FOREWORD
FOR THE INSTALLER:
Please follow carefully the specifications relative to electric and security systems realization further to the manufac-
turer’s prescriptions indicated in the manual provided.
Provide the user the necessary indication for use and system’s limitations, specifying that there exist precise
specifications and different safety performances levels that should be proportioned to the user needs. Have the user
view the directions indicated in this document.
FOR THE USER:
Periodically check carefully the system functionality making sure all enabling and disabling operations were made cor-
rectly.
Have skilled personnel make the periodic system’s maintenance. Contact the installer to verify correct system oper-
ation in case its conditions have changed (e.g.: variations in the areas to protect due to extension, change of the ac-
cess modes, etc…)
......................................................
This device has been projected, assembled and tested with the maximum care, adopting control procedures in
accordance with the laws in force. The full correspondence to the functional characteristics is given exclusively when
it is used for the purpose it was projected for, which is as follows:
Microprocessor-based control units with remote assistance function
Any use other than the one mentioned above has not been forecasted and therefore it is not possible to guarantee
its correct operativeness.
The manufacturing process is carefully controlled in order to prevent defaults and bad functioning. Nevertheless, an
extremely low percentage of the components used is subjected to faults just as any other electronic or mechanic prod-
uct. As this item is meant to protect both property and people, we invite the user to proportion the level of protection
that the system offers to the actual risk (also taking into account the possibility that the system was operated in a de-
graded manner because of faults and the like), as well reminding that there are precise laws for the design and as-
semblage of the systems destinated to these kind of applications.
The system’s operator is hereby advised to see regularly to the periodic maintenance of the system, at least
in accordance with the provisions of current legislation, as well as to carry out checks on the correct running
of said system on as regular a basis as the risk involved requires, with particular reference to the control unit,
sensors, sounders, dialler(s) and any other device connected. The user must let the installer know how well
the system seems to be operating, based on the results of periodic checks, without delay.
Design, installation and servicing of systems which include this product, should be made by skilled staff with the nec-
essary knowledge to operate in safe conditions in order to prevent accidents. These systems’ installation must be
made in accordance with the laws in force. Some equipment’s inner parts are connected to electric main and therefore
electrocution may occur if servicing was made before switching off the main and emergency power. Some products
incorporate rechargeable or non rechargeable batteries as emergency power supply. Their wrong connection may
damage the product, properties and the operator’s safety (burst and fire).

1. GENERALS
ET4 series microprocessor-based control units have been designed to realize small intrusion detection sy-
stems with strong technological innovation characteristics. The reduced dimensions of the unit’s metal housing
allow to install it even in small or difficult places.
Units can be controlled by the following devices: Midas (or Nirva) keypad, ETR-ZENITH flush-mount control
point, I8 reader. The devices allow full control of the system with clear and simple instructions; maintenance
and configuration can both be accessed via keypad; the built-in dialler enables sending messages to users and
surevillance centres; remote assistance function enables installers to carry on maintenace procedure remotely.
ET4 units can also be controlled by an external security control device wired to zones set to KEY option,
and can communicate via radio links of surveillance centres for remote arm/disarm.

zones, to save changes.
Numeric keys 0to 1are also used for alphabeth letters during configuration mode.
2.3 Keypad LED indicators
2.3.1 Zones Status
To display zones status press Ðkey; to browse zones anomaly events, press Ðand Ï.
Displayed information indicates details of alarmed zones with zone ID (if assigned during configuration pro-
cedure, e.g. Kitchen window, Corridor IR, etc.).
The fast blinking of &LED indicates the display condition. Press STOP key to go back to standard display.
Standard display will be resumed also after 6 secs since last key has been pressed.
2.3.2 System anomalies
To display system anomalies, press Ïkey; to browse system anomaly (-ies), press Ðand Ï.
The fast blinking of /LED Indicates the display condition. Press STOP key to go back to standard display.
Standard display will be resumed also after 6 secs since last key has been pressed.
2.3.3 Alarm event log
To display alarm memories, press * key; for multiple alarms, use Ðand Ïkeys.
The fast blinking of LED Indicates the display condition. Press STOP key to go back to standard display.
Standard display will be resumed also after 6 secs since last key has been pressed.
