USER MANUAL
WARNING
In order to avoid any operational problems with the control panel, it is recommended that you
read carefully this manual before you start using the equipment.
Making any construction changes or unauthorized repairs is forbidden. This applies, in
particular, to modification of assemblies and components. Maintenance or repair operations
should be performed by authorized personnel (i.e. the installer or factory service).
The control panel can only work with analog subscriber lines. Connecting the telephone
circuit directly to a digital network (e.g. ISDN) will result in damage to the equipment.
If the analog telephone network is to be replaced by the digital one, please consult the
installer of your security system.

Pay special attention if the telephone line used by the control panel is frequently busy and/or
failures are reported concerning the line and/or monitoring. Report such situations to the
alarm system installer immediately.

CAUTION!
The alarm system is fitted with a battery which contains lead. After expiry of its service, the
battery must not be thrown away, but disposed of as required by the existing regulations
(European Union Directives 91/157/EEC and 93/86/EEC).

1. TECHNICAL RELIABILITY OF THE SECURITY SYSTEM

The security system is built of technical devices, the reliability of which is vital for
effectiveness of the site protection. The security system elements are exposed to a variety of
outside factors, including the weather conditions (outside sirens), lightning (overhead
telephone lines, power lines, outside sirens), mechanical damage (keypads, detectors. etc.).
Maintaining a high level of the security system reliability is only possible by current control of
the functioning of particular devices.
The control panel is equipped with a number of safeguards and auto diagnostic functions
intended for testing the system reliability. The control panel signals trouble detection by
switching on the [TROUBLE] LED on the keypad. Such a situation requires an
immediate response and, if necessary, consultation with the installer.
It is necessary to periodically test the security system functioning. Make sure that the control
panel reacts to violation of individual detectors, that their field of vision is not blocked, that
there is a reaction to the opening of protected doors and windows, and that the functioning of
sirens and telephone monitoring is correct.
The installer should provide specific instructions on how the system should be tested. It is
recommended that periodical surveys be carried out by the installer, as requested by the
user.
The user, in his own interest, should anticipate unexpected alarm conditions and plan
adequate procedures. It is vital to be able to verify the alarm, to determine its source based
on the keypad information, and to take appropriate measures, e.g. to organize evacuation.

2. ALARM SYSTEM OPERATING COSTS

The main task of the control panel is signaling and efficient reporting of alarm situations and,
as far as the monitoring function is concerned, keeping the monitoring station informed about
the protected facility status. Performance of these functions is to a large extent based on the
use of a telephone line, which entails generating certain costs. Generally, the level of costs
incurred by the alarm system owner depends on the amount of information the control panel
has to transfer to the monitoring station. A failure of the telephone links, as well as incorrect
programming of the control panel, may considerably increase these costs. Such a situation is
usually related to an excessive number of connections made.
The installer can adjust functioning of the alarm system to the specific conditions and the
type of protected site, however it is the user who should decide if his or her priority is
transferring information at any price, or, if some technical problems occur, the control panel is
allowed to skip some events, the reception of which has not been confirmed by the
monitoring station.

3. GENERAL FEATURES
The CA-5 alarm control panel is an advanced, microprocessor based device designed for
burglary and panic alarm systems. It is characterized by simplicity of operation, legibility of
information for the user, and a high operational reliability. It has been fitted with a telephone
communicator (dialer) which enables the security system to operate together with
a monitoring station.
The control panel is intended for a variety of sites, including apartments, detached houses,
warehouses, stores, kiosks, etc.
CA-5 SATEL 3

4. OPERATION
This manual contains description of operating
the CA-5 alarm control panel by means of the
keypad.
Operating the security system consists basically
in arming/disarming the system (switching the
supervision on/off), and in adequate reaction to
the information indicated by the control panel.
By means of the control panel keypad, it is
possible to trigger special alarms (PANIC, FIRE,
HELP), to bypass the zones, to establish
communication with the service computer, and
also to control external electrical equipment,
such as: electromagnetic lock, fan, lighting, etc.
The keypad provides information on the security
system status by means of 10 light emitting
diodes (LED) and audible signals.
The LCD keypad provides information on the
alarm system status by means of a liquid-crystal
display (2x16 characters), three light emitting
diodes (LEDs), as well as audible signals. Fig. 1. CA-5 KLED-S keypad

The LCD keypads are available in two versions i.e. (CA-5 KLCD-L and CA-5 KLCD-S) that
differ in their overall dimensions and the display size.
The backlighting of keypad and display can be permanent or switched on automatically by
pressing a key, or, alternatively, by violation of any control panel zone when in armed mode –
the manner of backlight operation should be determined by the installer.
The letters on number keys help the user memorize the code by associating it with
a particular word (e.g. the „[2][6][2][7][2]” code corresponds to the word „COBRA”).

4 USER MANUAL CA-5

Note: Access to all functions of the control panel in version 2.10 is provided by: LCD
keypads in program version 1.08 and later, and CA-5 KLED-S keypads in version1.1
and later.

4.1 LED FUNCTIONS

The LED indicators inform the user about the security system status:
ALARM (red color) – the LED is on during alarm conditions, and goes out after alarm
reset. Blinking of the LED indicates there was an alarm in the system (alarm memory).
ARMED (green color ) – the LED is on when the system is armed (the LED can be
optionally extinguished by the control panel 3 minutes after arming). Blinking of the
LED indicates that exit countdown is running.
TROUBLE (yellow color) – blinking of the LED indicates a trouble in the security system.
The LED will be extinguished after the trouble cause is cleared, or the function of
current trouble checkup is executed (key 7 function)..
POWER (green color) – the LED indicates the control panel power status:
ON – mains supply and battery OK,
blinking – low battery,
OFF – AC loss.
PROGRAMMING (red color ) – the LED indicates the control panel is being programmed
from the keypad:
ON – the control panel is in the service mode; press successively the [0][#]
keys to return to the normal operating mode,
blinking slowly – indicates entering the user functions menu,
blinking fast – indicates entering the service / user function, reviewing the
alarm / trouble memory.
1…5 - (red color) LEDs indicating the status of system zones:
ON – zone violated,
blinking fast – alarm memory (the zone triggered alarm, but is not violated any
more),
blinking very fast – memory of the first violation when armed (the zone
triggered alarm, or was violated as first when armed, but is not violated any
more),
ON with a short extinguishment every 2 seconds – detector tamper (2EOL
zone type),
flashing every 2 seconds – tamper memory (detector was tampered – 2EOL
zone type),
blinking slowly – zone bypassed (indicated only with the partition disarmed).
Notes:
Depending on the options set, the zone alarm memory is active until disarming and alarm
clearing, or until performing alarm log review with the system previously disarmed, or,
alternatively, until rearming the system.
If, with the control panel armed, an ENTRY/EXIT or DELAYED zone is violated as the first one,
and then another zone triggers alarm, the memory of the first alarm will be assigned to the
zone which was violated first.
If, after violation of an ENTRY/EXIT or DELAYED zone, the system becomes disarmed
without triggering any alarm, the memory of the first alarm (violation) will be
automatically reset.
CA-5 SATEL 5

Some of the LED indicators are only installed in the LED type keypads, their functions in
the LCD keypads being taken over by the display.

4.2 STATUS OF CONTROL PANEL ARMED ZONES IN LCD KEYPAD

The first five characters (counting from the left) in the LCD display lower line indicate the
state of detectors attached to the control panel armed zones. Stated below are the symbols
which may be displayed there, as well as their respective meanings:
– the zone is free (not violated)
– the zone is violated
– 2EOL zone tamper violated
a – the zone caused an alarm condition (alarm memory)
A – the zone has been violated or caused alarm as the first one (counting from the
moment of ending the exit delay countdown after arming – see notes in the section
on LED FUNCTIONS)
s – zone triggered the tamper alarm (memory of 2EOL zone tamper alarm)
S – tamper alarm caused as the first one (for 2EOL zone)
b – the zone is bypassed

4.3 CONDITIONS SIGNALED ACOUSTICALLY IN THE KEYPAD

The beeps generated to confirm the operation on the keypad:
one short – confirmation of pressing a key; activation of the review function in the keypad
(HOLD DOWN: 5, 6, 7)
three short – confirmation of entering the mode of user functions programming;
deactivation of the chime signaling in the keypad (key 8), reset of the DURESS ALARM output
activity,
one long (lasting approx. 1.5s) – an attempt to arm the system when the control panel is
not ready (there are violated or tampered zones with the “PRIORITY” option activated – see
„Arming”), a refusal to enter the function,
two long – a wrong access code, canceling a function or incorrect data for a function,
three long – the code is recognized but because of some reasons the calling function is
not available or it can not be perform at the moment (e.g. in case of the attempt to view
a troubles memory when system is armed),
four short, one long – arming/disarming, entering the service mode, successful
completion of function programming, activating the chime signaling in the keypad.
six short – partial arming (there are some zones bypassed).
System events signaling:
continuous beep – alarm,
intermittent beep – fire alarm,
one short beep every 3 seconds – service mode (with the
[PROGRAMMING] LED on),
one long beep every 3 seconds – indicates exit delay time countdown,
two short beeps every 1.5 seconds. – indicates entry delay time countdown,
five short beeps – violation of the "CHIME" type zone.
Which events are to be signaled acoustically should be determined by the installer.
6 USER MANUAL CA-5

4.4 EVENTS SIGNALED ON THE OUT1 OUTPUT

The installer may activate the signaling of arming/disarming and alarm clearing on the OUT1
output. If this output controls the siren operation, it will generate short sounds (in much the
same way as in the car alarm systems). The signals have the following meanings :
one short sound – arming,
two short sounds – disarming,
four short sounds – clearing the alarm or disarming and clearing the alarm.
Additionally, the OUT1 output signals the typical situations for the security system:
continuous signal – burglary alarm,
intermittent signal 1s/1s – fire alarm.
The installer may select the identical manner of signaling for the fire alarm and for the
burglary alarm (i.e. the continuous signal), he can also, with the use of a corresponding
service function, disable the OUT1 output signaling of arming/disarming from the keypad.

4.5 USER ACCESS CODES

For everyday operation of the system it is necessary to know the user access code (the
access code is a sequence of 4 to 8 digits within the range of 0–9).
To enter the access code in the control panel, press the corresponding keys on the keypad in
the order of the code digits and finish the full sequence by pressing the [#] or [*] keys (as may
be required). The control panel comes with the following factory settings:
master user access code: 1234;
service code: 12345.
By using the master user code you can program 5 additional user access codes, or to
delete them if they were programmed before.
The installer can assign specific authority levels to some of the access codes to distinguish
them from the other user codes:
Access code No. 4 – action under duress (disarming or alarm clearing by means of this
code results in sending a special code to the monitoring station, and activating the DURESS
ALARM output)
access code cannot be changed with the user function 1;
the code does not reset activity of the DURESS ALARM output.
Access code No. 5 - does not disarm for other users – permits disarming only when the
same access code was used for arming the system, which makes it possible to control
(block) access to the site for the user who has such an access code at his disposal.
The installer has access to some of the user functions (service code ending with [*]).
However, the service code cannot arm and/or disarm the system, set the service access time
and add or delete the users.

4.6 ARMED MODE OF THE CONTROL PANEL

In order to adjust the security system to various situations, the CA-5 control panel offers
several armed modes:
4.6.1 Full armed mode
The operating mode when detectors connected to the control panel control the
protected site and violation of the protected areas is signaled by the control panel with
any available means (monitoring, sirens, keypad).
CA-5 SATEL 7

4.6.2 Silent armed mode

The supervision mode during which the alarms are transmitted to the monitoring station,
signaled in the keypad, and on the KEYPAD ALARM type of output.
4.6.3 Partial armed mode with no exit from the site
The armed mode with automatic bypassing of the zones (detectors) assigned by the
installer. If, after arming the system, the user has not left the site and has not violated
the entry/exit monitoring line during the exit delay, the selected zones of the control
panel will be automatically bypassed, and activation of the detectors connected to those
zones will trigger no alarm.

4.7 ARMING [CODE][#]

The arming is only possible when the system is signaling no alarm and it is not in the armed
mode: the [ALARM] and [ARMED] LEDs are off.
In order to arm the system, enter the user access code and confirm it with the [#] key. If you
made a mistake when entering the access code, press the [*] key and re-enter the code. The
access codes should be entered very carefully. Three consecutive mistakes may trigger the
alarm recorded in the events log as the „3 wrong codes alarm”.
If the code is entered correctly and arming is possible, the control panel will confirm the entry
with four short beeps followed by a long one and will get armed. In case the installer has pre-
programmed the „exit delay”, the [ARMED] LED will start blinking to indicate beginning of
that time countdown, and arming will take place when the countdown is over. The LCD
keypad will display information about exit time delay.
The installer determines the length of the exit delay and the way the audible signaling works.
EXAMPLE: Arming with the user access code: 39763.
press in turn: [3][9][7][6][3] [#]
The control panel may fail to arm the system if:
the panel is not ready for arming the system: there are zones defined by the installer
which must not be violated or tampered while the system is being armed („PRIORITY”
option) and one of them is being violated or tampered – the panel signals this state with
three long beeps and displays the names of violated zones on LCD keypad.
In such a situation, you should wait until all the zones are ready (in the LED keypad the
LEDs 1 5 will go out; in the LCD keypad – symbols of zone violation) and then arm the
system again (enter the access code). If, for example, one of the zones remains all the
time violated (in the LED keypad one of the LEDs 1 5 is always on, in the LCD keypad the
symbol of zone violation is displayed – it may be caused e.g. by the detector failure), the
armed mode can be activated after bypassing the given zone (using the function 4);
the access code is incorrect – this situation is signaled with two long beeps.
at least one output in the system performs the DURESS ALARM function and is on (active).
Using the code which does not carry out the „action under duress” function will reset the
a.m. output activity (three short beeps) without arming the system; the system will only be
armed on using any code again.

4.8 QUICK ARMING [0][#]

Quick arming without using any access code is possible by consecutive pressing of two
keypad keys:
EXAMPLE: [0][#] – arming
The control panel cannot arm the system when:
an alarm condition is signaled by the panel (the [ALARM] LED is blinking);
8 USER MANUAL CA-5

the panel is not ready to arm the system – which is signaled by the panel with three long
beeps (see description in the previous paragraph of this manual);
the function is disabled by the installer – this situation will be signaled with two long beeps.

4.9 DISARMING AND ALARM CLEARING [CODE][#]

If the panel is armed (the [ARMED] LED is on or blinking) and/or it signals an alarm (the
[ALARM] LED is on or blinking), entering the user access code and confirming it with the
[#] or [*] key will disarm the system and clear the alarm. If, while entering the access code,
you make a mistake, press the [*] key and re-enter the code. The control panel will confirm
acceptance of the command by four short beeps and a long one, and by extinguishing the
[ARMED] LED and/or [ALARM] LED (if it was on).
The service code can only clear the tamper alarm or the keyboard alarm when the
[ARMED] LED is off (the control panel is disarmed).
The panel will not disarm the system or clear the alarm when the access code is wrong.
The user access code No. 5 will not clear the alarm in the armed mode if a special operating
mode has been selected for it by the installer, and the system was armed by another user.
Refusal to clear the alarm is signaled with three long beeps.

4.10 REMOTE ARMING/DISARMING AND CLEARING ALARM

The installer may install in the security system a radio controller to make remote control
possible, or a special button, designed for quick arming/disarming of the system or clearing of
alarm. For this purpose, one of the control panel programmable zones is used. The system
will be always armed in this mode (by violation of the zone), irrespective of the status
(violation) of the other zones of the control panel.
Arming/disarming is signaled in the keypad by 4 short beeps and 1 long beep.
The installer may restrict the zone operation to arming only, while disarming and alarm
clearing will require the user access code.
To facilitate remote control of the panel, the installer may activate the signaling of
arming/disarming on the OUT1 alarm output (see: Events Signaled on the OUT1 Output).

5. „HOLD DOWN” USER FUNCTIONS

The functions are available to every user of the protected site (without using the access
code). They are activated by holding down the function key until audible signal sounds in
the keypad. The first three functions refer to viewing the alarms and troubles. Depending on
the keypad type the viewing is done in different ways.
LCD keypad
To start the viewing, call the function and press any of the arrow keys - information on
the most recent alarm condition, referring to selected function, will be displayed. The
([ ], [ ]) arrow keys on the right side of the keypad allow the user to scroll through the
list of events provided by the alarm control panel. The events are displayed
chronologically ([ ] – earlier ones, [ ] – later ones).
The ([ ], [ ]) arrow keys on the left side of the keypad make it possible to display the
user or zone name (default one or entered into the control panel memory by the installer
using the DLOAD10 computer program). Pressing the same key again will restore the
previous mode of event information display.
CA-5 SATEL 9

name of event - description in words

Pressing the [*] key terminates the viewing function.

The method of reading information from the LED keypad is described together
with particular functions.

5.1 ALARM MEMORY REVIEW [5]

Holding down the [5] key (until a single beep is heard) will display information on the most
recent alarm condition. The [PROGRAM] LED will be blinking, and the LEDs 1–5 will
indicate the cause of the alarm. Pressing any key (except for the [*] key, which gives you the
option to quit the memory log review immediately) displays the previous alarm conditions, up
to the earliest item recorded:
zone alarms: one of the LEDs 1 to 5 is always lit up (burglary, panic, fire, tamper, and
other alarms, depending on how the zone functions have been set up by the installer),
keypad alarms: one of the LEDs is off, and the other LEDs 1 to 5 are on, the meaning of
the extinguished diode being as follows:
LED No ALARM DESCRIPTION
1 Fire alarm, keypad
2 Panic alarm, keypad
3 Auxiliary alarm, keypad
4 3 wrong access codes alarm
Keypad tamper alarm (short-circuiting of bus wires,
5
cutting off of keypad)
5.2 TROUBLE MEMORY REVIEW [6]
This function allows the panel user to review the detailed information on the system trouble
conditions from the panel memory log.
On pressing and holding down the [6] key (until you hear a single beep), the [PROGRAM]
LED will start blinking, and the LEDs from 1 to 5 will indicate the type of trouble according to
the list contained in the description of the CURRENT TROUBLE CHECK-OUT function. The
list of detectable troubles consists of two sets of five items each. Troubles relating to the first
10 USER MANUAL CA-5

set are indicated by the number of a lit up LED, whereas troubles relating to the second set
are indicated by the number of an extinguished LED (one of five).
The previous (earlier) troubles are available for readout by consecutively pressing any key of
the keypad, except for the [*] key which cancels the trouble memory review function.

5.3 CURRENT TROUBLE CHECK-OUT [7]

When the control panel signals a trouble detection (the [TROUBLE] LED is blinking),
holding down the [7] key (until you hear a single beep) will activate the Current Trouble
Check-out Function. On activating the function, the [PROGRAM] LED will start blinking,
and the LEDs 1 to 5 will indicate any possible troubles from the first set (list of troubles as per
the table). Pressing any key (except for the [*] key) will change the set of displayed troubles
to the other one, which will be signaled by two short beeps. Consecutive pressing of any key
will display information, alternately, on the first set of troubles and on the second one.
Pressing the [*] key will quit the function.
The meaning of the LEDs is as follows:
LED No. FIRST SET OF TROUBLES
1 230V AC power supply loss
2 Battery trouble
3 OUT1 output trouble
4 Power supply outputs trouble
5 Clock loss
SECOND SET OF TROUBLES
1 No voltage on telephone line
2 Problem with access to settings memory
Wrong communication codes (connections from
3
computer blocked for 30 minutes by the panel)
4 Monitoring trouble
5 Dialing error
Note: During the trouble memory review, the extinguished LED No. 3 (a second set
trouble) means „Unsuccessful DWNL (downloading)”. The meaning described in the
table refers to the current trouble check-out only.

5.3.1 Description of some trouble signaling causes

230V AC power supply loss - the control panel is fitted with a backup power supply to enable
a limited time operation without the mains supply; if the AC loss is indicated despite the electrical
installation being OK, you should call the service.
Battery trouble – means that the battery voltage is too low (lower than 12V under load). This
condition may hold for several hours after AC supply loss (or after connecting a discharged
battery). The battery charging time depends on its capacitance (the battery is charged with direct
current of approx. 350mA, the time necessary for testing the battery status is about 12 minutes).
Overload OUT1 output – overload (installation short-circuiting) – usually requires intervention of the
service personnel.
Overload power outputs – information on the installation fault, requires intervention of the service
personnel (it can be only displayed during the trouble memory review).
Clock loss – occurs on disconnecting the power supply and restarting the control panel; the clock and
date should be set with the user function 6.
No voltage on telephone line – means cut-off of the telephone line; it may be also caused by
lifting the handset of the telephone connected to the same line for longer than the time specified by
the installer.
CA-5 SATEL 11

Problems with access to settings memory – may occur when the RESET pins on the control
panel main board are shorted. If the pins are open, and connecting the power off and on does not
clear the trouble signaling, intervention of the service personnel is necessary.
Wrong communication codes – means that during three consecutive communication sessions
with the computer the control panel hanged up after reading a wrong communication code three
times – in such a case, the panel suspends communication with the computer for 30 minutes (upon
answering a call it sends to the computer a message that the connection capability is disabled and
„hangs up”).
Monitoring trouble – this message indicates multiple occupancy of the line, when the monitoring
station fails to go "off hook", does not send the handshake, or the acknowledgement signal after
receiving the codes. If this signaling persists, the monitoring is ineffective and requires intervention
of the service personnel or the technicians from monitoring station.
Dialing error – information on the cause of an unsuccessful telephone connection (lack of the dialing
tone after the handset is lifted, or presence of an intermittent signal instead of the continuous one).
The signaling of trouble will remain on until next successful telephone connection.
Depending on the programmed options, the current trouble memory will be deleted on
clearing the cause of trouble, or only after running the above-mentioned current trouble
checkout function.

5.4 SWITCHING THE CHIME ON/OFF [8]

This function (holding down the [8] key) makes it possible to switch on/off the chime signal
(signaling the violation of selected zones when the control panel is disarmed) from the
keypad. Three short beeps in the keypad confirm switching off the chime signaling function,
whereas four short beeps and a long one mean that the signaling is on.
The installer specifies which zones will generate the chime signal.

5.5 FIRE ALARM [*]

This function makes it possible to trigger the fire alarm from the keypad. The control panel
activates signaling on the OUT1 output in the keypad and sends an appropriate code to the
monitoring station. The function can be disabled by the installer.

5.6 AUXILIARY ALARM [0]

The meaning of this alarm is specified depending on the needs. The function may transmit
information on the auxiliary alarm to the monitoring station (it may be, for example, a call for
medical assistance, as it was adopted in the Contact ID monitoring format).
The function may be disabled by the installer.

5.7 PANIC ALARM [#]

This function makes it possible to trigger the panic alarm from the keypad. The control panel
activates signaling on the OUT1 output in the keypad and sends an appropriate code to the
monitoring station. The function can be disabled by the installer or limited to the keypad and
monitoring only (the SILENT panic alarm).

6. USER FUNCTIONS ACCESSIBLE WITH ACCESS CODE

If the control panel is not armed and is signaling no alarm, the users can access several
functions useful in everyday operation of the security system.
The user functions described in this section are activated by entering the user access code
and confirming it with the [*] key (not the [#] key as is the case when arming the system).
12 USER MANUAL CA-5

Fig. 4 Fragment of user functions menu – example.

To reach the required menu function, press the key with selected function number, or,
alternatively, move the „ ” selection cursor up or down using the [ ], [ ] keys so that it
indicates the suitable function. The function is activated upon pressing the [#] or [ ] keys.
When activated, some functions require that data be entered or selection be made; if this is
the case, the control panel waits for the user to take action (a corresponding message will
appear on the LCD display; the [PROGRAM] LED will be blinking fast in the LED keypad).
USER FUNCTIONS MENU:

12 Service access
Notes:
The functions 2, 3 and 12 are available to the master user only (the regular user has only
access to functions: 1, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)).
The service code [*] provides access to functions: 0, 1, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
Access to some of the user functions (functions: 0, 7, 8, 9) depends on the service
settings. For example, if the system includes no MONO and BI outputs, the functions 7
and 8 are not displayed in the menu.
Pressing the [*] key at any time makes the control panel quit the user function mode.
Having performed the function (or having refused to perform it), the control panel always
quits the user function mode. To carry out a next function you must re-enter the access
CA-5 SATEL 13

code, confirm it with the [*] key, select the function number and confirm it by pressing the
[#] key.
Refusal to perform the function is signaled with three long beeps (e.g. after calling the
function 2, when all the access codes are already entered).

6.1 START DOWNLOAD [CODE][*][0][#]

The function connects the control panel by telephone with the service computer (the
computer telephone number must be previously programmed by the installer) for remote
programming of the security system parameters and downloading the event memory log. The
function can be called by the master user and the service.
The computer program makes available to the computer operator a keypad working
simultaneously with the real keypads installed in the system, and provides detailed
monitoring of the system, including the status of its zones and outputs. The knowledge of the
users' access codes makes it possible to use the computer pad in the same way as any
additional system keypad (most of the user functions are available).
On activating the function, the panel engages the telephone line and connects to the service
computer. During the data exchange the telephone line will be busy. The service can
temporarily free the telephone line by suspending the downloading, and then calling the
control panel again to continue the data exchange. The installer should make the users
aware of it so that they will not answer the incoming calls to allow re-establishing of the
connection and correct completion of the transmission.
Connection between the control panel and the computer (after the panel is appropriately
programmed) can be initialized from outside by the computer calling the control panel, and
also can be effected by the installer in local mode using the corresponding service function.
The meaning of audible signals generated on activating the function:
three long beeps mean that the line is engaged by monitoring – wait and then repeat the
function calling attempt,
two long beeps mean lack of the programmed computer number or unavailability of the
function to the given user.
Notes:
The function enables connection between the panel and the computer, when the option to
establish communication from outside (from the computer) is blocked.
Initiation of the programming from the outside may be useful e.g. when the user is often
absent from the site, and there is an urgent need for service intervention or remote testing
of the security system .
Programming the computer telephone number (when the function initiating the
programming from the outside is available) is an extra safeguard against the panel being
accessed by any computer except the service one (in case unauthorized persons know the
communication access codes).
It is possible to block the service computer access to the control panel for the time of
armed mode.

6.2 CHANGE ACCESS CODE [CODE][*][1][#]

The function permits changing the access code of the user who has activated the function. It
is only unavailable to the user 4, if a special „duress action” authority level has been selected
for him. Such an access code can only be changed by the master user by deleting and re-
entering it.
Having called the function, enter the new access code and press the [#] key.
14 USER MANUAL CA-5

In the LED keypad the number of the lit up LED (1–5) indicates which access code is being
changed. When changing the master code or the service code none of the LEDs 1–5 is on.
EXAMPLE: changing the access code from 1234 to 7890.
[1][2][3][4][*] – calling the "user function" mode, confirmed
with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally with slow blinking of the 1. Change code
[PROGRAM] LED, 2. New user
[1] [#] – calling the "change code" function,
confirmed with two short beeps and in the
LED keypad additionally with fast blinking of
the [PROGRAM] LED (in the LCD
keypad this function may be called using [ ]
or [#] keys), New code:
[7][8][9][0][#] – entering the digits of a new code and 7890
accepting it, confirmed with four short beeps
and a long one – return of the control panel
to the normal operating mode.

6.3 ADD USER [CODE][*][2][#]

This function permits adding new users of the system (i.e. the access codes capable of
controlling the panel operation). It is only available to the Master code user.
As new users are added to the system, they are automatically assigned consecutive numbers
by the panel. If the function is called after the number of entered users has reached five, the
control panel will generate three long beeps and will quit the user function mode. If any of the
codes have been deleted by means of the function 3, the control panel will allow new user
access codes to be entered in their place.
After calling the function, the control panel waits for entering the new user access code (4 to
8 digits). Afterwards, the [#] key should be pressed.
In the LED keypad the number of the user code being programmed is indicated by blinking of
one of the LEDs 1 to 5. In the LCD keypad the number of the user code is displayed.
EXAMPLE: entering the new user access code = 4938
(master user access code = 7890).
[7][8][9][0][*] – calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally with slow blinking of the [PROGRAM] LED,
[2] [#] – calling the "enter new user access code" function, confirmed with two short beeps,
and in the LED keypad additionally with lighting up of one of LEDs 1–5 and fast
blinking of the [PROGRAM] LED (in the LCD keypad this function may be called
with arrow keys),
[4][9][3][8][2][7] [#] – entering the new code digits and accepting it, confirmed with four short beeps
and a long one – return of the control panel to the normal operating mode.

6.4 ERASE USER [CODE][*][3][#]

The purpose of this function is to delete the access codes of existing users if the contents of
their code is lost, or to revoke the current users' authority to operate the security system. The
function is only available to the Master user.
After calling the function, the control panel will light up the LEDs with the numbers of current
user codes, and will display their numbers in the LCD keypad. Pressing the key with the digit
corresponding to the number of existing access code will extinguish the given LED (digit). In
order to delete selected access codes, it is necessary to extinguish their corresponding LEDs
(digits) and accept the selection with the [ ] key. The LEDs (digits) indicate which access
codes will remain in the system after quitting the function.
CA-5 SATEL 15

EXAMPLE: deleting the third and fifth user's access codes (Master user code = 7890).
[7][8][9][0][*] – calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally slow blinking of the [PROGRAM] LED,
[3] [#] calling the "erase user" function, confirmed with two short beeps, and in the LED
keypad additionally with lighting up of LEDs with the numbers of existing codes (e.g.
1,2,3,4,5) and with fast blinking of the [PROGRAM] LED (in the LCD keypad this
function may be called using arrow keys),
[3][5] – indicating the numbers of deleted access
codes – confirmed in the LED keypad by Whom to leave?

and 5 (the LEDs 1, 2 and 4 are still lit up),
and in the LCD keypad by disappearing of
digits 3 and 5 from the display (digits 1, 2
and 4 are still on),
[#] – deleting the selected access codes; four short beeps and a long one signal end of the
function.

6.5 BYPASS ZONES [CODE][*][4][#]

The function enables bypassing of the zones in order to arm a part of the system or to
bypass malfunctioning detectors in the armed mode.
After calling the function, press the keys with numbers corresponding to the numbers of
zones to be bypassed (the LEDs or digits corresponding to the selected zones will on) and
confirm the selection with the [#] key.
After bypassing the zones and quitting the user function mode in the LED keypad, the
corresponding LEDs start slowly blinking, in the LCD keypad letters “b” will appear on the display
in the fields corresponding to the bypassed zones. The zones will remain bypassed until the next
disarming or their manual unbypassing with the same function. The unbypassing consists in
extinguishing the LEDs (digits) which correspond to the bypassed zones.
Bypassing/unbypassing a zone generates an event saved in the control panel memory.
Upon arming, the indication of bypassed zones is switched off.
Bypassing the Arm/Disarm type zones makes impossible the remote arming/disarming of the
system, as well as the alarm clearing. This operation must then be performed by entering the
access code from the keypad.

EXAMPLE: bypassing the zones 3 and 4 (user access

code = 12321).
[1][2][3][2][1] [*] – calling the "user function" What to bypass?
mode, confirmed with three short beeps and ..34.

..bb.
[3][4] – selecting the numbers of zones to be
bypassed – in the LED keypad the LEDs 3
and 4 will light up, in the LCD keypad digit 3
and 4 will be displayed,
[#] – accepting the entered data – four short beeps and a long one signal end of the
function.
Note: The 24h zones (which are on duty, whether the system is armed or not) can only be
bypassed by means of the zone bypassing function, accessible on entering the service
code which ends with [*].
16 USER MANUAL CA-5

6.6 ARM SILENT [CODE][*][5][#]

In the silent armed mode, the alarms are not signaled on the OUT1 output and on the output
programmed as BURGLARY ALARM. They are only signaled in the keypad and by sending
a message to the monitoring station.
EXAMPLE: activating the silent armed mode (user code = 1230).
[1][2][3][0][*] – calling the "user function" mode, confirmed with three short beeps and in the LED
keypad additionally slow blinking of the [PROGRAM] LED,
[5] [#] – activating the silent armed mode – four short beeps and a long one signal the end of
the function (in the LCD keypad this function may be called using arrow keys).
Note: If a zone with activated PRIORITY option is violated or tampered, than the control panel
will refuse to perform this function.

6.7 SET TIME [CODE][*][6][#]

The function permits setting the control panel clock (day, month, hour). Present year is set by
the installer with the service function. The real indications of time and date ensure correct
interpretation of the events recorded in the panel memory log. The history of events may be
downloaded by means of the LCD keypad or the computer and its program managing the
CA-5 alarm control panel.
The programming procedure is as follows:
- HOURS, MINUTES – acknowledge ([H][H][M][M][#]),
- MONTH, DAY – acknowledge ([M][M][D][D][#]),
The hour should be given in the 24-hour format (with "zero" before the hour less than 10).
It is possible to leave the function earlier after programming the time (the date will remain
unchanged) by pressing the ([#]) key twice.
Note: In order to reset the „Clock loss” trouble signal, the time and date must be
programmed.
EXAMPLE: programming time: 7:45
and date: 25 July. (user access code = 1230)
[1][2][3][0][*] – calling the "user function" mode, confirmed
with three short beeps and in the LED

6.8 MONO OUTPUTS [CODE][*][7][#]

The purpose of the function is determined by the installer. It can, for instance, activate
electromagnetic locks, bells, signaling lamps or any other devices. The function is available
when the MONO SWITCH type has been selected for one of the outputs.
Using this function switches on the output for a time specified by the installer. Performance is
confirmed by four short beeps and a long one.
18 USER MANUAL CA-5

6.9 BI OUTPUTS [CODE][*][8][#]

The purpose of the function is determined by the installer. It can be used, for example, for
switching on the external lighting or any electrical devices.
The function is active when the BI SWITCH type is selected for one of the outputs.
Using the function will permanently change the output status into the opposite one (until the
function is used again). An inactive output will be activated, and an active output will be
deactivated.
Switching the output on is confirmed by the keypad with four short beeps and a long one,
while switching it off – with three short beeps.

6.10 POWER SUPPLY RESET [CODE][*][9][#]

The function is used for handling special detectors equipped with individual on/off memory,
which is cleared by shutting down power supply (for example, smoke detectors). Calling the
function temporarily disconnects power supply for such detectors.
The function is active when the RESETTABLE POWER type is selected for one of the outputs.

6.11 EVENTS [FUNCTION 10 – ONLY LCD KEYPAD]

The function is available in LCD keypad and makes it possible to view the whole contents of
the events log (the last 255). To view the events, the user function menu should be opened
with master user code or with service code, and next the “Events” function should be called.
The way of viewing is described in section HOLD DOWN USER FUNCTIONS.

6.12 TESTING OUTPUTS AND LED INDICATORS [CODE][*][11][#]

The function makes it possible to check the current status of the control panel outputs
(active/inactive), as well as functioning of the outputs and devices connected to them. After
calling the function from the LED type keypad, the control panel will indicate the current
status of outputs on LEDs with corresponding numbers: 1 – OUT1, 2 – OUT2, 3 – OUT3. The
lit up LED means active output, the extinguished LED inactive output. In the LCD keypad, the
status of outputs is displayed on the first three characters of the second line of the display.
The active outputs are indicated by displaying a corresponding digit (1, 2, or 3), and the
inactive – by displaying a dot. In order to carry out the functional test of the output
(arm/disarm), press the key with the number of specified output. By repeatedly pressing the
same key the output status will be toggled to the opposite one. Activation/deactivation of an
output is acknowledged by three short beeps.
Additionally, the function makes it possible to check operation of the LEDs in all keypads
connected to the control panel. Press the key [0] when the function is active to light up all the
LEDs (indicators and keypad illumination) which were unlit at the given moment. Press any
key with another digit number to extinguish the LEDs which were turned on for the duration of
the test.
After quitting the function key [#] or [*], the control panel will restore the previous status of the
outputs, from before calling the function.

6.13 SERVICE ACCESS [CODE][*][12][#]

The function, which is available to the master user, allows the installer to access the system
by using the service code. It requires some data – i.e. the time period during which the
service mode of the control panel will be available to the installer (service). After expiry of the
preprogrammed time, the access will be blocked, except when the value 99 is set, which
makes permanent the service mode access by using the code (default setting). In order to
CA-5 SATEL 19

program the access time, call the function, enter two digits to indicate the time (using zero in
the beginning for numbers smaller than 10) and press the [#] key.
Two zeros entered with this function (for the number of hours) automatically block the access.
The access time countdown is running, whether the service mode is active or not. The countdown
can only be interrupted by disconnection of power supply (230V mains and/or battery). By calling
this function you can check how much time remains until the access is blocked by the service
code.
