Connection to UCMs


UCM/USB is shown above

Connect UCMs to Comfort using the 4 way white cable shown below from JP2 or JP2A on the UCM to "RS485" 4 way header on Comfort. The 4 way cable can also be used to connect to other UCMs in a daisy chain connection.

4 way RS485 cable shown above

DO NOT CONNECT the UCM Firmware programming cable shown below! This is only used for upgrading firmware version 5 to the latest firmware. Firmware version 6 and above do NOT require this cable.

UCM Firmware programming cable. DO NOT CONNECT

Refer to the UCM Manual for detailed information

The UCM/USB or UCM/ETH03 used to program Comfort with the Comfigurator software should be set to ID=1 which is the default setting.

For UCM/USB driver installation, please see http://www.comfortforums.com/forum4/3404.html

The ID of the UCM is set by DIP switch SW7 in the above photo (in older UCMs, shunts may be used instead of DIP switch).
ID settings are as follows

A      B      C      D          ID
On   On    On    On       1
Off   On    On    On       2
On   Off    On    On       3
Off   Off    On    On       4
On   On    Off    On       5
Off   On    Off    On       6
On   Off    Off    On       7
Off   Off    Off    On       8
Off   Off    Off    Off      Use COPY Button

The newer way of setting the IDs is to put all switches ABCD to OFF and using the COPY button as shown in http://www.comfortforums.com/forum4/3418.html

Other UCMs eg UCM/Cbus, UCM/KNX, UCM/Zwave, UCM/Universal, UCM/Dupline etc are connected in the same way, and needs their ID to be set in the same way.
The UCM used for programming must have the ID set as 1, and other "external" interface UCMs ID must be 2 and higher. The 4 way cable can be used to connect from one UCM to the next via JP2 and JP2A.

Keypads, Slaves, SCS and other UCMs should have their ID set so that there is no conflict with other modules of the same type. for example if there are 3 keypads, their IDs should be 1, 2, 3 with no missing IDs. Similarly if there are more than 1 UCM in the system, the ID should be set to 1, 2,3 etc with no missing Ids. If IDs are not unique they will conflict with each other and will not be able to communicate with Comfort.
Ids of different modules are independent and separate, ie Keypad IDs and UCM Ids will not conflict. KP ID=1 and UCM ID=1 can exist in the same system.

Connection to Keypads
Open the back housing of the keypad to connect the  wires to it.
Connect Keypads to Comfort using 6 wires (CAT5);
Comfort                       Keypad
12V                               12V (NOT S12V)
COM                              COM
KA                                 KA
KB                                 KB
KP VOICE                      VOICE
KP MIC                          MIC

Connection to Door Stations
Connect Door Stations to Comfort also using 6 wires (CAT5)
Comfort                       Keypad
12V                               12V (NOT S12V)
COM                              COM
KA                                 KA
KB                                 KB
DP VOICE                      VOICE
DP MIC                          MIC



Comfort provides power to UCMs, Keypads and other modules but Slave Expansion Modules have their own transformer and power supply

Connection  to Slaves (SEP01)
Slaves should have their own power supply and 7AH 12V Battery. Comfort Controller and each Slave can supply 1A at 12V  to power detectors and sensors, relays and automation outputs.

The Slaves is connected to Comfort Controller by KA KB and COM
Comfort                    SEP01/02
KA                             KA
KB                             KB
COM                         COM

The ID of the Slave must be set starting from 1 up to a maximum of 5
The ID shunts on the Slave are used to set the ID similar to the UCM. The default ID of Slaves from the factory is 1
The Tamper input (TAMP/COM) should be shorted or connected to a Tamper switch  to prevent a Tamper alarm. Comfort can identify which slave or  keypad caused a tamper alarm.


Turn on power to Comfort. This supplies power to all the other modules connected to Comfort.

The quide will be continued in the next section to show what happens after power on
