supply disconnected).
For safety reasons, the alarm system should only be installed by qualified personnel.
Telephone terminals of the panel should be connected to PSTN (analog) lines only.
Connecting to ISDN lines may cause damage to the equipment.
As the alarm system may contain hazardous items, its components should be kept out of
reach of unqualified personnel.
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 (with voltage on unloaded terminals
less than 11 V) to the alarm panel. To avoid hardware damage, the fully discharged or never
used battery should be precharged with the use of a suitable charger.
The batteries used in the alarm systems contain lead. The used-up batteries must not be
thrown away, but disposed of as required by the existing regulations (European Directives

CA-5 SATEL 3
3. CONTROL PANEL CHARACTERISTICS
3.1 ZONES
The CA-5 control panel has 5 zones, all of them on the mainboard. The control panel
accepts any detectors connected in the NC, NO, EOL, 2EOL/NC, and 2EOL/NO
configuration. The 2EOL configuration allows the control panel to simultaneously control the
detector and its tamper circuit while using one pair of wires.
The zones can serve the following functions in the system:
0 –
ENTRY/EXIT (monitors entry to and exit from the facility by the user; having detected
entry into the facility, it actuates the mechanism of interior zone alarm delay)
1 –
INTERIOR DELAY (if there is no entry into the facility, it works as the instant zone)
2 –
INSTANT (triggers alarm instantly after violation when the control panel is armed)
3 –
COUNTING (to 2 violations throughout the monitoring time as determined by the entry
delay – the second violation will trigger alarm)
4 –24H PANIC (armed 24 hours; makes it possible to connect panic buttons)
5 –24H FIRE (armed 24 hours; triggers the fire alarm)
6 –24H TAMPER (armed 24 hours)
7 –
ARMING/DISARMING,ALARM CLEARING (makes it possible to connect remote control set)
8 –
PERIMETER (armed from starting the exit delay countdown)
9 –
ENTRY/EXIT FINAL (having detected the end of violation of this zone, the alarm control
panel will end the exit delay countdown and enter the armed mode)
10–DELAYED
The number of zone function corresponds to the number programmable in the FS 26–30
service functions to determine the type of zone reaction.
The reaction time for each zone can be programmed from 0.016 s to 4.08 s (FS 16–20).
For the zones types 0, 1, 3, 9 and 10, individual delay times can be set (FS 31–35).
For each zones, it is possible to determine six codes of events to be sent to the monitoring
stations (FS 57, FS 58, FS 60, FS 61, FS 80 and FS 81).
The zones can be selectively bypassed with the user function 4, while bypassing of the 24h
zones is only possible by using the service code.
See also: SETTINGS LIST, section „Zones”.
3.2 OUTPUTS
The CA-5 is fitted with 3 signal outputs (OUT1, OUT2, OUT3) and 2 power supply outputs
(AUX and KPD).
The OUT1 output (high-current, 1.1 A polymer fuse) is a specialized alarm output. It is
intended for connecting an audible siren. This output has two terminals: +OUT1 and –OUT1.
Activation of the output is effected by shorting the -OUT1 terminal to the common (basic
output polarization).
The +OUT1 terminal serves the function of a power supply output with 1.1 A polymer fuse.
The control panel monitors the fuse condition and signals output overload.
The OUT1 output can be assigned to selected control panel zone (FS 41 – 45). The selection
applies also to other BURGLARY ALARM outputs.
The low-current OUT2 and OUT3 outputs (OC, up to 50 mA) are programmable and each
of them can serve one of the following functions:
0 –
NOT USED

Installer Manual CA-5

1 –
BURGLARY ALARM (with the operating time equal to zero, the output is active until
clearing the alarm, e.g. visual indication)
2 –
KEYPAD ALARM
3 – READY STATUS (active when none of the zones is violated)
4 –
ARMED STATUS
5 –
INDICATOR OF AC, BATTERY OR TELEPHONE LINE TROUBLE
6 – AC LOSS INDICATOR
7 –
BATTERY TROUBLE INDICATOR
8 –
TELEPHONE LINE TROUBLE INDICATOR
9 – GROUND START SIGNAL (the signal of 2-second duration which occurs before "lifting
the handset" by the control panel and which is required by a specific type of
telephone exchange)
10 – TELEPHONE LINE RELAY (description see p. 17)
11 – MONO SWITCH (control type, activated for a specified time period with the user
function 7)
12 – BI SWITCH (control type, switched over permanently with the user function 8)
13 – RESETTABLE POWER (deactivated with the user function 9 for a time period
programmed as the output cutoff time – minimum 4 seconds)
14 – DURESS ALARM (signals disarming or alarm clearing with the use of a "duress" code)
15 – MONITORING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT (activated by the control panel for 3 seconds after
correctly ending communication with the monitoring station)
16 – PARTIALLY ARM STATUS (active when the armed mode is on with zones bypassed)
The number of output function corresponds to the number programmable in the FS 48 and
FS 50 service functions to determine the output function.
The OUT2 and OUT3 outputs in the active state will short-circuit the terminal to ground.
It is possible to alter the way of work of outputs. You can change polarization of the terminals
-OUT1, as well as OUT2 and OUT3 (FS 84 options 1, 2 and 3). By selecting the „Polarization
OUTn reversed” option (n – output number), the terminal will be shortened to the common in
its inactive state and cut off in the active state.
The following parameters can be programmed for the outputs:
−alarm signaling time (FS 47)/cutoff time of FS 49 and FS 51 outputs,
−burglary alarm signaling delay (FS 46, FS 82 and FS 83).
The output OUT1 is designed to signal the burglary and fire alarms. The installer can select
the identical signaling mode for the fire alarm and for the burglary alarm (FS 84 option 4),
however, the signaling delay (if any) will only apply to the burglary alarm.
The installer can activate the signaling of arming/disarming and alarm clearing on the OUT1
output (FS 84 option 5).
The power supply outputs for the detectors (AUX) and keypad (KPD) have a common
polymer fuse, limiting the current consumption from the power supply by the external devices
to 350 mA.
All the outputs are protected against inductive loads and impulse interference.
3.3 LED KEYPAD
In the LED keypad basic information concerning the system status is provided by means of
light emitting diodes LED (for detailed description, see the user manual). Displayed are the
status of zones and system (supervision, alarm), information on power supply status,
detection of emergency situation and operation in programming mode.

CA-5 SATEL 5
The way of keypad operation should be determined when programming the control panel
(FS 6–8). Provision is made for bypassing some functions (for instance, the option to trigger
special alarms, quick arming) and determining which audible signals are to be transmitted by
the keypad. It is possible to signal the exit delay or the entry delay times, zone violation with
the „chime” option, and alarm signaling.
The keypad illumination can be turned on permanently or activated automatically by pressing
any key, or, alternatively, by violating any zone when the system is in the armed mode.
The keypad has an individual NC type tamper contact (TMP), which opens after opening the
enclosure or separating it from the base, and which is to be included in the system tamper
circuit. The control panel checks the keypad for its presence in the system through the data
bus (DTA signal control).
3.4 LCD KEYPADS
The LCD keypad performs identical functions as the LED keypad. Additionally, it enables the
event log to be scrolled through, which is not available in the LED keypad. The liquid-crystal
display (2x16 characters) facilitates the system communication with the user and the installer.
The LCD keypad can be connected in parallel with the LED type keypads, or with other LCD
keypads. There are two versions of LCD keypads available (CA-5 KLCD-L
and CA-5 KLCD-S), which differ in dimensions and size of the display.

3.5 MONITORING
The CA-5 control panel can transmit information on the system status to a monitoring station
to one or two telephone numbers in various transmission formats.
The control panel will dial the second number of the station when the first number is
busy or the station does not confirm reception of the code. No matter which number is
reached by the control panel, all events are transmitted.
Note: In order to make monitoring possible when the control panel is in the downloading
mode, it is necessary to terminate communication by using the „Quit communication”
command in the „Communication” menu of the DLOAD10 program.
It is possible to send information on the events concerning arming/disarming, zones (alarms,
tamper), as well as system events. Information can be sent to the station in one of the fifteen
transmission formats (including the Contact ID).
Owing to analysis of the commutation signals, the CA-5 control panel controls the process of
establishing connection with the station, which in case of high occupancy of the line
considerably reduces the time between occurrence of the event and sending the information
to the monitoring station. Repeated dialing attempts are made immediately on detecting the
busy signal, as a result of which the connection is established many times faster than through
the devices which wait for a specific signal during a pre-determined time and only repeat the
dialing attempt on detecting that the signal has not occurred.
3.6 MONITORING –PERSONAL NOTIFICATION
The CA-5 panel monitoring function can be used for telephone notification of events taking
place in the security system (e.g. alarm or AC power failure). Short audible signals,
characteristic of transferring data to the monitoring station, will be heard in the telephone
handset.
In order to initiate telephone messaging by means of audible signals, the alarm control panel
must be programmed as follows:

1. Enter the control panel service mode.
2. Call in the FS 76 function and delete all the monitoring codes.
3. Using the FS 52 & FS 53 functions, program the telephone numbers to which the audible
information on events is to be sent. If the first number is busy, the control panel will dial the
second number.
4. Select the „0 no handshake” data transmission format in the FS 54 & FS 55 functions
(„13: Ademco Slow without confirmations”).
5. By means of the FS 56 function, set any four-character control panel identifier, e.g. 1111.
6. Assign codes to the events which are to be reported by the control panel, e.g. using the
FS 57 function program the zone alarm codes.
7. Enable monitoring – FS 10 Option 1.
3.7 REMOTE PROGRAMMING –DOWNLOADING
In order to facilitate its programming, the CA-5 control panel has been equipped with
a DOWNLOADING feature, which enables a computer to be used for programming and
control of the security system. The programming may be effected directly through the control
panel RS-232 port (with TTL standard signals) or by means of a modem through the
telephone line terminals TIP and RING.
3.7.1 MODEM
Interfacing with the computer by means of the modem can be performed in two ways:
either in the remote mode (by means of the telephone cable network), or in the local mode.
In both cases the computer must be equipped with a modem.
The local mode of programming can be entered by connecting the modem directly to the
properly polarized TIP and RING telephone terminals of the control panel (see Figure 3).
The telephone line must be disconnected from the control panel.
Note: Some modems require a capacitor (of at least 1 µF) to be connected in the circuit to
separate the constant voltage polarizing the control panel telephone input.
Having initialized the modem in the DLOAD10 program (see section STARTING THE
CONTROL PANEL) and having selected from the Communication menu the ÆModem
command,and then the ÆLocal connection with… command, activate the FS 77 service
function in the control panel. When the communication is established, download the
control panel data and then proceed to download the events, program parameters, etc.
The remote mode of programming can be reached by establishing the telephone
connection between the service computer and the control panel. Initialization of the
communication through the telephone line is possible in three modes:

1. The computer calls the alarm control panel, which, having answered the call,
exchanges communication passwords with the computer. If they are correct,
the control panel confirms reception of the remote programming order, hangs up and
calls the computer back to the number pre-programmed in the control panel. Before
calling back, the control panel notifies the monitoring station on starting the
programming process.
2. The computer calls the control panel and, after handshaking, the control panel
proceeds directly to data exchange. This simplified mode of establishing connection
can be reached, when no computer telephone number is entered on the control panel.
The monitoring station will be notified after communication with the computer is ended.
3. Establishing communication on the control panel side by means of the 0 function
called by the master user or the service. Having called the function, the control panel
dials the computer telephone number pre-programmed with the FS 4 service function
and, after completion of the programming, notifies the monitoring station.
Initialization of the connection by the computer can be disabled.
In order to reduce the telephone connection costs, the transmission can be repeatedly
suspended. In case of a new connection, the control panel does not inform the monitoring
station of the remote programming, as this is only done before the first call-back. Instead,
after receiving the communication termination command, information on completion of the
remote programming is sent to the station. After suspending communication on the
computer side, the control panel is waiting four hours for a call, even when the automatic
call answering function is disabled. If the communication is not terminated with the “end”
but with the “suspend” command, the information on terminating the communication is
registered in the event memory and, after four hours, sent to the monitoring station.
Communication with the computer requires:
•The following to be programmed in the control panel:
−FS 2: control panel password (the identifier which allows the program to
recognize the security system).
−FS 3: computer password (the identifier which allows the control panel to
recognize computer authorized for communication).
−FS 4: computer telephone number (it is not necessary but provides higher
protection against unauthorized access by the telephone line).
−FS 5: number of rings before answer (where the communication is to be
initialized from the computer).
−FS 11 option 1: if the DWNL function is to be initialized from the outside (by the service
computer).
•Cable connection (telephone or local) of the control panel with the computer modem.
•Launching the DLOAD10 program and initializing the modem operation.
•Setting identical communication passwords, options and number of rings in the security
system with those pre-programmed in the control panel.
3.7.2 RS-232 PORT
The alarm control panel can be programmed through the RS serial port by means of
a special cable. In order to begin programming, enter the Communication menu and
select ÆLocal connection with…, then select the control panel type ÆCA5 – RS-232.
Start the FS 78 service function in the control panel. Conformity is required between the
communication passwords of panel and computer (FS 2 and FS 3) programmed in the
control panel and included in the DLOAD10 program data.

4. INSTALLATION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
4.1 DESCRIPTION OF MAINBOARD
The control panel mainboard contains electronic components sensitive to
electric charges. Prior to installation, these charges must be removed. During
installation, avoid touching any elements on the control panel mainboard.
Explanations for Fig. 4:
1. Emergency power supply cables – connect the red one to the battery terminal “+” and the
black one to the battery terminal “-“. The battery circuit is protected with a 2.5 A polymer
fuse.
2. RJ socket to connect the control panel RS-232 port with the computer COM port
- the RS-232 (TTL) port is intended for programming the alarm system parameters from
the computer. As the control panel sends and receives a TTL standard signal (0 V, +5 V),
the RS port of the panel and the COM port of computer must be connected with a special
cable manufactured by SATEL. The cable includes a converter changing the signal into
a standard corresponding to the RS-232 port in the computer (-12 V, +12 V). The data can
be transmitted through the cable in both directions. For programming, a cable available
in the kit designated DB9FC/RJ-KPL is required.
Notes:
•The socket may only be used when programming the panel. Never leave the RS cable
permanently attached.
•Do not short or touch the pins with your fingers.
•Prior to connecting the cable, the installer should remove the electrostatic charge, e.g.
by touching a grounded equipment (faucet, heater, etc.) with the top of his hand.
Figure 4. Schematic view of CA-5 panel electronics board.

Installer Manual CA-5
10
•It is recommended that the cable be connected first to the control panel connector, and
then to the computer connector.
3. The JP1 „RESET” pins – make it possible to start the service mode without entering any
service code. This function can be disabled by the installer with the software means (see:
FS 9 – Option 1).
4. The „DIALER” LED – it is lit up during telephone messaging by the control panel, and
blinks during pulse dialing.
Next to the LED is situated an adjustable resistor. Its setting should not be
changed, since it would cause incorrect work of the dialer (loss of the capability
of dialing in the DTMF system and monitoring in the „Ademco Ex” and „Contact
ID” formats).
BOARD TERMINALS:
AC – module power supply inputs (18 V AC ± 10%)
Z1 to Z5 – zones
OUT1 – signaling output (current-carrying capacity 1.1 A)
OUT2, OUT3 – control panel programmable outputs (current-carrying capacity 50 mA)
DATA, CLK – keypad bus terminals
KPD – keypad power supply output (+12 V)
AUX – detectors power supply output (+12 V)
COM – common (0 V)
– protective terminal – ground (connect to protective circuit only)
TIP, RING – external telephone line terminals
T-1, R-1 – internal telephone line terminals (telephone set connection)
The AC terminals are intended for the supply of alternating voltage from the mains
transformer. The control panel power supply is suitable for operation with the input voltage of
18 V AC ± 10%. The control panel is fitted with an advanced pulse-type power supply of high
energy efficiency and operational reliability, the correct functioning of which requires,
however, that the input voltage at the maximum load of the transformer by the control panel
never drop below 16 V AC.
The control panel power supply (current efficiency 1.2 A) is fitted with:
•voltage stabilization system (the voltage value of 13.6 V–13.8 V DC is factory set during
production process and should not be changed);
•battery status monitoring system with optional disconnection of the battery if discharged
- during testing the processor reduces the power supply voltage to about 10.5 V and the
consumers are powered from the battery. The testing takes place every 4 minutes and
lasts for less than twenty seconds. If the battery voltage drops down to about 11 V, the
control panel will report a trouble. In case of the voltage fall to 9.5 V, the control panel will
cut off the battery in order to prevent it from being completely discharged and damaged.
Attention should be paid so as not to cause overloading of the control panel power supply in
the security 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

CA-5 SATEL 11
an example of estimated balance of current consumption by the system, and an example of
battery selection.
The CA-5 mainboard enables an electric shock protection circuit (grounding) to
be connected. The protective cable terminal is designated by the symbol.
The „neutral” wire of the 230 V AC mains supply must not be connected to it.
If the site has no separate electric shock protection circuit, this terminal must be
left free.
The telephone line must be a four-wire line so that the control panel can be connected
before the other devices (telephone, telefax, etc.).
Do not send telephone signals and alarm system signals by one multicore cable.
This may result in a damage to the system in case of a high-voltage punch-
through from the telephone line.
The CA-5 control panel should be installed in enclosed spaces with a normal humidity of air.
It can be mounted in the CA-6 OBU housing with a transformer designed
for operation with the control panel power supply, which permits
installation of a battery with 7 Ah 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 mainboard.
In case the plugs tend to slip out, the catches fixing the plug in the housing
need to be slightly bent aside (Figure 5). When inserting the plug press in
the central part of the head firmly in so that it is blocked in the housing.
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 mainboard
and proceed to making the connections.
4.2 CONNECTION OF POWER SUPPLY
It is required that the control panel be permanently connected to the mains power. Therefore,
prior to starting the work on the system cabling, make yourself familiar with the electrical
installation of the site and select a circuit which is permanently alive to power the control
panel. The circuit is to be protected with an appropriate fuse.
The control panel is power supplied from the 230 V AC mains. Carelessness or
wrong connection may result in electric shock and pose a threat to life!
Therefore, exercise particular caution when connecting 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!
Description of electrical connections to the CA-6 OBU housing.
The AC power supply unit encased in the plastic box is fully electrically isolated from the
metal housing.
•Connect the 230 V alternating voltage leads to the transformer terminals marked
“AC 230 V”.
•Connect the output voltage wires of the transformer secondary winding to the “AC~18 V”
terminals on the control panel mainboard.
Figure 5.

•Connect the wire of the electric shock protection circuit to the terminal block provided next
to the transformer and marked with the ground symbol . This circuit should also be
connected to the control panel protective terminal.
STARTING PROCEDURES FOR THE CONTROL PANEL POWER SUPPLY.
1. Connect the emergency power supply wires to the corresponding battery terminals
(the red one to the battery plus, the black one to the minus). The control panel will not
start on connecting the battery alone (without the mains power connected), however,
it will keep on working in case of the ~230 V AC voltage trouble, provided it was started
before.
2. Switch on the ~230 V AC mains supply – the control panel gets started.
Connection of the power supplies in the prescribed order will permit correct functioning of the
power supply unit and the control panel electronic safety devices, thus avoiding damage to
the security system elements caused by possible installation faults.
IMPORTANT:
•Never switch on the control panel power supply until all the remaining connections are
completed.
•If it is necessary to completely disconnect the control panel power supply, the 230 V
alternating voltage should be disconnected first, then the battery. Re-connection of the
power supply is to be performed in the above mentioned order (the battery first, then the
230 V alternating voltage).
As the control panel has no isolating switch to disconnect the mains supply,
it is important that the owner or the user of the security system be informed on
how the system is to be disconnected from the mains (e.g. by indicating the fuse
which protects the control panel supply circuit).
4.3 CONNECTION OF KEYPAD
The CA-5 control panel interfaces with SATEL made LED and LCD type keypads.
Note: The control panel in version 2.10 supports LCD keypads in program version 1.08
or later, and CA-5 KLED-S keypads in version 1.1 or later.
The keypad should be connected to the system with a four-wire line, using the COM, KPD,
DTA, CLK connectors on the control panel. It is recommended to use an untwisted
unshielded cable 8x0.5 mm2(do not use twisted pair). Where this cable is used, the cable
length can be up to 200 m.

to 100 m Supply and common ground

to 200 m Supply and common ground CLK and DTA signals 2 x 2 2 x 1
Provision is made for connecting additional keypads (in parallel to the others). Each
keypad should be connected to the control panel by means of a separate cable. If this is the
case, activation of the programming mode (service or user one) from any keypad will block
the operation of the other keypads.

CA-5 SATEL 13
The tamper contact (NC) of the keypad should be connected with the system tamper circuit.
Where two keypads are connected in parallel, the (TMP) tamper contacts should be
connected in series, and the other keypad wires – in parallel.
IMPORTANT: If one of the system zones has been programmed as 24H TAMPER and used
for protection of the system elements against tamper, thus creating an
tamper circuit, violation of such a zone will trigger no alarm if the control
panel is in the service mode. If the control panel gives an alarm at the
moment of exiting the service mode, it can mean violation of the tamper line
(opening of one of the contacts).
4.4 CONNECTION OF DETECTORS
The circuit connected to the EOL configured zone is to be closed with a 2.2 kΩresistor.
In case of 2EOL zone, the detector output is to be closed with two 1.1 kΩresistors. This type
zones (2EOL) allow the control panel to simultaneously monitor the status of detector and its
tamper contact (see Figure 10).
The NO and NC detectors in 2EOL configuration can be connected in the identical way, it is
only important to indicate to the control panel what type of detector is connected to the zone
(2EOL/NO or 2EOL/NC). The same is the case with the detectors having no parameter.
The AUX output is intended to be used for powering the detectors. Separation of the detector
power supply common and the zone common permits eliminating the adverse effect of the
wiring resistance. Assuming that the cable is not very long and that it has just one detector
connected, it is possible to make the installation simpler by leading the power supply
common wire and the signal common wire in one conductor.
Notes:
•The real system tamper circuit should also include the tamper contacts of keypad, sirens,
control panel housing, etc.

4.5 CONNECTION OF SIRENS
Where sirens are used that give alarm when power supply is switched on, the "+" of siren
power supply should be connected to the control panel +OUT1 terminal, and the siren common
– to the control panel –OUT1 terminal. In this mode, one independent siren can be set.

Where sirens with internal battery of their own are employed, the +OUT1 output should be
used to power the sirens, the siren common should be connected to the control panel COM
terminal, and the triggering signals should be provided by the –OUT1 output and the OUT2
and/or OUT3 low-current outputs.
Triggering alarm in the sirens can be brought about by shorting to or cut off from the common
ground (reversed polarization of the control panel output – FS 84).
The OUT2 and OUT3 outputs can be utilized to control the relays switching on any sirens or
other equipment. The relays can be directly connected to the outputs, as shown in Figure 11
which presents connection of the optical signaling SPL-2010 siren. It should be borne in mind
that these outputs can be loaded with a maximum current of 50 mA.
4.6 CONNECTION OF TELEPHONE LINE
If the security system utilizes the control panel telephone communicator (for remote
programming or monitoring), it is necessary to connect telephone line to the control panel.
It should be connected to a connector situated on the right side of the electronics board.
In order to ensure proper operation of the dialer, the control panel must be directly
connected to the line (connectors designated as TIP and RING), and any other devices
(telephone, telefax) – after the control panel (connectors designated as T-1 and R-1). Such
a connection will make it possible for the control panel to fully engage the line for the time of
calling, which prevents the monitoring function from being blocked by lifting the handset.
Additionally, the telephones connected after the control panel do not signal the dialing by the
control panel.
Telephone terminals of the panel should be connected to PSTN lines only.
Connecting to ISDN lines may lead to damage of the equipment.
System installer should give the necessary information on the way of
connection with telephone network to system owner.
4.6.1 TELEPHONE LINE RELAY
The control panel has been fitted with the telephone line relay function, which improves
the efficiency of monitoring. The function is served by the type 10 TELEPHONE LINE RELAY
output. Where two telephone lines are available at the site, this output can directly control
the relay to switch over the telephone line connected to the TIP and RING terminals.
The output gets activated if problems occur with sending the code to both telephone
numbers of the monitoring station.

The function works in the following way:
•The control panel dials the first number of the monitoring station in order to send the
event code. If it fails to send the code, the other number of the station is dialed.
•If connection to the second number fails, the control panel switches over the telephone
line and dials again the first number of the station. When the problem recurs, the control
panel redials the second number.
•If the code is still not received by the station, the control panel returns to the first
telephone line (deactivates the type 10 output) and repeats the whole cycle of dialing
the station numbers.
5. STARTING THE CONTROL PANEL
After all electrical connections are made and their correctness checked, you can proceed to
start the system. It is recommended to begin the work with the control panel with no sirens
connected. These can be connected after programming parameters is completed and
operation of the realized security system tested.
After the power is switched on, the keypad will report readiness for work with four short
beeps followed by a long one. If the panel starts alarming (the [ALARM] LED is on and the
keypad makes a continuous sound), it usually means that a tamper alarm has been triggered
by incompatibility of factory settings with parameters of the connected detectors. To clear the
alarm enter the MASTER access code [1][2][3][4] and press [#]. Then, enter the factory
service code [1][2][3][4][5] and accept it with the [#] key – the control panel will enter the
service mode. The [PROGRAM] LED will come on and will be lit up continuously and the
keypad will start emitting a short beep every 3 seconds. At this moment, you can proceed to
programming the control panel.
The list of service functions as well as the method of introducing and changing of
system parameters by means of the keypad have been described in a separate
instruction called SETTINGS LIST.
If the service code is unknown (as its contents was previously changed), it is necessary to
carry out the procedure of entering the service mode „from the pins”. This procedure is
presented together with the description of service functions in the SETTINGS LIST.
Note: Blinking of all LEDs and sound signals given at the same time by the keypad indicate
that there is a faulty connection (no communication with the control panel) – the cable
connections must be checked.
If the suggested procedure turns out to be unsuccessful, the option to enter the service mode
„from the pins” must have been disabled in the control panel by software means. If this is the
case, it is necessary to carry out another procedure which would unblock the control panel
and restore the factory settings - see description of the FS 9 service function in the SETTINGS
LIST.
After completing the procedure, exit the service mode using the FS 0 function and call the
service mode again – this time from the keypad – entering the factory access code
[1][2][3][4][5] and accepting it with the [#] key.
Re-entering the service mode by the control panel means that the equipment operation is
correct and programming of all necessary parameters may be commenced.
A trouble with entering the service mode by hardware method points to incorrect performance
of the above mentioned procedures.
