6 User Manual SATEL
Proximity card – a passive transponder that allows the user to operate the alarm system by
means of a proximity card reader (INT-CR and INT-IT proximity card arm/disarm devices
are provided with the reader).
Reporting – reporting events that occurred in the alarm system to the monitoring station. The
information about occurrence of an event can be transmitted via telephone line, Ethernet
network, etc. The companies offering the alarm system monitoring service undertake to
intervene if specific events occur (e.g. alarms, troubles, etc.).
Service code – a code that allows access to the service mode, as well as some functions in
the user menu.
Service technician – the person whose function is to control operability of the installed alarm
system and its components, as well as to eliminate possible problems. These duties can
be fulfilled by the installer or a person assigned by him.
Siren/beacon – a device providing information about alarms or other events in the alarm
system by means of acoustic or optical signaling.
Tamper alarm – reaction of the alarm system to opening the housing of a device which is
part of the alarm system, tearing off the device from the wall, cutting through the alarm
system cables, etc. Actions taken by the alarm system may be similar as in the event of
alarm, however, if the tamper alarm occurs, it is advisable to call in the installer so that he
can make a checkup.
User – a person which can operate the alarm system, using a code, proximity card or remote
control keyfob.
Warning alarm – in some situations, when the alarm criteria are met, the alarm system does
not take up immediately all the actions provided for in the event of alarm. These actions
are postponed, reaction of the system being limited to signaling warning alarm in keypads,
proximity card arm/disarm devices or on indoor sirens/beacons. Thus the user who made
a mistake when entering the protected area (failed to disarm the system before the entry
delay expires), or moving around the area when the day or night armed mode is activated
(violated the armed zone), has some extra time to disarm the system. Contact your
installer to obtain detailed information on the situations when the alarm will be preceded by
warning alarm.
Zone – 1. a separated portion of the protected area that can supervised by a detector or
detectors. 2. the terminals on control panel/expander electronics board to which you can
connect a detector or another device whose state is to be supervised (panic button, siren
tamper contact, power supply output indicating loss of 230 V AC supply, etc.).
Zone bypassing (inhibiting / isolating) – procedure preventing the alarm from being
triggered by the selected zone when it is in the armed mode. Violations of the zone will be
ignored by the control panel.
Zone violation – a change of the zone status to another, different from that defined for the
normal state (e.g. as a result of motion being sensed by the motion detector, gas being
sensed by the gas detector, etc.).
5. Control Panel Compliance with EN 50131 Standard
Requirements for Grade 2
If the installer has configured the control panel in compliance with the EN 50131 standard
requirements for Grade 2:
1. The user codes should be composed of at least 5 characters.
2. The amount of information provided in the keypads by means of LEDs, display and sound
signaling is limited.
3. Quick arming is not available.
