VERSA Plus SATEL ABAX wireless sirens The wireless sirens take up 2 outputs and 2 zones in the system. How the signaling is controlled by the outputs depends on the siren: ASP-105 – the first of the outputs to which the siren is assigned controls the acoustic signaling.
SATEL VERSA Plus The EN50131-3 standard requires that zones must react to signals lasting more than 400 ms. It means in case of the wireless expanders of hardwired zones and outputs that no values exceeding 300 ms should be entered when programming the sensitivity (the higher the value, the lower the sensitivity).

SATEL VERSA Plus energy save (available in some detectors) – after sending information on violation, the detector will not send any further information about violations for 3 minutes (the zone will be violated for 2 seconds after the controller receives the transmission containing information on detector violation).
VERSA Plus SATEL 10. Timers The timer compares the time to that of the control panel clock and executes the selected function at the programmed time. Using the timers, it is possible to control the armed mode of partitions and the outputs 15. C .
SATEL VERSA Plus 10.2 Timer parameters Name – individual timer name (up to 16 characters). Weekly schedule – the time of starting/ending timer for each day of the week and everyday (the timer can be started/ended twice a day: according to the settings scheduled for the given day of the week and according to the everyday settings).
VERSA Plus SATEL Events amount limiting – if the option is enabled, events from the same source are saved into the event log and reported to the monitoring station 3 times only. This option does not apply to the alarms from zones (see: A 3 or A 1 zone option).
Page 75
SATEL VERSA Plus The identifier consists of 4 hexadecimal characters (digits or letters from A to F). Entering the value 0000 means that events assigned to that identifier will not be reported. Using the digit 0 in the identifiers is not recommended.
VERSA Plus SATEL Station 1 options / Station 2 options SIA – send part. name – if the option is enabled, in the SIA format, the name of partition where the event took place will also be sent, in addition to the event code.
Page 77
SATEL VERSA Plus In the case of SMS reporting, the control panel gets no acknowledgement of receiving the event codes by the monitoring station, hence this transmission path should be used as the last one. The switch-over from one SIM card to the other one requires time (for example, to log onto the network), so it is better to use up all the transmission paths available for one SIM card.
X program: “SIA-IP” tab in “Versa – Reporting” window. LOAD IP format – if the event codes are to be sent via Ethernet or GPRS, specify whether SATEL format or SIA-IP format (SIA DC-09 standard) will be used. Protocol – if the event codes are to be sent via Ethernet or GPRS, specify whether TCP or UDP protocol will be used.
SATEL VERSA Plus hex – if the option is enabled, you can enter up to 32 hexadecimal characters as the SIA-IP . If the option is disabled, you can enter up to 16 hexadecimal characters as the SIA-IP SIA-IP acct – a string of up to 16 hexadecimal characters, which is used to identify the control panel for the purpose of reporting in SIA-IP format.
