Also known as a partition : a defined perimeter with
distinct intrusion and access characteristics (such as
entry / exit delays and automated arming) independent
of other areas. In an industrial building, the offices
could be designated as one area, and the plant as the
second area. Chubb AFx™ is area-centric, meaning
input points, outputs and doors are assigned to a spe-
cific area. There are 16 areas available per Chubb
AFx™ panel. Through expansion the Chubb AFx™
system can support a total of 1600 areas per individ-
ual account (site).
Input points are physical connections used to
monitor the security devices connected to the
Chubb AFX™ system. Typical intrusion point de-
vices are door contacts, motion and glass break
sensors, smoke and environmental condition detec-
tors, and panic devices . Each Chubb AFx™ panel
has 12 input points and can support up to 256 such
points via expansion modules. Each Chubb AFx™
input point can be supervised with a programmable
resistance value and diagnosed remotely with the
use of Director Security Management software.
INPUT POINTS
Outputs are used to generate an action, based on a com-
mand from the Chubb AFx™ panel. Typically, outputs trig-
ger sirens, turn lights on or off, open a garage door, etc.
There are 2 relay outputs on the main panel which may be
expanded to 128 relay or transistor outputs (up to twelve of
which may be reserved for numeric paging). Outputs can
be triggered by a single event, manually from the Chubb
AFx™ LCD keypad or according to a logical combination of
up to 15 conditions using Boolean equations (AND ,OR,
NAND,NOR). The wide variety of options for AFx™ outputs
allow creative solutions to application challenges without
the addition of other equipment such as timers and relays.
OUTPUTS
AREA
Definitions
8. 8System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119
An account corresponds to a Chubb AFx™
system in a specific location (site) : a single ac-
count can consist of one or multiple Chubb
AFx™ panels connected to share information
such as users, schedules, authority levels, etc.
A fully expanded Director application supports
up to 1000 AFx™ accounts.
ACCOUNT
USERS
Authority levels simplify the process of adding users to
the Chubb AFx™ system. These levels determine which
areas a system user may access, which commands they
will be able to use, and when they will be able to do so. By
creating custom authority levels for each group of users -
i.e. Office Workers, Warehouse Workers, etc. - any indi-
vidual added is simply assigned an existent authority level
to be instantly ‘activated’ in the Chubb AFx™ system.
AUTHORITY LEVELS
Users are the people who will interact with the Chubb
AFx™ system on an everyday local basis. They will have
access privileges and control over intrusion commands
consistent with their position on the premises : for in-
stance, a company president will likely have full privileges
on a 24-hour basis, whereas a cleaner may only be al-
lowed entry during specific time periods and have little or
no control over the armed state of the system. A user’s
abilities in a Chubb AFx™-controlled application are de-
termined by their assigned authority level.
Schedules consist of times and days of the week . They
are used in conjunction with the areas of a Chubb AFx™
application to create authority levels that will determine a
user’s ability to access and control the system. Schedules
can also be applied to areas and doors to automate func-
tions like automatic arming and locking/unlocking of doors
(in areas where public access is occasionally permitted).
SCHEDULES
Definitions
9. 9System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119
Supervision is an important concept in security : it refers to the
ability of a system to monitor the presence and status of a device
or devices that are associated with the system, either by physical
(hardwired) connection or Radio Frequency (wireless) transmis-
sion. If a device is disconnected or malfunctioning, supervision
will provide instantaneous notice of the condition, prompting an
immediate response to investigate and correct if necessary.
Control panels also monitor local conditions such as the AC
power supply, telephone line and backup battery .
Anti-passback is a mode of operation in access
control that requires a user to both enter and exit a
designated area before that user can enter the same
or another controlled area. This prevents users from
loaning their cards to other users and provides a
comprehensive audit trail of a user’s passage
through a system. Anti-passback can be pro-
grammed to reset after a specified time period.
ANTI-PASSBACK
TROUBLE
SUPERVISION
The SNAPP communications bus is the four wire connection
between the Chubb AFx™ panel and the application mod-
ules that make up a system. Serial Network Alarm Panel
Protocol is the ‘language’ that all Chubb AFx™ modules use
...this encrypted, fully supervised high speed protocol en-
sures rapid execution of all access/intrusion commands. The
wide variety of Chubb AFx™ application modules makes the
system flexible enough for centralized or distributed installa-
tions, or premises combining both concepts.
SNAPP
The Chubb AFx™ platform employs a modular de-
sign : the basic panel can function as a standalone
intrusion system but easily expands by adding
SNAPP application modules. Each module will add
a specific functionality such as additional points of
protection, access control or elevator control.
MODULES

10. 10System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119
The Feature Set of an AFx™ system determines the features and capacities available to system
users. The Feature Set of an AFx™ system is determined by a programmed value in the control
panel (represented by the first row in the table above). For example, an AFx™ system pro-
grammed with a Feature Set value of 1 would support a single panel system of up to 16 areas,
20 users, 30 authority levels and 50 schedules. The highest Feature Set a basic AFx™ control
panel can support is 3.
The Feature Expansion board is added to the AFx™ basic control to support Feature Sets 4 - 7 :
the FEB is also required to support access control (*Feature Sets below 4 are also supported
with the addition of the FEB—for example, a site with access control that requires no more than
20 users could be programmed to operate at Feature Set 1 to allow system users to log in with
only a four-digit Personal Identification Number).
Feature Sets 5 and above are typically larger sites involving multiple Chubb AFx™ panels con-
nected together to form one large system. Director Security Management Software is required
to configure and manage such systems on an ongoing basis. (Note : Director software can be
used for security management of any AFx™ sites, regardless of Feature Set value—see pages
32-44 for additional details).

The Chubb AFX™ is a highly flexible system that will suit virtually any building or site.
The two basic installation configuration styles are centralized and distributed. The following
examples are extreme illustrations of these styles. Most sites will follow one general style, but
incorporate elements of the other to suit an application’s unique characteristics.
Installation Configurations
12. 12System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119
The Exit 1 door contact is wired to a zone input on the Chubb AFx™ LCD keypad.
The Exit 2 door contact and showroom motion sensor are wired to the 8 zone input
point expander : only the four wire fully supervised SNAPP connection is required to
connect to the Chubb AFx™ control panel. The contact on Exit 3 is wired directly to
one of the eight inputs on the control because of its proximity to the main control
panel.
Intrusion-only systems are typically distributed, which means that the LCD keypads,
point expanders, and wireless module devices will be mounted fairly close to the de-
vices they control (door/window sensors, motion detectors, etc.)

Centralized Access Control Installation
The control panel and access modules are installed in a centrally-located utility room. RS 485
bus wire runs tend to be shorter, while module device wire runs are longer.
Advantages: Trouble shooting is easier as all devices are in one single location
Power management is easier as all devices are in one single location.
Disadvantages: More expensive to wire (individual wires have to be run from the utility
room to each sensor, reader, door strike or magnetic lock).

not take up any of the available 256 input points on the Chubb AFx™ system but are automati-
cally associated with their respective doors via connection to the door module : these are impor-
tant for detection of Door Forced and Door Held Open conditions. The LCD keypad module is re-
quired for local editing of users and system control. A second card reader could also be added to
each door for controlled exit purposes.

Distributed Access Control Installation
The control panel will typically be in a centrally located room, while the modules will be in-
stalled close to doors, windows, and other locations that are being controlled or protected.
RS 485 bus wire runs tend to be longer, while module device wire runs are shorter.
Advantages: Less expensive to wire because the RS 485 cable is run to the
modules and connections to the sensors, readers or door strikes are short.
Disadvantages: More difficult to trouble shoot as the devices are further apart.
Power management is more expensive as devices are scattered throughout the facility.

Hybrid Intrusion/Access Control Installation
Hybrid installations incorporate elements of both centralized and distributed systems, de-
pending on the unique characteristics of an application. Factors such as a premises’ con-
struction, the location and number of protective devices - even cosmetic considerations -
can influence the design of a Chubb AFx™ system. The flexibility of the Chubb AFx™ plat-
form supports virtually any combination of centralized and distributed module installation.

System Architecture
The AFx™ control panel is the heart of Chubb’s scalable and expandable inte-
grated Intrusion / Access platform.
Each AFx™ panel can function as a standalone intrusion system : should a
site’s requirements change, application modules are added to expand the sys-
tem’s capacities to add security devices, access control, elevator access control
and full system management capability where required.
Even installations that use the AFx™ solely for the purpose of intrusion detection will benefit from
the sophistication of its powerful microprocessor-based structure, which incorporates features gener-
ally associated with high-end commercial systems.

SMART / High-Security Communications / Printer Module
This module is an interface to upgrade sites using the Chubb SMART concentrator to
AFx™ system compatibility. It is capable of supporting up to 64 input points and 80
output points. It includes a high-security communications module for MK7 DVAC en-
crypted alarm reporting . Also onboard is a printer connection. Counts as three mod-
ules on an AFx™ system.
High-Security Communications Module
The high-security communications module uses DVACS communications to
send alarm and event information to the central monitoring facility. The communi-
cator is polled every 90 seconds by the central station and if the unit does not re-
spond during this poll it is an indication that disconnection or failure has occurred.
For additional information on DVACS see the Communications Guide (page 77).
Input Expansion Modules
Input expansion modules are used to add monitored security devices
(intrusion, panic, fire, etc ) to the Chubb AFX™ when system requirements ex-
ceed the 12-device capacity of the AFx™ main control panel. They also add out-
puts to the 2 base output points on the panel’s motherboard. All inputs are su-
perviseable with the included 2.2 kΩ resistors.
The expander without annunciation is used mainly to add monitored input points
(intrusion, fire or process control). The LED annunciator model is typically used
for two reasons: to provide visual feedback on the state of the system (the LEDs
can be configured to activate for virtually any system event, whether it relates to
that particular expander or not) or to provide additional output points.
The expansion modules are available in 8 and 16 input versions, both with and
without LED annunciation.

GProx II proximity access tokens provide convenient, reliable
access control operation without the wear and tear of card
technologies requiring physical contact. The cards provide a
read range of up to 6 inches and the key fob has a range of up
to 4.5 inches. Chubb-logoed badge reels (with belt clip) and
lanyards are also available for use with slot-punched cards.
Proximity card technology is currently the most popular access token
technology on the market. Proximity readers emit an electronic field that
excites components embedded in the access token itself—this excita-
tion results in the token generating a number that is ‘read’. The unique
number produced by this process acts as an identifier for the individual
carrying the token. Because there is no physical contact required be-
tween the reader and the token the longevity of proximity readers and
tokens is much greater than older friction-based technologies.
GProx II™ readers offer superior read range in a sealed, weatherproof enclosure. They are
available in black and grey, mullion and switchplate styles.
GProx II™ arming stations add a keypad to the reader design for enhanced security : these can
be programmed to require the use of a Personal Identification Number (PIN) in addition to the
presentation of an access token. This functionality can be associated with individual doors and to
a schedule to provide a greater level of security in specific areas or after hours. Users can also
enter their card or User ID/PIN through the keys to arm and disarm areas, unlock doors etc ac-
cording to their level of authority in the system.

MIFARE technology utilizes contactless smart cards to
which data can be written as well as read, providing multi-
ple applications on a single card. MIFARE technology’s
13.56MHz operating frequency provides fast, reliable, se-
cure communications with high data integrity. For access
control, MIFARE smart card systems provide the conven-
ience, long life, and low maintenance of proximity card sys-
tems with the added benefit of multiple applications.

Chubb MIFARE tokens have a large memory which may be used for up
to 16 applications. Applications can be read only or read/write.
• Each card has a unique serial number.
• Wireless transmission between the card and the reader is encrypted.
• Each application is separate and protected by a 48 bit key.
• Only the sector containing GProx II token information is read by
Chubb MIFARE readers.
Mutual authentication is provided between card and reader to ensure
that the card being presented is valid. High security ensures that cards
cannot be duplicated and data cannot be compromised.
The large memory of MIFARE technology cards support storage of user
biometrics such as fingerprints (single or multiple). This ensures that a
card is not loaned or shared among users. Cardholder privacy is pro-
tected because the biometric templates are kept on the card rather than
stored in a central database.
MIFARE readers produce a Wiegand output thus allowing MIFARE cards and readers to be retro-
fitted to any existing Wiegand based access control system. The arming station reader supports
AFx Card + PIN functionality as well as standard GProx II arming station commands. Chubb MI-
FARE readers are designed to read the token sector from the MIFARE cards shown below.
28. 28System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119
Biometric Readers
Fingerprint readers provide an additional level of security by requir-
ing a positive comparison between a stored mathematical template
and the user’s live print. When the comparison is positive, Weigand
information from the access token for that user is sent to the AFx™
access module for processing.
There are two versions:
• A 4000 template Weigand input model for use with already in-
stalled or separate readers (i.e. GProx II readers) : it can also be
operated in standalone mode that requires no access tokens
(supports 500 templates in this mode)
• A model with a built-in HID proximity reader : ideal for sites al-
ready using HID readers and cards.
Veri-admin software (included with reader) is used to enroll and
manage the users.
Hand Geometry readers take more than 90 measurements of the user’s
hand and compare the resulting information (size relationships between
palm, fingers, etc.) with a previously enrolled read of the hand. The LCD
display is used to enroll users locally : units may also be networked to
provide software management . The units support 512 users but may be
expanded to support more than 35,000.
Existent access readers may also be connected to the hand geometry
reader : information from the access token used with the reader will be
passed to the access controller if the hand geometry comparison is posi-
tive.
Three versions are available:
• Standard indoor model (shown)
• A rugged metal housed version for tough commercial environments
• A cold weather model designed to withstand harsh winter conditions

Elevator Control
Chubb AFx™ elevator controllers provide access control for up to 1,920 individual cabins (cabs) for
up to 120 floors per cab per Chubb AFx™ account. The Feature Expansion Board is required for
elevator access control.
There are two basic modules for elevator control : the elevator access module, housed in a small
cabinet (identical to the 2-door controller) which connects to the AFx™ SNAPP bus, and the relay
module, a separately powered board that has eight relays for interfacing with elevator control
equipment.
The 2-cab controller controls all relays for two elevator cabs. The first expansion cabinet will house
an isolator board for each cab : this board’s function is to isolate the “clean” data communications
hardware from the “noisy” elevator button hardware and relays. One isolator board is necessary for
each cab, no matter how many floors the cab will serve.
The available packages also include metal cabinets to house the modules and associated power
supplies. Isolator filters are used to protect the AFx™ from interference generated in the elevator
cables. Elevator control requires minimum Director Level 1 software (see pages 32-44) for
configuration and programming.

Suite Security
Modules
Each module supports up to eight users, has a panic function and provides a programmable
output for local use. Monitoring of the protected suites is accomplished through Director Level
1 software, which is required for set up and programming. For important notes regarding the use
of the suite security module please see page 38.
MAP Graphic Module
The MAP graphic annunciator allows you to illuminate any 16
of the 70 LEDs on board : these can be used to provide visual
annunciation of virtually any event on the AFx™ system. The
map is fully configurable and the provided display template can
be easily customized and printed. Ideal for applications where
local identification of areas, doors, input points etc is required
for on site or remote response personnel.
AFx™ suite security modules are designed to provide local
security to suite tenants : although they are connected to the
AFx™ control panel, the tenants will use each as if it were a
self-contained security system with two or eight zones
(depending on the model installed).

AFx™ wireless receiver modules add support for up to 32 wireless transmission devices : each is
learned into the receiver and is identified individually on the AFx™ system, both locally and in offsite
transmissions. Regular check-in signals verify each transmitter’s presence and operational status :
low battery conditions are also monitored via the AFx™. Both narrow-band and spread spectrum re-
ceivers support a wide variety of sensors including motion, glassbreak, smoke and panic devices.
For a list of supported transmitters see the AFx™ Quick Reference Guide.
Wireless Transmission
Narrow band wireless transmission operates
on a frequency of 319.5 mHz, with a typical
open field line-of-sight range of 500 feet. The
narrow band wireless receiver connects to the
SNAPP communications bus, further enhanc-
ing effective range. In addition to a compre-
hensive range of wireless sensors, a hand-
held keypad is also available—complete with
wall mount bracket—for local control of the
AFx™ system.
Narrow Band Wireless
Receiver / Transmitters
Spread Spectrum Wireless
Receiver / Transmitters
Spread spectrum wireless transmission uses a
shorter wavelength (900 mHz) and 10 times the
transmission power of traditional narrow band
technology to deliver open field line-of-sight
range of over two thousand feet, ideal for large or
challenging commercial environments. The
spread spectrum wireless receiver connects to
the SNAPP communications bus, further en-
hancing effective range. Indoor and outdoor re-
peaters are also available to extend transmission
range up to four miles open field line-of-sight.

Capacities and features of each level of Director software and upgrade / add-on paths
for each are shown on this simple chart.
Director and AFx Feature Set Support...…..….33
Director licensing is necessary to expand the AFx™ system beyond its basic function-
ality : this chart shows the Feature Sets supported by each level of Director software.
Upgrading Firmware & Software…………….…47
When upgrading AFx™ sites, it’s important to understand the relationship between
the firmware revision of AFx™ panels and the version of Director software installed.
33. 33System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119
The Feature Set chart on page 10 illustrates how the AFx system uses hardware expansion to
achieve its maximum capacities in terms of users, areas, doors, etc. : it’s also necessary to use
Director software for management of the system when multiple sites, multiple panels or any of
the capacities associated with Feature Set 5 or higher are required. The chart above shows Fea-
ture Set support provided by the three levels of Director software licensing.
Additional RAM expansion for each AFx panel in a system is needed only when the higher ca-
pacities are required - for example, if an application using Director Level 2 will have no sup-
ported sites with more than 4,000 users, it is unnecessary to add RAM expansion to any of the
panels. If one or more of the sites will have to support more than 4,000 users, the appropriate
RAM expansion will be required for the panels in those systems but unnecessary for the others.
In addition to expanded capacities, the higher levels of Director software provide additional fea-
tures such as networking capability, dynamic mapping / live camera views, and elevator / suite
security. The following pages discuss each level of Director licensing and the various features
they incorporate. To quickly determine whether a specific feature is supported by a level of Direc-
tor software, see the chart on page 45.

The Director Base software package is a single PC application designed to manage an AFx™
system consisting of one control panel (one site) with a maximum of 256 security devices (such as
door contacts or motion detectors), with support for up to 1,000 users and 16 doors of access con-
trol. A total of 24 application modules may be connected to a single AFx™ control panel. These
modules include LCD keypads, input point expanders, access control modules, high security com-
munications and map modules. The example shown below includes a multiple door controller
package containing four two-door access modules.
Base systems can be completely configured and managed using the LCD keypad, even for access
control applications. Director software is optional for such systems and may be added at any time
to enhance system management.
Base systems using Director software can be connected directly on site in order to diagnose the
system, troubleshoot it, and download or backup the user’s database. The software can also con-
nect remotely via modem or static IP connection. The software allows an authorized user to config-
ure the system and to remotely retrieve reports, system status and other information.

Director Server PC Director Workstation Director Workstation
Local or Wide Area Network Local or Wide Area Network
Networking Director allows more than one computer to use the Chubb AFx™ database so opera-
tors at multiple workstations can connect to AFx™ systems for programming,control and
status.The license key is connected to a USB port on the Director server PC (typically not the site’s
network server). Each of the Director workstations will have a GUI (Graphic User Interface)
installed during system setup which allows it to access and interact with the Director database.
Operators will have only the privileges associated with their Director login (independent from their
network privileges) which is controlled by the software administrator. Each workstation can also be
programmed with a set of permissions that will apply independent of an operator’s permissions.
Chubb AFx™ Base software supports two concurrent client workstations (GUIs) per software
installation : this means any two PCs with the Director Operator client installed can interact with the
server PC simultaneously. There is a timeout associated with each operator’s login that logs them
off after a specified period of inactivity in the application, ensuring other operators will eventually
gain access should others forget to log off.

36. 36System Design Guide July 2008-MKTG6119
MULTIPLE PANEL CONNECTIVITY
Multiple AFx™ panels can be connected together to go beyond the capabilities of the Base sys-
tem : (up to 30 panels per physical connection). Local users of the system will control only the ar-
eas and doors associated with each individual panel. For example:
• Modules connected to Panel 1 in the example shown above are assigned to the Office area
• Modules connected to Panel 2 in the example shown are assigned to the Warehouse area
• Local users will only be able to control Office areas/doors from Panel 1’s associated LCD
keypads (according to their assigned Authority Levels)
• Local users will only be able to control Warehouse areas/doors from Panel 2’s associated
LCD keypads (according to their assigned Authority Levels)
User, schedules and authorities are shared by the entire system : Director software is required to
manage these common elements and also provide an overview of the AFx™ system to operators.
This is important because it allows a software operator to relate to the system as a continuous se-
ries of areas and doors instead of physically separate panels and modules.
Up to 60 panels may be connected over three communications clients to function as a single inte-
grated intrusion/access system. As with the Base system, each individual panel can support up to
24 application modules. A Level 1 system can support up to 960 areas / 7,680 input points / 1,920
doors per account.

VISUAL DIRECTOR
Visual Director shows software operators critical event
and status information via full color animated icons on
maps of the Chubb AFx™-controlled premises. Maps in
all standard formats may be imported into Director and
configured in any one of up to fifteen customizable map
views. These views - accessible at the touch of a button
- can also contain live camera feeds via connection to a
Chubbview (Netvision) system. Operators can also
control the Chubb AFx™ directly from the map icons.
NOTE : support for NVe and March Networks R4 & R5
Series DVRs must be added via upgrade options shown
on page 43.
Visual Director also includes Photo Verification.
Each user of the Chubb AFx™ can have an asso-
ciated photograph stored in the Director database :
when users are granted access at designated
doors on an AFx™ site, the user’s photo will be
displayed on the Director PC with their name and
the date and time of access. Photos can be shown
singly or in groups of four or nine, and set to dis-
play for a specific time period or indefinitely.
32 ACCESS DOORS PER PANEL
Level 1 supports up to 32 access-controlled doors per each Chubb AFx™ panel (compared to 16
per panel with the Base Package) in single and multiple panel installations. Each door has In/Out
reader capability.
IMPORTANT: Any elevator cabs assigned to an AFx™ are considered to be access-controlled
doors and must be subtracted from the 32 available on each panel : for example, if an AFx™ panel
on a site is controlling floor access for six elevator cabs, the total number of doors that can be sup-
ported before another AFx™ panel is required is 26.

programmed with a set of permissions that will apply independent of an operator’s permissions.
Chubb AFx™ Level 1 supports up to ten concurrent client workstations (GUIs) per software
installation : this means up to ten PCs equipped with the Director Operator client can interact with
the server PC simultaneously. There is a timeout associated with each operator’s login that logs
them off after a specified period of inactivity in the application, ensuring other operators will eventu-
ally gain access should others forget to log off.
Communications clients are the components of Director software that control the process of
communication between the AFx™ database and the actual systems. Each client can be associ-
ated with one of three physical communications mediums (direct connection, dial-up modem or via
static Internet Protocol address). The different options can be used in any combination up to a
maximum of three simultaneous live communications clients. This flexibility allows whatever combi-
nation of local or remote connections will best suit a particular Director application.

AFx™ Level 1 has support for up to 10 accounts : different physical sites that
will each have their own shared set of users, authorities, areas etc.

SUITE SECURITY
ELEVATOR CONTROL
Elevator control restricts access to floors according to a user’s authority level. The elevator mod-
ule supports two cabs and can control access to a maximum of 124 floors per cab. When a user
presents an access token to the reader associated with a controlled cab and selects a floor, relays
on the relay module change state to allow the floor selection to pass to the elevator control circuitry
: if the authority level assigned to the user does not allow access to the floor in question, the relay
for that floor does not change state so the elevator control does not ‘see’ the button being pressed.
The elevator module monitors the elevator control’s outputs to indicate which floor was selected
after floor access was granted. A termination period can also be programmed to limit the amount of
time a user can select a floor after the access token is presented.

Director Level 1 Package
Each AFx™ panel can support up to 60 suite
security modules, each of which will act as a local
alarm for the suite it is located in. Groups of eight AFx™
users are assigned for use with each of the modules :
there are five predefined authority levels available exclu-
sively for suite privileges. Suite users may also have access/intrusion privileges for
other areas of an AFx™ system not devoted to suite security (i.e. parking garage
access, main lobby door access). Suite security modules are available in two and
eight-zone versions. Note: for every standard AFx™ SNAPP module used with a panel, the
number of suite security modules supported by the same panel decreases by five.
IMPORTANT NOTE: There is currently no built-in provision for suite security events to
communicate off-site : alarms may be annunciated both audibly and visually at any Director
software worksations connected to the suite security system. The events will be tagged with a
name identifying the specific suite system at which the events are occurring.
For suite security applications requiring off-site alarm communications, the suite security modules’
output capability allows for a programmed connection - requiring no wiring - to unused input points
on the AFx™ system : this provides off-site alarm communication via whatever medium the AFx™
system is using to transmit event conditions, whether by digital or high security communications.

UP TO 10,000 Users / 8,192 Event Buffer / 500 Authority Levels
Director™ Level 1 has built-in support for up to 4,000 users, compared to 1000 on the Base sys-
tem. A RAM upgrade is available to achieve the full 10,000 user capacity of a Level 1 system.
The added storage also increases the capacity of the AFx™’s time-and-date stamped event buffer
to 8,192 per panel and the number of available authority levels to 500. Each panel in a multiple
panel application that requires increased capacities will require the same expansion chip.

PHOTO-BADGING
Photo-badging adds full badge design / printing functionality to Director
software : it’s also available as an add-on license for Director Level 1
packages. For a detailed description of photo-badging see Page 41.
Director Level 2 can support up to 64,000 users, 1000 authority levels and 65,536
events in the on-board event buffer with the addition of RAM to each of the panels
that make up the system. Two RAM expansion chips are available : one increases
the capacity of the AFx™ to handle up to 20,000 users (and increases the event
buffer and authority level limit as well), the other raises the user capacity to 64,000.
A RAM expansion must be added to every panel in a multiple panel AFx™
application that requires the increased capacities.
DATABASE QUERY
Database Query adds the ability to extract raw tables of data manually from
the Chubb AFx™ database for use with other data manipulation programs
(such as Microsoft Access or Crystal Reports) – this is useful when a site
requires sophisticated reports beyond the capability of Director’s built-in re-
port generator (the extraction process requires a login to access the data).

key - which is required on the Director server during installation and operation - and the date on
the application components being installed. If the date on the software being installed is later than
the date on the USB license key (shown in Field 4 of the screen capture to the right), an
‘Application Out of Warranty’ message will appear and the installation will not continue.
The SSA product numbers shown below extend the initial 12-month warranty period by an addi-
tional year for each one sold : the SSA must be consistent with the level of Director software the
site is running (Base, Level 1 or Level 2). Below are two examples of how the SSA would apply to
existing sites:
Example 1 : A site is running a release of Director Version 4 which was installed in March 2004 :
the SSA expiration date is March 2005. The latest revision contains some features of interest to
the customer, but its release date is July 2005, so the SSA Expiration Date will not allow installa-
tion of the new revision.
Resolution : The purchase of one SSA at the appropriate level is required (Base, Level 1, or
Level 2) – this will add 12 months to the SSA Expiration Date and entitles the site to no-cost (for
software) upgrades or patches for Version 4 until March of 2006.
Example 2 : A site is running a release of Director Version 4 installed in August of 2002 : the SSA
expiration date is August 2003. The latest revision contains some features of interest to the cus-
tomer, but its release date was July 2005, so the SSA Expiration Date will not allow its installation
Resolution : Each SSA adds 12 months to the original SSA Expiration Date: in this instance, the
site will require two SSA agreements at the appropriate level of licensing. After activation, the SSA
expiration field will be August 2005, which will allow installation of the upgrade.
A few more notes on the SSA:
• Director sites are entitled to upgrades with no charge for software for 12 months after installa-
tion – the SSA coverage is only required after the first year.
• The SSA can be purchased at any time prior to or after Director installation, and in quantities.
• The SSA expiration date will never affect the ongoing operation of a Director installation : it is
only checked during installation of a newer revision or patch.
