PREFACE
CONFORMITY WITH EN50131-1
The EN50131-1 standard calls for the installation of a grade four intruder alarm system, based on the level of risk determined in
function of the type of environments, of the value of the goods to be protected, and the typical intruder expected.
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 intruder 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 intruder 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.
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 intruder alarm
system. This is indicated for particularly sensitive premises, for example, banks.
ATTENTION! The grade of an intruder alarm system is the one of its lowest grade component.
The EN50131-1 standard requires that the components of the intruder alarm system are suitable to be used in one of the following
environmental classes, where Class I is the most moderate and class IV is the most severe.
Environmental class I –Indoors
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%.
Environmental class II –Indoors –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%.
Environmental class III –Outdoors –Sheltered or indoors under extreme conditions
Environmental influences normally present outdoors when components of the intruder alarm system are not totally exposed to
atmospheric agents or indoors, when the environmental conditions are extreme.
NOTE: The environment should not be subject to condensation and the temperature should vary between -25°C and +50°C with an
average relative humidity of about 75%. For 30 days a year it is expected that the relative humidity will vary between 85% and 95%
without being subject to condensation.
Environmental class IV –Outdoors –General
Environmental influences normally present outdoors, when the components of the intruder alarm system are completely exposed to the
elements.
NOTE: The environment should not be subject to condensation and the temperature should vary between -25°C and +60°C with an
average relative humidity of about 75%. For 30 days a year it is expected that the relative humidity will vary between 85% and 95%
without being subject to condensation.
The MP500 intruder alarm system was certified at IMQ - SECURITY SYSTEMS laboratories in conformity with European standards
EN 50131-1, EN 50131-3, and EN 50131-6 - Grade 2 or 3 - Environmental class II - general indoors.
The grade depends on how the system is constructed and/or configured.
With an ATS4 communicator connected, the MP500/8 and MP500/16 control panels respect notification options A and B –Grade 3.
With the telephone line connected, the MP500/4N, MP500/8, and MP500/16 control panels can respect the notification options A and B
- Grade 2.

1 - THE MP500/4N-MP500/8-MP500/16 SYSTEMS
This chapter illustrates the MP500/4N, MP500/8, and MP500/16 systems. More specifically, the following are analysed:
the main characteristics of the systems;
the system architecture and the maximum dimension possible;
the connectivity of systems towards to outside;
the various devices and accessories that make up the systems.
1.1 MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
The MP500/xx wired intrusion alarm systems are modular, suitable for small - mid-sized systems in residential, industrial, and service
settings.
The components and main functions of the system are certified Grade 3, according to EN50131 standards.
Keypads, readers and expansions are connected to the control panel microprocessor by a proprietary field bus.
Detectors, sirens, and other signals are instead connected to the inputs and outputs present in the control panels and in other devices
connected to the bus.
All the inputs can be configured for both type and specialisation.
The remote alarm notifications can be made with vocal message, text message, or numerical protocol (for the connection to alarm
reception units).
The system can be managed locally and remotely by means of a land line, cell phone, text message, and Internet.
Other functions available are:
Programming via PC equipped with Hi-Connect software (3.50 or higher).
Saving of the program on a USB pen drive to transfer the program between PCs and control panel or save a back-up copy.
Firmware device updates via USB interface with a pen drive
Technological signalling, that are activated by an event other than intrusion. Following an event of this type, the system can
command even specific actuations.
Advanced vocal alarm calls, that allow specific alarm messages to be sent for individual partitions and/or inputs.
Vocal message diffusion, system armed, system disarmed, system diagnostic information can be communicated to user via
hands-free vocal messages diffused by vocal keypad.
Service vocal message, the user may use any vocal keypad to issue a memo that will be reproduced locally until the subsequent
deactivation, by any vocal keypad.
Remote ambient listening function, enables the user to hear, via telephone, to what is happening in the environment, by
addressing up to 8 listening points through the vocal keypads.
Vocal help for remote management, used by the system to guide the user with vocal messages.
Door opener, the electric lock can be controlled via the customized output, limiting access to specific areas only to authorised
personnel. Date, time and user who have commanded the opening are recorded in the control panel.
Telephonic activation of an output without a connection charge. By taking advantage of the GSM telephone number
recognition by the control panel, it is possible to generate a command on the specific output and close communications after the
first 3-4 rings without charging for the call.
Advanced automation. Through the timing programmer built into the control panel, it is possible to arrange a series of automatic
and repetitive commands weekly.
Moreover, there are two auxiliary functions that are not in conformity with current laws that allow the guaranteed security of the system
to be increased easily and economically, without however replacing the dedicated systems:
Emergency response signal, which generates service signals when a dedicated button is activated or no movement is detected
in the controlled environment.
Fire alarm, which generates service signals from part of the control panel when fire detectors managed by the same are installed.
ATTENTION! If the “emergency response call” is required, it is necessary to have a remote emergency response system in
conformity with current legislation on this topic.
To create a system that fully meets all the requirements of a fire detection system, consult Elkron's general catalogue in the
Fire Prevention section.

1.2 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
1.2.1 Architecture
The diagram illustrates the devices and connections that can eventually be managed by the MP500/4N, MP500/8 and MP500/16
control panels. For the maximum dimensions the system can reach (combinations of devices and their maximum number) see the
paragraph 1.2.3 Maximum system size.
Figure 1 - System Architecture of the MP500/4N - MP500/8 - MP500/16
1.2.2 Bus Data
Control panel, keypads, readers, expansion modules and radio modules are interconnected by a 4-wire bus.
The 4 wires transmit information among the various devices and supply 12 V⎓power from the MP500/4N, MP500/8 or MP500/16
control panel to the keypad, readers, expansion modules, and radio modules.
The use of the bus noticeably simplifies the wiring, given that, for example, the information of a group of detectors located far from the
control panel and concentrated on a remote EP508 expansion module can be controlled with just 4 wires.
