GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
The CA-6 alarm control panel is a microprocessor-based device, made with the use of
automatic surface mount technology.
Its comprehensive features and affordable price permit application of the CA-6 both in small
and medium-size security alarm systems and in systems with special requirements.
Basic functional features:
•
operating the panel from LED keypads,
•
remote control by means of a telephone set (selected functions) – support of the
MST-1 module
,
•
possibility of
two-partition
operation, with completely separate alarm systems, or
common zone partitions or internal partitions,
•
8 fully programmable zone inputs
, each being able to perform any of 20 functions,
•
support of any detectors in NO, NC, EOL and 2EOL configuration,
•
5 programmable outputs
, each being able to perform any of 41 functions,
•
built-in
telephone communicator
for:
−
messaging to
two monitoring stations
,
−
messaging alarm condition via
pager
systems,
−
messaging alarm condition with
voice announcement
,
−
remote service
from a modem equipped computer,
•
intelligent analysis of telephone exchange signals, which enables an alarm voice
message to be sent after answering the call,
•
support of NOKTON radio messaging in PC16OUT format,
•
built-in port
RS-232 TTL
(the RJ socket is provided on the PCB version v5.2)
for direct
programming of the control panel from computer,
•
internal clock
for automatically arming/disarming partitions with TIMER function,
•
operation by
13 users,
whose access codes can have different authority level and can
be assigned to one partition or to both partitions,
•
possibility to control users by
saving in memory the password entry operation
,
•
possibility to
supervise guard rounds
with TIMER function,
•
nonvolatile
memory of 255 last events,
which gathers information about arming,
disarming, alarms, troubles, etc., with date and time of occurrence, and panel user
number,
•
nonvolatile memory of all parameters and the last condition of the control panel.
DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
Zones
In its basic configuration, the CA-6 control panel has 8 zones: 6 on the panel main board and
2 in the keypad. The zones can support any detectors in the configuration NC, NO, EOL,
2EOL/NC, 2EOL/NO. The use of 2EOL configuration enables the panel to simultaneously
control the detector and its tamper circuit by means of one pair of wires.
