GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTROL PANEL
The CA-10 plus alarm control panel is a new version of the hitherto manufactured
CA-10. The changes, as compared with the previous version, refer mainly to the
design and technical parameters of the panel. Its resistance to surge currents has
been considerably improved, so now it meets by a good margin the requirements of
standards consistent with the European Union EMC 89/336/UE Directive. It is
a state-of-the-art, microprocessor-based alarm control panel, developed in
accordance with the latest trends in the field of burglary and assault signaling.
The alarm control panel incorporates a number of solutions, which were previously
encountered only in special purpose equipment. Some of the solutions are an
absolute novelty.
Basic functional features:
• operating the panel from remote LCD text display keypads or from LED
keypads,
• connection of up to four independent keypads,
• remote control by means of a telephone set (selected functions) – support of the
MST-1 module,
• possibility of four-partition operation, with completely separate alarm systems, or
common zone partitions or internal partitions,
• 10 to 16 fully programmable zone inputs (8 zones on the main board, 2 on
each keypad, extension through zones of next keypads or expander), each
capable of performing one of 21 functions,
• support of any detectors in NO, NC, EOL and two-parameter (2EOL)
configuration with individual zone violation,
• 6 programmable outputs, each being able to perform any of 41 functions.
• built-in telephone communicator for:
- messaging to two monitoring stations,
- messaging alarm condition via pager systems,
- messaging alarm condition with voice announcement,
- answering a call and reporting the system status,
- remote service from a modem equipped computer,
• built-in RS-232 interface makes it possible to connect a printer (for printing event
log or current data) and program the control panel from a PC.
• internal clock for automatically arming / disarming partitions with TIMER
function,
• operating the system with independent access codes by 32 users (up to 13 in
each partition) - the codes can have different authority levels, and their use is
recorded in the event log,
• nonvolatile memory of 255 last events, which gathers information about arming,
disarming, alarms, troubles, etc., with date and time of occurrence, and panel
user number,
• possibility to supervise guard rounds with TIMER function,
• automatic monitoring of the alarm system performance, inclusive of finding
a damaged or blocked detector.
Its comprehensive features and affordable price permit application of the CA-10 plus
both in small and medium-size alarm systems.
