Safety Notes


Mains voltage is factory set and not adjustable - see label on transformer.
Removal of the transformer is prohibited and will invalidate the warranty.
Only use batteries of the specified type.
Dispose of used batteries safely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Locate the battery inside the panel in the space provided.
This equipment is designed for dry indoor use only.
When replacing a fuse always observe the specified rating and type - failure to do so is
dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. Fuses should comply with IEC 127.
The press-seal bag must NOT be stored inside the panel.

Warranty

All Texecom products are designed for reliable, trouble-free operation. Quality is carefully
monitored by extensive computerised testing. As a result the Control Panel is covered by a two
year warranty against defects in material or workmanship (details on request).
As the Control Panel is not a complete alarm system but only a part thereof, Texecom cannot
accept responsibility or liability for any damages whatsoever based on a claim that the Control
Panel failed to function correctly. Due to our policy of continuous improvement Texecom reserve
the right to change specification without prior notice.
The Veritas R8Plus/Veritas Excel, Veritas R8 Keypad, and Veritas Excel Keypad are protected by UK &
International Registered Design. Registered Design Numbers: 2041830, 2047440 and 2089016

European Standards

Texecom declares that this product complies with the requirements of the
following directives:
 2004/108/EC

2006/95/EC

2011/65/EU
The product therefore meets all the requirements to enable it to be CE
marked.
Weee Directive: 2012/19/EU (WEEE directive): Products marked with this
symbol cannot be disposed of as unsorted municipal waste in the European
Union. For proper recycling, return this product to your local supplier upon
the purchase of equivalent new equipment, or dispose of it at designated
collection points. For more information see: www.recyclethis.info.
EN 50131
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 several functional changes may be invoked using
Miscellaneous Selections Zero, Option 5 (see page 20). In addition the following points should
be noted:
 In order to comply with EN 50131-1 Engineer access must first be authorised by a user,
therefore Installer codes will only be accepted when the system is unset. If additional
restriction is required then Engineer access may be time limited to the first 30 seconds
after the system is unset (see page 20).

In order to comply with EN 50131-1 neither Internals Only on Part Set Zone Alarm nor
Internals Only on Part Set Tamper Alarm should be selected (see page 20).
 In order to comply with EN 50131-1 Single Button Setting should not be selected (see page
20).

In order to comply with EN 50131-1:

Do not fit more than 10 unpowered detectors per zone,
 Do not fit more than one non-latching powered detector per zone,
 Do not mix unpowered detectors and non-latching powered detectors on a zone.

In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Entry Time should not be programmed to more
than 45 seconds (see page 29).
 In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Bell Cut-Off Time should be programmed
between 02 and 15 minutes (see page 29).

In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Bell Delay Time should not be programmed to
more than 10 minutes (see page 29).
 EN 50131-1 requires that detector activation LEDs shall only be enabled during Walk Test.
This is most conveniently achieved by using detectors with a Remote LED Disable input
connected to the panel SW+ output, programmed to operate during Walk Test (see page
24).

EN 50131-6 requires that the power supply output ripple should not exceed 5% at mains
voltages down to 207VAC. This limits the maximum rated output of the power supply to
600mA. The power supply can supply more than this at higher mains voltages or if
greater ripple is accepted, for example at 230VAC the power supply can deliver up to 1A.

The standby time is the time for which the system power supply is capable of supplying
its rated output current when running on battery only (i.e. in the event of mains failure). In
order to comply with EN 50131-1 the standby time should be at least 8 hours for Grade 1
Systems and at least 15 hours for Grade 2 Systems. In order to comply with EN 50131-6
the Standby Time should be at least 12 hours for both Grade 1 and 2 Systems. For
smaller battery sizes this means that the rated output of the power supply will actually be
determined by the capacity of the standby battery and will be less than the power supply
is capable of supplying (with the mains on). The rated output of the power supply may be
calculated by dividing the capacity of the battery by the required standby time where the
result is smaller than the maximum rated output of 600mA.
Rated output currents for typical battery sizes are shown in the following table:
1.2Ah
2.1Ah

1. Engineer Reset prevents the user from resetting the system. It is not in itself a method of
resetting the system.
2. EN 50131-1 separately defines Zone Inhibit and Zone Isolate optional facilities. The Zone
Omit facility supported by the Control Panel corresponds to Inhibit. The Zone Disable
facility supported by the Control Panel corresponds to Isolate.
3. When the battery voltage falls below the minimum system operating voltage it will be
indicated as a power fault if the mains is on and will cause alarm if the mains is off.
4. The Control Panel Reset facility corresponds to the EN 50131-1 Restore function.
5. EN 50131-6 states that for integrated power supplies the environmental and tamper
considerations of the control panel should be applied.
This equipment is designed to enable an intruder alarm system in which it is installed to comply
with the requirements of security grades 1 or 2 of EN 50131-1, and EN 50131-6, and is suitable
for installation in any indoor environment.
