The following terminals supply the sensors: ---- [+F] (positive) and [ ] (negative) on Omnia and Omnia/S ---- [+F] (positive) and [ ] (negative) on Input Expanders ---- [+] (positive) and [ ] (negative) on Keypads Each zone supports several sensors, however, if only one is connected per zone, it will be possible to identify the zones in the event of alarms.
Refer to Tamper Terminal for the connection of the A.S. terminals. Connecting Fire sensors The Academy40 can manage fire sensors with alarm-repeat outputs that operate at 12 V (e.g. BENTEL SECU- RITY sensors RT101-RT102 and RF501). Refer to Figure 20 for the connection schematic.
Panel terminals [NA1--NC1--C1] and [NA2--NC2--C2] can activate all types of signalling devices. The Panel and Output Expanders have Open-Collector outputs (terminals [OC1] and [OC2], etc.) that can activate Negative alarm line devices directly, and all types of signalling devices through Omnia/4R Relay board. IMPORTANT In order to comply with IMQ Security System Regulations----relays must be connected to the Open-Collector outputs.
Omnia is powered by a mains voltage of 230V/50 Hz through an on-board linear power supply. Omnia/S is powered by a mains voltage of 230V/50 Hz through a switching power supply inside the cabinet. The backup battery will supply power in the event of Mains Failure.
PROGRAMMING This Panel can be programmed via computer or keypad. The Omnia application----from the optional Security Suite software----provides a trouble-free way of programming the Panel. This section holds in-detail information on the system parameters, and should be referred to when programming via keypad.
The Customer code----entered on the Customer data page----will be copied automatically onto the Teleservice page, and vice versa. Panel type Select Omnia for Omnia and Omnia/S. Firmware Release This is a non-modifiable field that will show the selected firmware release (selected from the Options menu or downloaded from the Panel).
Configuration On initial Startup the Panel will perform an auto-configuration cycle. The configuration learned during this cycle will become the recognized BPI Bus configuration (refer to the Con- necting the Power supply section). Any changes must be made by the Installer. Proper functioning of the Panel depends on the BPI Bus configuration.

Enter the required number of cycles under Cycles. 0 Violation on the zone will be ignored. 1 ÷254 The zone will signal alarm status, as per programming, the zone will then be bypassed on the analysis until one of the following conditions occurs: Status change on its partition...
----two 3 A relays (Terminals [NA1], [NC1], [C1], [+A1], [+N1]) and [NA2], [NC2], [C2], [+A2], [+N2]) The Omnia/OUT expanders have four 0.15 A open-collector outputs (Terminals [OC1], [OC2], [OC3] and [OC4]). The buzzer on board the Omnia/OUT expander can be connected to terminal [OC4] with positive or negative logic----depending on the jumper 68.
Reserved Outputs (manual) The outputs can be used to switch ON/OFF electrical appliances, from a remote keypad or via telephone. Reserved outputs cannot be assigned to events, and therefore, their status will be determined by the commands given via keypad or telephone. Reserved outputs should not be programmed as Monostable----as they must be activated/stopped manually.
Dependent partitions will disarm automatically when one of the partitions they depend on disarms. The Dependent partition can be armed/disarmed manually by enabled User Codes/Keys/Cards. A partition should not be programmed as depending on itself. Figure 25 Partitions page Expandable Multifunction Control Panel Omnia...

The signal on output OCx will also be present on outputs OC1, OC2, OC3, ..., OCn with a 2 second delay (ap- prox.). The signal on output OCx must be present for more than 400 mS in order to activate outputs OC1, OC2, OC3, ..., OCn. Figure 50 Multiple output event via Hardware Expandable Multifunction Control Panel Omnia...
Multi-output events (via Software) The programming described in this section will allow single events to activate several outputs. This procedure makes the fullest use of the hierarchy that is inherent in the events structure. The Generic Alarm event (partition or panel) and Tamper alarm event (partition or panel) both trigger the Ge- neric+Tamper alarm event (partition or panel), as the latter is the sum of the previous two events (see Figure 54).
These outputs will stay open for 2 minutes. The three codes must be entered within this interval, otherwise, one of the outputs will close to ground and block input zone [Ly], thus blocking output [OCx] that opens the door.
