1. Overview
1. Overview
The 8136 is a programmable Alarm System that can be expanded up to 136
zones and is suitable for large residential and business premises.
The system comprises an control unit in a shielded case, and up to fifteen
separate keypads. A basic 8136 provides connections for up to eight Fully
Supervised Loop (FSL) zones, and four programmable outputs. In addition,
the 8136 has a built in Digital Communicator (modem) that can be used to
signal to a remote Central Station, and for remote control from a PC.
By installing an eight zone FSL Expander card the system can provide a total
of 16 FSL zones. Alternatively, the 8136 can use Individual Detector Identifi-
cation System (IDIS) expander cards to provide either 32 or 128 additional
IDIS zones.
IDIS is the proprietary three wire point detector identification system devel-
oped for Scantronic Limited. Each IDIS zone can connect an IDIS detector
or, by using an IDIS interface module, a standard detector and output. IDIS
minimises wiring costs since all detectors can share a single 3-wire cable.
The 8136 also provides pins for fitting a plug-on communication device, and
will work with any device that complies with the Scantronic plug-on footprint.
The 8136 software provides a flexible installation that can meet many differ-
ent needs. A system can be partitioned by installer programming so that it
can provide up to four sub Alarm Systems using one set of hardware. The
8136 can provide for up to 95 identified users, and each user can be limited
to specific partitions. The 8136 allows users to set the system to four different
security Levels, which can be programmed by the installer. Individual zones
can be programmed as Flexi-Zones®, which change behaviour depending on
which security Level is set.
The installer can program the system from a keypad, which provides a 32
character Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) giving plain text responses to com-
mands. The programming interface is arranged into a set of numbered
menus that lead the installer through the installation process.
Alternatively, the installer can use Scantronic <Downloader> software on a
remote PC to program the system. <Downloader> also provides on-line
control. Using <Downloader> can shorten the time an installer spends on
site, and reduce the number of visits to a user site for maintenance and
resets.
Before installing an 8136 system make sure you are fully familiar with the
functions of the control unit and the installation procedures described in this
manual.
