INTRODUCTION
Elmes CB32 programmable, wireless alarm control panel is designed for use in anti-
burglary, anti-robbery, intrusion detection and access control installations in houses,
flats, shops, offices, etc. It operates with Elmes Electronic made wireless motion
detectors, glass break detectors, magnet contact detectors and key-fob transmitters. Its
three alarm signalling outputs with up to 1A current draw capacity, are intended for
connecting external signalling devices such as sirens, bells or strobes or, alarm
notification devices as phone dialer. The panel features a real-time clock, a non-editable
memory log of the last 256 events and emergency power supply from internal
rechargeable batteries. The backlit LCD panel and numeric keypad of the control panel
allow convenient handling and programming of the control panel. In the event of mains
power cut off, special procedures for minimization of energy consumption allow up to
72-hour operation of the control panel with the use of two 1800mAh AA type
rechargeable batteries. The control panel supports up to 16 system users and enables
monitoring of up to 32 wireless detectors identified as alarm zones. Each user and each
zone can have any user defined name with the length of 16 characters.
The CB32 control panel also supports wireless detectors in wired alarm systems. It may
be powered from the power supply line of the wired system, and its three signalling
outputs can be connected to the alarm detection terminals of a wired control panel.

KEYPAD USE AND ARMING METHODS
Daily handling of the alarm system with the CB32 control panel involves arming and
disarming of the system and checking possibly indicated alarm states. The control panel
is operated with the use of keypad buttons described below:
1,3,5,7,8,9,0 - - numeric buttons,
2▲,◄4, 6►, 8▼- - numeric and cursor buttons of the programming menus,
C - - cancel and programming menu exit button,
OK - - selection acceptance/confirm button.
Current status of the system – date/time, arming mode of the control panel are displayed
on the LCD while failure, alarm and arming information are indicated by two LED's:
"ALARM” – lights on (red) at alarm detection and flashes indicating panel failure.
Alarm signalling is cancelled after entering the main menu or on re-arming
the system. Failure signalling is cancelled after eliminating its cause.
“ARMED” – lights on (green) when the system is armed, flashes when exit delay time
is counted down.
The causes of alarms or failures can be checked after entering the main menu by longer
holding down the OK button.
Arming & disarming alarm system with the CB32 control panel.
The control panel allows selecting one of four arming/disarming methods. Disarming of
the control panel instantly silences activated alarm siren(s) in the system. Following are
four available methods of alarm system arming and disarming:
1. Arming/disarming the control panel in the default mode.
Arming and disarming of the control panel in the default mode is carried out by entering
user password (4 to 6 digits number) on the keypad followed by pressing OK button.
This method does not allow selection the day/night supervision alarm modes.
2. Arming/disarming with selection of the day/night mode.
This arming/disarming method is activated by setting the “Day/night mode” function to
on (Y), as described in item 8.7 of the Service Settings. Arming (setting alarm
supervision to on) and disarming (setting alarm supervision to off) is performed by
- 4 -
entering valid password code on keypad followed by the OK button and then selecting
one of “1”,”2”,”3”, or “4” buttons for required supervision mode, as displayed on LCD:
“1 - disarm” - disarming the alarm – “disarmed” status appears on the display. “active
24h” anti-tamper zones remain armed.
“2 - arm” - arming the alarm. On end of the exit delay (signalled acoustically and
optically with displayed time countdown on the LCD panel), all alarm
zones are armed (*). “Armed” status appears on the display.
“3 - day” - instant arming of the alarm in the day supervision mode. The zones
earlier defined as “day armed” and the “active 24h” zones are armed (as
in item 3.1). The “day mode” message appears on the screen.
“4 - night” - arming the alarm in the night supervision mode. On end of exit delay
(signalled both acoustically and optically) all alarm zones are armed (*),
except for earlier defined as “night blocked” (as in item 3.1). The “night
armed” message appears on the screen.
(*) blocked zones are not armed in any of the above modes.
3. Arming/disarming using a remote control transmitter.
The CB32 control panel can operate with Elmes remote control transmitters (e.g.
UMB100H, AN200H) in two ways described below:
A. Remote control arming and disarming the system - as equivalent to
arming/disarming the system from the keypad in the “2-arm” and “1-disarm” modes.
The “3-day” and “4-night” modes are unavailable. Pressing the remote control
button produces one long beep and the exit delay is started. On end of the exit delay,
the system is armed. When the remote control button is pressed again, 3 short beeps
are produced and the system will be disarmed. If an intruder alarm occurred while in
armed mode, 5 short beeps will be produced on disarming with the remote control.
Remote arming/disarming mode is activated by setting the “Remote
Arming/Disarming” function to (Y) in item 8.1 of the service settings.
B. Remote control activating entry delay only – possible with ”remote blocked” zone
type (as in item 3.1). Activating the entry delay is signalled by 3 short beeps. Both
arming and disarming of the system is done by entering valid password on the
keypad. Failure to disarm the control panel and violation of the “remote blocked”
zone during the exit delay countdown will generate intruder alarm on end of the
entry delay.
This mode is activated by setting the “Remote Arming/Disarming” function to (N) in
item 8.1 of the service settings.
4. Arming the system with bypassing selected alarm zones.
If, in the course of arming the system, one of the zones detects intrusion, the response of
the system depends on whether the zone was earlier defined as “allow neglect” type (see
item 3.1.h) and will be as described below:
If the status of the zone is “allow neglect” (Y) – the system prompts whether to arm the
system without arming the intruded zone and produces two long beeps when arming

- 5 -
was done with the use of the remote control. Acceptance by OK button or by the use of
the remote control arms the system bypassing that zone. Any other button or no
response from the user cancels arming procedure.
If the zone is not defined as “allow neglect” (N) – the control panel will display
message “Violated zone” with its name and the system will not arm. In that case, the
cause of the security violation should be cleared and a new arming attempt be made.
SELECTED FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION
MONITOR OF ALARM DETECTORS
Elmes CB32 control panel allows testing the operation of wireless detectors installed in
alarm zones by simultaneous display of their on/off status. To activate that function
button 1 on the keypad must be pressed and hold down until two 16 points lines scale
appear on the LCD panel. The displayed points represent all 32 wireless detectors that
can operate with the CB32 control panel. Any detector activated in the system produces
“*” mark to be momentarily displayed on the LCD at point position corresponding to
alarm zone number to which the detector was learned. Tamper switch activation in the
detector produces the “S” symbol to be displayed in the corresponding zone point on the
scale. Next pressing and holding button 1 exits from this function mode.
ANTI-SABOTAGE PROTECTION OF EXTERNAL DEVICES
Connecting Tamper switches of external devices (e.g. phone dialer or siren) as shown
on the diagram of Fig.2 enables anti-sabotage protection of these devices. Cutting off or
short-circuiting of the tamper wire generates sabotage alarm in zone 32 of the control
panel. If the TAMP terminal is not used, it should be shorted to the GND terminal with
10 kOhm resistor.
ALARM NOTIFICATION BY GSM PHONE (OPTIONAL)
The CB32 control panel can operate with a GSM phone for intruder alarm and power
cut off monitoring. If an alarm occurs, the control panel sends SMS message notifying
of the alarm to two phone numbers along with information on the intruder alarm source
zone. Also, CLIP notification calls are sent to these phone numbers. AC power supply
cut off alarm and AC supply restoration are also notified in the form of SMS messages.
GSM phones accepting AT commands may be used to this function, e.g. Siemens C65,
C60, CX65. A list of GSM phones recommended for operation with the CB32 control
panel is available on the manufacturer’s website: www.elmes.pl
To connect GSM phone with the CB32 control panel, a dedicated interface cable with
integrated phone charger is required and may be optionally ordered from the seller.
MAIN MENU
To access the main menu of the CB32 panel, press and hold down the OK button for
more than 2 seconds. You can navigate the menu using the cursor keys. If the keypad is
not used for longer than 2 minutes the menu exits and returns display of the current
status of the control panel on the LCD panel.

I. Alarm Memory.
In this menu the user can view details of the last alarms: date, time and zone of the
alarm(s) source. The use of ▲▼ buttons selects an earlier or later event respectively,
and the use of ◄► buttons changes the method of displaying the alarm source – from
numeric to descriptive, e.g.: zone No. 5 ↔kitchen.
II. Failure Check.
This menu is designed to view the causes of the failures signalled on the control panel
by flashing the “ALARM” LED. Failures signalled on the control panel include:
Mains power supply failure.
Rechargeable battery failure or absence.
Communication problem with the detector.
Detector’s low battery with zone identification.
Communication problem with GSM phone.
The ▲▼buttons are used to scroll through signalled failures.
The “ALARM” LED stops flashing when the cause of failure is cleared.
III. Service Settings.
Access to this menu is available only if the control panel is not armed and upon entering
a valid password code confirmed by OK button. Factory setting of the password for the
user No. 1 is “„0000”. Exit from the menu and cancelling entries is made by the use of
C button. Users Nos. 1-4 (administrators) have access to all functions whereas other
users can access functions 1-2 only. All editable service functions available in this menu
are described further on.
1. Password Change.
Service settings →Password change
This menu allows changing user’s own password code. Passwords of other users can be
changed in the “Users” menu (see item 5). After accessing this menu “Enter password”
prompt appears. Enter the new password code containing 3 to 6 digits, and then press
OK. When the “Repeat password” prompt appears, enter a new password code and
press OK. The new password replaces the old one. In case of entering an existing or
incorrect password “Wrong password” message appears.
2. Event Memory.
Service settings →Event memory
This menu allows viewing detailed information concerning last 256 events (alarms,
failures, arming, disarming, errors, etc.) that occurred in the system. The event memory
cannot be edited, and allows only viewing the event details in the sequence of their
occurring. The ▲▼ buttons select an earlier or later event respectively while the ◄►
buttons change the method of displaying the alarm source, e.g.: zone No. 5 ↔kitchen,
user No. 3 ↔John Smith, etc.

- 7 -
3. Zone Settings.
3.1. Zone type.
Service Settings →Zone settings →Zone type
Elmes CB32 control panel allows up to 32 wireless alarm zones (32 detectors) in a
system. Operation mode of a zone can be defined by selecting (turned on) one or more
of attributes listed below:
a) “disabled” - disabled zone (permanently turned off),
b) “active 24h” - 24 hour zone, e.g. anti-sabotage zone (permanently armed).
c) “day armed” - zone armed in the day supervision mode,
d) “night blocked” - zone blocked in the night supervision mode,
e) “remote blocked” - delayed entry zone turned on by remote control,
f) “delayed” - standard entry zone with a delay,
g) “chime type” - zone with door chime feature providing a sound from the
keypad each time zone is violated,
h) “allow neglect” - this zone may be left disarmed if violated on system arming.
In the menu, the ▲▼ buttons are used to select the zone number and the ◄► buttons
to switch between displaying the zone number and zone name, e.g.: zone No. 1 ↔
kitchen. On accepting selection with OK button the ▲▼ buttons are used to select zone
type function as in items a)….h) above. Functions can be turned on (Y) or off (N) with
the OK button. The C button exits zone type selection.
IMPORTANT: Zones can have more than one function turned on, but some functions
are mutually exclusive. In such case only one setting is valid e.g.:
-if a zone is “disabled” all other settings have no meaning,
-if a zone is “active 24h”, then setting such as “day armed”, “night blocked”,
“delayed”, and “allow neglect” have no meaning.
Examples of alarm zone type settings:
•a typical alarm zone has none of the above attributes selected: it is in supervision
mode when the system is “armed” or “night armed”, and disarmed when the system
is in the “disarmed” or “day armed “ mode,
•the entry zone can be “remote blocked” i.e. after using remote control button, the
entry delay countdown is started. Security violation in the zone during the
countdown will not generate the alarm immediately, but after the countdown is
finished. That allows user enough time for safe disarming the system,
•the entry zone can also be a delayed zone: i.e. after the zone is violated, the entry
delay countdown starts in order to not cause the alarm the system must be disarmed
before the countdown is finished,
•the “chime type” zone which often is also a “delayed” or “remote blocked” zone,
generates two beep sound signals on every violation of the zone (e.g. informing
about an entry to the shop),
•a basement zone can be “day armed”, but it cannot be “active 24h” simultaneously,
- 8 -
•the “allow neglect” zone type allows arming the alarm while intentionally leaving a
window protected by CTX3H or CTX4H detector opened. The “Neglect?” prompt
and the name of this zone will appear during arming. The OK button confirms
selection, and the C button exits from arming.
3.2. Zone name.
Service settings →Zone settings →Zone name
Every alarm zone used in the system may have user defined 16-character name, e.g.:
kitchen, living room, office, Mark’s Room, etc. Uppercase and lowercase letters, digits
and the following characters: space and “-,./” are allowed.
In this menu, select zone number with the ▲▼ buttons, accept with the OK button and
start defining the name. The ◄► buttons select the successive letters of the name, and
the ▲▼ buttons browse the character table. Accept the name with OK button. The use
of C button cancels selection and exits the menu.
3.3. Learning detectors.
Service settings →Zone settings →Learning detectors
Entering this menu use the ▲▼ buttons to select zone number, and the ◄► buttons to
toggle between displaying the zone number and zone name, e.g.: zone 1 ↔kitchen. The
OK button accepts all selections. If a detector is already learned to the zone, the “OK-
remove” prompt will appear on the LCD. If the zone is free, the “OK-enter” will appear
on the LCD. In the first case, the use of OK button removes (deletes) the detector from
the zone while in the second case OK button starts learning procedure for detector. In
response to the “Awaiting trans. 1” and “Awaiting trans. 2” messages, trigger two
successive alarm transmissions from detector (*).Correct learning will be followed by
“OK-correct” message. Errors are signalled with 3 beeps and by the “Program error”
message. The use of C button exits the menu.
(*) For the PTX50 detector – by setting “Test” mode and hand movement over the
lens. For the CTX3H and CTX4H – by moving the magnet away from the reed relay.
As in case of GBX1, transmissions learning the detector to a receiver appear for a while
after connecting battery. For detailed information please refer to detector’s manuals.
3.4. RF range test.
Service settings →Zone settings →RF range test
To assess the level of radio signals received from detectors, the most distant detectors in
particular, the CB32 panel is provided with “RF range test” function allowing the
received signal levels to be displayed on 16-point bar graph scale of LCD.
After entering this menu all RF signals in the 433.92MHz radio band will be displayed
in form of bar graph. The detectors should be triggered to send alarm transmissions. The
longer the distance of the detector from the control panel, or the greater difficulty in
radio waves propagation, the lower the level of received signals and the length of the
displayed bar graph. If the number of displayed fields is lower than three it must be
assumed that this connection does not guarantee reliable alarming. The location of
detectors or the control panel should be changed in search for better connection quality.
The “RF range test” function allows assessing the level of all local RF signals in the

- 9 -
433.92MHz band, also those that can interfere and disturb operation of the wireless
alarm system. The test should be performed prior to permanent installation of alarm
equipment or, in searching for causes of short range of detector’s operation. To find out
any interfering signals, the LCD bar graph 16-point scale readouts should be observed
without activation of own detectors. Frequent or continuous unknown RF signals
received and signalled on the control panel display indicate close presence of other RF
devices operating in the 433.92MHz band. If level of these signals exceeds three fields
displayed in the “RF range test” function and their occurrence is frequent, acceptable
signals from detectors may not be received and the alarm system may fail to operate
properly.
4. Outputs settings.
Service Settings →Outputs settings
In this menu, the intended use of wired outputs of the control panel can be defined. The
OUT 1 output is designed exclusively for connecting external signalling device and can
be sabotage protected (see item 8.4 of service settings). The use of the OUT 2-3 wired
outputs can be as follows:
“alarm” - for connection of outdoor/external alarm signalling devices, e.g.
external siren or/and strobe, with user programmable alarming
time 0-999s (see item 6.4 in service settings), shorting output to
ground (GND) when the system is armed,
“power failure” - signalling mains power supply off by shorting the output to
ground (GND),
“arm/disarm” - signalling arming/disarming of the system by shorting the output
to ground (GND) on system arming.
Example: if the “arm/disarm” signalling mode is selected at OUT 2 and the output is
connected to powered external LED, lamp, etc., it will switch on the device for as long
as system is armed warning of the security system being in supervision state. The
“arm/disarm” mode can also be used for remote control. For example, operated with
Elmes ST100HGR controller it may control opening/closing of window rollers.
Signalling mode at OUT 2-3 outputs is set by accessing the menu, selecting output
number and type of signalling with the ▲▼ buttons and accepting with OK button.
5. System Users - adding, editing and removing a user.
Service Settings →System Users
Elmes CB32 control panel allows up to 16 system users, each with own password code,
name and remote control. After accessing this menu and selecting a user with a given
number using the ▲▼ buttons, the user’s status will appear on the panel:
“Active” - a user has a password and/or a remote control - the user can arm and
disarm the system.
“Not active” - a user does not have a password nor a remote control - the user
cannot arm/disarm the system.
The ◄►buttons toggle between displaying the user number and user name, e.g.: user
No. 3 ↔John Smith.

There are 4 modes available then: 1 - disarmed, 2 - armed, 3 – day, 4 – night (see:
“Arming/disarming the control panel”). When the “day/night mode” function is set off
(N), the alarm system can be armed and disarmed by entering password code followed
by OK button. It is not possible to select day or night arming modes.

NOTE: Arming the alarm with a remote control does not allow the “Day/night mode”.
8.8. Turning on the panic alarm (call for help function).
Service Settings →Other functions →Panic alarm
Turning this function on (Y) allows the user equipped with a remote control to activate
the panic alarm (call for help). The alarm is activated when the remote control switch is
pressed for more than 2 seconds. Panic alarm lasts for as long as the alarming time set
on the OUT 1 output. The event is registered as the panic alarm along with name of the
user who set the alarm on. With a GSM phone connected, an appropriate SMS message
is sent. Entering a valid password code or the use of the remote control, when the
“Remote arming/disarming” (item 8.1) function is selected, will set the alarm off.
RESETTING PASSWORD CODE OF USER 1
If valid password code is forgotten and there is a need to enter the Service Settings
menu, the default factory code “0000” for user No 1 can be restored. In order to do that:

DESIGNING ALARM SYSTEM
Designing and installation of a wireless alarm system with the Elmes CB32 control
panel should begin with careful planning of arrangement of detectors, control panel and
an outdoor siren. To ensure satisfactory protection of premises a variety of detectors
may be needed. Elmes PTX50 wireless motion detector and Elmes CTX3H or CTX4H
wireless magnet contact detectors should be installed in each protected room with
window. Additionally, Elmes GBX1 wireless glass break detector could be installed for
advanced protection of windows in premises and shops. When installing the detectors
respective manual instructions must be followed.
It is highly recommended that before permanent installation of detectors or control
panel operating range tests should be undertaken to confirm reliable communication of
the devices with the CB32 panel. The RF range test function of the panel allows
evaluation of the radio signals received from detectors and determine operation range.
This function is easily available in Service Settings menu (item 3.4) and can also be
useful in detecting any interfering radio signals. If signals received by the control panel
are weak, there may be a need to relocate installation places of some detectors or the
control panel. In extreme cases, it is recommended that Elmes TRX transceiver
(repeater) be used to ensure proper communication in the system.
In each case, installation place of detector is individually determined. The placement of
the panel itself however, should meet requirements of the protected premises access
(e.g. not just next to the door or in place easily accessible to outsiders) also, with
protection against mechanical damage in mind. Recommended way of disarming the
alarm system is to activate time delay from outside of the premises with the use of a
- 14 -
remote control transmitter. It allows safe opening the entrance door, accessing the
keypad inside and disarming the system entering password code. The entry delay time
programmed by an installer or a user should be sufficient for convenient and stressless
reaching keypad of the panel and entering the password code.
The CB32 control panel may also be installed in place such as bedroom or study room,
allowing complete elimination of the entry/exit delay time. In that case, arming and
disarming of the alarm system can be made only with the use of a remote control from
the outside of the premises. It will be audibly signalled by an internal siren or optically
by LED or a lamp connected to an output configured to arming/disarming signalling.
In addition to the above described options of the CB32 panel allowing secure wireless
alarm installation, there are also the option of arming alarm system in the night mode
with selected rooms excluded from supervision (e.g. bedroom, corridor), as well as the
day mode in which only the selected rooms (e.g. cellar, garage) are supervised. All the
options and functions of the alarm system designed with the use of CB32 control panel
are user selected and programmed in the Service Settings menu of the panel.
POWER SUPPLY SOLUTIONS
Connecting power supply to the CB32 panel should begin with screwing in a wire of the
included AC power pack to +/- terminals on the board. Plugging the pack to 230VAC
outlet back lits the LCD panel and displays software version followed by initial date
(day_month), time (hour: minute: second:) and status: “disarmed”. Flashing “ALARM”
LED signals batteries absence. As backup power supply, two AA size NiMH type
rechargeable batteries could be installed now observing correct polarity (+/-) marked in
the compartments. After initial charging “ALARM” LED will stop flashing.
CAUTION! Use AA size NiMH type rechargeable batteries only with recommended
capacity of 1500 to 2000mAh. The use of other types of batteries with AC power supply
pack connected (battery charging) is prohibited and may cause damage.
The use of batteries with lower capacity than recommended could not guarantee 72
hours of emergency operation. After the first 25-30 hours of panel operation (batteries
first charging) the power pack should be disconnected, and the batteries discharged by
supplying the control panel from the batteries only. Discharged batteries will be
recognised by the LCD panel cease to display any message. The AC power pack should
be mains plugged again to restore panel operation and charge the batteries. This forming
operation will allow optimal capacity of the batteries.
Operating in wired alarm environment with system backup battery Elmes CB32 control
panel may be powered from 13,6 VDC detector line voltage. In that case however,
batteries cannot be installed in the CB32 and the “AKU failure signalling” should be set
to off (item 8.6 of Service Settings). The system backup battery acts as emergency
power supply to entire alarm including the CB32 panel. It is also recommended to set
off alarming on the internal siren of the panel (item 8.5 of S.S.).
Exactly the same settings need to be made when the CB32 control panel and outdoor
devices (siren, dialer, etc.) are power supplied from external buffered power pack with
own backup battery, as shown on diagram in Fig. 2.

- 15 -
NOTE: By default the manufacturer delivers the control panel with the anti-sabotage
zone 32 disabled and the anti-sabotage of OUT 1 output set off allowing connection of
external siren and power supply to the CB32 panel without activating sabotage alarm.
After making these connections, inserting the batteries and closing the panel cabinet, the
anti-sabotage protection in zone 32 should be enabled, i.e. set disabled zone 32 to (N).
ALARM SYSTEM WITH ELMES CB32 CONTROL PANEL
An alarm system may be less or more complex depending on individual needs. Simplest
alarm may consist of only few detectors and the control panel with its internal siren for
audible alarm signalling, while complex alarm system would have a full range of
detectors in addition to internal and external signalling devices and GSM phone
notification.
The diagram presented on the next page shows an example of a complex alarm system
with the use of Elmes PTX50 wireless motion detectors, Elmes CTX3H and Elmes
CTX4H magnet contact (open & close signalling function) detectors, GBX glass break
detector, Elmes UBM100H remote control for activating entry delay and panic alarm,
wired external siren, phone dialer or GSM phone and Elmes CB32 control panel. The
system should be power supplied from a dedicated buffered power pack with integral
backup battery. Other advisory examples of alarm configurations based on Elmes CB32
wireless control panel are presented on Fig.1 and Fig.2.
Connecting external equipment such as sirens, AC power supply or phone dialer to the
CB32 control panel terminals, wiring should be made through a large installation hole
and a cable groove in the bottom part of the cabinet. Suggested installation of the
control panel is in vertical position, e.g. on the wall at the height of approx. 1.20 to
1.40m, allowing convenient entering keypad commands by user.

The configuration procedure for an exemplary alarm system described further assumes
that the user will use a remote control to activate the entry delay. It is recommended to
make basic settings, learn detectors and carry out the first tests in one workshop place
(e.g. on a table) before permanent installation in the rooms. Following are some basic
essential steps to be taken at first wireless alarm system configuration setting:

- 17 -

.
. Unpack the CB32 control panel, first connect the included AC power pack and
then insert rechargeable batteries according to polarity (+/-) marked inside the
control panel cabinet.

.
. Enter the Service Settings menu by pressing and holding down the OK button
(initial password: 0000), and set current date and time (item 6.1 of Service
Settings). Enter a new password code (item 5 of S.S.), the name of the first user and
program (add) a remote control to the user.

.
. Unpack wireless detectors: Elmes PTX50 (motion), CTX3H or CTX4H magnet
contacts (opening/closing) and GBX1 (glass break), install batteries and configure
according to the included manuals and requirements of the configured system.

.
. Learn detectors to the alarm zones of the control panel (max. 32 - item 3.3) and test
their operation with the “Monitor of Alarm Detectors” function of the CB32 control
panel (see page 5).

.
. Set the zone with the entry detector as a “remote blocked” zone (item 3.1.e of S.S.).
6
6
6.
.
. Set the entry delay time (item 6.2) according to individual requirements.
The above steps allow first workshop tests of the constructed alarm system. The CB32
panel’s internal siren will audibly signal all alarms and arming/disarming commands.
After initial testing the control panel and detectors could be installed in selected places,
while checking for the level of the radio signals received from each detector by the
control panel (“RF range test”- item 3.4 of S.S.). Other person help may be needed to
activate detectors while the signal level readouts are watched and evaluated.
To enable the anti-sabotage signalling of detaching the control panel from wall, the
square piece of the backside plastic over the anti-sabotage (tamper) switch should be
removed.
With the system installed and tested in basic configuration, other devices such as an
outdoor siren/strobe device, phone dialer or a GSM phone can be added. Also, some
other functions of the CB32 panel such as anti-sabotage of the OUT 1 output (item 8.4),
disable signalling on the internal siren (item 8.5) or the RF link test between detectors
and the control panel, can be defined and set. New users with names (item 5) can be
added as well as names of alarm zones can be defined (item 3.2).
WIRING DIAGRAMS
In sample installation in Fig. 2, an external siren, phone dialer, GSM phone and a
buffered power pack (Z1) ensuring operation of the system at AC power failure, were
used. In such case, the use of any batteries in the CB32 control panel is not allowed.
The power pack supplies power to control panel, external siren and phone dialer. The
GSM phone is powered by optional dedicated AC power supply with SMS data cable
connected to a white socket on the panel pc board. The external siren should be
connected to OUT 1 alarm output. OUT 2 output signals the armed/disarmed status
while OUT 3 – failure of 230VAC mains power. All three outputs may be connected to
a phone dialer.
