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.

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
