MEDEA Installation Manual
Glossary
AND
A logical function that requires that all the terms of the operation be true in order for
the result to be true.
Open
An input is open when it receives a signal from a detector that is no longer in stand-
by, for example, because of an attempted intrusion has been detected.
ATS
Acronym of Alarm Transmission System. Depending on the performance they can
offer, they are classified from ATS 1 to ATS 6, where ATS 1 is the simplest system
and ATS 6 is the system with the highest level of performance.
Communicator
A device capable of sending and transferring alarm signals and events via a telephone
line.
Default
Default value of a configurable parameter. This is the value of the parameter when it
leaves the factory or after a reset operation.
DTMF
Dual Tone Multi Frequency, indicates the "tone" mode of composition of a telephone.
Entry
A point of access to rooms protected by the intrusion alarm system.
Event
A fact that occurs accidentally or when a specific condition is met, for example when
a certain period of time has passed.
Physical
address
Method by which the control unit recognises the device, which cannot be changed and
is assigned by the control unit. It addresses the inputs and outputs.
Logical address
Addresses freely assignable by the installer to help him identify detectors, outputs and
installed devices. Used by the control unit to display inputs and outputs and identify
the alarms sent.
OC
Open Collector transistor. Electrical output.
OR
A logical function that requires that at least one of the terms of operation be true for
the result to be true.
Way
A set of one or more inputs that temporarily inhibit the signalling of sensor alarms
connected to enable the entry into or exit of a protected partition. The temporary
disabling time is called as entry or exit time. If neither the entry time nor the exit time
are being counted down, the activation of the detector generates an intrusion alarm
immediately.
Input/Output
PrIO
Connection point (terminal) that can be configured as input or output.
When configured as an input it can be used to physically connect a detector (usually
a sensor or a contact). Several detectors can also be connected to one input (up to
two in tandem configuration) andthey are seen as physically separate items. The input
is defined as being open when the sensor signals that it is no longer in stand-by, for
example because it has verified an attempted intrusion.
When configured as an output, it can be used to connect of devices and actuators with
which the intrusion alarm system can operate in the outside world. For example, it can
signal an alarm (with a siren), communicate a system status (with a warning light or
buzzer) or activate electrical equipment.
First entry
Activation of the detector triggers the "Entry Time 1" delay times of the sectors
associatedwiththe detector. Duringthis time, theactivations ofthe "Route" specialised
detectors that have at least one sector in common are ignored. When the delay time
has expired, the alarm is generated.
First entry 
Last exit
Combine the "First entry" and "Last exit" behaviours to enable the use of the same
access door for both exit and entry.
Protocol
Set of rules that govern the exchange or the transmission of data among devices.
PSTN
Public Switched Telephone Network indicates the telephone land line.

MEDEA Installation Manual
9
SELV
Acronym for Safety Extra-Low Voltage (rated voltage max. 25 V~ and 50 V⎓).
Sector
Grouping of inputs, outputs, user codes, buttons, remote controls and keypads
associated with a space to be controlled.
Tamper
Micro contact for protection/signalling of a device against opening and/or removal.
TC
Trigger Control, is a signal (voltage signal) of control that can inhibit the operation of a
detector or of a signalling device, e.g, by setting it to stand-by.
Entry delay
The time that the user has available from the moment he opens the delayed input to
the moment in which the alarm is generated to disarm the respective sector(s). It can
be programmed for each individual input. There are three possible delays for each
sector: Entry Delay 1, Entry Delay 2, and Entry Delay 3.
Entry Delay 1 is also the delay time from inputs with a Way characteristic triggered by
a First Entry input.
Exit delay
The time that the user has available from the moment he activates the sector/s to exit
the protected area and prevent the generation of an intrusion alarm. There is only one
exit delay per sector.
Output
Point (terminal) for the physical connection of a device that enables the intrusion alarm
system to act in the external environment, e.g. by signalling an alarm (with a siren),
communicating a system status (with a warning light or an acoustic warning device),
or activating electrical apparatus.
V~
Alternating current voltage.
V⎓
Direct current voltage.
Standards and certifications
EN 50131-1
EN 50131-1 calls for the installation of an intrusion alarm system accordingto four grades of safety, based
on the level of risk determined according to the environment type, the value of the protected goods and
the typical potential intruder.
Grade 1
Low risk
It is expected that the intruders have little knowledge of intrusion alarm systems
and have a limited range of tools that can be easily obtained.
It is indicated for premises with contents of low value.
The system is simple and equipped with external and/or internal acoustic alarms,
optical warnings, and eventually a telephonic communicator to vocal messages
to other people.
Grade 2
Average-low risk
It is expected that the intruders have limited knowledge of intrusion alarm systems
and use some tools and portable instruments (for example, a multimeter).
It is the minimum level that can be recognised by insurance companies.
It involves mostly residential and commercial premises of low value.
The system can be connected with a Security Service.
Grade 3
Average-high risk
It is expected that the intruders have knowledge of intrusion alarm systems and
have a full range of tools and portable electronic equipment.
It is indicated for commercial and industrial premises, as well as for residential
premises with a high value.
The system is usually connected with a Security Service.

10
MEDEA Installation Manual
Grade 4
High risk
To be used when security has the priority over all other factors. It is expected that
the intruders have the skills and resources to plan a detailed intrusion and have
a complete set of tools available, including the means for substituting components
of an intrusion alarm system.
This is indicated for particularly sensitive premises, for example, banks.
Table 1 - EN 50131-1 safety grades
IMPORTANT The overall grade of an intrusion alarm system is the one of its lowest grade
component.
EN 50131-1 requires that intrusion alarm system components to be suitable for use in one of the following
environmental classes:
Class I
Indoor
Environmental influences normally present in closed environments, when the
temperature is well-controlled (ex: in a residential or commercial property).
NOTE: The environment should not be subject to condensation and the
temperature should vary between +5°C and +40°C with an average relative
humidity of about 75%.
Class II
Indoor (general)
Environmental influences normally present in closed environments, when the
temperature has not been controlled (ex: in corridors, other spaces or stairways
where condensation may form on windows and in unheated areas used as a
deposit or in warehouses where heating is intermittent).
NOTE: The environment should not be subject to condensation and the
temperature should vary between -10°C and +40°C with an average relative
humidity of about 75%.
