Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 5 THE USER INTERFACE This chapter outlines how the user interface of Euro-MERiDIAN has been designed to be as user-friendly as possible, and thus minimise the risk of false alarms or reduced security levels for the system. A: SECURITY PATTERNS b) AREA SETTING a) LEVEL SETTING (Euro-134 and 256, also default option on Euro-44+) (Euro-10, 12, 22 and 28, also option on Euro-44+) The user has the choice of setting security level A or B or C or D.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. If a multiple area code is entered at a suitable Keypad, when some of the relevant areas are set and others unset, the default response will be to set the additional areas. If entry time has started, then the response will be to unset those areas which are set. FLEXI-SET ‘Flexi-Set’ may be selected (individually for each code), which will present the selected code holder(s) with the option to select individual area(s) from those available with his code / setting point combination.
Manual c) INTELLIGENT SETTING (i) LEVEL SETTING Euro-MERiDIAN when the system is definitely required to ‘fully’ set. This will function only if a code valid for ‘A’ (ALL) is used to set the system. The system will commence ‘full’ setting at ‘intelligent’ volume level. The 'intelligent' detector MUST be sited to ensure that ALL potential system users are correctly detected. Some "pet-immune" detectors are not suitable.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. ‘AB’ code at ‘A’ keypad will unset only A ‘B’ code at ‘AB’ keypad will unset only B. etc. The system will respond by unsetting the resulting valid areas. Keypad sounders respond only to signals for areas they control. It is essential that the system be programmed such that all areas that may be set can also be unset; and that all areas to which zones are allocated can be unset.
Manual E: SILENT SETTING This is NOT available as a user choice when setting the system. It can be arranged by careful use of the area exit tone volume levels. Settings 0 and 1 are both silent setting 1 has audible 'chime' at end of exit time. A Site Option is available for exit and entry tones to be generated by Keypad sounders only F: EXIT MODES ‘Timed’ mode sets the system when the programmed exit time has expired, provided all zones on the exit route are clear.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering G: KEYSWITCH OPERATION b) Exit mode This is an alternative means of setting the system, using a key operated switch (or equivalent electronic means) to perform the setting procedure. When a Keyswitch zone is in use, the exit mode, etc. are the same as would apply if an equivalent code were entered at Keypad address 00 (note the "IN" settings). Two options are available: Keyswitch Zone: When activated, the system will commence exit time in the normal way.
Manual I: FAIL TO SET If the exit procedure is not correctly completed, a ‘Fail to Set’ warning may be used. The time delay before this becomes operative may be programmed (see page 13-18). At the end of this period, an alarm will be generated if the site option “Set Fail = Alarm” is selected (page 13-35). The ‘alarm response’ will be the relevant programmed option. Alternatively, an output may be programmed as “Set Fail” which can be used to initiate a dedicated signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Additionally, codes / tags may be restricted to specific area(s), and to set only or unset only. Tags may also be programmed for Access Control and Ward Control applications. Mixing codes of different lengths is NOT recommended. From Software 3·1, an option is available to restrict managers to programming TAGs only – not codes.
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 6 INDICATIONS and TONES This chapter explains the indications available to the user, and the options available for tailoring these. a) Keypad Liquid Crystal Display Displays all relevant system information. In factory default mode, entry of a code is required in order to view this. Options are available (see 6-2). b) Setting Point LED Display 5 system LEDs are provided at each Keypad and Set/Unset Tag Reader. These are tailored to the requirements of EN.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering d) Backlighting f) Engineer Reset LCDs and Keypad keys are backlit. The backlighting will illuminate at the start of entry and exit times, and at key (or tag) entry, and will remain lit for 30 seconds after the last key entry, or termination of the function. If the system indicates ‘Engineer Reset Required’ (see ‘Site Options’), this must be performed before the area(s) on the system to which it applies can be used again.
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN g) Display Options (i) Customise Text Strings The ‘area setting’ text strings can be programmed to make the display meaningful to the user. Additionally, the ‘sign-on message’ can be customised.

Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 7 PARTITIONING THE SYSTEM This chapter identifies the alternative methods of sub-dividing the system for operating convenience. Please refer also to the BSIA “Guidelines for Intruder Alarm Systems Incorporating Split Systems.” A: SECURITY PATTERNS ‘adding to’ or ‘subtracting from’ the list of areas set at any time. a) LEVEL SETTING Euro-44+ has four such areas, Euro134 eight and Euro-256 fourteen.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. relevant to areas for which the entry route is valid will apply. c) Wards and Shunts Additional partitions may be set up as subdivisions of areas (or levels) by the use of WARDS or SHUNTS. For details, refer to chapter 16. B: ZONES ‘ANY or ‘ALL’ When AREA SETTING is in use. As a general rule, zones should be programmed to a single area. However, there are applications requiring zones to be allocated to more than one area.
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 8 EMERGENCY ALARMS This chapter discusses the facilities included in Euro-MERiDIAN for emergency situations. NOTE: Emergency zone types are NOT active whilst the system is in engineer mode.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering B: FIRE ALARMS D: MIMIC DISPLAYS The system can accept Fire detectors directly into zones programmed accordingly or, alternatively, a trigger from a dedicated Fire Alarm system. This will initiate a Full audible alarm (sounds differentiated from standard sounds) and a communicator ‘Fire’ output. A customised mimic display may be driven from suitably programmed Output Modules.
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 9 REMOTE SIGNALLING This chapter summarises the options available for remote signalling from the system and details the facilities available for compliance with DD243:2002. A: ARC Signalling Using the Slot-in Digi-Modem The digicom may be used independently of the modem function. A variety of formats are available, including standard ‘fast' and 'extended' formats, which are fully programmable.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering C: AREA SIGNALLING Entry Pre-Alarm Timer ‘Set/Unset’ ‘Intruder’ ‘Hold Up’ ‘PA’ and ‘Confirmation’ signals are available for each area individually. Introduces a programmable delay before triggering of the ‘intruder’ signal, if the alarm is generated after entry time has started.
Manual arm Isolates’ (in ‘SITE OPTIONS’) is selected, in which case the zone will remain isolated until manually reset (unless it is a ‘Final Exit’ zone). Misoperation (Abort) Signalling May be signalled: A: By dedicated ‘Misoperation’ signal B: By generation of the ‘unset’ signal All these options will be signalled (if programmed) when a valid user code is entered after the generation of the ‘intruder’ signal. There is no time limit on this.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. E: SEQUENTIAL CONFIRMATION SIGNALLING DD243:2002 Compliance All Euro-MERiDIAN models include necessary functionality for systems to comply with the requirements of DD243:2002. They have been tested to the "BSIA Manufacturers Check List for Compliance of CIE with Requirements of DD243:2002." A number of additional options are provided to enhance system performance.
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN OPERATION: b) Entry Route Operation: a) Normal operation Applicable only if the means of entry selected permits sequential confirmation to remain available (page 9-8): The first zone to alarm will cause an ‘intruder’ signal to be sent to the ARC, which should be interpreted as ‘unconfirmed alarm.’ A second zone going into alarm prior to the end of ‘confirmation time’ will be signalled as ‘confirmed’ for notification to the police.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. COMPLIANCE WITH SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS a) Basic Operation Normal operation of a "Sequentially Confirmed" system requires the following signals to be sent to the ARC: Intruder (03) at first alarm Confirmation at second valid (06) alarm Zone omit at in the event of Rearm (17) a zone being omitted at Reinstatement of the system at the end of confirmation time Set/Unset (04) When system sets / unsets OR Misoperation When system (05) manually unset following an alarm.
Manual b) Means of Completion of Setting DD243:2002 permits a variety of methods. These should be considered carefully and compared to the permitted 'means of unsetting' to select the most suitable combination. For details of zone programming, refer page 13-6; Timers page 13-17; Exit modes page 13-19. ALL permitted options can be used with Euro-MERiDIAN. (i) Key Operated Shunt Lock fitted to final exit door: Wire suitable lock to zone programmed as "Final exit." Programme exit mode as "Final Door.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. (ii) Unlocking initial entry door disables all means of confirmation: Wire lock contacts as "Final Exit" zone with programming option "Disable confirmation on entry" selected (see page 13-25). Note: This readily combines with "completion of setting by means of key operated shunt lock on final exit door.
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN e) Additional Facilities CAUTION: Additional facilities are available for use in conjunction with Sequential Confirmation signalling, as follows: The 'Entry Shock' function should only be used after careful risk assessment. It is essential that the shock detector is properly adjusted, and that the door construction / fittings are adequate for the purpose. (i) 'Entry Shock' zone type: Patent applied for. This zone type is always used in conjunction with a 'Final Exit' zone.

Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 11 WIRING THE SYSTEM This chapter describes how the system should be wired for maximum effectiveness. Note that all components use the same identification for equivalent applications – eg D1,2,3,4 will ALWAYS be the RS.485 terminations, etc. The connection details that follow therefore are general to the entire system B: SCREENED CABLE A: PLANNING THE CABLE ROUTES When screened cable is used, the screen should be terminated at the End Station (or Zone Expander Unit) only.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering C: WIRING SPECIFICATIONS The following specifications must be observed when installing Euro-MERiDIAN alarm systems: A: General Principles: 1 Routing: NO alarm system cable should be run with other cables carrying AC or digital signals 2 Insulation: Protected by the use of grommets, etc. where appropriate. 3 Specifications: The following specifications for cable types and distances are important for reliable operation. B: RS-485 Wiring (Keypad, etc.
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN D: RS.485 COMMUNICATIONS See wiring specifications on page 11-2. A maximum of 30 devices (including the End Station) may be connected to an RS485 network. For larger systems (ie Euro-256, refer chapter 24.) NOTE: On a small system (up to 5 peripheral devices connected to the RS-485 bus, with a maximum of 200 metres of cable) in an electrically ‘quiet’ environment, standard alarm cable (4-core) may be used for this network, but this is NOT best practice. E.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering WIRING See wiring specifications on page 11-2. Single- or Double-resistor EoL wiring may be used. NOTE: Zones are available only at nominated Keypads – see page 4-5 SINGLE RESISTOR WIRING This is NOT suitable for systems installed to BS.4737, or to EN.50131 systems in grades 2 and above.
Manual DOUBLE RESISTOR WIRING This is suitable for all systems installed to BS.4737, or to EN.50131. The 2K2 resistor MUST be located at the furthest point on the wiring circuit, or the wiring security it provides will be lost Euro-MERiDIAN Resistor colour code: 2K2 – Red / Red / Red / Gold 4K7 – Yellow / Purple / Red / Gold NORMALLY OPEN DETECTORS should be connected in the same way, with the ‘Normally Open’ attribute selected when programming the zone.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering F: iD Wiring Castle Care-Tech Ltd. is a permitted user of iD. See wiring specifications on page 11-2. System response cannot be guaranteed if these specifications are not followed. For details of zone numbering, see page 4-5. The use of SCREENED cable is specified to minimise any problems from RFI, especially taking into account the lack of control over any wiring installed after the alarm system is commissioned.
Manual The standard wiring convention is YELLOW for the iD Line +, and BLUE for the iD Line –, which thus match the colour coding of the biscuit itself. The third, WHITE, connection to the biscuit is used for the switch contact, as follows: YELLOW: iD+ Term E4 BLUE: iD - Term E3 Tamper switch: In series with YELLOW Switch contact: Between WHITE and BLUE The connections of the biscuit in a typical PIR are as follows: Euro-MERiDIAN connection to the next detector at the other.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. HINT: It will be found beneficial for subsequent maintenance and faultfinding purposes, to have a simple record of the cable layout and biscuit order available, eg: Engineering Reminders for successful installation of an iD system: 1. Ensure that all biscuits are correctly connected 2. Ensure that safe wiring distances are not exceeded and cable runs are correctly terminated. iD JUNCTION BOX TYPES: T Basic junction box for extending cables, spurring, etc.
Manual G: iD COMMISSIONING READINGS On completion of the installation, it is essential that the commissioning readings described below be taken, both to ensure the integrity of the system and to satisfy the documentation requirements of BS.4737, etc. This procedure has been agreed with NACOSS as an acceptable method of meeting these requirements: 1. Complete the wiring, but do not secure the detector housings. 2.

Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 12 POWERING UP COMPONENTS and ADDRESSING This chapter explains how to address the various system components, and perform the power-up routine. A: ADDRESSING SYSTEM COMPONENTS Before using the system, all items connected to the RS-485 communications bus must be allocated a unique address. The number of components that may be fitted is dependent upon the model, and is detailed on page 4-1.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering To address these items, identify the address coding switches, and open the switches to add up to the required address, thus: When you are satisfied that these are all correct, and that all components (except keypads) are correctly addressed, proceed .
Manual Euro-MERiDIAN Full programming of keypad addressing, etc. is performed as follows: From initial power up: ADDRESS Press YES [- -] If already initialised: ] Enter code 2000 ADDRESS [- -] In either case, use B or D keys or number keys to insert address required, eg 01 for address No.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. NOTES: Keypad 00 MUST be used the first time Engineer menu is accessed, and until remaining Keypads / Set/Unset Tag Readers are enabled in the main programming menu. All keypads should be correctly addressed BEFORE enabling them through the programming menu. Access to the keypad programming menu is possible at any time to adjust the settings.

MANUAL Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 22 DOWNLOADING WITH Euro-MERiDIAN This chapter outlines the features and benefits available from Downloading systems All members of the EuroMERiDIAN range include the ability to communicate with a ‘host’ personal computer at a remote location via a modem, or with a PC at site via RS-232 link. Almost any function available at the system keypads is available at the PC, and the alarm system may signal selected events to the PC.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. The PC provides full programming facilities for the system. Additionally, full test and diagnostic facilities for the system can be accessed. It is also possible to perform a ‘download reset,’ from the PC as well as set and unset the system (if it is in alarm condition, Guard Code Timer must have expired). It is NOT now possible to download data to the system whilst it is set, though logs, diagnostics, etc. may be uploaded to the PC.
MANUAL Euro-MERiDIAN Priority: ARC and SMS signalling will ALWAYS take priority over communication with the PC. Within the block of four numbers allocated to Digi and SMS calls, the priority is in numerical order. To prevent SMS taking priority, ensure that Digi calls are programmed as the first ‘call numbers,’ and as ‘retry same’ (NOT ‘try next’). ‘Stop on Success’ applies only to Digi-com calls.

MANUAL Euro-MERiDIAN Chapter 23 SMS Text Messages from EuroMERiDIAN This chapter explains the facility to transmit text messages to mobile ‘phones. Up to 32 different message groups may be programmed, for transmission to up to 4 different numbers. ALL message types within the selected group will be sent – this cannot be varied. The message groups may selected from the list below.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd. Engineering Message Groups available: CONTENT TYPE: 01 Set All set events (by area/level) 02 Unset All unset events (by area/level) 03 Special Unset Unset events initiated by codes 15 to 20 only (codes 11 to 12 on Euro-10 and 12).
MANUAL Euro-MERiDIAN Testing If live testing is conducted to a suitable telephone, please bear in mind that a delay in receipt is likely to be a function of the messaging service, rather than an alarm system fault. The Engineer Test menu contains an option to ‘Test CHC Communications’ that initiates a call to the CHC. The system will automatically carry out a test call to the CHC every two weeks. Castle CareTech will contact the alarm company in the event of this call not being received.
