When using the Lon RS485 network, ensure the Term. Switch
on the AK-SM is in the ‘ON’ position (enable internal resistor). Any repeaters must also have 120 Ohm resistor in place.
Finally, ensure that the last controller on the network run also
has its end of line on line resistor enabled.
For Lon TP78 communication - Level 4 cable general recommendation:
– Belden 7703NH, 22 AWG, 1 pair with screen – Belden 7704NH, 22 AWG, 2 pair with screen – Smartwire 106500, 22 AWG, 1 pair with screen
Wires with larger cross-section than AWG 22 is not recommended
Cable length A cable length must not exceed 1200 m (4000 foot). A repeater (Part # 084B2241 ) must be used for longer lengths.

2.3.1 Lon RS485 topology
The cable connection must be connected from controller to controller, and no branches are allowed on the cable. If the cable length exceeds 1200 m a repeater must be inserted. If the data communication cable runs through an electrically noisy environment which impairs the data signal, one or more repeaters must be added to stabilise the signal.
When configuring Lon devices on the control bus, the highest
device address that can be can be used is 127 (max. 120 controller in total).
Remember to use 120 Ohm terminators on the last filed bus controller device. Note also to enable (ON) the Term. Switch, located above each network connection point on the AK-SM 800A, this will enable the built in terminator(s) for each network point on the AK-SM 800A.
Conductors
he two wires are looped from device to device. There are no polarisation requirements. (On some controllers, the clamps are designated A and B. On others there is no designation. Otherwise the connections are identical.) If a screen is used, it must be connected to the system device and any repeaters. A screen must always be looped from device to device.

Mid network connection
This example shows the AK-SM 800A series RS485 version used in the middle of a network run. In this example ensure that both ends of the controller run are fitted with 120 Ohm terminators. Over the past several years Danfoss has offered versions of the AK-SC 255 and AK-SC 355 which has a LonWorks® option of TP78. As a physical layer of the LonWorks® protocol these older systems offered x5 network connection points. Due to the global phase out of the TP78 option by the OEM, Danfoss has made available a special order version of the AK-SM 880A (080Z4029), which will come pre-installed with a LonWorks® TP78 options card. This ‘special’ version of the AK-SM 880A is designed to support customers who wish to migrate from existing AK-SC 255 and AK­SC 355 and AK-SM 800 TP78 systems.
Note: this version of the AK-SM 880A is not intended or available in Europe and offers x4 TP 78 connection points.

2.4 First time startup
To establish basic settings, an initial wizard is presented upon first powering up your AK-SM 800A. This wizard appears only once upon first time power up from new (out of the box) or if the system database has been cleared (an option in the system configuration). The following screens are presented; 1/8 Licensing (review and acknowledge terms and conditions) 2/8 Language (set required primary unit language) 3/8 Setup Administrator (create highest level user who later can then create additional users.
Caution: Take note of user/password as Danfoss does not
have access to user profiles or passwords. Danfoss is not responsible for the management of user passwords. If the user/password is forgotten the ‘forgot password’ workflow will need to be applied).
4/8 Setup Date/Time/Format 5/8 Setup system units 6/8 Notification of connectors (take note of connector locations and what connectors are available) 7/8 Setup Network 8/8 Important software update notification. (To ensure optimum operation, security and the latest features ensure your AK-SM 800A is updated with the latest software. Follow on screen prompts or visit ak-sm800a.danfoss.com for the latest software packages. Also refer to chapter 4.3 for more information on how to update your AK-SM 800A.) After completion of the settings wizard the AK-SM 800A Series will request a reset, where settings will saved. Commissioning activities can now continue using Web wizards and control screens.
Local screen login
For security purposes, no system information or status is available on the AK-SM 800A until a valid username and password has been entered. To assist in the confirmation of inputting of credentials, use the ‘show’ check box – this will show each character as you input.
Forgot Credentials
This button can be used if you have forgotten your user name or password. Danfoss cannot access or recover any user name or password in the system, as these are stored in an encrypted format. If your log in credentials are forgotten you will need to enter new credentials, previous user credentials are not recoverable. Please note that it is expected that one administrator can always gain access to the system and thereby delete the original user profile of the user who has forgotten their credentials and create a new one, where the user would input a new password. If the administrator is not available or cannot perform this action, the reset password workflow will need to be initiated. Follow the on-screen prompts and press the ‘Reset password’ button, see section 3.1 for more details.
Note: For security purposes, resetting of the password requires specific unit information that is ONLY possible when in front of the local AK-SM 800A screen.

2.5 IP Configuration and suggested security
settings
The Configuration Comm screen allows important routing and IP configuration to be set. With correct settings you will be able to remotely connect to your AK-SM 800A series controller.
Use DHCP (On/Off)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a standard network protocol that dynamically distributes network configuration parameters, such as IP addresses. If you connect the AK-SM 800A controller to a valid DHCP server the controller will obtain an address automatically. The management (renewal, binding and lease) of the IP address is fully automatic. It is strongly recommended that DNS is used in conjunction with DHCP so to keep track of dynamic addressing.
Use IP address as backup if DHCP fails (Yes/No)
If a non-reliable DHCP service is suspected, you can insert a fixed IP address that will be used in the event of a DHCP failure. Under normal network conditions this feature would not normally be required.
Primary IP address
Your AK-SM 800A series controller is a so called ‘Primary’ when the rotary address switch (located behind keyboard cover) is set to 0. This automatically assigns the unit as a Primary and is used when operating with multiple AK-SM 800A units (host network)
Preferred Hostname
If DNS is set to YES then a preferred hostname line appears. Selecting YES to the preferred hostname will enable Primary node name line (see below). If DNS is set to No, the site name and unit name (site name-unit name) will be used by default. Note: Site Name and Unit name should be configured under the Configuration System screen.
Press to initialize
Use this function when a change to IP address or other IP related modification has occurred. An initialization will not physically res­set the AK-SM 800A
Press to reset unit
This function will physically cause the AK-SM 800A to reset, use this when configuring Primary/Secondary host network
Ethernet 0 / 1
This reflects if an active Cat5 ethernet connection is seen Eth(0) must be used for WAN/LAN communications
Internet (slider on/off)
Slide ON if remote communications is required via IP, then view options under this
Use DNS (On/Off)
Domain Name System- select to YES to enable this feature and take advantage of your networks naming service. When answering YES (and with DHCP set to NO), the preferred host name line appears together with Domain Server IP address. There are two lines for the domain server IP or DNS name. Note that if DHCP is set to yes, the domain server IP address lines are not visible.
Primary node name
Enter a name here, used to identify the AK-SM 800A controller on the router.
Host Network (Enabled / Disabled)
If your AK-SM 800A will be part of an interconnected host network of AK-SM 800A units, select ‘Enabled’ to this question. If there is only 1 AK-SM 800A controller then leave set as Disabled.
SM800A on network (1-10) – Enter how many units will be on host network.
Node to be used as (Primary / Secondary) – Select ‘Secondary’ for all units with rotary address switch set to 1 or above.
No of external Internet (1-3)
If your AK-SM 800A series controllers will be made accessible via an external IP address (i.e. on a 4G router/modem or INTERNET connection) please ensure this is set to at least 1. This will allow the insertion of an IP address that is the public facing address.
Note: the requirement to enable External Internet is ONLY applicable for a host network configuration (AK-SM 800A units that are interconnected via host network).
Type (IP/ Name) – Select IP for static addressing or Name if using DHCP
Internet IP / Name address – Enter IP or Name (based on above selection)
Web server port (user configurable)
Used to allow HTTPS traffic / support browser access to your AK­SM 800A controller.

Chapter 3: Navigation and use (Local screen)
3.1 Log in screen
For security purposes, no system information or status is available on the AK-SM 800A until a valid username and password has been entered. To assist in the confirmation of inputting of credentials, use the ‘show’ check box – this will show each character as you input.
Forgot Credentials
This button can be used if you have forgotten your user name or password. Danfoss cannot access or recover any user name or
password in the system, as these are stored in an encrypted format. If your log in credentials are forgotten you will need to enter new credentials, previous user credentials are not recoverable.
Please note that it is expected that one administrator can always gain access to the system and thereby delete the original user profile of the user who has forgotten their credentials and create a new one, where the user would input a new password. If the administrator is not available or cannot perform this action, the reset password workflow will need to be initiated. Follow the on­screen prompts following ‘Reset password’ button.
Note: For security purposes, resetting of the password requires specific unit information that is ONLY possible when in front of the local AK-SM 800A screen.
Note: For the North American region, Danfoss Enterprise Services (DES) can be called to initiate a password reset. The phone number will be shown in the reset popup window, as shown below.
Depending on the AK-SM 800A region (country) configuration, the initial contact point may differ. In essence, your first action is to contact Danfoss Technical support for your region. Upon receipt of your request to reset a password, Danfoss Technical support will raise a support ticket capturing relevant details and ultimately will provide a one off, time restricted (16 hours) user/password so entry can be established. Upon using this code to gain access to the AK-SM 800A you must update your user credentials with a new password.

4.3 Utilities – Software update
Introduction
Like many other modern electronic devices, it is important that you maintain your AK-SM 800A with up to date software. Danfoss has a policy of continued improvement and enhancement and will regularly offer updates to your system. These updates may include bug fixes, new enhancements and important updates for security vulnerabilities. Updates can be categorized as ‘recommended’ or ‘mandatory’, with supporting documentation describing the categorization. The following section describes the Software Upgrade feature, found in utilities. Use this feature to remotely update your AK-SM 800A series controller.
Important: To download the latest software package for your
AK-SM 800A series controller, visit www.ak-sm800a.danfoss.com
Operational scope and Important notes:
Once connected to your AK-SM 800A series controller you will have access to the Utilities App. The Software Upgrade function is currently designed for single SM800A units only. For example, if you have a host network of multiple units, ensure you connect to the actual unit (IP address) that you intended to update. To update other units on the host network, be sure to log into that units unique IP address and follow the same workflow.
Local Stored File
This method assumes you have previously downloaded a software package from www.sm800a.danfoss.com and this package is located on the device you are using to access your AK-SM 800A / SvB5.
1. Click on the Local Stored File option and select the software package via the ‘Choose File’ button. The file type is SPK (software Package)
2. Press the Upgrade SM800A button to initiate the package download to the SM800A
3. After the package has been downloaded and checked for integrity, press the install button to execute the update. Note: During the update process, your AK-SM 800A will reset, this will temporarily disconnect your connection. Press the browser refresh to reconnect after ~3 minutes.
4. An upgrade Log will appear, with the final status ‘Software upgrade SUCCESSFUL!’, press the Home button to get back to the Utilities.
The software packages available for your AK-SM 800A have unique assigned ‘digital signatures’, this signature is then validated by the AK-SM 800A to ensure the file has not be altered or tampered with. Any software package that is modified will be rejected by the AK­SM 800A and update will not be possible.
Important: Whilst upgrading your system, power must not be interrupted at any time during the update process. Any power loss during the update procedure may cause permanent damage or corruption to your AK-SM 800A series controller.
Important: In host network applications (multiple interconnected AK-SM 800A units) it is required that ALL units have the same software installed. Failure to do so may result in unexpected behavior and may affect control and monitoring of your store.
Utilities - Software update function
The software update utility offers two methods of
updating, Local Stored File and Web Connectivity (note, in addition to using the Utilities, any of the USB ports on your AK-SM 800A can also be used to update software via a flash memory stick).

User Guide | AK-System Manager, AK-SM 800A series
Web Connectivity
This method assumes you have connected to your AK-SM 800A via a device that has access to the Internet. Selecting this option will use your Internet connection to retrieve the latest AK-SM 800A software package (from secure Danfoss software server) and with the live browser connection to the AK-SM 800A unit, will update software. Follow the screen prompts to perform a software update via a web connected device. (Note: At this time Apple® based platfrom(s) do not support the web connectivity function, if using an Apple® device, use the Local stored file option described above)
Utilities- Operating System (Danux)
This function follows the same principle as described above for software update, but is supporting the updating of the System Managers operating system (OS). Your AK-SM 800A utilizes a Linux based distribution, specifically for Danfoss and like all software systems, updates may be required for feature or security reasons.
Utilities- Software Rollback
The Software Rollback function is designed to support the use case where the operator wishes to revert to the last (previous) version of AK-SM 800A software. The last/previously installed AK­SM 800A software package (firmware, EDF’s, HTML..) will be re­installed and your AK-SM 800A will run normally with this version of software package.
Utilities- EDF Update
EDF files are digital files that represent actual hardware/control products connected to your AK-SM 800A. When connecting devices to the AK-SM 800A it is required to have the correct EDF file to support that device, model, type and software version. As part of ongoing operations, it will likely be needed to update the EDF files or library of EDF files as new products or software variants enter the market. Typically, each time Danfoss issues new AK-SM 800A software update it will include the latest EDF files. However, during software release cycles it may be required to update individual or a group of EDF files that did not come or were not available at time, in this instance you can update the library of EDF files in your AK-SM 800A. Using the same principles as seen in software updates, you have a section of local stored file or Web connectivity.
Utilities - Graphic Editor
Using the Graphic Utility
The graphic utility allows custom graphics to be viewed at the local AK-SM 800A display or when communicating via Web. These graphics must be built and loaded in the controls on a host network.
Basic operation
This utility will only function on controls that are programmed and communicating. The host network must be operational for data from all controls to be retrieved into the Graphic utility. Once graphics are built the files are transmitted to all controls. Local graphics will only be applicable to match the unit communication address number.
The local SM800A graphics screen can only display data points programmed on this specific control. The Web graphics will display data points programmed on any SM800A on the host network. The initial files, Jpeg and PNG, have size requirements that must be adhered to. The graphics files are not imbedded in the database when exported or imported.
The DPJ file, project file, should be stored in a location allowing for future access. You can modify overlaying points at any time by opening the graphic utility, but the original Jpeg or PNG is not available.
The AK-SM 800A browser (using Google Chrome) will support a total of 5 web graphic views supporting custom Jpeg or PNG drawings, and 5 custom PNG views for each local AK-SM 800A unit. In addition to these graphical drawing the system parameters are mapped to display current sensor readings and status of digital inputs and relays. This may serve as an easy means to display data on the local and web screens. If no graphic is loaded the screen will be blank. If no graphic is loaded for the web application the tab for “View Graphics” is not available.
Select Graphic Editor from Utility menu.
To access EDF packages manually (when using the local stored file option), use the following link ak-sm800a.danfoss.com.
Note: To ensure the integrity of the AK-SM 800A only approved, digitally singed software packages will be allowed to be installed in the AK-SM 800A. Be sure that the tool chain you are using (i.e. MCX Shape) has the ability to export digitally signed files. Available EDF packages will have the format of ‘SM800A_EDF_ YYYYMMDD.epk
Utilities- Export Database
This utility allows for the export of the AK-SM 800A database. When initiated, the database will download to your browser download folder. The file will have a YYYYMMDD format with file format .dpk
Utilities- Import Database
This utility allows the user to select a compatible database file, and then import. The import procedure is done in a simple two step process. Step one is to download the selected database file to the AK-SM 800A, a file security check is performed, and the file is uncompressed. The next step is the actual installation, where the unit will reset.

User Guide | AK-System Manager, AK-SM 800A series
Prior to starting a build, these basic size requirements must be adhered to per the pop up screen shown JPEG or PNG for web graphics: < 1 MB PNG for local graphics: 800x450 pixels and 8 or 24 bit (no alpha channel).
On initial entry into the graphic utility all data points are automatically retrieved for overlaying
Selection of drawing
Step 1: Import the Jpeg or PNG file to be used for both web
graphics and SM 800A graphics.
Select “Manage graphics” and using pop-up window select number of drawings to be used for Web (up to 5) and number of drawings to be used for SM 800A (up to 5 per control). Use the browse option to select the Jpeg or PNG drawings to import. The SM800A PNG will be specific to the unit as indicated below Ie; Unit 0. The SM800A graphics will need to be selected for the other controls on the host network by first selecting another control ie; Unit 1 followed by selecting/importing the PNG files. When all drawings have been imported select “Save” to continue.
Step 2: Open the datapoints that will be overlaid. The imported drawings will be displayed one at a time by the selection of either the “Browser View” or “SM Local Screen”. When using the local screen option the drawings will be specific to the SM800A unit number. See below
Using the data tree on left select the data type ie; Analog sensor, Digital input, etc. Select the IP addresses for the SM 800A’s to drag and drop the point on overlay. For the SM Local Screen graphics there will be only one IP address as you can only select points for that control.
Step 3: Aligning layout Any datapoint overlaid can be individually setup. Once the datapoint is placed on the drawing, and highlighted blue, a doubleclick of the left mouse button will display a pop up. This allows for the datapoint to be displayed in different formats. When the data point is highlighted blue the arrow keys on keyboard can now move the point for alignment.
Step 4: Loading the files in controls. With datapoint overlay complete the package must be transmitted to the controls. The “Save” button will transmit all the files to each controller in the host network. A pop up window details the download status.
When the download is complete a pop up window notifies that the units must be reset for the new graphics to be implemented.

Step 5: Import and export the graphic package All the files used to build graphics are stored in a xxx.dpj file When selecting “export” a pop up asks for file name and the complete graphic package will placed in the download folded. Ensure the naming identifies the store.
When selecting “Import” a pop up asks for file to be loaded to all controllers. This file must be specific to the store or data points will not be will be incorrectly labeled.
Utilities – Cleared Alarm Log
This utility presents a visual list of ALL previously cleared alarms from the AK-SM 800A. The cleared alarm log screen also allows the download of the units cleared alarms in .CSV file for easy sorting Note: Clearing the Alarm Log via the Alarm->Service screen does NOT delete this list. The cleared alarm log remains active and will continue to append to the list as alarms clear.
Utilities- Browser Certificate
Browser certificate management tool
Communication with the system manager via web interface is encrypted when (as default) HTTPS is enabled. The AK-SM800A uses a self-signed certificate (SSC) and whilst the connection is secure, your web browser will likely mark the connection as not trusted. To facilitate a trusted connection between your web browser and the AK-SM800A, the SM800A browser certificate must be signed by an authority known to the browser.
The browser certificate feature under the Utilities section is a tool intended for customer use and allows the creation of a CRS (Certificate Signing Request) allowing the customer to self-sign or obtain a Certificate Authority (CA) signed certificate. Once signed, the certificate is uploaded back to the SM800A - thus creating a root of trust between SM800A and browser.
Key notes:
• When the generate request is made, a new private key with 2048 bits is created using RSA
• The hash function uses 256 bits
• The certificate will expire after 365 days
The following procedure can be followed for the browser certificate management tool, where a Certificate Signing Request (CSR) will be initiated, resulting in a configuration file containing a new private key with 2048 bit RSA encryption.
1. Navigate to the Utilities section of the SvB5 and select browser
certificate
2. The info screen will be shown
3. Navigate to the ‘Generate’ screen and fill in the following
information
4. Country
5. Domain
6. IP Address
7. Organization
8. Press the generate button which will output a csr file
9. This crs file then must be signed by a trusted authority, usually
via the following options
10. The user pays an internationally trusted CA (e.g. VeriSign, DigiCert) to sign the certificate. In this case the browser already has the root and intermediate certificate installed.
11. The user acts as a certificate authority to sign the CSR, installs root and intermediate certificates in user browser
12. Once the CSR is signed the user uploads the file through the web interface (Upload menu). The system manager first checks if the uploaded certificate is valid and ensures that a matching <domain>.key file exists. Finally, it runs a test to check if the uploaded certificate matches the private key (<domain>.key) that was created along with CSR. If the test passed, the current certificate is replaced, else the changes are rolled back and an error is returned. If the update was successful a summary of the new certificate is sent back as response.
The image below is a graphical representation of this workflow.

4.11 AK-SM 800A Host Network Configuration
The following section describes how to configure your AK-SM 800A to facilitate a host network. The AK-SM 800A host network can support up to a max of 10 interconnected AK-SM 800A units. The practice of interconnecting on a host network allows for support of larger applications or to separate discrete control applications onto dedicated AK-SM 800A units. For example, HVAC and Refrigeration control could be done via dedicated AK-SM 800A units. The host network requires an IP Ethernet connection to each AK-SM 800A unit. Once configured all AK-SM 800A units can be viewed in a consolidated format via a web browser.
Note: Ensure a common user / password is applied to all units in the host network. A consolidation view is only available via SvB5, not local screens.
Primary device configuration
Make sure you have suitable fixed IP or DHCP addresses for each of your AK-SM 800A units you wish to deploy on the host network. Also ensure all Ethernet cables are connected.
Make sure the rotary address switch (located behind cover plate) is set to 0 (Zero), which will define your AK-SM 800A as the Primary node on the host network.
Navigate to the Configuration/Comm screen and check your unit has a valid Primary IP address. Set the ‘Host Network’ question to Enabled. Enter the number of System Manager units you intend to have on the host network.
After all changes are complete reset the Primary AK-SM 800A unit.
4.12 Secondary device configuration
Make sure the rotary address switch (located behind cover plate) is set to the appropriate number. For example, setting the switch to 1, will define the unit as a Secondary device address 1. All units in the host network must have unique host network addresses (address 0 is always Primary).
Once you have set the rotary address switch, reset the unit and allow the AK-SM 800A to boot up. Navigate to the Configuration/ Comm screen and check your unit shows the Primary IP address.
Set the ‘Host Network’ slider to Enabled. Enter the number of System Manager units you intend to have on the host network (matching what you have already set in the Primary unit)
Make sure the Secondary unit has a valid IP address.
