Setting the System

If any zones are left open (e.g. a door ajar) or are in fault the display will illuminate the zone light of these zones and sound a repeating series of bleeps corresponding to the zone number (i.e. Zone 1 bleeps once, Zone 2 bleeps twice, etc.). If more than one zone is open the bleeps will correspond to the highest zone number (i.e. if Zone 2 and Zone 6 are open the control panel will bleep 6 times). While one or more zones are open the exit timer is suspended. Open zones that will be closed during exit (e.g. exit zones, like the front door) may be disregarded. Other open zones should be closed. The exit tone and exit timer will resume when all zones are closed. If it is necessary to leave a zone open then it must be omitted (see To OMIT Zones During Setting below). If an open zone cannot be closed then it may be in fault. If the fault cannot be corrected contact your alarm company.
Your Installer can program the system so that it can be set using the " or ' keys without the need to first enter a User code.
To FULL Set the System Ensure all zones are closed (e.g. windows and doors). Enter your 4 digit code !!!!. The Unset light will flash. Press ". The exit tone will sound. Leave the premises. When the system has set the exit tone will stop. To PART Set the System Ensure all zones in the intended Part Set area are closed. Enter your 4 digit code !!!!. The Unset light will flash. Press the number of the required Part Set Suite #, $, % or &. Press '. The quiet exit tone will sound. Leave the protected area. When the system has set the exit tone will stop.
1. If Part Set Suite 1 is desired then it is NOT necessary to press # before pressing '. 2. After entering your code the Unset light will flash indicating the control panel is ready to accept a command (e.g. " or '). If no valid command is entered the system will revert to unset after 16 seconds. 3. Excluded zones (whether from part set or manual omit) that are closed will flash during the exit period. 3

To UNSET the System

Enter via a designated entry route. The slow entry tone will start. Enter your 4 digit code !!!!. The system will unset and the entry tone will stop.
During the last 10 seconds of the entry period the entry tone will change from slow to fast.
To OMIT Zones During Setting
It is possible to exclude (omit) or include individual zones during setting. Enter your 4 digit code !!!!. Press " or enter Part Set Suite number #, $, % or & and press '. Press (. The exit tone and exit timer will stop and the display will illuminate the zones that are about to be armed. Press the appropriate numbered button(s) ! of the zone(s) to be omitted or included. Press ) to complete the omitting procedure. The system will revert to exit mode. The exit tone and exit timer will restart.
1. The system may be programmed so that some zones cannot be omitted. 2. The system will automatically revert to exit mode 16 seconds after the last key is pressed. 3. Whilst omitting, included zones that are in fault are indicated by flashing. 4. Omitted zones that are not in fault flash during the exit period. If a zone is illuminated but the system sounds the exit tone (as opposed to an error tone) then the open zone is omitted.
To Set the System With a Power Fault Enter your 4 digit code !!!!. Press " or enter Part Set Suite number #, $, % or & and press '. The system will sound a repeating series of 10 bleeps. Press (. The display will illuminate the zones that are about to be armed. Press ,. The Power light will turn off. Press ). The exit tone and exit timer will restart.

To RESET During an Alarm Activation
To silence the alarm enter your 4 digit code !!!!. The internal and external sounders will stop but the external strobe will continue to flash. The display will flash the zone light of the zone which first caused the alarm activation and illuminate the zone lights of all subsequently opened zones (if any). To cancel the display and stop the external strobe press *. The system will chime and return to unset.
To RESET After an Alarm Activation
After an alarm activation the internal and external sounders will stop after a pre-set time. The system will re-arm but the external strobe will continue to flash. Enter via a designated entry route. The entry tone will start. Enter your 4 digit code !!!!. The system will unset and the entry tone will stop. The display will flash the zone light of the zone which first caused the alarm activation and illuminate the zone lights of all subsequently opened zones (if any). To cancel the display and stop the external strobe press *. The system will chime and return to unset.
If the System Requires an Anti-Code After an Alarm Activation
The system may be programmed to require an Anti-Code after an alarm activation. You will still be able to silence the alarm by entering your code as normal. However you will not be able to reset the system without first obtaining the Anti-Code. The zone lights will display a random 4 digit sequence. They will flash each digit in turn and then pause before repeating. Contact the phone number on the last page with this sequence in order to obtain a 4 digit Anti-Code which will allow the system to be reset.
To display the zone(s) which caused the alarm press *. The zone light of the zone which first caused the alarm activation will flash, and the zone lights of all subsequently opened zones (if any) will illuminate. To return to the random sequence display press * again.

The CHIME Facility

When the system is unset it is possible to set one or more zones to Chime. When a zone is set to Chime the control panel will sound a tone whenever the zone is entered. INS046-8 5
User Guide To Program the Zones which CHIME To program the zones which will chime, enter your 4 digit code The Unset light will flash. Press +. The display will illuminate the zones that will Chime. Press the appropriate numbered button(s) ! of the individual zone(s) to be included or excluded. Press ) to turn Chime on (the system will sound the chime tone) or press * to turn Chime off (the system will sound an error tone).

To Turn CHIME On or Off To turn Chime on or off press +. The system will sound the chime tone when Chime is turned on and an error tone when Chime is turned off.
If no zones have been programmed to Chime then turning Chime on and off will have no effect.

4. Installing the Alarm Detection Devices
Install the detection devices, PIRs, Contacts, PA Buttons etc. and connect them to the control panel (see page 11).
5. Install the External Sounder
Install the external sounder and connect to the control panel (see page 15).
BEFORE connecting the control panel ALWAYS disconnect the supply at the consumer unit. If in ANY doubt consult a qualified electrician.
WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL

6. Other Wiring

Complete all other wiring including speakers and output connections etc. (see pages 14 - 16 for wiring details).
7. Applying Power to the Control Panel
Once steps 1 to 6 are completed, power can be applied to the control panel.
ONLY connect the mains supply to the mains terminal block, NEVER connect the mains supply directly to the PCB.
ALWAYS refer to National Wiring Regulations when conducting installation. An appropriate and readily accessible disconnection device (e.g. an unswitched fused spur) MUST be provided as part of the installation. The disconnection device must NOT be fitted in a flexible cord. Where identification of the neutral in the mains supply is NOT possible a two-pole disconnection device MUST be used. The building mains supply MUST incorporate appropriate short-circuit backup protection (e.g. a fuse or circuit breaker) of High Breaking Capacity (HBC, at least 1500A). Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for the rated current (i.e. at least 0.75mm2).
If you need to load the factory default settings (see page 17).
Power should always be connected in the following order: Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of the battery and then connect the black battery lead to the negative terminal. Connect the AC mains.
8. Programming the Control Panel
Please refer to section 4 for instruction on programming the control panel.

9. Testing the System

Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions operate as required (see page 24).

Test the internal sounder, external sounder and strobe as described on page 24. To adjust the low-level volume use the control 'pot' on the PCB (see page 9), volume increases anti-clockwise. If the system fails to operate as expected check that the mounting and wiring are as per the instructions. Correct any mistakes and repeat the test (see page 18, Trouble Shooting). Replace the lid and secure with the two lid screws supplied - do not over-tighten. Fit the screw covers, these can be found in the spares bag. Press. to leave the Programming Menu. All the zone lights will turn off. The Power light will be flashing to indicate that action is required. Switch on the mains supply to the control panel. The Power light will stop flashing and stay on continuously. If the factory settings (see page 4) are not appropriate then re-program the system as described on see page 20. If you have a meter:

In order to connect a computer to the control panel, a PCCom lead is required. The PC-Com has a plug at either end of the cable. The 9-way D-type connector is for connection to a serial port on a computer and the 5-way Molex connector is plugged onto Com 1 on the control panel.
Disconnect the battery & check the total non-alarm current is less than 1A. Reconnect the battery & check the total alarm current is not more than 1A. Set your meter to DC current. Connect your meter across F5 (power supply fuse). Remove F5. Record the current drain. Replace F5. Remove your meter. To avoid accidentally powering down the system be sure to follow all the above steps in order.
Commissioning (Initial Power Up)
The total current is measured as follows:
ALWAYS Ensure the mains is off BEFORE removing the front cover
Connect the black battery lead to the negative (-) terminal of the standby battery and the red battery lead to the positive (+) terminal of the standby battery. All the indicator lights will come on. After 10 seconds the zone lights will turn off and a repeating 9 bleep error tone will start.

To Load Factory Settings

Apply power to the control panel and press. OR press and release the lid tamper spring 3 times BEFORE the zone lights turn off and the repeating 9 bleep error tone starts
Installation is now complete and the system is ready for use.
If the battery is flat or faulty the RKP may not accept key presses.
When the system is full set, after the exit period, the external strobe will flash for approximately 6 seconds (this option can be de-selected, see page 22).

Servicing the System

No Power to the Unit (Battery Only)
Check the battery fuse F1 and replace if blown. Check for any loose wires at the BATT terminals on the PCB. Check that the battery wires are connected correctly; red from BATT+ to the battery positive (+), black from BATT- to the battery negative (-).

Programming the Control Panel Option 4 - Enable DD 243:2002 Options When ON Opening the initial entry door disables ALL means of confirmation through out the protected premises. When the Confirmation timer expires, the Intruder Alarm output will restore, the next detector to activate will then cause the Intruder Alarm output to re-activate and the Confirmation Timer to restart. When the DD 243:2002 option is enabled, owing to the ability to disable ALL of the confirmation facilities, the customer should be advised in writing by the alarm company that ALL means of confirmation are disabled when the initial entry door is opened. The alarm company should then obtain written acceptance from the customer of the disabling of the means of confirmation. Option 5 - Enable Confirmation After Entry Time Out When ON confirmation is ONLY disabled for the duration of the Entry Time and is RE-ENABLED once the Entry Time has expired, after which activation of a further two zones must occur before the Confirmation output will activate.

Push To Set

Push to Set is intended to reduce false alarms due to user error when full setting the system. The user starts full set in the usual way and leaves the premises. However the system will ONLY set when an external push button is pressed. The Zone Type of the zone to which the external push button is connected must be programmed as Push to Set.

Entry/Exit

Opening a zone with this Zone Type when the system is set will cause the control panel to start entry mode. This Zone Type would typically be used for a front door magnetic contact or, if one is not fitted, a hall PIR.
The Push to Set option must also be selected (see page 22).
The Final Door Set option (see page 21) will cause the exit time to be reduced to 3 seconds when an Entry/Exit zone is closed during exit mode. This option would typically be used only when there is a magnetic contact on the front door.
If a normally open (N/O) push button is used then the zone should be inverted (see page 32) so that it chimes when the button is pressed rather than when it is released. If the zone is set to chime (see User Guide) then the push button can double up as a doorbell. The external push button should be waterproof unless it is located in an enclosed porch. Push to Set does not operate in part set. Push to Set satisfies the requirements of NACP 14, Issue 1, Section 2.1.2.

Personal Attack

This Zone Type is designed specifically for panic buttons. Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly even when the panel is unset. If activated, they will cause an immediate alarm, sounding both the internal and external sounders.
The Silent PA option (see page 35) will modify this Zone Type to have a silent response (just activation of the PA channel on the communicator interface with no local audible or visible alarm response at all).

Keyswitch

This Zone Type is designed specifically for key switches. Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly. The key switch can be used to full set, unset, silence an alarm and reset the system.

Inhibited Entry

Inhibited Entry is sometimes referred to as 'Intermediate Entry' or 'Walk Through'. Opening a zone with this Zone Type when the panel is set will cause an alarm. During entry mode, activations of a zone with this Zone Type are disregarded. This Zone Type would typically be used for a hall PIR when there is a magnetic contact on the front door.

The Zone Type of any zone can be made to change when the system is part set. The Zone Type can be changed into either Entry/Exit, Inhibited Entry or Guard. It is also possible to program which part set(s) will cause the Zone Type to change. The change will persist until the system is next unset. For example, the tables below show the factory settings:
Part Setting Changes Zone Type Into: Zone Zone Type Entry/Exit Inhibited Entry Guard
If EN 50131-1 Requirements is selected (see page 21) then omitted zones will be re-included when the system is next unset.
When wiring a 24 Hour zone (Fire, PA and Tamper), such as a panic button, using EOL operation it may be more convenient to fit the EOL resistor(s) in the panel than in the detector. Programming the Zone Type

Changing Zones to Guard

The Control Panel has four part sets. Zone Types will only be changed on selected part sets. For example the Control Panel is factory set with Part Sets 1 and 3 selected. Thus Zone Types will only be changed on Part Set 1 and Part Set 3, not on Part Set 2 or Part Set 4. From the Programming Menu, enter currently selected will indicate.
This suite defines the zones which will be changed into Guard zones on the selected part sets. For example the Control Panel is factory set with Zone 1 included. Thus the Zone Type of Zone 1 will be changed (from Entry/Exit) into Guard on Part Sets 1 and 3. From the Programming Menu, enter are currently included will indicate.

Assigning Access Codes

)! - *"
The Control Panel allows up to eight users to operate the alarm system, each user is assigned an Access code, Access Level and User Number. The figure below shows an example of users assigned to a typical alarm system:
User Number: 1 Access Code: 4321 Access Level: Master User Access Type: Customer
User Number: 2 Access Code: 1234 Access Level: Boss Engineer Access Type: Installer
User Number: 3 Access Code: 5678 Access Level: User Access Type: Customer
User Number: 8 Access Code: 2580 Access Level: Cleaner Access Type: Customer
User Number Each user is identified by the alarm system as User 1 through to User 8. Access Code Each user has a programmable 4 digit Personal Identification Number (PIN) which the user enters in order to operate the alarm system. Access Level Each user has a programmable Access Level that determines how the alarm system responds and which of the system facilities the user can access. Each Access Level has an associated number (1 8) which is used when programming the Access Level of a user. There are eight possible user Access Levels:
Entering a PA code will cause an immediate alarm, sounding both the internal and external sounders.

Duress

A Duress code behaves exactly as a User code (Level 1) but will in addition activate the Duress channel on the communicator interface to secretly summon assistance.

Master User

A Master User may set, unset, silence an alarm and reset the system. In addition a Master can test the system outputs (see page 24), perform a Walk Test (see page 24) and view the Basic Log (see page 30). A Master User can also assign new Customer Access code and Access Levels.

Cleaner

If the system is full set or part set then a Cleaner code will automatically omit the Cleaner Suite zones (see page 32) without affecting the other zones. In addition pressing a key will NOT cause the system to start entry mode. On leaving the cleaner should enter their Access code and press either 0 or 1. The / key is disabled and the previous set will be restored irrespective of which key was pressed. A cleaner cannot access chime. Nor can they cancel an alarm or reset the system.
