**Installation

**

**Installation Sequence

**

Before attempting to install the alarm system, read this section. Once you have an overall understanding of the installation sequence, carefully work through each step.

1. Design the Layout
   Make a rough sketch of the premises to get an idea of where the alarm detection devices, keypads etc. are to be located.

2. Mounting the Panel
   The control panel should be mounted in a dry area close to an unswitched AC power source.
   You must complete all wiring before connecting the battery or applying AC mains to the control panel.

3. Installing the Keypads
   Mount and connect the keypads to the control panel (see page 9 for wiring details).

4. Installing the Alarm Detection Devices
   Install the detection devices, PIR’s, Contacts, PA Buttons etc. and connect them to the control panel (see page 10).

5. Install the External Sounder
   Install the external sounder and connect to the control panel (see page 13).

6. Other Wiring
   Complete all other wiring i.e. speakers etc. (see pages 12 for wiring details).

7. Applying Power to the Control Panel
   Once steps 1 to 6 are completed, power can be applied to the control panel.
   If you need to load the factory default settings (see page 14).
   Power should always be connected in the following order:
   •  Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of the battery and then connect the black battery lead to the negative terminal.
   •  Connect the AC mains.

8. Programming the Control Panel
   Please refer to section 4 for instruction on programming the control panel.

9. Testing the System
   Test the system thoroughly to ensure that all features and functions operate as required (see page 19).

Control Panel

Mounting the Control Panel

Mount the control panel on a flat, plumb wall using at least three appropriate screws. The rear casing has been designed with a central key-hole slot so that mounting is possible without removing the Printed Circuit Board (PCB). The angled slot in the lower corner has been provided to allow the panel to be levelled easily. If the PCB has to be removed, carefully pull back the two front PCB securing clips, lift the front of the PCB and slide it downward. To replace the PCB simply reverse the above procedure.
 It is essential to ensure that none of the fixing slots or cable entries are accessible after fixing.
Mains cabling must be secured (e.g. with a cable tie) to one of the anchor points provided.

Wiring the Control Panel

WARNING: ELECTRICITY CAN KILL

BEFORE connecting the control panel ALWAYS disconnect the supply at the consumer unit. If in ANY doubt consult a qualified electrician.

IMPORTANT  SAFETY INFORMATION. HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES INSIDE, NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS, NO USER ACCESS.

ONLY connect the mains supply to the mains terminal block, NEVER connect the mains supply directly to the PCB.
ALWAYS refer to National Wiring Regulations when conducting installation.
An appropriate and readily accessible disconnection device (e.g. an unswitched fused spur) MUST be provided as part of the installation.
The disconnection device must NOT be fitted in a flexible cord.
Where identification of the neutral in the mains supply is NOT possible a two- pole disconnection device MUST be used.

The building mains supply MUST incorporate appropriate short-circuit backup protection (e.g. a fuse or circuit breaker) of High Breaking Capacity (HBC, at least 1500A).

Use mains cable of adequate carrying capacity for the rated current (i.e. at least 0.75mm2,

**Connecting AC Mains

**

The AC Mains supply is connected to a 3 way ‘Euro Type’ fused terminal block, which is fitted with a fuse (see page 27).

All other wiring MUST be carried out before AC mains is connected to the control panel. After connecting the AC Mains, fit the mains cover, this can be found in the spares bag.

Connecting Batteries

Up to one 12V 2.1Ah battery can be fitted inside a Veritas 8Compact and up to one 12V 7Ah battery can be fitted inside a Veritas 8 or R8 control panel to provide continued operation in the event of an AC mains failure.

All other wiring MUST be carried out before the battery is connected to the control panel. Connect the red battery lead to the positive terminal of the battery and then connect the black battery lead to the  negative terminal.

**Installing Remote Keypads

**

A maximum of 6 remote keypads can be connected to the keypad network. The Veritas 8, Veritas 8Compact and the Veritas R8 only supports LED keypads.

The networks are made up of four terminals incorporating power and data. To ensure correct operation, all four terminals on the device must be connected to the corresponding terminals on the control panel, or previous keypad. The table below shows each terminal and _ its description:

Terminal

|

Description

---|---
+| +12V Supply
–| Ov Supply
T| Transmit Data
R| Receive Data

Devices can be connected using 4core cable. However, it is recommended that 6 or 8-core cable is used as the spare cores can be used to ‘Double Up’ on the power connections if needed.
Standard 7/0.2 alarm cable can be used for most installations. However, under certain conditions it may be necessary to use screened cable.

Cable Distances
The maximum recommended distance for devices when using standard 7/0.2 alarm cable is:

• 100m for each branch when using the star (parallel) configuration
• When using a daisy chain (series) configuration the maximum distance will depend on the number of devices connected on the chain. The more devices that are connected, the shorter the distance to the last device (this is due to voltage drop in the cable) Whichever method of wiring configuration is used, ensure that the voltage between the ‘+’ and ‘—’ terminals at each device is no lower than 10.0V when the system is running on the standby battery.

Keypad Addressing
Each keypad MUST be given a different address using the DIP switch on the PCB as follows:

NEVER set two RKPs to the same address. Keypads are factory set to Address 1.
If the keypad is powered but offline (i.e. T and R not connected) it will display its address.
If an invalid address is selected, the keypad will sound an error tone.
Configuring the Keypads
When the system is powered up it automatically checks and configures all connected keypads. It is _ strongly recommended that the system is completely powered down (mains and battery) before wiring a keypad. If a keypad is added without removing power then it must be configured (see page 21).
If an RKP is configured but off-line, the system will have a tamper fault.

Zone Connections
Detection devices such as PIR’s, Door Contacts, PA Buttons etc. are all connected to the 8 zone terminals on the Veritas R8 Plus and Veritas Excel control panel.
If a Zone is not being used it should be either linked out or disabled (see page 25).
Magnetic Contacts and Panic Buttons
These are connected to one of the eight terminal pairs labelled Z1 to Z8 on the control panel.
Figure 1 – Wiring Magnetic Contacts
Figure 1a – Wiring Single Magnetic Contacts to a Zone (see also Figure 3).

Figure 1b – Wiring Multiple Magnetic Contacts to a Zone (see also Figure 3).
Mixing powered detectors and magnetic contacts on one zone is easiest if the wiring is taken from the control panel to the powered detectors first.

Powered Detectors
Always consult the manufacturer’s connection instructions. Powered detectors are connected to one of the eight terminal pairs labelled Z1 to Z8 on the control panel and are powered from the two terminals labelled AUX on the control panel as follows:

Terminal

| Connect To|

Suggested Colour

---|---|---
AUX+| Detector Positive Supply (+12V)| White
AUX-| Detector Negative Supply (ov)| Green

Figure 2a – Wiring a Single Powered Detector to a Zone (see also Figure 3).
Figure 2b – Wiring Multiple Powered Detectors to a Zone (see also Figure 3).
Power is wired in parallel, whereas normally closed alarm loops are wired in series, (normally open alarm loops are wired in parallel).
Mixing powered detectors and magnetic contacts on one zone is easiest if the wiring is taken from the control panel to the powered detectors first.
BS 4737 requires that if two or more powered detector rs are connected to one zone, they must each have an audible or visual latching indication or both, except on an entry/exit route.

Global System Tamper
This is connected to the terminal pair labelled TAMP on the control panel. All the individual zone tamper loops should be
wired in series.
The control panel is supplied with a link fitted across the Global System Tamper to simulate a closed circuit. This link would usually be removed during installation.
Speaker Connections
This output can be used for driving up to one 16Ω or two 8Ω loudspeakers as shown below:

The total load including the built-in speaker must not be less than 16Ω (e.g. 1 x 16Ω speaker, 2 x 8Ω speakers in series, etc.).
The polarity of extension speakers is usually unimportant, however, the polarity of the L/S terminals is indicated by a + and -.
Internal Siren(s)
If required these are connected to two of the external sounder connections, in addition to the external sounder, as follows:

Terminal

|

Connect To

---|---
A| Siren Positive Supply (+ 12V)
B| Siren Negative Activate/Negative Supply (OV)

Wiring the External Sounder
Always consult the manufacturer’s connection instructions. The external sounder and strobe are connected to the five terminals labelled SAB on the control panel as follows:

Terminal

|

Description

---|---
A| Permanent Positive Supply (+12V)
B| Switched Negative to Activate Sounder
C| Negative Tamper Return
D| Permanent Negative Supply (OV)
E| Switched Negative to Activate Strobe

Figure 4 – Typical SAB Connections

An external sounder is often referred to as a ‘bell’ or ‘bell-box’ even when it is actually an electronic siren.
The control panel is supplied with a link fitted across the Bell Tamper to simulate a closed circuit. This link would usually be removed during installation.
If the strobe is a separate unit take the strobe positive supply from ‘A’ as well.
A self-activating bell/sounder  (SAB) has a_ built-in battery. After connecting this battery the sounder may sometimes sound until its cover is fitted and it is supplied with power from the control panel.
Terminal B may be programmed as switched negative removed rather than switched negative applied to activate sounder (see page 21). This is useful for SCBs where B would then be used to provide the permanent negative supply.
Popular SAB Wiring Diagrams
The following diagrams illustrate how to connect the control panel to the popular makes of SAB:

Commissioning (Initial Power Up)
ALWAYS Ensure the mains is off BEFORE removing the front cover

• Connect the black battery lead to the negative (-) terminal of the standby battery and the red battery lead to the positive
  (+) terminal of the standby battery. All the indicator lights will come on. After 10 seconds the zone lights will turn off and a repeating 9 bleep error tone will start.
  If the battery is flat or faulty the RKP may not accept key presses.
  To Load Factory Settings Apply power to the control panel and press OR press and release the lid tamper spring 3 times BEFORE the zone lights turn off and the repeating 9 bleep error tone starts
  

•  Enter the factory set User code (4)(3)(2)(1). The error tone will stop.

• Enter the factory set Engineer code ()(2)@)@ and press to access the Programming Menu and disable 24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper) via the Engineer code. All the zone lights will illuminate.

• Perform a Walk Test as described in on page 20. Remember that some powered detectors (e.g. PIRs and Combined Technology Detectors) take several minutes to warm up and become operational.

• Test the internal sounder, external sounder and strobe as described on page 19. To adjust the low-level volume use the control ‘pot’ on the PCB (see page 7), volume increases anti-clockwise. If the system fails to operate as expected check that the mounting and wiring are as per the instructions.

• Correct any mistakes and repeat the test (see page 15, Trouble Shooting).

• Replace the lid and secure with the two lid screws supplied – do not over-tighten.

• Fit the screw covers, these can be found in the spares bag.

• Press to leave the Programming Menu. All the zone lights will turn off.

• The Power light will be flashing to indicate that action is required. Switch on the mains supply to the control panel. The Power light will stop flashing and stay on continuously. If the factory settings (see page 3) are not appropriate then re-program the system as described on see page 17.

• If you have a meter:

• Disconnect the battery & check the total non-alarm current is less than 1A.

• Reconnect the battery & check the total alarm current is not more than 1A.

• The total current is measured as follows:

• Set your meter to DC current.

• Connect your meter across F5 (power supply fuse).

• Remove F5 and Record the current drain.

• Replace F5 and Remove your meter.
  To avoid accidentally powering down the system be sure to follow all the above steps in order.
  Installation is now complete and the system is ready for use.
  When the system is full set, after the exit period, the external strobe will flash for approximately 6 seconds (this option can be de-selected, see page 18).
  Servicing the System
  ALWAYS Ensure the mains is off BEFORE removing the front cover
  The Power light on the control panel is a status indicator for the battery charging circuit, a steady light meaning normal. A flashing light means action required – mains power can still be present. ALWAYS use a suitable mains test instrument to
  confirm that mains power is no longer present.
  The transformer and heatsink may be hot during and after use – do NOT touch.

• Test the internal sounder, external sounder and strobe as described on page 19. Perform a Walk Test as described on page 20. Basic Log events may be viewed by following the procedure described on page 25.

• If it is necessary to remove the lid, first switch off the mains supply to the control panel. Ensure that the Power light is flashing, then use a suitable mains test instrument to confirm mains power is no longer present.

• Enter the 4 digit Engineer code (?)(?)(?)(?) and press to access the Programming Menu and disable 24 Hour zones via the Engineer code. All the zone lights will illuminate.

• Remove the screw covers by inserting a screwdriver into the screw cover slot and turning anti-clockwise whilst applying pressure outwards.

• Unscrew the lid screws and remove the lid.

• On completion replace the lid and secure with the lid screws – do not over-tighten.

• Replace the screw covers.

• Press to leave the Programming Menu. All the zone lights will turn off.

• Switch on the mains supply to the control panel. The Power light will stop flashing and stay on continuously.
  Trouble Shooting
  ALWAYS Ensure the mains is off BEFORE removing the front cover

  No Power to the Unit (Mains Only)
  

• Check the mains block fuse and replace if blown.

• Check for any loose wires at the mains block, the transformer and the AC terminals on the PCB.

• Check the mains block is connected correctly; live to live (brown), neutral to neutral (blue).
  No Power to the Unit (Battery Only)
  

• Check the battery fuse F1 and replace if blown.

• Check for any loose wires at the BATT terminals on the PCB.

• Check that the battery wires are connected correctly; red from BATT+ to the battery positive (+), black from BATT- to the battery negative (-).
  No Power to the Unit (Mains & Battery)
  

• Check the power supply output fuse F5 and replace if blown.

• Disconnect all wires from the control panel SAB A and AUX+ terminals.

• Check that links are only fitted in the correct places.

• Check there are no wires shorting to the underside of the PCB.

• Repeated blowing of the battery fuse F1 may indicate a faulty battery.
  Unit Does Not Accept Code
  

• If using more than one RKP, check that each RKP has a diferent address.

• If using one or more RKPs, check that they are wired correctly.

• If the remote keypad was connected after the control panel was powered up, disconnect all power momentarily and reconnect. This automatically configures all remote keypads on the system, (also see page 21).

• Check you are using the correct codes. Factory-set Engineer code is Factory-set User code is

• If using one or more RKPs on battery only, try using mains as the battery may be flat.

• Check that the codes have not been changed. If the codes have been lost (see page 20).

• Check that the membrane keypad tail is all the way home in its connector on the PCB.
  Unit Will Not Set and Bleeps 10 Times
  The Power light on the panel will be flashing to indicate a power fault, either mains fail or battery low volts.

• The mains frequency may be set incorrectly (see page 19).

• The procedure for setting the system in the event of a power fault is described in the User Guide.
  Unit Will Not Set and Bleeps 9 Times
  

• The system has a tamper fault and the Tamper light will be on. Using the extended display during Walk Test (see page 20) identify the cause of the tamper fault:

• If the extended display identifies the fault as bell box tamper, then the cause may either be Bell Tamper or Global System Tamper. • Temporarily replace the system tamper link (TAMP):

• If the tamper fault persists then it is due to the Bell Tamper – check the bell wiring, the bell lid and/or screw tamper, and the bell wall tamper (if fitted).

• If the tamper fault clears then it is due to the system tamper. Remove the system tamper link and the tamper fault will reappear – check the system tamper wiring and the lid tamper on all detectors.

• Remove ALL Temporary Links.

• If the extended display identifies the fault as lid tamper, it may refer either to the control panel or the remote keypad(s). Try stretching the springs and ensure all connections are secure.

• To set the system with a tamper fault use the following procedure:
  Enter the User code Press or  . The system will sound a repeating series of 9 bleeps. Press . • The display will illuminate the zones that are about to be armed. Press . The Tamper light will turn off. Press . The exit tone and exit timer will start.

• To prevent repeated false alarms due to an intermittent tamper fault when the system is unset, omit Tamper as described above, then abort the setting procedure by re-entering the User code.

• To prevent Tamper from being omitted (see page 18).
  Unit Will Not Set and Bleeps 1 – 8 Times
  The system has one or more zone faults and the corresponding zone light(s) will be on.

• Ensure that the zone is closed (doors shut, no movement in PIR detection area).

• Check the zone wiring and ensure all connections are secure.

• Check that detectors are powered correctly (i.e. correct polarity).
  Unit Goes Into False Alarm
  

• Check that the terminal screws are fully down on all terminals but do not over-tighten.

• If you have a meter use it to check the loop resistance (wires that run under carpets are easily damaged).
  Unit Makes No Sound
  

• Check that the variable resistor (pot) on the PCB which controls the volume of low level tones is NOT turned fully clockwise. The volume increases as the pot is turned anti-clockwise.

• Check the auxiliary fuse F3 and replace if blown.

• Check the speaker connections to the L/S terminals on the PCB.
  System Operates but Keypad Makes No Sound

• If an older version remote keypad has been fitted the system must be programmed for old style sounds as follows: Enter the Engineer code , press , enter @@), press @), press (PROG.), press (RESET),

External Sounder/Strobe Does Not Work

• Check wiring connections by referring to the diagrams on page 13.
• Check the bell/strobe fuse F2 and replace if blown.
• To check the external sounder make a temporary connection between SAB B and D.
• To check the strobe make a temporary connection between SAB S and D.

The Panic Button Does Not Work

• Check that the Zone Type of the zone to which the panic button is connected is programmed as PA (see page 22).
• Check that the zone to which the panic button is connected is not omitted in part set (see page 26).

Service Timers Cannot Be Programmed
Programming the service timers (QM, Q®, @@®) is prevented unless the current date ((2)@) has been programmed since the last power-up (see page 23).

**Programming the Control Panel

**

Introduction
Programming is usually unnecessary as the factory settings have been carefully selected to suit most installations without alteration. However all functions are fully programmable for Complete Control.

The Programming Menu
The Programming Menu can only be accessed when the control panel is unset.
The display will normally look like this:
Enter your 4-digit Engineer code (factory set to (4)(2)@)@). The display will look like this:
If no keys are pressed, the display will revert back to normal after 16 seconds.
Press , the display will look like this:

The various programming options are then selected by entering a 2-digit Option code . The Programming Procedure then depends upon the programming option selected as detailed in the following sections. On completion, each programming option reverts to the Programming Menu, allowing other programming options to be accessed. To exit the Programming Menu press , the system will revert to unset.
To abort programming at any stage (and preserve the original setting) press , the system will revert to the Programming Menu.

24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper) are disabled when the Programming Menu is accessed via an Engineer code.

To omit zones, set chime or change the User code, refer to the User Guide.

The system programming is retained even in the event of complete loss of power.

Engineer Reset can be cleared by:

• Entering an Engineer code
• Entering an RNRR code (if selected – Option 5)

Engineer Reset is not in itself a method of resetting the system a subsequent User Reset will still be required as follows:
After an Alarm has been Silenced:

• Pressing (RESET) (unless EN 50131-1 Requirements is selected – see page 17)

• Entering a User code
  At other times:

• Entering a User code and pressing

When an Engineer Reset is required the user can still silence the alarm and cancel the strobe but cannot reset the system.

RNRR and Remote Reset are methods of clearing  Engineer Reset. They will not function unless at least one Engineer Reset is selected.

Option 2-Tamper Alarm Engineer Reset
When ‘ON’ the user is prevented from resetting the system  after a tamper alarm has occurred (for details on Engineer Reset see Option 1).
Option 3- Disable User Ability to Omit Tampers
When ‘ON’ users cannot omit tampers.
Option 4-Code PIN Tamper
When ‘ON’ a tamper alarm is generated after 16 invalid key presses when unset.
Option 5- Random Number Remote Reset
When ‘ON’ Random Number Remote Reset is enabled.

• If RNRR (sometimes called Anti-Code Reset or Scramble Reset) is enabled and an Engineer Reset is required, a random 4-digit number will be displayed.
  LEO Keypad – Each digit will flash in turn and then pause before repeating.

If connecting multiple detectors to one zone then:

•  Latching detectors will indicate which detector(s) activated during an alarm.
• First to Alarm (FTA) detectors will indicate which detector caused an alarm and which detectors were then activated during the alarm.

Option 3 would typically be used with older designs of latching shock sensor which do not have a Latch input and must be powered down to clear the Latch indication. In this case the detectors would be powered from the SW + output.

If selecting one of the options which incorporate latching sensor reset (2, 3 or 6) the user can force a latching sensor reset, to clear the L..atch/FTA indication, by entering their code and pressing
The SW+ output can only sink (not source) current. If powering detectors from the SW+ output, connect the detector +Veto AUX+ and the detector -Veto SW+. It may be necessary to invert the SW+ polarity (see page 18).

Configuring Remote Keypads
Each keypad MUST be given a different address using the DIP switch on the PCB as follows: .

Address

| DIP 1| DIP 2| DIP 3|

2| N/A| Off| Off| On
3| N/A| Off| On| Off
4| N/A| Off| On| On
5| N/A| On| Off| Off
6| N/A| On| Off| On

NEVER set two RKPs to the same address. Keypads are factory set to Address 1. If the keypad is powered but offline (i.e. T and R not connected) it will display its address. If an invalid address is selected, the keypad will sound an error tone.

From the Programming Menu, enter . The display will show the zone numbers corresponding to remote keypads (RKPs) that are currently configured and on- line, while
flashing the zone numbers corresponding to RKPs that are currently configured but off-line.

To update the configuration, press . The control panel will scan for RKP addresses 1 to 6. As each RKP is detected the control panel will configure it as present and
show the zone number corresponding to its address.

To leave configuring, press . If the configuration has not been updated the panel wil l sound an error tone. The system will automatically revert to the Programming
Menu.

NEVER set two RKPs to the same address. Setting the address of an RKP is described in the remote keypad instructions. If an RKP is configured but off- line the system will have a tamper fault. ALWAYS power down the control panel when wiring a remote keypad (RKP).

If an older version remote keypad has been fitted the system must be programmed for old style sounds as follows: Enter the Engineer code ? , press , enter , press  ****, press , press .

Programming Zone Types • ****
The Zone Type of a zone determines how the system will behave when the zone is opened.

Description of Zone Types
The Control Panel supports eight different Zone Types. Each zone may be programmed with one of these Zone Types which are described as follows:

Push To Set
Push to Set is intended to reduce false alarms due to user error when full setting the system. The user starts full set in the usual way and leaves the premises. However the  system will ONLY set when an external push button is pressed. The Zone Type of the zone to which the external push button is connected must be programmed as Push to Set.

The Push to Set option must also be selected (see page 19, Option 6).
If the zone is set to chime (see User Guide) then the push button can double up as a doorbell.
The external push button should be waterproof unless it is located in an enclosed porch.
Push to Set does not operate in part set.
Push to Set satisfies the requirements of NACP 14, lssue 1, Section 2.1.2.

Inhibited Entry
Inhibited Entry is sometimes referred to as ‘Intermediate Entry’ or Walk Through’. Opening a zone with this Zone Type when the panel is set will cause an alarm. During entry
mode, activations of a zone with this Zone Type are disregarded. This Zone Type would typically be used for a hall PIR when there is a magnetic contact on the front door.

Guard
Guard zones are sometimes referred to as ‘Intruder’ zones. Opening a zone with this Zone Type when the system is set will cause an alarm. When the control panel is unset, Guard zones are ignored. In a typical system most zones would have this Zone Type.

Fire
This Zone Type is designed specifically for smoke detectors. Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly even when the panel is unset. If activated they will cause a unique alarm with a distinctive ‘Fire’ tone on the internal speaker. In addition, the external sounder will be pulsed rather than sounding continuously in contrast to a normal alarm.

Tamper
Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly even when the panel is unset. If activated they will cause an immediate alarm. The Global System Tamper zone is factory-set to this Zone Type.

Programming options allow the Tamper alarm response to be limited to the internal sounder if the system is unset or part set (see page 18).

Entry/Exit
Openi ng a zone with this Zone Type when the system is set will cause the control panel to start entry mode. This Zone Type would typically be used for a front door magnetic contact or, if one is not fitted, a hall PIR.

The Final Door Set option (see page 18) will cause the exit time to be reduced to 3 seconds when an Entry/Exit zone is closed during exit mode. This option would typically be used only when there is a magnetic contact on the front door.

Personal Attack
This Zone Type is designed specifically for panic buttons. Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly even when the panel is unset. If activated, they will cause an immediate alarm, sounding both the internal and external sounders.

Keyswitch
This Zone Type is designed specifically for key switches. Zones with this Zone Type are monitored constantly. The key switch can be used to full set, unset, silence an alarm and reset the system.

Ensure that there are no 24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and  Tamper) in fault when using a key switch to reset the system.
A Keyswitch zone as follows:
Activating the zone i.e. closed to open will cause the system to set and clearing the zone again i.e. open to closed will cause the system to unset. PA codes, Duress codes and  eypad PA are entered from a keypad and therefore cannot be reset by a key switch but only by entry of a valid User code.

24 Hour Zone Types
24 Hour zones (Fire , PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push to Set zones should be monitored constantly.

When a zone is omitted the system no longer monitors opening and closing of that zone. The Full and Part Set Suites (see page 25) provide a method of automatically omitting zones when the system is set. Once a zone is omitted it will not be re-included until the system is next set. It is important to ensure that 24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push to Set zones are not omitted by any of the Full or Part Set Suites or the Cleaner Suite.

The system can be programmed to automatically change the Zone Type of any zone into either Exit/Entry, Inhibited Entry or Guard on selected part sets (see page 22). The change will persist until the system is unset. It is important to ensure that 24 Hour zones (Fire , PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push to Set zones are not changed on part set.

If EN 50131-1 Requirements is selected (see page 17) then omitted zones will be re-included when the system is next unset.

Programming the Zone Type – –
Each of the eight Zone Types has an associated Zone Type number which is used when programming the Zone Type of a zone:

Zone Type Number

|

Zone Type

---|---
1| Push To Set
2| Inhibited Entry
3| Guard
4| Fire
5| Tamper
6| Entry/Exit
7| Personal Attack (Panic)
8| Keyswitch

From the Programming Menu, press (I) followed by the zone number. The Zone Type currently selected will indicate i.e. Entry/Exit.

Press the Zone Type number required. Press (PR0G.). The system will chime to confirm the new Zone Type has been accepted. The system will then automatically revert to the Programming Menu.
For example to program Zone 7 as a Guard zone, enter , press , press .

Safety Notes
Mains voltage is factory set and not adjustable – see label on transformer. Removal of the transformer is prohibited and will invalidate the warranty. Only use batteries of the specified type. Dispose of used batteries safely according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Locate the battery inside the panel in the space provided. This equipment is designed for dry indoor use only. When replacing a fuse always observe the specified rating and type – failure to do so is dangerous and will invalidate the warranty. Fuses should comply with IEC 127. The press-seal bag must NOT be stored inside the panel.

Warranty
All Texecom products are desi gned for reliable, trouble-free operation. Quality is carefully monitored by extensive computerised testing. As a result the Control Panel is covered by a two year warranty against defects in material or workmanship (details on request).

As the Control Panel is not a complete alarm system but only a part thereof, Texecom cannot accept responsibility or liability for any damages whatsoever based on a claim that the Control Panel failed to function correctly. Due to our policy of continuous improvement Texecom reserve the right to change specification without prior notice.

The Veritas 8, Veritas 8Compact and Veritas RB are protected by UK & International Registered Design. Registered Design Numbers: 2041829, 2055230 and 2041830.

European Standards
Conforms to European Union (EU) Low Voltage Directive (LVD) 73/23/EEC (amended by 93/68/EEC) and Electro­ Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive 89/336/EEC
(amended by 92/31 / EEC and 93/68/EEC).
The CE mark indicates that this product complies with the European requirements for safety, health, environmental and customer protection. EN 50131
In order to comply with EN 50131-1 several functional changes may be invoked using Miscellaneous Selections Zero, Option 5 (see page 17). In addition the following points should be noted:

• In order to comply with EN 50131-1 Engineer access must first be authorised by a user, therefore Installer codes will only be accepted when the system is unset. If dditional restriction is required then Engineer access may be time limited to the first 30 seconds after the system is unset (see page 17).

• In order to comply with EN 50131-1 neither Internals Only on Part Set Zone Alarm nor Internals Only on Part Set Tamper Alarm should be selected (see page 18).

• In order to comply with EN 50131-1 Single Button Setting should not be selected (see page 17).

• In order to comply with EN 50131-1:
  • Do not fit more than 10 unpowered detectors per zone,
  • Do not fit more than one non-latching powered detector per zone,
  • Do not mix unpowered detectors and non-latching powered detectors on a zone.

• In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Entry Time should not be programmed to more than 45 seconds (see page 24).

• In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Bell Cut-Off Time should be programmed between 02 and 15 minutes (see page 24).

• In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the Bell Delay Time should not be programmed to more than 10 minutes (see page 24).

• EN 50131-1 requires that detector activation LEDs shall only be enabled during Walk Test. This is most conveniently achieved by using detectors with a Remote LED Disable input (e.g. the Texecom Rf360, Rf650 & Rf Extreme Pl Rs) connected to the panel SW+ output, programmed to operate during Walk Test (see page 20)

• EN 50131-6 requires that the power supply output ripple should not exceed 5% at mains voltages down to 207Vc. This limits the maximum rated output of the power supply to 600mA. The power supply can supply more than this at higher mains voltages or if greater ripple is accepted, for example at 230VA the power supply can deliver up to 1A.

• The standby time is the time for which the system power supply is capable of supplying its rated output current when running on battery only (i.e. in the event of mains failure). In order to comply with EN 50131-1 the standby time should be at least 8 hours for Grade 1 Systems and at least 15 hours for Grade 2 Systems. In order to comply with EN 50131-6 the Standby Time should be at least 12 hours for both Grade 1 and 2  Systems. For smaller battery sizes this means that the rated output of the power supply will actually be determined by the capacity of the standby battery and will be less than the power supply is capable of supplying (with the mains on). The rated output of the power supply may be calculated by dividing the capacity of the battery by the required standby time where the result is smaller than the maximum rated
  output of 600mA.
  Rated output currents for typical battery sizes are shown in the following table:

| | Standby Time
---|---|---
| | 8hrs| 12hrs| 15hrs
Battery

Capacity

| 1.2 Ah| 150mA| 100mA| 80mA
2.1Ah| 263mA| 175mA| 140mA
3.0Ah| 375mA| 250mA| 200mA
7.0Ah| 600mA| 583mA| 467mA

1. Engineer Reset prevents the user from resetting the system. It is not in itself a method of resetting the system.
2. EN 50131-1 separately defines Zone Inhibit and Zone Isolate optional facilities. The Zone Omit facility supported by the Control Panel corresponds to Inhibit. The Zone Disable facility supported by the Control Panel corresponds to Isolate.
3. When the battery voltage falls below the minimum system operating voltage it will be indicated as a power fault if the mains is on and will cause alarm if the mains is off.
4. The Control Panel Reset facility corresponds to the EN 50131-1 Restore function.
5. EN 50131-6 states that for integrated power supplies the environmental and tamper considerations of the control panel should be applied.

This equipment is designed to  enable an intruder alarm system in which it is installed to comply with the requirements of security grades 1 or 2 of EN 50131-1, and EN 50131-6, and is suitable for installation in any indoor environment.
