INSTALLER
MANUAL

WARNINGS
For safety reasons, the alarm system should only be installed by qualified personnel.
The control panel should be connected to PSTN (analog) lines only. Connecting the
telephone circuit directly to digital network (e.g. ISDN) will cause damage to the equipment.
The alarm system may comprise dangerous devices, therefore it is necessary that its
components be kept so as to prevent unauthorized access to the equipment.
In order to avoid the risk of electric shock, read carefully this manual before proceeding to
installation. Any connections should only be made in deenergized state, i.e. with power
supply disconnected.
If the service operations consist in fuse replacement, they must only be carried out with
supply voltage disconnected. Only fuses having identical parameters with the original ones
can be used for the replacement.
It is recommended that the manufacturer’s prescribed 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 11V) to the alarm panel. In order to avoid equipment damage, the fully discharged /
never used battery should be precharged by means of a suitable charger.
The batteries used in the alarm systems contain lead. When used-up, the batteries must not
be thrown away, but disposed of as required by the existing regulations (European Directives
91/157/EEC and 83/86/EEC).

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Zones
In its basic configuration, the CA-6 control panel has 8 zones: 6 on the panel main board and
2 in the keypad. The zones can support any detectors in the configuration NC, NO, EOL,
2EOL/NC, 2EOL/NO. The use of 2EOL configuration enables the panel to simultaneously
control the detector and its tamper circuit by means of one pair of wires.

CA-6 SATEL

The zones (input lines) can perform the following functions in the system:
00 - exit/entry - the violation of which, when in the armed mode, will start countdown of the
entry delay time and will enable the delay for INTERIOR DELAY type zones
(violation of an INTERIOR DELAY zone without prior violation of the ENTRY/EXIT
zone will trigger an alarm immediately). Upon violation, a “zone violation” code is
sent to the report station (it is possible to skip sending this message), and, after
counting down the "entry delay time" and triggering the alarm - a “zone alarm”
code. The "entry delay" countdown can be signaled in the keypad. It is possible to
define automatically bypassing zones if no ENTRY/EXIT zone is violated during
the exit delay time”. Because of its additional functions, this zone type cannot be
used as a common zone for both partitions.
01 - delayed - when violated in the armed mode, it starts delay countdown, after which an
alarm is triggered. It will not occur if the zone is disarmed before completion of the
delay countdown. Upon violation, a “zone violation” code is sent to the report
station, after counting down the entry delay time and triggering the alarm - a “zone
alarm” code. The delay is not signaled in the keypads.
02 - interior delayed - when violated in the armed mode after previous violation of the
ENTRY/EXIT zone, it behaves like a DELAY zone. When violated in the armed
mode without previous violation of the ENTRY/EXIT zone, it behaves like an
INSTANT zone.
03 - instant - when violated in the armed mode, it immediately triggers an alarm and sends
a ”zone alarm” message to the monitoring station.
04 - day/night - when violated in the armed mode, it behaves like an INSTANT zone, while
when disarmed, it will signal violation in the keypad (unless function is disabled –
FS20, second set, option 3) and send a “zone violation” code to the station.
05 - counting L1 - when violated in the armed mode, it increases the status of the first of
three violation counters (a “zone violation” code is sent to the station), until the
number of violations specified for that counter is exceeded (programming in FS7).
Then the violation triggers an alarm (a ”zone alarm” code is sent to the report
station). By default, the count-up time is set at 30 seconds. It is possible to
program another counter count-up time (FS-123). If the preset number of
violations is not reached within this time, it will be reset. The next zone violation
will start the add-up procedure all over again. The violations are added up starting
from zero, and the count-up time starts upon the first violation after resetting the
counter. The "counting L1" function can be assigned to more than one zone, in
that case violations of those zones will be summed up. The zone will trigger an
alarm upon exceeding the programmed number of violations added up by a given
counter. Alarm can also be triggered after resetting the counting zone counter, if
the zone associated with the given counter is still violated.
06 - counting L2 - operation identical as for the "counting L1", but changes the status of the
second of the three counters.
07 - counting L3 - operation identical as for the "counting L1", but changes the status of the
third of the three counters.
08 - 24H audible - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to is
armed, or not. Each violation of this zone will trigger alarm on the BURGLARY
ALARM type outputs, in the keypad and will send a “zone alarm” code. It makes
possible to create tamper circuits and panic buttons.
09 - 24H auxiliary - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to
is armed, or not. Each violation of this zone will trigger an alarm in the keypad and
will send a “zone alarm” code. It is intended for connecting detectors such as gas
or flood sensors, etc.

4 SATEL Installer Manual
10 - 24H silent - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to is
armed, or not. Violation of this zone will only send a “zone alarm” code to the
monitoring station.
11 - 24H fire - armed all the time, irrespective of whether the partition it is assigned to is
armed, or not; intended for the fire detectors.
If one of the control panel outputs is programmed as the FIRE DETECTORS
POWER SUPPLY, violation of the zone will actuate the alarm verification
mechanism and will signal alarm in the keypad. To perform the verification, control
panel disconnects momentarily power supply to the fire detectors and checks,
whether after reconnection of power supply the violation will be repeated within
90 seconds. If that’s the case, the control panel will send a "zone alarm" message
to the monitoring station, activate the FIRE ALARM and FIRE/BURGLARY
ALARM outputs and trigger the fire alarm (intermittent signal) in the keypad.
If there are no FIRE DETECTORS POWER SUPPLY outputs, the zone violation
will immediately send a "zone alarm" code to the monitoring station, activate the
FIRE ALARM and FIRE/BURGLARY ALARM type outputs, as well as trigger the
fire alarm (intermittent signal) in the keypad.
12 - arming - violation of this zone will arm the partitions the zone belongs to.
13 - silent arming - violation of this zone will arm in silent mode the partitions the zone
belongs to.
14 - disarming - violation of this zone will disarm the partitions the zone belongs to.
15 - no alarm action - violation of this zone will activate the ZONE VIOLATION type
outputs.
16 - arm/disarm - violation of this zone will arm the partitions the zone belongs to, end of
violation will disarm those partitions.
17 - delayed with signalling - a delayed zone with the same function as the 01 type zone,
but with delay countdown signaling in keypads.
18 - arming with bypass - violation of this zone arms the partition the zone belongs to,
simultaneously bypassing the zones programmed as AUTO-BYPASS (see: FS16,
FS19).
19 - perimeter - zone armed since entering the access code and confirming it with the [#]
key (i.e. arming the partition). Violation of this zone during countdown of the "exit
delay" will trigger an alarm.
Reaction time for each zone can be programmed within 0.016 s to 4.08 s. For delayed zones,
an individual time delay can be set. The zones can be selectively bypassed and/or assigned
to any partition. In case of messaging to the telephone monitoring stations, five event codes
sending to the monitoring stations can be determined for each zone.
The CA-6 has an additional CTL input, which is intended for arming or disarming. It can
also be used for connecting the panic, fire or emergency button.
Outputs
The CA-6 is equipped with 5 programmable outputs: 3 high-current (2,2A) and 2 low-current
(50mA). The OUT1, OUT2 and OUT3 outputs are protected by special electronic fuses with
current limiters set at 2,2A. The control panel monitors presence of voltage, overload, and
signalstrouble conditions at these outputs. When active and at positive polarization, the
above outputs will supply +12V for the load.
The OUT4 and OUT5 outputs (low-current, 50mA) control ground of the load – when active
and at the positive polarization programmed (+12V), these outputs are shorted to common
ground (0V), whereas they are open when inactive.
The +KPD keypad supply output is fitted with an electronic fuse with current limiter 1.5A.

CA-6 SATEL

All outputs are equipped with protection for inductive loads and pulse interference.
Assignment of the particular outputs can be restricted to the specific partitions / zones of the
system.
For each output can be defined the operation time in seconds (from 1 to 99 seconds), in
minutes (from 1 to 99 minutes), or LATCH type (until switch off). It is possible to determine
the output polarity for active state (+12V or 0V on the load), and whether it should operate in
pulsed or continuous mode.
Designation of the outputs can be adapted to the needs of the alarm system controlled by the
panel. Though individual outputs differ by their design, each of them can perform one of the
following functions:
00 - not used - remains inactive from the power-up, according to the setting of "polarity"
option.
01 - burglary - the output starts on detecting a burglary alarm by the control panel. The
alarm is triggered by armed zones, zones tamper circuits, keypads tamper
contacts, and by the user (through the ALARM PANIC function). If the zones to
which the output is to react are defined, the zone alarms will be limited to those
included in the "list of zones" (the other alarms will be effected irrespective of the
source). It is also possible to indicate (in the output options) the partition the output
is associated with. If this is the case, the zone alarms will be limited to those from
the zones belonging to the chosen partition. When the "list of zones" is empty and
there are no chosen partitions, the output reacts to all alarms (except for the fire
alarms).
The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from
01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During its operation, it
can every second change its state (pulsate).
02 - fire/burglary - the output starts on detecting by the control panel of a burglary alarm
(continuous signal) and/or a fire alarm (intermittent signal). The output operation
can be limited to the indicated "list of zones" or a specific partition (identically as
for the 01 output type). The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01
to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user.
03 - fire - the output starts when the control panel detects a fire alarm. Such an alarm is
triggered by fire zones or the user (through the ALARM FIRE function). The output
operation can be limited to the specified "list of zones" or particular partitions
(identically as for the 01 output type). There is no sense to choose any other
zones than the fire ones, as they would not generate a fire alarm. The output can
remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes)
or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every second
change its state (pulsate).
04 - keypad alarms - the output starts on detecting any keypad alarm. The output can
remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes)
or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During its operation, it can every second
change its state (pulsate).
05 - keypad fire alarm -the output starts on triggering the fire alarm by the user (with the
FIRE ALARM function). The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01
to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user.
During operation, it can every second change its state (pulsate).
06 - keypad panic alarm - the output starts on triggering the PANIC alarm by the user. The
output can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to
99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every
second change its state (pulsate).

6 SATEL Installer Manual
07 - keypad aux. alarm - the output starts on triggering the alarm by the user with the
ALARM AUX function. The output can remain active for a specified time (from 01
to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user.
During operation, it can every second change its state (pulsate).
08 - keypad tamper alarm - the output starts on detecting violation of the tamper contact or
a change of the keypad address and also after 3 wrong codes. The output can
remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes)
or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every second
change its state (pulsate).
09 - day/night + counting - the output starts on detecting violation of disarmed DAY/NIGHT
zone or violations (triggering no alarm) of COUNTING zones, which trigger no
alarm. Operation of the output can be restricted to a specified “list of zones”
(identically as for the 01 output type). Selection of any other zones than those
tested by this output type is irrelevant - they will give no violation signal. The
output can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to
99 minutes) or until the alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every
second change its state (pulsate).
10 - duress alarm - the output starts on using an access code with authority level 4
(DURESS code) to disarm the system or to clear an alarm. This code is used to
trigger a special "disarm under duress" alarm. Operation of the output can be
restricted to alarms from particular partition. The output can remain active for
a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the
alarm is cleared by the user. During operation, it can every second change its
state (pulsate).
11 - chime - the output starts on violating the disarmed zones for which the “chime” option
has been activated. Operation of the output can be restricted to the selected "list of
zones" or to specified partition (identically as for the 01 output type). The output
can remain active for a specified time (from 01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99
minutes). If the LATCH option (on until switch-off) is enabled for the output, it will
be deactivated when the alarm is cleared by the user. The output signals violations
irrespective of whether the chime blocking in the keypad is on or off (to enable the
blocking, press and hold down the key [8]).
12 - switch MONO - the output is activated by calling the user function 7 ([CODE][*][7]) or
using a code with authority level 5 ([CODE][#]). Operation of the output can be
restricted to specified partition. The output can remain active for a time from 01 to
99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes (do not program the LATCH option for the
output).
13 - switch BI (ON/OFF) - the output changes its state when the user function 8
([CODE][*][8]) is called or a code with authority level 6 ([CODE][#]) is used.
Operation of the output can be restricted to specified partition.
14 - arm status - the output is active in the armed mode. Operation of the output can be
restricted by selecting a "list of zones" or partition. Unless zones and partitions are
selected, the output is active when any partition (zone) is armed.
15 - silent arm status - the output is active in the silent armed mode. Operation of the
output can be restricted by selecting a "list of zones" or specific partitions.
16 - exit delay status - the output is active during the "exit delay" countdown by the control
panel. Operation of the output can be limited to indicating the "exit delay" for
specified partition.
17 - entry delay status - the output is active during the "entry delay" countdown. Operation
of the output can be limited to selecting the "entry delay" for specified partition.

CA-6 SATEL

18 - telephone usage status - the output is active when the control panel is on the
telephone line.
19 - ground start - the output is activated by the control panel if the GROUND START
signal is to be generate (a 2 sec. signal occurring before the control panel "lifts the
handset" required by a specific type of telephone exchanges).
20 - monitoring confirmation - the output activated for 3 seconds by the control panel,
after correct termination of the monitoring session.
21 - bypass status - the output is active when some zones are bypassed in the system.
Operation of the output can be limited to showing the bypass of zones specified in
the list of zones, or the bypass of selected partition zones.
22 - READY status - the output is active when all the control panel zones are free from
violations. Operation of the output can be limited to showing the READY status of
zones specified in the list of zones, or the READY status of selected partition.
23 - zone violation - the output starts when one of the zones is violated. Operation of the
output can be limited to the selected "list of zones" or specified partition (identically
as for the 01 output type). The output can remain active for a specified time (from
01 to 99 seconds or from 01 to 99 minutes) or until the armed mode is deactivated
or the alarm cleared.
24 - telephone line trouble - the output used when telephone messaging is doubled by
radio messaging; it makes possible reporting the telephone line trouble.
25 - AC power loss.
26 - battery trouble -activated when the battery voltage in three consecutive tests drops to
about 11V.
27 - power supply - the output intended for powering detectors, radio lines and other
equipment with 12V direct voltage. When programming this type of output, pay
special attention to permissible current-carrying capacity of each of the control
panel outputs.
28 - fire detectors power supply - the output intended for powering the fire detectors. The
output closely interacts with the 24H FIRE zones. If assigned to any of the control
panel outputs, it activates the fire alarm verification function. The verification
operates as follows: the first violation cuts the fire detectors power supply off for
about 15 seconds. The power-down results in reset of the violated detectors.
Then, the power supply is restored, but the panel will not control the 24H FIRE
zones for ten to twenty seconds because of the balancing of detectors. Next, the
control panel enters the special mode of fire detectors control, which lasts about
90 seconds. If a repeated detector violation occurs during that time, a FIRE alarm
will be triggered. Otherwise, the control panel will go over to the normal control of
24H FIRE zones (duration of the whole verification process is approx. 2 min.). The
output reacts to the "RESET POWER SUPPLY" function (user function 9).
29 - power supply with RESET function - the output is designated to power detectors
which require a periodical power cut-off until the state memory is cleared. The
RESET function is activated from keypad through the user function 9 (calling:
[CODE][*][9]). The voltage is cut off for time programmed as the output active time.
30 - TIMER - the output is controlled by the control panel clock; it is activated / deactivated in
the hours indicated by a corresponding TIMER (see: Functions programming
TIMERS).
31 - audible alarm status - the output signals the audible armed mode. Operation of the
output can be limited to the selected "list of zones" or partition.
32 - full arm status - the output is only active when all zones / partitions assigned to it are in
the armed mode.

8 SATEL Installer Manual
33 - ARM / DISARM / CLEAR ALARM - the output signals the particular system states with,
respectively, one, two, or four pulses 0.16 s each.
34 - alarm in keypad - silent alarm signaling in the partition keypad.
35 - power supply on armed mode - it functions similarly to the ARM STATUS output, but
it is activated right after "exit delay" starts, not after changeover from the exit delay
to the armed mode (it can be used, for example, as indicator or power supply
output for microwave detectors in spaces where people stay).
36 - Signalling: LED - the output can control a LED to indicate the following statuses:
-off – control panel disarmed
-steady light – control panel armed
-blinking light – the control panel armed, there was alarm or trouble
Note: If in the armed mode any zones are violated in the system, the LED will be
blinking and will only change to steady light after the violation ends.
37 - Signalling: relay - the output can control a relay. The output becomes active after
arming, and inactive after an alarm is triggered, a trouble occurs, or the system is
disarmed.
Note: If in the armed mode any zones are violated in the system, the output will
become active after the violation ends.
38 - not used - (do not program).
39 - no guard code - the output is activated by a timer programmed as the partition control
TIMER, unless a guard code is entered within the timer specified time.
40 - service mode status - the output is activated if the control panel service mode has
been called from any keypad.
41 - battery low status - the output, which state is updated after each battery voltage test.
Partitions
A new partition is created when at least one zone is assigned to it. The CA-6 permits creating
of two partitions to which any outputs, telephone numbers and pager messages can be
assigned, and thus enables two alarm systems to be built on the basis of one CA-6 control
panel. The partitions can be controlled from a keypad (access codes assigned to the
partitions) as well as by means of control zones. Both partitions can be controlled at the
same time.
Because the sirens connected to the outputs can be activated by selected zones, the
assignment of zones to partitions will define which codes can clear alarm on particular sirens.
The partitions have individual identifiers and event codes for the monitoring purposes.
Access Codes and Authority Levels
The CA-6 control panel can store in memory 13 access codes (4 to 6 digit long), with
different authority levels. The codes are associated with the partitions they are assigned to.
The control panel has a MASTER code – by default [1][2][3][4]. The master code cannot be
deleted, however it can be changed. It provides access to all user functions.
The master code user (User 0) can add new users, assigning various authority levels to them
and determining which partition is controlled by the code. The code can be assigned to one
partition or to both of them. Thus, both partitions can be armed with a single code. The code
authority level defines which functions of the control panel are accessible by using this code,
and which are not.
New users (new codes) are automatically numbered by the control panel as they are entered.
This makes it possible to distinguish, who and when operated the control panel, as the user
(code) number is stored in the memory of events along with the command given.

CA-6 SATEL

Fig. 1. View of the CA-6 KLED keypad
Deletion of the code will not cause renumbering of the other users’ access codes. Whenever
a new user is added, his code will replace the one left by the deleted user.
Individual users may have the following authority levels:
1- accessible all functions, except creating and deleting users,
2- accessible arming and disarming, change of access code,
3- accessible arming, while disarming is only possible when the system was armed
with the same access code,
4- code trap: it arms and disarms the system, but disarming sends a DURESS
("disarmed under duress") message to the monitoring station
5- activates the MONO SWITCH output, its use is recorded in the event memory, can
serve as a guard code,
6- changes the state of BI SWITCH output,
7- partial arming - the code arms the system, simultaneously bypassing a group of
zones (specified by the installer in service functions), otherwise the code provides the
same features as that with authority level 2,
8- accessible arming and disarming, without possibility to change own access
code,
9- accessible arming only,
0- accessible alarm clearing only, the code does not arm / disarm the system.
Keypads
Two modifications of LED keypads are
manufactured, intended to work together
with the CA-6 control panel and
designated CA-6 KLED and CA-6 KLED-S.
Up to mid-2006, the CA-6 KLED-M keypad
was also made.
The keypads are designed for operating
and programming the system (or
a partition). The keypad operating mode is
set when programming the control panel. It
is possible to disable some of functions
(e.g. the quick arming by pressing the [0]
and [#] keys), and determine what audible
signals are to be provided by the keypad.
It is possible to signal the exit delay or entry delay time, trouble, violation of a CHIME option
zone, violation of a DAY/NIGHT and COUNTING zone, alarm. You can also disable the
signaling of key depression and confirmation of the function performed.
The basic information on the system state is provided by means of light emitting diodes. They
present the state of zones and partitions (armed, alarm), as well as information on the status
of power supply and telephone line, as well as on troubles found.
The following features are also provided:
•Setting the keypad backlight mode with the key 9: none, automatic, permanent. In

keypads).
The keypad has an address, which makes difficult replacement or connection of another
keypad, an individual tamper contact and two zones, which operate identically as the zones

10 SATEL Installer Manual
of the control panel mainboard. The keypad zones can be assigned to any partition. The data
concerning address, tamper contact and zone status, are sent to the control panel together
with keypad data.
Provision is made for connecting several keypads in parallel (which does not increase the
number of control panel zones).
Monitoring
The CA-6 control panel can transmit information about the system (partition) status to one or
two monitoring stations. Communication with the monitoring stations takes place irrespective
of the voice messaging and the messaging to paging systems. It has a priority and is realized
before the voice messaging. In case problems occur with getting connected to the station, the
control panel will suspend dialing the station number for 60 seconds and, if the message is
also to be transmitted by the dialer, it will make the line available to the dialer.
There are a few ways of transmitting information to the monitoring stations:
•Reporting to one station,
•Reporting to Station 1, and if unavailable - to Station 2 (e.g., when the station has
two telephone numbers). If this is the case, all events are reported, irrespective of
which station was reached by the control panel.
•Reporting to both stations with event sorting - depending on what event occurred
in the system, for example, information on alarms to Station 1, and information on
troubles to Station 2 (this mode is useful where the station serves many subscribers
and it is necessary that the number likely to receive most vital information be busy as
little as possible). In this mode, during control panel programming, you can determine
which information is to be sent to which station.
•Reporting to both stations: Station 1 first, then Station 2. This mode is reached by
assigning the same event to both stations.
It is possible to send information on events related to zones, partitions, as well as system
events. The event codes for both stations are the same. It is possible to define how the
events are to be divide between the two stations. Information can be transmitted to the
stations in one of fifteen formats (including Contact ID).
Because of analysis of commutation signals (algorithm ToneLOGIC), the CA-6 controls the
process of establishing connection with the station, which in case of the line being frequently
busy considerably reduces the time between occurrence of the event and sending
information to the monitoring station. As dialing retries are made immediately after detecting
the busy signal, the connection is established many times faster than with the equipment
which waits for one specific signal for a predetermined period of time and only redials upon
detecting that that signal has not occurred.
Dialer
The CA-6 is equipped with a telephone dialer, which enables an alarm voice message to be
transmitted. The message is stored in an external synthesizer. The control panel directly
interfaces with the SATEL SM-2 voice synthesizer. The dialer can also establish connections
with paging systems. Two different alphanumeric messages can be programmed.
The CA-6 allows programming of four telephone numbers, 16 characters each. The numbers
can be individually assigned to partitions, or, alternatively, one number can be assigned to
both partitions. As the control panel is capable of establishing connections with paging
systems, each number can be assigned one of the two text messages, or a voice message
from the synthesizer.
During the procedure of connection setup, the panel controls signals from the telephone line
(algorithm ToneLOGIC). Hence, it can recognize that the call is answered, irrespective of the

CA-6 SATEL
11
type of telephone exchange. In order to enhance the efficiency of messaging, it is possible to
increase the number of calling rounds.
Messaging for each telephone number is realized in accordance with the following
parameters:
•Round count (1 to 7) – defines how many times it is necessary to call and send
information to each number
•Max. redial number for one round (1 to 9) – number of attempts, after which the
panel will stop dialing the number, for which connection cannot be established (no
answer, permanently busy, etc.).
Messaging can be carried on until successful. It is also possible to determine the maximum
number of retries (from 1 to 9), after which the panel stops dialing the number for which
connection cannot be established (no answer, permanently busy, etc.). When waiting for the
dial tone during dialing (code D, when the control panel is connected to an extension line and
is trying to get the outside line), detecting the busy signal does not decrease the counter of
rounds and attempts.
The control panel dialer function can answer the calls and give information on the system
state with a voice message (if one hour has not elapsed yet after the alarm) or with special
signals (one beep a second if there was no alarm, or five short beeps every second if one
hour has elapsed from the alarm).
Another way of getting information on the system state via the telephone is through the
control panel operation in conjunction with the SATEL MST-1 module (service function
FS131). Additionally, this module enables the system to be remotely controlled, within certain
limits, by means of DTMF signals. For the connection diagram refer to the MST-1 module
operating instructions.
Remote Programming – DOWNLOADING
In order to facilitate programming, the CA-6 is equipped with a DOWNLOADING function,
which enables a PC computer to be used for programming and controlling of the alarm
system by means of the DLOAD10 program.
The DLOAD10 program, which is delivered with the control panel, enables:
•reading all control panel parameters,
•writing new parameters to the control panel,
•reading the system event log,
•ONLINE operation.
In the ONLINE mode, the computer displays current information on the system state,
including zone violations, active outputs, control panel clock, and selected partition state. It is
possible to control the system in the same way as with a LED keypad. The keypad on the
computer screen works in parallel with the real keypads in partitions, therefore commands for
all partitions can be given from one place. The ONLINE mode also permits downloading
troubles and programming the clock.
The program does not download or change the users’ access codes - they are only
accessible through the user functions from keypads.
The programming can be performed directly from the RS-232 port of the computer through
the RS port of the control panel (TTL standard signals), or by means of a modem, through
the TIP and RING terminals of telephone line.
Communication through the telephone line can be initialized in three modes:
1. The computer calls the control panel, which after answering the call exchanges
communication passwords with the computer. When they are correct, the panel confirms
acceptance of the remote programming command, hangs up and calls back to the
computer using a number preprogrammed in the control panel. Prior to calling the

12 SATEL Installer Manual
computer back, the panel notifies the monitoring station that the programming has
started.
2. The computer calls the control panel and, after the communication passwords exchange,
the control panel immediately proceeds to the exchange of data. This simplified mode of
establishing communication is reached when the computer telephone number is not
entered in the control panel. Notification of the monitoring station will take place after
communication with the computer is over.
3. Establishing of communication from the control panel by calling the function 0 by the
partition master user. The control panel first notifies the monitoring station that the
programming has started (when monitoring is active), then it dials the computer
telephone number.
Communication initialization from the computer can be blocked (FS5, Options set 2, Option 1).
In order to reduce the cost of telephone connections, multiple suspension of the transmission
is possible. At the next connection, the control panel does not inform the monitoring station of
remote programming. Only after receiving the command to end the communication,
a message on completing the remote programming is sent to the station. When the
communication is suspended from the computer, the control panel is waiting for a call from
the computer for four hours even when the functions of automatically answering the computer
call are disabled. When the communication is ended with the “end” command instead of
“suspend”, the information on ending the communication is entered into the event log and
sent to the monitoring station after four hours.
As the control panel is only accessible to the service, a number of protective devices has
been provided to prevent hacking of the system and change of any data by unauthorized
persons. All the data exchanges are authorized by changing the passwords and the data are
encoded.

Fig. 2. Schematic view of CA-6 main board.
The „DIALER” LED is on during telephone messaging by the panel, and blinks during pulse
dialing of the telephone number.
The AC terminals are intended for providing the alternating supply voltage from the mains
transformer. The control panel power supply unit is suitable for the 17...24V AC input voltage.
The control panel is fitted with an advanced pulse-type power supply of high energy
efficiency and operational reliability, however, its correct functioning requires that the input
voltage at the maximum load of the transformer by the control panel does not drop below
16V AC.
The CA-6 main board enables a grounding circuit to be connected. The ground lead terminal
is designated by the symbol.
The control panel power supply (current capacity 1.2A) is fitted with:
•voltage control system,
•battery status monitoring system with optional disconnection of the battery if
discharged - during testing the processor reduces the power supply and the loads 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 9.5V, the control panel will
cut off the battery in order to prevent it from a complete discharge and damage.
The stabilized voltage of the control panel power supply is +13.6V to +13,8V and is factory
set.
Attention should be paid so as not to cause overloading of the control panel power supply in
the alarm system. It is advisable to make a load balance for the power supply. The total
current inputs for the consumers (detectors, keypads) and the battery charging current may
not exceed the power supply capacity. In case of a higher electric power demand, an
additional power supply can be used for some of the security system consumers (e.g.

APS -15, APS-30 manufactured by SATEL). The Table 1 (at the end of this manual) shows
an example of estimated balance of current consumption by the system, and an example of
battery selection.
Each of the high-current outputs OUT1 - OUT3 and +KPD is fitted with electronic short-circuit
and overload protection devices.
Two wires (red and black) are intended for connecting the battery, the red one is connected
to the battery „+” terminal, the black one to the „-” terminal. The battery cables lugs should
not be cut off.
The J13 „RESET” pins make it possible to start the service mode without entering a service
code. This function can be disabled by the installer with software means (see: FS131).
The RS232 TTL interface is designed for programming the alarm system parameters from
a computer. The panel sends and receives signals in the TTL (0V, +5V) standard, hence,
a special cable of SATEL manufacture must be used to connect the panel and computer RS
ports. The cable includes a converter changing this signal into a standard corresponding to
the RS-232 interface in the computer (-12V, +12V). The data can be transmitted through the
cable in both directions.
Notes:
•The connector may only be used when programming the panel. Never leave the RS
cable permanently attached.
•It is recommended that the cable be first connected to the control panel, and then to
the computer.
•Do not close or touch the connector pins with your fingers.
•Prior to connecting the cable, the installer should preliminarily remove the electrostatic
charge e.g. touching a grounded fixture (a faucet or a heater) with the top of his hand.
The CA-6 control panel should be installed in an enclosed space with normal humidity of air.
The space should be fitted with an available permanent (not detachable)
230V power supply circuit with protective grounding.
The control panel can be mounted in the CA-6 OBU housing (this
housing comprises a transformer designed for operation with the control
panel power supply), which permits installation of a battery with 7Ah
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 3). When inserting the plug, press the central part of the
head firmly in so that it is blocked in the housing hole. It is advisable to
make sure that the plug, when pressed, does not slip out from the
opening. During installation of the housing, be careful so as not to
damage the wires which will be passed through the hole in its back panel.
When the housing is secured, you can install the control panel main board and proceed to
making the connections.
IMPORTANT: Do not connect the mains power supply and the battery, until all the remaining
connections are completed.
The control panel is power supplied from 230V AC mains. Negligence or wrong
connection may result in electric shock and pose a threat to life!
Therefore, be particularly careful when hooking up the control panel. In the
process of installation and connection of the control panel, the cable to be used
for mains supply must not be alive!

Connection of Keypad
The keypad should be connected to the system with a four-wire line, using the COM, +KPD,
DATA, CLK terminals on the panel. Where standard wire is used, the cable length can be up
to 200m. Do not use screened wires.
With the YTDY 8x0,5 cable, the following distances between keypad and control panel may
be used to ensure appropriate power supply: No. of cores

The DCBA keypad jumpers determine the address which is an additional tamper protection.
The pins D and A are shorted by default; it is possible to change the address (see: FS111,
FS124). The panel does not accept addresses of the „all closed” and „all open” type
addresses. The address is stored in the panel EEPROM (non-volatile) memory, together with
the other system parameters.
The keypad Z1 and Z2 terminals permit connecting any detectors. They are supported by the
control panel in the same way as the mainboard zone inputs. The keypad Z1 terminal is
treated as zone 7, Z2 - as zone 8.
Provision is made for connecting additional keypads (in parallel with the first one). Each
keypad should be connected to the control panel by means of a separate cable. The keypad
addresses should be identical, the zone 7 and 8 can only be used in one of them,
elsewhere they should be left open (nothing is to be connected).
There are three types of keypads designed to work together with the CA-6 control panel. All
of them should be connected in the way shown in Fig. 4 for the CA-6 KLED keypad. For
description of other keypad terminals, see the figures below.

16 SATEL Installer Manual

The spring on the tamper contact must cling to the mounting surface so that the contact
opens at any attempt to pull off the keypad from the wall. The keypad tamper contact has no
connection with the system tamper circuit. Its state is defined by the control panel, based on
the data received from the keypad. In case two keypads are connected in parallel, the control
panel will detect tampering when both contacts are open. When the control panel is in the
service mode, the tamper contact and the keypad address are not controlled. Should the
panel alarm at the moment of exiting the service mode, it would mean an incorrectly
programmed address, or opening of the tamper contact.

Connection of Detectors
The CA-6 can operate with detectors of any type. Each zone of the control panel can work in
the configuration NC, NO, EOL, 2EOL/NO, 2EOL/NC. When the zone works in an EOL
configuration, a 2.2 kΩresistor should be used to make the detector circuit. In case of 2EOL
configuration, the detector circuit is closed by two 1.1 kΩresistors. This type of zones
enables the status of detector and its tamper contact to be monitored at the same time
The detectors may be supplied from any of the electronically protected outputs (OUT1 to
OUT3). The output should be programmed as the "POWER SUPPLY OUTPUT" (function
number 27). The use of OUT3 is suggested.
Separation of the detector power supply ground and the line ground makes it possible to
eliminate the effect of wiring resistance. Assuming that the wire is rather short, and only one
detector is connected to it, the installation can be simplified by using one wire for the power
supply ground (GND) and the signaling ground. The NO and NC detectors in 2EOL
configuration are connected in the same way, it is only important to correctly indicate to the
control panel, what type of detector is connected to the zone input (2EOL/NO or 2EOL/NC).
The examples in Fig. 7 only show how the alarm relay outputs should be connected. Proper
connection of the detectors will require that power supply (COM, 12V) be provided and TMP
terminals (tamper contact) of EOL or NO/NC detectors be connected to the tamper circuit.
Fig. 7. Example of connecting 4 detectors in various configurations.
Connection of Sirens
The CA-6 can control sirens of any kind. The control panel outputs have no functions
permanently assigned to them. They can perform 41 different tasks. Therefore, the system is
very flexible and can suit almost every application. If there are sirens installed in the system,
the alarm function will have to be assigned to corresponding outputs.

In the case of sirens which alarm after power is supplied, it is convenient to assign the alarm
function to the OUT1 and OUT2 outputs. If this is the case, the "+ " of siren power supply
should be connected to the control panel respective OUT output, and the siren "ground" - to
the control panel COM terminal. In this mode, two independent sirens can be set, or, with one
output programmed for a specified time operation, and the other one for a switch-off
operation - an acoustic and visual sirens.
Where sirens with their own internal battery are used, the OUT1 or OUT2 output should be
used to power the sirens, and the triggering signals should be provided by the OUT4 and/or
OUT5 low-current outputs.
Note: The OUT1, OUT2, and OUT3 outputs must be loaded with resistors installed in the
sirens. It is necessary for correct operation of the system and for load presence
check. We recommend using 2.2 k Ω resistors. If the acoustic siren, connected to one
of the outputs, produces some undesirable low sounds in deactivated state, the
resistor should be decreased.

The OUT4 and OUT5 outputs can be used to control the relays switching on any sirens or
other equipment. The relays may be directly connected to the outputs, as shown in Figure 9..
The OUT4 and OUT5 outputs can also be used to control the NOKTON NR2-DSC radio
monitoring transmitter (NEMROD system - format PC16OUT). In such a case it is necessary
to change the operating mode of these outputs by activating a suitable option in the service
function 5. During operation with the NOKTON transmitter, the outputs are used for
transmitting a number of data on the control panel state (zone alarms, fire alarms, troubles,
armed mode, etc.) and do not perform functions programmed with the standard service
functions.
