WARNING
In order to avoid any operational problems with the control panel, it is recommended that
you become familiar with this manual before you start using the equipment.
Making any construction changes or unauthorized repairs is prohibited. This applies, in
particular, to modification of assemblies and components. Maintenance or repair
operations should be performed by authorized personnel (i.e. the installer or factory
service).
Telephone terminals of the panel should be connected to PSTN lines only. Connecting to
ISDN lines may lead to damage of the equipment.
In case of upgrading the PSTN line to ISDN, system owner should contact the installer.
CAUTION!
The alarm system is fitted with a battery. After expiry of its service, the battery must not be
thrown away, but disposed of as required by the existing regulations. (European Union
Directives 91/157/EEC and 93/86/EEC).
The SATEL Company recommends that operation of the whole alarm system be regularly tested.
However, a reliable alarm system does not prevent burglary, assault or fire from happening, it only
diminishes the risk that such a situation will cause no alarm or notification.
History of the updates to this manual is attached at the end hereof.

Control panel CA 10 plus with an LCD-S keypad
Alarm control panel CA10 plus is a modern, microprocessor-based device designed for
signaling burglaries and assaults. The CA-10 plus panel controls the operation of an alarm
system, responds to information coming from the alarm system detectors about an intrusion on
a protected facility and informs about the event. The panel is designed to be operated with LCD
display keypads and LED keypads.
Basic functions of CA-10 plus:
• signaling burglary, panic and fire alarms,
• informing of alarms with telephone voice messages or messages to a paging system,
• answering phone calls and informing the user of system status (whether an alarm
occurred since its arming),
• MONITORING - communication with telephone monitoring stations (real-time
transmission of detailed information about specified events in a protected facility),
• real-time printout of reports on all events in the system on an external printer.

Features of CA-10 plus:
• panel operation controlled with LCD text display keypads (2x16 characters),
• clear text messages describing system status and important events,
• installer-defined zone descriptions simplifying identifying the alarm origin,
• simultaneous detailed status presentation of up to 16 zones controlled by the panel,
• visible clock and system date display helpful in supervising and ensuring error-free
operation,
• reviewing the alarm and trouble logs (or detailed memory log of all system events) with
text description, zone name, partition name or user name and exact time of the event,
• access to numerous USER FUNCTIONS by means of function list item selection.
Armed modes
To adapt the alarm system to various needs the control panel CA-10 plus offers several armed
modes:
Audible armed mode
The mode in which detectors connected to the panel control the protected facility and
violation of the protected zones is signaled by the panel with all available means (sirens,
monitoring stations message transmission, telephone messages).

Control panel CA10 plus with LCD-S keypad 3
Silent armed mode
Armed mode in which alarms are signaled only in the panel keypads. The installer can
decide which of the detectors are automatically by-passed in this mode; he can also choose
signaling device to be used in that mode.
Partial armed mode
The installer can determine the detectors in the system which will be excluded from the
surveillance on arming the system with the special access code (authority level 7). It
enables the user, by entering an appropriate code, to arm the system fully or in a chosen
part only.
Stay armed mode
In this mode the panel enables automatic bypassing of chosen detectors if immediately
after arming the system the user did not leave the facility and did not activate the
entrance/exit detector.

Operating instructions
Operating of the alarm system consists basically in arming and disarming the system (setting
surveillance mode) and offering an appropriate reaction to the information the control panel
signals on the keypad. The keypad displays the information about the status of the alarm
system by means of a two-line, backlit LCD display (2x16 characters) and six additional LED
controls.
LED controls' functions:
• alarm - signals occurrences of alarms.
• trouble - the LED is blinking when the control panel detects a technical problem or a
telephone messaging trouble,
• armed: A B C D - partition status:
- blinking (while the alarm control is off) signals exit delay running,
- control stays on when the partition is armed.
The LEDs marked with letters A B C D correspond to numerical denotation of partitions
available in the system:
LED A – partition 1
LED B – partition 2
LED C – partition 3
LED D – partition 4

User access codes
For everyday operation of the system assigning user access code is essential. The control
panel comes with one factory-set code (master user code) for each partition:
1234 for partition A,
2345 for partition B,
3456 for partition C,
4567 for partition D.
Programming of additional 12 user access codes is possible in each partition (but no more
than 32 in the entire system). The code can be 4 to 6 digits long.
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”).
By creating new user access code, the master user assigns specific, so called, authority
level - determines which of the panel functions are available for a particular user, and which
are excluded.
Normally entering access code in one keypad will affect only in one partition. It is possible to
switch on installer accessible option "global access codes". Switching on this option causes,
that users access codes are accepted in all 4 partitions: each user can access do any of
existing partitions. In this case there will be no information about user number in panel’s
event log.

Control panel CA10 plus with LCD-S keypad 7
Arming [Access code][#]
Arming is only possible when the partition is not signaling alarm and is not already armed:
ALARM and ARMED diodes are off.
In order to arm the system access code should be entered and confirmed by pressing [#]
key. If, while typing the code, user makes a mistake [*] key should be pressed and the code
re-entered.
When the code is correctly entered the display shows both a message confirming entering
armed mode and the name of the user who activated it. Then an exit countdown message is
displayed (if the option was allowed by the installer). The partitions in which the countdown
procedure is on are visually represented by blinking ARMED diodes with appropriate
partition letters.
Accepting the command to arm the system can also be confirmed with an appropriate sound
code: three short beeps (if the option of key sound confirmation was turned on by the
installer).
The panel may fail to arm the system if:
• in the panel there are specifically designed zones which cannot be violated while the
system is being armed and one of them is being violated at the time - the panel signals
the situation with three long beeps. In such a case a delay is recommended until all the
exits are ready and arming the system again. Pressing the Wbutton displays the exits
being violated. If one of the exits remains violated (the cause being, for example, the

8 User's Guide SATEL
detector trouble) the armed mode can be switched on after the exit has been blocked
(function 4),
• access code entered is incorrect - the control panel signalizes the event with two long
beeps,
• in the partition there are no armed type zones - the control panel signalizes the event
with two long beeps (access code is correct and allows, for example, to call user
functions),
• battery trouble - three long beeps (proper option is selected to prevent the system from
being armed in case of battery trouble).
Quick Arming [0][#]
On pressing the sequence [0][#] user can, without typing access code, arm the system. The
Quick Arming function can be blocked by the installer. Arming is not influenced by any
detectors being violated at the time. The installer can assign a special key to arm the system
quickly.
Disarming and clearing the alarm [Access code][#]
When the control panel is armed (ARMED diode is on) or signalizes the alarm (ALARM
diode is blinking) it can accept only one order - disarming the system or clearing the alarm.
Typing the access code confirmed by pressing [#] keys disarms the system or turns off the

Control panel CA10 plus with LCD-S keypad 9
alarm. If, while typing the access code, user makes a mistake, she/he should press [*] button
and re-enter the code.
The control panel will not be disarmed or allow the alarm clearing if:
• the access code is incorrect,
• or the access code authority level does not allow disarming (for example authority level
3 or 9 - see "User Functions Menu" - "New User")
It is possible to cancel the alarm without disarming the system with authority level 0 access
code.
Disarming the system is confirmed with an appropriate message on the LCD display and the
name of the user who armed the system. If the alarm has been cleared the keypad will
display the message "Review ÇÈÅÆ " - the arrow buttons allow reviewing partition status to
find out the source of alarm.
In the alarm system divided into zones, it is only possible to cancel the alarm in the zone,
whose keypad is signaling alarm with its alarm LED. By pressing the Skey you can check
in which zones the alarm was triggered.
Timer Controlled Arming and Disarming
Arming and disarming of the system can be controlled with a control panel timer. The
installer can program the exact hour and minute of arming/disarming of the system. Arming
and disarming will occur every day at a specified time. The control panel can also be armed
with a timer and disarmed manually by a user.

Alarm System Status Telephone Messages
The owner of the facility with CA-10 plus control panel installed can check if the alarm is on
by means of a standard telephone connection. In order to do so he has to phone the facility -
the control panel will answer the phone and will brief the caller on the system status. The
control panel will answer telephone calls only when the whole protected facility is armed.
On receiving the call the control panel sends:
• one beep a second - if, since the last arming time, there no alarm occurred;
• speech synthesizer message - if the alarm occurred within the last hour;
• sequence of five short beeps - if the alarm occurred more than an hour ago.
The installer decides if the function is on and how the control panel answers the phone calls
(number of rings, double calling etc.)
Control Panel Interfacing with MST-1 Telephone Control Module
The control can be effected from a telephone the control panel calls up during voice
messaging (immediately after the message from speech synthesizer is reproduced), or after
a connection is established with the panel from any telephone set. Having answered the call,
the module connected to the CA-10 plus reports its readiness with three beeps (high-, low-
and high-pitched).

Control panel CA10 plus with LCD-S keypad 11
It is possible to perform operations of two types:
1. Checking the status of zones or partitions.
2. Performing a user function.
The below table presents the functions performed by the MST-1 module:
CODE DESCRIPTION
[0][#] End of connection with the control panel
[1][#] Checking the status of partition 1
[2][#] Checking the status of partition 2
[3][#] Checking the status of partition 3
[4][#] Checking the status of partition 4
[9][#] Checking zones status
[CODE][#] Arming/disarming, alarm clearing
[CODE][¼][4] Zones bypass
[CODE][¼][5] Silent arming
[CODE][¼][7] Controlling of the output of ”MONO switch” type
[CODE][¼][8] Controlling of the output of ”BI switch” type
The control is performed using DTMF signals of the telephone keyboard. To call the selected
function press sequentially telephone keys in accordance with the calling method as shown
in the table.

Partition status signalling:
• three short beeps – partition disarmed;
• four short and one long beeps - partition armed.
Alarm in a partition or memory of an alarm are signalled with a series of short beeps
(changing from high to low) that last approx. 2,5 seconds directly after signals informing on
partition status.
The function ”Checking zone status” can readout the information, which of keypad’s LEDs
shine with a steady light and which of them are blinking. During co-operation with CA-10 plus
control panel the module informs in accordance with the settings of service functions FS 12
do FS 15.
The indication of a zone of an armed partition means memory of an alarm triggered by this
zone, while the indication of a zone of a disarmed partition means violation of the zone. In
the CA-10 plus control panel the installer himself defines the numbers of zones to be
indicated by LEDs of the keypad assigned to the partition (such keypad needs to be
connected to the control panel). It is possible to check the status of LEDs numbered from 1
to 12.
The method of checking the zone status:
• After the first calling of the function [9][#], the module generates short beeps, the number of
which is equal to the lowest number of a shining LED. If none of LEDs shines, the module
generates two long beeps.

Control panel CA10 plus with LCD-S keypad 13
• The subsequent calling of the function [9][#] indicates the next LED, which is shining. The
review needs to be continued till hearing two long signals informing that there are no more
LEDs shining. The repeated calling the function (after two long signals) will restart the
review of zone status.
• In order to check the zones status in the control panel CA-10 plus, first it is necessary to
check the status of one of zones through calling an appropriate function: ([1][#]; [2][#]; [3][#]
or [4][#]), and afterwards to check the status of its zones with the function [9][#]. Each of
zones needs to be called separately.
User functions, protected with a code, are performed in an identical way as during using the
control panel’s keypad (see description in the user manual). Acoustic signalling is identical
with signalling of the keypad. To go into the mode of control of other partitions in CA-10 plus
press [1][#]; [2][#]; [3][#] or [4][#].
The performance of the remaining user functions, functions of ”hold down” type, partitions
quick arming and entering the service mode through the MST-1 module is blocked.
The function [0][#] breaks the phone connection. Similarly the control panel finishes the
connection if for 30 seconds it doesn’t receive any DTMF signal from a telephone set.

WSTXKey Functions
Activated by installer functions assigned to WSTXkeys help in everyday control of the system
operation.
Find the partition where alarm was activated Skey
In multi-partition systems the find function enables determining the partition where alarm was
activated. On calling, the function shows by means of ARMED diode(s) the partition(s) where
alarm was activated, and on the LCD display the names of partitions (every time the Skey
is pressed next partition name is shown).
Find the violated zones Wkey
The function displays the names of violated zones. The zones are shown on pressing the W
key (the function shows the partition zones as selected in "Zone Setup" by the installer.
Find the zones that caused the alarm Xkey
The function displays the zone names for which the alarm has not yet been cleared
(individual alarm memory for zones). Every time the Xkey is pressed next zone name is
shown.
Find the partition where the keypad is attached Tkey
The function displays the name of the basic partition operated with a keypad (the partition to
which the keypad is physically attached).

Control panel CA10 plus with LCD-S keypad 15
User "HOLD DOWN" Functions
The functions are available to every user (without entering any access code). They are
activated by holding the function key down for a short time.
Switching to npartition (GO TO n) MNOP
In alarm systems divided into several partitions (subsystems) single keypad control over the
whole system is possible. The keys [1], [2], [3], [4] kept down for a short time switch the
partition the keypad is currently controlling. The keypad remains in the chosen partition for
some time and then returns to its basic partition. It is possible to switch between the
partitions and return to the basic partition by holding the appropriate number key down. For
example: the keypad is attached to partition A (1) (it is its basic partition), after holding down
the key 2 for a short time it is switched to partition B (2), after repeating the procedure with
key 3 it is switched to partition C (3), and after holding down key 1 the basic partition returns.
Attention: The GOTO function described above is active only when the installer sets the
parameter Function GOTO - Calling mode - according to LCD.
Alarm Memory Review Q
Holding down key 5 activates the Alarm Memory Review function. The message "Alarm
Memory Review ÇÈÅÆ " is displayed. Pressing any of the arrow keys causes the date,
time, and last alarm origin name to appear. Pressing Sor Tkeys enables scrolling the

16 User's Guide SATEL
event log. Pressing Wand Xkeys causes the zone description to appear. [*]key cancels
Alarm Memory Review function.
The control panel distinguishes between three types of alarms:
zone alarms - break-in, assault, fire etc. alarms set-up by the installer,
anti-tampering alarm - signaling attempts to dismantle or damage any part of the alarm
system,
keypad activated alarm - fire, auxiliary or panic type alarms.
Trouble Memory Review R
On holding down key 6 the "Trouble Memory Review ÇÈÅÆ " message is displayed.
Pressing any of the arrow keys causes the date, time, and last trouble type detected name to
appear. On pressing Skey the list of previously detected troubles is displayed, on pressing
Tkey the list of subsequent troubles. [*]key cancels the function.
Current Trouble Check-out S
When the control panel signals a trouble detection (TROUBLE diode is blinking), holding
down key 7 activates the Current Trouble Check-out function. On the keypad display
a trouble message appears. If there are more than one trouble pressing of WS or TX
allows scrolling through all the troubles detected.

Control panel CA10 plus with LCD-S keypad 17
NOTE:
If the installer has activated the "Indicate trouble until cancelled" option, the trouble
indicator will be on until cancelled, even if the trouble cause has been removed. The
trouble will be cleared after completing the trouble memory review and quitting the
function by pressing the [#] key. Quitting the function by means of another key will not
cancel blinking of the TROUBLE diode.
The control panel detects the following problems:
"No 230V power supply" - the control panel is equipped with back-up power supply that
enables it to function for a specified period of time. If, however, the "non 230V
power supply" message appears in spite of the fully operational wiring, service
should be informed.
"Clock loss" - the message appears on disconnecting and reconnecting the control
panel; the clock can be set with user function 6.
"No battery" – the battery is not connected or almost discharged or the fuse on the
control panel board is out of order.
"Low battery" - the message appears when the battery voltage is too low (lower than
12V under normal operational load). The state may hold for several hours after
current supply disconnection (or after connecting a low battery). The battery
charging time is dependent on its capacitance (the battery is charged with 350mA
or 700 mA direct current, the battery testing time necessary for determining its
state is about 12 minutes)

18 User's Guide SATEL
Telephone line troubles:
• "No voltage on the telephone line" - the message appears when the telephone
line to which the control panel is connected is cut off. It may also appear when the
telephone connected to the same line is off hook for longer than the time specified
by the installer (service function FS117)
• "No dialtone" or "Wrong dialtone" - the cause of the message is telephone
connection trouble (no signal or busy signal on lifting the receiver). The message
does not disappear till the next, successful telephone connection. It can be
cleared by calling the alarm check function and pressing [#] key.
"Output trouble" - no detectable load (for example the siren wiring is cut) or overloading
(short circuit) - in most cases service should be called.
"No RS printer" - stands for "not-ready" status of the printer attached to RS-232 port of
the control panel, (as a result of, for example, paper load trouble or no power
supply). The RS-232 port is monitored if the installer sets up real time event
printout.
"RAM error" - the message appears on erratic microchip operation of the system (it may
be caused by strong electromagnetic interference produced by lightning) - in most
cases service should be called.
"Keypad power supply trouble" - signals an installation error; servicing is necessary
(the message can be displayed only while reviewing alarm memory).
