By-alarm Plus
Procedure for creating and managing a new project
Choose the panel type (25, 65 or 125 zones)
Set the following parameters:
• Project name;
• Connection type: refer to the previous “Transferring the software to the panel” chapter;
• PIN for connecting to the board: enter the installer’s code.
N.B. The default installer’s PIN is “9999” when accessing the system for the first time (i.e. until it is changed)
• Serial number of the board (given on the label with QRCode in the packaging).
N.B. A panel can only be read/written if the QR code entered in the software matches the QR code in the panel.
In fact, the panel QR code is used as an integral part of some encryption algorithms.

8
By-alarm Plus
4.2 Check connection
This function checks that the board can be connected. The check confirms that the serial number is valid; a message will inform the installer if this check fails during the
connection procedure.
Error cause Message
Wrong COM Physical error
Wrong PIN Unrecognised user
Wrong IP/Port Unable to establish a connection with the panel
4.3 Managing an existing project
Select “Open” from the “File” menu to recall any system project created previously.

4.4 Replacing a panel
Caution: This operation fully recovers operation of a damaged panel. However, it CANNOT recover any changes users may have made to the PINs and keys since
the last time the damaged panel was read with the software (backup of the programming, PINs and keys). The list of projects in the software always contains the
date and time of the last save.
The procedure is as follows:
a. Replace the panel with a new one of the SAME SIZE
b. Restore the factory data in the panel (if the panel is not brand new)
c. Enrol at least one keyboard, log in as user 1 (default PIN 0001) and enable “Enable writing PINs/KEYS from SW”
d. From the By-alarm Plus Manager software on the PC, open the saved project programming that you want to transfer to the new panel
e. View the CONNECTION option in the software, activate QR code editing (in BLUE), enter the QR code of the new panel and confirm (in GREEN).
e. The software will ask whether you are “Replacing a panel” or “Installing a new system”; select “Replacing a panel”
f. Press the “Write” key to write to the panel
g. Writing PINs/KEYS is AUTOMATICALLY DISABLED when the software has finished writing

4.5 Creating a project from a custom template
a. Starting from a software project with the panel size you want for the new project to be created, press “Save as template”.
The template created will contain the structure of the original project, i.e. terminals and their programming, user notifications, users and their programming (but with
default PINs, without keys enrolled and without sensitive information), wired and radio devices and their programming (but with default QR codes - all 0s for the
panel part) and all other general panel programming.
b. Create a new project, selecting the custom template created in the previous step as the starting point.
• ALWAYS assign the QR code of the panel to be installed (of the right size).
• ALWAYS replace all QR codes with those of the devices to be installed.
• Finally, complete and/or change the programming as required for the specific installation site.

5. Design guide
5.1 Introduction
When choosing the installation method, refer to chapter 2 “How to create a system” in the By-alarm Plus Installation Manual, which illustrates the available procedures:
• 2.1 Off-line installation;
• 2.2 Installation on-site and addressing wired and radio peripherals/devices using the By-alarm Plus manager software;
• 2.3 Installation on-site and addressing wired peripherals without software.
5.2 Configuring via system software
After creating the project, the installer has to define a range of information.
The installer can get an overview of the current configuration in the “Design” section.
The sequence of operations to perform in order to configure the system for the first is suggested below.
1. Panel: define the languages included, communication attributes, intrusion, regulations. For full details, see chapter 8 in this manual.
2. Peripherals: define the devices (keyboards, expansions, readers, etc.), description, attributes. For full details, see chapter 12 in this manual.
3. Partitions: define the partitions, keyboard associations (see par. 12.2 in this manual) and readers (see par. 12.3 in this manual) and switch-on options. For full details,
see para. 8.2 in this manual.
4. Zones: define the zones, description, peripheral types. For full details, see para. 9.1 in this manual.
5. Outputs: define the outputs, description, peripheral types. For full details, see para. 9.2 in this manual.
6. Profiles: define the user profiles for the system, description, attributes. For full details, see para. 10.1 in this manual.
7. User: define the users, description, associated profile, language, attributes. For full details, see para. 10.2 in this manual.
After setting all the system parameters, press Save followed by Write to transfer all the information to the panel. The system has now been configured with the By-alarm
Manager Plus software.

When the system is fully operational, the notifications sent by the panel via the GSM/LTE dialer will consist of several concatenated voice files in order to provide
information on the burglar alarm system status on a remote device.
Pressing the key opens a wizard that:
1. Uses a "natural text to speech” engine to generate all the audio files with the voice call notifications in the selected panel language, for both common texts and
descriptions of its characteristics (zones, partitions, users, etc.). An icon displays date of the last generation performed.
Note: the audio files must be regenerated and sent to the panel whenever a characteristic is added or a description is changed.
2. Send the most recent set of audio files generated to the panel

7. Design
This is the initial screen for designing a project, and serves to:
• Add or delete BUS peripherals in the WIRED DEVICES box (this is also possible from the DEVICES ON BUS menu) and radio devices in the RADIO DEVICES box (this
is also possible from the RADIO DEVICES menu).
To add a peripheral, click the peripheral type you want to add (e.g. click the key to display the peripheral).
Double-click the peripheral to open its page directly and set its parameters (this page and the parameters for each peripheral are illustrated in the DEVICES ON BUS and
RADIO DEVICES paragraphs).
• Configure the input/output terminals and access their programming directly (this is also possible from the TERMINALS menu). For peripherals that have terminals, you
can set the type.
Double-click the terminal to open its page directly and set its parameters (this page and the parameters for each peripheral are illustrated in the TERMINALSparagraph).
• View how many terminals have been used compared to those available; the box is updated automatically as the terminals are added/removed.
• Use the RADIO DEVICES box to add or remove radio devices; click the key to open the window in which you can enrol a new radio device.
• Use the Model menu to select which of the displayed devices you want to enrol.
You then have to enter the alphanumeric code of the QR code on each device in the Serial box; you can enter the device name in the DESCRIPTION box.
Then press the key to add the device to the system.
Consider that the radio devices are managed as BUS peripherals (e.g. expansions); so add the device and then “connect” the corresponding signals you want to use. For
example, the magnetic contact art. 03833 is a device that can handle 3 distinct signals: magnetic reeds and terminals T1 and T2. For each device, the available signals/
terminals are identified with icons (see the boxes):
- the signal is used/enabled
- the signal is NOT used
Some radio devices, such as the detector art. 03836, have a single signal; in that case, the signal is always enabled by default and CANNOT be disabled.
To enable/disable a signal on a radio device, right-click the / symbol and select the signal you want from those listed.
The zone or output enabled on the radio device will also be displayed in TERMINALS – Zones and TERMINALS – Outputs, where you can set its parameters.
All details are described in the RADIO DEVICES paragraph and in the manual for the radio interface art. 03831.

System
8. SYSTEM
This section consists of a number of general menus and parameters for the entire system. From here you can set the system options, define the partitions (and their param-
eters) to be used in the system, and the temporal exceptions.
8.1 SYSTEM – Panel
This is composed of four menus: GENERAL – COMMUNICATION – INTRUSION – REGULATION
8.1.1 SYSTEM – Panel – GENERAL
Panel Name is the name assigned by the installer.
The SERIAL is not editable because it contains the QR code, which is
unique for each panel.
The four languages can be set.
The date/time display format parameters can be set (the date and time
can be changed from the keyboard as described in the user manual or
in the MONITOR page of the software).
You can set the options for:
- the BUS Speed (default 125 kbps);
- reactivate outputs on impulsive activations: when enabled, for an out-
put already activated in PULSE mode by a programmed trigger, a
new trigger PULSE will restart its on time count from zero; otherwise
it will ignore the new trigger and continue counting the current on
time.
You can set the radio options for:
- Radio peripheral supervision time: this is the time used to check
whether a radio device has disappeared. If a radio device does not
communicate for longer than the programmed time, it will be notified
as disappeared in the panel. The regulations state the following for
both wired and radio devices:
- for security grade 2, the supervision time cannot exceed 120 min-
utes;
- for security grade 3, the supervision time cannot exceed 100 sec-
onds.
The default supervision time in the software is 30 minutes for radio
devices, and can be set up to a maximum of 250 minutes.
The REFERENCE IMPEDANCES FOR THE SYSTEM can be set (de-
fault 3.3kΩ, 4.7 kΩ, and 15 kΩ). These are the values used whenever
adding a new wired zone, with reference to the balancing diagrams
in the figure below.
(N.B. The sabotage signal is wired to a terminal congured as TAMPER).
Caution: The impedances shown do not change the status threshold in wired zones already configured. They will only be consid-
ered to recalculate the thresholds when a balancing change is made in each zone.

System
8.1.2 SYSTEM – Panel – COMMUNICATION
Max number of voice recall:
this is the number of call attempts (with voice messages) to the telephone
numbers, after which the call is considered to have failed.
Call with voice recognition online:
This starts playing the voice message after recognising the voice online.
When this option is not enabled, the voice message is played immediately
after dialling the number.
NOTIFICATION DELAY
- Power failure notification delay
- Delay for notification of communication failures
- Delay for notification of other faults
The times are set in s and indicate for how long the failure must persists
before notification. It is a filter to prevent false notifications; for example,
if the power failure delay is set to 180 s, a power failure event notification
is sent if the mains voltage is missing continuously for longer than 180 s,
while no notification is sent if the mains voltage returns within 180 s.
AREA CODE
Delete digits at the top of the selection: this removes digits from the user’s
telephone number before dialling the call or sending a text message. The
number of digits to be removed is programmable.
Add digits at the top of the selection: this adds digits from the user’s tel-
ephone number before dialling the call or sending a text message. The
digits to be added are programmable.
Number of digits to delete or add at the top of the selection: when Delete digits at the top of the selection is enabled, this is the number of digits to be removed.
Digits to add at the top of the selection: when Add digits at the top of the selection is enabled, these are the digits that will be added.
8.1.3 SYSTEM – Panel – INTRUSION
Observation time to generate a confirmed alarm:
When there is intrusion/sabotage for a zone/peripheral in a partition, a
confirmed intrusion/sabotage event is generated if intrusion/sabotage
occurs for another zone/peripheral in the same partition within the set time
(in minutes).
Pre-alert time for auto-insertions:
When automatic time-based arming is programmed, this is the time
(in minutes) before arming the partitions at which the arming is notified
acoustically and on the keyboard displays. An extraordinary request can
be made to delay auto-arming.
Persistence time of sabotage in the control panel:
When the panel us subject to sabotage, this event persists for at least the
time set here. If the sabotage coondition remains after this time, it will not
be reset.
Maximum number of activations for sabotage in the control panel:
When set to “0”, the control panel sabotage event will be generated when-
ever it occurs.
When set to a number “n” other than “0”, the sabotage event is generated
“n” times and then no more. It is a filter that prevents continuous repetition
of sabotage events. A user reset will reset the counter.
User log time on keyboard:
This is the time (in s) for which the user login remains valid (after entering
a valid PIN) in order to use the keyboard without having to enter the PIN
again. Once this time lapses without pressing any key, the user will have to
enter the PIN again before accessing the keyboard.

18
By-alarm Plus
System
GENERIC OPTIONS
Arming a zone in a multi-area even with only one partition armed:
This is a system option that allows alarms to be generated by zone in multiple partitions when only one of them is armed. It is often described as partition OR.
When it is not selected, the alarm for a zone in multiple partitions can only be generated when all of its partitions are armed.
Treat antimask as broken:
Masking is normally considered to be sabotage. When this option is selected, a fault event is generated instead of sabotage.
See the disappearance as sabotage as well as a breakdown:
Disappearance of a peripheral is a fault. When this option is selected, a sabotage event is also generated.
In disarmed, no indoor siren for tampering:
If all partitions are disarmed, a sabotage/tampering event does not activate the “indoor siren” output.
Stop sirens when entering code:
All siren outputs are deactivated as soon as a valid PIN is recognised.
Stop calls to code entry:
All notifications are stopped as soon as a valid PIN is recognised.
Disarm partitions in alarm upon entering the code:
All partitions in the alarm state are disarmed as soon as a valid PIN is recognised.
System reset upon code entry:
A system reset is performed as soon as a valid PIN is recognised. The alarm and sabotage memories are erased (not faults); clearly the end result will depend on
the profile of the user performing the operation (partitions and profile options), and on the active regulation grade (see the REGULATION paragraph).
Activates alternative mode of the area status light signalling reader:
If this option is active, the reader LEDs do not show the partition states and remain off. They only turn on when a valid transponder key is brought close to select
the operation.
Exclude area also for sabotage:
If this option is active, disabling/isolating a zone disables both alarm and sabotage signalling. If the option is not active, disabling/isolating a zone enables sabotage
signalling only (not alarm).
8.1.4 SYSTEM – Panel – REGULATION
Section C (green) contains a drop-down menu to set the reg-
ulation with which you want to validate the system.
NONE:
The system does not require any grade of the EN50131
standard.
CEI EN 50131 – GRADE2:
CEI EN 50131 – GRADE3:
The system has to have security grade 2 or security grade 3.
This selection alone is not sufficient to guarantee the protec-
tion grade, but other specific settings are required for grade
2 and grade 3, as described below. Selecting grade 2 or 3
affects some functional behaviour of the panel as required for
the selected grade (e.g. for GRADE 3, the keyboard will not
display the partition arming status unless previously authenti-
cated with a user PIN).
The paragraph below provides detailed instructions for pro-
gramming the panel in accordance with the regulation.
8.1.4.1 Compliance with EN50131 standard grade 2 and grade 3
Follow the instructions below to ensure that the devices comply with the regulations in force.
DEVICE ANTI-SABOTAGE
The peripherals on the bus must have enabled the tamper-proof devices.
If possible, the devices listed below must have been installed inside the panel enclosures, or they must be equipped with a device to protect against open-
ing the casing (EN50131 grade 2) and against removal (EN50131 grade 3):
- Readers
- Expansions
- Dialer
- Radio receiver
All bus peripherals installed outside the panel enclosure must have the “no sabotage” attribute set to DISABLED

19
By-alarm Plus
System
BALANCED ZONES
The lines for intrusion detection zones must be balanced:
- for EN50131 grade 2, with two termination resistors (double balancing), or they must be balanced with a single termination resistor(balanced) and have
a device that ensures protection against opening the casing;
- for EN50131 grade 3, with three termination resistors (triple balancing) for grade 3 sensors with masking and fault function or, as for grade 2, with a
terminal to manage a sensor fault separately.
CONTROL ZONES
This type of zone cannot be used because it does not comply with EN50131 grade 2 and 3, except when connected to key devices with more than 10000
combinations.
TYPE OF ZONE
The zones that comply with EN50131 grade 2 and 3 are INSTANT, PATH, DELAYED (or variants thereof), ANTI-MASKING, TAMPER, FAULT (or variants
thereof).
The zones must be configured with SENSOR PARAMETERS - “Pulse duration” set to 400 ms (40 cs), and ALARM PARAMETERS - “Activation cycles”
set from 3 to 10.
If the zones are of the DELAYED type (or variants thereof), they must be configured with ALARM PARAMETERS - “Input time” set to no longer than 45 s.
SABOTAGE EVENTS
Sabotage events must activate acoustic signalling (siren) for at least 3 minutes.
The PANEL - INTRUSION - “Maximum number of activations for sabotage” must be set to 0 (OFF).
PIN
All PIN codes must be 6-digit.
AUTO-INSERTIONS
When using automatic arming, the auto-arming warning times must be at least 1 minute.
PROFILES AND USERS
For EN50131 grade 3, the installer can only disarm a zone or erase fault and sabotage events if enabled by a level 2 user. If an operational user other than
the installer is needed to perform these operations, at least one profile must be configured with “level 3” (mandatory), “Exclude zones” and/or “System
recovery” attributes ENABLED, and at least one user must have that profile in order to perform the operations (all or some, depending on the attributes
enabled in the profile) when enabled by a level 2 user from the corresponding keyboard menu (permissions).
REGULATION
The option PANEL - REGULATION - “Applied regulation” must be configured for the required grade, EN50131 grade 2 or grade 3. The panel will change
some functions to comply with the regulation (limiting the indications on the keyboard and readers for unauthenticated users, requiring the right user level
to erase fault and sabotage events, managing permissions for different user types for some operations).
MANDATORY OPTIONS
Some panel options must have a fixed configuration in order to comply with the regulation:
PANEL - COMMUNICATION: All notification delay options must be less than 1 minute.
PANEL - INTRUSION - GENERIC OPTIONS: The following options must remain disabled:
PANEL - INTRUSION - REGULATION: The following options must remain disabled:

8.2 SYSTEM – Partitions
This section serves to arm the partitions used and set all the parameters.
A single partition is enabled by default.
To add a partition, click the key and enter the ID and description.
After creating the partition, you can set the parameters described below.
Description of the partition
ATTRIBUTES
Erase memories upon insertion:
As soon as the partition is armed in any mode, the alarm/sabotage memories for the
partition are automatically erased (not faults). Clearly the end result will depend on the
profile of the user performing the operation (partitions and profile options), and on the
active regulation grade (see the REGULATION paragraph).
Clear phone queue on disarming:
The notification queue is cleared as soon as the partition is disarmed.
Disable keyboard pre-alarm:
The keyboard indicates when the partition input delay time is activated.
Minimum group of cross zones:
Number of zones that must be in the alarm state to actually activate the alarm. (*)
Enable the zone cross function:
The zone cross function (AND) is enabled for the partition: Two or more zones with the
Zone Cross function activated only generate an alarm if at least the Minimum group of
cross zones are actually in the alarm state within Max time between 2 cross zones (*).
Max time between 2 cross zones:
This is the time (in seconds) within which at least the Minimum group of cross zones are actually in the alarm state. (*)
(*) The cross zones (AND) and the conditions for generating the corresponding alarms constitute a precise function. Normally, when a zone enters the alarm state, it generates the corresponding
alarm event, which activates outputs, notifications, etc.
The zone cross function serves to define:
- a group of zones (united by the Zone Cross option); for example, 6 zones have this option
- the time Max time between 2 cross zones; for example, 40 seconds
- the number Minimum group of cross zones; for example, 3
In this case, if one (of the 6 zones) enters the alarm state, the zone alarm event is NOT generated, but a 40 second timer is activated; if another 2 zones (of the 6, making a total of 3 zones)
enter the alarm state within these 40 seconds, alarm events are then generated for all 3 zones.
Patrol time:
The partition Patrol function serves to simultaneously disarm the zones in a patrol user’s partition after entering the PIN (to allow an inspection round). This does not
apply to zones with the "ignore patrol" attribute (the partitions will remain armed, but the zones will not generate an alarm if triggered). The zones automatically return
to the armed state at the end of the Patrol time (expressed in minutes) (the patrol user can in any case manually restore the armed state from the keyboard before this
time lapses)
Auto-arming delay time:
This is the time (in minutes) by which the programmed auto-arming will be delayed. In practice, for example, it is the time required when working overtime.
Activity monitoring time:
If a partition contains zones with the “Activity test” option enabled, when the partition is not armed, a lack of activity in those zones for longer than the time programmed
for that parameter (in minutes) generates a "no activity" event, which serves to send notifications and/or control a terminal programmed as an output (e.g. the sensors
in a partition of a shop should always detect activity during opening hours with the alarm disarmed). The time measurement restarts whenever the partition is disarmed.

8.3 SYSTEM – Temporal exceptions
This section serves to enable the temporal exceptions (i.e. time programs) for arming partitions, automatisms and weekly user access plans.
To create a new temporal exception, click the key and set the parameters.
A temporal exception has the following parameters:
- exception start month and day
- exception end month and day
