1 Introduction This document describes • how to upgrade an existing Sentinel Digital Ph III safe to a Sentinel Digital Ph III RF-Online safe • how to use the VISIONLINE software together with RF-Online safes 2 Upgrade kit Upgrade kit necessary for an RF-Online upgrade No.
Exploded view of a Sentinel Ph III RF-Online safe 2.1 Safe preparation For a smooth upgrade operation, follow the steps below before connecting the RF-Online kit to the existing safe: 1. 2. 3. 4. Open the front cover and remove one battery from the battery cartridge. Press and hold the Reset button down for at last 3 seconds. Disconnect the flat flex cable from the front board. The safe is now ready for mounting of RF-Online components.
2.2 Cable connection The RFOI has three connectors: X1, X2 and X3. Connector Use X1 X2 X3 Connects RFOI and inside PCB, using existing flex cable Connects RFOI and outside PCB, using short flex cable Connects RFOI and endnode, using 5-wire cable 2.2.1 Connecting RFOI with endnode and outside PCB 1. Connect the 5-wire cable to the endnode. 2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RFOI; socket X3. 3. Connect the short flex cable to the RFOI; socket X2.
4. Insert the endnode firmly as shown in the picture below. 5. Fasten the endnode with one screw; see picture below.
2.2.2 Connecting RFOI with inside PCB 1. Make sure that the 5-wire cable between endnode and RFOI is connected; see section 2.2.1 for details. 2. Insert the RFOI firmly until the snap will hold it; see 1 in the following picture. Be careful about the cable between endnode and RFOI - the cable must be placed below the RFOI board and behind the supporting tower; see 2 in the following picture. The flex cable connected to the X2 connector should be bended upwards. 3.
3 RF-Online safe usage Note: The RF-Online safe can only be connected to an existing ZigBee network. 3.1 Connecting an RF-Online safe to the network Note: Before connecting the safe to the network, the safe must have been commissioned. To allow the safe to join the ZigBee network, the concerned ZigBee router or gateway must be ‘open’. This is performed in the software SysMon (System Monitor); see 3.1.1. Follow the steps in sections 3.1.2 and 3.1.3 for joining the safe to the network. 3.1.
3.1.3 Setting the safe in discovery mode To be able to connect to the open router or gateway, the RF-Online safe must be set in discovery mode: 1. With the gateway/router open from the steps performed in section 3.1.2, connect the Universal Safe Interface (PinKey, ElKey or IR interface) to the service socket of the safe. Depending on what interface that is used, the display of the safe will show • ‘Ser’ (if PinKey is used) • ‘Ir’ (if the IR interface is used) • ‘Open’ (if ElKey is used) 2.
5. Depending on the connection status of the safe, it will display either ‘On .’ or ‘OFF .’. The ‘On .’ status indicates that the safe is connected to the ZigBee network. If ‘On .’ is displayed, the safe interface (PinKey, ElKey or IR) can be removed from the service socket.After that, the safe should appear in the ZigBee Network window of SysMon (System Monitor) with the room number that was set during the commissioning. If the signal to the ZigBee network is weak ‘OFF .
3.2 Disconnecting a safe from the network If the RF-Online functionality in a safe needs to be switched off, e.g. when the safe should be moved from one room to another, follow the steps below: 1. Connect the safe interface to the service socket. 2. Press the buttons Reset and 2 and hold them down for a moment. 3. The safe display will say ‘ConS’. That means that construction mode has been activated (which will reduce the battery consumption). The radio in the safe is turned off. 4.
4 Settings and supervision in VISIONLINE Before starting any work in VISIONLINE, the online functionality for safes must be enabled in the software. Note: VISIONLINE 1.10.0 or higher is required. 4.1 Enabling online functionality for safes Online functionality for safes require that the VISIONLINE software options Online and In-room safes are set; see section 4.1.1.
4.1.2 Settings at Tools/Options/Online/Safes When the steps in section 4.1.1 have been performed, settings for the safes can be made in VISIONLINE. 1. Launch the VISIONLINE software and log on with user name and password. 2. Go to Tools/Options/Online/Safes. 3. If there should be an extra cost for the guest if a safe is used, “Enabled” (default) should be marked. If there is no extra cost, “Enabled (no renting)” should be marked.
4.1 Safes list in VISIONLINE If an RF-Online safe has been successfully installed and connected to the ZigBee network, it should automatically appear in the Safes list in VISIONLINE. Note: There is also a safes list in SysMon; see section 4.3. 1. Double click on Safes under the Lists tab in the navigation window. 4.3 Safes list in SysMon The safes are also shown in a SysMon list, with some extra information in addition to the safes list in VISIONLINE. 1.
4.4 Events All operations of the safe are logged in the safe memory and sent as events to VISIONLINE.
4.5 Alarms Some of the events in section 4.4 will appear as alarms in the Alarms dialog of VISIONLINE. 1. Double click on Alarms under the Lists tab in the navigation window.
4.6 Commands for safes In the Safes list of VISIONLINE, some commands are available in the right-click menu. The commands are described in more detail in sections 4.6.1-4.6.5. 4.6.1 Get info This function displays all available information about the safe.
4.6.2 Set time This command sets date and time to the current system values. If the operation has been successful, the following message box will be displayed: If the operation fails, the following message box will be displayed: 4.6.3 Ping This feature tells the operator whether the safe is online or not. If the ping is successful, the following message box will be displayed: If the operation fails, the following message box will be displayed: 4.6.
4.7 Renting a safe If there is an extra cost for the guest to use the safe (requires that “Enabled” has been chosen at Tools/Options/Online/Safes; see section 4.1.2 for details), the following actions must be taken: • • The safe must be in CodeAct mode, which is set during production or by SafeLink when the safe is commissioned. An activation code will be sent wireless to the safe, so the safe is ready for usage when the guest arrives to the room.
5 Troubleshooting Problem The safe cannot connect to the ZigBee network and does not appear in the ZigBee Network window in SysMon. The safe appears in the ZigBee Network window, but the room number is not shown. After the discovery procedure, the safe “took over” the number from another safe shown in the ZigBee Network window of SysMon. Solution • Move the router closer to the safe to gain the best possible link quality. • Repeat the discovery procedure.
