By-alarm Plus General characteristics • LTE communicators They notify users and installers of system events via the mobile network operators . They operate in the 2G, 3G and 4G networks that the peripheral automatically selects (according to the best technology available in the location of the system installation) and send voice messages and text messages . The user may also send text messages to the peripheral to give the system controls .
By-alarm Plus How to create a system 2. How to create a system Below is a description of the different ways a By-alarm Plus system can be created . In actual fact each method is not mutually exclusive from the next and so the installer will decide the most appropriate one to use .

By-alarm Plus The control unit 3.10 Installing the control unit The control unit card can be installed together with other peripherals inside the following articles: • Art . 03814 By-alarm Plus plastic box for 25- or 65-zone control unit card, 2 slots available for 5 In/Out expansion card 03808, GSM communicator card 03810 or burglar alarm system gateway 03812, 1 slot available for radio module 03832, 1 3 .2A power supply unit 03805, 1 housing for 7Ah battery, anti-removal and anti-tamper protection, surface mounting .
By-alarm Plus The control unit 3.12 Connecting the PC This can be done in the following ways: • USB: this is a direct connection to the control unit via the USB port . The connection operation depends on the installation of the drivers for communication via USB which are normally available on PCs where Microsoft® Windows® is installed .
By-alarm Plus Connecting the peripherals to the control unit bus 4. Connecting the peripherals to the control unit bus Connection of peripherals to the control unit is with a 4-wire (or more) shielded cable . Caution: Connect the shield to one of the earth (or GND) terminals at the control unit end only, and ensure that it follows the entire BUS without being connected to earth at any other point.
By-alarm Plus Connecting the peripherals to the control unit bus The length (L) indicated here corresponds: • in the case of a single line, to the length of the cables between an isolator and the subsequent peripherals or between two subsequent isolators . •...

By-alarm Plus Connecting the peripherals to the control unit bus Integrated regenerated power supply and regeneration of BUS signals If the current required to power the BUS peripherals is less than 1A, then isolator art . 03823 can be used as it is equipped with an integrated switching power supply unit capable of supplying 13 .8V@1A .
By-alarm Plus Connecting alarm sensors and balancing 5. Connecting alarm sensors and balancing Connecting sensors (detectors) and balancing them depends on their type and on the protection degree you wish to achieve . Sensors can be powered: • by terminals [+AUX/12V] and [-/earth] present on the control unit •...
By-alarm Plus Connecting alarm sensors and balancing Note The level of protection of the single balancing is as safe as the double balancing if the sabotage contact of the sensor is connected to a balanced input. 5.3 Double balancing Double balancing (often indicated as double end-of-line resistor or double EOL) uses two resistors, for which four statuses of the terminal which they are connected to can be detected: •...
By-alarm Plus Connecting alarm sensors and balancing 5.5 Connecting roller shutter/inertia sensors and balancing In the case of roller shutter or inertia detectors, you can choose between two balancing types: • normally closed (NC) • single balancing (similar to NC with EOL resistor) .
