4. Press ▼ to display the release levels for the other devices connected to the bus. The inserters are displayed as
«Ins.y Vxx», the keyboards are displayed as «Tas.y Vxx», and the expansions are displayed as «Esp.y Vxx»,
where “y” indicates the number of the inserter, keyboard or expansion, and “xx” indicates the software version.

2.7 PROGRAMMING THE INPUTS
2.7.1 TYPES OF INPUTS
Programming the control unit and expansion alarm inputs determines the type of the control unit response to the
signals from the detector connected to the input. Among the specializations for the alarm inputs are:
•
Break-in
: it actuates the siren and light signals, in addition to the programmed telephone numbers and electric
outputs, when a detector signals an attempt at break-in. The break-in signalling (and its respective alarm) will
come into action only when the relevant input is ON. Its operation may be:
o
Instant
: if the sector to which the input belongs is ON, a break-in attempt signal will immediately trigger an
alarm.
o
Delayed
: when an input is actuated, no alarm will be triggered until the exit time elapses, even if the
connected detector signals an attempt at break-in (e.g. a door is opened, or someone steps in front of an
infrared detector): the input will merely indicate “Open Input”. When the input is ON and a detector signals an
attempt at break-in (e.g. a door is opened), the entry time will be started. If the input has not been turned
OFF after the above entry time has elapsed, the control unit will cause the alarms (sirens, light signals, etc.)
to be triggered. WARNING! If a door is left open when the system is actuated, the alarm will not be triggered
after only the exit time elapses: a time period equal to the exit time plus the entry time shall elapse.. In fact,
the actual break-in attempt signal will be emitted only after the exit time has elapsed (from that time on, the
entry time count will be started, and the alarm will be triggered when the entry time is over).
o
Final Exit
: this is a Delayed operation variant and is used to actuate, almost immediately, the break-in
protection when the places to be protected are empty, thus actually cancelling the exit time delay. Moreover,
it leaves the non-“Final exit” delayed inputs out of the entry time delay (provided that such inputs are the first
ones to be actuated), and actually equalizes them to the instant inputs. There is no limit to the number of
inputs that can be configured as “Final exit”. The graphic example illustrated hereinafter may help you to
better understand the “Final exit” operation.
Furthermore, the property below may be enabled to the “Break-in” inputs:
o
Chime
: when the sector is OFF, opening the input will actuate for 5 seconds the outputs set for the event,
including the keyboard buzzers (if the sector is ON, the input opening will be managed as a break-in).
•
Robbery
: it will actuate only the telephone alarms (the control unit must be equipped with a telephone interface)
and the preset electric outputs, without causing the sirens and visual signals to come into action. This mode
allows the user to send out a silent alarm when he/she is being threatened by the criminals, e.g. by pressing a
button or disabling, under threat, the system with the antitheft code (the last digit of the code will be increased
by one unit, e.g. by typing in ...5 instead of ...4; ...9 will turn to ... 0). The input is always ON (24-h). Opening the
input will actuate the outputs set for the event for 1 minute.
•
Panic
: it actuates the main siren and the electric outputs preset for “Panic”. It sends out telephone alarms for
help request. The input is always ON (24-h). Opening the input will actuate the outputs set for the event for 1
minute.
•
Technological
: it actuates the output preset for this event. The input is always ON (24-h). Opening the input will
actuate the outputs set for the event for 1 minute.
•
Fire
: it actuates the output preset for this event, including the main siren (if programmed). The input is always
ON (24-h). Opening the input will actuate the outputs set for the event for 1 minute.
•
In/Out
: when the input is opened, it actuates the corresponding electric output as long as the input remains
open. It is ON on a 24-hour basis. By properly interfacing the lighting system and its connection to the electric
output, you may, for instance, cause the light to be turned on when an infrared detector senses people passing
by.
•
Key
(only for the control unit inputs): it makes it possible to actuate/deactivate specific sectors correlated to the
input, and is managed only in the impulsive mode. Typical use includes actuating or deactivating, e.g. by remote
control through a radio, special sectors that can be freely correlated. The input is always ON (24-h). The “Key”
programmed inputs cannot be left out.
The expansion auxiliary inputs can be programmed only in two modes:
•
Generic failure
.
•
Presence of network voltage
: it allows you to check that the network voltage (230 V~) is always available
locally for the self-powered expansion modules with an auxiliary power supply unit.
