General characteristics of the system Connectable devices The total number of connected devices, in any case, must always be less than or equal to 60 (the transponder keys must not be included in the count) . The table gives the minimum and maximum number of “addressable” devices for each system .
Page 97
General characteristics of the system Project criteria Making a burglar alarm system involves the following phases: • determining the rooms to protect; • identifying the number of zones in which you want to split up the system; • determining the number of detectors and their location; • choosing the location of the control panel, connectors, any relay actuators, contact interfaces, any radio interfaces with the RF sensors to be associated After setting the system project you move on to sizing it. Sizing the system The two main rules to observe for sizing the system correctly are the following: • observe the maximum length of the connection cables between the devices (see following paragraph); • correctly size the power supplies according to the dimensions of the system you are going to make; it is fundamental to permit adequate operating time (24 h) in case of a 230 V~ mains power failure .

General characteristics of the system Checking power input To be able to size the system correctly, therefore checking the necessary number of back-up units, there is a system card to fill in at the time of preparing and sizing. This card, summarising the system configuration and programming, is particularly helpful when expanding the system and/or for subsequent maintenance. The card must be completed carefully following the instructions it gives and taking account of the following: normally is required, for burglar alarm systems, requires a minimum operating time of 24 h in case of a mains failure .

Other applications The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the applications related to the other functions that can be performed by the intrusion detection alarm system . The following pages, step by step, describe the configuration operations to be performed on the devices in order to obtain each of the available applications .
Other applications 11.1. Activation of a bell with the passive IR detector The aim of this application consists of activating a signalling device, for example a bell, via an IR detector so as to signal entry of a person into the room . With the burglar alarm system turned off, the IR detector detects the entry of a person and, via the BUS, communicates the operation of the bell to the relay acuator .
Other applications 11.2 Activation of a bell with the contact interface The aim of this application consists of activating a signalling device, for example a bell, via a contact interface so as to signal the opening of a door into a room and therefore entry of a person . With the burglar alarm system turned off, as soon as the door opens, the magnetic contact installed on the latter opens and the entry of a person is detected .
Other applications 11.3. Activation of an electric lock with the connector The aim of this application consists of activating an electric lock by using the transponder key on one of the connectors of the burglar alarm system . Only assigned persons, equipped with an enabled key, have access to the room protected by turning off the intrusion detection system and, at the same time, opening the electric lock .
Other applications 11.4. Signalling alarm with no audible warning (anti-robbery) The aim of this application is to signal an alarm situation (anti-robbery) via the burglar alarm via bus system, without this signal interfering with the state of the system and without this generating any sound alarm . The alarm is generated by pressing a NC button that, via the contact interface, activates the relay actuator, which in its turn activates the phone dialler to make the required call .
Page 193
Other applications Configuration The aim is to activate the relay (and therefore the phone dialler) via the contact interface . It is therefore necessary to place the actuator and the contact interface in the same zone, doing the configuration according to the procedures described in chap . 6 . The parameters of the actuator and contact interface must be set as follows: - Relay actuator: behaviour = one-position stable, OFF time = n seconds .
Other applications 11.5. Closing the gas flow solenoid valve in the event of leakage (technical alarm) If there is a gas leak it is possible, using the burglar alarm system, to close the solenoid valve and make the technical alarm call with the phone dialler . The (gas) detector detects gas and the contact interface, which is connected to this detector, sends the message to the control panel and moreover activates the relay actuator that closes the solenoid valve of the gas system .
Page 195
Other applications Configuration The aim is to have the contact interface activate the relay and therefore the phone dialler and/or the solenoid valve. It is therefore necessary to place the actuator and the contact interface in the same zone, doing the configuration according to the procedures described in chap . 6 . The parameters of the actuators and contact interface must be set as follows: - Relay actuator connected to solenoid valve: behaviour = two-position stable . - Relay actuator connected to telephone dialler: behaviour = one-position stable .
Other applications 11.6. Activation of audible alarm warnings (panic button) The aim of this application consists in the possibility of voluntarily activating the sirens in order to generate a loud audible warning as a deterrent for burglars . This function, called “panic button”, can also be activated with the system switched off and under any condition of system partialization. When the NC button connected with the contact interface on terminals C and M is pressed, the devices that generate the audible warnings are activated .

Glossary 12. Glossary Alarm Signal of a state of danger for life, property or the surrounding environment . Intrusion alarm Alarm generated by a presence, entry or attempted intrusion in a surveilled place . Tamper alarm (tampering) Alarm generated by the detection of attempted tampering with the device . This function is often indicated with the term 24 h to specify that it is always on .
Page 198
Glossary Operating states of the system System on The system is defined to be On when it is working and able to generate an intrusion alarm from one of the zones into which it has been divided . System in Configuration The system is defined to be in Configuration when, after setting this operating mode with a suitable sequence of commands, the control panel is set up for programming the devices . When the system is in the phase of Configuration, it inhibits the reception of alarm signals and therefore the sound of the sirens .
