alphatronics unii Modular Security Solution User Manual
INTRODUCTION
Purpose of this manual
The purpose of this manual is to help the user get familiar with the UNii
intrusion system. The manual explains about how to operate and control the
control panel. Several of the special options explained in this manual can
only be executed by the main user (supervisor).
General guidelines for use of the system
Do not panic when the alarm goes off. Disarm the system with your PIN code,
access tag or wireless remote control (keyfob) and read the information that
is shown on the display of the keypad.
The system works with a keypad that has an OLED display. The OLED displays information about the status of your system. If the information on the display is not clear, first consult this user manual.
Never hand your PIN code, access tag or keyfob over to another user, this can lead to unpleasant situations.
If a malfunction occurs, first consult this user manual. If the fault persists, contact your installer immediately. Your installer will give you further instructions.
Note important events (false alarm, user error, etc.) in a logbook including zone number, date, and time. During annual maintenance, the installer may be able to take measures to prevent these situations in the future.
The UNii intrusion system is an advanced electronic device that has been professionally installed and commissioned by a professional installer. This device is called the “control panel”. The detection components, optical and acoustic alarm devices such as strobe lights, sirens and alarm diallers are connected to the control panel. The UNii is equipped with an integrated IP dialler that is connected to a free LAN port of your broadband modem / router for reporting alarms to, for example, a monitoring station.
The UNii security alarm system is armed and disarmed via the connected keypad
using a PIN code or access tag.
It is also possible to arm and disarm the security system via a (user) APP on
the smartphone or tablet.
The system has been designed and tested according to the European standards regarding stability, reliability, and insensitivity to external electrical interference.
Keypad
Below is a picture of the UNii keypad.
- OLED display
- Keys
- Function keys
- Proximity sensor
- Card reader (optional)
- Navigation keys
Keys
The numerical keys 0 to 9 are used to enter a PIN code or numerical values in
the menus.
The keypad has 4 black function keys, these keys are located above the numeric
keys and have no fixed function.
Depending on the status of the system, the operation being performed or the
menu in which the user is located, the function of the function key may
change. The function of the key is indicated by a text directly above the key
in the display. The 3 left function keys can also be used as a shortcut. A
hotkey can perform a specific action, such as switching on a certain section
immediately in the night situation or activating an output. Ask your installer
about the options.
The keypad has Navigation keys, the numeric keys 2, 4, 6 and 8 are next to numeric keys also a navigation key. When navigation is possible or desired, the key illumination will go out under all other keys. With the navigation keys, only the keys of the navigation directions that are currently possible will light up.
Proximity sensor
The keypad is equipped with a proximity sensor. The proximity sensor causes
the key backlight illumination and OLED display to light up as soon as
movement is detected in the nearby vicinity of the keypad. The sensitivity of
the proximity sensor can be set by the supervisor in the user menu. See
keyboard settings later on in this manual.
Display
In the picture below the OLED display of the UNii keypad is shown.
- System name (2 lines)
- Function of the function keys
- Local Time
- Indication that there is a message in the system.
- Indication that the installer is authorised to enter the programming.
- System is in test mode (contact your installer)
Card reader
The keypad of the UNii security system is available in 2 versions: a standard
version and a luxury version with a built-in card reader. The card reader is
located directly under the numeric key 5. The card reader uses the latest
DESFire EV2 reading technology, the most secure reading technology at this
moment. The reading distance of the card reader is approximately 5 cm above
the numeric key.
Sections and Groups
The UNii security system uses Sections and Groups.
A section is a part of the security system and can be armed and disarmed independently from the rest of the system. An example of a section is for example, the ground floor of a residential house, a wing of an office building or the warehouse of a company. Each section has a name that is programmed by the installer during installation.
Groups can also be created above the section structure. A group can be created to arm or disarm multiple sections simultaneously. An example of a group is complete floor of a building of the entire house, a group also has a name that is programmed by the installer during installation.
Groups and sections can be armed and disarmed by a user by means of a PIN code or DESFire tag.
Operation
Arming
To arm the system, press the function button “Arm”, You will now be asked to
enter a valid PIN code. Once the valid PIN code has been entered, the section
or group for which the user is authorized will be displayed and can be armed.
An open circle is shown in front of the name of the section or group, this
indicates that the section or group is disarmed, if the circle is flashing the
section or group is not ready to be armed. If the circle is closed, then the
section or group is already armed.
Select the section or groups to be armed by using the “Select” function key, a tick will appear behind each section or group. Multiple section or groups can be selected. When all section or groups are selected press the “Arm” function key to arm the selected sections or groups.
After starting the arming procedure, the exit delay is heard (if set) via the buzzer of the keypad. The buzzer beeps faster during the last 5 seconds of the exit time. Opening a delayed zone after the exit time has expired will start the entry procedure.
If an arming cannot be successfully completed (e.g., if an input remains open)
then the system will not be armed.
At that moment, a double beep will be heard via the buzzer of the keypad and
on the loudspeaker output of the UNi.
In addition to using a PIN code, it is also possible to arm with a tag/card if the keypad is equipped with a built-in card reader. For arming with a tag/card, see “Arming with a tag” later in this manual.
NB. When the system is configured by the installer for arming without a PIN- code, the step to request a PIN-code will be skipped.
Disarming
To disarm the system, press the function button “Disarm”, you will now be
asked to enter a valid PIN code. After entering a valid code, the sections or
group that can be disarmed are displayed. A closed circle is displayed in
front of the name of the section or group, indicating that the section or
group is armed. Use the “Select” function key to select the section or group
to be disabled, a tick will appear after each section or group. Multiple
sections or groups can be selected. If all sections or groups are selected
press the “Disarm” function key to disarm the selected sections or groups.
Hot ke ys
The 3 left function keys can also be used as a hotkey. For example, your
installer can program a hotkey to be used to arm certain sections in the night
mode or activate an output to open the gate. Ask your installer about the
options.
Status
The section statuses of the system can be viewed using the section function
key. An open circle means section or group disarmed, a flashing circle means
section or group not ready to arm, and a closed circle means section or group
armed.
Menu
This function key opens the user menu where several functions and menus can be
found. See the “User menu” chapter for more explanation about individual
functions and menus.
Arming with a tag
If the keypad is equipped with a built-in card reader, it is possible to arm
and disarm the system using a DESFire EV2 tag or card. Depending on the tag
settings (direct arm/disarm or normal), the tag will work as if a normal (PIN)
code has been entered and the user must first select the relevant sections or
groups and press the “arm” function key to arm. If direct is programmed the
system will be armed immediately if all sections or groups linked to the tag
are disarmed. If one or more sections or groups are already armed, the system
will disarm, arming will be done by presenting the tag again.
Information
If information is present, the system will indicate this by showing the “i”
symbol on the right-hand side of the display and an audible beep via the
buzzer of the keypad. With function key 3 (info) the information can be
displayed and possibly deleted. When all messages have been deleted, the “i”
symbol will disappear from the display.
Time switches
The system can be programmed to arm and disarm automatically, for an
explanation see chapter “Time switch” in the User menu.
Test mode
When the installer has placed the system in the test mode, the ‘!’ Symbol is
shown in the display. For more information consult your installer.
Installer authorised
If the installer is authorized by the supervisor (main user code) to access
the system, a tool symbol is shown on the right of the display. The supervisor
has the choice to give the installer only installer rights or to give
installer + user rights. A time limit can also be entered for how long the
installer has authorization for the system.
If the installer is not authorized by the supervisor, he cannot do anything in the system.
Audible signals of the system
Alarm: Alarm siren sound will be heard via the connected siren or speaker.
Fire: Slow-whoop fire sound will be heard via the connected siren or speaker.
Key stroke: Short tone 0,5 seconds.
Trouble buzzer: ●□●□● short tone every 10 seconds
(can de set to no sound during the night).
Entry buzzer: Constant tone (during programmed time).
Exit buzzer: ● □ ● □ ● □ intermitted tone (last 5 seconds faster).
Tones
● = 0,5 sec. tone

User Menu
In this chapter the different programming options and functions of the (user) menu are explained. Depending on the rights (set in the profile of users), some options may or may not be visible.
Information
The following functions are available under the “Information” sub-menu:
Notifications
The notifications menu shows the alarm and / or system events that are still
present in the system’s memory. The messages can be deleted using the “Delete
all” function key, provided the alarm situation has been removed. If
notifications cannot be deleted, a new notification will be given.
Open inputs
Using this menu option, it is possible to see which inputs (sensors) are still
open (in alarm).
Section status
The status section is displayed in this option. An open circle indicates
section is disarmed, a flashing circle indicates section not ready to arm, a
closed circle means section armed.
Event log
The last 1000 system events are stored in the Event log menu and cannot be
deleted. By selecting a log line with function key “Select”, detailed
information can be displayed if available.
System info
This screen shows the software version of the system and the IP address.
UNii manager key
This screen shows the unique key of your UNii security system. The installer
needs this key to connect to the UNii manager tool to program the system.
Overtime
With this option an overtime time can be programmed for the automatic arming
function, if used. Select the correct time switch from the list and enter the
time you would like the system to stay disarmed.
(Un)-Bypass
A list of inputs is displayed in the bypass menu, a selected input can be
bypassed or un-bypassed. By bypassing an input, it is temporarily disabled.
Not all inputs can be bypassed, this is determined by the installer during
installation.
Users
In the user menu you can, if permitted, modify your own user settings, or
create a new user (only possible for supervisors). Depending on the UNii
control panel model, the system has a maximum of 2,000 users. A code consists
of 6 digits, with which 999,999 different code combinations can be made. A
code with only 000000 is invalid.
In the usermenu the following main options are available:
- Change own data.
- Edit existing user.
- Add user.
Add user
Only possible for a user with administrator rights (Default this is User 1),
this is normally only the supervisor of the system. A new user code can be
created with this option. You will be asked twice to enter the new (PIN) code.
After the (PIN) code has been created, the user settings can be changed via
the “Change own data” or via the “Edit existing user”
Edit existing user
Only possible for a user with administrator rights (Default this is User 1).
If the ‘Change existing user’ is selected, a list of users is shown in the
display. Use the arrow up (key 2) and arrow down (key 8) to find the desired
user and press the key or “Select” function key to view and / or modify the
settings for this user.
If tags are used to arm and disarm the system, the user can also be searched
in the system by presenting his / her tag. Once the list of users is displayed
press the “Search” function key and present the tag to the reader on the
keypad, the display will now jump to the user associated with this tag. Press
the key or “Select” function key to
view and / or modify the settings for this user.
The following user settings are present in the ‘Change own data’ of ‘Edit existing user’ menu’s:
Change name
Change the username. The username is displayed in the logbook and reported to
a monitoring station.
Change code
Change the PIN-code you use to arm/disarm the system. The code cannot be
changed to a code that already exists or to a duress code. The code 000000
code is an invalid code.
Change code functionality
Changing the function of the (PIN) code. Options are:
- Code Direct arm and disarm
- Code to menu.
Code Direct arm and disarm ensures that all sections or groups linked to this user code are armed or disarmed directly, Code to menu instructs the user to first select the section or groups and use the ‘arm’ or ‘disarm’ function keys to arm or disarm the sections or groups.
Change language
When the user is logged in, the menus can be displayed in a different language
than the standard system language.
Change profile
With this option a user can be linked to a profile. Different profiles can be
created for different groups or types of users. A profile defines which
section (s) may be armed and disarmed.
Add tag
With this function, the user’s own tag can be enrolled or replaced. The change
is established by presenting the card in front of the built-in card reader of
the keypad.
Remove tag
A programmed tag can be deleted with this option.
Advanced settings
Keypad settings
The settings below can be set individually for each keyboard and can only be
set on the keyboard where the menu is displayed.
LED brightness
The brightness of the key backlighting can be adjusted here (per keypad).

Proximity sensor
Here the sensitivity of the proximity sensor can be set, if desired it can
also be switched off, the display and key illumination will only light up when
a key is pressed.
Doorbell
For each input the option is available to program it as a doorbell function,
the doorbell sound can be switched on and off by the user on the keypad. If
the doorbell function is switched on and an input is disrupted when the system
is disarmed, an output programmed as “doorbell” and / or the speaker output of
the system will briefly emit a sound. This function is very useful to indicate
that a door is opened during the day.
mySmartControl
With this option the system can be linked to the mySmartControl cloud service.
For more information about mySmartControl see chapter “General”.
Ask your installer about the availability and possibilities of the (mobile)
APP.
Change Date/Time
The system date and system time can be changed with this option. If the
installer has set an NTP server in the programming, the date and time will be
automatically retrieved and daylight-saving time and wintertime will be
automatically be adjusted in the system.
If desired, the NTP server option can be turned off, then the date and time
must be set manually, and you will have to adjust the time manually during the
transition to summer and winter time.
System test menu
Access installer
For maintenance on the system, the supervisor must give the installer access
to the system, this can be done via this option. Here also a time is set in
hours that the installer has access to the system, after the time has elapsed
the installer automatically no longer has access to the system.
Input test
An input of the system can be tested using this option. Select the desired
input from the list using the navigation keys and press the ‘Select’ function
key. Activate the input by opening the door or window or walking through the
room, a signal will be heard when the input is activated.
General
mySmartControl
The UNii can be connected to the mySmartControl Cloud service.
Using mySmartControl the UNii can be remotely controlled by a (mobile) APP and
in the event of an alarm a push notification can be received on the smartphone
and / or tablet. For linking the UNii with mySmartControl, consult the chapter
“mySmartControl” in the user menu.
For more information regarding My Smart Control, visit
www.mysmartcontrol.com.
Entry- and Exit mode
The UNii is equipped with a special functionality, in accordance with the
EN50131 guidelines, to reduce false alarms. If your installer has enabled this
option in the programming, the entry and exit mode works as follows:
- If a direct or 24-hour zone is activated during an exit delay (you leave the premises), the arming process will be cancelled. This is acoustically represented by a short signal via the LS (speaker) output. A notification (SIA code CI) is also sent to the monitoring station that the arming has been cancelled.
- If during an entry delay (you enter the premises) a direct or 24 hour zone is activated, connected sounders (sirens and flash units) will be activated immediately, but the alarm reporting to the monitoring station will be delayed for at least 30 seconds later and always after expiry of the entry delay time. If the system is disarmed before the total time has elapsed (at least 30 seconds and always after the end of the entry delay), no notification will be sent to the monitoring station.
- If it is not possible to disarm the system within the entry delay time then all connected alarm devices will be activated after the entry time has elapsed, but the alarm reporting to the monitoring station will be delayed for 30 seconds.
Screensaver
To extend the lifetime of the display on the keypad, it is automatically
switched off after a few seconds.
Using the built-in approach sensor in each keypad, the display and key
backlight are automatically switched on when someone comes close to the
keypad. Your installer can set the distance of the approach sensor or only
switch it on with a key is pressed.
Alarm in a 24-hour zone
If an alarm occurs in a 24-hour zone, for example a fire zone, an immediate
alarm will occur regardless of whether the system is armed or disarmed. To
stop the siren (and possibly the strobe) a disarming must be performed, if the
system is disarmed it must be disarmed again.
Protection against the ‘unauthorised’ entering of PIN codes
The system is protected against unauthorized entering of PIN codes. After
entering an incorrect code 3 times, the operation of the keypad is completely
blocked for 90 seconds. The blocking is repeated after every incorrect code
until a valid PIN code is entered. If the control panel reports to an ARC, a
special event will also be reported.
Menu overview
The following function and options are available in the (User) Menu. Press the
“Menu” function key to enter the menu, enter a valid PIN code. Some menus or
functions may not be visible, this depends on the user rights in the system.
The supervisor code has access to all menus and options.
