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 signaling devices), lightning
(overhead telephone lines, power lines, outside signaling devices), 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 signaling devices and telephone monitoring is correct.
The installer gives specific instructions on how the system should be controlled. Periodic
commissioning of the installer's maintenance service is recommended.
The user, in his own interest, should predict 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. organizing
evacuation.
ALARM SYSTEM OPERATING COSTS
The main task of the control panel is signaling and efficient reporting of alarm situations
and, in the case of the monitoring function, 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 to a large degree 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 kind
of the 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.
GENERAL FEATURES
The CA-5 alarm control panel is an advanced, microprocessor base device designed for
burglary and assault alarm systems. It is characterized by a 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
OPERATION
This manual contains description of operating the CA-5 alarm control panel by means of
the LED-M keypad.
Basic operation of the security system comes down to arming and disarming the system
(supervision), and to adequate reaction to the information the control panel may signal on
the keypad.
By means of the control panel keypad, it is possible to trigger special alarms (PANIC,
FIRE, HELP), to bypass the incoming lines, 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), 3 light emitting diodes (LEDs), as well as audible signals.

4 User Manual
There are available two version of LCD keypads (CA-5 KLCD-L and CA-5 KLCD-S) that
differ in the dimension and the size of display.
The keypad and the display backlight illumination can be permanent or switched on
automatically by pressing a key, or, alternatively, by violation of any control panel zone
when armed – the mode of backlight operation should be determined by the installer.
The number key letters help the user memorize a code by associating it with a particular
word (e.g. the „[5][6][2][7][2]” code corresponds to the word „KOBRA”).
LED Functions
Some of the LEDs are mounted only in the LED keypads type – their tasks are performed
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.
•1÷5– the status of control panel armed zones:
−off - the zone is free (not violated)
−on - the zone is violated
−on with short extinguishing every 2 seconds - the zone anti-tampering circuit is violated
−fast blinking - the zone caused an alarm condition
−blinking every 2 seconds - the zone anti-tampering circuit has caused an alarm
−slow blinking - the zone is bypassed
•POWER (green) – indicates the control panel power supply status:
−on - power supply and battery OK
−blinking - low battery

alarm or trouble review function has been activated (HOLD DOWN).
Status of Control Panel Armed Zones
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 meaning:
- the zone is free (not violated)
¦- the zone is violated
- the zone anti-tampering circuit is violated
a- the zone caused an alarm condition
s- the zone anti-tampering circuit has caused an alarm (tamper memory)
b- the zone is bypassed
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),
•two long - a wrong access code, canceling a function or incorrect data for a function,
•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 „arming control” - 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.
System events signaling:
•continuous signal – alarm condition,
•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 time countdown,
•five short signals - "CHIME" zone violated.
Which events are signaled acoustically is determined by the installer.

6 User Manual
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
(similarly as with 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 way of signaling for the fire alarm as for the burglary
alarm (i.e. the continuous signal).
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).
Entering of the access code in the control panel consists in pressing the corresponding
keys on the keypad according to the order of the code digits and finishing the full
sequence with the [#] or [*] keys (depending on the intended purpose). The control panel
comes with the factory-set master user access code: 1234 and the service code: 12345.
Using the master user code it is possible to 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 by means of this code results in
sending a special code to the monitoring station). This type of access code cannot be
changed with user function 1;
•Access code No. 5 – permits disarming only when the same access code was used
for arming the system, thus making 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).
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:
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, signaling devices, keypad).
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.

CA-5 SATEL 7
PARTIAL ARMED MODE WITH NO EXIT FROM THE SITE
The supervision 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 time countdown, the selected zones of the control
panel will be automatically bypassed, and activation of the detectors connected to those
zones will trigger no alarm.
Arming [CODE][#]
The arming is only possible when the system is signaling no alarm and 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 time”, 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 time and the way the audible signaling
works.
EXAMPLE: Arming with the user access code: 39763.
press in turn: [39763] [#]
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 („arming
control” option) and one of them is being violated – the panel signals this state with
three long beeps. 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 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.
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);

8 User Manual
•the function is disabled by the installer – this situation will be signaled with two long
beeps.
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/or 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 if 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.
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).
„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 keypads type the viewing are performed differently.
LCD keypad
To start the viewing, call the function and press any of the arrow keys –information will be
display on the most recent alarm condition, referring to function selected. 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).

CA-5 SATEL 9

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.
Alarm Memory Review [5]
Holding down the 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),
•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,

10 User Manual
On depressing and holding down the 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.
Current Trouble Check-out [7]
When the control panel signals a trouble detection (the TROUBLE LED is blinking),
holding down the 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
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.
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.

CA-5 SATEL 11
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 three times a wrong
communication code – 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 does not lift the handset, does not send the invitation signal, or the
confirmation 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.
Switching the Chime On/Off [8]
This function (holding down the 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.
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.
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.
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

12 User Manual
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).
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”
diode. 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. 3 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 [S], [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 displays a suitable message and waits for the user to take
action.

NOTES:
•The functions 2 and 3 are available to the master user only.
•The „Events” function is available only in the LCD keypad after calling the user
function menu with master user code or service code.
•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).
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.

MONO outputs [CODE][*][7][#]
The purpose of the function is determined by the installer. It can, for instance, activate
electromagnetic locks, bells, signaling lamps or any other devices. The function is
available when the „MONO switch” type has been selected for one of the outputs.
Using this function switches on the output for a time specified by the installer. Performance
is confirmed by four short beeps and a long one.
The function is called in a similar way as for the user function 5.
BI outputs [CODE][*][8][#]
The purpose of the function is determined by the installer. It can be used, for example, for
switching on the external lighting or any electrical devices.
The function is active when the BI switch type is selected for one of the outputs.
Using the function permanently changes over the output status. If the output is off, the
function will switch it on, and if it is on, the function will switch it off.
Switching the output on is confirmed by the keypad with four short beeps and a long one,
while switching it off - with three short beeps.
The function is called in the same way as the user function 5.
Power Supply Reset [CODE][*][9][#]
The function is used for handling special detectors equipped with individual on/off memory,
which is cleared by shutting down power supply (for example, smoke detectors or broken
glass detectors).
Calling the function temporarily disconnects power supply for such detectors.
The function is active when the reset power supply type is selected for one of the outputs.
The function is called in the same way as the user function 5.
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
