1 This document

This document contains all the information which is needed when installing the Apollo. The
details and recommendations will be described in the chapters below.

1.1 Apollo Smart cabinet security controller

Apollo in combination with iProtect (Security Management System) offers you a complete solution for monitoring the equipment of your critical locations/infrastructure. Think of Energy, Water, Data-centers, Telecom and other technical unmanned locations.
Because the locations are unmanned, access control, alarm monitoring and environment conditions becomes very important. The Apollo can inter alia monitor the temperature, humidity and air flow but is also capable of smoke-, intrusion- and water detection in the cabinet. This monitoring is essential to increase the lifetime and reliability of the system and helps preventing malfunctioning, damage and reduces operational costs.
The operator can fully control the cabinet remotely using iProtect™.
iProtect is extremely suitable for monitoring a large amount of buildings, areas and cabinets.
However, in case iProtect will not be leading for monitoring the cabinet, the Apollo supports SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).

2 General

The Apollo designed for a quick and easy installation. Nevertheless, we strongly recommend that the technicians who installing the Apollo are trained and familiar with the product.

5 Smart cabinet security: System setup

5.1 Sockets and port overview

The following network sockets are used when connecting an Apollo into the network, communicating with iProtect™ and a SNMP Management server:

Remark! Testing the (Ethernet) connection by using Ping is necessary when commissioning the hardware.

6 Apollo Smart cabinet security

The ApolloN is an powerful controller with a multicore processor, a secure bootloader, and a Linux Operating System.

Warning! Connecting peripherals to the Apollo should be performed carefully. Almost all ports of the Apollo feature 12V and 24V sockets. When not connecting peripherals on a appropriate way to the Apollo, it can cause irreparable damage to the peripherals. Read also the well-made labels on the wiring through and adjust the colors of the cables to the correct section. On the labels is shown precisely what port the cable must be plugged.
