1. Product Overview

The AS-201 Single-Zone Address Module provides a bus-connected method of expanding an AS-9000 series alarm control panel with one additional detection zone.

The module uses an address-code setting mechanism and communicates with the panel through the alarm-panel bus signal lines. Once wired, the panel can run a bus-device search from the keypad to detect connected modules automatically. Each module carries a unique internal code number; if a duplicate code is detected across modules, the panel can automatically reassign the affected module starting from address 399.

Main Functions

  • Single-zone alarm expansion
  • Bus communication with AS-9000 series alarm control panels
  • Connection of normally open (NO) and normally closed (NC) detection devices
  • Address-code configuration
  • Automatic bus-device search
  • Duplicate-code identification and reassignment
  • Compact installation format
  • Communication status indication

2. Key Technical Features

Bus Communication
The AS-201 communicates with the AS-9000 series alarm control panel exclusively through the panel’s bus signal lines. This is a proprietary bus interface documented for the AS-9000 system; it is not an Ethernet, IP, wireless, or cloud communication interface.

Single-Zone Detection Input
Accepts detection devices with normally open (NO) or normally closed (NC) outputs.

Address-Code Configuration
The module uses a physical address-code setting switch.

Communication Status Indicator
A blinking indicator confirms normal module communication with the panel.

Compact Form Factor
60 × 16 × 10 mm, 10 g — suitable for discreet installation near the detection point.

3. AS-9000 Compatibility & Bus Communication

Communication MethodAlarm control panel bus (proprietary, wired)

System integrators evaluating the AS-201 for a project should confirm the AS-9000 configuration currently deployed or planned before specifying this module.

4. Detection Device Connection

The AS-201 accepts one remote detection device per module, using either:

  • Normally Open (NO) output, or
  • Normally Closed (NC) output

The specific detector model and its electrical interface should be checked against project requirements before deployment.

5. Wiring Interface

The AS-201 provides six wires for power, bus communication and detection-device connection.

Wire ColorConnection
RedPositive power supply
BlackNegative power supply
GreenAlarm control panel bus (positive)
YellowAlarm control panel bus (negative)
BlueDetection equipment NC
WhiteDetection equipment COM

Wiring should be carried out according to the AS-201 and AS-9000 system documentation.

6. Address Code & Zone Identification

The AS-201 uses two distinct identification mechanisms, which should not be confused:

1. Address Code (user-configured via dial switch)
Determines the zone number shown on the keypad:

Zone Number = Address Code + 100

Documented zone range: 100–299.

2. Unique Module Code (factory-assigned, internal to each module)
Used by the panel’s intelligent identification function. If two or more modules are assigned the same code, the panel can automatically reassign the affected module starting from address 399 to resolve the conflict.

This distinction matters for installers configuring multiple AS-201 modules on the same AS-9000 system.

7. Smart Bus-Device Search

After wiring, the panel can automatically detect connected AS-201 modules:

  1. Complete AS-201 power, bus, and detection-device wiring.
  2. Access the AS-9000 keypad.
  3. Enter the Device Management menu.
  4. Select Search Bus Device.
  5. The panel searches for and establishes connection with bus expansion modules.
  6. The keypad displays the number of devices found.

A new search should be run whenever modules are added, removed, or replaced.

8. Applications

  • Perimeter Defense — connecting remote alarm detectors at perimeter detection points
  • Remote Detection Points — incorporating detection points into an AS-9000 system via the panel bus
  • Intrusion Alarm Zone Expansion — adding single-zone capacity to an existing or planned AS-9000 installation
  • Security System Expansion Projects — projects requiring additional detection zones within a documented AS-9000 architecture
