RS Securit 7 User manual

Introduction
The Securit 7 is a microprocessor controlled intruder alarm
panel. It features seven zones of which five are programmable
and two dedicated to entry/exit and personal attack. A non-
volatile memory holds the programming options and the 18
event log. These will be retained even in the event of total
power loss. The panel utilises a blind control box, remote
programming and control keypad. The system is designed to
be simple to program and allow flexibility in use.
Note: Before proceeding with installation read this document
thoroughly.
System planning
To enable the installation to proceed smoothly it is best to plan
the work before you begin. Start by drawing a plan of the
building to be protected (see figures 1 and 2). You will need to
divide the building into zones. Zone 1 is always used as the
final exit zone with the securit 7 panel.
The system layouts shown are a guide to typical positions of
the system components. This will obviously vary depending on
the premises and the level of protection to be afforded.
However, the general rules given cover all installation layouts.
General rules
1. Final exit doors should have magnetic contact switches
fitted to ensure that the premises cannot be vacated with
the doors left open and also to protect against forced entry.
2. PIR detectors are best fitted where an intruder has to pass
through an area to gain access (i.e. halls and landings) or
to protect specific valuable items (i.e. office, lounge). Care
should be taken in siting to avoid direct sunlight, strong
lighting and heat sources (hence the vibration detectors in
the kitchen) as these may cause nuisance tripping. They
are best sited so the intruder cuts across the field of view,
see figure 1 (some products are specifically designed for
long corridors in this instance this rule does not apply),
hence a corner position is usually adopted.
3. PIR, ultrasonic, vibration detectors, etc. all have complex
electronics. These are best given their own zone as in the
event of a fault occurring isolating the fault will be quicker
and nuisance tripping quickly eliminated. Magnetic door
contacts tend to be very reliable if installed well within their
magnetic actuation limit. Hence these can be put in series
together on a loop if appropriate. They are also easier to
test if faulty.
4. Wiring is best concealed where possible to prevent
damage and tampering. Try to avoid running along side
mains cables as interference may occur.
5. The sound/strobe unit should be fitted well above head
height to avoid tampering. The wiring should pass directly
through the wall behind the bell to make it inaccessible.
6. The control panel requires a 240V power source. An
unswitched fused spur preferably direct from the consumer
unit on its own fuse wired in accordance with the current
IEE regulations should be provided.
Using the above general rules you should plan your installation
on your sketched drawing considering the panel siting, how the
cable runs can be minimised, where different types of detector
will be fitted and which zone they will be on. When you have
finalised your plan you can begin installation.
Mounting the control panel and keypad
Control panel
1. Remove the lid screws.
2. Disconnect the a.c. lead from the PCB (see figure 5).
3. Gently pull the PCB from its nylon mounts.
4. Offer the panel up to the wall and mark the holes.
5. Using suitable fixings for the wall material, fix the panel to
the wall.

2. Mark the wall using the holes at the left and right-hand side
of the back plate. Also mark the large cable entry hole.
3. Fix the back plate to the wall using suitable fixings for the
wall material.
Note: The cable entry hole should also be made if
applicable.
Wiring
Keypad
Install a 6-core cable (RS stock no. 365-587) between the
panel and the keypad. Connect units as shown in figure 3.
Note: If the tamper circuit is used throughout the installation it
is recommended that an additional connector block
(such as RS stock no. 423-655) be used to loop the
tamper circuit between zones (see figure 4 for wiring
details).
Mains
A mains supply should be connected via an unswitched 3A
fused spur wired in accordance with the current IEE
regulations. The mains unit cable should be brought in a
separate entry to the panel to the low voltage cables. If in
doubt consult a qualified electrician.
At this stage it is worth checking the panel for correct operation,
this can be done as follows:
1. Check that the terminals marked Ô24 hour tamper, 1, 2, 3,
4, 5, 6 and PAÕ have loop connections as shown below:
Screw the lid on the control panel.
2. Switch on the mains.
3. Enter Ô1234Õ the buzzer will emit a steady sound and the
exit time start. Press the Ô*Õ key followed by the Ô9Õ key.
The exit buzzer will stop and all LEDs will light. After the
10 seconds LED test the internal sounder, which will
operate for 5 seconds, the control will then emit an accept
tone and revert to the ÔDAYÕ mode. You may end the test
at any time by pressing the Ô*Õ key.
4. The test is now complete.
5. Should the above not occur re-check your wiring and
repeat steps 1. to 4.

Detectors
The detection circuits consist of 2 series loops, (see figure 6).
The actual detection zone and the 24 hour tamper loop. The
detectors have normally closed contacts that break the series
loop in the event of an alarm or a device being tampered with.
Hence when wiring to a passive infrared (PIR) or vibration
detector or any other electronic detection device 6-core cable
(RS stock no. 365-587) is required to provide zone, 24 hour
and 12V power for magnetic door contacts.
A 4-core cable (RS stock no. 365-571) would be required.
Where a mixture of detectors are used 6-core can be used
throughout and 2-cores ignored for magnetic contacts. Figure
5 illustrates typical connections.
For detectors in the RS product range run the required cable to
each detector and connect up as illustrated.
Testing
Replace the lid on the control panel. Switch the mains on. If
the internal sounder sounds and the ÔTamperÕ LED is lit on the
keypad then there is a break in the tamper series circuit.
Check the covers on all detectors, keypads and control panel to
ensure that the tamper switches are operating. If this does not
cure the fault re-check the tamper wiring connections.
The test procedure is as follows:
1. Type Ô1234Õ into the keypad, the exit time buzzer will begin.
2. Before the exit times out press Ô*Õ followed by Ô9Õ and Ô4Õ.
The buzzer will emit a low level steady tone.
3. Walk around to each detector and check for operation. The
keypad will give a loud pulsing tone to indicate correct
operation and the zone number LED will light whilst the
detector is operated.
4. When the test is over press the Ô*Õ key to finish.
Should any detector not operate at the end of the test re-check
your wiring and re-test.
Sounder/strobe connections
The sounder strobe wiring should now be installed.
Connections for the RS range of units are given in figure 7.
The installation and testing of these units should be as the
included instructions with each sounder/strobe unit.
Internal sounder (speakers)
The control panel is not fitted with a speaker in the box. If
internal speakers are required they should be connected to the
terminals marked SPEAKER (see figure 6). A maximum of two
16½ speakers may be fitted in parallel.
Programming
Programming of the panel can be divided into ÕuserÕ and
ÔengineerÕ programming facilities. The user facilities are those
that may need to be changed in day to day use of the panel
and the engineer facilities are those that will be set up when the
alarm is initially installed. The panel is also set up initially with
factory default settings, these are listed below.
Factory defaults

User programming
These are functions alterable whilst the panel is unset or by
using the user code.
Changing the user code
There are two separate user codes available. At default the
second user code will be disabled.
1 Master user
2 Second user
Enter the four digit user code, the buzzer will emit a steady
sound and the exit time start. Press the Ô*Õ key followed by the
Ô9Õ key, followed by the key for the user to be altered. The
LEDs 1, 2, 3 and 4 will now come on to indicate a new 4 digit
code is required. Enter your new code. As you press each key
one LED will go out. If your new code is allowed an accept
tone will be given. If the new code is barred an error tone will
be given and your old code will still be valid. Start again and
enter a different four digit code.

press each key one LED will go out. After the last key an accept
tone will be given and the second user code will be disabled.
Chime zones
During the day there may be an area in the building that you
would want to know the presence of a person (e.g. garage)
without setting the alarm. This can be done using the chime
setting. When the detector in the chime zone is activated the
keypad will chime. This can be set as follows:
Whilst the panel is unset press the Ô*Õ key the display will show
the zones currently in chime mode. Press the key number of
the zone you wish to change. If the zone does not have a
chime (e.g. fire or PA zone) an error tone will be given. Press
the Ô*Õ key to finish.
Engineer programming
To enter the engineer programming mode the following
procedure must be followed.
1. The lid should be off the control panel.
2. Switch the mains supply on. The internal sounder will start.

Engineering access code
The engineer access code is programmed to Ô7890Õ as a
factory default. To change this code:
Enter 1-1 LEDs 1, 2, 3 and 4 will light up. Enter the new 4 digit
code. After each keypress one LED will go out. The speaker
will emit an accept tone if the new code is accepted. If the
speaker emits an error tone and all LEDs are extinguished the
old access code is still valid. Repeat the procedure using a
different code.

Engineer event log review
The engineer log is organised into SET and UNSET events.
The log will show the first to alarm and subsequent alarms as
well as isolated circuits. First to alarm is shown by the LED
being ÔonÕ continuously. Subsequent alarms are shown by the
LED(s) flashing and isolated circuits are shown by LED(s)
pulsing slowly. The buzzer will sound whilst reviewing the
ÔSETÕ logs and silent whilst reviewing the ÔUNSETÕ logs.
To view the engineer logs proceed as follows:
From the program mode press the Ô5Õ key. The log routine will
start with DAY 1 SET. The remaining logs are viewed by
pressing the relevant key Ô2Õ for 2nd, Ô3Õ for 3rd etc. on to log 9.
Pressing the Ô0Õ key gives the last alarm condition. The Ô#Õ key
will alternate between ÔSETÕ and ÔUNSETÕ logs and can be used
at any time. To exit logs press the Ô*Õ key.
Factory programming defaults 9-9
Factory defaults have been split into two sections,
programming and codes.
To return to factory programming defaults enter 9-9 the
sounder will give a rapid pipping sound (the entry hurry up
warning). Then enter the engineer code. If entered correctly
an accept tone will sound and the factory programming defaults
will be restored. If any error is made an error tone will sound
and the programming will not be altered. The user and
engineer codes are not changed.
If at any stage you want to return the panel to factory default
user/customer codes, place the small link supplied with the
spare fuses, on the memory link (positioned below the
microprocessor in the centre of the PCB (see figure 4) then
remove the mains and battery supply. When the supply is
restored, the speaker will omit the accept tone and the factory
user code defaults will be restored.
Remove the link.
Once programming is complete exit engineer program mode by
pressing Ô*Õ followed by Ô#Õ, the panel will now be day mode.
Disconnect the mains from the panel. Now connect in the
backup battery (usually 12V 2.8 AH RS stock no. 597-829), the
sounder will indicate a tamper, screw the control panel lid on
and press Ô1234Õ (or your user code if re-programmed) to
silence the alarm. The system is now ready for use.
Note: It is strongly advised that both the user and engineer
code are changed from the factory default.
In the event of the panel not working as described above
please re-check your wiring against the wiring diagrams figures
3, 4 and 5. Remember you can isolate zones by installing wire
links shorting the zone out at the panel.
