Basics:
User names and codes for logging into security sys-
tems should be known only by the legal owners and
never given out to unauthorised parties.
If you have to pass this information on via email,
please take care to send the user name and code in
two separate emails.
User names and codes should be changed regularly.
Standards
User names must be at least eight characters long.
They should ideally contain characters from at least
three of the following categories: uppercase letters,
lowercase letters, special characters, and numbers.
User names should never contain your own name, the
name of a family member, your pet, your best friend or
your favourite celebrity, or your hobby or date of birth.
Avoid using user names and codes that you use on
other websites or that could be easily guessed by oth-
ers.
Your user name should not be able to be found in a
dictionary and should never be a product name.
It should not be a conventional series of characters, a
repeated pattern or a keyboard pattern, such as
asdfgh or 1234abcd.
You should avoid only using numbers at the end of
your user name or using one of the more typical spe-
cial characters (! ? #) at the beginning or end to com-
pensate for an otherwise simple user name.
User names and codes should be changed at least
every 180 days.
New user names and codes should not be identical to
any of the three combinations used before them.
New user names and codes should differ from user
names and codes that have been used before by at
least two characters.
Macros and scripts should not be used to input user
names and codes.
Power supply
To prevent a fire risk or risk of electric shock, do not
expose the alarm panel or the components to rain or
other sources of moisture.
Do not commission the device near bathtubs, swim-
ming pools or areas where water is splashed around.
Do not alter the device.
Discontinue use of damaged devices or accessories.
Using the device for purposes other than those de-
scribed may damage this product and may also lead
to hazards such as short circuits, fire or electric
shock.
Note
Connection to the public electrical grid is subject
to your country’s specific regulations.
Please seek information on these regulations be-
fore connecting the product to the public grid.
If the device is brought into a warm environment from
a cold environment, condensation may form on the
inside of the device. In this case, wait about an hour
before commissioning the device.
Disconnect the device from the power supply before
carrying out maintenance or installation work.
Danger
Alterations or modifications to the device invali-
date the guarantee.
Danger
The alarm panel is supplied power via an inte-
grated power supply unit.
The power supply unitis connected to the build-
ing’s 230 V AC grid via a separately secured line.
Connection to the building’s grid is subject to the
country’s specific regulations.
The backup power supply is ensured through an
internal battery.
Always replace fuses with fuses of the same type,
never higher.
Note
We recommend attaching a ferrite to the 230 V
power supply line.
e.g. Ferrit Würth 742 711 32S or 742 715 3
This prevents any potential malfunction of the
alarm panel should electromagnetic interferences
occur that may be permissible in accordance with
the EMC Directive, but which are nevertheless
very strong.
Danger
Mount the device safely to a dry point in the build-
ing.
Ensure there is sufficient ventilation for the alarm
panel.
Do not expose the alarm panel to temperatures
below 0°C or higher than 50°C.
The alarm panel is designed for indoor use
only.
The maximum humidity must not exceed 90%
(non-condensing).
Ensure that no metal objects can be inserted into
the alarm panel from the outside.
Disconnect the alarm panel from the power supply
before any work is carried out on the device.
On alarm panels in general
Incorrect or unclean installation work may lead to
erroneous interpretation of signals and therefore
false alarms.

Safety information
10
The operator is liable for any costs incurred for in-
volving rescue services such as the fire brigade or
police.
For this reason, read these instructions carefully
and ensure that lines and components used are
labelled precisely when the system is installed.
Wireless operation
Note
No wireless licence is required for Secvest and its
components.
The send/receive properties could be affected by
other signals (e.g. DECT telephones).
The wireless devices in this system have been
tested by an independently accredited laboratory
for RED Directive 2014/53/EU or for R&TTE certi-
fication.
Mounting location of the alarm panel
Note
The alarm panel should be positioned in a safe
place out of sight of possible intruders and easily
accessible to the operator.
The alarm panel should be mounted on a flat sur-
face in order to ensure that the back of the device
cannot be tampered with when the alarm panel is
mounted.
The alarm panel should be mounted at a conven-
ient height (between 1.5 and 2 m).
Note
If small children are present, the alarm panel
should be mounted out of their reach.
Note
Position the alarm panel so that signal tones can
be heard even outside of the area being moni-
tored.
The alarm panel should be positioned within a
monitored zone so that an unauthorised person
would have to enter a monitored area first before
gaining access to the panel when it is armed.
The alarm panel should be mounted near a socket
or power supply.
If the telephone dialler is used, the alarm panel
must be connected to a telephone connection.
The alarm panel should be mounted at least 1 me-
tre away from metal objects (e.g. mirrors or radia-
tors).
Processing priority
Note
If several detectors are activated at the same time,
the alarm control panel always processes panic
zones (panic transmitters) and normal alarms (bur-
glar alarms) first, followed by fire zones (smoke
alarm devices) and then followed by all other zone
types (alarm types)
The alarm control panel always processesalarms
ahead of warnings (fault messages).

If you cannot go into installation mode, the alarm panel will sound a tampering alarm when you open the hous-
ing.
2. Open the housing. Disconnect the entire power supply (mains voltage and batteries).
Note:
This procedure will not work if the tamper switch on the cover is closed.
3rd Identify the reset code PIN on the motherboard (see illustration above).
4. Shortly close both of the reset code PINs. Use a screwdriver or jumper to do so. Leave the short circuit until step 6.
5. Reconnect the mains voltage. After a short pause, the system will start. The alarm panel will now delete all user in-
formation and will start with the reallocation of your new installer code and administrator code (like in the start wizard).
6. Remove the short circuit on the reset code PINs.
7. Reconnect to the battery.
8. Close the alarm panel cover and therefore also the tamper switch.

Active intrusion protection
Even an attempt to break in is reported. This can be done
using alarm components that not only combine state-of-
the-art wireless technology with effective mechanical in-
trusion protection (mechatronic detectors), but also moni-
tor attempts to open a door or window using a lever via
innovative magnetic field sensors.
Arming, disarming
"Activation" of the alarm panel –the panel triggers an
alarm if an intrusion is detected (e.g. a door is opened);
"deactivation" of the alarm panel –the panel does not
trigger an alarm if an intrusion occurs. Danger detectors
are programmed differently: if smoke is detected, for ex-
ample, an alarm is triggered even if the alarm panel is
disarmed.
Alarm system
Common term for a burglar alarm system or danger
alarm system.
Alarm type
Alarm systems may have the following alarm types: inter-
nal, local, external or silent.
Sounder
Device that sends an alarm message acoustically (siren)
or visually (strobe). Even diallers are sounders.
Alarm sensor
Device that sends a message to the alarm panel when a
certain event occurs (e.g. movement, glass breakage, vi-
brations).
Alarm panel
The switching panel of the entire alarm system, which
processes all information, forwards it and responds as
necessary.
Alarm zone
A detector (wireless) or detector group (wired) is moni-
tored via each zone and can be programmed separately.
APN
Access Point Name
also “access point”, is the name of the gateway be-
tween a backbone of a mobile wireless network (e.g.
GPRS,3G or 4G) and an external packet-based data
network, usually the public internet.
ATS
Alarm transmission system

Introduction
16
Perimeter protection
All points of access to the premises are monitored, in-
cluding house doors, terrace doors, cellar doors, sky-
lights and all windows. Usually magnetic contacts, glass
breakage detectors and wireless window/door locks are
used. The building’s occupants can still move around
freely within the building when the alarm system is armed
internally.
Outdoor siren
Sounder for outdoor use, usually designed as a combina-
tion sounder (siren + strobe).
End of line (EOL)
End point of the line system, end point of access to tele-
phone network.
The line end point or "building distribution for telephone
lines" is the end of the distribution cable for the consumer
connection line within the telephone network.
User
Different users of the alarm system (e.g. owners, tenants)
can be assigned separate rights and user codes.
User guidance
Electronically guided help for operating the alarm panel.
Motion detectors
Detector used to identify people by thermal movement
(PIR), ultrasound (US) or microwave/radar (MW).
Bidirectional 2-way wireless (2WAY)
Unidirectional: components (e.g. remote control) and
control modules only transmit commands to the alarm
panel. Bidirectional: components can both receive the
feedback from the alarm panel and evaluate it (e.g. via
LED displays).
BS8243
British standard BS8243 describes a set of methods for
reducing false alarms generated by intruder and hold up
alarm systems.
Chip key/proximity keyfob
Electronic "key" for quick access to the building without
code entry.
CLIP
Calling Line Identification Presentation
Coding of wireless signals
Ensures secure transmission of signals without manipula-
tion or tampering between the alarm panel and its com-
ponents.
Contact ID, CID
Protocol for transmitting data to an ARC/ESCC.
DD243
British requirement for sequential alarm confirmation.
DHCP
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a
communications protocol in computer technology. It facili-
tates the assignment of the network configuration to cli-
ents through a server.
DHCP makes it possible to automatically integrate a
computer into an existing network without having to con-
figure it manually. The client usually only has to be set to
obtain the IP address automatically. When the computer
starts on the network, it is automatically assigned an IP
address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS server by the
DHCP server. Without DHCP some additional settings
are required depending on the network to which the com-
puter is connecting.
Display
Display field on the alarm panel for operating and config-
uring the panel.
DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is one of the most im-
portant services in many IP-based networks. Its main
task is to respond to name conversion requests.
The DNS works like a telephone directory enquiries cen-
tre. The user knows the domain (the "friendly" computer
name on the IP network), such as "example.org". The
user sends this domain as the query. The URL is then
converted by the DNS into the associated IP address (the
"connection number" on the IP network), e.g. an IPv4 ad-
dress in form 192.168.2.21 and directs it to the correct
computer.

refers to UTC. The majority of electronic devices with
time and date also continue to use the term GMT. When
setting the correct time zone for the user location, the in-
put/selection is often made by entering the number of
hours by which the local time is ahead of (+) or behind (-)
the standard time (GMT or UTC).
GPRS
General Packet Radio Service, shortened to GPRS,
is the term used to refer to the packet-based ser-
vices for transferring data in GSMnetworks.
GSM
Global System for Mobile Communications (previously
Groupe Spéciale Mobile), a standard for fully digital wire-
less mobile networks, mainly used for telephony but also
for line and packet-based data transmission and short
text messages (SMS).
Strictly speaking this is the technologies of the second
generation.
However, it is also used as a generic term for all the gen-
erations, 2G=GSM, 3G=UMTS, 4G=LTE.
GUI
Graphical use interface, the display on the alarm panel
used to program and operate the alarm panel via menu
keys
HTTPS
HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, a communications
protocol on the web, used to transfer data securely.
HTTPS is used online to establish confidentiality and in-
tegrity in communications between web server and web
browsers (clients). This is achieved through encryption
and authentication.
Without encryption, data transmitted over the internet can
be read as plain text by anyone who has access to the
corresponding network.
IAD

unique 15-digit serial number that can be used to
uniquely identify each wireless mobile end device.
IMSI
International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI), used in
wireless mobile networks to uniquely identify network
subscribers (internal subscriber identification). In addition
to other data, the IMSI is saved on a special chip card
known as a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module). The IMSI
number is uniquely assigned worldwide to each customer
by the wireless mobile network operators. The IMSI has
nothing to do with the telephone number assigned to the
SIM card.
Indoor sounder
Signal generator for indoor use, visual/acoustic sounder
(in addition to outdoor sirens)
Indoor siren
Sounder for indoor use, usually a purely acoustic
sounder (in addition to outdoor sirens).

do not sound.
Intuitive operation
Easy operation of a device using a menu that is logical
from the point of view of the user.

Introduction

IP
Internet Protocol, a network protocol widely used in com-
puter networks.
IP mobile
Synonym for 4G (LTE) and 2G (GPRS) IP-based trans-
mission
Jamming
Interference that makes normal reception of wireless
emissions of electromagnetic waves difficult or impossi-
ble. The source of interference sends out energy in the
form of electromagnetic waves, just like the instruments
affected by the interference, which overlap the original
waves either partially or completely.
Combination sounder
Combined sounder, e.g. siren (acoustic signal) + strobe
(visual signal).
Communication options
Used to transmit alarm notifications using additional
paths, e.g. wirelessly (wireless mobile module) for
voice/text messages or digital protocols.
Components
See system components
Receiving centre
See ARC
Level 1–4
See access level 1-4
Line
Another term for zone, mainly used in wired areas.
Local alarm
(Alarm type)
If this alarm is triggered the sounders indoors and out-
doors sound (outdoors the acoustic alarm (siren) must
stop after 3 minutes if in Germany, but the visual alarm
(strobe) can remain on).
LTE
Long Term Evolution (LTE for short, also 3.9G) is the
name given to the third generation wireless mobile
standard. An extension is called LTE-Advanced, or
4G, it is backwards compatible with LTE in the Next
Generation Mobile Networks (NGMN) project. For mar-
keting reasons, LTE is already advertised as 4G and
LTE-Advanced as 4G+, which, technically speaking, is
not correct.
With up to 300 megabits per second, depending on the
reception status, significantly higher download speeds
are possible than with older standards.
For this, LTE wireless mobile providers exclusively use
the UHF frequency band (also known as the decimetre
waveband) for their frequency range. Within this, sev-
eral frequencies are used, varying regionally in the
central to upper UFH range from approx. 700 to 2600
Megahertz.
The basic schema of the Universal Mobile Telecom-
munications Systems (UMTS, 3G) is retained for LTE
(3.9G). This allows for quick, cost-efficient retrofitting
of the UMTS technology infrastructures, e.g. to LTE-
Advanced (4G).
MAC
The MAC address (Media Access Control, Ethernet ID) is
the hardware address of every single network adaptor,
used to uniquely identify the device in the network.
Medical emergency
Personal medical emergency, for which help can be ar-
ranged using an alarm.
Mobile
Synonym for the following transmissions in the wireless
mobile network:
Voice calls with a telephone number, e.g. +49
173 1234567
ARC reporting classic DTMF or FSK based, such
as FF, CID, SIA, Scancom, Scanfast, Tunstall
SMS transmission
NC
Normally Closed; contact or switch that opens when actu-
ated
NO
Normally Open; contact or switch that closes when actu-
ated
Alarm and relay command centre
See ARC
ARC
Receiving centre; in an alarm receiving centre, messages
collected in connected subscriber zones, e.g. from dan-
ger alarm systems or building technical equipment, are
transmitted, received, documented and processed, and
intervention is provided, via the power supply of the net-
work operator (leased lines), the public telephone net-
work, Datex-P/X.25/X.31, IP, GSM, ISDN, or in Switzer-
land, via TUS (Alarmnet). Receiving centre from private

security service providers also control call for intervention
services (police/fire brigade).
NTP
Network Time Protocol
The Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a standard for syn-
chronizing clocks in computer systems via packet-based
communication networks. NTP uses the UDP connection
free transport protocol, which was specially developed to
facilitate reliable time setting across networks with varia-
ble packet run times.
Generally, references to NTP refer to both the protocol
and its software reference implementation. The SNTP
(Simple Network Time Protocol) represents a simpler
form of the NTP.
Opening detector
A detector that identifies when a window, door, shutter,
garage door, etc. is opened.
Perimeter surveillance
Continuous monitoring of large areas of open land
around the periphery or the areas used for approaching
the property, e.g. using light barriers and motion detec-
tors on the premises and/or surveillance cameras with in-
telligent motion detection.
Port
Part of a network address.
Programming
Detailed settings for the alarm panel according to the
user’s requirements (e.g. zones/partitions can be de-
fined).
PSTN
Public Switched Telephone Network, analogue, a/b
Smoke alarm device
Optical smoke alarm devices save lives, as they respond
to smoke particles in the air (usually poisonous gases).
Heat detectors/heat difference detectors respond to a
maximum temperature (e.g. 65°C) or a rapid increase in
temperature.
Relay outputs
Switching outputs for external devices (lighting control,
electric shutters, other sounders, etc.)
Rolling code (RC)
Rolling code is a technology which provides optimum
protection against code scanning and code grabbing in
order to prevent unauthorised access.
Router
See IAD
RSSI
The Received Signal Strength Indicator is an indica-
tor of the signal strength of wireless communication
applications.
Tampering, tampering protection, sabotage
So that the alarm panel and its components cannot be
tampered with, each component is monitored for tamper-
ing. Opening a detector and disconnecting cables
ALWAYS triggers an alarm. The components are usually
protected by a cover contact (alarm when detector is
opened) and an anti-removal wall contact.
Scancom
A social care alarm protocol.
Scancom is the same as Scanfast, except for channel 8.
Channel 8 in this case is used to establish a 2-way voice
connection between the alarm panel and the alarm re-
ceiving centre.
Scanfast
A social care alarm protocol
Scanfest is the same as Fast Format, except that in this
case only channel 2 (social care alarm) and channel 3
(inactivity) are used. Channels 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 are always
"5" (unused).
Arming, disarming
Activating/deactivating the alarm panel.
Arm components
Devices that can be used to arm/disarm the alarm panel
(e.g. remote control, key switch, control device).
SD card, micro SD card
Micro SD storage card for saving:
Application software in the INSTALL folder
Language files in the INSTALL folder
Images from the TVIP41550 in the IMG_X folder
Traces in the TRACE folder
A circular buffer function is integrated for images, etc.
The alarm panel checks whether the storage is full or not
every minute.
If the SD card is full, the oldest recordings will be auto-
matically deleted. However, you will still receive the error
message “SD card full”. In order to confirm this error
message, data must be manually deleted from the SD
card.
Security frequency band(868 MHz)
This frequency range is approved by the authorities for
the security field. Signals from wireless earphones, mo-
bile phones, garage door openers, etc. cannot interfere
with devices operating in these ranges.
