1.7.2 Zone bypassing
If a zone is not to trigger alarm, you can bypass it, when the partition to which the zone
belongs is disarmed. Zone bypassing is useful, for example, when you want to leave
a window open when the system is armed or when a detector connected to the zone is out of
order and sets off false alarms.
Zone inhibiting
The inhibited zone will remain bypassed until disarming the partition it belongs to, or until
unbypassing the zone by the user.
Enter the user menu and press in turn . Information on the bypassed
zones will be displayed. How it will be presented depends on the type of keypad.
LCD keypad
Shown in the upper line of the display will be a message to inform you that the zone is
bypassed, and in the lower line – the zone name. You can scroll through the zone list using
the and keys. There is a symbol in the upper right corner of the display:
– zone is not bypassed,
– zone is inhibited,
– zone is isolated.
Press any number key to change the displayed symbol to one of the following symbols:
– the zone is to be inhibited,
– the zone is to be unbypassed.
If you want to see the status of all zones which you can inhibit/unbypass, press or
. The numbers around the display enable identification of the zones. Use the and
keys to move the cursor. To inhibit/unbypass a zone, hover the cursor over it and
press any numeric key. If you want to restore the previous way of presentation of the zone
list, press or .
Press to quit the function. The zones will be inhibited/unbypassed.
LED keypad
The state of zones is illustrated by LEDs designated by numbers. The steady-on LEDs
indicate which zones are inhibited or isolated. The blinking (flashing) LED means that the
cursor is situated there. Use the and keys to move the cursor. The cursor may
only be moved over the LEDs corresponding to the zones which can be bypassed or
unbypassed. Press any digit-bearing key to change the LED status:
LED ON – the zone is to be inhibited,
LED OFF – the zone is to be unbypassed.
Press to quit the function. The zones will be inhibited/unbypassed.
Zone isolating
The isolated zone will remain bypassed until it is unbypassed by the user.
Enter the user menu and press in turn . Information on the bypassed
zones will be displayed. How it will be presented depends on the type of keypad.
LCD keypad
The way of indicating the zone state and the procedure are identical to those used for
inhibiting the zones, but pressing any number key will change the displayed symbol to one of
the following symbols:
– the zone is to be isolated,

SATEL VERSA Plus 7
– the zone is to be unbypassed.
LED keypad
The way of indicating the zone status and the procedure are identical to those used for zone
inhibiting.
1.7.3 Viewing the event log
The function is only available in the LCD keypad.
Enter the user menu and press in turn . The last event that occurred in the
system will be displayed. The event description includes the time of its occurrence, its name

menu and press in turn . The LCD keypad presents information on the display.
To scroll through the list, use the and keys. In the LED keypad, information on
troubles will be presented by means of LEDs (for description of the LEDs, please refer to the
LED keypad user manual).
2. Operating the alarm system by means of keyfob
The alarm system can be operated by means of keyfobs, if the 433 MHz keyfobs receiver
expansion module (INT-RX-S / INT-RX), 433 MHz wireless system controller (VERSA-MCU)
or ABAX wireless system controller (ACU-120 / ACU-270 / ACU-100 / ACU-250) is
connected to the control panel.
The user can have two keyfobs:
433 MHz keyfob – supported by the 433 MHz keyfobs receiver expansion module or 433
MHz wireless system controller,
APT-100 bidirectional keyfob – supported by the ABAX wireless system controller.
A single keyfob enables up to 6 functions to be executed. The list of functions assigned to the
buttons / combination of buttons should be obtained from the person who configured the
keyfob settings when adding / editing a user. In the case of APT-100 keyfob, that person
should also provide information about functionality of the LEDs. The keyfob LEDs can be
used to confirm execution of functions, as well as to indicate the system status (pressing
a button on the APT-100 keyfob is accompanied by the LEDs flashing rapidly three times,
and in a little while the LED(s) may come on for 3 seconds to provide information).
3. Operating the alarm system by telephone
You can operate the alarm system by using a touch-tone (DTMF) telephone. The voice menu
makes the operation an easy job. To access the voice menu, call the phone number of the
control panel. Establish, in consultation with the installer, the phone number to call to get
access to the voice menu.
3.1 Starting the operating by telephone
1. Call the control panel phone number. After the call is received, you will hear three short
beeps.

8 VERSA Plus SATEL
The installer can configure the control panel in such a manner that the analog
telephone communicator will only go off hook after the recall. If this is the case, call the
number, but hang up after the number of rings which has been set by the installer. Call
again within three minutes. The call will be received.
2. Enter the code from the telephone keypad and confirm by pressing #. 4 short beeps
followed by 1 long beep will confirm you have got access to the interactive voice menu. If
your code does not authorize you to get access, you will hear three long beeps in the
headset. If the code is incorrect, you will hear two long beeps in the headset.
The installer can allow for getting access to the voice menu from some defined phone
numbers without the code authorization (step 2 is skipped).
3. Messages of the interactive voice menu will be played back. They will inform you which
telephone keys you should use to be able to operate the control panel.
3.2 Ending the operating by telephone
1. Press
*key.
2. Press in turn the 0# keys. The control panel will go on-hook.
The control panel will goes on hook automatically after one minute of idle state.
4. SMS control
The alarm system can be operated by means of the SMS messages containing suitable
control commands. The SMS message must be sent to the number of the currently used SIM
card. The contents of control commands is to be programmed by the installer. Additionally,
the installer defines what the control panel is to do after receiving the control command, as
well as which users and from which phone numbers can operate the control panel using the
SMS messages.
Two or more control commands can be inserted in one SMS message.
When sending the USSD codes, the SMS message must have the following form:
xxxx=yyyy=
where "xxxx" is the control command and "yyyy" is the USSD code supported by the GSM
network operator.
The control panel is case sensitive.
5. VERSA Control application – first steps
The VERSA Control is an application which enables remote operation of the alarm system
from mobile devices. Additionally, the application can provide information about alarm system
events by using push notifications.
You can download the application from the internet stores: “Google play” (Android system
devices) or “App Store” (iOS system devices).
Having installed the application:
enter the name of control panel (to enable identification of the control panel when using
the application),
enter the MAC address of control panel (the hardware address of built-in Ethernet
communication module),
enter the ID number of control panel (the individual identification number for the purpose of
communication via the SATEL server),

SATEL VERSA Plus 9
enter the user code (which will be used when operating the control panel by means of the
application),
select an icon for the control panel (to facilitate identification of the control panel when
using the application),
enable / disable the push notifications of the alarm system events (if you enable the push
notifications, select the events about which you want to be informed).
You can check the MAC address and ID number in the LCD keypad. Enter the user
menu and press in turn . Find the built-in communication modules
on the list and then use the or key to find information on the MAC address
and ID number.
