1. Description The BS-468/A is an 8 zone burglar alarm panel. Using the special expansion card BS-469 it can be expanded to 16 zones. Using the special expansion card BS-479, the panel acquires 32 wireless zones. For its operation, at least one BS-466 keyboard is required. Up-to 8 keyboards can be con- nected to the panel.
2. User instructions 2.1. Basic operations The panel has 1 main code (master code) which by default is set to [1 2 3 4] and up-to 50 user codes which by default are not programmed. The system can operate in two different modes. Depending on the mode of operation, the arm and disarm operations differ.
Armed system indication When the system is armed, then next to the clock, instead of the Olympia electronics logo there is a lock symbol. Next to the lock symbol we can see which sections are armed. In this example we can see that the system is partially armed because only the C section is armed.

3.2. Connections Connecting the battery and the mains power supply As far as the battery is concerned, there are two cables, red and black for connection to the positive and negative pole respectively. Keyboard connections In order to simplify the installation procedure, the keyboard has two parts, the base and the main body.
Page 17
Connecting 8 keyboards to the panel. The cables must be connected in such a way that will permit the connection of the device one after the other. No terminal should contain 3 cables or more. The jump- ers of the terminal resistors must be placed only on the two outermost devices. On all the other devic- es is should be removed or left in a open position.
Siren connections For connecting the autonomous siren type BS-413 up-to 7 cables are required. On the terminals (+) και (-) connect the voltage (AS), (-) which charges the siren. When we supply the (ST) with 12V the siren and the beacon are activated. Connect (ST) to the P1 contact of the panel which is programmed to provide 12V during an alarm and 0V during the idle state.
Zone connections Connecting the panel with radars (infrared movement detectors, PIR) or other devices which require power. For the connection, 4 cables are required (6 if the TAMPER is connected). The 2 cables are connected to the (12V) and (-) of the panel and provide power to the respective terminals of all the detectors.
Connection of smoke and heat detectors The connection of the fire detectors is possible only if the zone which are connected is programmed as a «FIRE» zone. The normally closed contacts of the relay on the base (NC,C) are connected in series with the resistor of the zone of the panel.

This selection is used for the magnetic contacts that are used for the main entrance and also for the radar the will de- tect the user before he reaches the panel to disarm it. For wireless PIR sensor and magnetic sensor, the selection is forced from the device Dip-switch and it is validated only in the technician menu.
After selecting the zone mode we must select the section (A, B, C). If we want to operate the panel as a whole system then this selection is important. The next setting is "ZONE BELL". In case we select "YES", when the panel is armed and the zone is activated, the keyboard buzzer will sound.

4. After a few seconds the installation screen reappears and we can add other devices if needed in the same way. After inserting a device, a 10-second interval occurs during which no other device can be identified. 5. If 32 devices have already been installed and try to add another, 4 long beeps will be heard. No other devices can be installed.

The programming of the panel can be done easily by using the special computer software PC-468 that is provided free by Olympia Electronics. A simple USB to mini-USB cable (BS-466/A keyboard) or a USB to Type-B cable (connection to the panel's board) and download the latest version of the program from our website is required.
Page 41
The panel or the keypad must not be connected to the computer during the software installation. The PC-468 installation is done by running the downloaded file. After installation ends, connect the USB cable to the USB port of the BS-466/A keyboard or BS-468/A board in order to establish a connection with the panel.

PC-468 initial screen We press the connect button and the window bellow appears. After a while the current attached de- vices of the panel will appear. While the panel tries to enumerate the connected system peripherals, the "OK" button is not active. The picture bellow shows an example of a system that has 1 BS-466/A keyboard and the wireless zones extension card BS-479.

In the lower left corner, the user type that is enabled can be found. Double-clicking on it will reset the panel to a simple user level. This type of user is not able to program the table. Depending on the level of access we have (technical or master user), we can make the corresponding changes.

Wireless zones window If we want we can download all table settings by pressing the "Download All" button, as shown below. After that we can adjust or preview all the settings, such as Zones information, passwords, events, timers and outputs. Because this function is time consuming, if we need to take information for specific features of the panel, it is better to load the data from each tab independently.
"Panel" Window In this window we can see and make changes on the panel settings. We can receive the settings from the panel by pressing the button "Receive". This action is needed in case we have not pressed "Down- load All", as described on the previous page. These changes can also be performed by the keypad.

Offline Connection The PC program is operational even if a panel is not connected. Of course, the available functions are limited. This feature helps the installer to prepare a system without being connected to a table. With this option we are starting a new installation without any panel connected. The red colour in the indicator to the down left bottom of the above screen reveals the connection ab- sense between the panel and the PC.
If, for example, the "Wireless Extension" option is selected at the same time with a "BS-458" panel, which does not support this function, the panel will not contain wireless zones because this feature does not exist on BS-458 panels. Also, if "BS-458" panel is selected, it is up to the installer to choose whether the specific panel has a GSM extension.
