AS2000 is a PC-based installation and service tool, irreplaceable when installing or maintaining loops; it gives both detailed static and dynamic point information. The system downloads information from all units connected to the loop and presents the gathered information on-screen.
AS2000 make it unnecessary for the installation engineer to carry out the complex and often time-consuming task of registering every point and unit connected to loops. This tool has three main advantages: loop-data is collected quickly and efficiently, faults and errors are localized and the collected data can form the basis for the fire-alarm system’s configuration. Connecting the system to a loop will automatically result in a graphical representation of the entire loop. This on-screen map is 100% true-to-life, presenting the actual installed loop.
- Time-saving – troubleshooting is automated, the system detects and reports faults
- Economical – the installation process is sped up
- Easy – fault detection during start-up and maintenance, before the fire-alarm system is started or online
- Quality assurance for the fire detection system
AS-2000 includes the following main features:
- Graphical TOPOLOGY view of all loop units in one loop. Presents loop with branch off (1 level), loop break position, loop short-circuit postion, and individual graphical symbols for all AutroSafe loop units.
- Graphical view of SMV-curves of 4 selectable detectors on a loop.
- Graphical view of SMV-bar graphs for all detectors on a loop, giving actual, minimum and maximum SMV.
- Measuring facilities for finding a loops total resistance, current consumption and voltage drop.
- Upgrade functionality for AutroGuard firmware.
Software packages
The AS2000 software is delivered in different variants:
- AS2000_<version>.exe is a stand-alone executable file of the AS2000 tool.
- AS2000_<version>_Installer_<FW-version>.exe is an installer package that contains the AS2000 tool plus the firmware to upgrade specific AutroGuard units.
Available installer packages
The version of the latest AutroGuard firmware differs depending on which units they target:
- Version 1.22.6, used for EX units (V-530): installer package AS2000_7.11.2_Installer_V530_1.22.6.exe
- Version 1.24.5, used for non-EX units (V-430): installer package AS2000_7.11.2_Installer_V430_1.24.5.exe
Use the installer package that matches the units on your loop.
If you have a loop with a mix of EX and non-EX units, run the update twice (once with each installer package).
In addition, there are installer packages for reprogramming AutroSafe bases to Autroprime and vice versa:
- Installer package AS2000_7.11.2_Installer_ASafe_BASE_1.24.5.exe reprograms V-100/AP bases to V-100 bases and updates the units to 1.24.5.
- Installer package AS2000_7.11.2_Installer_APrime_BASE_1.24.5.exe reprograms V-100 bases to V-100/AP bases and updates the units to 1.24.5.
The latest AutroGuard firmware includes the following updates:
- Updates the Cover Detection algorithm to better handle reflected and direct sunlight.
- Resolves an issue where the SelfVerify function would trigger a Cover Detection fault.
- Changes the Cover Detection sensitivity (delay for normal sensitivity is now 10 minutes instead of 2 minutes).
- Makes bases compatible with AutroGuard CO detector.
- Improves the current consumption of the AutroGuard sounder, which was higher than specified for the Dutch Slow Whoop sound pattern.
- Includes updates from the previously released firmware package for fix of “Add-on board missing” issue.
