Compatible items
Following a brief description of the items supported by
the ABSOLUTA, shown on the Table 3: refer to the
items instructions for further information.
ABS-IP This is an IP module that allows you to con-
nect the ABSOLUTA control panel to a LAN through the
Ethernet interface or via WiFi, using the WiFi bridge
ABS-VAP11N supplied on request. This makes it possi-
ble to:
Øprogram, monitor and check the control panel via the
BOSS application installed on a PC connected to the
same LAN as the control panel itself;
Øprogram, monitor and check the control panel via the
BOSS application installed on a PC connected to the
control panel via the Internet;
Ømonitor the control panel using receivers Sur-Gard
SYSTEM I,II and III, via IP;
Øcheck the control panel and report events notification
on iPhone and Android smartphones via the
ABSOLUTA app (push notifications);
Øreport events via e-mail (push notifications).
ABS-GSM This is a GSM module that can be used by
the control panel as a backup dialler if the internal
PSTN dialler malfunctions or is tampered or can re-
place it completely in areas accessed by mobile phone
services where a PSTN line is not available.
In that sense, the GSM Module is completely transpar-
ent to the control panel for the following functions:
Øtransmission of voice messages over a GSM chan-
nel;
Øtransmission of events with Contact ID and SIA pro-
tocol over a GSM channel;
Ømanaging the control panel by telephone.
3In order to comply with EN50131 Grade 3 stan-
dards, it is essential to use the ABS-IP IP module
for the notification of alarms: the built-in PSTN
communicator and GSM/GPRS ABS-GSM Module
can be used simultaneously.
The GSM Module also allows you to:
Øsend SMS messages to a series of telephone num-
bers in order to report events (alarms, tampers, trou-
bles, etc.);
Øactivate/deactivate the actions of the control panel
(outputs, voice messages, etc.) by sending SMS
messages to the number of the GSM Module;
Øactivate actions just by recognizing the number that
is calling the GSM Module (at no cost);
Øcheck the control panel’s status by phone by sending
and receiving SMS messages;
ØArm/Disarm the Partitions via SMS (ONLY Grade 2
Control Panels);
Øperform Teleservice (remote management and pro-
gramming of the control panel) over the Internet on a
GPRS channel.
M-IN/OUT The M-IN/OUT is an Input/Output Expander
which allows the number of zones and outputs of the
Control Panel to be increased. It can be programmed to
function as: 6-zone Input Expander; Output Expander
with 6 Outputs; Input/Output Expander with 4 zones
and 2 Outputs; Input/Output Expander with 2 zones and
4 Outputs. In this manual the term Input Expander will
be used to refer to the M-IN/OUT programmed to func-
tion as an Input Expander or Input/Output Expander;
the term Output Expander will be used to refer to the
M-IN/OUT programmed to function as an Output
Expander or Input/Output Expander.
+An M-IN/OUT programmed as an Input/Output Ex-
pander contributes both to the number of Input Ex-
panders and to the number of Output Expanders
connected to the Control Panel.
AIn order to comply with EN50131-1 and EN50131-3
standards, the tamper and wall-tamper contacts of
the M-IN/OUT installed outside of the panel con-
tainer, must be enabled: the M-IN/OUT’s TAMP
DIS jumper must be removed.
Access Control Devices The ABSOLUTA supports
ECLIPSE2 and PROXI Digital Key Readers, and
M-touch, T-Black, T-White, PREMIUM LCD and
CLASSIKA LCD Keypads.
The operating principles of the ECLIPSE2 and PROXI
Readers are the same, except:
ØECLIPSE2 Readers accept SAT Keys and
PROXI-CARD and are for indoor use (unless
mounted inside weatherproof boxes);
AThe ECLIPSE2 Key Reader is classified by the
EN50131-3 standard as Auxiliary Control Equip-
ment (ACE), Type A.
ØPROXI Readers have weather strips, and can be in-
stalled indoors or outdoors (IP34 Protection Class)
and accept SAT Keys and PROXI-cards.
ØECLIPSE2 and PROXI Systems operate without contacts,
therefore, are highly resistant to oxidization and wear.
AThe PROXI Proximity Reader is classified by the
EN50131-3 standard as Auxiliary Control Equip-
ment (ACE), Type A.
ØThe operating principles of the T-Black,T-White,
PREMIUM and CLASSIKA Keypads are the same,
with a large display (2 lines of 16 characters); only
the T-Black,T-White and PREMIUM Keypads have
on-board proximity reader.
AThe T-Black,T-White and PREMIUM LCD
keypads, and the CLASSIKA LCD and M-Touch
keypads, are classified by the EN50131-3 stan-
dard as Auxiliary Control Equipments (ACE), re-
spectively Type B and Type A.
ØThe M-Touch keypad has a large display allowing
the graphical display of information about the system
in colour. In addition, the display is touch sensitive so
interaction with this keypad is easy and intuitive.
