+--- Thread: Upgrading Comfort I to Comfort II - Module Compatibility (/thread-1470.html)
- ident - 05-14-2009
Which of the old Comfort modules can still be used with Comfort II? We try to give a complete list of modules here
In general most modules which are connected to the Comfort RS485 Bus, ie keypads, door stations, UCMs, SCS, RIO are compatible with some limitations
- Keypads (KP01, KP02) - These can still be used, except with the Door Station Intercom. KP01 and KP02 will not be able to talk to Door stationsThey are perfectly good for arming, disarming, voice menu, recording and listening to messages. At least 1 new KP03 or KP04 is recommended
- Door Stations - The performance as Intercom with telephones and keypads wil not be good. It is recommended to change to DP03, DS01 or DS02 (DS01 and DS01 require DM02 Door station Interface module which is included in the Upgrade package 2)
- RGR01, RGR02, RGR03 - Not compatible. RGR05 is needed. The Upgrade package 2 includes RGR05
- LEM01, LEM02, LEM03 (Comfort I) - Cannot be used with Comfort II Controller or Slave. Outputs of LEM01 may exhibit random outputs switching effects
- LEM01, LEM02, LEM03 (Comfort 2) - The new LEMs can be used with Comfort 1 Controller and Slave Modules as replacements
- UCM01, UCM/IR, UCX01, UCM/Ethernet - Not Compatible. Also UCM01 cannot be used to upgrade firmware of other Comfort Flash based modules. UCM/USB is part of Upgrade packages 1 and 2
- Other UCMs eg CBus, EIB, Smartfit - compatible. However the firmware of these UCMs cannot be upgraded like the newer Comfort II modules
- Slaves SEM01, SEM02, SEP01, SEP02 - Compatible depending on firmware. Please refer to the Slave Firmware Compatibilty Document Note that firmware upgrades for old SEM to the last released version are available. Slave firmware version 4.95 and older are not compatible with Comfort II.
- RIO01, SCS01 - Compatible
- IRD01 - Compatible
- IRM01, IR01W, IR02W, IRR01 - compatible
- CSM03-PCB Not compatible due to voltage difference
- CSM03-CT - Compatible
- Security Sensors, Sirens, strobes, panic buttons, battery - compatible
- TWS01, TWS02 - Compatible
- LSM01 - no longer needed due to Sunrise/sunset feature
- ADM01 - compaitble
- DM02 for Comfort 2 can also be used with Comfort 1.

The CM9000 PCB should be mounted on the AC-PLATE01 which will have the same mounting holes as Comfort 1
Photo below shows how the Comfort 2 PCB sits on the metal plate via the plastic standoffs which are supplied
Accessory pack with plastic standoffs and other resistors and cables
Take note of the connections to the Comfort 1 PCB and reconnect them to the new PCB
The Hookup diagram can be downloaded from https://www.cytech.biz/hookup_diagram.html?category_id=106 This shows the connections
Download the Comfort 2 manuals from https://www.cytech.biz/manuals.html and read carefully
If you have the old ccl or cclx file, open in Comfigurator 3 and convert to the correct version, Comfort 2 Ultra (or Optimum depending on which model you have)
Check your program and write to Comfort and test.
