Guardall

Guardall QX32i, PX80 and PX500 are multi-area security systems. The integration with HSYCO can be accomplished via direct control through the RS-232 port on the panel. Th I/O Server supports QX32i, PX80 and PX500 Guardall units with software version 4.33.

Communication

Employ a female-female RS-232 crossed cable to connect the panel directly to HSYCO or to an Ethernet/RS-232 gateway. The cable must follow this pinout diagram:

2 ↔ 3
3 ↔ 2
5 ↔ 5
7 ↔ 8
8 ↔ 7

RS-232 parameters:

Baud rate	9600
Data bits	8
Stop bit	1
Parity	none
Flow control	none

Guardall Configuration

You must configure the unit to enable serial communication even if the system is armed. Digit the technician code on the keypad and select menu entry "99" (Total Configuration), then select entry “10” (Communication) and make sure that the serial connection is enabled when the system is armed (on).

Moreover, it is necessary to enable the required features to be available remotely. To this end, from the technician’s menu, select again menu entry “99”, then “12”. Here enter the number 1 and modify the settings accordingly to your requirements.

guardall.ini

The guardall.ini file is a specific configuration file located in the root directory. Here you can define the names of the groups so that they will be automatically added to the user interface. Add a new line for each group using this format:

<io_server_id>.group.<n> = <name>

For instance:

guard.group.1 = Kitchen
guard.group.2 = Living room
