Introduction
Peperosso is a dissuading system with nebulization of irritating gas able to saturate in only 10 seconds
an area of 100 m2(note: unique environment).
The nebulized gas is a no- greasy chilli pepper based gas that causes irritation on skin
and mucosa, cough, lacrimation, heavy abundance of mucus and intense burning
sensation, persuading the intruder to leave immediately the area.
Gas is emitted by three disposable sprays of 20 ml located inside Peperosso.
Peperosso can be connected by wire to an alarm control panel. Gas diffusion occurs only after the
activation of the three different wired inputs (control panel activated, alarm start and additional sensor
confirmation close to nebulizer), avoiding any gas nebulization due to wrong usage by the owner.
Peperosso represents an efficient and immediate solution to fast thefts attempts.

5
Functioning
The electronic board analyses the wired input commands to safely determine the need for spray. In positive
case, a mechanical system compress the sprays that nebulize the chili pepper based gas.
The active principle will spread in an area of about 100 m2(unique environment), causing irritation on skin
and mucosa, cough, lacrimation, heavy abundance of mucus and intense burning sensation, persuading
the intruder to leave immediately the area.
Peperosso can work in two different modes to avoid unwanted nebulization:
Nebulisation driven by IN3
THE SECURITY SYSTEM MUST BE ARMED…
Peperosso is connected to control panel (input IN1) and enable its working only when the alarm
system is armed
…IN CASE OF ALARM NEBULISATION IS READY…
When the system is in alarm the control panel signals it to Peperosso (input IN2) that prepares
nebulisation: the gas is not yet emitted, depends on input IN3 state
…AN INTRUDER CAUSE NEBULISATION TO START
Peperosso verify if the confirm input (input IN3) signals a detection: it’s the confirm an intruder is
near and thus gas nebulisation can start
It’s possible to connect input IN3 to a remote control system (example: surveillance system) to
enable nebulisation from remote
Instantaneous nebulisation
THE SECURITY SYSTEM MUST BE ARMED…
Peperosso is connected to control panel (input IN1) and enable its working only when the alarm
system is armed
…AS SOON AS AN ALARM STARTS THE GAS IS NEBULIZED
When the system is in alarm, the control panel signals it to Peperosso (input IN2) that prepares
nebulisation: the gas is nebulized. The confirm input (input IN3) must be correctly connected

6
Precautions
SPRAY CANS MUST BE INSTALLED AS LAST, JUST BEFORE THE COVER CLOSING AND AFTER REALIZING ALL
THE REQUIRED CONNECTIONS, PROVIDED POWER AND ELECTRICAL SIGNALS FROM CONTROL PANEL AND
DETECTORS.
IF NOT PEPEROSSO SHOULD ACCIDENTALLY ACTIVATE THE NEBULISATION.
USING THE DEVICE ACCORDING TO THESE INSTRUCTIONS IS LEGAL.
IT IS SUGGESTED TO SIGNALIZE ITS PRESENCE WITH SPECIAL SIGNS EASILY VISIBLE TO ALERT THE RISK OF
IRRITATING SPRAY
ALL THE INSTALLING OPERATIONS MUST BE DONE WITHOUT THE SPRAY CANS INSIDE THE DEVICE!
TO ALLOW THE GAS IS RELEASED CORRECTLY INTO THE ENVIRONMENT AND AVOID SPOTS, AVOID THE
PRESENCE OF ITEMS THAT MEETS THE NOZZLES OF CANS WITHIN 2 METRES.
PEPEROSSO IS ACTIVATED AT CONTROL PANEL ARMING (COMMAND CONNECTED TO INPUT IN1): USE
ONLY TOTAL ARMING COMMAND.
DO NOT ACTIVATE PEPEROSSO WHEN IN PARTIAL ARMING BECAUSE IS NOT GUARANTEED THE COMPLETE
ABSENCE OF PEOPLE IN PROTECTED AREA
DO NOT INSTALL THE DEVICE WHEN IN PRESENCE OF NOT PACKAGED FOOD OR ENVIRONMENT
INCOMPATIBLE WITH GAS NEBULISATION.
ATTENTION: PEPEROSSO IS PROTECTED AGAINST WIRE CUTTING: IF PROPER SIGNALS ARE MISSING ON
MONITORING INPUTS (EXAMPLE: WIRE CUT, BLACKOUT OR CONTROL PANEL BATTERY TEST OR ITS
FAILURE), GAS NEBULISATION CAN STARTS.
After nebulisation
The gas nebulized is not harmful to health although it is very irritating.
The active principle decay after about 36 hours.
After the area has been saturated with the gas, it is necessary to proceed with an accurate decontamination
as the residual chilli pepper fine dust may react again after depositing on surfaces.
Furniture and home furnishings are not damaged.
ensure proper ventilation
irritation subsides in about 30 minutes
contamination of clothes can prolong the action
be careful to not touch your eyes and wash your hands thoroughly
to avoid unpleasant irritation is recommended the use of masks during cleaning

Tamper output: normally closed at rest (tamper closed)
In case of opening or removal (without distinction) the terminal opens signalling tamper
IN1
BLOCK device input:
+12 V : the device is deactivated
GND: the device is activated
IN2
NEBULISATION READY input: normally closed towards positive (+12 V )
When the positive is removed the IN3 input status is checked (depends by connection):
INSTANTANEOUS MODE
Nebulisation starts immediately
DRIVEN MODE
if IN3 confirm, gas is sprayed (confirm is monitored up to 8 minutes after the end of
NEBULISATION READY)
if IN3 stay at rest the nebulisation is disabled (it’s then necessary to provide a disarm/arm
cycle on input IN2)
IN3
NEBULISATION input: normally closed towards positive (+12 V )
If positive is removed when NEBULISATION READY is activated (by IN2) the nebulisation starts
OUT D
MOTOR SUPPLY FAILURE output: normally at 12 V
The output switches to GND in case of failure on motor power supply circuit
If the main supply voltage or the battery voltage are lower than 10,5 V , the OUT D output
switches to GND signalling the failure (inadequate voltage). The voltage check is made when
IN1 (BLOCK) is at GND, that is with Peperosso unlocked.
If OUT D is at GND it is necessary to check the power voltages are correct (between 12 and 13,8
V ); if power voltages are correct but output D –with Peperosso unlocked –is still at GND, it
is necessary to call technical service assistance
+VS
POWER 12 V output: normally at +12 V
Provide a positive pole +12 V for power supplying local detector/external devices
