3.4 Overview of PCB Plug-by communicator port You can connect a plug-by communicator to this port. By default, outputs 1-8 are 0V when active, and 12Vdc when inactive. Please refer to 1.5.3 Plug-by (digital communicator) on page 14 in this guide for the default output type used for each output and programming details.
Page 23
Wired zone connections You can connect up to 10 wired detectors (0 to 9) to the panel using the Fully- Supervised Loop (FSL), 4-wire Closed Circuit (CC) or 2-wire CC wiring method (Figure 5, page 19). You must use the same method for all detectors. If 4-wire CC is used, the number of zones is halved and are numbered 1-5.
RS485 bus termination Link If the panel uses a single daisy chain to connect keypads and is at one end of the chain, fit a jumper across this link in the panel and in the last keypad on the bus. RS485 termination can improve performance in electrically noisy environments.

HUAs have an alarm sound that is distinct from other alarm types. Fire Alarm - FA (02) Smoke or heat detectors connected to Fire Alarm zones cause keypads, loudspeakers and the external siren to give a pulsing fire signal (subject to the Alarm Response; see page 49). Fire alarms operate whether the system is set or unset and will always trigger communications.
Page 35
Each time a user operates the keyswitch, the panel changes the current set state. The keyswitch can full set or unset. Key Switch Latched – KSL (09) Use this zone type to connect a fixed position keyswitch to a single zone. When the user opens the keyswitch contacts, the panel sets the system.
Page 36
Use this zone type to complete setting when the exit mode is Lock Set (see page 48). This zone type is designed for a normally open switch (one that is open when the lock is locked). Note that this zone type is armed during setting and when the system is set. A Lock Set zone can take the Inverted attribute.
5.1.4 Attributes Table 5 shows the zone attributes and the zone types they apply to. You can assign more than one attribute to a zone. The display shows only the available attributes for the zone type you select. Table 5: Zone attributes available for zone types Zone Attributes Zone Type Not Used...
Page 38
During setting, a brief message is displayed to inform the user that one or more zones are in soak test. Note: If there is an output configured as type Zone Follow for a zone under Soak Test, the panel will continue to operate the output if the soak test zone is triggered.
Inverted On FSL zones, the attribute makes the panel treat resistances in the 6k9 band as “tamper”, and resistances below the 2k2 band as “alarm”. In 4-wire CC zones the attribute makes the panel treat open alarm contacts as “no alarm” and closed alarm contacts as “alarm”. (Tamper contacts are not affected by the Invert attribute.) You can apply this attribute to any zone type except Tamper Return and Not Used.
5.2.1 Adding a keypad If the keypad you are adding already has an address stored within it, you will need to clear the address before adding it to the bus. You can do this manually by pressing the D and keys while the keypad's tamper switch is open, or by using Delete Keypad (see page 41) To add a new keypad: 1.
If you are re-scanning the bus through Address Bus Device, the display shows: Press addr button(s) on bus devices If there are new keypads, continue as described in the previous section. Alternatively, press if there are no new keypads. Changes are not saved until you leave Installer menu.
5.3.4 Enable Keypad Use this option and set the enable status to “No” if you suspect that the device is faulty and wish to remove it from service temporarily. While the keypad is disabled, the panel ignores all signals or input from the device but retains the name and other settings allocated to the device.
Active when the panel starts a hold up alarm. Burglar Alarm (03) Active when any of the following zones are triggered while set: Normal Alarm, Tamper (in a set system), Entry Route, Tamper Zone (in a set system), Entry time expires, 24 hour (in a set system).
Page 44
Strobe (22) Active when either of the following occurs: a) The panel starts a full alarm, hold-up alarm or fire alarm. The output remains active until the user disarms the system. b) Setting or unsetting, if you have selected “strobe on set” and/or “strobe on unset” (see page 50).
Page 45
Active when the system is part set. Part Set B (35) Active when setting Part Set B. Deactivated on unsetting Part Set B. This output type is available only if a zone has the Part Set B attribute set to On. Part Set C (36) Active when setting Part Set C.
Page 46
Note: If a user activates the output while it is deactivated, the output stays activated until the panel reaches the next off time. If a user de-activates the output while it is activated, the output deactivates until the panel reaches the next on time. •...
Active when the system is in entry mode. Exit Only (72) Active when the system is in exit mode. Note this output will NOT activate if the system uses Instant Set exit mode. Chime Tone Mimic (73) Active when any zone with a chime attribute is active. Alert Active (74) Active when the LEDs around the navigation key on a keypad are red.
Note: To make the plug-by outputs operate, you must select an alarm response that includes communications (see from page 49). See page 53 for details of the Remote Reset input of the plug-by communicator port. 7. Setting Options Menu The Setting Options menu contains all the options to program entry, exit and alarm response. You can configure different settings for the full-set level and each part-set B/C/D level.
Time (see page 49) expires, the panel sets the system and converts the Final Exit zone to a zone of type Normal Alarm. Unsetting: When a user de-activates the Lock Set zone, the panel converts any zone originally programmed as Final Exit back to Final Exit (so that the entry time starts when the user opens the entry door) and starts a warning tone (distinct from the entry tone).
Siren + Comms: Communication, external sirens, keypads and loudspeakers. Note that any Siren Delay (see page 50) applies to Siren+Comms, but not Internal or Siren alarm responses. 7.1.8 Siren Delay You can use this option to delay the sounding of a confirmed alarm. If System Options –...
8. System Options Menu This menu contains options that affect the working of the alarm system as a whole. 8.1 User Options 8.1.1 User Access Use this option to give users access to various system facilities. HUA Keys Active This option allows users to start an HUA alarm from keypads by pressing both Hold Up Alarm keys at the same time.
Silence Alerts This option controls the length of time that keypads and loudspeakers give the alert tone (a brief ‘beep’ every second) when there is an alert. Note: Some alerts are associated with a specific part of the system (such as an alert generated by a detector of type Technical Alarm that is in a part set).
Remote Reset (RedCare Reset) If you select NO for System Tampers, then when a tamper occurs, the panel enables the Remote Reset input pin on the plug-by connector. After an alarm, the user may silence the sounders, but to reset the system, the user must first contact the ARC. The ARC (after verifying the user’s identity) can cause the Remote Reset input to go to +12V by way of the plug-by communicator.
1. Select Factory Defaults and confirm the operation when prompted. 2. Answer the configuration prompts. These are similar to those displayed when you first powered-up the panel (see page 27). 3. To delete all users, remove and reconnect all power to the panel immediately after using Factory Defaults (before you exit the Installer menu).
Enabled If the user triggers a zone other than the entry route zone during entry, the system waits 30 seconds before raising a full alarm. The system also gives an internal alarm during the 30- second wait. If the user enters an access code before the end of the 30-second period, the user can reset the system.
8.4.5 Siren On Unconfirm The panel operates the siren for all alarms (and overrides any Siren Delay). Confirm When the system is set, the panel does not activate the siren(s) until a confirmed alarm occurs. The behaviour of sounders and sirens is described in Table 6. 8.4.6 HUA Response This option controls the audible alarm associated with Hold-Up Alarms (HUAs).
8.5 Hardware 8.5.1 Panel Name You can use this option to give the panel a name. The name is displayed only when using the About, Panel option (see page 62). 8.5.2 Wired Zone Type The panel prompts you to select the zone wiring type when you power up a panel for the first time, or when you restore the panel to factory defaults (see page 32).
mains restore. A user can reset the alert and deactivate any General Fault outputs by pressing the navigation and entering the access code again. 8.5.5 Linked Zone Time This defines the time within which two zones that have the Linked Zone attribute must activate to trigger an alarm.
Audible ABUS Security-Center GmbH & Co. KG recommends audible response for line fault. If the system is unset, the system logs the event. Keypads and loudspeakers produce a short audible tone after Line Fail Delay when the line response changes from OK to fail. Entering a valid access code silences the tone and the display indicates a line fault.
10.2 Wired Keypad Use this menu option to test the keypad you are currently using. When you start the test, the bottom line of the display shows the keypad name and bus address. All four ABCD LEDs should glow. The LEDs around the navigation should all glow red. Every time you press a navigation key, the LEDs change colour.
alternates between the Alarm resistance (“A”) and the Tamper resistance (“T”). “O/C” means Open Circuit. “0k00” means zero resistance or closed circuit. 10.5 Zone Status 10.5.1 Wired Zones You can use this option to display the current status of each zone. Select the zone you want to check.
Page 62
11. View Log Menu The panel keeps a log of events (for example, alarms and times of setting/unsetting). An installer or master user can read the log when the system is completely unset. Note that no other user type can read the log. 11.1 Log Events To comply with EN50131-1:2006 for grade 2 systems, the log is divided internally into two portions: mandatory events and non-mandatory events.
Page 63
Appendix A: Log Messages Introduction This Appendix gives short explanations of the messages that may appear in the panel’s log. Please note that many of the messages refer to specific devices by the bus and device number. Therefore, it is not possible to show in this list the exact log message that you may be seeing on any given installation.
