ALARM PANEL CA-4M 

INSTALLATION MANUAL 

 

The alarm panel CA-4M is designed for small alarm systems. It is dedicated to easy-
use-by-user and to work with all motion detector and alarm siren types. 

I. PANEL DESCRIPTION 

  The alarm panel CAf has 4 parametric zones (the parametric resistor value is 

2200ohm) including one 24h zone. Any type of detectors can be attached to the 
zones (e.g. infrared, magnetic or ultrasound detectors) of both NO and NC types. 

  The violation of the zones is indicated by red LED diodes. The non-violated state 

is determined by the 2200ohm resistor connection and the violated state is 
determined by opening or shortening the zone. The 24h zone is instantly 
connected with the panel casing, but it does not interfere with connecting other 
detectors or sensors to this zone. For each zone the responsible LED diode lights 
if the zone is violated (the lighting is of a higher priority than flashing upon alarm). 

  Each panel zone is equipped with an individual alarm memory. In the case of a 

zone alarm the common ALARM LED diode lights and the LED diode 
corresponding to the alarming zone flashes quickly. Each zone causes an alarm 
upon the violation beginning (i.e. on the rising violation edge, not on the violation 
level). The common ALARM LED diode lights until the panel is disarmed, since 
the individual alarm memory LED diodes flash until the panel is armed again. 

  Normal zones (i.e. all excluding the 24h one) can be bypassed. This can be done 

only in the disarmed state of the panel. The bypassed zones are indicated by a 
slow flashing of the corresponding LED diode. The indication disappears at the 
armed state of the panel, and in this state no bypasses can be manipulated. 

  Zone bypasses are managed by switching the switches at the front of the panel 

casing. The upper position of the switch means the zone is bypassed (the 
according LED diode flashes slowly) and the lower position means the zone is not 
bypassed. The bypasses can not be altered while the panel is armed. 

  The 24h zone can be utilised both as a tamper and a burglary one. 

  For normal zones (i.e. all excluding the 24h one) the exit time can be adjusted in 

the range of about 5-120 sec. The exit time lasts from switching on the arming 
lock. The yellow LED diode indicates the panel state: it lights if the panel is 
armed, it flashes during the exit time and it is off if the panel is disarmed. 

  The first zone can be a delayed one, if the DLY connector is shortened to the 

ground (COM). The entry time for this zone can be then adjusted in the range of 
about 5-120 sec. Other zones are always instant. 

  The alarm panel CA-4M has two outputs for acoustic sirens and an independent 

output for an optical indicator. 

  The sirens signal time can be adjusted in the range of about 10-300 sec. The 

output for optical indication remains in active state after alarm until the panel is 
disarmed. 

  All outputs and detectors supply are fuse protected.
