1.2: Zones
The Penta Plus control panel includes eight security zones plus one tamper zone which
can be defined for use with an ON/OFF keyswitch. The eight security zones are fully programmable and supervised by end of line resistors. The Penta Plus offers a number of
zone response types, including a dedicated fire zone, to suit a wide range of installations.
Each burglary zone can be programmed to activate a siren/bell when tripped or to generate
a silent alarm where only a message is sent to the central station. The following is a
summary of the operational characteristics for each zone response type:
Perimeter Zone
Perimeter zones instantly generate an alarm when opened.
Suggested Use: Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors and windows which
are never used to enter the premises.
Perimeter Zone With Delay
This zone type starts the entry delay when opened, allowing the user time to disarm the
system.
Suggested Use: Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors commonly used to
enter or leave the premises.
Conditional Zone
If a perimeter zone with delay is opened first, conditional zones do not generate an alarm
when opened during the entry delay. If a conditional zone is opened first, an alarm is
generated instantly.
Suggested Use: Detectors protecting the area in which a keypad has been installed or the
area crossed in order to reach the keypad.
-3-

Interior Zone
Interior zones are automatically bypassed when the system is armed using the Stay
command 4, 9.
Suggested Use: Detectors protecting the interior areas in which the user requires
unrestricted movement when Stay arming. For example bedrooms, bathrooms and interior
offices.
24hr Zone
24hr zones always generate an alarm when opened whether the system is armed or
disarmed.
Suggested Use: Panic buttons, glassbreak detectors and areas which require 24 hour
protection.
Fast Loop Perimeter Zone
This zone is a perimeter zone with a 50ms loop response time (compared to 150ms for all
other zone types).
Suggested Use: Shock sensors used to detect attempts to breach the exterior of a
protected area.
Fire Zone
Zone 1 can be defined as a dedicated fire zone and is active 24 hours a day, regardless
whether the system is armed or disarmed. The control panel verifies any alarm received
from this zone in the event of a fire. When the zone is tripped, the panel opens a oneminute time window. During this time, the zone must be tripped again to generate a fire
alarm. If this one-minute period expires without a further detection, the control panel
disregards the first detection. The Fire zone generates an audible alarm with a pulsing bell
pattern.
Suggested Use: Four-wire smoke detectors used to alert in the event of a fire.

1.3: Telephone Communication

The Penta Plus allows for up to two telephone numbers (primary and backup) to be
programmed into the system dedicated to central station communications or for use with
the Follow-me format. An additional number can be programmed for use in conjunction
with the RP callback feature. Up to 16 digits can be programmed for each telephone
number. The Penta Plus offers a number of communication options and supports either
pulse or DTMF dialing.
Central Station Communication
The panels on-board dialer uses the following protocols for central station communication:

Contact ID

20pps 4/2 no parity

-4-

Follow-me
Using the Follow-me feature, the panel informs the user that an event has occurred by
dialing the users telephone number and sounding two beeps. After hearing the two beeps,
pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone sounds a number of tones to indicate exactly which
type of alarm has occurred. The style of tones indicates the type of alarm generated.
Series of short tones

Alarm from burglary zone

1 long tone

F key alarm or alarm from Fire zone

2 long tones

E or P key alarms, zone or keypad tamper

After the alarm tones have sounded, pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone either causes
the panel to hang up or, if additional alarms have occurred, sound another set of alarm
tones. Note: Electronics Line recommends using a telephone unit with Continuous
DTMF mode. If only Burst mode is available it may be necessary to press more than
once. If using the Follow-me feature, program the relevant event codes (addresses
11 18) with any value greater than 00.
Voice Message (3601)
The 3601 is an add-on module that enables the recording of a short message. In the event
of an alarm, the panel dials the users telephone number and this message is played back.
Pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone acknowledges that the message has been received.

1.4: Remote Programming

Electronics Lines remote programming software enables programming and operation from
a PC. The software provides a comprehensive interface to the Penta Plus control panel,
facilitating and cutting down the time taken in programming the system. RP access is
gained using a four digit code programmed at address 77. Without this code all remote
programming and operation is restricted.
Answering Machine Override
Answering machine override enables the control panel to distinguish between regular
incoming calls and a communication attempt by the RP (remote programmer) software. An
RP call is identified by the control panel as a sequence of two calls within a 30-second time
window.
1. The control panel does not answer the first incoming call.
2. The control panel opens a 30-second time window from the moment the telephone
stops ringing.
3. The control panel answers after 1 ring and RP communication is established.
This method enables the panel to share the same telephone line with answering machines
and fax machines.
RP Callback
RP call back is a toll-saver feature that makes remote programming more cost-effective.
When the remote programmer contacts the panel, the panel hangs up and calls the
telephone number programmed at address 76.

3.4: Arming/Disarming
The following section explains the various arming and disarming methods.
Arming
When all zones are secured the system can be armed normally. Arming the system
transmits a message to the central station identifying which user performed the
operation.
To arm the system:
1. Check that all zones are closed; the Ready LED lights up to indicate that the system
is ready to be armed.
2. Enter a valid user code; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.
Forced Arming
Forced arming enables the user to arm the system with open zones. Electronics Line
recommends waiting until all of the zones are secured and the system can be armed
normally. Note: If zones are still not secured after the exit delay has ended, an
alarm will be generated.
To force arm the system:
1. Press 4, 8.
2. Enter a valid user code; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.
Quick Arming
This feature allows the Penta Plus to be armed without a valid user code. Quick arming
the system transmits an Armed by User 1 message to the central station.
To Quick arm the system:
1. Check that all zones are closed; the Ready LED lights up to indicate that the system
is ready to be armed.
2. Press 4, 0; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.

-12-

Stay Arming
This feature only arms perimeter zones i.e. Perimeter, Perimeter with Delay and Fast
Loop Perimeter zones. This allows the user to stay within the protected area while the
system is armed.
To Stay arm the system:
1. Check that all zones are closed apart from the interior zones; the Ready LED lights
up to indicate that the system is ready to be armed.
2. Press 4, 9.
3. Enter a valid user code; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.
Immediate Arming
The system can be armed without an entry/exit delay. Pressing 4 during the exit delay or
when the system is armed cancels both the exit and entry delay times.
Note: It is not recommended to use this feature with an external keypad.
Disarming
The Penta Plus can be disarmed by entering a valid user code during the entry delay. If
an error is made entering the code, press # and enter the code again. When the code is
accepted the Armed LED and the pulsed delay tone are turned off. If the correct code is
not entered by the end of the delay time, an alarm will be generated.
Keyswitch Arming/Disarming
The system can be armed and disarmed using an ON/OFF keyswitch. The keyswitch has
two operation modes.

Latching closing the keyswitch arms the system, opening disarms the system.

Momentary opening and closing the keyswitch either arms or disarms the system.

3.5: Distress Keys

In the case of an emergency, 3 types of alarms can be generated by pressing and
holding down the desired distress key for more than 2 seconds. These alarms will send
the relevant distress codes to the central station. The distress keys are as follows:

FIRE: Sounds the fire bell, sends the Fire event code to the central station
(address 24) and registers in the Emergency/Trouble event log.

EMERGENCY: Sends the Emergency event code to the central station

(address 25), sounds the siren (if programmed at address 01) and registers
in the Emergency/Trouble event log.

POLICE: Sends the Police event code to the central station (address 26),
sounds the siren (if programmed at address 01) and registers in
the Emergency/Trouble event log.

-13-

3.6: User Codes

The Penta Plus is capable of maintaining four user codes, a duress code and an installer
code. Each of these codes are four digits long. Of the four user codes, only User Code 1
(default 1111) has authorization to modify other user codes and the duress code. The
installers code (default 1234) is the only user code which grants access to the
programming parameters and is programmable at address 79.
To program user codes 1-4:
1. Press 4, 5.
2. Enter User Code 1; the Armed and System LEDs flash and the zone LEDs indicate
the programming status of each user code as follows:

Perimeter zones are armed during both regular and Stay arming and
can be defined with or without an exit delay.

Periodic Test

The periodic test event code is sent to the central station every 24
hours to indicate that the system is functional.

-26-

PGM Output
Primary
Telephone Number

Programmable output for connecting additional system status

indicators.
The first telephone number dialed when an event occurs. If
communication can not be established with the Primary telephone the
the Backup telephone number is dialed.

Q
Quick Arming

Arming the system without the need for a valid user code.

R
Ready

The state in which all zones are closed and the system is ready to be
armed.

Remote
Programmer

The software developed by Electronics Line used for programming the

system using a PC from a remote location or on-site.

Restore

The restoral of a trouble condition to its normal state. For example, if

AC power is reconnected, an AC Loss Restore event code is sent to
the central station.

RP
RP Access Code

Abbreviation of Remote Programmer

The code that grants access to the remote programmer. The RP
Access Code prevents the system being sabotaged using
unauthorized remote programming.

S
Silent Alarm

An alarm that does not activate the bell/siren when generated.

Stay Arming

Arming the perimeter of the system while allowing free movement in

the interior zones.

Stop

ELECTRONICS LINE (E.L.) LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES - LIMITED WARRANTY

ELECTRONICS LINE (E. L.) LTD. AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES (hereafter E.L.) warrants its products to be free
from manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship for 2 years following the date of sale. E.L. will, within
said period, at its option and in accordance with the terms of this Limited Warranty, repair or replace any product
failing to operate correctly without charge to the original purchaser or user. In case of defect, contact the security
professional who installed and maintains your security system. In order to exercise the warranty, the product must
be returned by the user or purchaser, shipping costs prepaid and insured to E.L. E.L. will not be responsible for
any dismantling or reinstallation changes.
This warranty shall not apply to any equipment, or any part thereof, which has been repaired by others,
improperly installed, improperly used, abused, altered, damaged, subjected to acts of God, or on which any serial
numbers have been altered, defaced or removed, or on a product in which the fault does not prevent the use of
the product at the installation site, or in the system to which the product is connected.
There is no express or implied warranty of merchantability or warranty of fitness for a particular
purpose. Any action for breach of warranty, including but not limited to any implied warranty of merchantability,
must be brought within the six months following the end of the warranty period. In no case shall E.L. be liable to
anyone for any consequential or incidental damages for breach of this or any other warranty, express or implied,
even if the loss or damage is caused by the E.L.'s own negligence or fault.
In no event shall E.L. be liable for an amount in excess of E.L.'s original selling price of the product, for any loss
or damage, whether direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or otherwise arising out of any failure of the
product. CONSEQUENTLY, E.L. SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY FOR ANY PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY
DAMAGE, OR OTHER LOSS BASED ON A CLAIM THE PRODUCT FAILED TO GIVE WARNING. E.L.'s
warranty, as herein above set forth, shall not be enlarged, diminished or affected by and no obligation or liability
shall arise or grow out of E.L.'s rendering of technical advice or service in connection with Buyers order of the
goods furnished hereunder.
This warranty contains the entire warranty. Additionally, this warranty is in lieu of all other obligations
or liabilities on the part of E.L. It is the sole warranty and any prior agreements or representations,
whether oral or written, are either merged herein or are expressly canceled. E.L. neither assumes, nor
authorizes any other person purporting to act on its behalf to modify, to change, or to assume for it, any
other warranty or liability concerning its products.
E.L. RECOMMENDS THAT THE ENTIRE SYSTEM BE COMPLETELY TESTED WEEKLY.
Warning: Despite frequent testing, and due to, but not limited to, any or all of the following: criminal tampering,
electrical or communications disruption, it is possible for the system to fail to perform as expected. E.L. does not
represent that the product/system may not be compromised or circumvented; or that the product or system will
prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; nor that the product or system
will in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. A properly installed and maintained alarm may only
reduce risk of burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise but it is not insurance or a guarantee that these events will not
occur. Therefore, the installer should in turn advise the consumer to take any and all precautions for his or her
safety including, but not limited to, fleeing the premises and calling police or fire department, in order to mitigate
the possibilities of harm and/or damage.
E.L. is not an insurer of either the property or safety of the user's family or employees, and limits its
liability for any loss or damage including incidental or consequential damages to E.L.s original selling
price of the product regardless of the cause of such loss or damage. If the user wishes to protect itself to
a greater extent, E.L. will, at user's sole cost and expense, obtain an insurance policy to protect the user,
supplemental to user's own policy, at a premium to be determined by E.L.'s insurer upon written notice
from user by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to E.L.'s home office address, and upon payment
of the annual premium cost by user.
Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or differentiate in their treatment of limitations of liability for
ordinary or gross negligence, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives
you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
