Preface
This manual will explain all aspects of programming the Solution-8 control panel from default to final
commissioning. All system parameters and options are detailed, however suitability is left up to the individual.
Every system can be tailored to meet all requirements quickly and easily. The programming simplicity will make
your installation quick, accurate and rewarding each and every time.
This manual assumes that you are familiar with every feature and operation as detailed in the Operators Manual.
Therefore certain operational procedures have been omitted. A number of new features and improvements have
been introduced in Solution-8 Issue 3. To make the changes easily noticeable we have prefixed each of
them with the following symbol V3.
Introduction
Congratulations on selecting the Solution-8 security control system for your installation. So that you can
obtain the most from your unit, we suggest that you take the time to read through this manual and familiarise
yourself with the numerous outstanding operating and installation features of this system. You will notice that in
all aspects of planning, engineering, styling, operation, convenience and adaptability, we have sought to
anticipate your every possible requirement. Programming simplicity and speed have been some of the major
considerations and we believe that our objectives in this area have been more than satisfied.
The plug in PROGRAMMING KEY has been a major break through in control panel programming. This unique
device offers a much more versatile, accurate and time saving way to configure your systems. The many available
programming methods, cabinet design and flexibility of this security control panel will make installation a breeze
with total satisfaction every time.
NOTE:
A number of new features and improvements have been introduced in Solution-8 Issue 3. To make the
changes easily noticeable we have prefixed each of them with the following symbol V3.

Features
The Solution-8 security control panel is microprocessor controlled with the highest degree of integration
ever seen in security control systems to date. This not only means more features but greater reliability and
performance. The design of every feature has been accomplished with continual consideration being given to the
end user and the installer. The control console is straight forward and uncluttered, so as not to complicate its
operation or make programming confusing in any way. Its stylish appearance allows it to easily blend in with
modern and contemporary surroundings.
The cabinet has been laid out to allow for easy conduit entry and has ample room for wiring and a 6.5aH battery.
A dynamic battery tester has been incorporated which performs continual testing and monitoring of the backup
battery's condition and will report any failure through the system console. A battery can no longer be left
accidentally unconnected because the system will detect this failure and report it accordingly.
The Day Alarm feature enables you to monitor the opening of a front door of a shop, or unauthorised access into
a particular area. The remote arming feature gives you the ability to arm your system from any telephone in the
world.
In situations where the main console is installed in a bedroom and the indicators become annoying at night, the
console extinguish mode will automatically turn off all the indicators after sixty seconds. The console indicators
will illuminate the next time a key is pressed or an alarm occurs.
Programming has been made child's play with the introduction of the unique Programming Key. This simple
device exclusive to E.D.M. will revolutionise programming. Labour costs and the possibility of programming
errors will be greatly reduced.
The fully programmable, no compromise output system with its timing and polarity functions has made
interfacing as simple as one, two, three. This allows for easy control of all external devices. The Integrated
Protection System [I.P.S.] has also been incorporated into this revolutionary security control system adding
greater reliability along with incredible tolerance to incorrect wiring or adverse situations. The 24 Hour zones
have been enhanced with the addition of a Fire sound available to the horn speakers. This feature can be of great
use when using smoke detectors so that a distinctly different alert tone is generated from a 24 Hour Fire zone to
that of a standard 24 Hour Burglary zone.
E.D.M. has injected twenty years of knowledge and expertise into the Solution-8 security control system
making it the most flexible, tolerant and easy to operate unit available on the market today. E.D.M. proves again
that an Australian owned company backed by Australians is by far one of the most technically advanced security
manufacturers in the market place today and in the future.

Programming
General
The programming options of this system are stored in a non volatile EEprom. This memory will hold all the
relevant configuration and user specific data even during a total power loss. The data retention time is as long as
ten years without power, therefore no reprogramming will be required after powering the system down. The data
can be altered as many times as required without the need for any additional specialised equipment. This memory
is laid out in numerous locations each of which holds the data for a specific function. In general, the entire
programming sequence will consist of nominating the location then entering or altering the required data. You
will repeat this procedure until all the data has been altered to suit your requirements. The factory default settings
have been selected for Expanded High Speed format.
NOTE:
'15' is the max value that can be programmed into any location.
There are two programming modes. The Installers programming mode and the Operators programming mode.
Both modes have individual access codes and these two codes must always be programmed differently. The
Master Code, as well as being able to arm and disarm the system gives access to the Operators Program mode.
The Installers code however, only gives access to the Installers Program mode and does NOT arm and disarm the
system. Neither of these programming modes are accessible if the system is in the armed state or a previous alarm
memory exists. This condition needs to be corrected before access will be allowed. This is achieved by arming
and disarming the system in succession. It should be noted that when in installer programming mode, all alarms
will be disabled.
Programming of the Solution-8 control panel can be carried out via any of the following four methods.
System console
Solution Programmer
Solution Programming Key
Alarm Link Upload/Download software
Throughout this manual, mention is made of the STAY and AWAY buttons. The Solution hand held
Programmer does not have these buttons, but instead has the * and # symbols.
NOTE:
When using the Solution Programmer any reference in this manual made to the HOME button should be
considered as the * button and the AWAY button considered as the # button. STAY = '*' and AWAY = '#'
Via the System Console
The system must be in a disarmed state with no flashing ZONE alarm memories, this can be achieved by entering
the Master Code then Away (the factory default Master Code is 2580).
To access the Installers Program mode, key in the four or six digit Installer code followed by the AWAY key (the
factory default installer code is 1234). Three beeps will be heard and both the AWAY and the STAY indicators
will flash simultaneously. If a long beep is heard, check the system for alarm memory. The combination of the
MAINS, FAULT and ZONE indicators will indicate the data stored in the first location (location zero). The
number nine(9) is represented by the FAULT indicator and the number zero(0) is represented by the MAINS
indicator. If the value five is being displayed then zone indicator number five will illuminate. If the value
thirteen(13) is being displayed then the FAULT indicator and the ZONE-4 indicator will illuminate.

ISSUE401.DOC Electronics Design & Manufacturing
Example: 9+4=13
To go to a particular location, key in the location number followed by Away. The indicator will display this
locations data. To move to the next location, press AWAY. The indicator will now display this locations data.
Pressing STAY without previously entering a location number, will step the system back one location. To change
data at the current location key in the new value (remembering that entering the hex values A to F is represented
by the decimal values 10 to 15) followed by STAY. This will store the new data and leave you still positioned at
the same location. To proceed to the next location press the AWAY key. The new locations data will now be
displayed on the indicators.
To exit the Installers Program mode, key in 260 followed by the AWAY key. Two beeps will be heard and the
system will return to normal.
The valid address range for a Solution-8 control panel is 000 to 253.
Via the Solution Programmer
The programmer has five, seven segment displays. The three on the left display the location, and the two on the
right display the data for that particular location. To connect the Solution Programmer, firstly locate the
connections marked KEY. This point can be found centrally located on the Solution-8 printed circuit
board. Observe the triangular markings on the Solution-8 board and line them up with the markings on the
programmers connecting socket. Ensure that the select switch is in the EXT position. When the programmer is
correctly plugged into the Solution-8 board, a beep will be heard and four centre bars on the programmer
will illuminate with either a 'A' or 'U' suffix to indicate the system is Armed or Un-armed. Only when the
Installers Program mode has been accessed will any numerals appear on the displays.
NOTE:
The system must be in a disarmed state with no flashing L.E.Ds indicating alarm memory.
To access the Installers Program mode, key in the four or six digit Installers code followed by # (the default
installers code is factory set to 1234). Three beeps will be heard and the display will show the current data stored
in location zero. If a long beep is heard, check the system for alarm memory. To go to a particular location, key
in the location number followed by #. This locations data will now be displayed. To move to the next location
press #. This will step you to the next location, displaying the appropriate data. Pressing * without previously
entering a location number will step the system back one location. To change data at the current location, key in
the new value (remembering that the hex value A to F is represented by the decimal values 10 to 15) followed by
*. This will store the new data and leave you still positioned at the same location. To proceed to the next location,
press #. The data for this location will now be displayed.
To exit the Installers Program mode, key in 260 followed by #. Two beeps will be heard and the system will
return to normal.
Internal / External
The programmer has a built in programming default key. Use this key to default the control panels data to your
specific requirements. To program the internal key enter normal programming mode and select INT on the
switch. Now all programming alterations will be recorded into your programmers memory key. Once you have
exited programming mode switch to EXT mode. To download the programmers memory to a control panel
simply connect your programmer and switch to INT wait for the activity light to start blinking then switch back to
EXT. The control panel now has a copy of the programmers memory loaded.
