CSL Miniair is not bad little device for upgrading older panels & bells only jobs to app style system. Remote Arm/Disarm is useful.

Had a issue where i couldn't connect to the Installer App but CSL changed all the settings for me No Problem.

Can connect through Digimodem via Dialcapture (Contact ID Only) Set up your zones to display in the App, You can also connect via General Alarm Input (Bell Trigg) Both methods need a SET output going to SET on Miniair this shows device Armed Disarmed Status on the App.

 

The Keyswitch output only supports panels with a momentary keyswitch input, however most older panels require latching like with the Galaxy i got sent from Pillar to post but found the solution even CSL have adopted this now and ordered the relays to trial. 

 

Anyone wanting to set up a miniair on a panel using a NC zone as a keyswitch, You are going to need a Bentley Toggle Relay model AT 223 & Two 10K resistor's, 
1. Wire one leg of your resistor from 12v to input 1 then put the other leg from 12v to Input 2 ensure they are not touching
2. Then fit Jumpers links on J1 & J2
3. Connect orange OUT wire from miniair to IP1 on relay
4 Power Relay from Aux

This set up will work for dial capture or just using the general alarm

When the relay receives a negative applied pulse from miniair it goes open it then stays in that state until pulse is replied closing input thus setting and unsettling the alarm via the app

 

Hope you find this little review use full

it is proper little

So... do you buy direct from CSL, no monitoring co. involved?

 

Then monthly app fee to CSL direct?

 

Just realised this section isn't strictly trade only; price would be of interest I'm sure, even to those not intending on using it.

 

I'm guessing it comes with a £1.99 antenna rather than the usual big CSL jobbie?

 

Thanks for the review though - esp. the relay.

Looks tiny for 1kg....

Trying to remember who the OEM is for these modules.  I think these guys re-brand it too.

its an eastern European manufacturer but i forget too

can it only do contact id, ie no sia 3?

m2mservices Sofia?

 

Ah, yes. That was it.

You order them through your ARC Same price as a Digiair, You may be able to order via CSL for App connection Only not sure, Yeah only Supports Contact ID at the moment as far as i am aware, Or can just wire it via bell trigg input. This shows up as General Alarm

 

Yes comes with standard stick on antenna
