EN 50131
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the following points should be noted:
Ensure for Grade 3 compliant systems, the minimum PIN length is set for 6 digits.
To comply with EN 50131-1 Engineer access must first be authorized by a user, therefore Installer codes will
only be accepted when the system is unset. If additional restriction is required then Engineer access may be
time limited to the first 30 seconds after the system is unset.
Reporting delay –Violation off the entry path during the entry delay countdown will trigger a warning alarm. The
warning alarm should not cause a main alarm signal and is not reported at this time. It can be signaled locally,
visually and or by internal siren type. If the zone is not disarmed within 30 seconds, the entry delay has expired
or another instant is violated, the main alarm will be triggered and reported.
To comply with EN 50131-1 neither Internals Only on Part Set Zone Alarm nor Internals Only on Part Set
Tamper Alarm should be selected.
To comply with EN 50131-1 Single Button Setting should not be selected.
To comply with EN 50131-1 only one battery can be connected and monitored per system. If more capacity is
required a single larger battery must be used.
Anti Masking
To comply with EN 50131-1 Grade 3 for Anti Masking, detectors with a separate or independent mask signal
should be used and the mask output should be connected to another input zone.
I.e. Use 2 input zones per detector. One zone input for alarm/tamper and one zone input for masking.
To comply with EN 50131-1:
do not fit more than 10 unpowered detectors per zone,
do not fit more than one non-latching powered detector per zone,
do not mix unpowered detectors and non-latching powered detectors on a zone.
To comply with EN 50131-1 the Entry Timer should not be programmed to more than 45 seconds.
To comply with EN 50131-1 the Bell Cut-Off Time should be programmed between 02 and 15 minutes.
EN 50131-1 requires that detector activation LEDs shall only be enabled during Walk Test. This is most
conveniently achieved by using detectors with a Remote LED Disable input.
To comply with EN 50131: Only one battery can be connected and monitored per system. If more capacity is
required, a single, larger battery must be used.
