2.Instructions for the user
1. Basic controls
The panel has 1 main code (master) which by default is set to [1 2 3 4] and up-to 20 user codes which
by default are not programmed. The system can operate with two different modes. Depending on the
mode of operation, the arm and disarm operations differ.
Complete system.
In this case the system arms and disarms altogether
The arming can be done by using the master code or one of the user codes. The arming of the
system can also be done by simply pressing the ABC key during the installation if the option one key
arminghas been selected.
The disarming can be done by entering the master code or one of the user codes.
Split system. In this case the system operates as three independent subsystems. You can arm
and disarm the whole system or each subsystem independent from the others.
The arming of all the system can be done by using the master code or one of the user codes that
have been programmed for general arming. The arming of the system can also be done by simply
pressing the ABC key if during the programming the option one key programminghas been
selected.
The disarming of the system can be done by using the master code or one of the user codes that
have been programmed for general disarming.
The individual arming of the subsystems Α,Β,C can be done by pressing one of the user codes
that have been programmed to arm each subsystem. The arming can also be done by pressing one of
the , or C keys if during the programming one key arminghas been selected. The arming of one
subsystem does not affect the status (armed-disarmed) of the other subsystems.
The individual disarming of the subsystems Α,Β,C can be done by pressing one of the user codes
that have been programmed to disarm each subsystem. The arming of one subsystem does not affect
the status (armed-disarmed) of the other subsystems.
If during the arming procedure a zone is active then the keyboard
show the message:
Which means that on zone 5(kitchen) a window has been left open.
If we press (#) the arm command is canceled.
If we press (*) or close the kitchen window we see:
This message is shown for 1 second and immediately the arming
process starts.

2.1. Armed system indication
When the system is armed then next to the clock, instead of
the Olympia electronics logo there is a lock symbol. Next to
the lock symbol we can see which sections are armed. In
this example we can see that the system is partially armed
because only the B section is armed. If the system was fully
armed then the symbols , , C would be displayed. When
the system is disarmed then the lock is removed and the
Olympia electronics logo is displayed.
2.2. Advanced operations
Pressing the key (*) the display shows:
Using the up and down keys (keys 2 and 8) we can move the
cursor upwards or downward, using the key (*) we can make the
required selection or using the (#) we can go one level backward
or cancel a selection.
By selecting BYPASS ZONESwe see :
Here we can select which zones are disabled (will not be armed)
during the next arming of the system. For example, if we enter 2and
then immediately 4, this means that the next time the system is
armed, zones 2 and 4 will be disabled. If a zone blinks, this means
that it is preventing the system from arming. If it is blackened then
this means that it is disabled. If it is blinking and blackened then this
means that it is disabled but would prevent the panel from arming if
it was not disabled.
Selecting 
Here we can test the good operation of the zones and the devices
connected to them. For examples, if a magnetic contact of a
window is connected to zone 4 and the window opens then the
message of the display from ALL ZONES OKwill be erased and
the indication 04 will start to blink. As soon as the window is closed
the screen will display the previous message ALL ZONES OK
With this method we can test the good operation of all the detectors
and magnetic contacts.
For the selection MASTER OR TECH MENU  you will find

By selecting ALL EVENTSwe can see all the given alarms since the previous arming of the system.
We will see a display like the one below:
This means that an alarm was registered for zone 4 which is a
TAMPER zone (24 hour operation). The alarm was issued on 12:20
on 07 March 2012 and that is the first of 3 events.
Using the up and down arrows (2 and 8) we can view all the
registered alarm events.
Also by we can view all the events which are registered in memory. The display will
be like the one below:
This means that an error event was registered for zone1 at 12:20
on 07 March 2012. It also informs us this is the 70th event of a total
to 70. With the up and down arrow keys (2 and 8) we can see all
the registered events.
The event memory has a capacity of 250 events and once filled will
erase the oldest. The events that are registered are errors, alarms,
user and technician menu access as well as the arming and
disarming of the system. The main user and the technician can
both erase the events memory using there respective menus.
Selecting we can see:

3. Installation instructions
3.1. Quick installation guide
By default the panel has the following settings
Zone 1 : Zone with delay section 
Zone 2 : Zone with delay section 
Zone 3 : Zone without delay section 
Zone 4 : Zone without delay section 
Zone 5 : TAMPER zone
Entry time : 30 seconds
Exit time : 45 seconds
Siren time : 1 minute
Additional exit time : 20 seconds
We can return to this state if we select RESET DEFAULTSfrom the programming menu. With
these settings we can do a simple and typical installation in a residence with an additional perimeter
alarm.
Connect to zone1 or to the zone of the keyboard the magnetic contact of the main entrance door. On
zone 2 the radars that monitor the entrance area. On zones 3 and 4 the remaining IR radars. Finally
on zone 5 connect the TAMPER of the external siren. We can either arm section A (perimeter alarm)
when we are in the house or all the system (ABC).
Note !! When the panel is in the technicians menu then maintenance operations can be
conducted without activating the alarm.
3.2. Connections
Connecting the battery and the mains power supply
For the battery there are two cables, red and black for connecting to the positive and negative pole
respectively.

8/10/2015 15 921458000_09_003
In case of replacing the fuse, use the spare fuse included in the package. To remove the fuse, use flat
nose pliers as shown above.
Connecting the sirens
For connecting the autonomous siren type BS-413 up-to 7 cables are required.
On the terminals (+)  (-) connect the voltage (AS), (-) which charges the siren.
When we supply the (ST) with 12V the siren and the beacon are activated. It is connected to the P1
contact of the panel which is programmed to provide 12V during an alarm and 0V during the idle state.

8/10/2015 16 921458000_09_003
When the (SE) terminal is connected to (-) it prohibits the siren to operate. This cable is connected to
a (-) terminal of the panel during the installation procedure or any other time that the cover of the siren
must be removed (i.e. during a battery change). In normal operation the cable must be removed from
the (-) terminal of the panel.
When the (FL) terminal is supplied with 12V the beacon is activated. If it is connected to the terminal
P2 of the panel then the beacon will flash once for 2 seconds when the panel is armed and three times
(0.5 second duration) when the panel is disarmed. Simply program the output (P2) to operate as a
flash.
The contacts (1) and (2) are the TAMPER contacts of the siren which are connected to a respective
zone on the panel which by default is zone 5.
2 cables are required for connecting the internal siren BS-441. The terminals (P1) and (-) of the panel
are connected to the (+) and (-) terminal of the siren respectively.
Each panel can accept 1 autonomous and 1 internal siren.
Note : The BS-458 panel cooperates with the BS-413 siren in order to prevent the siren from
sounding when the panel is in the technicians menu. This is useful if the technician wants to
change the battery of the siren and does not require the use of the service cable.

8/10/2015 17 921458000_09_003
Zone connections
Connecting the panel with radars (infrared movement detectors, PIR) or other devices that require
power. For the connection, 4 cables are required (6 if the TAMPER is connected). The 2 cables are
connected to the (12V) and (-) of the panel and provide power to the respective terminals of all the
detectors. The other 2 cables connect in series
the contacts RELAY (NC) of all the detectors of
the zone and the resistors found on the terminals
of the panel. The diagram above provides
examples for connecting 1 or 2 detectors on the
zones.
For the connection of magnetic contacts or other
devices that do not require power only 2 cables
are required by which we connect in series all the
zone contacts and the terminal resistor found on
the
panel. The above diagram shows a connection
with 1 or 2 magnetic contacts.

8/10/2015 18 921458000_09_003
Smoke and heat detector connections
The connection of the fire detectors must be done to a zone which has been programmed as a
FIREzone. The normally closed contacts of the relay on the base (NC,C) are connected in series
with the resistor of the zone of the panel.
The power to the base is done using (-) and the output 2 which by default is programmed as 

Warning: The BS-413 and smoke detectors cannot co-exist on the P2 output. Depending on its use,
this output must be suitably programmed.
3.3 Programming via the keyboard
Let it be noted that when trying to change a setting in the user menu or the technician menu you can
view the current value of the setting. The only menus that do not offer the preview of default values
are the 2 menus   on the PSTN and GSM, as well as the 2 menus 
of the ARC (Alarm Receiving Center) of the PSTN and the GSM.
Also when a value is entered (i.e. entry time), and after the last digit is entered the value is stored
automatically without the need to press an additional key. If we do not reach the last digit of the value
and the  is pressed then the value that is shown on the display is stored. There is always an
indication on the display that shows which digit is edited. This is shown with the symbol under the
current digit. If the entered number is not within the limits then the cursors returns to the first digit.
When the adjacent display is shown the system is in the process of an
important process which cannot be stopped by using the keyboard.
The process will finish and then the display will show the main menu.
If a problem occurs during the process then a relative message will be
shown before the return to the main menu.
Sometime a menu can contain content that cannot be shown in one screen. In this case a scroll bar is
shown and we can change screens using the up and down keys. The scroll bar looks like the symbols
below:
UPDATING DATA..

8/10/2015 19 921458000_09_003
This shown that there is a next page from the current one.
This shows that there is a previous page than the current one.
This means that there is a previous and a next page than the current
one.
For entering a menu: While on the initial screen, press the key (*), and select with the up and down
keys (keys 2 and And by pressing again the key (*) we see:
