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 opera-
tion in case its conditions have changed (e.g.: variations in the areas to protect due to extension, change of the access
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:
Hardwired/wireless, microprocessor-based intrusion detection panels
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 pro-
duct. 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 ne-
cessary 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
ETR512, ETR256, and ETR128 control units represent the state of the art within a project designed to en-
sure high quality security systems in residential, industrial, bank and post office buildings, allowing also multi-
system applications.
ETR series control units feature an advanced processing and operating capacity while simplifying end-user
operation. They are also suitable for HOME and BUILDING AUTOMATION applications.
New horizontally-designed keypads control panels effectively: newly-restyled NIRVA keypad, and wireless
VELA and VELA/PLUS keypads, in case of application within hybrid hardwired/wireless systems.
Security systems based on ETR series units can be divided into 8 areas, each featuring 4 sectors (parti-
tions). Units can accommodate up to 256 users provided with 6-digit numerical codes, proximity keys, or remo-
te control devices; an advanced built in hourly programmer manages not only overtime requests, but also
system arm/disarm mode and holidays (temporary and permanent holidays, midweek holidays, and holiday pe-
riods).
Upon alarm condition, units will enable optical/acoustical devices, outdoor self-powered and indoor self-pro-
tected sirens directly connected to control units, and/or built in dialler, if properly programmed. Voice commu-
nication can be performed via ETR/VOICE synthesis board (optional) and up to 24 valid phone numbers.
Suitable digital protocols ensure alarm codes transmission to surveillance centres.
Remote interrogation and control can as well be performed via ETR/GSM module (optional), that is also able
to send up to 16.000 text messages.

3. CONTROL DEVICES
3.1 NIRVA keypad
Nirva keypad operating mode is made easier thanks to an LCD display used for messages and operating
status display. LCD display has to be intended as an integration for status and modes general display, together
with LED indicators, sectors keys, and backlit rubber keys.
Keypad has a built in proximity key controller, PROXI; its door has been designed to protect rubber keys
against accidental pressure, and more I6 or I7 readers can be added to the keypad to support remote control
function.
3.2 Remote readers I6 and I7
These readers cannot be used for programming control units, and have to be connected after NADIR keypa-
ds.
This instruction manual refers to ETR512 control unit.
For ETR256 and ETR128 control units differencies will be duly specified.
