E-TECH ET8 FEATURES

E-TECH ET8 V4 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL 5
INTRODUCTION
The E-Tech ET8 micro computer based 8 zone
control panel is the heart of your security
system to which all your detection devices
connect.
Each Zone of the panel can be connected to
one or more detection devices to protect
separate rooms of your premises.
Detection devices may be connected to the
ET8 control system directly by cabling or with
optional wireless (Radio) devices.
Detection devices called Passive Infra-Red
Detectors (or P.I.R’s for short) can detect the
movement of an intruder by sensing their body
heat. P.I.R’s are used to cover various critical
areas of your premises where an intruder may
enter or trespass. Another detection device used
is called a Reed Switch. Reed Switches are
attached to windows and doors to detect if a
window or door has been opened. A Reed
Switch consists of a magnet which is normally
attached to the moving part of a window or door
and the Reed switch which mounts to the door
or window frame.
The panel is “Armed” when it is set to detect an
intruder. At other times it is “Disarmed”.
Normally a zone is considered Sealed.
Activation of a detection device will cause the
zone to be Unsealed and may cause an alarm.
Detectors such as fire detectors and panic
buttons must be able to generate an alarm at all
times regardless of the panel setting. A zone
with this assignment is called a 24 hour zone.
Some detection devices may be required to
generate an alarm or warning only when the
panel is Disarmed. A zone with this assignment
is called a Day zone.
Before leaving the premises you must Arm the
panel to enable it to detect intruders and
generate an alarm. After arming, the panel will
ignore detectors during the Exit Delay Time to
enable you to depart without triggering an alarm.
Arming the system may be done through the
keypad or with the use of optional Radio Keys
for Arming by remote control from outside the
premises.
When you enter the premises the panel will
ignore selected zones for the Entry Delay Time
and will not alarm unless you don’t Disarm the
panel during this allowed time.
Disarming the system may be done by keypad
or with the use of optional Radio Keys.
Monitor mode allows you to Arm selected zones
while others are ignored. Typically, perimeter
zones (doors and windows) can be monitored
while you are at home.
If you wish to split your alarm system into two
areas with access limited to each area by code
numbers then Area operation is used. Radio
Keys can also Arm and Disarm Areas.
The control panel housing and the covers over
external sirens are protected by tamper
switches to detect someone attempting to
disable the security system. Activation of these
switches will cause an instant tamper alarm.
If a detector becomes faulty, you can Exclude
the associated zone so that it is totally ignored
and cannot generate an alarm. Including the
zone will enable it to generate an alarm again.
The control panel is fitted with a rechargeable
stand-by battery to ensure your security system
continues to operate if the mains power is
interrupted. This control panel automatically
tests the battery every hour and whenever you
Arm/Disarm the panel. (Dynamic Battery test).
Whenever an alarm occurs, it may be silenced
with a User Code or by optional Radio Keys,
otherwise it will reset at the end of Alarm Reset
Time.
All alarms are stored in memory and may be
viewed at any time by entering Memory Mode.

OPERATION
This section describes the operation of a
typical control panel installation. Keep in
mind that your installation may vary
depending on the selected options and
equipment. The operating instructions which
follow will cover the most common options.
Consult your installation company if you
require further information.
All control panel operations are controlled by
the ET8 LED or LCD keypad except if an
optional key switch or radio control equipment
is installed.
OPERATING RULES
Generally, the panel will be Disarmed. Armed
or Monitor modes provide different levels of
security for your premises when you are home
or away. Three other temporary modes;
Program, Memory and Exclude, allow you to
perform various operations. The panel will
automatically exit from these temporary modes
if you do not press any buttons on the keypad
in a 4 minute period.
If you make a mistake while entering any codes,
press the Enter or E button and start again.
When you are required to enter your access
code, you are given five opportunities to enter it
correctly. After the fifth invalid attempt the alarm
is activated (requiring the correct code to silence
the alarm). This prevents anyone trying to guess
your code by entering random numbers.
AREA OPERATION
Area Partitioning allows the 8 zones to be split
into two partitions; Area1 and Area2.
The panel then effectively operates as two
separate systems sharing only the siren outputs
and dialler.
USER CODE ASSIGNMENT
A User Code assigned to an Area can Arm and
Disarm only that Area. User Codes assigned to
both Areas will operate both Areas
simultaneously.
COMMON AREA ZONES
Zones assigned to both Areas are Armed only
when Area1 and Area2 are both Armed. This
allows the Common Area zone/s to be shared
by both Areas.
For example, Office A and Office B operate as
separate areas but the entrance foyer used by
both offices is assigned to both areas meaning
it will automatically Arm when both Areas have
Armed. The Common Area then automatically
disarms when either Area1 or Area2 Disarms.
OPERATION
Arming and Disarming is carried out as normal
from a single keypad or separate keypads
installed in both areas or by Radio Key.
Area operation only applies to zones when they
are in the Armed state. This means that Day,
24hr and Monitor zones are independent of the
area operations.
Note: Area partitioning is in addition to Monitor
Mode. Any zone may be allocated to any area.

E-TECH ET8 V4 CONTROL PANEL - USER MANUAL 9
OPERATION
The control panel must be Armed prior to
vacating the premises in order to detect
intruders. Ensure that the panel is not in
Program, Memory or Exclude modes.
Note:If the panel is already in alarm, you must first
silence the alarm before you can Arm.
If something is wrong when Arming the control
panel, the normal 3 beeps will be replaced by
other warnings.
10
10 beeps means Mains Power is
turned off or the Backup Battery is low.
One long beep indicates an invalid
entry or an alarm is outstanding and needs to
be reset by entering your User Code first.
SIREN WARNING:
At the end of the exit time, all zones should be
Sealed. If any are Unsealed, the siren will sound
for 2 seconds as a warning to indicate that those
zones have been automatically excluded. For
maximum security, you should return, Disarm,
check the premises and then Arm again.
Continual warnings could mean that a detector
is faulty and may have to be manually excluded.
If the auto-exclude option is disabled, the siren
will sound for the duration of reset time if a zone
is Unsealed at the end of exit time.

When you enter the protected premises through
a delay zone, the keypad responds with regular
beeps* as a reminder to Disarm. You then have
your programmed entry delay time to Disarm
the panel by entering one of your user codes. If
the panel is not Disarmed by the end of the entry
delay time, an alarm will occur.
By using the optional radio keys you may
Disarm your system from within your premises
or from outside your entrance door. There is also
the option to ‘Chirp’the outside siren three times
and to flash the strobe light for two seconds as
an indication that you have Disarmed your
system.
If you make a mistake in entering your code,
then you must press enter and start again. Five
incorrect entries will cause an alarm.
* If Entry Beeps are programmed on.
OPERATION
Your panel can be reset and the alarm silenced
by the same key sequence as Disarming the
panel.
If you arrive at your premises and find the strobe
light flashing (if installed), reset the panel as
above. To check the cause of the alarm, you
can view the alarms in memory by entering
Memory Mode.

RESETTING ALARMS
Alarms may be caused by:
•A zone has been triggered while Armed
•A Tamper has been triggered
•A PANIC button has been triggered
All of these may cause your sirens and strobe
to operate. Various visual indications relevant
to the alarm will be retained in the memory. If
this occurs, Disarming your control panel will
reset the alarm. The cause of the alarm can be
identified by entering the Alarm Memory Mode
as described on page 15.

MONITORING
CENTRAL STATION MONITORING
The ET8 control panel has an on-board digital
dialler which can send detailed alarm messages
to a Central Monitoring Station.
The digital messages can include information
about the zone or zones which caused the
alarm, tamper alarms, low battery or mains
failure reports, and it can also (by user number)
identify the users who Arm and Disarm the
system.
Central Station Monitoring is highly
recommended and is the most effective method
of monitoring your ET8 alarm system. For
further information about 24 hour monitoring,
contact your installer or E-Tech Security
Products.
