MANUAL

WARNINGS
Due to safety reasons, alarm system should be installed by qualified personnel only.
Telephone terminals of the panel should be connected to PSTN lines only. Connecting to
ISDN lines may lead to damage of the equipment.
Because alarm system may contain hazardous items, its components should be kept out of
reach of unqualified personnel.
In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, read carefully this manual before proceeding to
installation. Any connections should be made in deenergized state only (i.e. with power
supply disconnected).
In the event of service operations consisting in fuse replacement, they must only be carried
out after disconnecting the supply voltage. For the replacement, use only the fuses which
have identical parameters as the original ones.
It is recommended that the manufacturer’s required housings and power supply units be
used.
Making any construction changes or unauthorized repairs is prohibited. This applies, in
particular, to modification of assemblies and components.
CAUTION !
It is impermissible to connect a fully discharged battery (voltage on terminals without a load
less than 11V) to the alarm panel. To avoid hardware damage, fully discharged or never used
battery should be precharged using proper charger.
The batteries used in the alarm systems contain lead. The old batteries must not be thrown
away, but disposed of as required by the existing regulations (European Directives
91/157/EEC and 83/86/EEC).

GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
The CA-10 alarm control panel is a state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based alarm control
panel, developed in accordance with the latest trends in the field of burglary and assault
signaling. Its comprehensive features and affordable price permit application of the CA-10
both in small and medium-size alarm systems.
The alarm control panel incorporates a number of solutions, which were previously
encountered only in special purpose equipment. Some of the solutions are an absolute
novelty.
Basic functional features:
•operating the panel from remote LCD text display keypads or from LED keypads,
•remote control by means of a telephone set (selected functions) – support of the MST-1
module,
•connection of up to four independent keypads,
•possibility of four-partition operation, with completely separate alarm systems, or
common zone partitions or internal partitions,
•10 to 16 fully programmable zone inputs (8 zones on the main board, 2 on each
keypad, extension through zones of next keypads or expander), each capable of
performing one of 21 functions,
•support of any detectors in NO, NC, EOL and 2EOL configuration with individual zone
violation,
•6 programmable outputs, each being able to perform any of 41 functions.
•built-in telephone communicator for:
- messaging to two monitoring stations,
- messaging alarm condition via pager systems,
- messaging alarm condition with voice announcement,
- answering a call and reporting the system status,
- remote service from a modem equipped computer,
•built-in RS-232 interface makes it possible to connect a printer (for printing event log or
current data) and program the control panel from a PC.
•internal clock for automatically arming / disarming partitions with TIMER function,
•operating the system with independent access codes by 32 users (up to 13 in each
partition) - the codes can have different authority levels, and their use is recorded in the
event log,
•nonvolatile memory of 255 last events, which gathers information about arming,
disarming, alarms, troubles, etc., with date and time of occurrence, and panel user
number,
•possibility to supervise guard rounds with TIMER function,
•automatic monitoring of the alarm system performance, inclusive of finding a damaged or
blocked detector.

CA-10 Installer Manual 3
TECHNICAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Zones
In its basic configuration, the CA-10 control panel has 10 zones: 8 on the panel main board
and 2 in the keypad. In its full configuration, with four keypads (or an expander), the panel
has 16 zones available. The zones can support any detectors in the configuration NC, NO,
EOL, 2EOL/NC, 2EOL/NO. The use of 2EOL configuration enables the panel to
simultaneously control the detector and its anti-tampering circuit by means of one pair of
wires.
The zones can perform the following functions in the system:
0 - entry/exit - the violation of which, when in the armed mode, will start countdown of the
entry delay time and will enable the delay mechanism for INTERIOR DELAY type
zones (violation of an INTERIOR DELAY zone without prior violation of the
ENTRY/EXIT zone will trigger an alarm immediately). Upon violation, a “zone
violation” code is sent to the report station (it is possible to skip sending this
message), and, after counting down the "entry delay time" and triggering the alarm -
a “zone alarm” code. The "entry delay" countdown can be signaled in the keypad. It is
possible to define automatically bypassing zones if no ENTRY/EXIT zone is violated
during the exit delay time”. Because of its additional functions, this zone type cannot
be used as a common zone for several partitions.
1 - delay - when violated in the armed mode, it starts delay countdown, after which an
alarm is triggered. It will not occur if the zone is disarmed before completion of the
delay countdown. Upon violation, a “zone violation” code is sent to the report station
(it is possible to skip sending this message), and, after counting down the "entry
delay time" and triggering the alarm - a “zone alarm” code. The delay is not signaled
in the keypads.
2 - interior delay - when violated in the armed mode after previous violation of the
ENTRY/EXIT zone, it behaves like a DELAY zone. When violated in the armed mode
without previous violation of the ENTRY/EXIT zone, it behaves like an INSTANT
zone.
3 - instant - when violated in the armed mode, it immediately triggers an alarm and sends
a ”zone alarm” message to the monitoring station.
4 - day/night - when violated in the armed mode, it behaves like an INSTANT zone, while
when disarmed, it will signal violation in the keypad (unless the signaling is disabled)
and send a “zone violation” code to the station.
5 - counting L1 - when violated in the armed mode, it increases the status of the first of
three violation counters (a „zone violation” code is sent to the station), until the
number of violations specified for that counter is exceeded (programming in FS7).
Then, the violation triggers an alarm (a „zone alarm” code is sent to the report
station). The violation counter is reset after 30 seconds since the first violation. It is
possible to program another counter count-up time (FS123). If the preset number of
violations is not reached within this time, there will be no alarm. More than one zone
can be define as COUNTING L1. Violations of those zones will be summed up.
Violation of the counting zone in armed mode can be signaled in the keypad in the
same way as for the DAY/NIGHT zone.
6 - counting L2 - operation identical as for the "counting L1", but changes the status of the
second of the three counters.
7 - counting L3 - operation identical as for the "counting L1", but changes the status of the
third of the three counters.

4 Installer Manual SATEL
8 - 24H audible - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to is
armed, or not. Each violation of this zone will trigger alarm on the BURGLARY
ALARM type outputs, in the keypad, and will send a “zone alarm” code. It makes
possible to create anti-tampering circuits and panic buttons.
9 - 24H auxiliary - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to
is armed, or not. Each violation of this zone will trigger an alarm in the keypad and
will send a “zone alarm” code. It is intended for connecting detectors not related to
the burglary alarm, such as gas or flooding sensors, etc.
10 - 24H silent - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to is
armed, or not. Violation of this zone will only send a “zone alarm” code to the
monitoring station.
11 - 24H fire - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to is
armed, or not; intended to manage the fire detectors.
If the control panel contains an output programmed as the FIRE DETECTORS
POWER SUPPLY, violation of the zone will actuate the alarm verification mechanism
and will signal alarm in the keypad. To perform the verification, disconnect
momentarily power supply to the fire detectors and check, whether after reconnection
of power supply the violation will be repeated within 90 seconds. If that’s the case,
the control panel will send a „zone alarm” message to the monitoring station, activate
the FIRE ALARM and FIRE/BURGLARY ALARM outputs, and trigger the fire alarm
(intermittent signal) in the keypad.
If there are no FIRE DETECTORS POWER SUPPLY outputs, the zone violation will
immediately send a „zone alarm” code to the monitoring station, activate the FIRE
ALARM and FIRE/BURGLARY ALARM type outputs, as well as trigger the fire alarm
(intermittent signal) in the keypad.
12 - arming - violation of this zone will arm the partitions the zone belongs to.
13 - silent arming - violation of this zone will arm in silent mode the partitions the zone
belongs to.
14 - disarming - violation of this zone will disarm the partitions the zone belongs to.
15 - no alarm action - violation of this zone will activate the ZONE VIOLATION type
outputs.
16 - arming/disarming – controls arming/disarming of partition to which this zone is
assigned. Setting of "PRIORITY" option allows to choose one of two different modes:
PRIORITY option enabled: zone violation will arm the partition, while end of violation
will disarm the partition ("Bistable" action).
PRIORITY option disabled: each violation of the zone will trigger partition's state
between "Armed" and "Disarmed" state ("Monostable" action).
17 - delay audible – a delayed zone with the delay countdown signaling in keypads.
18 - automatic bypass arming – violation of this zone arms the partition the zone belongs
to, simultaneously bypassing the zones programmed as AUTO-BYPASS (see FS16
– FS19).
19 - perimeter – zone armed since entering the access code and confirming it with the [#]
key (i.e. arming the partition). Violation of this zone during countdown of the „exit
delay” will trigger an alarm.
20 - entry/exit-final – acts much like the type 0 (ENTRY/EXIT) zone, but the violated zone
restore during exit delay countdown will stop the countdown and begin the partition
armed mode.
Reaction time for each zone can be programmed within 0.016 s to 4.08 s.
For each of the delayed zones, an individual time delay can be set.

CA-10 Installer Manual 5
Each zone involves a few options to determine the reaction in particular situations.
It is possible to determine for each zone the maximum violation time (in seconds), after which
the zone will be recognized by the control panel as defective, and to determine the maximum
"no violation" time (in hours), after which the zone will be recognized by the control panel as
defective.
The zones can be selectively bypassed.
For each zone can be determined the 9 event codes to be sent to the monitoring stations.
Outputs
The CA-10 is equipped with 6 programmable outputs: 4 high-current and 2 low-current ones.
The OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 and OUT4 outputs are protected by special electronic fuses with
current limiters set at 2.2A. The panel monitors presence of voltage, overload, and signals
trouble conditions at these outputs. 2.2kΩresistors must be connected in parallel to these
outputs. The above outputs supply the load with +12V voltage.
The OUT5, OUT6 outputs (low-current, up to 50mA) control ground of the load.
All outputs are equipped with protective devices for inductive loads and pulse interference.
For each output can be defined the operation time in seconds (from 1 to 99 seconds), in
minutes (from 1 to 99 minutes), or LATCH type (until cut off). It is possible to determine the
output polarity for active state (+12V or 0V on the load), and whether it should operate in
pulsed or continuous mode.
Assignment of the particular outputs can be restricted to the specific partitions / zones of the
system.
Designation of the outputs can be adapted for the needs of the alarm system controlled by
the panel. Though individual outputs differ by their design, each of them can perform one of
the following functions:
1 - burglary alarm - the output starts on detecting a burglary alarm by the control panel.
The alarm is triggered by armed zones, zone anti-tampering circuits, keypad tamper
detectors, and by the user (through the ALARM PANIC function). If the zones to
which the output is to react are defined, the zone alarms will be limited to those
included in the „list of outputs” (the other alarms will be effected irrespective of the
source). It is also possible to indicate (in the output options) the partition the output is
associated with. If this is the case, the zone alarms will be limited to those from the
zones belonging to the partition indicated. When the "list of outputs" is empty and no
partitions are indicated, the output reacts to all alarms (except for the fire alarms).
The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01
to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During its operation, it can
every second change its state (pulsate).
2 - fire/burglary alarm - the output starts on detecting by the control panel of a burglary
alarm (continuous signal) and/or a fire alarm (intermittent signal). The output
operation can be limited to the indicated "list of outputs" or a specific partition
(identically as for the 1 output type). The output can remain active for a specified time
(from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the
user.
3 - fire alarm - the output starts when the control panel detects a fire alarm. Such an alarm
is triggered by fire zones or the user (through the FIRE ALARM function). The output
operation can be limited to the specified "list of outputs" or particular partitions
(identically as for the 1 output type), indication of any zones other than the fire ones
having no sense, as they would not generate a fire alarm. The output can remain
active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until

6 Installer Manual SATEL
the alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every second change its
state (pulsate).
4 - keypad alarm - the output starts on detecting any keypad alarm (FIRE, PANIC, AUX.,
keypad tamper alarms). The output operation can be limited to the alarms from
specified partitions. The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99
seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During its
operation, it can every second change its state (pulsate).
5 - keypad fire alarm - the output starts on triggering the fire alarm by the user (with the
FIRE ALARM function). The output operation can be limited to the alarms from
specified partitions. The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99
seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During
operation, it can every second change its state (pulsate).
6 - keypad panic alarm - the output starts on triggering the PANIC alarm by the user. The
output operation can be limited to the alarms from specified partitions. The output
can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99
minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every
second change its state (pulsate).
7 - keypad aux. alarm - the output starts on triggering the alarm by the user with the
ALARM AUX function. The output operation can be limited to the alarms from
specified partitions. The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99
seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During
operation, it can every second change its state (pulsate).
8 - keypad tamper alarm - the output starts on detecting violation of the tamper contact or
a change of the keypad address, and also after 3 wrong codes. The output operation
can be limited to the alarms from specified partitions. The output can remain active
for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the
alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every second change its state
(pulsate).
9 - day/night + counting - the output starts on detecting violation of disarmed DAY/NIGHT
zone or violations of COUNTING zones, which trigger no alarm. Operation of the
output can be restricted to a specified “list of outputs” or particular partitions
(identically as for the 1output type). Indication of any other zones than those tested
by this output type is irrelevant - they will give no violation signal. The output can
remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or
until the alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every second change
its state (pulsate).
10 - duress alarm - the output starts on using an access code with authority level 4
(DURESS) to disarm the system or to signal an alarm. This code is used to trigger a
special "disarm under duress" alarm. Operation of the output can be restricted to
alarms from particular partitions. The output can remain active for a specified time
(from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the
user. During operation, it can every second change its state (pulsate).
11 - chime - the output starts on violating the disarmed zones for which the “chime” option
has been activated. Operation of the output can be restricted to the indicated "list of
zones" or to specified partitions (identically as for the 1output type). The output can
remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or
until the alarm is cleared by the user. The output signals violations irrespective of the
chime lock setting in keypad (the lock is called by holding down the [8] key).
12 - switch MONO - the output is activated by calling the user function 7 ([CODE][*][7]) or
using a code with authority level 5 ([CODE][#]). Operation of the output can be

CA-10 Installer Manual 7
restricted to specified partitions. The output can remain active for a time from 01 to
99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes.
13 - switch BI (ON/OFF) - the output changes its state when the user function 8 is called or
a code with authority level 6 is used. Operation of the output can be restricted to
specified partitions.
14 - arm status - the output is active when the system is armed. Operation of the output can
be restricted by indicating a „list of zones” or specific partitions. Unless zones and
partitions are indicated, the output is active when any partition (zone) is armed.
15 - silent arm status - the output is active when the system is in the silent armed mode.
Operation of the output can be restricted by indicating a „list of zones” or specific
partitions.
16 - exit delay status - the output is active during the „exit delay” countdown by the control
panel. Operation of the output can be limited to indicating the „exit delay” for
specified partitions.
17 - entry delay status - the output is active during the „entry delay” countdown. Operation
of the output can be limited to indicating the „entry delay” for specified partitions.
18 - telephone usage status - the output is active when the control panel is on the
telephone line.
19 - ground start - the output is activated by the control panel to generate the GROUND
START pulse (a 2 sec. signal occurring before the control panel "lifts the handset",
required by a specific type of telephone exchanges).
20 - report acknowledge - the output activated for 3 seconds by the control panel, after
correct termination of the monitoring session.
21 - bypass status - the output is active when some zones are bypassed in the system.
Operation of the output can be limited to showing the bypass of zones specified in
the list of zones, or the bypass of indicated partition zones.
22 - ready status - the output is active when all the control panel zones are free from
violations. Operation of the output can be limited to showing the READY status of
zones specified in the list of zones, or the READY status of indicated zones.
23 - zone violation status - the output starts when one of the zones is violated. Operation
of the output can be limited to the indicated "list of zones" or specified partitions
(identically as for the 1 output type). The output can remain active for a specified time
(from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the armed mode is
deactivated or the alarm cleared.
24 - telephone line trouble - the output used when telephone messaging is doubled by
radio messaging; it makes possible reporting the telephone line trouble.
25 - 230V AC loss indicator
26 - battery trouble indicator – activated when the battery voltage in three consecutive
tests drops to about 11V.
27 - power supply - the output intended for powering detectors, encoders, radio lines and
other equipment with 12V direct voltage. When programming this type of output, pay
special attention to permissible current-carrying capacity of each of the control panel
outputs.
28 - fire detectors power supply - the output intended for powering the fire detectors. The
output closely interacts with the 24H FIRE zones. If assigned to any of the control
panel outputs, the function activates the fire alarm verification mechanism. The
mechanism operates as follows: the first violation cuts the fire detectors power supply
off for about 15 seconds. The power-down results in reset of the violated detectors.
Then, the power supply is restored, but the panel will not control the 24H FIRE zones
for 10-20 seconds because of the balancing of detectors. Next, the control panel

8 Installer Manual SATEL
enters the special mode of fire detectors control, which lasts about 90 seconds. If
a repeated detector violation occurs during that time, a FIRE alarm will be triggered.
Otherwise, the control panel will go over to the normal control of 24H FIRE zones.
The output reacts to the "RESET POWER SUPPLY" function (user function 9, cutoff
for time programmed as the output active time).
29 - power supply with RESET function - the output is designated to power detectors
which require a periodical power cut-off until the state memory is cleared. The
RESET mechanism is activated from keypad through the user function 9 (calling:
[CODE][*][9]). The voltage is cut off for time programmed as the output active time
(minimum 5 seconds).
30 - timer - the output is controlled by the control panel clock; it is activated / deactivated in
the hours indicated by a corresponding TIMER.
31 - audible arm status - the output signals the audible armed mode. Operation of the
output can be limited to the indicated "list of zones" or specific partitions.
32 - full arm status - the output is only active when all zones / partitions assigned to it are in
the armed mode.
33 - arm/disarm/clear alarm - the output signals the performance of particular operations
with, respectively, one, two, or four pulses 0.16s each.
34 - keypad buzzer alarm - silent alarm signaling in the partition keypad.
35 - power supply on armed mode - it functions similarly to the arm status output, but goes
on right after starting the exit delay countdown, not after changeover from the exit
delay to the armed mode (it can be used, for example, as indicator or power supply
output for microwave detectors in spaces where people stay).
36 - LED status – the output can control a LED to indicate the following statuses:
- off – control panel disarmed
- steady light – control panel armed
- blinking light – the control panel armed, there was alarm or trouble
Note: If in the armed mode any zones are violated in the system, the LED will be blinking
and will only change to steady light after the violation ends.
.37- RELAY status – the output can control a relay. The output becomes active after
arming, and inactive after an alarm is triggered, a trouble occurs, or the system is
disarmed.
Note: If in the armed mode any zones are violated in the system, the output will become
active after the violation ends.
38 - zone trouble – the output signals that the maximum zone violation time or the
maximum zone no violation time have been exceeded.
39 - no guard code – the output is activated by a timer programmed as the partition control
TIMER, unless a guard code is entered within the timer specified time.
40 - service mode status – the output is activated if the control panel service mode has
been called from any keypad.
41 - battery test result - the output whose state is updated after each battery voltage test.
Partitions
Creation of a partition consists in assigning at least 1 zone to it. The CA-10 permits 4
partitions to be created. Any outputs, telephone numbers and pager messages can be
assigned to one partition, thus enabling four independent alarm systems to be built on the
basis of one CA-10 control panel.

CA-10 Installer Manual 9
In the event of a few keypads being connected to the control panel, each keypad will be
hooked up to the particular partition via a special control output. The keypad connected to the
CLK1 output will belong to the partition 1, that connected to the CLK2 output - to the partition
2, etc.
Where the system comprises less keypads than partitions, individual partitions can be
operated from the existing keypads, by means of the GO TO function (when this function is
called, the keypad will for a time belong to another partition). The partition which has no
keypad, can be controlled through the zones to which the "arming" and "disarming" functions
are assigned. The state of such a partition can be signaled on the outputs.
Partitions can be defined in the following way:
•partitions have no common zones - they are independent sub-systems,
•some zones belong to several partitions - the common zones are only armed when all the
partitions these zones belong to are armed,
•all zones of one partition belong at the same time to another partition - the control panel
recognizes one partition as the master, and the other as an internal one;
arming/disarming the master partition results in simultaneously arming/disarming the
internal partition, while arming/disarming the internal partition only affects the zones within
that partition,
•the same zones are assigned to different partitions - these partitions will become mutually
internal; arming/disarming one partition causes identical reactions in the other partition:
thus defined partitions behave like one partition with two (or more) independent keypads.
When analyzing, if the given partition is an internal one, the control panel checks how the
zones for which arming is possible overlap. Therefore, an internal partition can be assigned
with separate "24H" zones as well as arming control zones.
The partitions have individual identifiers and event codes for monitoring purposes.
Access Codes and Authority Levels
The CA-10 panel can store in memory 32 access codes (4 to 6 digits long), with different
authority levels. The codes are associated with the partitions they are assigned to. The each
partition has a MASTER code. The MASTER code cannot be deleted, however it can be
changed. It provides access to all user functions.
The MASTER code user (user number 0) can add new users to partition, assigning various
authority levels to them. The code authority level defines which functions of the control panel
are accessible by using this code, and which are not.
New users (new codes) are automatically numbered by the control panel as they are entered.
This makes it possible to distinguish, who and when operated the control panel, as the user
(code) number is stored in the memory of events along with the command given. With the
LCD keypad, identification of the users by their name is also possible.
Deletion of the code will not cause renumbering of the other users’ access codes. Whenever
a new user is added, his code will replace the one left by the deleted user.
Access codes can be declared as the „global access codes” (FS131). Then they will be
accepted in each partition, irrespective of in which partition they are entered. However, with
this option it is impossible to identify the user who called the control function when viewing
the event log.
Note: Creating inner partitions in the system, with the option of global access codes on,
enables the basic partition to be controlled with the master codes of these partitions. If
these codes are not used, they should be changed for the safety reasons.
Individual users may have the following authority levels:
1- accessible all functions, except creating and deleting users,

10 Installer Manual SATEL
2- accessible arming and disarming, change of access code,
3- accessible arming, while disarming is only possible when the system was armed
with the same access code,
4- code trap: it arms and disarms the system, but disarming sends a DURESS ("disarmed
under duress") message to the monitoring station,
5- activates the MONO SWITCH output, its use is recorded in the event log, can serve as
a guard code,
6- changes the state of BI SWITCH output,
7- partial arming - the code arms the system, simultaneously bypassing a group of zones
(specified by the installer in service functions), otherwise the code provides the same
features as that with authority level 2,
8- accessible arming and disarming, without possibility to change own access code,
9- accessible arming only,
0- accessible alarm clearing only.
Keypads
The keypads are designed for operating and programming the system (or a partition). The
CA-10 can support four independent LCD or LED keypads, thus making possible creation of
four partitions or separate systems. Each keypad is assigned to one partition.
The keypad operating mode is set when programming the panel. It is possible to disable
some of its functions (e.g. the quick arming by pressing in turn the [0] and [#] keys), and
determine what audible signals are to be provided by the keypad.
The keypads have an individual addresses, which make difficult replacement or connection of
another keypad, an individual anti-tampering contact and two zones, which operate
identically as the zones of the control panel main board. The keypad zones can be assigned
to any partition.
The data concerning the address, anti-tampering contact status and zone status, are sent to
the control panel together with keypad data.
LED Keypad
There are three types of LED keypads available to interface with the CA-10 panel, which
have the following designations: CA-10 KLED, CA-10 KLED-M and CA-10 KLED-S.
In LED keypads the status of partitions and zones is indicated by means of LEDs (the CA-
10 KLED keypad can display the status of up to 12 zones). Additionally, three LEDs
provide information on the system status: the red LED indicates ALARM, the green one -
ARMED (blinking means countdown of the exit delay), and the yellow one - TROUBLE.
For details regarding the keypad indication see the CA-10 User Manual.
LCD Keypad
There are three types of LCD keypads available (to interface with the CA-10 panel), which
have the following designations: CA-10 KLCD, CA-10 KLCD-L and CA-10 KLCD-S. The
CA-10 panel supports the keypads with program version v2.00 (or later).
The LCD keypad provides information on the alarm system status by means of a two-line
(2 x 16 characters) LCD display and, additionally, six LEDs. The LED functions are
described in the „ CA-10 User Manual”.
The keypad is provided with 12 keys, designated according to the telephone standard, and
intended for entering data. The additional 4 arrow keys in the LCD keypad allow the user
to move through the MENU and to select functions.

CA-10 Installer Manual 11
Three operating modes of the keypad are provided:
1. Text mode. The first line of the display shows the system date and time. The second
line contains messages on the system state. The contents of messages can be either
standard (e.g. SYSTEM OK., ARMED), or customized by the installer. This mode
enables the status to be displayed either with or without priority. In the priority mode, the
most important information message from among a few relevant ones (e.g. ALARM !)
will be constantly on. In the non-priority mode, the display state will change cyclically
(e.g. the messages THERE WAS ALARM and ARMED will be displayed alternately).
2. Zone state display - LCD standard. The first line of the display shows the system date
and time, while the second serves for monitoring the state of all the 16 zones of the
control panel. The zone state is determined by a displayed character (for example: =
zone OK., z= zone violated). At the moment of changing the system state (e.g. when
the system is armed), the display shows the status for a while, much in the same way
as in the previous mode, then the keypad returns to monitoring the state of zones.
3. Zone state display - LED standard. This mode is similar to the mode 2. The difference
is that in the second line the state of 12 zones of the control panel is being monitored in
the same way as it is the case in the LED keypad.
The operating mode 1 or 2 is recommended for the LCD keypad. Having selected the
mode 1, the user can temporarily switch the display between the text mode and the zone
state mode by holding down the ▼key.
The operating mode is defined by the installer with the Status format service function
(ÆService Mode; ÆLCD Keypad; ÆSettings; ÆStatus format), available only after
activation of the control panel service mode.
The LCD keypad is fitted with a RS-232 port to enable programming the keypad settings
directly from the computer (see section: Activating selected functions).
Monitoring
The CA-10 control panel can transmit information about the system (partition) status to one
or two monitoring stations. Communication with the monitoring stations takes place
irrespective of the voice messaging and the messaging to paging systems. It has a priority
and is realized before the voice messaging. In case problems occur with getting connected to
the station, the control panel will suspend dialing the station number for 60 seconds and, if
the message is also to be transmitted by the dialer, it will make the line available to the dialer.
There are a few ways of transmitting information to the monitoring stations.
•Reporting to one station.
•Reporting to Station 1, and if unavailable - to Station 2 (e.g., when the station has two
telephone numbers). If this is the case, all events are reported, irrespective of which
station was reached by the control panel.
•Reporting to both stations with event sorting - depending on what event occurred in
the system, e.g. information on alarms to Station 1, and information on troubles to Station
2 (this mode is useful where the station serves many subscribers and it is necessary that
the number likely to receive most vital information be busy as little as possible). In this
mode, during control panel programming, you can determine which information is to be
sent to which station.
•Reporting to both stations: Station 1 first, then Station 2. This mode is reached by
assigning the same event to both stations.
In case of a system with 16 zones and 32 users, the number of messages to be sent to the
monitoring station in order to ensure an appropriate facility protection degree may be large
enough to exceed the capacity of standard transmission formats. Therefore, to increase the
control panel flexibility, the events occurring in the system have been divided into six groups:

12 Installer Manual SATEL
•the first one includes the zone related events (this group has the highest priority),
•four groups are represented by the partition related events (the event priority depends
on the partition number, the first partition having the highest priority),
•the sixth group accounts for the other system events.
Individual system identifiers are assigned to each group of events (one for each station). In
the event of stations which cannot accept several different identifiers in one communication
session, the control panel can send the events in separate sessions, in the order resulting
from the priority, grouping events with the same identifiers.
It is possible to send information on nine different zone related events and seventeen
partition related events (whereof seven events may contain the user number). The control
panel is also capable of sending twenty six other events which occurred in the system (e.g.
troubles, start of programming mode via a telephone, activation of service mode, etc.). The
event codes for both stations are the same. For a majority of events, it is possible to define
how the events are to be sorted between the two stations. Information can be sent to the
stations in one of the seventeen transmission formats (including the TELIM format, used in
Germany).
Because of the analysis of commutation signals (algorithm ToneLOGIC), the CA-10 panel
controls the process of establishing connection with the station, which in case of the line
being frequently busy considerably reduces the time between occurrence of the event and
sending information to the monitoring station. As dialing retries are made immediately after
detecting the busy signal, the connection is established many times faster than with the
equipment which waits for one specific signal for a predetermined period of time and only
redials upon detecting that that signal has not occurred.
Dialer
The CA-10 control panel is equipped with a telephone dialer, which enables an alarm voice
message to be transmitted. The message is stored in an external synthesizer. The control
panel directly interfaces with the SM-2 voice synthesizer.
The dialer can also establish connections with paging systems. Four different alphanumeric
messages can be programmed.
The CA-10 allows programming of eight telephone numbers, 16 characters each.
It is possible to define for each number, which partitions signal alarm at that number and
assign to it one of the four text messages for the pager or a voice announcement from the
synthesizer.
During the procedure of connection setup, the ToneLOGIC system used in the CA-10 panel
controls sound signals from the telephone line. Hence, it can recognize that the call is
answered, irrespective of the type of telephone exchange.
Messaging for each telephone number is realized in accordance with the following
parameters:
•number of queues (1 to 7) – defines how many times it is necessary to call and send
information to each number,
•maximum number of retries (1-9) – number of attempts, after which the panel will stop
dialing the number, for which connection cannot be established (no answer, permanently
busy, etc.).
When waiting for the dial tone during dialing (code D, when the control panel is connected to
an extension line and is trying to get the outside line), detecting the busy signal does not
decrease the counter of queues and attempts.
The control panel dialer can also perform the function of answering the calls and reporting
the system state (service functions FS5 and FS101):

CA-10 Installer Manual 13
•with a sound signal: one beep a second if there was no alarm,
•with a voice message (if one hour has not elapsed yet after the alarm),
•with a sound signal: five short beeps every second if at least one hour has elapsed from
the alarm.
Another way of getting information on the system state via the telephone is through the
control panel operation in conjunction with the SATEL MST-1 module (service function
FS131). Additionally, this module enables the system to be remotely controlled, within certain
limits, by means of DTMF signals. For the connection diagram refer to the MST-1 module
operating instructions.
Remote Programming – DOWNLOADING
In order to facilitate programming, the CA-10 panel is equipped with a DOWNLOADING
mechanism, which enables a PC computer to be used for programming and service control of
the alarm system.
Operation with the computer can be realized in two ways: in the „local mode” by means of the
RS-232 interface (after connecting the CA-10 directly to one of the computer COM ports), or
in the „remote mode”, via the telephone line (in this case the computer must be equipped with
a modem).
Programming the data of LCD keypad is available in the local mode through the RS-232 port
on the keypad board.
The DLOAD10 program, delivered with the panel, supports both operating modes.
The DLOAD10 program enables:
•downloading (reading) all control panel parameters,
•uploading (writing) new parameters to the control panel,
•downloading (reading) the system event log.
The program does not read or change the user access codes - these are only
accessible through the user functions from keypads.
In the ONLINE mode, the computer displays current information on the system state,
including zone violations, active outputs, control panel clock, and selected partition state.
Provision is made for controlling the system in the same way as with a LED keypad. The
computer screen keypad works in parallel with the real keypads in partitions, therefore
commands for all partitions can be given from one place. The ONLINE mode also permits
downloading troubles and programming the clock.
Communication in the local mode (through the RS-232 port) is started with a special service
function (FS112). Connection can also be initialized without using the keypad (e.g. if it is
located far from the control panel and the computer). This can be achieved using the "Local
connection with…" command in the DLOAD10 program.
Communication through the telephone line can be initialized in three modes:
1. The computer calls the control panel, which after answering the call exchanges
handshake signals with the computer. When they are correct, the panel confirms
acceptance of the remote programming command, hangs up and calls back to the
computer using a number preprogrammed in the control panel. Prior to calling the
computer back, the panel notifies the monitoring station that the programming has
started.
2. The computer calls the control panel and, after the handshake, the control panel
immediately proceeds to the exchange of data. This simplified mode of establishing
communication is reached when the computer telephone number is not entered in the
control panel. Notification of the monitoring station will take place after communication
with the computer is over.

14 Installer Manual SATEL
3. Establishing of communication from the control panel by calling the user function 0
(zero). The control panel first notifies the monitoring station that the programming has
started (when monitoring is active), then it dials the computer telephone number.
In order to reduce the cost of telephone connections, multiple suspension of the transmission
is possible. At the next connection, the control panel does not inform the monitoring station of
remote programming. Only after receiving the command to end the communication,
a message on completing the remote programming is sent to the station.
Initialization of communication can be disabled from the computer. When the communication
is suspended from the computer, the control panel is waiting for a call from the computer for
four hours even when the functions of automatically answering the computer call are
disabled. When the communication is ended with the “end” command instead of “suspend”,
the information on ending the communication is entered into the event log and sent to the
monitoring station after four hours.
As the control panel is only accessible to the service, a number of protective devices is
provided to prevent hacking of the system and change of any data by unauthorized persons.
All the data exchanges are authorized by changing the access codes and the data are
encoded.
The DOWNLOADING can be particularly useful to installation firms engaged in servicing
many alarm systems. Then the user suggested inspections and modifications of software will
not necessarily require troublesome and costly traveling - they will be carried out with a
computer via the telephone line. Such a method of customer service and technical control of
customer systems will allow creation of alarm equipment services at an advanced and
professional level.

CA-10 Installer Manual 15
Figure 1. View of the control panel main board
The AC terminals are intended for providing the alternating supply voltage 17-24V
from the AC/AC transformer.
The control panel is fitted with an advanced pulse-type DC power supply of high energy
efficiency and operational reliability, however, its correct functioning requires that the input
voltage at the maximum load of the transformer by the control panel does not drop below
16V AC.
The CA-10 main board can be connected to an electric shock protection circuit (grounding).
The protective cable terminal is designated by the symbol.
The „neutral” wire of the 230V AC mains supply must not be connected to the
grounding terminal. If the facility has no separate electric shock protection
circuit, this terminal must be left free.
The control panel power supply is fitted with:
•battery status monitoring system with optional disconnection of discharged battery,
•visual signaling of the battery testing/charging process (LED indicator on the main board),

•changeover battery charging current (350mA/700mA).
The stabilized voltage of the control panel power supply is 13.6 - 13.8V and is factory set.
The BATTERY CHARGE LED situated next to the „J19” pins is on when the battery status is
being tested by the module and during charging of discharged battery. CA-10 tests the
presence of battery every 10 seconds and every 4 minutes it tests (for several seconds) the
battery status. During testing, the processor reduces the power supply and the loads are
powered from the battery. If the battery voltage drops down to 9.5V, the control panel will cut
off the battery in order to prevent it from a complete discharge and damage.
The J20 pins are used for setting the battery charging current:
350mA - pins shorted,
700mA - pins open.
Electronic short-circuit and overload protection is provided for each of the outputs OUT1-
OUT4 and +KPD.
Attention should be paid so as not to cause overloading of the control panel power supply in
the alarm system. It is advisable to make a load balance for the power supply. The total
current inputs for the consumers (detectors, keypads) and the battery charging current may
not exceed the power supply capacity. In case of a higher electric power demand, an
additional power supply can be used for some of the security system consumers (e.g.
APS -15, APS-30 manufactured by SATEL). Table 1 (at the end of this manual) shows an
example of estimated balance of current consumption by the system, and an example of
battery selection.
Two wires (red and black) are intended for connecting the battery, the red one is connected
to the battery „+” terminal, the black one to the „-” terminal. The battery circuit is protected
with a T 3.15A fuse. Metal connectors, which come with the control panel, can be used for
connecting cables to the battery (bolted connection, e.g. 17Ah battery). Owning to that the
battery cables lugs should not be cut off.
The J19 „RESET” pins make it possible to start the service mode without entering any
service code. This function can be disabled by the installer with software means (service
function FS131).
The „DIALER” LED is on during telephone messaging by the panel, and blinks during pulse
dialing of the telephone number.
The telephone line must be of a four-wire type so that the control panel can be connected
before the other equipment (telephone, fax, etc.).
The CA-10 control panel should be installed in an enclosed space with normal humidity of air.
The space should be fitted with an available permanent (not detachable) 230V power supply
circuit with protective grounding.
The control panel can be mounted in the CA-10 OBU housing (this
housing comprises a transformer designed for operation with the
control panel power supply), which permits installation of a battery with
17Ah capacity. Before the housing is secured to the base, it is
necessary to mount inside the housing plastic distance plugs, which are
intended for subsequent installation of the main board.
In case the plugs tend to slip out, the catches fixing the plug in the
housing need to be slightly bent aside (Figure 2). When inserting the
plug, press the central part of the head firmly in so that it is blocked in
the housing hole. It is advisable to make sure that the plug, when
pressed, does not slip out from the opening. During installation of the
housing, be careful so as not to damage the wires which will be passed
through the hole in its back panel.
When the housing is secured, you can install the control panel main

board and proceed to making the connections.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the mains power supply and the battery, until all the remaining
connections are completed.
CAUTION!
The control panel is power supplied from 230V AC mains. Negligence or wrong connection
may result in electric shock and pose a threat to life!
Therefore, be particularly careful when hooking up the control panel. In the process of
installation and connection of the control panel, the cable to be used for mains supply must
not be alive!
Connection of Keypads
The keypad is designed to operate indoors in normal humidity. It should be mounted straight
on a flat surface. The spring provided on the tamper contact must adhere to the base so that
the contact will open at an attempt to tear the keypad off the wall.
The control panel can operate both with LCD and LED keypads in any configuration.
Notes:
•We recommend keypads: CA-10 LED M v1.2 and CA-10 LED S v1.2 or newer to be used,
because older keypads LED M and LED S may work incorrect with keypad LCD v3.08
(and next version).
•Only zone expanders with version 2 are allowed (label dated February 1998 or later).
•The LCD display is fragile. It can be broken if the keypad is dropped to the floor !
●After power-up of the keypads LED-M and LED-S, and when the control panel quits the
service mode, the keypad will remain disabled and will not react to pressing any keys for 5
seconds. During that time the system settings are being read, and the keypad backlight is
blinking with a high frequency. Simultaneously, the keypad restores the automatic mode of
keypad illumination. The mode can be changed with the user function by holding down the
key [9].
The keypads should be connected to the control panel connectors COM, +KPD, DATA,
CLK1, CLK2, CLK3, CLK4. The connectors COM, +KPD and DATA are common for all
partitions, while the connectors CLK1, CLK2, CLK3 and CLK4 determine the partition the
keypad belongs to. Where the system will be operated with less than 4 keypads, they should
be connected starting from the CLK1.
The keypads should not be connected in parallel to one CLK signal (one partition - two
keypads). It applies to all LCD keypads, as well as the keypads CA-10 KLED-M and CA-
10 KLED-S. The only exception are the CA-10 KLED keypads, which may be connected in
parallel.
Each keypad should be connected with a separate cable. The distance between the keypad
and the panel can be up to 200m. Unscreened cables are recommended to be used for
connecting the keypads.
With a cable of the DY 8x0,5 type, the keypad-to-panel distances required to ensure correct
power supplying can be as follows:
№of cable cores
Distance Connection LCD keypad LED keypad
up to 50m Power supply & ground
CLK & DATA signals 2 x 1 2 x 1 2 x 1 2 x 1

18 Installer Manual SATEL
50-100m Power supply & ground
CLK & DATA signals 2 x 2 2 x 1 2 x 1 2 x 1
100-200m Power supply & ground
CLK & DATA signals 2 x 4 2 x 1 2 x 1 2 x 1
The keypads may be power supplied from the +KPD panel connector only. This output
can also be used for power supply of the keypad connected detectors, provided the total
current will not exceed 1.5A.
As the LCD keypad current consumption is larger than that of the LED keypad (particularly
with active illumination of the keypad and display), it is important that resistance of the power
supply and ground lead-ins be taken into account when planning the cabling installation.
Caution: The supply voltage measured across the terminal block of LCD keypad with active
backlighting should not be less than 11V.
