MANUAL

WARNING
To avoid any problems during operation of this control panel, it is recommended that you
familiarize yourself with this manual before you start using the equipment.
Making any construction changes or unauthorized repairs is forbidden. This applies, in
particular, to modification of assemblies and components. Maintenance and/or repair
operations should be performed by authorized personnel (i.e. the installer or factory service).
The control panel should only be connected to the analog subscriber lines. Connecting its
telephone circuit to a digital network (e.g. ISDN) may cause damage to the equipment. 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 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.
CAUTION!
The security alarm system is fitted with a battery. Do not throw the used-up battery away, but
recycle it as required by the existing regulations (European Directives 91/157/EEC and
93/86/EEC93/86/EEC).
Currently valid EC declaration of conformity and product certificates are

1. Introduction
We are happy you have chosen a product offered by SATEL and hope you will be satisfied
with your choice. Please be assured that 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.pl or at
the points of sale offering our products.
2. Technical Performance of Security Alarm System
The alarm system is built of technical devices, the performance of which has crucial effect on
the effectiveness of the facility protection. Components of the alarm system may be exposed
to various external factors, such as weather conditions (e.g. outdoor sirens and, during
a storm, also other devices, as a result of atmospheric discharge which may cause harm to
electrical and telephone installations) or mechanical damage. Only a routine check of the
system operation makes it possible to maintain a high level of burglary protection.
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 [TROUBLE]
LED on the keypad. Respond to such a situation immediately and, if necessary, consult
the installer.
Functional test of the alarm system must be carried out on a regular basis. Check that the
control panel responds to violation of particular detectors, that fields of view of those
detectors are not obstructed, that there is reaction to opening the protected doors, and that
signaling devices and telephone messaging are functioning properly.
The installer will specify in detail how the system is to be checked. It is recommended that
the installer carry out periodic maintenance of the alarm system at the user's request.
It is in the user's interest to foresee and prearrange the procedures to be followed when the
control panels starts signaling an alarm. It is important to know how to verify the alarm and
identify its source on the basis of keypad information, and take appropriate measures, e.g., to
organize evacuation.
3. Alarm System Operating Costs
The main task of the control panel is signaling and efficient notification about alarm situations
and, in the case of the reporting function, providing the monitoring station with real-time
information about the protected facility status. Execution of these functions, based on the use
of telephone line, entails some financial costs. Generally, the level of costs incurred by the
alarm system owner depends on the amount of information the control panel must transfer to
the monitoring station. A failure of the telephone links, as well as incorrect programming of
the control panel, may substantially increase these costs. Such a situation usually results
from an excessive number of connections made.
The installer can adjust functioning of the alarm system to the specific conditions and the
type of protected premises, however it is the user who should decide if his or her priority will
be to transfer information at any price, or, if some technical problems occur, the control panel
will be allowed to skip some events, the reception of which has not been acknowledged by
the monitoring station.

VERSA SATEL 3
4. General Description
The VERSA control panel is an up-to-date, microprocessor-based control panel, designed for
intruder alarm systems. It is characterized by very easy operation, legible information
delivered to the user and highly reliable functioning. It is provided with a telephone
communicator (dialer) which ensures voice and text messaging capability, as well as
interfacing between the alarm system and the monitoring station. The control panel supports
various types of modules which expand its functionality.
The control panel has been designed for such premises as: apartments, detached houses,
stores, shops, kiosks, etc. Optional subdivision of the system into two fully independent or
overlapping partitions, as well as three armed modes which can be enabled individually for
each partition, ensure high flexibility during configuration of the system. Based on one control
panel, two independent alarm systems with own detectors and sirens can be created. Such
systems can be controlled by means of one common or a few separate keypads.
5. Operation
This manual describes the operating rules for the VERSA control panel. Basic operation of
the alarm system is limited to arming / disarming and suitably responding to the information
which may be signaled by the control panel.
Using the control panel keypad, it is possible to trigger special alarms (PANIC, FIRE,
MEDICAL), bypass the zone lines, establish connection with the service computer, and
control electrical devices, such as: electromagnetic lock, fan, lighting, etc.
Fig. 1. View of the VERSA-LED-GR keypad.
The LED type keypad provides information on the alarm system status by means of 36 LEDs
and audible signals.
The LCD type keypad provides information on the alarm system status by means of a liquid-
crystal display (2x16 characters), 6 LEDs and audible signals.

User Manual VERSA4
Backlighting of the keys and display in the LCD keypad may be permanent or automatically
activated by a keystroke or violation of the indicated zone of the control panel during the
armed mode. Operation mode of the backlight is specified by the installer.
Fig. 2. View of the VERSA-LCD-GR keypad.
5.1 LED functions
The LEDs provide information on the alarm system status and are designated by the
following symbols:
ALARM (red color) – alarm indicator, separate for each partition.
•Lit – indicates burglary alarm in the partition, goes off after the alarm is cleared.
•Lit with short extinguishments – burglary alarm occurred in the partition (alarm
memory).
•Blinking at a uniform rate (0.5s/0.5s) – fire alarm.
•Short blinks every 2s – fire alarm memory.
•Blinking at a uniform rate (1s/1s) – tamper alarm, tamper alarm memory.
•Blinking rapidly (0.25s/0.25s) – warning alarm; signal duration 30s.
•Blinking twice every 2s – indicates countdown of warning alarm time in partial
armed mode, if the time is longer than 30 seconds.
The ALARM LED for partition II lights up together with the TROUBLE LED after entering
the programming of service function settings (the first stage of programming).
ARMED (green color) – armed mode indicator, separate for each partition.
•Lit – the partition is armed (optionally, the LED can be extinguished by the control
panel after the set time from 1 to 255 seconds after arming has elapsed – service
setting).
•Blinking – countdown of the partition exit delay.

VERSA SATEL 5
TROUBLE (yellow color) – trouble indicator.
•Blinking slowly – indicates that a trouble has occurred in the alarm system. The
LED goes off on arming one or two partitions, on clearing the cause of trouble or
after executing the current trouble check function (user function no. 7) and
clearing the trouble memory.
•Blinking rapidly – the control panel has entered the user function / service
function menu.
•Lit – programming the function settings or checking the armed mode.
SERVICE (blue color) – indicator of the control panel operation in service mode.
•Lit – service functions available from the given keypad.
•Blinking – the control panel is in service mode, programming available from
another keypad.
1…30

ZONE (red color, LED type keypad only) – status indicators for the system zones.
Detailed information is given in the next section of this manual.
5.2 LCD display functions
At its basic status, the LCD keypad can display date and time (format to be selected by the
installer) or keypad name. The following system statuses can also be indicated (the order as
per the display priority – from highest to lowest):
1. auto-arming delay countdown;
2. entry delay countdown;
3. exit delay countdown;
4. alarm from zone;
5. alarm in partition;
6. message service " System tamper, call service".
The messages on alarms from zones or partitions are displayed at the control panel
emergency status. If the alarm has been triggered from several zones, you can review the
names of those zones, using the arrow keys. Information on the alarm source is visible until
the alarm is cleared. The message content includes the name of zone or partition. The
installer decides whether such messages will be displayed.
The LCD keypad will display the status of control panel zones after you press and hold down
the key for approx. 3 sec. Numbers from 1 to 30, indicating the fields assigned to
individual system zones, are situated around the LCD display. Shown below are symbols
which can be displayed in those positions, as well as their meaning. The column next to the
symbols contains description of the lighting mode for LEDs representing individual zones on
the LED keypad. The order in the table indicates the event priority (from highest to lowest) –
the highest priority symbol is always displayed for the zone.
Note:
•If, when the control panel is in armed mode, a delayed zone is violated as the first one,
and then alarm is triggered by another zone, the first alarm memory will be assigned to
the zone which was violated first.
•If, after violation of a delayed zone, the armed mode is disabled without triggering alarm,
then the first alarm (violation) memory will be automatically cleared.

Table 1. Description of signaling the status of control panel zones on the keypad.
5.3 States signaled acoustically on the keypad
The keypad can generate the following beeps:
•one short – confirmation of a keystroke;
•two short – confirmation of entering the user function programming mode;
•three short – waiting for the code after partition armed mode is selected, disabling the
chime signaling on keypad (key ), disabling the controllable output;
•one long (duration approx. 1.5 s) – an attempt of arming, when the control panel is
not ready for supervision (some zones with the "priority" option enabled are violated or
tampered); the [TROUBLE] LED lights up at the same time;
•two long – invalid code, unavailable function, canceled function or wrong function
data, exiting the timer programming function;
•three long – code recognized, but the function called is unavailable or execution of
the function is for some reason impossible at the moment;
•four short, one long – arming/disarming, exiting the service mode, correct
termination of the programming function, enabling the chime signaling on keypad,
activating the control panel controllable output.
Event signaling in the system:
•continuous beep – alarm;
•intermittent beep (0.25s/0.25s) – warning alarm;
•intermittent beep (0.5s/0.5s) – fire alarm;
•one long beep every 3 sec – signaling the exit delay countdown;
•two short beeps every 1.5 sec – signaling the entry delay countdown;

VERSA SATEL 7
•two short beeps every 2.5 sec – signaling a new trouble;
•five short beeps – violation of a zone with "CHIME" option;
•a series of beeps with diminishing duration every 5 sec – auto-arming delay
countdown.
The installer decides which events are to be acoustically signaled on the keypad.
Note : The last 10 seconds of exit delay countdown is signaled by a series of short beeps
ended by one long beep. The purpose of this way of signaling is to indicate the
moment of the countdown completion to the user.
5.4 Events signaled on alarm outputs
If the control panel armed mode is remotely controlled (e.g. by means of key fob), the
installer can enable the arming/disarming and alarm clearing signals on the siren control
outputs. If the output controls operation of a siren, the latter will generate short sounds (in
much the same way as in the car alarm systems). The signals have the following meaning:
•one short sound – arming;
•two short sounds – disarming;
•four short sounds – alarm clearing or disarming and alarm clearing.
Additionally, the alarm outputs signal the typical situations for the alarm system:
•continuous signal – burglary alarm;
•intermittent signal 1 s/1 s – fire alarm.
5.5 Signaling tamper alarm
Since the alarm installation is watched 24 hours a day, whether the system is armed or not,
violation of any component of the installation will trigger tamper alarm in the partition to which
the given component is assigned. Such an alarm may be signaled only on selected sirens,
which may be activated only when the control panel is in armed mode. The loud signaling
mode should be set by the installer of the system.
On the LED keypad, the [ALARM] LED lights up and the [TROUBLE] LED starts blinking
during the tamper alarm. On the LCD keypad, a message can be displayed, indicating the
alarm source. The alarm can be caused by:
•opening the enclosure (of control panel, expander, detector, siren or keypad);
•tearing off the enclosure from the wall (mounting surface);
•damaged cable, etc.
As each of the above situations can pose a threat to the security of protected premises, the
installer should be notified about the existing situation, so as to carry out inspection of the
installation and repair the faults, if any.
In order to encourage the user to take action, the installer can optionally enable the options
TROUBLE MEMORY UNTIL REVIEW and SERVICE MESSAGE AFTER TAMPER ALARM. In this case, the
"System tamper, call service" message will be displayed and the [TROUBLE] LED will
start blinking when the alarm is cleared on the LCD keypad. The LED keypad will also signal
a trouble in the system and some LEDs may be blinking on it, if the tamper affects defined
zones of the control panel. The alarm source can be determined by viewing the log of current
troubles (user function no. 7).
The administrator (master) or an ordinary user can clear the alarm, but he cannot clear the
service message and the trouble memory. The message after tamper alarm can only be
cleared by means of the service code after the current troubles are reviewed and the trouble
memory cleared by using the key when exiting the view function. If the cause of

User Manual VERSA8
reported tamper is not cleared, the trouble signaling will continue and the message will not
disappear.
If the SERVICE MESSAGE AFTER TAMPER ALARM option is not enabled by the installer, only the
[TROUBLE] LED will be blinking after the tamper alarm is cleared, and the date and time
will be displayed on the LCD keypad. The user with INSPECTION privilege will be able to clear
the trouble memory.
If the TROUBLE MEMORY UNTIL REVIEW is not enabled by the installer either, the trouble
signaling will end on clearing the tamper signal cause.
5.6 Signaling warning alarm
The installer can activate the WARNING ALARM function in the control panel. The warning alarm
function is aimed at limiting the number of false alarms caused mistakenly by the user when
disarming the system or moving around the premises where partial armed mode is activated.
The warning alarm is especially important in systems in which suppression of armed mode
information is used. If the user misses the time for disarming the system during the ENTRY
DELAY countdown or violates the indicated zone which is armed in the (night or day) partial
armed mode of the partition, the control panel can trigger the warning alarm. The warning
alarm, which is signaled on the keypad and, optionally, on the indoor siren, does not activate
reporting, messaging and/or outdoor signaling.
The warning alarm procedure is as follows. On violating the entry zone, the control panel will
start the ENTRY DELAY countdown. If the user fails to disarm the system, the control panel will
trigger acoustic signaling on the keypad (provided the signaling is active) by an intermittent
signal (0.25 s/0.25 s) for 30 seconds, as well as optical signaling by the [ALARM] LED.
Next, the burglary alarm signaling will be set off. If the user can manage to disarm the
system, the burglary alarm will not be signaled.
In case of the warning alarm in partial armed mode, the installer sets the zones which, when
violated, can trigger the warning alarm in the same way as the entry zone. Different warning
alarm times can be programmed for each partition (up to 255 s). If the time is not
programmed, the warning alarm will last 30 seconds, as in the case of entry zone violation.
Irrespective of programmed time duration, the acoustic warning alarm on keypad will last for
the first 30 seconds.
Note: The warning alarm is generated only once after the system has been armed.
5.7 User codes
For everyday operation of the control panel, it is necessary to know the user code (the code
is a sequence of 4 to 8 digits from the 0–9 range). Entering the code should be completed
by pressing the key which corresponds to the operation you want to carry out. Details are
described below in this manual.
When entering the code, the keypad may show the number of entered characters of the
code. In the LCD keypad, asterisks are displayed in the lower line, illustrating the subsequent
code characters, while in the LED keypad, LEDs light up in succession, starting from number
16.
The code can control one or two partitions, can have different authority levels (user
schedules) and assigned name, depending on the selection made when entering a new user
or editing an existing one.
To each user code (except for the service code), it is possible to assign a proximity card or
another passive transponder and a key fob, which are used to control the alarm system
(arm/disarm; using the key fob, you can also control the control panel outputs, trigger special
alarms, activate the alarm signaling delay).

VERSA SATEL 9
The following factory defaults are programmed in the control panel:
USER CODE NO.30 (ADMINISTRATOR) 1111
SERVICE CODE 12345
Using any of the above codes you can:
•arm the system (in one or two partitions, in one of 3 available modes);
•change the armed mode in one or two partitions;
•disarm the system in one or two partitions;
•clear alarm;
•call up the user function menu.
Notes:
•The SERVICE CODE opens next menus and functions intended for the installer (SERVICE
MODE).
•Disarming can be combined with simultaneous alarm clearing.
•To clear alarm without disarming the system, use the code to repeat the operation of
arming the system in one of the three modes.
•The user menu gives access to number of functions described below in this manual. The
user has access to the functions which he is authorized to execute at the moment.
Using the administrator's (master's) or service code enables 29 next user codes to be
programmed or deleted, if they have already been programmed. Using the service code, you
can delete all the user codes.
Notes:
•Code properties, grouped into the user schedules, are described in the section on
creating a new user (see page 24).
•The installer can change the authority level and names of the particular user schedules.
5.8 Armed mode of the control panel
The VERSA system enables two separate or overlapping partitions to be created. The zones
(detectors) belonging to both partitions can be armed as soon as one of the partitions is
armed or only after both of them are armed – service setting.
Each of the partitions can be controlled separately, i.e. arming or disarming of one partition
does not depend on the other partition status. If the code is to control both partitions, it can
be used to arm/disarm the selected partition or both partitions simultaneously.
In order to adjust the alarm system to various situations, the VERSA control panel offers
a few partition armed modes.
5.8.1 Full armed mode (1)
Operating mode during which the detectors connected to the control panel control the
indicated partition, and violation of the protected areas is signaled by the control panel with
all available means (monitoring, messaging, sirens, keypad).
5.8.2 Night armed mode (2)
Supervision mode during which some detectors indicated by the installer are inactive (e.g.
those monitoring the sleeping room or one floor area). Violation of the active detectors results
in normal reaction of the control panel, as in the full armed mode.

User Manual VERSA10
5.8.3 Day armed mode (3)
Supervision mode during which some detectors indicated by the installer are inactive (e.g.
those monitoring the interior of the whole apartment). Violation of the active detectors results
in normal reaction of the control panel, as in the full armed mode. Usually, the area within
which movement is possible inside the protected premises (partition) with activated day
armed mode is larger than with activated night armed mode.
5.8.4 Partition time parameters
Armed mode of the control panel is connected with the partition ENTRY DELAY and EXIT DELAY
times. The installer sets these time values separately for each partition.
After the partition has been armed, the user should leave the protected area. Depending on
the armed mode, different areas and elements of the premises are protected. The installer
should instruct the user, where he can move around after the given armed mode is activated.
From the moment of arming (irrespective of the type of armed mode), the control panel starts
signaling the EXIT DELAY countdown. The card readers and keypads may generate
appropriate sounds, and the [ARMED] LEDs on the keypad start blinking. The LCD type
keypad will display information on the time left before arming the delayed zones (the instant
zones become active at once). If the exit delay countdown is running in both partitions, the
keypad shows the partition in which the countdown will be finished first, and then displays the
exit delay time for the partition which is not armed yet. The LED type keypad shows
symbolically the time before the partition is armed, by means of LEDs. The LEDs with
numbers 1-15 refer to the partition I, and the LEDs 16-30 – to the partition II. If the time
before arming is longer than 30 seconds, all LEDs are lit. If the time is reduced to below 30
seconds, then one LED goes out every 2 seconds, starting from number 15 for the partition I
and number 30 for the partition II.
Violation of the entry zone during the armed mode will start the ENTRY DELAY countdown.
Unless the partition is disarmed before expiry of the delay time, then after completion of the
countdown the control panel will start signaling the warning alarm or the regular alarm, if the
warning alarm function is not enabled. Violation of the instant zones, despite the ENTRY DELAY
countdown, may trigger the alarm. Signaling of the alarm may be delayed by the WARNING
ALARM TIME, if the warning alarm function is enabled.
The ENTRY DELAY countdown can be signaled, similarly as the EXIT DELAY countdown, by
a suitable acoustic signal and information on the LCD keypad display. In the LED keypad, by
contrast, all the LEDs (1-15 or 16-30) are blinking simultaneously during the ENTRY DELAY
countdown, symbolizing the time left until the partition I or II is disarmed.
Notes:
•During arming, the exit delay countdown can be finished and the delays disabled. If
this is the case, violation of any armed zone (including the entry/exit and delayed ones) will
trigger instant alarm. In order to activate the armed mode with disabled entry delay, enter
the code and then press and hold down for approx. 3 seconds the key indicating the type of
armed mode. This function is mainly used when activating the day or night armed mode.
•It is possible to change over between the control panel armed modes without disarming.
•If, prior to changing over the armed mode, the control panel was signaling alarm, then
after change-over to another armed mode using the code, the alarm will be cleared. The
alarm signaling can also be cleared by "re-starting" the same armed mode in which the
control panel was before.
•Changing over the armed mode will start signaling of the partition EXIT DELAY time, if it was
programmed and was not disabled by holding down the key. The user who remains in the
premises can disable the acoustic signaling in the keypad for approx. 60s by pressing any
numerical key.

VERSA SATEL 11
5.9 Code arming
In order to arm the system, enter the code and press the key indicating the armed mode. If
you make a mistake when entering the code, press the key and re-enter the code.
Enter the code carefully. Entering an invalid code 3 times may trigger an alarm (option
ALARM:3INCORRECT CODES enabled).
If the code is correct and the arming is possible, the control panel will confirm acceptance of
the command by four short beeps and one long beep and become armed. If the EXIT DELAY
has been programmed by the installer, the [ARMED] LED will start blinking, the buzzer will
generate periodical beeps, indicating that the delay time countdown has started. The
ENTRY/EXIT and DELAYED zones will be armed after completion of the countdown, while the
INSTANT zones will be armed immediately.
The installer defines duration of the EXIT DELAY and the operating mode of acoustic signaling.
Example: arming by "VERSA" user code (digits: 83772).
Press in turn: to activate full armed mode.
Press in turn: to activate full armed mode.
Press in turn: to activate night armed mode.
Press in turn: to activate day armed mode.
Note :Using the sequence [CODE] will only arm the system, when no partition is
armed and the control panel is not signaling alarm. If any of these situations occurs,
the sequence [CODE] will disarm the system and/or clear the alarm.
If the code controls both partitions, the above mentioned method will arm both partitions in
the same mode. In order to arm just one partition or activate different types of armed mode in
different partitions using such a code (which controls both partitions), press in turn the key
with partition number and the key with armed mode type. After the partition and armed mode
are selected, the backlight of keypad keys will start flashing, which indicates that the code
should be entered now and the same armed mode confirmed.
Example: Arm the second partition by the "VERSA" code in the night armed mode. The
code controls both partitions.
Press in turn:
In order to change the armed mode, if it is already activated, proceed exactly in the same
way as during the ordinary arming.
Note :The above described method for arming a single partition is only used when the quick-
arming function is not activated in the keypad. If this function has been started, then
arming a single partition or changing the partition armed mode need not be confirmed
by code.
The control panel may fail to arm the system, if:
•The control panel is not ready for arming: there are some installer defined zones,
which cannot be violated when arming ("priority" option) and one of such zones is
violeted – which is signaled by the control panel by one long beep, lighting up the
[TROUBLE] LED and displaying the names of violated zones on the LCD keypad.
If this is the case, wait a minute until all zones are free (in the LED keypad, the zone
status indicator LEDs go out; in the LCD keypad, the violation symbols disappear) and
reenter the code.

User Manual VERSA12
If some of the zones remain violated all the time (in the LED keypad, one of the LEDs
is always lit, and in the LCD keypad, the symbol denoting zone violation is displayed –
which may be caused e.g. by defective detectors), arming is possible after bypassing
that zone (by the user function no. 4).
Note:
When viewing the violated zones, the control panel enables such zones to be quickly
bypassed from the LCD keypad. In order to bypass the zone, press the key. If
the zone can be bypassed by the user, the keypad will display a message with the
prompt whether the given zone is to be bypassed. Press the key to bypass the
zone, and then the control panel will display information on the next violated zone, or
will arm the system, if all violated zones have already been bypassed.
•A tamper has occurred in at least one of the 2EOL zones.
•The code is wrong – this situation is signaled by two long beeps.
5.10 Quick arming
Provision is made for a quick arming, without any code, by pressing in turn two keypad keys.
It is possible to arm the first partition, the second partition or both partitions at the same time.
The first key selects the partition, the second one – the type of armed mode.
PARTITION I PARTITION II PARTITION I and II
FULL ARMED MODE or
NIGHT ARMED MODE or
DAY ARMED MODE or
Table 2. Arming without code.
Using the quick arming procedure you can change the armed mode without disarming the
system. The armed mode can be changed to another one in each partition separately.
Note: Changing the armed mode without code will not clear alarm in the partition. Alarm can
only be cleared, when the armed mode is changed with the use of code.
The control panel may fail to arm the system, if:
•The control panel is not ready for arming (see: description in previous section of this manual);
•the function is disabled by the installer.
5.11 Disarming and alarm clearing
If one of the partitions is armed (the [ARMED] LED is lit or blinking), alarming (the
[ALARM] LED is lit or blinking) or armed and alarming at the same time, entering the given
partition user code and confirming it with the or key will disarm the partition
and/or clear the alarm. The code controlling both partitions will disarm and clear alarm in both
partitions simultaneously (provided they are active). In order to disarm just one partition using
such a code, entering the code must be preceded by pressing in turn the key with partition
number and the disarming key.
Example: Disarm both partitions with "VERSA" code controlling both partitions.
Press in turn:
or

VERSA SATEL 13
Example : Disarm partition II only with "VERSA" code controlling both partitions.
Press in turn:
If you make a mistake when entering the code, press the key and reenter the code.
The control panel will confirm acceptance of the command by four short beeps and one long
beep and extinguishment of the [ARMED] and/or [ALARM] LED (if it is lit).
The control panel will not arm the system or clear the alarm, if the code is invalid or the user
has no suitable privilege. Refusal to clear the alarm is signaled by three long beeps.
5.12Controlling the control panel armed mode with proximity cards
The installer can install the INT-IT proximity card reader in the alarm system. The device
enables one proximity card for controlling the partitions to be assigned to each user. The
control extent is limited by the privileges of the given user code and settings of the device
programmed by the installer. The control procedure is described below in this manual (see
page 36).
5.13Remote control of the control panel operation
The installer can install the 433MHz INT-RX key fob control expander in the alarm system.
The device makes it possible to assign one remote control transmitter (key fob) to each user,
to enable remote arming and disarming, clearing alarms, triggering panic, auxiliary (medical)
or fire alarms, and controlling the outputs. The control extent is limited by the privileges of the
given user code and settings of the module, programmed by the installer. The control
procedure is described below in this manual (see page 37).
Furthermore, the installer can install any radio controller in the system, to enable remote
control of the key fob, or special buttons, intended for simplified arming/disarming, triggering
and clearing alarms. The control panel programmable zones can be used for this purpose.
The armed mode will be always activated by means of the key fob, irrespective of the status
(violation) of the control panel zones.
The installer can limit functionality of the armed mode control zone to arming only, while
disarming and alarm clearing will require that a user code be used.
To facilitate the remote control of the control panel operation, the installer can enable the
arm/disarm signaling by the acoustic or optical siren installed in the system. The method of
remote control depends on the installed devices and settings programmed by the installer.
The installer should instruct the user how the alarm system can be controlled by means of
the key fob.
5.14Using timers in the alarm system
The user has access to programming four TIMERS. The timer ON/OFF time is programmed
separately for each day of the week and, additionally, the daily ON/OFF time is programmed.
Thus each timer can have two periods of activity per 24 hours. The modules can
automatically control the armed status of partitions or operation of the control panel
controlling outputs. 4 time exceptions can be programmed for each timer, when the ON/OFF
times will be different than usual. An exception can apply to one day or to a longer time
interval.
In case of partition control, you can set the partition armed mode and the arming/disarming
time. You may optionally program the arming time only, with disarming by the user or the other

User Manual VERSA14
way round. The timer can control one or two partitions. The installer will set the so-called TIMER
PRIORITY option for each partition. If the option is enabled, disarming will be always done by the
timer. If the option is disabled, partition will only be disarmed by the timer, if it was armed by the
timer. If it was armed by the user, it will remain armed until disarmed by user.
In case of output control, the user can only change the output (timer) ON/OFF time. The
numbers of controlled outputs and their operating modes are set by the installer. The output
can be active throughout the entire period of timer activity, can become active for a
programmed period of time or permanently (until deactivated by the user). The details of
timer programming are described on page 30.
5.15Auto-arming deferment
Automatic control of the partition armed mode is connected with the arming deferment
function. The user who remains in the premises can defer the automatic arming for the time
programmed by the installer, using the suitable user function (see page 30).
The installer can program the AUTO-ARMING DELAY and the SIMPLE DEFERMENT option for the
partition. In such a situation, the control panel warns by a suitable acoustic signal that the
moment of arming is near, and the user can, during the delay time countdown, defer the
arming by pressing the key twice. Arming can be deferred for time programmed by the
installer. The simple deferment can be limited to one-time use. If further deferments are
necessary, user code and the [6 1 #] user function must be used.
6. User Functions of "PRESS AND HOLD DOWN" Type
These functions are available to each user of the protected premises (without using the
code). To call them up, press and hold down the appropriate key for about 3 sec (until
acoustic signaling is triggered in the keypad).
6.1 Enabling/disabling the chime signal
Using this function (press and hold down the key), you can enable or disable the chime
signal in the keypad (signaling violation of selected zones, when the control panel is disarmed).
If execution of the function is confirmed by four short beeps and one long beep, the signaling is
enabled, and if it is confirmed by three short beeps, the signaling in the keypad is disabled.
The LCD keypad will additionally display a message to confirm the operation.
The installer defines which zones will generate the chime signal when violated.
6.2 Changing the display mode
The function is only available in the LCD keypad. It can switch the LCD keypad display
modes between the date and time display and the graphical display of control panel zone
status. Meaning of the symbols describing the status of zones is shown on page 5.
6.3 Fire alarm
The function enables fire alarm to be triggered from the keypad. The control panel initiates
signaling on the keypad and on the FIRE ALARM, INTERNAL SIREN,EXTERNAL SIREN outputs and
sends the appropriate code to the monitoring station. The function may be disabled by the
installer.
6.4 Auxiliary (Medical) alarm
The meaning of this alarm can be defined, depending on the needs. The function can be
used for sending auxiliary alarm information to the monitoring station (it can be, for example,
a signal of calling for medical assistance, as adopted in the "Contact ID" monitoring format).

VERSA SATEL 15
The function may be disabled by the installer.
6.5 Panic alarm
The function enables panic alarm to be triggered from the keypad. The control panel initiates
signaling on the alarm output, in the keypad and sends the appropriate code to the
monitoring station. The function may be disabled by the installer or limited only to the LCD
keypad (text message), monitoring and "PANIC alarm" output type (so-called silent panic
alarm).
6.6 Checking the armed mode
The function enables checking the partition status. It is particularly useful, when the function
extinguishing partition status indicator LEDs is enabled. On activating the function, the
keypad will light up the [TROUBLE] LED and display information on armed / disarmed
mode.
In the LCD keypad, the message in the upper line of display refers to the partition I, and that
in the lower line – to the partition II. Similarly, in the LED keypad, information referring to
armed mode of the partition I is displayed in the upper line on LEDs 1-3, and the partition II –
in the lower line on LEDs 16-18. The full armed mode is shown by LEDs 1 and 16, the night
armed mode – by LEDs 2 and 17, and the day armed mode – by LEDs 3 and 18. If none of
the LEDs 1-3 or 16-18 is lit, the corresponding partition is disarmed. Press the key to
reset the armed mode information. The function may be disabled by the installer.
7. Direct Control of Outputs
The installer can activate the so-called "QUICK CONTROL" function, which allows the user, by
means of keypad keys and without using any code, to easily control the functioning of control
panel outputs, and consequently, the functioning of electrical devices. One output to be
controlled can be assigned to individual keypad keys from to .
Press a numerical key and the key to enable the output assigned to the given key,
permanently or for a programmed time period (up to 100 minutes 39 seconds). Press the
numerical key and the key to deactivate the output, if it was active.
Example : Deactivate the output 9 assigned to the key 9 and activate the output 10
assigned to the key 0.
Press in turn: to deactivate the output 9;
to activate the output 10.
8. User Functions Available After Entering Code
The users (including the service) have access to functions useful during everyday operation
of the alarm system. For example, the timer settings or changing the service code are only
available from the user function level. Having entered the service mode, the installer can
program the user functions without any need for quitting this mode (service function 9).
To open the user function menu, described in this section, enter the USER CODE and confirm it
with the key. The control panel will confirm entering the user function mode (the main
menu) by two short beeps and rapid blinking of the [TROUBLE] LED. The functions are
numbered, so they can be called up by entering the number from the keypad (both LED and
LCD type). Having entered the user mode, press first the key with function number from the
main menu, and then the key with function number from the submenu (if any). After the key is

User Manual VERSA16
pressed, the LCD keypad will display the submenu name for two seconds, and then will open
the list of functions available in the submenu. Also the LED keypad will wait 2 seconds and
then it will enter the submenu.
Calling up the menu, submenu or function is acknowledged with two short beeps. In order to
enter the function settings and check or change the parameter values, select the function
number in the menu / submenu and press the or key. Generally, the possibility to
change the settings of selected function is signaled by lighting up the [ALARM] LED for the
partition II and the [TROUBLE] LED. For multi-stage functions on the LEDs designated
[ARMED] and [ALARM] for the partition I and II, the next stage number is shown in binary mode.
The user function menu is dynamic and changes depending on the user's authority level.
Some functions are only available to the service, and some to the administrator only. The
LCD keypad does not display the names of functions which are not available. An attempt to
call up the number of function which is not available will be signaled by two long beeps, and
the keypad will remain in the recently called submenu. In such a situation, by pressing the
key you will enter the first available function from the given submenu. Therefore, pay
special attention to the keypad audible signals during the programming.
If a parameter value you have entered during programming is too high, press the key
and the keypad will display the maximum permissible value and will remain in the function
waiting until the parameter is changed or re-confirmed. If, for whatever reason, the settings of
the given function cannot be changed, the control panel will signal it by two long beeps and
return to the basic mode.
Programming by means of the LCD keypad is easier, because of the display and the
capability of text presentation. The arrow keys enable a function to be selected from the list.
When you navigate through the user function menu, you can see a cursor on the left-hand
side of the display, which changes, depending on the indicated menu item:
- indicates submenu name;
- indicates function name.
Having entered a submenu, you will open a next selection list, while having entered
a function, you will be able to change its settings.
or - scroll through list
or - enter submenu or function
or - exit function without changing the settings
- confirm the changes and exit the function
The way of changing the settings is described further in this manual. After exiting
the function, the keypad returns to its basic mode. To call up a next function, you must
reenter the CODE and confirm it with the key.
If, having entered the function, the user will make no change or will make a change, but will not
confirm it, the keypad will return to the basic mode after 2 minutes (without saving any changes).
Shown below is a table with function numbers, function names in the LCD keypad, and
a short description. The # character at the function number means that after selection of the
function number you must press the key to start the function or enter the settings
change menu.
