GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
The CA-6 alarm control panel is a state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based device, made with
the use of automatic surface mount technology.
Its comprehensive features and affordable price permit application of the CA-6 both in small
and medium-size security alarm systems and in systems with special requirements.
Basic functional features:
• operating the panel from LED keypads,
• remote control by means of a telephone set (selected functions) – support of the
MST-1 module,
• possibility of two-partition operation, with completely separate alarm systems, or
common zone partitions or internal partitions,
• 8 fully programmable zone inputs, each being able to perform any of 20 functions,
• support of any detectors in NO, NC, EOL and 2EOL configuration,
• 5 programmable outputs, each being able to perform any of 41 functions
• built-in telephone communicator for:
− messaging to two monitoring stations,
− messaging alarm condition via pager systems,
− messaging alarm condition with voice announcement,
− remote service from a modem equipped computer
• intelligent analysis of telephone exchange signals, which enables an alarm voice
message to be sent after answering the call,
• support of NOKTON radio messaging in PC16OUT format,
• built-in RS-232 (TTL) interface for direct programming of the control panel from
computer,
• internal clock for automatically arming / disarming partitions with TIMER function,
• operation by 13 users, whose access codes can have different authority level and can
be assigned to one partition or to both partitions,
• possibility to control users by saving in memory the password entry operation
• possibility to supervise guard rounds with TIMER function,
• nonvolatile memory of 255 last events, which gathers information about arming,
disarming, alarms, troubles, etc., with date and time of occurrence, and panel user
number,
• nonvolatile memory of all parameters and the last condition of the control panel.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Zones
In its basic configuration, the CA-6 control panel has 8 zones: 6 on the panel main board and
2 in the keypad. The zones can support any detectors in the configuration NC, NO, EOL,
2EOL/NC, 2EOL/NO. The use of 2EOL configuration enables the panel to simultaneously
control the detector and its tamper circuit by means of one pair of wires.
