User’s Manual

This User’s Manual is intended to help for studying operability principles and maintenance of
Signal-10 Intrusion and Fire Alarm Panel of version 1.03.
Please read the instructions completely before connecting, operating, adjusting or maintaining
this product.
The following terms are used throughout the Manual:
Alarm Loop (or Loop, or LP): The electrical circuit with non-addressable fire or intrusion detectors
(or other non-addressable devices) included. Actuation of a single detector brought in an alarm
loop causes breaking of the loop as a whole, so the actuated detector can be located only with
the accuracy of the alarm loop.
Zone: A minimal part of a security and safety installation that can be monitored and controlled inde-
pendently. Depending on the context, the term ‘zone’ can imply an alarm loop, an addressable
detector, a hardware component, and so on.
Partition: A set of zones that can be user controlled as a whole. As a rule, zones fall into partitions
depending on their location (e.g., one partition can involve all zones at one individual area)
Arm/Disarm means starting/cancellation monitoring of loop (zone, partition, system) conditions and
signaling alarms in controlled zones
Integration Time – a time interval during which sudden alterations of loop resistance are not consid-
ered as loop breaking, thus producing no alarms
Network Address (or Address): A unique number of the device (from 1 to 127) within the ISS Orion
local RS-485 network

The Signal-10 Intrusion and Fire Alarm Panel (hereinafter referred to as the Signal-10 or the device)
is intended to be used both standalone and as a part of Orion automated integrated security system
to provide fire safety and security against break-ins/unauthorized entry for such industrial, commer-
cial, and residential premises as plants, banks, offices, hospitals, schools, stores, warehouses, homes
and so on.
The Signal-10 provides monitoring for up to 10 fire, or intrusion, or auxiliary alarm zones (or alarm
loops) by receiving signals from included both automated and manual, both passive and loop pow-
ered, both two and four wire, both fire and intrusion detectors, contactors and alarms with both nor-
mally open and closed contacts. If Bolid manufactured threshold addressable initiating devices such
as DIP-34PA, IPR513-3PA, and S2000-IP-PA are included to the Signal-10 alarm loops, the Signal-
10 enables monitoring up to 100 fire alarm zones.
The Signal-10 is intended for both standalone and online operation. While operating as a part of an
Orion security system, the Signal-10 device is to be monitored and controlled by a network controller
which can be S2000
1)
or S2000Мconsole as well as a personal computer with ARM Orion/Orion Pro
software installed.
The Signal-10 is intended to implement 10 various methods to monitor alarm loops. The particular
methods to be in use for each loop individually are selected while programming the Signal-10. Among
these methods are four different tactics to monitor fire alarm loops (including operating both smoke
and heat detectors), four different tactics to monitor intruder alarm loops and two tactics to monitor
technologic (or auxiliary) alarm loops which are used to integrate various measuring or warning appa-
ratus in the security system.
Monitoring the conditions of connected alarm loops, Signal-10 provides:
 Light indication of alarm loop conditions by means of built-in LEDs 1 – 10, located on the de-
vice face plate
 Audible alarms by means of built-in sounder
 Separate FIRE and TROUBLE alarm transmission to a Fire Station
 Alarm transmission to a Central Monitoring Station
 Automatic turning external sound and light alarm devices on upon alarm conditions, with ex-
ternal device circuits being monitored for open and short failures
 Automatic starting of a fixed fire-fighting system with locking the start in case of door open
condition
1)
Signal-10 can operate under a S2000 console with some limitations

Signal-10 General

 Automatic control for various engineering equipment used within security systems (such as
heaters, coolers, ventilators, air conditioners and so on) in accordance with a selected pro-
gram
 While being operated by a network controller, centralized control for device executive outputs
and involving them into complicated automated control logic
 While being operated by a network controller, transmission to the Orion system all information
about controlled events, namely addressable detector’s and alarm loop’s condition changing,
loop arming and disarming attempts, various troubles of alarm loops, relay outputs and the de-
vice itself, and so on. This information can be given to an operator or security system adminis-
trator, or written into a log for following analysis, or transmitted to a centralized indicator de-
vice, etc.
 Remote measuring current resistance values of alarm loop along with included devices in ADC
units
Arming/disarming of alarm loops is implemented by using electronic keys which can be Dallas iBut-
tons (Touch Memory devices) or other identifiers with 1-Wire (µ-LAN) output interface. To read elec-
tronic keys an external reader is to be connected to the relevant input of the Signal-10. The device
provides indication of current partition conditions and results of requested operations by means of
two-color reader LED.
The keys have to be pre-programmed, that is enrolled either into the device memory (if alarm loops of
the device are armed/disarmed locally) or into the network database (under centralized control) along
with the rights to arm/disarms the particular loops of the device assigned to each key.
The device can be powered by one or two (the main and the extra) power supplies providing 12 or 24
Volt of DC. It is strongly recommended to use Bolid manufactured battery backed power suppliers of
series RIP-12 or RIP-24.
To program the Signal-10 device for adapting to particular user conditions and meeting specific user
needs the Orion device configuration tool, UProg.exe program, has to be used. The latest version of
the UProg Configuration Tool can be downloaded from the Bolid website at the address of
www.bolid.com. To program the device by means of the UProg, it should be connected to a PC with
UProg.exe installed via one of Bolid manufactured interface converters such as PI-GR, S2000-PI,
S2000-USB, or USB-RS485.
The Signal-10 is equipped with a tamper switch which provides generating tamper alarms while tam-
per conditions are changed and transmitting them to a network controller.
The Signal-10 Intrusion and Fire Alarm Panel is intended for indoor installation and round the clock
operation. The device is not suitable for operation in corrosive and dusty environments, as well as in
fire-hazardous or explosive areas.
