1. TECHNICAL RELIABILITY OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM
The security system is built of technical devices, the reliability of which is vital for
effectiveness of the site protection. The security system elements are exposed to a variety of
outside factors, including the weather conditions (outside sirens), lightning (overhead
telephone lines, power lines, outside sirens), mechanical damage (keypads, detectors. etc.).
Maintaining a high level of the security system reliability is only possible by current control of
the functioning of particular devices.
The control panel is equipped with a number of safeguards and auto diagnostic functions
intended for testing the system reliability. The control panel signals trouble detection by
switching on the TROUBLE LED on the keypad. Such a situation requires an immediate
response and, if necessary, consultation with the installer.
It is necessary to periodically test the security system functioning. Make sure that the control
panel reacts to violation of individual detectors, that their field of vision is not blocked, that
there is a reaction to the opening of protected doors and windows, and that the functioning of
sirens and telephone monitoring is correct.
The installer should provide specific instructions on how the system should be tested. It is
recommended that periodical surveys be carried out by the installer, as requested by the
user.
The user, in his own interest, should anticipate unexpected alarm conditions and plan
adequate procedures. It is vital to be able to verify the alarm, to determine its source based
on the keypad information, and to take appropriate measures, e.g. to organize evacuation.
2. ALARM SYSTEM OPERATING COSTS
The main task of the control panel is signaling and efficient reporting of alarm situations and,
as far as the monitoring function is concerned, keeping the monitoring station informed about
the protected facility status. Performance of these functions is to a large extent based on the
use of a telephone line, which entails generating certain costs. Generally, the level of costs
incurred by the alarm system owner depends on the amount of information the control panel
has to transfer to the monitoring station. A failure of the telephone links, as well as incorrect
programming of the control panel, may considerably increase these costs. Such a situation is
usually related to an excessive number of connections made.
The installer can adjust functioning of the alarm system to the specific conditions and the
type of protected site, however it is the user who should decide if his or her priority is
transferring information at any price, or, if some technical problems occur, the control panel is
allowed to skip some events, the reception of which has not been confirmed by the
monitoring station.
3. GENERAL FEATURES
The CA-5 alarm control panel is an advanced, microprocessor based device designed for
burglary and panic alarm systems. It is characterized by simplicity of operation, legibility of
information for the user, and a high operational reliability. It has been fitted with a telephone
communicator (dialer) which enables the security system to operate together with
a monitoring station.
The control panel is intended for a variety of sites, including apartments, detached houses,
warehouses, stores, kiosks, etc.

CA-5 SATEL 3
4. OPERATION
This manual contains description of operating the CA-5 alarm control panel by means of the
keypad.
Operating the security system consists basically in arming / disarming the system (switching
the supervision on/off), and in adequate reaction to the information indicated by the control
panel.
By means of the control panel keypad, it is possible to trigger special alarms (PANIC, FIRE,
HELP), to bypass the zones, to establish communication with the service computer, and also
to control external electrical equipment, such as: electromagnetic lock, fan, lighting, etc.
The keypad provides information on the security system status by means of 10 light emitting
diodes (LED) and audible signals.
The LCD keypad provides information on the alarm system status by means of a liquid-
crystal display (2x16 characters), three light emitting diodes (LEDs), as well as audible
signals.
The LCD keypads are available in two versions i.e. (CA-5 KLCD-L and CA-5 KLCD-S) that
differ in their overall dimensions and the display size.
The backlighting of keypad and display can be permanent or switched on automatically by
pressing a key, or, alternatively, by violation of any control panel zone when in armed mode –
the manner of backlight operation should be determined by the installer.
The letters on number keys help the user memorize the code by associating it with
a particular word (e.g. the „[2][6][2][7][2]” code corresponds to the word „COBRA”).

Note: Access to all functions of the control panel in version 1.09 is made possible by: LCD
keypads in program version 1.07and later, CA-5 KLED-M keypads in version 1.2 and
later , and CA-5 KLED-S keypads in version1.1 and later.
4.1 LED FUNCTIONS
Some of the LEDs are only mounted in the LED keypads, their tasks in the LCD keypads
being taken over by LCD display.
•ALARM (red) – signals an alarm condition.
•ARMED (green) – indicates the system status:
−blinking (with the ALARM diode off) - countdown of the exit delay time,
−on - the zone is armed (optionally, the LED can be extinguished by the control panel
after elapse of 3 minutes from arming).
•1÷5– the status of control panel supervision zones (red):
−off - the zone is free (not violated)
−on - the zone is violated
−on with short extinguishing every 2 seconds - the zone tamper circuit is violated
(memory of 2EOL zone tamper alarm)
−blinking 0.5s/0.5s - the zone caused alarm (alarm memory)
−blinking 0.25s/0.25s - the zone has been violated or caused alarm as the first one
(counting from the moment of ending the exit delay countdown after arming)
−blinking every 2 seconds - the zone tamper circuit has caused an alarm (for the 2EOL
zone)
−slow blinking (1s/1s) - the zone is bypassed
Notes:
•Depending on the options set, the memory of alarm from zone is active until disarming and
alarm clearing, or until reviewing alarm log after previously disarming the system, or until
rearming the system.

CA-5 SATEL 5
•If, when the control panel is in armed mode, an ENTRY/EXIT or DELAYED zone will be
violated as the first one, and then another zone will set off alarm, then the memory of the
first alarm will be assigned to the zone which was violated first.
•If, after violation of an ENTRY/EXIT or DELAYED zone, the system will be disarmed without
setting off alarm, then the memory of the first alarm (violation) will be automatically
cleared.
•POWER (green) – indicates the control panel power supply status:
−on - power supply and battery OK
−blinking - low battery
−off - no mains power
•TROUBLE (yellow) – blinks when the control panel detects a technical problem or
a monitoring problem. The LED will go out when the trouble cause is removed or after the
function of checking the current troubles is performed (key 7 function).
•PROGRAM (red) – indicates the control panel operation in programming mode:
−on – service mode (additionally, a short beep every 3 seconds) – pressing successively
the [0][#] keys will result in return to the normal operation mode
−slowly blinking – user function mode
−fast blinking – programming of a function has been called (service or user); the alarm or
trouble viewing function has been activated (HOLD DOWN user function).
4.2 STATUS OF CONTROL PANEL ARMED ZONES IN LCD KEYPAD
The first five characters (counting from the left) in the LCD display lower line indicate the
state of detectors attached to the control panel armed zones. Stated below are the symbols
which may be displayed there, as well as their respective meanings:
- the zone is free (not violated)
¦- the zone is violated
- 2EOL zone tamper violated
a - the zone caused an alarm condition (alarm memory)
A - the zone has been violated or caused alarm as the first one (counting from the
moment of ending the exit delay countdown after arming – see notes in the section
on LED FUNCTIONS)
s- zone triggered the tamper alarm (memory of 2EOL zone tamper alarm)
S - tamper alarm caused as the first one (for 2EOL zone)
b - the zone is bypassed
4.3 CONDITIONS SIGNALED ACOUSTICALLY IN THE KEYPAD
The signals generated to confirm the operation on the keypad:
•one short – confirmation of pressing a key; activation of the review function in the keypad
(HOLD DOWN: 5, 6, 7)
•three short - confirmation of entering the mode of user functions programming;
deactivation of the chime signaling in the keypad (key 8), reset of the DURESS ALARM output
activity,
•one long (lasting approx. 1.5s) - refusal to arm due to violation of some zones which are
not supposed to be violated at the moment of arming,
•two long - a wrong access code, canceling a function or incorrect data for a function,

User Manual CA-5
6
•three long - an attempt to arm the system when the control panel is not ready for the job
(violated zones with the activated option of „priority” - see „Arming”), refusal to enter the
function,
•four short, one long – arming/disarming, entering the service mode, successful
completion of function programming, activating the chime signaling in the keypad.
•six short – partial arming (there are some zones bypassed).
System events signaling:
•continuous signal – alarm,
•intermittent signal - fire alarm,
•one short signal every 3 seconds - entry time countdown; service mode (with the
PROGRAMMING LED on),
•one long signal every 3 seconds - exit delay countdown,
•five short signals - violation of the "CHIME" type zone.
Which events are to be signaled acoustically should be determined by the installer.
4.4 EVENTS SIGNALED ON THE OUT1 OUTPUT
The installer may activate the signaling of arming/disarming and alarm clearing on the OUT1
output. If this output controls the siren operation, it will generate short sounds (in much the
same way as in the car alarm systems). The signals have the following meanings :
•one short sound – arming,
•two short sounds – disarming,
•four short sounds – clearing the alarm or disarming and clearing the alarm.
Additionally, the OUT1 output signals the typical situations for the security system:
•continuous signal – burglary alarm,
•intermittent signal 1s/1s – fire alarm.
The installer may select an identical manner of signaling for the fire alarm as for the burglary
alarm (i.e. the continuous signal).
4.5 USER ACCESS CODES
For everyday operation of the system it is necessary to know the user access code (the
access code is a sequence of 4 to 8 digits within the range of 0-9).
To enter the access code in the control panel, press the corresponding keys on the keypad in
the order of the code digits and finish the full sequence by pressing the [#] or [*] keys (as may
be required). The control panel comes with the following factory settings:
master user access code: 1234;
service code: 12345.
By using the master user code you can program 5 additional user access codes,or to
delete them if they were programmed before.
The installer can assign specific authority levels to some of the access codes to distinguish
them from the other user codes:
•Access code No. 4 – action under duress (disarming or alarm clearing by means of this
code results in sending a special code to the monitoring station, and activating the DURESS
ALARM output)
−access code cannot be changed with the user function 1;
−the code does not reset activity of the DURESS ALARM output.

CA-5 SATEL 7
•Access code No. 5 - does not disarm for other users – permits disarming only when the
same access code was used for arming the system, which makes it possible to control
(block) access to the site for the user who has such an access code at his disposal.
The service code provides access to some of the user functions (besides creating and
deleting the users, and arming or disarming the system).
4.6 ARMED MODE OF THE CONTROL PANEL
In order to adjust the security system to various situations, the CA-5 control panel offers
several armed modes:
4.6.1 Full armed mode
The operating mode when detectors connected to the control panel control the
protected site and violation of the protected areas is signaled by the control panel with
any available means (monitoring, sirens, keypad).
4.6.2 Silent armed mode
The supervision mode during which the alarms are transmitted to the monitoring station,
signaled in the keypad, and on the KEYPAD ALARM type of output.
4.6.3 Partial armed mode with no exit from the site
The armed mode with automatic bypassing of the zones (detectors) assigned by the
installer. If, after arming the system, the user has not left the site and has not violated
the entry/exit monitoring line during the exit delay, the selected zones of the control
panel will be automatically bypassed, and activation of the detectors connected to those
zones will trigger no alarm.
4.7 ARMING [CODE][#]
The arming is only possible when the system is signaling no alarm and it is not in the armed
mode: the ALARM and ARMED LEDs are off.
In order to arm the system, enter the user access code and confirm it with the [#] key. If you
made a mistake when entering the access code, press the [*] key and re-enter the code. The
access codes should be entered very carefully. Three consecutive mistakes may trigger the
alarm recorded in the events log as the „3 wrong codes alarm”.
If the code is entered correctly and arming is possible, the control panel will confirm the entry
with four short beeps followed by a long one and will get armed. In case the installer has pre-
programmed the „exit delay”, the ARMED LED will start blinking to indicate beginning of that
time countdown, and arming will take place when the countdown is over. The LCD keypad
will display information about exit time delay.
The installer determines the length of the exit delay and the way the audible signaling works.
EXAMPLE: Arming with the user access code: 39763.
press in turn: [3][9][7][6][3] [#]
The control panel may fail to arm the system if:
•the panel is not ready for arming the system: there are zones indicated by the installer
which must not be violated while the system is being armed („priority” option) and one
of them is being violated – the panel signals this state with three long beeps and displaying
the names of violated zones on LCD keypad.
In such a situation, you should wait until all the zones are ready (in the LED keypad the
LEDs 1÷5 will go out; in the LCD keypad – symbols of zone violation) and then arm the
system again (enter the access code). If one of the zones remains all the time violated
(in the LED keypad one of the LEDs 1÷5 is always on, in the LCD keypad the symbol of

User Manual CA-5
8
zone violation is displayed - it may be caused e.g. by the detector failure), the armed mode
can be activated after bypassing the given zone (using the function 4);
•the access code is incorrect – this situation is signaled with two long beeps.
•at least one output in the system performs the DURESS ALARM function and is on (active).
Using the code which does not carry out the „action under duress” function will reset the
a.m. output activity (three short beeps) without arming the system; the system will only be
armed on using any code again.
4.8 QUICK ARMING [0][#]
Quick arming without using any access code is possible by consecutive pressing of two
keypad keys:
EXAMPLE: [0][#] - arming
The control panel cannot arm the system when:
•an alarm condition is signaled by the panel (the ALARM LED is blinking);
•the panel is not ready to arm the system - which is signaled by the panel with three long
beeps (see description in the previous paragraph of this manual);
•the function is disabled by the installer – this situation will be signaled with two long beeps.
4.9 DISARMING AND ALARM CLEARING [CODE][#]
If the panel is armed (the ARMED LED is on or blinking) and/or it signals an alarm (the
ALARM LED is on or blinking), entering the user access code and confirming it with the [#] or
[*] key will disarm the system and clear the alarm. If, while entering the access code, you
make a mistake, press the [*] key and re-enter the code. The control panel will confirm
acceptance of the command by four short beeps and a long one, and by extinguishing the
ARMED LED and/or ALARM LED (if it was on).
The service code can only clear the tamper alarm or the keyboard alarm when the ARMED
LED is off (the control panel is disarmed).
The panel will not disarm the system or clear the alarm when the access code is wrong.
The user access code No. 5 will not clear the alarm in the armed mode if it has been
assigned a special authority level, and the system was armed by another user.
Refusal to clear the alarm is signaled with three long beeps.
4.10 REMOTE ARMING/DISARMING AND CLEARING ALARM
The installer may install in the security system a special remotely controlled radio line, or
a special button, designed for quick arming/disarming of the system or clearing of alarm. For
this purpose, one of the control panel programmable zones is used. The system will be
always armed in this mode (by violation of the zone), irrespective of the status (violation) of
the other zones of the control panel.
The zone can work in two modes:
•bistable - the control panel is armed when the zone is violated, and it is disarmed when the
zone is in its normal mode (not violated),
•monostable – each violation of the zone will change the control panel state to the opposite
one (i.e. it will arm the system when the panel was disarmed, and it will disarm the system
and clear the alarm if the panel was armed (and alarming). In the monostable mode, the
installer may restrict the zone operation to arming only, while disarming and alarm clearing
will require the user access code.
To facilitate remote control of the panel, the installer may activate the signaling of
arming/disarming on the OUT1 alarm output (see: Events Signaled on the OUT1 Output).

CA-5 SATEL 9
5. „HOLD DOWN” USER FUNCTIONS
The functions are available to every user of the protected site (without using the access
code). They are activated by holding down the function key until audible signal sounds in
the keypad. The first three functions refer to viewing the alarms and troubles. Depending on
the keypad type the viewing is done in different ways.
5.1.1 LCD keypad
To start the viewing, call the function and press any of the arrow keys - information on
the most recent alarm condition, referring to selected function, will be displayed. The
([S],[T]) arrow keys on the right side of the keypad allow the user to scroll through the
list of events provided by the alarm control panel. The events are displayed
chronologically ([S] - earlier ones, [T] - later ones).
Fig. 3. Example of events description.
The event description contains:
date - day and month
time of event - hour and minutes
source code (if possible) - kpd. keypad
- zo.n, n=1,2,..,5 - zone number,
- us.n, n=1,2,..,5 - ordinary user number
n=6 - master user
n=7 - service
name of event - description in words
The ([W],[X]) arrow keys on the left side of the keypad make it possible to display the
user name (default one or entered into the control panel memory by the installer using
the DLOAD10 computer program). Pressing the same key again will restore the
previous mode of event information display.
Pressing the [*] key terminates the viewing function.
The method of reading information from the LED keypad is described together
with particular functions.
5.2 ALARM MEMORY REVIEW [5]
Holding down the [5] key (until a single beep is heard) will display information on the most
recent alarm condition. The PROGRAM LED will be blinking, and the LEDs 1-5 will indicate
the cause of the alarm. Pressing any key (except for the [*]key, which gives you the option to
quit the memory log review immediately) displays the previous alarm conditions, up to the
earliest item recorded:
•zone alarms: one of the LEDs 1 to 5 is always lit up (burglary, panic, fire, tamper, and
other alarms, depending on how the zone functions have been set up by the installer),
04.07 14:01 zo.5
Tamper alarm

•keypad alarms: one of the LEDs is off, and the other LEDs 1 to 5 are on, the meaning of
the extinguished diode being as follows:
LED No ALARM DESCRIPTION
1 Fire alarm, keypad
2 Panic alarm, keypad
3 Auxiliary alarm, keypad
4 3 wrong access codes alarm
5 Keypad tamper alarm (short-circuiting of bus wires,
cutting off of keypad)
5.3 TROUBLE MEMORY REVIEW [6]
This function allows the panel user to review the detailed information on the system trouble
conditions from the panel memory log.
On pressing and holding down the [6] key (until you hear a single beep), the PROGRAM LED
will start blinking, and the LEDs from 1 to 5 will indicate the type of trouble according to the
list contained in the description of the CURRENT TROUBLE CHECK-OUT function. The list
of detectable troubles consists of two sets of five items each. Troubles relating to the first set
are indicated by the number of a lit up LED, whereas troubles relating to the second set are
indicated by the number of an extinguished LED (one of five).
The previous (earlier) troubles are available for readout by consecutively pressing any key of
the keypad, except for the [*] key which cancels the trouble memory review function.
5.4 CURRENT TROUBLE CHECK-OUT [7]
When the control panel signals a trouble detection (the TROUBLE LED is blinking), holding
down the [7] key (until you hear a single beep) will activate the Current Trouble Check-out
Function. On activating the function, the PROGRAM LED will start blinking, and the
LEDs 1 to 5 will indicate any possible troubles from the first set (list of troubles as per the
table). Pressing any key (except for the [*]key)will change the set of displayed troubles to
the other one, which will be signaled by two short beeps. Consecutive pressing of any key
will display information, alternately, on the first set of troubles and on the second one.
Pressing the [*]key will quit the function.
The meaning of the LEDs is as follows:
LED No. FIRST SET OF TROUBLES
1 230V AC power supply loss
2 Battery trouble (or F1 fuse)
3 OUT1 output trouble (F2 fuse)
4 Power supply outputs trouble (F3 fuse)
5 Clock loss
SECOND SET OF TROUBLES
1 No voltage on telephone line
2 Problem with access to settings memory
3 Wrong communication codes (connections from
computer blocked for 30 minutes by the panel)
4 Monitoring trouble
5 Dialing error

CA-5 SATEL 11
Note: During the trouble memory review, the extinguished LED No. 3 (a second set
trouble) means „Unsuccessful DWNL (downloading)”. The meaning described in the
table refers to the current trouble check-out only.
5.4.1 Description of some trouble signaling causes
230V AC power supply loss - the control panel is fitted with a backup power supply to enable
a limited time operation without the mains supply; if the AC loss is indicated despite the electrical
installation being OK, you should call the service.
Battery trouble - means that the battery voltage is too low (lower than 12V under load). This condition
may hold for several hours after AC supply loss (or after connecting a discharged battery). The
battery charging time depends on its capacitance (the battery is charged with direct current of
approx. 350mA, the time necessary for testing the battery status is about 12 minutes). This
signaling may also indicate blowing of the F1 fuse.
OUT1 output trouble - no load (e.g.: the siren wires cut off, the F2 fuse blown) or overload
(installation short-circuiting) – usually requires intervention of the service personnel.
Power supply outputs trouble - information on the installation fault (F3 fuse), requires
intervention of the service personnel (it can be only displayed during the trouble memory review).
Clock loss - occurs on disconnecting the power supply and restarting the control panel; the clock and
date should be set with the user function 6.
No voltage on telephone line - means cut-off of the telephone line; it may be also caused by
lifting the handset of the telephone connected to the same line for longer than the time specified by
the installer.
Problems with access to settings memory – may occur when the RESET pins on the control
panel main board are shorted. If the pins are open, and connecting the power off and on does not
clear the trouble signaling, intervention of the service personnel is necessary.
Wrong communication codes – means that during three consecutive communication sessions
with the computer the control panel hanged up after reading a wrong communication code three
times – in such a case, the panel suspends communication with the computer for 30 minutes (upon
answering a call it sends to the computer a message that the connection capability is disabled and
„hangs up”).
Monitoring trouble - this message indicates multiple occupancy of the line, when the monitoring
station fails to go "off hook", does not send the handshake, or the acknowledgement signal after
receiving the codes. If this signaling persists, the monitoring is ineffective and requires intervention
of the service personnel or the technicians from monitoring station.
Dialing error - information on the cause of an unsuccessful telephone connection (lack of the dialing
tone after the handset is lifted, or presence of an intermittent signal instead of the continuous one).
The signaling of trouble will remain on until next successful telephone connection.
Depending on the programmed options, the current trouble memory will be deleted on
clearing the cause of trouble, or only after running the above-mentioned current trouble
checkout function.
5.5 SWITCHING THE CHIME ON/OFF [8]
This function (holding down the [8] key) makes it possible to switch on/off the chime signal
(signaling the violation of selected zones when the control panel is disarmed) from the
keypad. Three short beeps in the keypad confirm switching off the chime signaling function,
whereas four short beeps and a long one mean that the signaling is on.
The installer specifies which zones will generate the chime signal.
5.6 FIRE ALARM [
*]
This function makes it possible to trigger the fire alarm from the keypad. The control panel
activates signaling on the OUT1 output in the keypad and sends an appropriate code to the
monitoring station. The function can be disabled by the installer.

User Manual CA-5
12
5.7 AUXILIARY ALARM [0]
The meaning of this alarm is specified depending on the needs. The function may transmit
information on the auxiliary alarm to the monitoring station (it may be, for example, a call for
medical assistance, as it was adopted in the Contact ID monitoring format).
The function may be disabled by the installer.
5.8 PANIC ALARM [#]
This function makes it possible to trigger the panic alarm from the keypad. The control panel
activates signaling on the OUT1 output in the keypad and sends an appropriate code to the
monitoring station. The function can be disabled by the installer or limited to the keypad and
monitoring only (the SILENT panic alarm).
6. USER FUNCTIONS ACCESSIBLE WITH ACCESS CODE
If the control panel is not armed and is signaling no alarm, the users can access several
functions useful in everyday operation of the security system.
The user functions described in this section are activated by entering the user access code
and confirming it with the [*]key (not the [#] key as is the case when arming the system).
LED keypad
The panel confirms entering the user function mode by the slowly blinking PROGRAM LED.
Next , press the key with the number of selected function and then the [#] key.
LCD keypad
The panel confirms entering the user functions mode with three short beeps and displays the
two first names out of the currently accessible user functions.
Fig. 4 Fragment of user functions menu - example.
To reach the required menu function, press the key with selected function number, or,
alternatively, move the „´”selection cursor up or down using the [▲], [T] keys so that it
indicates the suitable function. The function is activated upon pressing the [#] or [X] keys.
When activated, some functions require that data be entered or selection be made; if this is
the case, the control panel waits for the user to take action (a corresponding message will
appear on the LCD display; the PROGRAM LED will be blinking fast in the LED keypad).

Notes:
•The functions 2, 3 and 12 are available to the master user only, while the functions 0,10
and 11 - to the master user and the service.
•Pressing the [*] key at any time makes the control panel quit the user function mode.
•Having performed the function (or having refused to perform it), the control panel always
quits the user function mode. To carry out a next function you must re-enter the access
code, confirm it with the [*] key, select the function number and confirm it by pressing the
[#] key.
•Refusal to perform the function is signaled with three long beeps (e.g. after calling the
function 2, when all the access codes are already entered).
6.1 START DOWNLOAD [CODE][*][0][#]
The function connects the control panel by telephone with the service computer for remote
programming of the security system parameters and downloading the event memory log. The
function can be called by the master user and the service.
The computer program makes available to the computer operator a keypad working
simultaneously with the real keypads installed in the system, and provides detailed
monitoring of the system, including the status of its zones and outputs. The knowledge of the
users' access codes makes it possible to use the computer pad in the same way as any
additional system keypad (most of the user functions are available).
On activating the function, the panel engages the telephone line and connects to the service
computer. During the data exchange the telephone line will be busy. The service can
temporarily free the telephone line by suspending the downloading, and then calling the
control panel again to continue the data exchange. The installer should make the users
aware of it so that they will not answer the incoming calls to allow re-establishing of the
connection and correct completion of the transmission.
The function is called in the same way as the user function 5.
Connection between the control panel and the computer (after the panel is appropriately
programmed) can be initialized from outside by the computer calling the control panel, and
also can be effected by the installer in local mode using the corresponding service function.

User Manual CA-5

The meaning of audible signals generated on activating the function:
−three long beeps mean that the line is engaged by monitoring – wait and then repeat the
function calling attempt,
−two long beeps mean lack of the programmed computer number or unavailability of the
function to the given user.
Notes:
•The function enables connection between the panel and the computer, when the option to
establish communication from outside (from the computer) is blocked.
•Initiation of the programming from the outside may be useful e.g. when the user is often
absent from the site, and there is an urgent need for service intervention or remote testing
of the security system .
•Programming the computer telephone number (when the function initiating the
programming from the outside is available) is an extra safeguard against the panel being
accessed by any computer except the service one (in case unauthorized persons know the
communication access codes).
•It is possible to block the service computer access to the control panel for the time of
armed mode.
6.2 CHANGE ACCESS CODE [CODE][*][1][#]
The function permits changing the access code of the user who has activated the function. It
is only unavailable to the user 4, if a special „duress action” authority level has been selected
for him. Such an access code can only be changed by the master user by deleting and re-
entering it.
Having called the function, enter the new access code and press the [#] key.
In the LED keypad the number of the lit up LED (1-5) indicates which access code is being
changed. When changing the master code or the service code none of the LEDs 1-5 is on.
EXAMPLE: changing the access code from 1234 to 7890.
[1234] [*] - calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally with slow blinking of the PROGRAM LED,
[1][#] - calling the "change code" function,
confirmed with two short beeps and in the
LED keypad additionally with fast blinking
of the PROGRAM LED (in the LCD
keypad this function may be called using
[►] or [#] keys),
[78[90][#] - entering the digits of a new code and
accepting it, confirmed with four short
beeps and a long one – return of the
control panel to the normal operating
mode.
6.3 ADD USER [CODE][*][2][#]
This function permits adding new users of the system (i.e. the access codes capable of
controlling the panel operation). It is only available to the Master code user.
As new users are added to the system, they are automatically assigned consecutive numbers
by the panel. If the function is called after the number of entered users has reached five, the
control panel will generate three long beeps and will quit the user function mode. If any of the

codes have been deleted by means of the function 3, the control panel will allow new user
access codes to be entered in their place.
After calling the function, the control panel waits for entering the new user access code (4 to
8 digits). Afterwards, the [#] key should be pressed.
In the LED keypad the number of the user code being programmed is indicated by blinking of
one of the LEDs 1 to 5. In the LCD keypad the number of the user code is displayed.
EXAMPLE: entering the new user access code = 4938
(master user access code = 7890).
[7890] [*] - calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally with slow blinking of the PROGRAM LED,
[2][#] - calling the "enter new user access code" function, confirmed with two short beeps, and
in the LED keypad additionally with lighting up of one of LEDs 1-5 and fast blinking of
the PROGRAM LED (in the LCD keypad this function may be called with arrow keys),
[493827][#] - entering the new code digits and accepting it, confirmed with four short beeps and a
long one – return of the control panel to the normal operating mode.
6.4 ERASE USER [CODE][*][3][#]
The purpose of this function is to delete the access codes of existing users if the contents of
their code is lost, or to revoke the current users' authority to operate the security system. The
function is only available to the Master user.
After calling the function, the control panel will light up the LEDs with the numbers of current
user codes, and will display their numbers in the LCD keypad. Pressing the key with the digit
corresponding to the number of existing access code will extinguish the given LED (digit). In
order to delete selected access codes, it is necessary to extinguish their corresponding LEDs
(digits) and accept the selection with the [#] key. The LEDs (digits) indicate which access
codes will remain in the system after quitting the function.
EXAMPLE: deleting the third and fifth user's access codes (Master user code = 7890).
[7890] [*] - calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally slow blinking of the PROGRAM LED,
[3][#] calling the "erase user" function, confirmed with two short beeps, and in the LED
keypad additionally with lighting up of LEDs with the numbers of existing codes (e.g.
1,2,3,4,5) and with fast blinking of the PROGRAM LED (in the LCD keypad this
function may be called using arrow keys),
[3][5] - indicating the numbers of deleted access
codes – confirmed in the LED keypad by
extinguishing of the LEDs with numbers 3
and 5 (the LEDs 1, 2 and 4 are still lit up),
and in the LCD keypad by disappearing
of digits 3 and 5 from the display (digits 1,
2 and 4 are still on),
[#] - deleting the selected access codes; four short beeps and a long one signal end of the
function.
6.5 BYPASS ZONES [CODE][*][4][#]
The function enables bypassing of the zones in order to arm a part of the system or to
bypass malfunctioning detectors in the armed mode.
After calling the function, press the keys with numbers corresponding to the numbers of
zones to be bypassed (the LEDs or digits corresponding to the selected zones will on) and
confirm the selection with the [#] key.
After bypassing the zones and quitting the user function mode in the LED keypad, the
corresponding LEDs start slowly blinking, in the LCD keypad letters “b” will appear on the display
in the fields corresponding to the bypassed zones. The zones will remain bypassed until the next

disarming or their manual unbypassing with the same function. The unbypassing consists in
extinguishing the LEDs (digits) which correspond to the bypassed zones.
Bypassing/unbypassing a zone generates an event saved in the control panel memory.
Upon arming, the indication of bypassed zones is switched off.
Bypassing the Arm/Disarm type zones makes impossible the remote arming/disarming of the
system, as well as the alarm clearing. This operation must then be performed by entering the
access code from the keypad.
EXAMPLE: bypassing the zones 3 and 4 (user access code = 12321).
[12321] [*] - calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally with slow blinking of the PROGRAM LED,
[4][#] - calling the "bypass zones" function, confirmed with two short beeps (in the LCD keypad
this function may be called using arrow keys),
[3][4] - selecting the numbers of zones to be
bypassed – in the LED keypad the LEDs
3 and 4 will light up, in the LCD keypad
digit 3 and 4 will be displayed,
[#] - accepting the entered data - four short
beeps and a long one signal end of the
function.
Note: The 24h zones (which are on duty, whether the system is armed or not) can only by
bypassed by means of the service code.
6.6 ARM SILENT [CODE][*][5][#]
In the silent armed mode, the alarms are not signaled on the OUT1 output and on the output
programmed as BURGLARY ALARM. They are only signaled in the keypad and by sending
a message to the monitoring station. The function is unavailable for service.
EXAMPLE: activating the silent armed mode (user code = 1230).
[1230] [*] - calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally slow blinking of the PROGRAM LED,
[5][#] - activating the silent armed mode - four short beeps and a long one signal the end of
the function (in the LCD keypad this function may be called using arrow keys).
Note: If a zone monitored during armed mode activation is violated on calling the function,
the control panel will refuse to perform the function.
6.7 SET TIME [CODE][*][6][#]
The function permits setting the control panel clock (day, month, hour). Present year is set by
the installer with the service function. The real indications of time and date ensure correct
interpretation of the events recorded in the panel memory log. The history of events may be
downloaded by means of the LCD keypad or the computer and its program managing the
CA-5 alarm control panel.
The programming procedure is as follows:
- HOURS, MINUTES - acknowledge ([H][H][M][M][#]),
- MONTH, DAY - acknowledge ([M][M][D][D][#]),
The hour should be given in the 24-hour format (with "zero" before the hour less than 10).
