down the 7key)
Yellow [CA-10 KLED-S only] – illustrates the functioning of the buzzer in the keypad
When using the features available in the control panel, the LEDs can also provide additional
information.
1.2 LEDs indicating zone state [LED keypads]
Numbered LEDs indicate the status of zones (CA-10 KLED – 12 LEDs; CA-10 KLED-S – 16
LEDs):
−LED extinguished – normal zone status,
−LED blinking slowly – zone bypassed,
−LED illuminated – zone violated,
−LED blinking rapidly – alarm memory,
−LED illuminated, briefly extinguishing every 2 seconds – zone tampered,
−LED flashing every 2 seconds – tamper memory.
Note: In the KLED CA-10 keypad, the status of zones indicated by the installer is presented
– the LED numbers do not need to correspond to those of zones.
When using the features available in the control panel, the LEDs can also provide additional
information.
1.3 Display [LCD keypads]
The display provides a range of information, facilitating communication between the alarm
system and the user. The installer determines the display backlight mode and selects
information that is presented on the display when the user does not use the features
available in the keypad.
1.4 Keys
The keys designated with digits and letters enable entering the code and data when using the
keypad.
The key allows you to:
−enter the user menu (after entering the code);
−enter the service mode (after entering the service code);
−exit the submenu and some functions.

2 CA-10 SATEL
The #key allows you to:
−arm/disarm and clear alarm (after entering the code);
−enter the service mode (after entering the service code);
−start the selected function;
−confirm the entered data.
Note: The service mode is not available when there is an alarm or the partition to which the
keypad is assigned is armed.
In the LCD keypads, the arrow keys are available. They allow you to navigate through the
display (to scroll through the displayed messages, functions and options, or to move the
cursor), and also to check:
W- which zones are violated;
X- which zones have triggered alarm;
S- in which partitions there is alarm;
T- to which partitions the keypad is assigned.
Press and hold down selected keys for about 3 seconds to:
1- switch the keypad over to handle the first partition;
2- switch the keypad over to handle the second partition;
3- switch the keypad over to handle the third partition;
4- switch the keypad over to handle the fourth partition;
5- view the alarm log;
6- view the trouble log;
7- view the current troubles;
8- enable/disable the CHIME signal in the keypad (signaling violation of selected zones
with 5 short beeps);
9 - change the keypad backlight mode [only in CA-10 KLED-S] – the number of short beeps
indicates which backlight mode is enabled (1 – no backlight; 2 – automatic backlight; 3 –
permanent backlight);
0- trigger the auxiliary alarm;
- trigger the fire alarm;
#- trigger the panic alarm;
T- switch the display over to zone status presentation mode and back.
1.5 Sound signaling

confirmation of the data entered (after using key).
3 long beeps – refusal to arm (some zones are violated or battery failure).
Events signaled by sounds
1 short beep every 3 seconds – to signal:
−service mode;
−entry delay countdown.
2 short beeps every 3 seconds – trouble (the sound signaling of trouble will stop after
viewing the current troubles).
5 short beeps – zone violation (CHIME).
1 long beep every second – fire alarm.
1 long beep every 3 seconds – exit delay countdown.
5 long beeps – zone violation:
−the 4. DAY/NIGHT type, when the partition is disarmed;
−the counter type (triggers alarm after a preset number of violations), when the partition
is armed.
Continuous beep – alarm.
Notes:
•Only installer selected events are signaled.
•Alarms will be signaled as long as programmed by the installer.
2. Codes and users
To perform many of the CA-10 control panel functions you must enter a code. By default, the
following codes are preprogrammed in the control panel:
master (administrator) code for partition 1: 1234
master (administrator) code for partition 2: 2345
master (administrator) code for partition 3: 3456
master (administrator) code for partition 4: 4567
service code: 12345
The master user (administrator) can add new users. For security reasons, each user should
have their individual code. The master user defines an authority level for each user. The
functions to which the user has access depend on the authority level. For description of the
authority levels please refer to the full user manual. The master user can create up to 12
users in each partition. Up to 28 users can be created in all partitions.
Note: The installer determines whether the code will enable you to operate all partitions
(global code) or just the partitions zones to which the code is assigned.
The service code enables access to the service functions, but does not allow everyday
operation of the control panel (using this code you will not be able to arm or disarm the
system).
3. Operating several partitions with the keypad
The CA-10 control panel enables the system to be subdivided into partitions. The keypad is
always assigned to one of them, thus making it possible to operate the partition (arm/disarm,

4 CA-10 SATEL
bypass zones, etc.). The installer may allow several partitions being operated with a single
keypad. To switch the keypad over to handle another partition, press and hold down the key
corresponding to the number of that partition (1, 2, 3 or 4). For the LCD keypad which has
been switched over to handle another partition, it is possible to switch it over again to handle
still another one. For the LED keypad, you can only press and hold down the key to go
back to operate the partition the keypad is assigned to. Irrespective of the keypad type, you
will be automatically brought back to the partition to which the keypad is assigned after 15
seconds of idle time.
4. Partition arming
A partition can only be armed from the keypad assigned to the partition or switched over to
handle it (see: OPERATING SEVERAL PARTITIONS WITH A KEYPAD).
Prior to arming, make sure that there are no violated zones (e.g. open windows or doors),
which may prevent the system from arming (if the system has been so configured by the
installer).
After arming, the exit delay countdown may be running, which allows you to leave the
premises without triggering alarm (the zones will be armed only when the exit delay
countdown is finished).
If, during the exit delay countdown, the control panel will not register leaving the premises
(the zone monitoring the exit route will not be violated), the selected zones can be
automatically bypassed, thus enabling you to stay in the protected premises. The installer
shall define which zones are to be bypassed in such a case.
4.1 Full arming
Enter the code and confirm using #key.
Note: The user having the authority 7 can only activate partial armed mode (the installer
selected zones will be bypassed).
4.2 Quick arming
If your installer has enabled the Quick Arm feature, you will be able to arm the system without
using the code. To quickly arm the system, press in turn the 0# keys.
4.3 Arming in silent mode
During the silent armed mode, the alarms from zones are only signaled on the keypad
(however, the installer can program the control panel output so that it can provide information
about alarms being signaled on the keypad). After activating the silent armed mode, the
installer selected zones will be bypassed.
1. Enter the code and confirm using key.
2. Press the 5key (to start the ARMING SILENT user function).
5. Disarming and alarm clearing
The partition can be disarmed and the alarm cleared only from the keypad assigned to that
partition or switched over to handle it (see: OPERATING SEVERAL PARTITIONS WITH A KEYPAD).
Alarms triggered from the keypad can be cleared from any keypad.
In order to disarm the partition and clear the alarm, enter the code and confirm with the # key.

10. Using selected user functions
All the user functions are described in the full version of the user manual. Described below
are just a few selected functions.

SATEL CA-10 7
10.1 Changing your own code
1. Enter the code and confirm using key.
2. Press the 1key (to start the CHANGE OWN CODE user function).
3. Enter the new code (4 to 6 characters) and confirm with #key.
10.2 Zone bypassing
The partition zones can be only bypassed/unbypassed from the keypad assigned to that
partition or switched over to handle it (see: OPERATING SEVERAL PARTITIONS WITH A KEYPAD).
1. Enter the code and confirm using key.
2. Press the 4key (to start the BYPASS ZONES user function).
3. The ways of presenting the zone state differ, depending on the keypad type:
−LCD keypad. The zone state is presented in the lower display line:
– the zone is not bypassed,
blinking digit/letter corresponding to the zone number – the zone is bypassed (zone
numbers from 10 to 16 are designated by letters from A to F).
−LED keypad. LEDs with numbers indicate the zone state:
LED extinguished – the zone is not bypassed,
LED blinking – the zone is bypassed.
4. Using the keypad, enter the number of zone which is to be bypassed (if it is not bypassed)
or unbypassed (if it is bypassed). To enter the zone numbers 10-16, press the key first
(instead of digit 1), and then the key corresponding to the second digit. For example, to
enter the zone number 12, press in turn 2.
5. Having selected the zones to be bypassed / unbypassed, press the #key.
Notes:
•For security considerations, the installer can reduce the number of zones that the user is
authorized to bypass.
•Bypassing the zones reduces the level of security. Prior to arming, make sure that there
are no accidentally bypassed zones, which can allow an intruder to gain access to the
protected area, despite the system being armed.
•If a zone is bypassed because of its malfunctioning (e.g. because of detector trouble), call
the service technician immediately to repair the fault.
10.3 Viewing the event log
