INTRODUCTION
ABSOLUTA is a series of Modular Control Panels
based on the ABSOLUTA 16, ABSOLUTA 42 and
ABSOLUTA 104 Main Boards, with the characteristics
listed in Table 2.
By combining these main boards with the boxes and
power supplies available (see the Table opposite), your
installer has developed the most suited control panel to
your needs.
This Manual is designed for anyone using a Control
panel from the ABSOLUTA range. Most of the features
described in this Manual are included on all ABSOLUTA
Control panels. However, some features are included on
certain models only, in such cases, the name of the Con-
trol panel will be specified.
3This note will be used to highlight specific charac-
teristics of the Grade 3 control panels (Table 1).

tive invalid PIN are entered.
Arming/Disarming Partitions
When a Partition is armed, any violation of one of its
Zones causes an alarm.
When a Partition is disarmed, its zones can be violated
without causing any alarms.
+The 24h Zones cause an alarm independent of the
status of Partitions they belong to; they are gener-
ally used to detect security system device tamper-
ing and as fire detectors.
Operations described in this paragraph arm/disarm ALL
Partitions common to Keypad and PIN used, as pro-
grammed by the installer (ask the installer for more in-
formation).
Single Partitions can also be armed/disarmed singly as
described in “Info > Partition Status”.
To arm/disarm Partitions, follow the instructions below.
Enter the Home Screen as described in “Entering the
Home Screen”.
The keypad displays the Home Screen described below.

current Partition status:
ØGREEN with the label Disarmed,if
ALL Keypad Partitions are DISARMED;
ØRED with the label Armed Global,if
ALL Keypad Partitions are ARMED;
ØRED with the label Armed if AT LEAST
ONE Keypad Partition is ARMED.
5) Arming/disarming key The grey key arms the Parti-
tions as selected or disarms them:
ØGREY with the label Arm Global,
ARMS ALL the Partitions of the Keypad and PIN
used;
ØGREY with the label Arm STAY type

PIN used in the programmed mode;
+The label Arm STAY Type A Arming depends on
the Arming Mode selected and can be modified by
the installer.
ØGREY with the label Disarm,
DISARMS ALL the Partitions of the Keypad and PIN
used.
Here below you will find some possible combinations of
the box displaying the current status of Partitions and

Key:
If there are no Arming Block Conditions (see relative
paragraph), the keypad starts to scan Exit Delay (if pro-
grammed).
+Exit Delay is also signalled audibly increasing in

Leave the protected zones, along the preset route, be-
fore Exit Delay expires or disarm the Partitions.
At the end of Exit Delay (if programmed), the keypad
displays the Standby Screen.
nDisarming
If you violate a Delayed Zone, the keypad starts scan-
ning Entry Delay:
In that case, just enter a valid PIN and press , to dis-
arm the Partitions before Entry Delay expires.
In all other cases, enter the Home Screen as described
in “Entering the Home Screen” and press Disarm.
+Entry Delay is also signalled audibly increasing in
frequency when the alarm will go off in less than 10
seconds.

plays the Standby Screen.
ABSOLUTA OPERATIONS FROM TOUCH KEYPAD 11

nDisarm under Duress
If you are forced to disarm the system under duress,
use the PIN the installer assigned for the purpose (ask
your installer for more information); in that way the con-
trol panel will send a silent alarm (NOT signalled by any
audible device and by the keypads) to competent
authorities.
nDisarm for patrol
Use the PIN assigned for this function (ask your installer
for more information) to disarm the Partitions for a lim-
ited period of time; Partitions will re-arm automatically
when the time programmed expires.
nDisarming with several PINs/Keys
If the installer has programmed disarming using several
PINs/Keys for a Partition, to disarm it you must en-
ter/use the PIN/Key number assigned before the pro-
grammed time expires, as described below (also read
the same paragraph under “OPERATIONS FROM LCD
KEYPAD > Basic (Arming) Commands” and “Reader
Operations”).
1. Disarm the Partitions as described in “Disarming”:
The display shows time available to use another PIN or
Key.
2. Disarm the Partitions again using a different PIN or
Key before time available expires:
The display message System Disarmed appears if
other PINs or Keys are NOT needed, otherwise it goes
back to the previous step.
nAuto-arming
If your installer has programmed the Partitions to arm
automatically, they will be armed/disarmed at sched-
uled times, in scheduled modes: ask your installer for
more information.
+Auto-arming can be enabled/disabled as de-
scribed in “System > Auto-arming”.
When there are just 10 minutes to go before a Partition
is armed automatically, the display, in Standby Status,
shows the auto-arming signalling bar with the count-
down of time remaining:
You can postpone automatic arming by 1 hour as fol-
lows.
1. Enter the Home Screen as described in “Entering
the Home Screen”:
2. Press More Time to postpone automatic arming by
1 hour or press OK to hide the auto-arming notifica-
tion bar.
+You can postpone automatic arming, up to 3 times
in a day.
See “Menu (User) > Extra Time” to postpone the
auto-arming when there are more than 10 minutes left
before the scheduled time.
12 Expandable Hybrid Control Panel ABSOLUTA

nArming Block Conditions
The display shows a screen like this one if there are any
conditions that prevent Partition arming:
Press Force to arm the Partitions in any case or Cancel
to cancel arming.
+Based on the Keypad function mode (EN50131 en-
abled/disabled) some Blocking Conditions
CANNOT be forced : read “APPENDIX > Arming
Block Conditions” for more information.
Some Blocking Conditions can be solved by the user,
others require installer intervention.
Alarm Status
The Alarm Status is signalled by means set by the in-
staller:
Øvisible and/or audible devices (sirens);
Øvoice calls and/or SMS sent to a programmed series
of numbers;
Øtransmission of events to central stations.
The Keypad signals the Alarm Status with the message
System in Alarm above a red bar and the icon .
If option EN50131 is disabled the Alarm Status is also
visible from the Standby Status:
Otherwise, if the EN50131 option is ENABLED, the
Alarm Status is ONLY visible in the Home Screen:
Disarm Partitions as described in “Arming/Disarming
Partitions” to end the Alarm Status.
+The Control panel carries on to transmit pro-
grammed events (voice calls, SMS and transmis-
sion of events to the Central Stations) even after
the Partitions have been disarmed: read the follow-
ing paragraph to cancel the transmission of events.
See “Menu (User) > Stop Alarms” if the disarming of the
Zones does NOT block the visual/audio (siren) signal-
ling devices.
ABSOLUTA OPERATIONS FROM TOUCH KEYPAD 13

nClear the transmission of events
1. Enter the Home Screen as described in “Entering
the Home Screen”:
2. Press to cancel the transmissions in progress
and any more queuing:
3. Press Yes to confirm.
Viewing Signals
The LED Gindicates a signal (alarm, tampering, fault
or zone bypass).
If all signals have ended, the LED Gblinks to indicate
that signals have occurred (memory).
+If the Keypad has the EN50131 option enabled, the
Gled ONLY displays system status when ALL
keypad Partitions are disarmed: ask your installer
for more information.
To view signals in progress and those memorised, fol-
