INTRODUCTION
Elmes CB32 is a programmable, wireless alarm control panel designed for use in anti-
burglary, anti-robbery, intrusion detection and access control installations in houses, apart-
ments and offices. It operates with any Elmes Electronic made wireless detectors, transmitter
RP501, remote control transmitters and some wired detectors. Its three 1A current fused
alarm signaling outputs are intended for connecting external signaling devices such as sirens,
bells strobes and automatic alarm notification devices as phone dialer. The panel features a
real-time clock, non-editable memory log of last 256 events and may be programmed, if con-
nected to Elmes GSM module, to send SMS alarm notifications, status and event monitoring
as well as be armed and disarmed by mobile phone. The backlit LCD displays appropriate sta-
tus information while numeric keypad allows convenient handling and programming of the
control panel. In the event of AC power failure, dedicated software procedures initiate low en-
ergy consumption mode allowing 72-hour panel autonomy operation with just two internal
1800mAh AA type rechargeable batteries. The panel supports up to 16 system users and en-
ables monitoring of up to 32 wireless and two parametric wired detectors identified as alarm
zones. Each user and alarm zone can have any user defined 16 characters name.
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 signaling 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 only buttons,
2▲,◄4, 6►, 8▼ - - numeric and menu selection cursor buttons,
C - - cancel and menu exit button,
OK - - selection acceptance & confirmation 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 LEDs:
"ALARM” –lights on (red) at alarm detection and flashes indicating system failure. Alarm sig-
nalling is cancelled after entering the main menu or re-arming the system. Fail-
ure 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 system failures can be viewed upon entering main menu by holding
down OK button and next selecting Alarm Memory or Failure Check submenu.
ARMING & DISARMING OF ALARM SYSTEM.
Arming and disarming of alarm system with CB32 panel may be done from the control panel
keypad, by remote control transmitter (later referred to as a “remote”) or mobile phone SMS or
CLIP. Disarming alarm stops alarming and silences alarm sirens.
1. Arming & disarming alarm from CB32 panel keypad.
There are two possible methods of arming and disarming using the keypad depending on the
system ”day/night” operation mode selection, see Service Settings (S.S.) pt. 8.7:
1. By entering user’s password followed by OK the system will arm if in disarmed state or dis-
arm if in armed state (day/night mode is not selected “N” - pt. 8.7).
2. By entering user’s password followed by OK the system allows a choice of one of four su-
pervision modes selected with “1”,”2”,”3”,“4” keypad buttons (day/night mode is selected “Y” –
pt. 8.7.), as described further:
“1 - disarm” - disarming the alarm –“disarmed” status appears on display. “active 24h” an-
ti-tamper zones remain armed.
“2 - arm” - arming the alarm. On end of the exit delay (signalled acoustically and optical-
ly with displayed time countdown on the LCD panel), all alarm zones are
armed (*). “Armed” status appears on display.
“3 - day” - partial arming of the alarm in day supervision mode. The zones earlier de-
fined as “day armed” and the “active 24h” zones are armed (as in pt. 3.1).
The “day mode” message appears on display.

- 4 -
“4 - night” - partial arming the alarm in the night supervision mode. At the end of exit de-
lay (signalled acoustically and optically) all alarm zones are armed (*), except
for earlier defined as „night disabled” (as in pt. 3.1.). The “night armed” mes-
sage appears on display.
(*) Permanently disabled zones are not armed in any of the above modes!
2. Operating Elmes CB32 panel using a remote.
The CB32 control panel can be remotely operated by the use of Elmes Electronic made re-
mote control transmitters (e.g. one channel UMB100HT, two channels DWB100HT or four
channels CH4HT) in two ways, as described below:
2.1 Arming and disarming the system.
One channel remote, e.g. UMB100HT. By pressing control button of one channel transmit-
ter learned to CB32 panel would produce a single loud beep (*) and starts exit delay time.
On end of the exit delay the alarm system is armed. Next pressing of the same control
button would produce two loud beeps (*) and the system will disarm. If alarm occurred
while in the system armed state, five loud beeps (*) would be produced on system disarm-
ing.
Two channels remote, e.g. DW100HT. Operation mode of the remote depends on settings
made at pt 5.7.
Four channels remote, e.g. CH4HT. Button 1 (green) disarms alarm system, button 2
(red) arms, button 3 (blue) arms in night mode, button 4 (grey) arms in day mode.
2.2 Remote activates entry delay only.
This mode is possible if „Remote sets on delay” function is selected in S.S. pt. 8.1. Press-
ing remote button activates entry delay signalled by two loud beeps (*) and “remote de-
layed” zone type is disabled for as long as the entry delay time is set. While in entry delay,
disarming of the system should be done by entering valid password from the keypad. Fail-
ure to disarm control panel and violation of “remote delayed” zone during entry delay will
set up intruder alarm at the end of delay.
(*) Loud signal beeps can also be produced by an external siren wired to OUT1 (see pt. 9.4),
then beeps from internal siren are at lower volume, or by wireless Elmes WSS siren ( see pt.
9.5 of S.S.).
3. Arming & disarming using a mobile phone.
When Elmes GSM module is connected to Elmes CB32 control panel, alarm system can be
armed and disarmed remotely from mobile phone using SMS command or CLIP call.
4. Arming the system bypassing selected alarm zones.
If, in the course of arming the system from control panel keypad, remote or mobile phone
SMS or CLIP, one of the zones detects intrusion, the response of the system depends on
whether the zone was earlier defined as “bypass” type (see item 3.1.g) and will be as follows:
-if the zone is defined as “bypass” type (Y) –the system generates 3 beeps and, if
arming using keypad or remote transmitter only, prompts whether to arm the system
without arming the intruded zone. Acceptance with the use panel OK button or re-
mote button arms the system bypassing that zone. The use of any other button or no
response (>8s) cancels arming procedure. Arming using mobile phone will arm the
system and in return SMS will be received informing of the bypassed zone.
-if the zone is not defined as “bypass” type (N) –the control panel produces 3 beeps
and displays message “Violated zones” with zone name and system will not arm. In
that case, the cause of the zone violation should be cleared off and a new arming
should be made. While arming from mobile phone, the system will respond by send-
ing SMS with information on violated zones.

CB32 SELECTED FUNCTIONS DESCRIPTION
Alarm detector monitor
Elmes CB32 control panel allows testing the operation of all 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 momentari-
ly 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 mark “S” to be dis-
played in the corresponding zone point on the scale. Exit from this function is made by next
holding down button “1” of keypad.
Anti-sabotage of protection of external devices
Connecting TAMPER switches of external devices (e.g. phone dialler or siren) as shown on
the diagram of Fig.2 enables anti-sabotage protection of these devices. Cutting off or shorting
of the tamper wire generates sabotage alarm in zone 32 of the control panel. If the TAMP
terminal is not used, it must be shorted to the GND terminal with 1kOhm resistor (supplied).
The TAMP input terminal may be used to connect any parametric wired alarm detector to the
CB32 control panel.
Operation with wired alarm detectors
Two parametric zones of the CB32 control panel allow connection of any wired alarm detec-
tors with NC (normally closed) output terminals. Input EXT of the panel connects wired detec-
tor to alarm zone 31 while input TAMP may be used to connect wired detector to alarm zone
32. Detectors’outputs wiring should be parametric configured using resistors (supplied) with
one end wired to the GND terminal, as shown on fig. 1 of the manual. Wired detectors are
recognized by the panel the same way as wireless detectors. Alarms are detected in the zone
type selected by installer while sabotage protection is supervised as 24h type zone, perma-
nently armed. Parametric resistors should be terminal connected inside wired detector’s hous-
ing. Powering of wired detectors is to be made from external AC/DC power pack of the panel.
To ensure detector’s proper operation at AC power failure, power pack with integral battery
backup may be optionally installed (buffered power pack).
IMPORTANT: Zones 31 and 32 of CB32 panel are factory set “disabled”. When wired detector
is installed, the zone with wired detector must be enabled –see S.S. pt. 3.4.
Operation with remote control transmitter (remote)
The use of Elmes made remote to operate with Elmes CB32 control panel allows remote arm-
ing/disarming of alarm system as well as enables entry delay time for disarming from panel’s
keypad. Also, panic alarm may be triggered using a remote. Detailed description of remote
functions can be found in pt. 2 of Arming & Disarming of Alarm System section. Learning a
remote to CB32 panel is made according to S.S. pt. 5.3. In addition, in “Auxiliary functions set-
tings” menu pt. 8.1, a selection must be made as to whether the remote arms/disarms the sys-
tem or sets on entry delay only. Also, in pt. 8.8 –a selection whether panic alarm is required
or not and in pt. 9.4 and pt. 9.5 whether the use of a remote should be signalled on external
siren.
Operation with external wireless siren
The Elmes CB32 wireless panel can operate with dedicated external wireless sound and
strobe siren Elmes WSS that features integral transceiver module allowing periodical siren
presence test. The siren is powered by external mains power pack (delivered with the siren)
that recharges internal, not serviceable, sealed battery being siren’s main source of power
supply. The following steps are required to set Elmes WSS wireless siren operates with the
CB32 control panel:

- 6 -
1. Learn the siren to alarm zone line 29 of the CB32 panel by selecting detector learning
mode (see pt. 3.3) and activating the siren to transmit alarm signals in one of the three
ways, as below:
a. Connecting siren’s battery while mains power supply is off.
b. Connecting or disconnecting mains power while battery is connected.
c. Activating siren’s housing top cover sabotage switch.
2. Set required alarming time at OUT1 of the panel that equals to alarming time of the wire-
less siren (pt. 6.4).
3. Set required time interval (1 to 99 minutes –20 minutes as standard) between which wire-
less siren presence is tested (as described in S.S. pt. 6.5) and enable radio link testing (pt.
8.3).
4. Choose the way alarm system signals that radio link between wireless siren and the control
panel is in fault. If the system is expected to set on loud alarm along with failure indication
by LED, the function in pt. 8.11 should be set to ON. If only failure indication by LED is re-
quired then the function should be OFF.
5. If control panel is armed/disarmed from a remote (pt. 8.1), its use signalling on external si-
ren can be set off (see pt. 9.4 and 9.5).
NOTICE! To avoid loud TAMPER alarm during maintenance service or installation when si-
ren’s housing is to be opened, temporarily disable alarm zone line 29.
Operation with Elmes GSM module.
If CB32 control panel operates with connected Elmes GSM module, the following features are
available: remote arming and disarming of alarm system by SMS or CLIP call, alarm system
status notification, remote disabling of alarm zones, SMS notifications to up to 8 mobile
phones on alarms, arming/disarming, AC supply failure and return as well as system failures.
Notifications include information of the source of the event. In case of intruder alarm and sab-
otage alarm, control panel makes also a CLIP call to registered phone numbers. It may also
operate with any GSM mobile monitoring system by responding to its test signals and sending
cyclic SMS notes or making CLIP calls.
Optional Elmes GSM module set includes battery and connection cable to communicate with
CB32 panel and charge module’s battery. With Elmes GSM connected, the CB32 current
draw increases by 200 mA (see specification).
CB32 panel configuration and firmware upgrade using PC
Starting from version 3.00 of firmware, the CB32 control panel can be easily configured and
firmware upgraded with the use of Windows® based PC (Personal Computer). To connect the
panel to PC a dedicated USB-RS interface cable is needed (ordered separately). Also, instal-
lation of virtual COM port drivers at the PC are necessary. The drivers as well as dedicated
“CB32 Configurator” configuration software are free for download from the panel manufacturer
web site: www.elmes.pl .
Before any data is send to or received from the CB32 panel, the following installation steps
should be followed:
1. Select serial COM port that appears new in “CB32 Configurator” options after connecting
the USB-RS interface cable to PC.
2. By holding down button “2” of the panel’s keypad at power on, force the panel to set up
communication mode with PC. Displayed flashing “?” sign on panel’s LCD confirms the mode
has been entered.

3.1. Assigning functions to alarm zones.
Service Settings → Zone settings → Zone function
In this menu Elmes CB32 control panel allows assigning functions to alarm zones. Buttons
▲▼ select one of the functions described below while ◄► buttons allow setting the function
ON (Y) or OFF (N). The use of OK button accepts the selection while the use of C button can-
cels changes and exits the menu without saving changes.
a) “24h” - 24 hour zone, e.g. anti-sabotage zone (permanently armed),
b) “day armed” - zone armed in day supervision mode selection,
c) “night disabled” - zone disabled in night supervision mode,
d) “remote delayed” - zone with entry delay set on by remote control transmitter,
e) “delayed” - standard entry zone with delayed alarming,
f) “chime” - zone with door chime beep feature on zone violation,
g) “bypass” - zone that can be left disarmed if violated on system arming.
A standard zone has functions a)..c) set off in armed state mode, when the system is “armed”
or in “night armed” mode and disarmed when the system is “disarmed” or in “day armed"
mode. IMPORTANT: Zones can have assigned more than one function, but some functions
exclude others. In that case, only one selection is valid, e.g.:
-if a zone is “active 24h” then functions such as “day armed”, “night delayed”, “delayed”,
and “bypass” have no meaning;
-if a zone is delayed, it should not be disabled by remote.
Examples of assigning functions to alarm zones:
Entry zone can be “remote delayed”, i.e. after using remote button 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 sufficient time for safe
disarming the system.
Entry zone can also be a delayed zone, i.e. when the zone is violated, the entry delay
countdown starts and the system must be disarmed before the countdown is finished. If
system is not disarmed an audible alarming sets on.
The “chime type” zone which often is also a “delayed” or “remote delayed” zone, gener-
ates two beeps sound signal on every violation of the zone (e.g. notifying customer en-
trance to a store).
A basement zone can be “day armed” but it cannot be “active 24h” simultaneously.
A „bypass” zone type allows arming the alarm while intentionally leaving a window
opened protected by CTX3H or CTX4H detector (see “System Arming”).
3.2. Zone name.
Service settings → Zone settings → Zone name
This menu allows alarm zones used in the system to have user defined up to 16-character
name, e.g.: kitchen, living room, office, Mark’s Room, etc. Uppercase and lowercase letters,
digits and the following characters are accepted: space, “-,./”.
Buttons ◄► select the successive letters of the name while the ▲▼ buttons browse charac-
ter table. Accept name with OK button. Use C button to exit the menu.
3.3. Learning wireless detectors.
Service settings → Zone settings → Learning detectors
In this menu use the ▲▼ buttons to select zone number, and the ◄► buttons to toggle be-
tween displaying the zone number and zone name, e.g.: zone 1 ↔ kitchen. OK button accepts
all selections. If detector is already learned to selected zone, “OK-remove” prompt appears.
Pressing OK button deletes detector in the zone. If zone is vacant, the “OK-learn” will appear
on the LCD. Pressing OK button starts learning detector to the zone. In response to the

- 9 -
“Awaiting trans. 1” and “Awaiting trans. 2” prompts, two successive alarm transmissions must
be triggered from detector (*).Correct learning will be followed by “OK-correct” message. Er-
rors are signalled by 3 beeps and “Program error” message. The use of C button exits the
menu.
(*) For detailed information on how to learn particular Elmes detector to Elmes CB32 control
panel please refer to instruction manual of the detector.
3.4. Zone disabling.
Service settings → Zone settings → Zone disabling
Buttons ◄► disable and enable zone selected with ▲▼ buttons. Accept selection with OK
button. Exit the menu with C button.
3.5. Radio range test.
Service settings → Zone settings → RF range test
To assess the level of radio reception of signals received from detectors, the most distant de-
tectors in particular, the CB32 panel is provided with “RF range test” function allowing the re-
ceived signal level 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 propa-
gation, 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 should 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 also as-
sessing levels of all local RF signals in the 433.92MHz band, also those that can interfere and
disturb operation of the wireless alarm system. The test should be carried out prior to perma-
nent installation of alarm devices or, in search for causes of short operation range. 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 sig-
nalled on the control panel display indicate close presence of other RF devices operating in
the same RF 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 intended use of wired outputs of the control panel can be defined. All three out-
puts of the panel are OC type and connect to ground in active state. Output OUT1 is designed
exclusively for connecting external signalling device and can be sabotage protected (see S.S.
pt. 8.4). In addition, this output can be configured to signal the use of a remote. The use of
wired outputs OUT 2-3 could have the following designation:
“alarming”- for connection of outdoor/external alarm signalling devices, e.g. ex-
ternal siren or/and strobe. Alarming time can be set within 0-999 sec-
onds range separately for each output (see pt. 6.4);
“AC power failure” - signalling AC power supply failure/cut off;
“arming” - signalling on system armed or night armed and inactive on system
disarmed or in day armed mode;
“failure” - signalling any failure state in system (also AC power failure).
Example: if “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

- 10 -
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 are set by accessing the menu, selecting output number with
▲▼ buttons, accepting with OK, then selecting signalling type with ▲▼ or ◄► buttons and
accepting with OK button.

5. Disconnect shorted RESET points.
DESIGNING WIRELESS ALARM SYSTEM
Designing and installation of alarm system with the Elmes CB32 control panel should begin
with careful planning of detectors, control panel and outdoor siren place of installation ar-
rangement. To ensure satisfactory protection of secured 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. Additional-
ly, Elmes GBX1 wireless glass break detector could be installed for protection of windows
breakage in premises and shops. Depending on needs one or two wired detectors can be
connected to parametric EXT and TAMP inputs of the panel. The panel will also operate with
RP501 four channel transmitter offering one to four wired detection inputs to be monitored
remotely. Learning the RP501 transmitter to the CB32 control panel by activation of input no 4
will learn all four transmitter’s inputs to four adjacent alarm zones of the panel. Activating input
four of the RP501 while learning the transmitter to zone 20 of the panel will assign four RP in-
puts to alarm zones no 17, 18, 19 and 20. When installing detectors and RP501 transmitter
respective instruction manuals must be followed.
It is highly recommended that before permanent installation of detectors or control panel op-
erating range tests should be taken to confirm reliable communication of the devices with the
CB32 panel. The RF range test allows evaluation of operation range of wireless devices. This
function available in Service Settings menu (pt. 3.5) and may also be helpful 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 signal repeater to be used to ensure proper per-
formance of the alarm system.
Installation place of detectors is determined individually. Access to the control panel should
meet specific needs of protected premises but it is not recommended to place the panel next
to the door or in place easily accessible. Best suggested way of disarming the alarm system is
to activate entry delay from outside of the premises with the use of a remote. It allows safe

- 18 -
opening the entrance door, access control panel keypad to disarm the system with password.
The entry delay programmed by an installer or user should allow convenient access to the
control panel keypad.
The CB32 control panel may also be installed in place such as bedroom or study room, allow-
ing complete elimination of the entry/exit delay time. In that case, arming and disarming of the
alarm system from the outside of premises can be made with the use of a remote or mobile
phone, if GSM module is installed with the CB32 control panel. Arming and disarming will be
audibly signalled by siren or lamp connected to an output configured to arming and disarming
signalling.
The panel features also the option of arming alarm system in the night mode with selected
rooms excluded from supervision (e.g. bedrooms, upper floor), as well as the day mode in
which only the selected rooms (e.g. cellar, basement, garage) are supervised. Arming entire
alarm system, or in night/day modes is done with the use of the CB32 panel keypad. Arming
entire system or arming in the night mode only is also possible with the use of remote. All op-
tions and functions of alarm system designed with CB32 control panel are user selected and
set in the Service Settings menu of the panel.
POWER SUPPLY SOLUTIONS
To ensure proper operation the CB32 control panel requires external 230VAC/12VDC regu-
lated or unregulated (9…20VDC) power supply pack with minimal current output ranging from
250mA (panel alone) to 350mA (panel with Elmes GSM module operated).
Initial powering of the panel starts with screwing in DC output wires of the AC/DC power pack
to +/- terminals of the panel. Plugging the pack to AC outlet backlights the LCD panel and dis-
plays software version followed by initial date (day_month), time (hour: minute: seconds:) and
status: “disarmed”. Flashing “ALARM” LED signals batteries absence. Next, two AA size NiMH
type rechargeable batteries could be installed observing correct polarity (+/-) marked in their
compartments. After initial charging “ALARM” LED stops flashing.
IMPORTANT! Use AA size NiMH type rechargeable batteries only with recommended ca-
pacity of 1800 to 2500mAh. The use of other than NiMH batteries with AC power supply pack
connected (battery charging) is not permitted and may cause damage.
The use of batteries with lower capacity than recommended could not guarantee 72 hours of
emergency AC power cut off operation. After initial 25-30 hours of panel operation (batteries
first charging) the power pack should be disconnected, and the batteries discharged by pow-
ering the panel from the batteries only. Discharged batteries will be recognized by the LCD
panel cease to display any message. The AC power pack should be mains plugged again to
restore panel operation and recharge the batteries. This battery forming operation retains
maximum capacity of the batteries.
CAUTION! Batteries may contain poisonous substances. Do not dispose of waste batteries
with household waste. Dispose of waste batteries according to your local recommendations.
Operating CB32 with wired alarm system and system backup power supply the panel may be
powered from 13,6 VDC auxiliary supply line voltage dedicated to power detectors, sirens, etc.
NOTICE! Manufacturer supplies control panel with zone 31 EXT and zone 32 TAMP disabled
and anti-sabotage control of output OUT1 set off allowing connection of external siren and
power supply to the CB32 panel without activating sabotage alarm. After completing system
connections, inserting the batteries and closing panel case, the anti-sabotage protection
should be enabled.

ALARM SYSTEM WITH ELMES CB32 CONTROL PANEL
Designed alarm system may be less or more complex depending on individual needs. Sim-
plest alarm may consist of only few detectors and the control panel with internal siren for au-
dible signalling, while complex alarm system would have a range of detectors in addition to in-
ternal 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 dialler or GSM phone and Elmes CB32 control panel. The system should be power
supplied from a dedicated buffered power pack with integral battery backup. Other advisory
examples of alarm configurations based on Elmes CB32 wireless control panel are presented
on Fig.1 and Fig.2.
Wiring of external equipment such as sirens, AC power supply or phone dialler to the CB32
control panel terminals, should be made through large installation whole 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. The configuration procedure for an exemplary alarm system described further as-
sumes 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 on workshop table before
permanent installation in the rooms. Following are some basic essential steps to be taken at
first wireless alarm system configuration setting:
Unpack the CB32 control panel; first connect AC/DC power pack and then insert rechargea-
ble batteries observing polarity (+/-) marked inside the panel cabinet.
1. Enter Service Settings menu by pressing and holding down OK button (initial password:
0000), and input current date and time (pt. 6.1). Enter new password (pt. 5.1), the name
of the first user and learn remote control transmitter to the user.
2. 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 alarm system. Install wired siren or learn
dedicated Elmes WSS outdoor wireless siren to CB32 panel.
3. Learn detectors to alarm zones of the panel (item 3.3) and test their operation with the
“Monitor of Alarm Detectors” function of the CB32 control panel (see page 5).
4. Set the zone with the entry detector as a „remote delayed” zone (item 3.1.d of S.S.).
5. Set the entry delay time (item 6.2) according to individual requirements.

- 20 -
The above steps allow first workshop tests of the constructed alarm system. The CB32 pan-
el’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 3.5 of S.S.). Other person help may be needed to activate detectors while the sig-
nal level readouts are watched and evaluated.
To enable the anti-sabotage protection against detaching the control panel from wall, the
square piece of the backside plastic over the Tamper switch should be removed.
With the system installed and tested in basic configuration, other devices such as an outdoor
siren/strobe device, phone dialler or a GSM phone can be added. Also, some other functions
of the CB32 panel such as anti-sabotage of the OUT1 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)
