8- CARDIO IIé programming
Once CARDIO and all its peripheral units installed, it is time to proceed with the programming. Go through
the following pages to set-up the system configuration. Please note that it is important to perform a good
programming to ensure proper functioning of CARDIO and its peripherals.
NOTE:For any trouble or problem, please refer to the troubleshooting section at the end of this manual.

Advance configuration
7
Advance configuration
The installer (advanced user) code gives access to a broader array of configuring data. For configuring
functions available to any user, please refer to the CARDIO 2é User’s Guide. See below all functions
available to the installer (advanced user) to configure the system. The first pages of functions are also
available to entry level users, albeit sometimes in a shorter form (codes, delays)
The advanced user menu is also available from the programming screen after entering the installer code
(the default installer code is 00000)
From the programming menu press
The following screen appears:
Go to CODES to modify the installer code.

Advance configuration

Zones types
CARDIO offers 16 programmable security inputs of 9 different types.
•Delay: relevant to detectors associated with an entry delay (door, etc.)
•Instant/delay (follower): relevant to detectors which can be triggered after a delay. For instance, the
front door has a contact and a motion detector has been installed in the lobby and set up with “instant
delay”. If someone enters through the door (which is the normal way to enter a house), both the
contact and the motion detector will wait until the delay has expired before sending out an emergency.
In the case someone enters the house through a window (which is not the normal way to enter a
house), the door contact will not be triggered but the motion detector will. In this case, there is no
delay attached to it and the system will send out an emergency call instantaneously.
•Instant: there will be no time delay when a detector is triggered and an alarm will be sent out
immediately.
•24hrs : (tamper) when a detector has to be armed continuously (24h/day) and cannot be armed or
disarmed from the screen or digital keys.
•Interior: once again, we will use our previous example with a contact and a motion detector
associated with the “interior” status in this case. If someone inside the house turns the security ON,
the system will go through the exit delay before arming the security. If the person does not exit the
house before the end of the delay, the door contact will be armed but not the motion detector. This
means that this person will be able to stay in the house while protected from the outside (with the door
contact).
•Inactive: when a zone is entered as inactive, it is inactive for security purposes only but can be used
for reaction (occupancy) purposes (see User’s Guide).
•Fire: to declare a fire zone.
•Medical: to declare a medical zone.
•Panic: to declare a panic zone.
For each zone, choose from: EOL (end of line resistor), NO (normally open) and NC (normally close).
When there is no end-of-line resistor installed, it is mandatory to declare either NO or NC.
For each zone, choose from 1 (Yes/No) can activate the siren or not 2 (Yes/No) can be bypassed or not.
Zones declared as panic, 24hrs, fire and medical cannot be bypassed, whatever data entered in the
bypass column (2).

Advance configuration
9
Delay
Enter the maximum loop opening delay before an alarm is triggered. Values can run from 50 ms to 990
ms with increments of 10 ms.
SOS
•SOS hold up(yes/no): whether the siren is activated with the SOS hold up button
•SOS fire (yes/no): whether the siren is activated with the SOS fire button
•SOS medical (yes/no): whether the siren is activated with the SOS medical button
•Active (yes/no): to momentarily disable each of these SOS functions. When entering no, this SOS
function will no longer be active from the screen.

Advance configuration
10
Sun
•Daylight saving (yes/no): to let the system automatically switch from Standard time to Daylight
saving time (and reverse) at appropriate dates.
•Longitude (+/- 0..180): the distance east (-) or west (+) measured in degrees/minutes from the
meridian of Greenwich.
•Latitude (+/-0..90): the distance north (+) or south (-) measured in degrees/minutes from the equator.
NOTE:CARDIO can control lights or outlets according to sunrise and sunset. Sunrise and sunset times
are displayed on screen along with date and time. Sunrise and sunset times vary according to the
location on earth. Therefore, for the time to be accurate, it is important to enter longitude and latitude data
corresponding to the exact location of the system.
•Time zone (+/-hrs Standard time): from the meridian of Greenwich/GMT. Locations east of the
meridian of Greenwich should be entered with a positive sign while locations west of the meridian of
Greenwich should be entered with a negative sign (see below for American time zones/standard
time):
Canada (Quebec) = +5hrs
Western Europe = +1hrs
•Sunrise offset (+/-min): to fine-tune sunrise time according to the customer’s needs. For example,
official sunrise time at a particular date is 7am upon longitude and latitude data but for particular
reasons the user feels that this time is not appropriate (it is still too dark for example). Therefore, there
is a way to adjust sunrise time (+/- 0..99 minutes): entering +20 will move the sunrise time to 7:20 am.
•Sunset offset (+/- min): to fine-tune sunset time (see sunrise offset for details) Sunrise/sunset times
resulting from the above inputs will be appearing in the main screen in alternate with the date and
time.

Advance configuration
11
Monitoring
•Client code: up to 2 client codes
•Monitoring phone number: up to 2 different phone numbers.
•Protocol: 2 protocols to choose from: SESCOA FAST (20pps) for fast transmission or ADEMCO
SLOW (10pps) for slow transmission. Format can be either 3/1, 3/2 or 4/1.
Zone report. codes
•Alarm/restore: the first column is used to enter alarm codes while the second column is used to enter
restore codes. Check with the monitoring station for specific values of these alarm/restore codes.

Advance configuration
12
System rep. Codes.
•Restore: restore codes are given by the monitoring station for each type of alarm. For other codes
and test time, check with the monitoring station.
Temperature
NOTE: Note that temperature settings below and on the following pages refer to CARDIO’s built-in
thermostat only.
CARDIO is also compatible with RCS (ZNCR controller) and Aprilair (Enerzone) products for HVAC
zoning. For technical information on these thermostats and their controllers, please refer to their
respective manufacturer.
ATTENTION!: Installers and users must know the functioning of heating/cooling systems.
Furthermore, CARDIO will never make up for any shortcoming of a heating/cooling system.
•Temperature unit: choose from degree Celsius or Fahrenheit.

Advance configuration
13
•Temperature offset: because of the particular location of the touch panel, the temperature at the
thermostat may vary from the average zone temperature. Therefore it is possible to adjust the reading
displayed on screen (or on the phone). The maximum temperature compensation is +/- 9.9 degrees
Celsius or Fahrenheit.
Ex: a thermostat has been installed in a central location near the kitchen. With no compensation, the
temperature reading (the exact temperature) at this location is 70F while the average temperature in the
dining room and the living room is 72F. If the temperature the user wants to read and monitor (schedules,
scenes, etc.) is the temperature in the living room, just enter +2. Therefore, the screen will display 72
instead of 70.
ATTENTION!: the temperature control performed by CARDIO is based on the temperature
offset. Therefore it is very important to set this parameter correctly.
•Hysteresis: used mainly with heating/cooling system based on pulsed air. Say that the screen is
located in a central location but near a heating/cooling bay. With no adjustment, the temperature read
at the screen will always get to the desired temperature much before the average temperature in the
room. Then, the heating/cooling system would always be turned ON/OFF (cycling) on a very short
time basis before the average room temperature is reached.
Adjusting the system gives more inertia to the temperature control. Maximal temperature adjustment
goes from +/-0.1 degree Celsius or Fahrenheit to +/- 42 2.9 degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit. Temperature
readings on screen will always be the exact temperature as read by the thermostat. Then, with a 2F
adjustment, temperature readings will go to 74F before the system turns off the heat if the desired
setting is 72F.
•CARDIO control type: select the type of heating (cooling) system to be controlled by CARDIO:
1. Central heating:
2. Heat pump RC:
3. HVAC:
4. Heating setback:
5. HVAC setback:
6. Heat pump RH:
7. Heat/cool:
8. None:
•Secondary controller: when available, choose from RCS or Statnet HVAC controllers. Also, enter
number of secondary zones to be controlled (1 with RCS and up to 4 with Statnet). Do not include
here the zone controlled by CARDIO’s thermostat.
•Zone name: press EDIT and enter name of zones (up to 5) to be controlled.
•Freeze detection (yes/no): is CARDIO to detect a minimum temperature and send out an alert? (see
temperature setting below)
•Overheat detection (yes/no): is CARDIO to detect a maximum temperature and send out an alert?
(see temperature setting below)
•Freeze temperature: enter the minimum temperature threshold.
•Overheat temperature: enter the maximum temperature threshold.
!WARNING!: DO NOT USE CARDIO FOR FREEZE PROTECTION. We strongly
recommend to install an auxiliary mechanical freeze protection for this purpose.

Advance configuration
14
Central heating system
Usually made up of a furnace and a two-wire thermostat (R and W). Installed in a central location, this
thermostat controls only one zone.
When multiple zones is declared a button named OTHERS appears on each screen. Press successively
on this button to have access to desired zones.
Heat pump system
CARDIO can control most heat pump heating systems. Still, CARDIO cannot control heat pumps with
thermostats managing more than compressor, valve, blower and auxiliary heating.

Advance configuration
15
HVAC System
Made up of two separated items, a furnace and a cooler, controlled by a single thermostat with two set
points. Four modes of operation (none, heating only, cooling only and automatic) and fan control
(automatic, manual). CARDIO in the HVAC settings can substitute this thermostat.
ATTENTION!: its is impossible to have both heating and cooling at the same time in the HVAC
mode. There is always a 2-degree minimal difference between the two settings and CARDIO will
adjust automatically if necessary.

Advance configuration
16
HVAC setback
Usually made up of two separate items: a heating system (furnace, baseboard heaters, etc.) and a
cooling system. Two types of control: heating and cooling with fan control when available.
The main difference between HVAC/setback and HVAC is that in the case of HVAC, heating and cooling
modes are integrated into one system while in the case of HVAC/setback, heating and cooling modes are
two separate entities.
ATTENTION!: it is impossible to have both heating and cooling at the same time in the HVAC
mode (there is a built-in 2-degree minimum difference) but this may occur with the HVAC/setback
mode because heating and cooling are two separate units. Therefore temperature and the
functioning of the two systems may overlap if the user does not pay attention to it.

Advance configuration
17
Heating setback
This is the type of control when the heating system is made of baseboard heaters only. Each zone (room)
has its own basic thermostat which will be set manually to the normal temperature (comfort temperature)
according to the user’s needs. CARDIO will take control of all zones when in economic mode only and the
temperature will be the one entered in the “desired temperature” setting in the screen below.
Example: normal/comfort
(adjusted manually on each local thermostats)
Living room 21
Bedroom 1 19
Bedroom 2 18
Desired temperature (economy): 16 (set on the screen in the upper right corner)
1. From the screen, when pressing “normal”, temperature will be set at the comfort temperature
adjusted manually by the user in each zone (21, 19 and 18 respectively in the living room,
bedroom 1 and bedroom 2 in the above example).
2. From the screen (or from the phone), when pressing “economy”, the temperature will be 16 in all
zones.
