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).
The declaration of conformity may be consulted at www.satel.eu/ce

4 User Manual SATEL
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.eu 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.

SATEL VERSA 5
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 device,
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.
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 magnetic field, it can emit a signal that enables the device to be identified. It
can have the form of proximity card, proximity tag, etc.
Protected area – the area supervised by detectors being part of the alarm system.

6 User Manual SATEL
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.
3. Quick arming is not available.

SATEL VERSA 7
4. Arming may be impossible, if one of the situations provided for in the standard occurs
(zone violation, trouble).
Impact of the standard requirements on the control panel operation is described in detail
below.
The consequence of the control panel being configured in accordance with requirements of
the standard is lowering the comfort of the control panel operation and unavailability of some
useful user functions, however the first and foremost intention of the standard is to impede
burglary.
6. Operating the Alarm System with Keypad
The control panel can interact with:
VERSA-LCD – LCD keypad;
VERSA-LCDM – LCD keypad;
VERSA-LED – LED 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).
The LCD keypad provides information by means of LCD display and LEDs, while the LED
keypad by means of LEDs only. With the LED keypad, both operating and programming of
the system are subject to various limitations, since some information cannot be conveyed by
LEDs. The scope of functions available to the user depends on his/her authority level.

SATEL VERSA 9
6.1 Display [LCD keypads]
The liquid crystal (2x16 character) display in the LCD keypad facilitates communication
between the user and the alarm system. It provides clear information about the system state
and presents functions which are available to the user. If required, the display can be back-
lighted.
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. Described below are all symbols according to their priority (the higher position = the
higher priority of the status presented by the given symbol):
– zone inhibited (not displayed when armed),
[blinking] – zone isolated (not displayed when armed),
– long zone violation (not displayed when armed),
– no zone violations (not displayed when armed),
– zone that first triggered alarm,
– zone tampered (2EOL type zone),
– zone violated,
– tamper memory (2EOL type zone),
– alarm memory,
– normal zone status.
Note: 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: section CHECKING
THE TROUBLES AND SYSTEM STATE).
Note: If the GRADE 2global option is enabled by the installer, the messages on alarms and
tampers are not displayed.

10 User Manual SATEL
6.2 LEDs presenting zone status [LED keypads]
Note: If the GRADE 2 global option is enabled by the installer, the LED keypad LEDs will
only present the zone status after the code is entered and confirmed by using the
key.
30 numbered LEDs in the LED keypad provide information about the status of system zones.
When the user functions are used, the LEDs provide some additional information, depending
on the selected function.
Presented graphically below is the way in which information about the zone status is provided
by means of LEDs. Each LED lighting scheme covers approx. 2-second period ( – LED is
OFF; – LED is ON). The higher position in the list means the higher priority of the
presented status:
– zone inhibited (not displayed when armed),
– zone isolated (not displayed when armed),
– long zone violation (not displayed when armed),
– no zone violations (not displayed when armed),
– zone that first triggered alarm,
– zone tampered (2EOL type zone),
– zone violated,
– tamper memory (2EOL type zone),
– alarm memory,
– normal zone status.
Additionally, the LEDs show countdown of entry delay and exit delay in partitions (the first
partition – LEDs 1-15; the second partition – LEDs 16-30). The LEDs which are ON (exit
delay) or blinking (entry delay) show how much time has left to the end of countdown.
A single LED means 2 seconds. If the countdown time exceeds 30 seconds, the LEDs will
only start going off, when the time left is shorter than 30 seconds.
6.3 LEDs presenting partition and system state
Two green LEDs (one for each partition). When the LEDs are ON, the partition is
armed. The LED is blinking during the exit delay countdown.
Note: Information about armed mode can be set to disappear after the time defined
by the installer has elapsed. To display the information about armed mode
again, enter the code and confirm it using the key.
Both LEDs are used during the process of "step-by-step" programming to present the
number of current step (see: "STEP BY STEP"PROGRAMMING METHOD).
Two red LEDs (one for each partition). When the LEDs are ON or blinking, it means
alarm or alarm memory, respectively. Presented graphically below is the way in which
the LEDs provide information on alarm/ alarm memory. Each LED lighting scheme
covers approx. 2-second period ( – 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,

SATEL VERSA 11
– fire alarm memory,
– burglary alarm memory,
– warning alarm memory,
– tamper alarm memory.
Both LEDs are used during the process of "step-by-step" programming to present the
number of current step (see: "STEP BY STEP"PROGRAMMING METHOD).
Yellow LED. Slow blinking of the LED means trouble or trouble memory. To find out
the cause of trouble, start the 7. SYSTEM STATE user function. The LED goes off when
in the armed mode.
On entering the user menu and in the service mode, the LED provides the following
additional information:
– LED blinking rapidly - navigation through the menu and submenus,
– LED ON - the function has been started.
Blue LED. The LED indicates that the service mode is active in the system. The LED
is lit on the keypad in which the service mode is running and the service function
menu is available. Blinking LED means that the service mode has been activated by
means of another keypad.
Note: If the GRADE 2 global option is enabled by installer:
– the LEDs provide information about alarms only after the code has been entered
and confirmed with 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.

Long beep every second – fire alarm.
Notes:
•Only installer selected events are signaled.
•Alarms are signaled during the KEYPAD'S ALARM TIME (programmed by the installer).
•If the global GRADE 2 option is enabled by installer, the keypad will not signal by sounds
any new troubles and alarms.
6.6 Codes
The control panel can be operated from the keypad after entering a code (only a few
functions can be run without the code). By default, the following codes are pre-programmed
in the control panel:
user 30 code: 1111
service code: 12345
The default codes enable individual codes to be assigned to the people who are to use the
alarm system (see section USERS p. 22). For security reasons, different people should not
share the same code. The control panel supports codes of 4 to 8 characters, but the installer
can determine what should be the minimum code length.
Note: The default codes should be changed as soon as possible (see section CHANGE OWN
CODE p. 22).
6.7 Arming
The user must have the ARMING right.
It is possible to arm both partitions or each partition separately. It is also possible to toggle
between the armed modes, i.e. the user does not have to disarm the partition to arm it in
another mode. If an alarm is signaled, arming will result in clearing the alarm (but this does
not apply to the quick arming feature).

14 User Manual SATEL
Notes:
•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.
6.7.1 Arming without partition selection
Enter the code, and then press the key, as required:
or - to arm in full mode;
- to arm in day mode;
- to arm in night mode.
Based on the user data, the control panel will define the partitions which are to be armed.
Start of the arming procedure should be signaled by 3 short beeps.
Note: Depending on the current partition status, pressing the key after the code has
been entered may also result in disarming or alarm clearing, hence it is recommended
to use the key for full arming.
6.7.2 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.
Start of the arming procedure should be signaled by 3 short beeps.
Note: The above described method of arming can be used for keypads in which quick
arming is not allowed for by the installer, and in some other situations, when the quick
arming is not possible.
6.7.3 Quick arming
If the installer has allowed for the quick arming by means of a selected keypad, the arming is
possible without entering any 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). Start of the arming procedure should be signaled by 3 short beeps.
Notes:
•The quick arming allows for the armed mode toggling from the night mode to the full
mode, and from the day mode to the full mode. In every other case, the procedure
described in section ARMING THE SELECTED PARTITION will apply.
•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.

SATEL VERSA 15
6.7.4 Arming without delay
The arming without delay means that the delayed zones will act as the instant ones (there will
be no exit or entry delay). To arm without delay, the key corresponding to the selected
arming mode ( , or ) should be pressed and hold for approx. 3 seconds.
6.7.5 Arming under duress
In the event of acting under duress, you can arm the system by one of the aforementioned
methods, but you must use a special duress code, instead of the normal user code. Using the
DURESS code will trigger a silent alarm, which is signaled in no way whatsoever, but the
alarm code will be sent to the monitoring station.
6.7.6 Information about bypassed zones before arming
The installer can program control panel so that in the event of arming by means of the LCD
keypad the users having the INSPECTION right can get information about bypassed zones in
the partition which is to be armed. The information on bypassed zones will not be displayed
in case of the quick arming. The contents of displayed message depends on whether the
user has the ZONE INHIBITION right:
"Bypassed zones 1=Arm 4=Bypasses" – the message is displayed when the user has the
ZONE INHIBITION right. The user can:
– press the key to cancel the arming;
– press the key to proceed with the arming;
– press the key to start the INHIBIT user function (see: ZONE INHIBITING).
"Bypassed zones 1=Arm" – the message is displayed when the user does not have the
ZONE INHIBITION right. The user can:
– press the key to cancel the arming;
– press the key to proceed with the arming;
6.7.7 Denial of arming and forced arming
The installer can program the control panel so that the keypad can signal with one long beep
the denial of arming when:
– 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.
The user who uses the LCD keypad and has the INSPECTION right will be informed about the
cause of the denial of arming – the LED will go on and a suitable message will be
displayed (the order of message description corresponds to their priority):
"Zone [zone number] violat." – a zone that must not be violated during arming (zone with
the PRIORITY option enabled) is violated. If several such zones are violated, the arrow is
flashing on the right side, in the bottom line of the display. The list of violated zones can be
scrolled through by means of the key (down) and the key (up). The user can:
– press the key to cancel the arming;
– press the key to inhibit the violated zone (he must have the ZONE INHIBITION right).
A message will be displayed, prompting the user to confirm the command to inhibit the
zone (pressing the key will inhibit the zone; pressing the key will cancel the
zone inhibition).
Note: If a zone with the PRIORITY option enabled is violated, you must either remove the
cause of the zone violation, or to inhibit the zone for the arming to be possible.

16 User Manual SATEL
"Violated zones 1=Ok 2=Check" – a warning that an alarm zone is violated in the partition,
beyond the exit route. The user can:
– press the key to cancel the arming;
– press the key to force the arming – the arming procedure can be initiated despite
the violated zones;
– press the key to check which zone is violated. If, after information on the violated
zone is displayed, the arrow is flashing in the lower line of the display, this means that
several zones are violated. You can scroll through the list of violated zones by using the
keys (down) and (up). If the user has the ZONE INHIBITION right, it is possible
to inhibit the violated zone by pressing the key. A message will be displayed
prompting the user to confirm the command to inhibit the zone (press the key to
inhibit the zone; press the key to go back to the list of violated zones without
inhibiting the zone).
"Troubles 1=Ok 2=Check" – a warning that there is a trouble in the system. The user can:
– press the key to cancel the arming;
– press the key to force the arming – the arming procedure can be initiated despite
the trouble;
– press the key to view the trouble log – the 7. SYSTEM STATE user function will start
(see: CHECKING TROUBLES AND SYSTEM STATE).
Note: Information on the forced arming is written into the event log.
The users who do not have the INSPECTION right and the users using the LED keypad are not
informed about the causes of the denial of arming.
6.7.8 Failure of arming procedure
The alarm system can be configured by the installer so that the arming procedure may fail
even if it has been started (it does not apply to the quick arming procedure). The arming will
fail, if at moment of completion of the exit delay countdown:
– a zone with enabled PRIORITY option or an alarm zone beyond the exit route is violated
in the partition,
– there is a trouble in the system.
Note: In the event of forced arming the control panel will ignore violations and troubles
reported before the moment of starting the arming procedure.
6.8 Disarming and/or alarm clearing
The user must have the DISARMING and ALARM CLEARING rights.
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.
Note: In order to clear the alarm without disarming the partition, arm again the partition in the
same mode (see: ARMING).
6.8.1 Disarming and/or alarm clearing without partition selection
Enter the code and then press the or key. Based on the user data, the control
panel will define the partitions which are to be disarmed and/or where alarm is to be cleared.
The disarming and/or alarm clearing should be confirmed by 3 short beeps.

SATEL VERSA 17
Note: If no partition is armed or reporting alarm, you can enter the code and press the
key to start the arming procedure. It is recommended to use the key for
disarming/alarm clearing.
6.8.2 Disarming and/or 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. Disarming and/or alarm clearing in the selected partition
should be confirmed by 3 short beeps.
6.8.3 Disarming and/or alarm clearing under duress
In the event of acting under duress, you can disarm the system and/or clear the alarm by one
of the aforementioned methods, but you must use a special duress code, instead of the
normal user code. Using the DURESS code will trigger a silent alarm, which is signaled in
now way whatsoever, but the alarm code will be sent to the monitoring station.
6.8.4 Viewing the zones which triggered alarm
Immediately after the alarm is cleared you can check which zones caused the alarm (this
does not apply to the control panel TMP zone).
In the LCD keypad, enter the code first, and then press the key. The "View cleared
zones? 1=Yes" message will appear on the display. Press the key to display a list of
zones which triggered the alarm. After having viewed the list, press the key to display
the user menu. The message that prompts to view the list of zones which triggered the alarm
will be displayed until viewing the list or arming.
In the LED keypad, you must first enter the code, and then press successively the
keys (the function is only available until viewing the list or arming). A blinking
LED means that alarm was triggered by the zone with the number corresponding to the LED
number.
6.9 Quick inspection of partition status
If such an option is allowed for by the installer, press and hold down the key for
approx. 3 seconds to display information on the partition status (if and what armed mode is
activated). When the information on partition status is displayed, the LED is lit in the
keypad.
The LCD keypad provides information on the partition status by means of the display. The
message on the status of first partition is displayed in the upper line, and the message on the
status of second partition – in the lower line.
In the LED keypad, information on the partition status is provided by means of LEDs 1-3
(partition 1 status) and LEDs 16-18 (partition 2 status):
– none of the LEDs is ON – partition is disarmed;
– LED 1 is ON – full armed mode in partition 1;
– LED 2 is ON – night armed mode in partition 1;
– LED 3 is ON – day armed mode in partition 1;
– LED 16 is ON – full armed mode in partition 2;
– LED 17 is ON – night armed mode in partition 2;
– LED 18 is ON – day armed mode in partition 2.
