Introduction
AC6901 is an adapter for connecting a PC or a tablet/mobile device to AC or
ACE platform amplifiers and nodes using wireless Bluetooth connection. The
AC6901 makes it possible to connect to and configure an amplifier or a node
conveniently within up to 10 m range without using cumbersome cabling
requiring a PC to be placed next to the configured device.
Features
AC6901 contains an internal rechargeable lithium-polymer battery. It should not
be exposed to excessive heat, vibration or mechanical shock.
AC6901 is automatically turned on when it is connected to the USB port of an
ACE family product, and turns automatically off when disconnected from the
USB port. The internal battery is automatically charged while connected.
AC family products do not provide supply voltage to their USB ports, thus
AC6901 uses it internal battery and needs to be turned on and off by pressing
the power button next to the USB connector. First connect AC6901 to the
device, then press the button to turn AC6901 on.
CATVisor Commander 2.9 or later is needed for USB support.
Establishing Bluetooth connection
AC6901 should be paired with the PC / tablet / phone using normal Bluetooth
device discovery. The PIN code needed for pairing is 6901.
AC6901 appears as "AC6901-X-YYYYYY" in the Bluetooth device list, with X
indicating AC6901 version and YYYYYY the end of its MAC address.
Leds and button
There are two leds next to the button visible through the transparent enclosure.
Power led (next to USB connector) blinks in red / green during startup and then:
•Green: power on, battery OK
•Yellow: power on, battery charging
•Red: power on, battery voltage low
•Dark: power off
Bluetooth led (next to power button):
•Blinking blue: Searching for Bluetooth connection
•Blue: Bluetooth connection OK
•White/blue flashes: Data transferred over Bluetooth
•Dark: power off
Pressing the power button next to USB connector turns battery power on/off.
First connect AC6901 to host, then press the button. The power button is not
needed when AC6901 is used with ACE family products.

Charging the internal battery
AC6901 internal battery is charged whenever +5V is fed to AC6901 USB port,
either via ACE family product providing this voltage, or external USB charger.
The charging time is typically 1 hour. During charging the power led is yellow.
When charging is completed the power led is green.
When the charging has been completed, it is recommended to disconnect
AC6901 from the power supply. It should not be left connected for several days.
Typical operation time with internal battery and continuous Bluetooth link activity
is 3 hours. If the connected amplifier / node / transponder has no external power
supply and its microcontroller is powered from AC6901, typical operation time is
reduced to 1 hour. Freezing temperatures will further reduce the operation time.
If AC6901 fails to turn on (i.e. leds stay dark) when the button is pressed, the
internal battery is empty and needs to be charged. If charging the AC6901 does
not help, the internal battery may have reached its end of life and needs to be
replaced by Teleste service.

Using AC6901 Bluetooth adapter
If you are using an ACE8, plug in AC6901 and it will power up immediately. This
is indicated by a green light and a blinking blue light.
You can do the pairing also without a ‘mother’ device by powering AC6901
using its internal battery. To do this, press the AC6901 button (shortly). The
lights will light up as indicated above.
Note 1: ACx devices do not provide supply voltage via USB. When connected to
these devices, AC6901 must be power from the internal battery.
Note 2: To shut down AC6901 when using the internal battery, click the button
again. Battery power will be shut down automatically after 5 minutes, if there is
no activity from Bluetooth to USB.
