Safety precautions
Read this manual carefully before using the control panel.
The „FLEXi“ SP3 control panel is an electrical device, which means it must be installed and serviced only by qualified
personnel following the instructions in this document and applicable regulations for installing electrical equipment.
Power to the panel must be switched off during installation!
The control panel must be installed in a limited access location inside the premises and maintaining a safe distance from
sensitive electronic equipment. The panel is not resistant to vibrations, other mechanical effects, humidity and aggressive
chemical environments. The control panel complies with the demands applicable to Class II environmental specification of the
EN 50131 standard.
The casings, transformers, batteries and programming equipment used must meet the safety requirements of
the EN 60950 standard.
The device is powered from a 230 V voltage 50 Hz frequency power grid through a Class II step-down
transformer that reduces the voltage to 16 – 18 V or from a 16 – 24 V DC power supply. A 12 V battery with at
least 7 Ah capacity is used as a backup power supply. The current consumption depends on the power of the
connected external devices.
A two-pole automatic safety switch must be installed in the power supply circuit for protection. The gap
between switch off contacts must be at least 3mm. The safety switch must be installed in a location known to
the specialists servicing the control panel.

Security control panel
„FLEXi“
SP3
Description
The „FLEXi“ SP3 control panel is a processor part of intrusion and fire alarm system. It comes with a built-in WiFi module and
2G/4G cellular modem. The „FLEXi“ SP3 allows grouping of 32 wired and wireless zones into an 8 partition system. Users can
switch protection modes of different areas of the premises remotely and with ease (with mobile app Protegus, SMS or phone
call) or with devices that support personal identification (wired and wireless keypads, electronic keys, RFID cards, etc.). Any
triggered system event is reported to the central monitoring station (CMS) and to Protegus cloud via WiFi and (or) via cellular
network if a SIM card is inserted.
When it’s recommended to choose the „FLEXi“ SP3 control panel?
- For securing small or medium sized premises which will be monitored by a security company. The „FLEXi“ SP3 supports
both wired and wireless zones. The panel can provide remote control and system information to both end-users and
the security company.
- As a replacement for existing intrusion alarm panel. „FLEXi“ SP3 allows to set a different resistor value to the type used
with the old alarm panel. This saves a lot of time during installation, as then there is no need to change resistors in each
sensor.
- When the alarm system needs to perform more functions than just protection of the premises. For example: opening
the doors and gates, watering the lawn, lighting, heating, ventilation, cooling, controlling as well as many other
automatic start and stop functions.
Features
Reporting to the security company‘s central monitoring
station (CMS):
 Event reporting either via the built-in WiFi module or
cellular 2G/4G modem.
 Additional modules to send reports via Ethernet or
VHF/UHF radio waves with chosen priority.
 Any CMS can receive reports, as long as they have
TRIKDIS software/IP receiver or any other
manufacturer’s IP receiver supporting SIA DC-09 IP
protocol.
 Design based on two decades of experience in
transmitting reports to main and backup central
monitoring station receivers, which allows security
companies to provide the highest level of protection to
premises
 A setting for necessity to send to CMS, to mandatorily send reports to CMS first, and only then to customers.
 Possibility to send event reports to CMS of two different security companies.
 Multitude number of message transmission channels and multiple transmission priority settings.
Reporting to user:
 Via Protegus mobile app, which gives warnings about alarm system events using push and special sound notifications.
 Event reporting via SMS messages to 8 cellular numbers.
 Reporting about events using pre-recorded voice notifications (up to 8 cellular numbers).
 Remote control of selected premises’ protection mode (Arm/Disarm/Stay/Sleep).
 Remote control of connected devices (lighting system, automatic gates, ventilation, heating, watering systems, etc.).
 Remote temperature measuring.
Inputs and outputs:
 10 I/O terminals, each one can be set as an input (IN) or output (OUT). Input (IN) types: ATZ, EOL, NC, NO. Different
parameters of resistors can be used in EOL and ATZ type circuits. The number of inputs IN can be expanded to 32 by
using keypads, iO-8 and iO-WL expander modules.
 The board has 2 dedicated outputs: the bell and the LED. The bell is to control the siren, and the LED is to control
indicator lights. The number of outputs can be expanded to 16 by using iO-8 and iO-WL expander modules.

 Seven output operational settings. Each output can be assigned with an operational logic, a preset operation schedule
or qualities, for example, thermostat mode.
 One-wire data bus (“1-Wire”) is designated to connect temperature sensors (up to 8), a temperature and humidity
sensor (1) or a key fob (“iButton”) reader.
 The GRN-YEL data bus is designated to connect 8 keypads of the same type.
 The RS485 data bus connects iO series expander modules: RF-SH radio wave wireless sensor transceiver, E485 Ethernet
module, T16 VHF or UHF radio wave transmitter.
Control of alarm system
 4-digit long control codes (40 in total), which may be used as a coercion code as well. In such scenario, entering the user
code will disarm the alarm, yet a special report will be sent to the CMS indicating that the alarm was disarmed as a result
of coercion.
 Control using keypads: Protegus SK232LED; Paradox K636, K10H(V) K32+LED, K32LED, K35, TM50, TM70; Crow keypad
CR16, CR-LCD; CZ-Dallas electronic (“iButton”) key reader; TM17 electronic key reader, RFID reader (Wiegand 26/34).
 Remote control via Protegus mobile app, phone call or SMS.
Simple installation:
 Multiple sizes of „FLEXi“ SP3 mounting kits that include a decorative white metal housing with a built-in step-down
transformer or impulse power supply.
 Default „FLEXi“ SP3 operational settings are based on many years of experience. That allows to install the system in 7
out of 10 small and medium-sized premises without the need to change the default settings.
 The „FLEXi“ SP3 control panel allows to replace the previous panel without changing the resistors in each wired sensor.
 Settings can be saved as a file to be used later.
 Device configuration via USB cable or remotely by using TrikdisConfig software.

Powering the security control panel
The control panel and the entire alarm system can be powered either from an alternating or a direct current source. In both
cases, a backup power supply – a 12 V battery – must be connected to the system to ensure the supply of power is
uninterrupted. To meet the demands of the EN50131 standard, the backup battery must be able to work for 12 hours for
security Grade II or 60 hours for security Grade III after losing power from the main power supply. Take into account the total
current consumption of the additional connected modules, the current consumption of individual modules is listed in chapter
1.2 “List of compatible modules”.
If there are problems with powering the system from the main power supply, an AC Fault event report will be generated and
the panel will automatically switch to the backup 12 V battery. If the battery’s voltage falls to 11,5 V, a Low Battery event report
will be generated. The battery will be disconnected if the voltage falls bellow 9,5 V. If AC network voltage is restored, an AC

a. User access. The alarm system can be controlled remotely (via phone call and (or) SMS messages) by users whose phone
numbers are entered into the User list. See chapter 5.4 ““Users & Reporting” window” on how to enter phone numbers.
b. Control via phone call. Phone calls allow not only to arm or disarm all or part of the security system, but also to control
(turn on or off) equipment connected to PGM outputs. See chapter 4.4 “Control via phone call” on what parameters to
change to allow phone calls to modify the state of a selected PGM output that has an equipment control circuit
connected to it.
c. Control via SMS messages. With SMS messages, it is possible to change some of the control panel’s operational
parameters, arm or disarm all or part of the premises, control (turn on or off) equipment connected to the PGM outputs.
See the list of SMS commands on chapter 4.3 “Configuration and control via SMS messages”.
5. Additionally:
a. Changing control codes. We recommend changing the panel’s default alarm control and configuration codes to
something only You know.
 The Master user code can be changed in the branch Users & Reporting of the program menu.
 The remote SMS control code can be changed in the System Options window of the program menu, in the
SMS Password field of the Access section.
 Access codes for connecting with TrikdisConfig can be changed in the Access section of the System Options branch
of the program menu.
There are 10 terminals IO1–IO10 (inputs) on the control panel board for connecting sensor circuits. The number of inputs can
be expanded to 32 using input expanders (iO, iO8, iO-WL, RF-SH). Any terminal can be set as an input and assigned zone
attributes: circuit type (NO, NC, EOL, EOL_T, ATZ, ATZ_T); sensitivity to temporary circuit events; zone function (Delay, Instant,
Instant Stay, Interior, Interior Stay, Fire, Keyswitch, 24_hour, Silent, Silent 24h), see chapter 5.7 ““Zones” window”.

To connect a smoke detector circuit to a selected input, the input must be assigned the Fire zone function (see chapter 5.7
““Zones” window”).
To connect a four-wire smoke detector circuit to a selected PGM output, the Fire Sensor Reset function must be assigned to
the output (see chapter 5.8 ““PGM” window””).

The diagram shows the connection and settings of the MR100 outdoor siren. If the control panel will use a different method
for monitoring the EOL (factory setting is 2.2 kOhm EOL) of the siren tamper (SAB terminals) circuit, it is necessary to close the
JPS1 contacts and connect a resistor of the corresponding rating in series to the tamper circuit. The 24_hours zone type is
factory set for IO9 input.
Up to 8 devices can be connected to the keypad data bus. The type of the connected keypad must be specified using
TrikdisConfig software (see chapter 5.5 ““Modules” window”). The control panel will automatically recognize and link the
connected devices.

Temperature sensors should be connected according to the
given schematic. Maxim®/Dallas® DS18S20, DS18B20
temperature sensors (up to 8) can be connected to the
„FLEXi“ SP3 security control panel.
If a wire longer than 0,5 meters is used to connect a
temperature sensor, we recommend using twisted pair
cable (UTP4x2x0,5 or STP4x2x0,5).
The +5V terminal on the board is for supplying devices connected to the 1-Wire data bus with 5 V DC voltage. The maximum
output current is 0,2 A. The output is protected from overload. If the maximum allowed current is exceeded, the power will
automatically be switched off. The control panel automatically recognizes and links connected devices.
Using the relay terminals, it is possible
to remotely control (turn on/off)
various electrical devices. The panel’s
universal I/O terminal must be
configured as an output (OUT) and
must have the definition Remote
control assigned.
The E485 module allows the control panel to send and
receive control commands using a wired internet
connection. If an E485 module is connected to the control
panel, reports to the CMS and to Protegus will be sent using
wired internet and mobile internet will not be used. If wired
internet connectivity is lost, mobile internet will be used for
sending reports to the CMS. If wired internet connectivity is
restored, the control panel will automatically stop using
mobile internet and will switch to communicating with CMS
and Protegus mobile app using the E485, i.e. wired internet.
See chapter 5.3 ““Reporting to CMS” window” on how to choose connectivity priority (GPRS, LAN, WiFi). The „FLEXi“ SP3’s
configuarion for the E485 Ethernet module is described in chapter 5.5. ““Modules” window”.
If the E485 is connected, a SIM card is not necessary for the control panel.
With the RF-SH it is possible to connect 64 wireless remote controls, 16
wireless sirens, 32 wireless sensors, 8 wireless keypads to the security
system.
The „FLEXi“ SP3 ’s configuration for expander modules is described in
chapter 5.5 ““Modules” window”.
If the security control panel „FLEXi“ SP3 needs to have more inputs IN or outputs OUT, connect a wired or wireless TRIKDIS
iO series input and output expander. The „FLEXi“ SP3 ’s configuration for expander modules is described in
chapter 5.5 ““Modules” window”.
