Introduction
Security and surveillance technology
for museums, exhibitions, private collections and luxury goods trade
Thank you for choosing the H uman Detector Flex alarm system.
A powerful, compact and quick-to-install security and surveillance system, it supports you in protecting your
exhibits and valuables. Whether paintings, sculptures or automobiles, the
H uman Detector Flex system
features a wide range of applications.
Sensors and alarm modules are available for almost every task. These are extremely small and can be
operated with inexpensive lithium batteries, which last for up to 10 years.
(HDF - H uman Detector Flex)
HDF-3D PROTECT The HDF-3D PROTECT module detects the slightest vibrations
(structure-borne sound) and movements. This provides for the effective
protection of showcases, pedestals, technical exhibits and vehicles.
HDF-TOUCH
Approaching and touching objects can be easily detected with the HDF-
TOUCH
module. The system is ideal for securing metallic objects, but
can also be used for other purposes.
HDF-HANG HDF-HANG
secures pictures and hanging objects on gallery rails.
HDF-OPTICAL
Pictures, paintings and other hanging objects can be secured
sustainably, simply and contact-free with HDF-OPTICAL .
HDF-EXTERN
External sensors with an alarm output (NO or NC) can be connected
directly to the HDF-EXTERN module. This allows the H uman Detector
Flex System to be extended as required.
HDF-WIRE
Securing with tear-off wires is in many cases the cheapest and quickest
way to secure "small items" against theft. The HDF-WIRE module
supports up to two signalling circuits.
HDF-DOOR HDF-DOOR
secures doors, flaps and inspection hatches.
HDF-SHOCK
The HDF-SHOCK module detects heavy blows, position changes and
vibrations.
HDF-REMOTE
The HDF-REMOTE panic button allows for alarm messages to be easily
and invisibly sent by supervisors.
All alarm modules, with the exception of the HDF-REMOTE panic button, can additionally be operated with an
external power supply unit. The connection to the alarm centres ( HDF-BUZZER and HDF-SPEECH ) and the
HDF-AMD alarm management system is wireless via radio. The communication that takes place in the 868
MHz range uses a special modulation method that easily penetrates solid walls and large buildings. The
ranges achieved here are often several times greater than those that can be achieved with conventional
systems.

Instruction Manual
Security made easy - Human Detector Flex 4 / 49
The HDF-BUZZER and HDF-SPEECH alarm centres
Two systems with different extension levels are available with the HDF-BUZZER and
HDF-SPEECH alarm
centres.
The basic system
HDF-BUZZER enables the output of a loud alarm via a built-in piezo siren (buzzer). In
addition, three potential-free relay outputs are available. These can be individually controlled by the alarm
modules. Alarm messages are acknowledged and the system is armed and disarmed via an external input
using a key switch.
The
HDF-SPEECH alarm centre also has a voice output. Voice and sound messages are stored as .mps3
files and used as alarm messages.
The HDF-AMD unit (
AMD = Alarm M anagement D evice) enables targeted forwarding of alarm messages to
digital terminal devices (e.g. Android tablets and smartphones) and to external services. A precise distinction
is made here as to who is responsible for which alarm. Likewise, the HDF-AMD in combination with the
HDF-
ANTIJAM monitors the radio network for interfering signals. The HDF-AMD is an open system. Future
projects - such as the transmission of measurement data (temperature, humidity, etc.), but also the
connection to video control centres - can be implemented.

HDF-CONFIGURATOR Software
General
The HDF-CONFIGURATOR manual describes the functionality of the Windows configuration software for the
backup technology of the
H uman Detector Flex family.
The software enables the programming of the HDF-BUZZER and HDF-SPEECH alarm centres via USB
interface. The HDF-AMD
alarm management system can also be set using a wireless network.
In addition, the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software enables the security engineer to create optimised
installations and adapt these to their security requirements. The software supports the creation of
documentation and saves log and configuration files.
Basic agreements for the operating instructions:
HDF sensors
The term HDF sensors refers to H uman Detector Flex sensors. In the operating instructions the terms
sensors, alarm modules, alarm sensors, sensor modules, detectors and the individual product names (such
as HDF-DOOR , HDF-EXTERN , etc.) are used. In all cases, the sensors are HDF sensors.
HDF alarm centres
The term HDF alarm centres refers to H uman Detector Flex alarm centres. In the operating instructions the
terms alarm centres, radio control centres, alarm units and the individual product names (HDF-BUZZER and
HDF-SPEECH ) are used. In all cases, these are HDF alarm centres.
HDF alarm management device
The term HDF alarm management device refers to H uman Detector Flex alarm management device. In the
operating instructions the terms alarm management device, HDF alarm management system, alarm
management system and the individual product names (HDF-AMD) are used. In all cases, it is an HDF alarm
management device. The abbreviation
AMD refers to Alarm M anagement D evice.
Designation of screen panels
The screen of the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software is used to control your security installation. The
manufacturer, heddier electronic GmbH, has placed great emphasis on ensuring that all relevant
information is always in the user's field of vision. The operating steps involve only a few repetitive actions.
These are easily recognisable and enable a quick familiarisation with the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software.
We would like to explain the main areas of the screen in advance, in order to facilitate these operating
instructions.

Action window
Situation-related entries are made and actions are started in the action window with a turquoise/blue
background. The action window is only visible during the respective action.
The H uman Detector Flex systems can be used in three different operating modes. With the exception of
operation in EASY-Mode, the use of the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software is mandatory for the other two
operating modes.
EASY-Mode
EASY-Mode is the most simple operating mode. It is intended for small security system installations. In
EASY-Mode up to 30 alarm sensors can in principle be connected to one or more alarm centres
(HDF-
BUZZER or HDF-SPEECH ). The connection only requires a simple pairing at the push of a button on the
respective sensor. All alarm sensors on an alarm centre have the same alarm behaviour. An individual alarm
form is not possible for individual alarm sensors. Alarm sensors that have already been created cannot be
deleted individually.

Instruction Manual
Security made easy - Human Detector Flex 7 / 49
The HDF-CONFIGURATOR software in EASY-Mode is only required for changing the alarm behaviour of the
respective
HDF-BUZZER or HDF-SPEECH unit. This change is then valid for all paired alarm sensors.
MULTI-Mode
The use of the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software is mandatory in MULTI-Mode. The complete installation of
the security system is initially planned with the software. After completion of the planning the user can enter
the hardware identifiers (ID codes) of the individual
H uman Detector Flex components. The project data
generated in this way can now be transferred to the various alarm centres (HDF-BUZZER or HDF-SPEECH )
with the
HDF-CONFIGURATOR software via USB cable.
The MULTI-Mode provides the user with a high degree of flexibility. Each sensor and each alarm centre can
be individually programmed. The maximum number of alarm sensors per alarm centre is 200. The HDF-
CONFIGURATOR software also generates up-to-date project documentation.
PROFI-Mode
The use of the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software is also mandatory in PROFI-Mode. The PROFI-Mode is a
powerful extension of the MULTI-Mode. An HDF-AMD alarm management system is installed in addition. This
unit controls and evaluates all alarm and system messages. The information obtained in this way is forwarded
specifically to the smartphones of security staff. Alarm messages can also be displayed in any web browser.
This enables for instance the silent alerting of security staff. The settings required for commissioning are
made with the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software. The functions of the MULTI-Mode installation are completely
retained in PROFI-Mode. Updating from
EASY to MULTI-Mode or from MULTI to PROFI-Mode is possible at
any time. Moving in the opposite direction is feasible, but will always lead to restrictions in functionality.
Note:
You can download the latest version of the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software from the manufacturer's
download server. More information and access data will be provided after the purchase of the corresponding
components.

The
HDF-CONFIGURATOR software in EASY-Mode is only required for changing the alarm behaviour of the
respective
HDF-BUZZER or HDF-SPEECH unit. This change is then valid for all " paired " alarm sensors.
MULTI-Mode
The use of the HDF-CONFIGURATOR software is mandatory in MULTI-Mode. The complete installation of
the security system is initially planned with the software. After completion of the planning the user can enter
the hardware identifiers (ID codes) of the individual
H uman Detector Flex components. The project data

Open HDF project
Use the function from the action window when starting the programme or from the [File] menu, if you want to
open an existing [HDF project]. In both cases a selection window will be displayed.
Select the desired project file (file extension *.hdfproj) and confirm your selection by pressing [Open] .
Save HDF project
The project is automatically saved by selecting this menu item. No additional window is displayed. The HDF
project is saved under the current name. Older files are overwritten without a confirmation prompt.
Note:
If there is an "*" after the project name in the top line of the screen, this means that the project still contains
unsaved data. Example: HDF-CONFIGURATOR - Backup.hdfprj*
Save HDF project as
A selection window appears after selecting the menu item [Save HDF project as]. There you can enter the
project name and select a suitable storage location. Confirm your entry by pressing the save button.
