Tamper network

The Tamper circuit is used to protect all cables and detectors in the system from unauthorised access including the panel and RKP covers. The zone and PA tampers should be series wired and connected to the TAMP terminals. Terminals T & A are for the external bell / sounder tamper. The TAMP terminals at the bottom left of the PCB are for the RKP tampers. Tamper alarms that occur in the Day mode operate internal sounders only. Tamper alarms in Set cause a full alarm condition. Tamper is indicated on the control panel and RKPs by the Tamper indicator.

Push to set zone

Any zone can be wired and configured as a Push to Set input. This can be a standard door bell push located outside the premises After starting the exit timer the building is vacated. As the switch is then momentaraily closed, a chime tone is produced and the system Sets. Sometimes referred to as Terminate Set this facility is mandatory for communicating systems installed to NACOSS guidelines

Fire zone

Any zone may be programmed as a fire zone. This will automatically exclude the availability of the zone from programs and normal security applications.

Press to Set Switch

Note: The push to set switch can be connected to any zone. The zone must be programmed for PTS application.

Fire detector

Remote keyswitch zone
Any zone can be wired and programmed as a keyswitch input and used with a remote keyswitch or lock switch. For security reasons it is recommended that a tamper proof switch is used and that the switch wiring is not accessible from outside the premises.
Note: Fire detector with relay base for output to intruder system.
There are two types of fire zone, Standard and 24 hour type. The Standard fire zone detects fires only when the system is Set, where as the 24 hour fire zone detects fires all the time and will operate whether the system is Set or Unset. A fire will cause a distinctive internal sounder tone. The external sounders will pulse on and off at 2 second intervals and all RKP indicators will flash the affected zone.
Keyswitch Note: A keyswitch can be connected to any zone. The zone must be programmed for keyswitch application.

PA circuit

Any quantity of normally closed type personal attack button may be wired in series and then connected to the PA circuit. Operational in Day and Set, the PA circuit will cause a full alarm condition when activated. PA is indicated on the control panel or RKP as Attack.
The keyswitch may be used to Set (open contacts) or Unset (closed contacts) independently of RKPs. However in this situation the keyswitch may have to catch up with the system. For example if the system is Set via an RKP and Unset with the keyswitch, it
A control marked VOLUME in the centre of the PCB may be used to adjust the low volume entry/exit tones to suit environmental conditions. To adjust this control, partially lift up the top cover.
Bell Output (External sounder)

Panic Button

The bell is usually installed in a high position from where the bell could be seen and heard. Terminal T A D B are for connection to the external bell or sounder. These terminals provide a power/hold-off supply, sounder trigger and tamper circuit to protect the external sounder housing.

Note: The operating polarity of the Communicator output terminals are programmable.
L/FAIL This is a telephone line fail input which is held at approximately 6V by the panel circuitry. The input is activated when pulled to 0V by the telephone line fault output of the communicator. This is usually a voltage free relay or open collector transistor. When a telephone line fault occurs in the Day mode the panel provides an audible double beep every 10 minutes. This indication is automatically cleared when the fault is removed. A telephone line fault which occurs while the system is Set will not cause an alarm condition but any bell delay which is programmed will be cancelled and any intruder alarm which is triggered will operate instant sounders. 13V 0V These terminals provide a 13V supply for the communicator up to a total load of 200mA. The output is protected by a 250mA thermal fuse. If this fuse operates it may be reset by removing the load and allowing a few seconds for it to recover. OUTPUT PORT By default these outputs are programmed as active low output. They are held at 13V and fall to 0V when active, it can source or sink 10mA. The output polarity can be programmed.

Filtering of Intruder alarms
A condition of most police Force Policies and under the guidance of NACOSS NACP 14 (Code of Practice for intruder Alarm Systems Signalling to Alarm Receiving Centres) is that all intruder alarm signals received by an Alarm Receiving Centre (ARC) must be filtered to establish their validity before passing to the police. The exact method of filtering should be decided according to the regional Police Force Policy and ARC procedures. In general, the panels offer the following methods which could be used to filter an alarm. Set/Unset A Set or Unset signal which is received by the ARC at around the same time as an intruder signal can be used to filter the alarm. Abort Output The abort output operates whenever a user code is entered or a keyswitch is used to switch off an intruder alarm condition. When an abort signal is received by ARC at or around the same time as an intruder signal, the alarm can be filtered. Restore of the Intruder Output The intruder alarm output is restored to 12V whenever a user code is entered or a keyswitch is used to switch off an intruder alarm condition. Where an intruder alarm is shortly followed by a restore at the ARC, this can be used to filter the alarm.

Access Codes

There are four codes used in the system, all are 4 digit and can be set to any number from 0000 to 9999. The access codes ensure that only authorised users can operate the system. User 1 and 2 codes The user 1 and user 2 codes have the same operation for testing, Setting and Unsetting, but user 1 code which is usually considered to be the Managers code has the authority to add, change or delete the user 2 code and duress code. Duress code Should be used in a hold up situation where there is pressure to Set or Unset the system. Entry of the code will allow the system to work normally but also generate a silent PA type alarm by operating the PA communicator output. Engineer code Accesses the Engineer Program mode to allow the system to be programmed. The engineer code will not set or unset the system. If configured the Engineers access code can be used to reset the system after an alarm.

Zone Type

Note: By default there are 3 automatic re-arms before the panel is shut down.
Anti code reset (Engineer reset) If the system has been programmed to be engineer reset, after an alarm it will lock out and the RKP will continually display the cause of the alarm. The engineer would then be required to attend the site and use the engineer code to reset the system. Where anti-code reset has also been enabled, the RKP will still show the alarm cause and also display a 4 digit 'quote code' by sequentially flashing zone indicators 1-8. At this point the end user would contact the engineer. After determining the cause of the alarm and deciding that a engineer call was not necessary, a 6 digit anti-code would be given to the user which would reset the system. This anti-code is generated from a small computer program which is installed at most UK Alarm receiving Centres, or alternatively can be run on a PC by the engineer. Security of the anti-code reset system is maintained by a 2 digit site code which is set up in the anti-code generator programme. The same 2 digit site must also be set up in the control panel during installation.

g. Before testing or replacing any fuses, ALL power must be removed. Fuses which fail continually are almost certainly the result of a short circuit or low resistance across the 13V supply or external bell supply (terminal D). Whenever working close to the mains supply or connector, you should exercise extreme caution. Always isolate the mains supply before removing the control panel covers. Where normally open detectors are connected to adjacent zones two pull-up resistors (not supplied) of value 33kohms must be installed. The example below shows how to wire normally open detectors on zones 3 and 4.

Faults

Fault conditions are often the result of minor installation errors or misinterpretation of the equipment being installed. The following points outline the most common installation and commissioning faults. a.
As supplied the user code is 0123 and h. the engineer code is 9999. Both codes will revert back to these default settings on clearing the NVM. The Engineer Program is accessed directly from Day mode via the engineer code. If a tamper, PA or 24Hr fire fault is present on the system, it will go to a lock out condition (showing the appropriate indication). The keypad will not produce any audible responses and the system will not operate until the fault has been found and rectified. The most common cause of a zone not responding to detection is incorrect wiring. Normally closed detectors must be wired together in a series loop before connecting into the appropriate ZONE terminals. Tampers are series wired in the same manner. Where a permanent zone fault is showing and the loop resistance is found to be in order, the most probable cause is a short circuit between the zone wiring and the tamper wiring. When measured with a multimeter the series resistance between the zone and tamper wiring should be infinitely high. If totally lost as to the cause of a fault, remove ALL wiring from the PCB. Refit the 4-links and test the system. Never fit links to any positions other than those marked on the PCB. i.
