SATEL VERSA 3
1. Control Panel Firmware Replacement
This manual applies to the control panels with firmware version 1.00. If a newer version of
firmware is available on our www.satel.pl website, an update of the control panel firmware is
possible. For this purpose, the control panel RS-232 (TTL) port (RJ type socket) should be
connected to the computer COM port (DB9 type socket) with the SATEL made cable which is
included in the DB9FC/RJ-KPL set.
Notes:
•From the moment of establishing communication between the control panel and the
firmware updating program, the control panel will not execute its normal functions until the
firmware replacement procedure is completed.
•If, for whatever reason, the firmware replacement procedure is abruptly terminated (e.g.
because of power failure) and, as a result, the control panel firmware gets damaged, the
control panel will not start normally, but will be waiting for the firmware replacement to
begin.
1.1 Firmware replacement using the service function
1. Enter the service code on the keypad (by default: 12345) and press the key.
2. Press in turn the keys to start the service mode.
3. Press in turn the keys (the STARTER function will start). The "Run
updating program on PC..." message will be displayed. The control panel will be waiting
until communication with the firmware updating program is established (press the
key to terminate operation of the STARTER function).
4. Start the control panel firmware update program in the computer.
5. Click on the button.
6. A window will open where you should indicate the computer COM port to which the
control panel is connected and press the "OK" button. The firmware updating program will
establish communication with the control panel.
7. Information will be displayed showing the version of firmware installed on the control
panel and available in a file (version, compilation date, language) and a window will
open, prompting whether you would like to continue. If the firmware is to be replaced,
press "Yes" to begin the control panel firmware replacement.
1.2 Firmware replacement without entering the service mode
1. Start the control panel firmware update program on the computer.
2. Click on the button.
3. A window will open where you should indicate the computer COM port to which the
control panel is connected and select the RESTART field.
4. Power down the control panel (first switch off the 230 V AC circuit to which the control
panel transformer is connected, and then the battery).
5. Power up the control panel (first switch on the battery, and then the 230 V AC circuit to
which the control panel transformer is connected).
6. Information will be displayed showing the version of firmware installed on the control
panel and available in a file (version, compilation date, language) and a window will open
prompting whether you would like to continue. If the firmware is to be replaced, press

4 Programming Manual SATEL
"Yes" (the control panel will only wait 10 seconds after power-up for the firmware
replacement to begin). Then the replacement of control panel firmware will start.
2. Programming
The alarm control panel may be configured for operation by using the keypad (locally) or
the computer with the DLOADX program installed (locally and remotely).
2.1 Keypad
Programming is only possible when the control panel is accessible to the service. By default,
the PERMANENT SERVICE ACCESS option is enabled ([code] X0. SERVICE
X5. PERM. SV. AC). After the installation is completed, the user having the
DOWNLOAD/SERVICE privilege can disable the PERMANENT SERVICE ACCESS option and
define each time the duration of service access to the control panel ([code]
X0. SERVICE X6. ACCESS TIME).
Programming the control panel from keypad is carried out by using the functions grouped in
the service mode menu. Access to the menu, submenus and particular functions is facilitated
by numerical shortcuts. In case of the LED keypad, programming is subject to some
limitations (e.g. entering names is impossible). SATEL recommends that the LCD keypad
be used for programming the control panel.
The service mode is indicated on the keypads by means of the blue LED. The LED is
lit on the keypad in which the service function menu is available, while it is blinking on all the
other keypads connected to the control panel. The service mode may also be signaled
acoustically, after the corresponding option is enabled. Additional information is provided by
the LED, which is:
– blinking during navigation throughout the menu and submenus;
– lit when any service function is running.
When in the service mode, the alarm system signals no alarms.
2.1.1 Starting the service mode
1. Enter the service code (by default: 12345) and press the key.
2. Press in turn the keys to start the service mode.
2.1.2 Starting the service mode "from pins"
If entering the service mode in the normal way is impossible, you can use the emergency
hardware procedure, so-called starting "from pins".
1. Power down the control panel (first, switch off power in the 230 V AC circuit, to which the
control panel transformer is connected, and then disconnect the battery).
2. Place a jumper across the RESET pins on the control panel mainboard.
3. Power up the control panel (first, connect the battery, and then switch on power supply in
the 230 V AC circuit, to which the control panel transformer is connected).
4. Wait a few seconds and remove the jumper from the RESET pins.
5. On the keypad with the lowest address, the LED will light up and the LED will start
blinking, indicating that the service menu is available on the keypad (in case of the LCD
keypad, the menu will be displayed). On the other keypads, the LEDs will start
blinking.

SATEL VERSA 5
If the SERVICE MODE FROM RESET PINS option is disabled in the control panel (see:
Section GLOBAL OPTIONS) then, depending on the type of keypad in which the
lowest address is set:
– LCD: the , and LEDs of the second partition will be lit, and the
message "Restore factory settings ? 1=Yes" will come up on the display;
– LED: the and LEDs of the second partition will be lit and the LED
will be blinking rapidly.
Pressing the key with digit 1 will reset the control panel to its factory settings,
but will enable entering the service mode.
2.1.3 Access to functions by using arrow keys
This way of starting the function is only available in the VERSA-LCD-GR keypad.
1. Use the and keys to find the required submenu (the shape of submenu
cursor is: ).
2. Press the or key to enter the submenu (use the key to return to the
previous menu/submenus, and the key to return to the main menu).
3. Repeat the steps described in 1 and 2 until you find the required function (the shape of
submenu indicating cursor is: ). Press the or key to start the function.
4. When entering new settings, accept them using the key and return to the submenu.
Press the key to cancel entering the new settings and return to the submenu.
2.1.4 Access to functions by using numerical shortcuts
This way of starting the function is available in both types of keypads supported by the
VERSA control panels (VERSA-LCD-GR and VERSA-LED-GR). All submenus and functions
are numbered. In order to enter a submenu, just press the key with number corresponding to
the submenu number. In order to start a function, press the key with number corresponding
to the function number, and then the key. You can quickly start the selected function by
entering at once a sequence of some digits (corresponding to the consecutive submenu
numbers and the function number) and confirming them by pressing the key.
For example, to start the expander identification function, first enter the service mode and
then press in turn the keys, where:
- enter submenu 2. HARDWARE;
- enter submenu 1. KPDS &EXPS.;
- start function 1. IDENTIFICAT.
In the VERSA-LCD-GR keypad, use the key to return from a submenu to the main
menu or from a function to a submenu, and use the key to return from a submenu to
the previous menu/submenu.
In the VERSA-LED-GR keypad, use the key to return to the main menu.
Notes:
•When using the numerical shortcuts, remember that the sequence of digits which starts
a function e.g. from the service mode main menu level will not start the same function
from the submenu level.
•In the LCD keypad, the shape of the submenu cursor is: , and that of the function
indicating cursor is : .

6 Programming Manual SATEL
2.1.5 "Step by step" programming method
Some components of the system (e.g. zones, outputs, expanders, wireless devices, event
codes for monitoring, etc.) should be programmed using the "step by step" method. When the
function is called up and the component to be configured selected from the list, the first
parameter available for programming will be displayed. After it has been configured and
confirmed by pressing the key, you will automatically proceed to programming a next
parameter. The confirmed parameter is saved to the control panel memory. After all available
parameters are configured, return to the submenu follows in the VERSA-LCD-GR keypad,
and to the main menu in the VERSA-LED-GR keypad. The programming can be terminated
at any moment by using the key (you will return to the submenu). The and
LEDs of the first and second partitions show the programming step number in binary mode
(see: page 14 Table 4).
2.1.6 Service mode menu
Shown in square brackets are sequences which enable calling up a particular submenu or
starting a particular function from the main menu level.

2.1.8 Entering data by means of the VERSA-LED-GR keypad
The data being entered are presented by means of LEDs. The method of programming
depends on the type of data to be entered by service function. To save the data in the control
panel, press the key. To exit the function without saving the changes, press the
key.
Selection from the single-choice list
The lit LEDs show the available items on the list. Blinking LED indicates the current
position of the cursor and, consequently, the item which is currently selected. The
key moves the cursor to the right, and the key – to the left. As all the LEDs are
numbered, you can use the numerical keys to select the item at once and move the
cursor there. The and keys are not used.
Selection from the multiple-choice list
The lit LEDs show which items have been selected. Blinking LED indicates the current
position of the cursor. The key moves the cursor to the right, and the key –
to the left. Press any numerical key to toggle the status of the LED over which the
cursor is placed (depending on its current status, the LED comes on or goes out). The
and keys are not used.
Entering decimal values
After entering the selected parameter programming function, the currently programmed
value will be presented in binary mode on LEDs 1-12 (see: Fig. 1). LEDs 1-4 present
(see: page 14 Table 4) the first digit , LEDs 5-8 – the second one, LEDs 9-12 – the third
one. To enter the new numerical value, press the corresponding numerical keys. You
can enter:
– 1 digit – it will be shown on LEDs 1-4 (the other LEDs are off);
– 2 digits – they will be shown on LEDs 1-8 (the other LEDs are off);
– 3 digits – they will be shown on LEDs 1-12.
The arrow keys are not used.
Correction of the entered value is only possible after re-entering the selected parameter
programming function.

2.2 DLOADX program
The DLOADX program enables data exchange between the computer and the control panel,
facilitates alarm system configuration, and ensures easy viewing of the status of zones,
partitions, outputs, troubles, and other components of the system. Access to the program is
protected by a code (password). To obtain access at the first run of the program, enter the
factory default code: 1234 (you need not enter the factory code, just click on the "OK"
button). It is recommended that the factory access code be changed.
Note: Entering an invalid code three times will terminate the program.
Communication between the program and the control panel is coded. The alarm control
panel may be programmed locally or remotely:
1. Local programming requires connection between the RS-232 (TTL) port on control
panel mainboard (RJ type socket) and the computer COM port. The connection should be
made by using the cable manufactured by SATEL and available in the DB9FC/RJ-KPL
set.
2. Remote programming is possible, owing to the built-in 300 bps modem. This
programming method requires connection of the control panel to the telephone line. An
analog modem must be connected on the computer side.

2.2.3 Parameters related to programming by means of the DLOADX program
In case of remote programming, it is necessary to configure some communication
parameters and options in the control panel. In case of local programming without verification
of identifiers, the parameters described below may be configured after communication with
the control panel is established.
VERSA communication identifier – identifier of the alarm control panel which makes it
possible to identify the control panel and match the data file to it, provided that the data file
has been saved on the computer. It consists of 8 hexadecimal characters (digits or letters
from A to F). The same identifier must not be programmed for different control panels
operated from the same computer (the DLOADX program will be incapable of distinguishing
between them).
DLOADXcommunication identifier – identifier of the computer with DLOADX program. If
communication is effected, including verification of identifiers, the control panel will only
establish connection with the program which uses the valid identifier. It consists of 8
hexadecimal characters (digits or letters from A to F).
Note: In case of establishing communication with the alarm system whose identifiers have
factory defaults (00000000), the DLOADX program will suggest random generated
identifiers.
VERSA panel telephone number – telephone number of the control panel. Available for
programming only in DLOADX program.
PC telephone number – telephone number of the computer from which the control panel is
to be programmed. It should be programmed if the telephone connection is to be made by
the control panel (the panel initiates the connection or calls back).
Rings before answer – number of rings after which the control panel will go off hook.
In the DLOADX program, the identifiers and telephone numbers are programmed in the
window "Identifiers andtelephone numbers". The command to open this window is available
in the COMMUNICATION menu. It can also be opened by using the Ctrl+R key shortcut. In the
