1. Introduction
The Menvier40 and Menvier100 are control units
for hybrid wired/wirefree alarm systems intended
for domestic, commercial or industrial use.
Both control units have identical hardware, but the
Menvier40 can handle up to 40 zones, while the
Menvier100 can handle up to 100 zones. See the
Menvier40/100/300 Engineering Guide
for a list of
other software differences.
The Menvier40/100 control unit comprises a steel
case containing the control unit PCB (printed
circuit board), power supply and space for a
backup battery (not supplied).
The control unit PCB provides terminals for a
single bus. The bus allows you to connect up to
20 peripheral devices to the Menvier40 and up to
45 peripheral devices to the Menvier100. The bus
cabling uses standard four wire alarm cable. The
peripheral devices can be any mixture of keypads,
zone expanders (for wireless or wired detectors)
or remote power supplies.
The control unit PCB also provides a range of
connectors for outputs, communicators, and up to
10 FSL (Fully Supervised Loop), 10 2-wire Closed
Circuit Loop (CCL) or five 4-wire CC (Closed
Circuit) zones.
The control unit uses i-kp01 keypads with
software revision 3.02 and above. The keypads
allow end users to set and unset the system, and
the installer to configure the control unit. The i-
kp01 keypad also contains an integral proximity
tag reader, allowing end users to control the
system without having to remember access
codes.
Note that to work correctly the control unit must be
fitted with at least one wired keypad.
The following types of keypad are also available
for connection to the Menvier40/100:
KEY-K01
This keypad has no internal prox
reader, and is supplied in a square
format plastic case.
KEY-KP01 This product, supplied in the same
case as the KEY-K01, has an internal
prox reader and also provides
terminals for an external prox reader
KEY-EP
KEY-
KPZ01
This product, is supplied in the
same plastic case as the KEY-K01,
has an internal prox reader and also
provides terminals for up to two
zones, a programmable output, and
an external prox reader KEY-EP
A range of wireless peripherals is available for
operation with the wireless expanders. These
include a door contact/universal transmitter, a
passive infra red detector, smoke detector,
external siren, 4 button remote control, and
remote radio keypad.
This control unit is designed and approved to be
used as part of a Security Grade 3 system. The
control unit is also approved to operate as part of
a Security Grade 2 system. If you install any radio
devices this will limit approval to Security Grade 2
in the ward in which they are used.
Communications
The control unit contains a built-in ATS2
communicator, allowing it to comply with EN50131
at Security Grade 2.
The control unit also provides sockets for an add-
on communication module. The available modules
are:
i-dig02
(ATS2)
A switched telephone network (PSTN)
module that allows the control unit to
report alarm information using
standard protocols such as Fast
Format, SIA and Contact ID, and can
also send text messages over the
Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN). The i-dig02 also allows
remote maintenance using
Eaton’s
Security Business Downloader
software.
i-sd02
(ATS2)
A speech dialler and PSTN module
that allows the control unit to send
recorded speech messages and report
alarm information using standard
protocols such as Fast Format, SIA
and Contact ID. The module can also
send text messages over the PSTN.
The i-sd02 also allows remote
maintenance using
Eaton’s Security
Business Downloader software.
i-gsm02
(ATS2)
A GSM module that allows alarm
reporting, speech messaging and
SMS text messaging over the mobile
phone network. Note that a SIM card
is not included with the module.
Note: Fitting a plug on module disables the
internal communicator.
For the Menvier40/100 to comply with EN50131 at
Security Grade 2 you must fit an ATS2
communicator (for example the i-sd02).
To be approved at Security Grade 3 use the plug-
by communicator outputs to connect the control
unit to an ATS4 communicator.
Level Setting or Ward based system
The control unit offers two basic ways of behaving
as an alarm system:
Part Setting
. In a Part Setting system the control
unit can set in one of four ways: either Full set or
three varieties of Part Set. In Full set the control
