1Introduction
The Care-Tech 1700 control unit has been designed and manufactured in England to
provide the facilities necessary to form the heart of a sophisticated alarm system for the
protection of persons and property. Many of the facilities are programmed by the
installing company, who will be able to advise you on the availability of certain of the
features referred to in this manual.
The 1700 system consists of a central unit with up to three remote keypads to provide the
control facility.
The Keypad:
The system is powered from the mains supply, and is fitted with a rechargeable battery to
ensure that the system continues to function normally, for a minimum of eight hours,
during a mains power failure.

1.2Terms Used
Certain terms used to describe features and operation of the system may be unfamiliar,
the principal ones are as follows:
DAY MODE The 'normal' state of the alarm system whilst the premises
are occupied, and the alarm switched 'OFF.' 'Personal
Attack' facilities remain functional, and the system will
continue to monitor itself for evidence of tampering. Also
known as 'UNSET' or 'OPEN'
SWITCH ON The action of activating, or 'SETTING' the alarm system,
whether by use of the keypad or keyswitch.
SET The condition of the alarm system when armed, after the
switching on process has been completed - ie after the
completion of the exit time. Also known as 'CLOSED.'
FULL SET The condition of the alarm when the entire system is set
PART SET The condition of the alarm system when a pre-programmed
portion of the system is not armed - for example when
setting the system at night whilst still in the premises.
Two separate Part Setting areas are available.
EXIT TIME The time delay permitted after switching the system on
and before it becomes armed - during which you must
leave the premises, and close the final exit door.
ENTRY TIME The time delay permitted by the system after entering by
the authorised route, and during which the system must be
switched off, or an alarm will sound.
ENTRY-EXIT ROUTE The portion of the alarm system linked to the Exit and
Entry timers, through which exit and entry must be made.
ZONE or CIRCUIT A division of the system which is separately identified in
the indications at the control.
ZONE or CIRCUIT
FAULT Condition of one of the zones when one (or more) detectors are not clear, thus preventing the system from
being 'set' - eg a door left open.
ZONE OMISSION The facility to disable an individual zone (or zones) whilst
setting the system
SYSTEM FAULT An incorrect electrical condition which may impair the
correct operation of the system - refer to these instructions
for action required.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd.
Page 4 Issue 3a

TAMPER A fault existing in the wiring, or securing of the housing of
part of the system, preventing normal operation.
PERSONAL ATTACK
(PA) An alarm generated deliberately, to summon assistance if being attacked, operative whether system is switched on or
not. If remote signalling is fitted, the PA alarm may be
silent.
REMOTE SIGNALLING The facility (if fitted) for the system to automatically
communicate by telephone line with a remote Central
Monitoring Station to initiate a call to the police.
1.3The Display
The 7-segment LED display indicates the condition of your alarm system. This will
clearly show any information requiring your attention, as indicated in these instructions.
The most important indications are as follows:
'Normal' Indications 'Fault' Indications
dSystem in 'day' mode dflashing System is awaiting
reset by engineer
. (full stop) System is 'set' Figure
1-20 A fault or alarm has
originated on the zone

January 2000 Page 5

1.4The Keypad
The 10 numeric keys are for entering your code for setting and unsetting the system, or
entering other information when required. Four lettered keys (A,B,C,D) are provided on
remote keypads. Functions available on these keys are available on alternative keys if
these are not present. The # (YES) and * (NO) keys allow confirmation or cancelling of
codes entered, also the choice of 'Full' or 'Part' setting the system. Always enter your code
carefully and deliberately, never leaving more than 3 seconds between consecutive
presses, or the system will reset itself. If the system does not immediately respond to
your command, wait 3-4 seconds before trying again.
1.5Operating Codes
There are three levels of access to the system as follows:
Code Details of use Factory pre-set To change
USER 4 different codes may be programmed
These enable the system to be set and unset. 1234 See 6.2
MANAGER A single code must be programmed, to
provide access to the 'Manager' menu only, so
that additional functions may be used.
2222 See 6.3
ENGINEER A single code is available to the installing company engineer to access the
programming facilities of the system
1.6The Keyswitch
The keyswitch, if fitted, provides an alternative to the keypad for setting, unsetting or
resetting the system. The keypad(s) and keyswitch may be used interchangeably.
1.7Levels of setting
The system may be used in a variety of ways to maximise your security. These are:
FULL SET The entire system is armed, and in the event of an intrusion, an alarm will be
sounded, and (if fitted) a police call initiated.
PART SET A pre-programmed portion of the system only is set. The system may provide
a reduced level of warning outputs in this mode - eg no police call.
Two different 'Part' settings are provided (designated 'B' and 'C') to permit, for
example, one setting to be used to set the downstairs at night, and the other
to set upstairs and the garage during the day.
Part Set 'C' is available ONLY if programmed by the installing engineer.
CHIME Provides a simple 'Chime' warning if a programmed zone is triggered whilst
the premises are occupied.
Note that the areas pre-programmed for PART 'B', PART 'C' and CHIME may all be
different, or overlap.

6.7.3Display of Time and Date
If scrolled through a log record with '0' key, the system will additionally indicate the
Time and Date associated with that event, in the format
HH MM DD MM
ie HOURS MINUTES DAY MONTH shown sequentially, two characters at a time.
eg 14 30 18 07 would indicate 2.30 pm, 18th July
6.7.4Printing logs
By using the command 31# whilst the 'Manager prompt' is showing, the log will be
output to a printer connected to the system. The printer connections should be fitted by
your installing engineer. The system is compatible with many standard IBM
PC-compatible 'Centronics' parallel type printers, such as Datec DP1014.0400K, Seiko
DPU40, Epson P40, etc. Owing to the wide variations in software driving
requirements, it is not possible for the 1700 system to correctly drive all types of
printer.
The printer should NOT be left connected to the system when 'off line' or not in use.
