
For every option list of available values are provided, and they me be scrolled
down after clicking on adequate arrow.
The transmitter controls buffer contents in respect of meeting of determined

criteria. It is performed with the following order: selected character, time,
number of characters.
6.6.3 Advanced port options
6.6.3.1 Disable data receiving
This option allow for lock of data received from device connected to RS-232
port of transmitter. It is used in case of failure or situation when EX20 is being
used to control the device.
6.6.3.2 Disable data sending
This option allow for lock of data sending to device connected to RS-232 port
of transmitter. This prevents accidental or unauthorized controlling of the
device.
6.6.3.3 Half Duplex mode
This option provides for automatic lock of data receiving (via RTS) if
transmitter begin to send data to the device.
6.6.3.4 Tests of device connection to port
If the device connected to transmitter port generates periodical connection

tests, these tests may be under EX20 control. To provide for that (after this
option activation) enter text message and define frequency (in “Test presence
every [s]” option).
Additionally user may determine if text messages will be sent to server. If
this option was not selected it is required to make sure that while the device
connected to transmitter port is not sending text message to transmitter, EX20
sends to server due message (See chapter 6.4 Tests RS232).
6.7 PHONE LINE

The device is equipped with an external, city telephone line. It may be used to
transmit data from an alarm control panel. Additionally transmitter may collect
information from a control panel using its phone communicator, and next
transmit them to the server via Ethernet. The mentioned below parameters shall
be defined for proper operation of the device.
6.7.1 Phone line
This tab is provided to determine settings of telephone line.
6.7.1.1 External phone line
If this function has been chosen (Activation) the transmitter will be

cooperating with PSTN line. This way data transmission is possible from an
alarm control panel with two ways: via Ethernet and standard telephone line.
6.7.1.2 Monitor external phone line voltage
If transmission with two ways follows, it is necessary that operator of

monitoring system received information on access to an external telephone
line. Choice of this option will result in voltage drop on telephone line (longer
that defined minimal time of decay) that will be signalized with an adequate
message sent via Ethernet.
Note: The transmitter is to simulate a telephone line access if:

o A PSTN line is not connected

o A PSTN line is connected but has not been activated –option from
clause 6.7.1.1
o Options from clause 6.7.1.1 and clause 6.7.1.2 are active and
voltage on terminals TIP–RING decreased below 8V.
6.7.1.3 Report off-hook condition
If a phone set is connected in parallel output of control panel communicator

(to terminals T1-R1 of transmitter), picking up of a phone prevent from
exchange of data between a control panel and a transmitter. There is
possibility to control this situation. Choice of this option result in sending a
report to monitoring station if time of picking up the phone exceeds
determined time limit.
6.7.1.4 Report “intervals too long”
This option is being used if in configuration PSTN line– EX20- Alarm Control
Panel there are not other telecommunication devices. If such device will be
connected and telephone number will be dialled (and a call will follow) after
expiry defined time limit (counted since conclusion of last digit dialling) the
transmitter sends a message. This operation prevents unauthorised
installation of additional devices.
6.7.1.5 Generate dial tone
Some alarm control panels require that during a receiver picking up a tone of
dialling was actuated. To enable cooperation with a transmitter it is possible
to make a transmitter to generate such tone.
6.7.2 First and Second phone number
To provide for proper cooperation between a transmitter and a control panel in

DTMF mode determination of some parameters is required. The below
described functions are analogous to the both telephone numbers that may be
saved in the device memory.

6.7.2.1 DTMF phone number
This is a number that has been saved in memory of an alarm control panel. If
the panel is to transmit information on an event it shall dialled this number.
Transmission of this information via Ethernet will be possible if this number
will be identical as a number entered into the transmitter.
6.7.2.2 Handshake delay
This defines time after which a transmitter generates confirmation to an

alarm control panel for correct phone number dial. Default setting is 2.0 sec.
European Standard determines this value at 0.5 to 12.5 sec.
6.7.2.3 Protocol
Select protocol of data transmission used by an alarm control panel and that
is acceptable for monitoring station. Available options: ContactID, Ademco
Fast, and DTMF.
Note:
1) [Disable CRC checking] option may be used for ContactID and Ademco
formats. Some control panel generate improper messages regarding a
control sum for transmitted data, the device is not able to confirm collection
of data, and as a result the panel tries to send them again (until execution
of all determined trials). Select this option to avoid the above mentioned.

2) In case of DTMF protocol we gain access to specific parameters used to
generate some control signals.
6.8 FIRMWARE
The device is equipped with built in bootloader that allow for updating and
change of firmware. During programming all information is displayed in respect
of carried out operation.
Followthe following procedure:

a) Launch configuration program
b) Open “Firmware” option of configuration wizard
c) Open file with new firmware (click [Open] button to locate where file is).
d) Select file transmission mode: local or remote.
Note: Procedure of assigning firmware to a device is analogous to
programming a device. For procedure refer to chapter 7.
e) Click [Start] button to start software exchange.
f) Loading course is displayed on special window.
g) Close the window after completed saving
From this time on the device will work under control of new firmware.
Note: The above procedure shall be carried out with due care to avoid
improper device operation.
6.9 DEVICE MONITOR

“Device Monitor” provides real-time information about device state. To use this
function device must be connected to PC computer with LX-DATA cable (using
DEBUG plug). Correct RS232 port must be chosen in “Port” field. “Device
monitor” provides following information:
• AC and battery power indication
• PSTN line indication
• Correct network connection
• Inputs state monitoring
• Outputs state monitoring
• Type or serial number of device
• Firmware and hardware revision
• Device time
Changes to all parameters are also shown as text in LOG window
6.10 EVENTS HISTORY

The function allows to read the recent events recorded in the device’s memory The
memory may store about 5 thousand recent events In order to read it, the EX20
should be connected to a PC using LX-PROG cable The user should then select
appropriate RS232 port in the „Events history” window, enter the installer’s code
and click ”Read”
7 DEVICE PROGRAMMING
Programming of device is possible with “GPRS transmitter’s configurator”

configuration program described in chapter 5. To program the device establish
connection with a device. Depending on connection mode there are two ways for
programming.
7.1 LOCAL PROGRAMMING.
To program a device locally follow the procedure:
a) Connect PROG joint (on printed circuit) with COM computer port by way of
service wire, defined in option -> RS-232
b) Connect power supply to terminals +12V and GND. After connection and
detection of programming wire a module shall signal this with LED diodes:
a green one shall flash and red one shall flicker.
c) Launch software and define device options. Provide right servicing code.

d) Save settings into memory of device. Saving course is displayed in special
window.
e) After saving disconnect power supply and disassembly service wire.
f) Connect module wiring pursuant to guidelines from chapter 4. Turn power
