1. Introduction to the IDS 816
The IDS 816 is a versatile, microprocessor based eight zone Alarm Panel. It has two partitions and can be
expanded to sixteen zones. Most features are optional and may be programmed either directly through
the keypads or via the telephone system, using the IDS download software and appropriate modem.
There are eight programmable burglary zones, a dedicated panic zone, monitored siren output, auxiliary
power outputs and five programmable outputs, which may be programmed to perform various,
trigger/switching functions.
For correct operation, the IDS 816 must be used in conjunction with the specified transformer/battery
combination and appropriate peripheral sensors and signalling devices.
1.1 Features of the IDS 816

Eight programmable, end-of-line supervised zone inputs

Expandable to sixteen zones via keypad zones, zone expander module, zone doubling or
wireless expansion.

2 partitions

Optional tamper reporting per zone using double end-of-line resistors (12K and 4K7)

Fully programmable digital telephone communicator that supports most industry standard
formats.

Five programmable outputs on alarm panel. Expandable to seven when using Wired Zone
Expander module.

Non volatile EEPROM memory retains all program and event log data in the event of a total power
failure

Programmable loop response time

Up and downloadable using IDS Windows based software, either directly via RS 232 or remotely
using a modem.

Excellent protection against lightning (provided by specialised “zap tracking” and transient
suppressors)

Auto arm/disarm capability per partition and by day of the week. The panel can be programmed
to arm/disarm at a pre-determined time

Fax defeat/answering machine override

Dual reporting provides for duplicated reporting to two independent central base stations.

Dynamic battery self test

Low battery cut out circuit
