see ‘Assign Keypads/Readers’ on page: 23. Note: To address the readers you must select the
relevant switches on the circuit board, see the installation manual for more information.
Any keypad that is not correctly assigned will have a blank display until they are addressed.
Testing the Keypad
With the system unset, press the key for 10 seconds at any keypad. This will cause all the
LEDs on that keypad to illuminate, and the LCD screen to scroll a display testing each pixel.
The keypad will revert to normal display approximately 10 seconds after the key is released.

Page | 7
Text Programming
Text may be programmed for input names, for the ‘sign-on’ message, and to identify the Set
level being set / unset. Each keypad key is allocated characters as shown below:
The EURO 280 system incorporates predictive text, so the system will predict which word is
being spelt. For example, if you enter ‘B’ and press the key and then enter ‘e’. Bedroom
will be displayed, to accept this press the key. If the word that you require doesn’t appear
on the LCD display, just type the word as normal.
To type a word, press the relevant key the appropriate number of times – e.g. for the letter ‘k’
press the key twice, or for the letter ‘s’ press the key four times.
In addition, the keys are used as follows:
= capitalisation / make letters upper case
= move cursor left
= clears cursor / adds a space
= moves cursor right
Accessing the Engineers Menu on Any Keypad
On the EURO 280, it is possible to access the Engineer Menu on any keypad. If you are in the
Engineer menu in keypad address 0, the other keypads will display ‘system busy’, to access
the Engineer menu on these, press the key on the relevant keypad.
Grade 2 & Grade 3 Defaults
The EURO 280 can be used as either a Grade 2 panel, or a Grade 3 panel depending on which
case size is selected and the subsequent battery size etc. The menu feature that controls the
programming defaults is the ‘Clean Start’ option (see page 9). Enter ‘2000’ to clean start the
panel as Grade 3, or enter ‘2002’ to clean start the panel as Grade 2.

4.1.5 Wireless ZEMs
The first Wireless ZEM can have 32 Wireless Inputs, 32 Wireless Keyfobs and 2 Wireless Bells
learnt to it. Every Wireless ZEM after the first may only have Wireless Inputs learnt. A maximum of
3 Wireless ZEMs may be programmed onto the EURO 280 system. Each Wireless ZEM is
programmed as 4 different ZEMs in the programming menu, and they each have 8 Wireless Inputs
assigned. Here is an example of how 2 Wireless ZEMs, fully loaded, can operate on the system:
Wireless ZEM 1. Address: 0-3:
Total Wireless Inputs: 32 (Address 0 = 8 Wireless Inputs (9-16), Address 1 = 8 Wireless Inputs
(17-24), Address 2 = 8 Wireless Inputs (25-32) and Address 3 = 8 Wireless Inputs (33-40))
Total Wireless Keyfobs: 32 Total Wireless Bells: 2
Wireless ZEM 2. Address: 4-7:
Total Wireless Inputs: 32 (Address 0 = 8 Wireless Inputs (41-48), Address 1 = 8 Wireless Inputs
(49-57), Address 2 = 8 Wireless Inputs (58-64) and Address 3 = 8 Wireless Inputs (65-72))
Wired ZEMs and Wireless ZEMs can be installed together on a system and as long as they are
addressed uniquely, they will work alongside each other. For example, if you wish to use 24
wireless inputs and 8 wired inputs, you can address the Wireless ZEM as ZEM 0, 1 and 2 in the
programming function ‘Install ZEM’ and learn 24 inputs to the system using the ‘Wireless Device
Control’ menu. Then address a wired ZEM as ZEM 3.

Change Inputs
By default, all inputs are pre-set as ‘unused’ so you will need to program each individual input
you require. The input will not be ‘live’ (and hence cannot be walk tested) until you have
exited the Engineer Menu (please see Page: 5)

Number & Type Operation
20 Keyswitch
Latched
Accepts input from keyswitch (or equivalent) to Set/Unset the Set modes
assigned to it. Setting includes normal exit time, etc. Requires latching
action switch. NOTE: DOES NOT COMPLY WITH GRADE 2 or GRADE 3
21 Entry Shock
Input
Active when system set. Works in conjunction with EE input type for
detection of forced entry. See page 18 for details.
22 Input Line
Fail
Active when fail. Will give a line fault alarm, and will signal telecom
line fault signal on expiry of line fault timer. Works in conjunction with
CCTV input.
23 Keyswitch
Pulsed
Accepts input from keyswitch (or equivalent) to Set/Unset the Set modes
assigned to it. Requires momentary action switch to toggle set/unset
state. NOTE: DOES NOT COMPLY WITH GRADE 2 or GRADE 3
29 Interior
This will work the same as an Intruder type input, the only difference is
that when CID reporting is programmed then any inputs that are
programmed as Interior will report CID event 132.
32 Flood
This input type will work as a 24 hr input, any inputs that are
programmed for Flood will activate the external siren and will report
CID event 113.
39 CCTV
Active at all times. No audible or communicator response
If the input line fail is active, the system will signal CID/SIA events for
perimeter alarm and the CCTV input will open.
40 Perimeter
This will work the same as an Intruder type input, the only difference is
that when CID reporting is programmed then any inputs that are
programmed as Perimeter will report CID event 131.
41 Keybox
This input type will work similar to a switcher input, it does not trigger
an alarm but will report CID event 250 and is also a useful input type
when an output is required to to follow the Keybox type input.
42 Medical This is a 24 Hr type input it will activate the external sounder and
report a CID event 100.
43 Final Exit 2
Any input programmed as ‘Final Exit 2’ will act as input type 07, but the
associated input will use ‘Entry Time 2’ rather than ‘Entry Time 1’
(programmed in Change Timers). This gives the opportunity to set
different entry times for different entry routes.
NOTE: ‘Part Set’ refers to any combination other than all available Areas
NOTE: Use of Input Types 20 or 23, WILL NOT comply with GRADE 2 or GRADE 3:
FOR USE ON UNGRADED SYSTEMS ONLY.
A trigger from an Entry Route input will be stored for 2 seconds before an alarm is
activated. If a Final Exit input is triggered within this time, the system will select
entry time, rather than an intruder alarm.
4.1.9 Entry Shock Input Type (21)
This input type is designed specifically for use with systems installed using BS8243 option
6.4.5
This input type is always used in conjunction with an Entry/Exit input. The EE input is a door
contact on the initial entry door, and the Entry Shock input is a non-latching shock sensor
fitted to the door frame in the vicinity of the lock. If the initial entry door is subjected to gross
attack and forced open, then at the expiry of entry time only one further intruder input need to
be activated to signal a sequentially confirmed alarm – the Entry Shock input counts as the
first to alarm. The Entry/Exit door contact must be opened with 10 seconds of the shock
detector triggering for the Entry Shock response to apply. Triggering the Entry Shock input in
isolation will NOT generate an alarm of any kind.

4.1.10 Creating a Common Area
In certain situations, a ‘common’ area may be needed. A common area is an area that only
sets if other specific areas are set. For example, a reception in a building will only need to be
set if the offices and warehouse are set. If the office is set, but the warehouse is not, then the
reception would still need to be inactive so people would be able to leave the premises. An
example of how to set this up is as follows:
Office: Inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4. Warehouse: Inputs 5, 6 and 7. Reception: Input 8.
Therefore what we would need to do in the above situation is program the office in one area
(for example Area A) and program the warehouse in another area (for example in Area B). We
then need to make the Reception ‘common’ to these two areas (Partitions A and B), so we
need to select both areas A and B for this input (input 8). After selecting the partitions for each
input there is an option called “Input Area: Any/All”. For inputs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 we need
to make this attribute ‘any’, as they work independently to the area they are assigned to. For
input 8 (The common area), we need to make this attribute as ‘all’, therefore when partitions A
and B are both armed, the reception (input 8) will automatically set as well. In these
examples, the user codes could be allocated to individual areas A and B or to both areas.
However, the keypad controlling the common area MUST be programmed to be “IN” exactly
the same combination of areas as the common inputs – i.e. in “AB” in this example.
4.1.11 Input Attributes
Attribute Response Modification
Chime System loudspeaker(s) will ‘chime’ when an input triggered whilst the alarm
panel is unset. Note: The input concerned will not indicate on the display.
Single System chimes once when the input is triggered.
Follow System chimes until the input is cleared.
Omittable Enables the input to be manually omitted during the Setting procedure.
Double
Knock
The input will only generate an alarm if triggered twice within a pre-set period,
or if the input remains in fault condition for that period.
Dual Trip
The input will only generate an alarm if this input, and another like -
programmed input with adjacent number, are in alarm condition at the same
time. Either input in alarm condition will prevent the system from Setting.
Normally
Open
Enables the system to respond correctly when detectors of ‘normally open’
configuration are wired to the system. Alternatively converts input types which
default to ‘normally open’ (e.g. PTS) to operate with normally closed devices.
Walk Test If enabled, the input must be walk tested before the system can be set.
Monitor
Activity
Enables an input to generate an alarm if the input does not see any activity for
a period specified by the NAT (Non Activity Time) timer. (See change timers)
Special
Log
Forces a log entry when the input is opened or closed, even when an alarm
does not result. May be selected to apply when a system is set, when unset,
or always.
Confirm
Group
If one or more inputs are activated within the same confirm group, all
confirmed signals will be disabled. If confirm group is selected as ‘00’ the
inputs are not part of any group. If inputs are allocated to group 99 they will
generate an alarm that results in an intruder (unconfirmed) signal to an ARC
only. They will not under any circumstances generate a confirmed signal,
regardless of which group the input that activated the ‘unconfirmed’ alarm is
allocated to.
Any input may be programmed with any combination of these attributes, except where stated.

Page | 20
4.1.12 Masking Response
When unset, a masking event will generate an audible “alert” that requires response in the
normal way. There will be NO signal transmitted to the ARC. When set, a masking event will
generate an ‘intrusion’ response including “intruder” or “unconfirmed” output, but will NOT
result in a confirmed alarm if paired with a activation of the same detector. This harmonises
with the requirement of EN50131-1 clause 8.4.5 and the insurer’s preference expressed in
BSIA Form 171.
