Alarm Control Panel

WARNING
Before you start using the control panel, please read carefully this manual in order to avoid
mistakes that can lead to malfunction or even damage to the equipment.
Changes, modifications or repairs not authorized by the manufacturer shall void your rights
under the warranty.
The control panels should only be connected to the analog subscriber lines. In case of
changing the analog line to the digital one, it is necessary to contact the alarm system
installer.
Pay special attention if the telephone line used by the control panel is frequently busy and/or
failures are reported, concerning the line and/or monitoring. Report such situations to the
alarm system installer immediately.
To ensure adequate protection, the alarm security system must be in good working order,
therefore SATEL recommends that it be regularly tested. The control panel is equipped with
a number of self-diagnostic functions which, when properly configured by the installer, ensure
control over correct functioning of the system.
The alarm security system cannot prevent burglary, assault or fire from happening, but it
guarantees that in case of emergency measures will be taken to reduce the possible damage
(the alarm will be signaled optically and acoustically, appropriate services will be notified,
etc.), which may deter the potential burglars.
SATEL's goal is to continually upgrade the quality of its products, which may result in some
changes of their technical specifications and firmware. The current information on
the introduced modifications is available on our website.

SATEL VERSA Plus 3
1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing the product offered by the SATEL Company. Wishing you full
satisfaction with the choice you made, we are always ready to provide you with professional
assistance and information on our products.
The SATEL Company is manufacturer of a broad range of devices dedicated for use in
security alarm systems. Further information is available on our website www.satel.eu or at
the points of sale offering our products.
This manual describes various ways of operating the alarm system, except by using the LED
keypad and the touchscreen keypads (INT-TSG and INT-TSH), the description of which can
be found in separate manuals.
It is recommended that that the installers prepare their own user manual for the alarm
system installed by them. The manual must include all changes and modifications in
relation to the factory default settings.
The installer should train the users in the rules of operating the alarm system.
2. Technical reliability of the alarm system
A failure of any component of the alarm system will result in deterioration of the level of
protection. Unfortunately, the devices which are installed outside (e.g. the outdoor sirens) are
exposed to the adverse effects of weather. During storms, the devices connected to the
electrical system or telephone line are vulnerable to damage as a result of atmospheric
discharge.
The control panel is provided with a number of safeguards and automatic diagnostic features
to test the system performance. Detection of irregularities is signaled by the LED on the
keypad. You should immediately respond to such a signal, and, if necessary, consult
the installer.
In addition, some features designed for testing the alarm system are available in the control
panel. They make it possible to check the detectors, sirens, telephone communicators, etc for
correct functioning. Only regular testing and inspection of the alarm system will allow
you to keep a high level of protection against intrusion.
It is recommended that the installer, at the request of the user, carry out periodic
maintenance of the alarm system.
It is in the interest of the user to anticipate and plan in advance the procedures in case an
alarm is set off by the control panel. It is important to be able to verify the alarm, determine its
source and take appropriate actions (e.g. evacuation in the event of a fire alarm).
3. Alarm system operating costs
The control panel can inform the users and the monitoring station about the status of
protected facility. Realization of these functions by means of the phone line or GSM means
financial costs. The amount of the costs incurred depends on the amount of information sent.
A failure of telephone links, as well as an incorrect programming of the control panel, may
result in increased costs (due to making of excessive number of calls).
Please inform the installer, which is a priority: to deliver information at any cost, or to prevent
excessive costs. For example, after an event code has failed to be sent successfully to the
monitoring station, the control panel may repeat attempts every few minutes to send the code
or to cease the attempts to send the code until a next event occurs.

4 VERSA Plus SATEL
4. Glossary
Alarm – reaction of the alarm system to detection by the detectors of an intruder in the
protected area, or to another event within the protected area (e.g. glass pane break, gas
detection, etc.). The alarm can be signaled in keypads, proximity card arm/disarm devices,
or by sirens (during a defined time or until cleared). Additionally, information on the alarm
can be sent to the monitoring station or the user.
Alarm zone – the zone whose violation can result in the alarm being triggered. The alarm
zones can be either instant (violation will trigger the alarm at once) or delayed (violation
will only trigger the alarm after a defined period of time has elapsed, e.g. the entry delay).
Armed mode – the status of alarm system in which zone violation will trigger the alarm.
Code – a sequence of digits that allows the user to operate the alarm system by using
keypad.
Day armed mode – the status in which only some zones in the partition are armed, as
selected by the installer. The installer should indicate the zones to be armed when a user
stays in the protected area, but there is no risk of the zones being violated by the user
during the daytime. If no such zones are indicated by the installer, the user will not be able
to arm the partition in this mode.
Detector – the basic component of alarm system, which analyzes the environment and, if
a situation recognized as a threat occurs, transmits appropriate information to the control
panel (e.g. motion detectors on registering motion, magnetic contacts on opening the
door/window, glass-break detectors on breaking glass pane, gas detectors on sensing
gas, etc.).
Entry delay – time counted from the moment of entry into the protected area, which makes it
possible to disarm the partition before the alarm is triggered.
Entry route – the route which the user must have to follow after entry into the protected area
before being able to disarm the system. It is usually the same as the exit route.
Exit delay – time counted from the moment of starting the arming procedure in the partition,
which makes it possible to leave the protected area before the alarm is triggered.
Exit route – the route which the user must have to take after arming before he leaves the
protected area. It is usually the same as the entry route.
Fire alarm – alarm triggered by fire detectors, or from the keypad, in the event of fire.
Full armed mode – the status in which all zones belonging to the partition are armed.
Installer – the person who has installed and programmed the alarm system.
Medical (auxiliary) alarm – alarm triggered by means of a button, or from the keypad, if it is
necessary to call the medical assistance.
Night armed mode – the status in which only some zones in the partition are armed, as
selected by the installer. The installer should indicate the zones to be armed when a user
stays in the protected area, but there is no risk of the zones being violated by the user at
night. If no such zones are indicated by the installer, the user will not be able to arm the
partition in this mode.
Panic alarm – alarm triggered by means of the panic button, or from the keypad, in case of
a hold-up.
Partition – a part of the protected area, composed of a number of zones. The division into
partitions makes it possible to limit the access to part of the premises to some selected
users, and to arm/disarm the system only in part of the protected area.
Passive transponder – a wireless device which has no power supply of its own, but, under
the action of electromagnetic field, it can emit a signal that enables the device to be
identified. It can have the form of proximity card, proximity tag, etc.

SATEL VERSA Plus 5
Protected area – the area supervised by detectors being part of the alarm system.
Proximity card – a passive transponder that allows the user to operate the alarm system by
means of a proximity card reader (INT-CR and INT-IT proximity card arm/disarm devices
are provided with the reader).
Reporting – reporting events that occurred in the alarm system to the monitoring station. The
information about occurrence of an event can be transmitted via telephone line, Ethernet
network, etc. The companies offering the alarm system monitoring service undertake to
intervene if specific events occur (e.g. alarms, troubles, etc.).
Service code – a code that allows access to the service mode, as well as some functions in
the user menu.
Service technician – the person whose function is to control operability of the installed alarm
system and its components, as well as to eliminate possible problems. These duties can
be fulfilled by the installer or a person assigned by him.
Siren/beacon – a device providing information about alarms or other events in the alarm
system by means of acoustic or optical signaling.
Tamper alarm – reaction of the alarm system to opening the housing of a device which is
part of the alarm system, tearing off the device from the wall, cutting through the alarm
system cables, etc. Actions taken by the alarm system may be similar as in the event of
alarm, however, if the tamper alarm occurs, it is advisable to call in the installer so that he
can make a checkup.
User – a person which can operate the alarm system, using a code, proximity card or remote
control keyfob.
Warning alarm – in some situations, when the alarm criteria are met, the alarm system does
not take up immediately all the actions provided for in the event of alarm. These actions
are postponed, reaction of the system being limited to signaling warning alarm in keypads,
proximity card arm/disarm devices or on indoor sirens/beacons. Thus the user who made
a mistake when entering the protected area (failed to disarm the system before the entry
delay expires), or moving around the area when the day or night armed mode is activated
(violated the armed zone), has some extra time to disarm the system. Contact your
installer to obtain detailed information on the situations when the alarm will be preceded by
warning alarm.
Zone – 1. a separated portion of the protected area that can supervised by a detector or
detectors. 2. the terminals on control panel/expander electronics board to which you can
connect a detector or another device whose state is to be supervised (panic button, siren
tamper contact, power supply output indicating loss of 230 V AC supply, etc.).
Zone bypassing (inhibiting / isolating) – procedure preventing the alarm from being
triggered by the selected zone when it is in the armed mode. Violations of the zone will be
ignored by the control panel.
Zone violation – a change of the zone status to another, different from that defined for the
normal state (e.g. as a result of motion being sensed by the motion detector, gas being
sensed by the gas detector, etc.).
5. Control panel compliance with EN 50131 standard
requirements for Grade 2
If the installer has configured the control panel in compliance with the EN 50131 standard
requirements for Grade 2:
1. The user codes should be composed of at least 5 characters.
2. The amount of information provided in the keypads by means of LEDs, display and sound
signaling is limited.

6 VERSA Plus SATEL
3. The quick arming from keypad (without entering the code) is not available.
4. Arming may be impossible, if one of the situations provided for in the standard occurs
(zone violation, trouble).
How requirements of the standard affect the use of the control panel is described in detail
hereunder.
6. Operating the alarm system with LCD keypad
Fig. 1. VERSA-LCDM keypad (the VERSA-LCDR and VERSA-LCDM-WRL keypads differ
only in some graphic elements on its glass).
Fig. 2. VERSA-LCD keypad.
SATEL offers the following LCD keypads for VERSA Plus control panels:
VERSA-LCDM – hardwired keypad,
VERSA-LCDR – hardwired keypad with built-in proximity card reader,
VERSA-LCDM-WRL – wireless keypad with built-in proximity card reader,

SATEL VERSA Plus 7
VERSA-LCD – hardwired keypad.
The keypads are available in a variety of color options for the display and key backlight. The
color variant is indicated by the additional designation in the keypad name (e.g.
VERSA-LCD-GR – green display and keys backlight; VERSA-LCDM-WH – white display and
keys backlight).
6.1 Keypads description
6.1.1 LEDs presenting partition and system state
LED Color Description
green indicates the partition state (each partition has its own LED)
ON – partition is armed
blinking – exit delay countdown is running in partition
red indicates alarm or alarm memory in the partition (each partition has its
own LED)
The way of presenting the information is shown graphically below.
The information is presented for 2 seconds and repeated ( – LED is
OFF; – LED is ON). The higher position in the list means the higher
priority of the presented status:
– fire alarm,
–burglary alarm,
– warning alarm,
– tamper alarm,
– fire alarm memory,
– burglary alarm memory,
– warning alarm memory,
– tamper alarm memory.
yellow blinking when the system requires user's attention (e.g. because of
a trouble or trouble memory)
The LED goes off, if one or both partitions are armed.
blue indicates the service mode
ON – the service menu is available on the keypad
blinking – the service menu is not available on the keypad (it is either
available on another keypad or has been hidden by the installer)
Information about the armed state can be extinguished after a time period defined by
the installer. Entering the code and pressing the key will display again the
armed state information.
If the GRADE 2 global option is enabled by installer:
the LEDs indicate alarms only after entering the code and pressing the
key,
blinking of the LED means that there is a trouble in the system, some zones
are bypassed, or that there was an alarm.
When programming by means of the “step-by-step” method, the and LEDs present
the number of the current step (see p. 16).

8 VERSA Plus SATEL
When you are using the user menu or service menu, the LED is:
blinking rapidly during navigation through the menus and submenus,
steady on after a function is started.
6.1.2 Display
The display provides a number of data, facilitating communication between the alarm system
and the user. The installer defines how the display will be backlit and selects the information
to be shown on the display screen.
The display can work in normal mode or in zone presentation mode (the modes being
toggled by means of the key). When in the normal mode, the date and time (in installer
defined format) or the keypad name are presented in the upper line of the display. In the
zone presentation mode, symbols are displayed, showing the status of zones available in the
system (where the control panel settings do not provide for detector presence at a zone, the
status of the zone is not displayed). The numbers around the display correspond to the zone
numbers. The symbols illustrate the following zone states (the higher position on the list, the
higher priority of the presented state):
– inhibited (not displayed when armed),
[blinking] – isolated (not displayed when armed),
– long violated (not displayed when armed),
– no violations (not displayed when armed),
– first triggered alarm,
– tampered (2EOL type zone),
– violated,
– tamper memory (2EOL type zone),
– alarm memory,
– normal state.
If the global GRADE 2option is enabled by the installer, switching the display over to
the zone status presentation mode ( key) is impossible.
Irrespective of the selected mode, the occurrence of specific events may result in the
following information being displayed (the higher position = the higher priority of the status
presented):
countdown of auto-arming delay,
countdown of entry delay,
countdown of exit delay,
alarm from zone – the message contains the name of zone which triggered the alarm and
remains displayed until the alarm is cleared (in case of alarm from several zones,
messages about successive alarms are displayed alternately every 2 seconds – use the
or key to scroll them through),
alarm in partition – the message contains the name of partition where the alarm occurred
and remains displayed until the alarm is cleared (if there is alarm in both partitions,
messages about the alarm are displayed alternately every 2 seconds in the first and
second partition – use the or key to scroll them through),
there was a tamper and the service must be called in – the message is displayed until
trouble memory is cleared by a person using the service code (see: “Trouble memory and
clearing the trouble memory” p. 30).

6.2 Codes
Operating the alarm system by means of the keypad is possible after entering the code. Only
some functions can be run without the code being entered.
Do not make your code available to other people.
Using an incorrect code three times may:
trigger an alarm,
block the keypad for 90 seconds.
6.2.1 Factory default codes
By default, the following codes are preprogrammed in the control panel:
user 30 code: 1111
service code: 12345
The factory default codes should be changed before you start using your alarm
system (see: “Change own code”).
6.3 Arming
Completion of the steps below will start the arming procedure. The procedure ends when the
exit delay time elapses (if the countdown is completed successfully, the system becomes
armed – see also “Failure of arming procedure” p. 13). If the exit delay time is 0, the system
becomes armed instantly.
You can change the arming mode, which means you do not have to disarm the system to set
the partition to another arming mode. In the case of alarm, changing the arming mode or re-
activating the same arming mode will result in clearing the alarm (it does not apply to the
quick arming mode).
The day/night arming modes are available if the installer has defined which zones are
to be active in this armed mode.
If exit delay is programmed for a partition, you can leave the partition through the exit
route without triggering alarm after the partition arming procedure has started. The
exception is when the partition is armed without exit delay.
6.3.1 Arming without partition selection
Enter the code, and then press:
- to arm in full mode,
- to arm in day mode,
- to arm in night mode.
The partitions to which you have access will be armed.
6.3.2 Arming with proximity card VERSA-LCDR / VERSA-LCDM-WRL
You can use one of the following methods to arm the system (consult with the installer which
method is to be used):
– bring the card close to the keys and move it away,
– bring the card close to the keys and hold it there for about 3 seconds.
The partitions to which you have access will be armed in full mode.

12 VERSA Plus SATEL
The reader in VERSA-LCDM-WRL keypad is enabled:
for 5 seconds after disappearance of the connection establishment message (the
message is displayed after the keypad is activated by pressing any key),
for 20 seconds after pressing the and keys simultaneously.
6.3.3 Arming the selected partition
1. Indicate the partition which is to be armed (press one of the keys: - partition 1;
- partition 2).
2. Select the arming mode (press one of the keys: - full arming; - day arming;
- night arming). Backlight of the keys will start blinking, which indicates that the
code must be entered.
3. Enter the code.
4. Press the key or press again the key corresponding to the selected arming mode.
When the quick arming is available, the steps 3 and 4 are skipped.
6.3.4 Quick arming
The installer may permit arming without entering the code.
1. Indicate the partition(s) to be armed (press one of the keys: - partition 1; -
partition 2; or - both partitions).
2. Select the arming mode (press one of the keys: - full arming; - day arming;
- night arming).
You can switch the arming mode from the night mode to the full mode and from the
day mode to the full mode without entering the code. Otherwise, you will have to enter
the code – see “Arming the selected partition”.
The installer can configure the system so that the quick arming can be impossible, if
there is a violated zone in the partition, or a trouble has occurred in the system.
6.3.5 Arming without delay
When arming the system using one of the above mentioned methods, press and hold down
the arming mode selection key ( , or ) for about 3 seconds. The system will
become armed without delay, i.e. the delayed zones will act as instant ones (without any
exit/entry delay time).
In the day armed mode, the entry delay countdown may run, if the control panel is so
configured by the installer.
6.3.6 Information about bypassed zones
During an arming attempt you may get a message about bypassed zones in the partition. The
information will be displayed, if:
the control panel has been suitably configured by the installer,
you have the INSPECTION right.
The message is displayed in the following form:
“Bypassed zones 1=Arm 4=Bypasses” – if you have the ZONE INHIBITION right. You can:
– press the key to cancel the arming,
– press the key to proceed with the arming,
– press the key to start the INHIBIT function (see: “Zone inhibiting” p. 26).

“Bypassed zones 1=Arm” – if you don’t have the ZONE INHIBITION right. You can:
– press the key to cancel the arming,
– press the key to proceed with the arming.
6.3.7 Denial of arming and forced arming
The installer can configure the control panel so that initiating the arming procedure is
impossible, if:
in the partition to be armed, at least one zone that must not be violated during arming (the
PRIORITY option has been enabled for the zone by the installer) is violated,
in the partition to be armed, at least one alarm zone is violated beyond the exit route,
there is trouble in the system.
If you have the INSPECTION right, you will be informed about the cause of refusal to arm the
system (the order of message descriptions corresponds to their priority):
“Zone [zone number] violat.” – a zone with enabled PRIORITY option is violated. If two or
more such zones are violated, the indicator will be flashing on the display. To scroll
through the list of violated zones, use the and keys. You can:
– press the key to cancel the arming,
– press the key to inhibit the violated zone (you must have the ZONE INHIBITION
right). A message will be displayed, prompting you to confirm the command to inhibit the
zone (press to inhibit the zone, or to cancel inhibiting the zone).
The system can be armed after eliminating the cause of the zone violation, or after
bypassing the zone.
“Violated zones 1=Ok 2=Check” – an alarm zone outside of the exit route is violated. You
can:
– press the key to cancel the arming,
– press the key to force the arming,
– press the key to check which zone is violated. If two or more such zones are
violated, the indicator will be flashing on the display. To scroll through the list of
violated zones, use the and keys. If you have the ZONE INHIBITION
permission, you will be able inhibit the violated zone by pressing . A message will
be displayed, prompting you to confirm the command to inhibit the zone (press to
inhibit the zone, or to cancel inhibiting the zone).
“Troubles 1=Ok 2=Check” – there is a trouble in the system. You can:
– press the key to cancel the arming,
– press the key to force the arming,
– press the key to view the trouble log – the 7. SYSTEM STATE function will start
(see: “Checking the troubles / system state” p. 30).
Information on the forced arming is written into the event log.
6.3.8 Failure of arming procedure
The installer can configure the alarm system in such a manner that it will not be armed, if at
the moment of completing the exit delay countdown:
there is a violated zone in partition which was not violated when the arming procedure was
started,
there is a trouble which did not exist when the arming procedure was started.

14 VERSA Plus SATEL
If the arming has been forced, the control panel will ignore violations and troubles
which took place after starting the arming procedure.
6.4 Disarming and alarm clearing
Disarming and alarm clearing are carried out in the same way, the procedures being
interconnected. If the partition is armed and an alarm is triggered in it, then disarming will
also mean alarm clearing.
In order to clear the alarm without disarming the partition, arm again the partition in the
same mode (see: “Arming” p. 11).
6.4.1 Disarming and alarm clearing without partition selection
Enter the code and then press the key. Disarming / alarm clearing will take place in the
partitions to which you have access.
6.4.2 Disarming and alarm clearing with a proximity card VERSA-LCDR /
VERSA-LCDM-WRL
Bring the card close to the keys and move it away. Disarming / alarm clearing will take place
in the partitions to which you have access.
The reader in VERSA-LCDM-WRL keypad is enabled:
for 5 seconds after disappearance of the connection establishment message (the
message is displayed after the keypad is activated by pressing any key),
for 20 seconds after pressing the and keys simultaneously.
6.4.3 Disarming and alarm clearing in selected partition
1. Indicate partition which is to be disarmed and/or where alarm is to be cleared (press one
of the keys: - partition 1; - partition 2).
2. Press the key. Backlight of the keys will start blinking, which indicates that the code
must be entered.
3. Enter the code.
4. Press the or key.
6.4.4 Viewing the zones which triggered alarm
Having cleared the alarm, you can check which zones triggered the alarm (this does not
apply to the TMP zone of the control panel). The information will be available until viewing the
zones or arming the system.
1. Enter the code and press .
2. The “View cleared zones? 1=Yes” will appear on the display. Press .
3. The list of zones which triggered the alarm will be displayed.
4. Having viewed the list, press (the user menu will be displayed).
6.5 Quick inspection of partition status
If such an option is provided by the installer, pressing and holding down the key for
about 3 seconds will display information on the partition state (whether it is armed and what
type of arming mode is set). At the same time, the LED will come on. In the upper line,
a message about the first partition state is displayed, and in the lower line – about the second
partition state.
