1 Introduction
The Care-Tech 1700 control unit has been designed and manufactured in England to
provide the facilities necessary to form the heart of a sophisticated alarm system for the
protection of persons and property. Many of the facilities are programmed by the
installing company, who will be able to advise you on the availability of certain of the
features referred to in this manual.
The 1700 system consists of a central unit with up to three remote keypads to provide
the control facility.
The Keypad:
The system is powered from the mains supply, and is fitted with a rechargeable battery to
ensure that the system continues to function normally, for a minimum of eight hours,
during a mains power failure.

1.2 Terms Used
Certain terms used to describe features and operation of the system may be unfamiliar,
the principal ones are as follows:
DAY MODE The 'normal' state of the alarm system whilst the premises are
occupied, and the alarm switched 'OFF.' 'Personal Attack' facilities
remain functional, and the system will continue to monitor itself for
evidence of tampering. Also known as 'UNSET' or 'OPEN'
SWITCH ON The action of activating, or 'SETTING' the alarm system, whether
by use of the keypad or keyswitch.
SET The condition of the alarm system when armed, after the switching
on process has been completed - ie after the completion of the exit
time. Also known as 'CLOSED.'
FULL SET The condition of the alarm when the entire system is set
PART SET The condition of the alarm system when a pre-programmed portion
of the system is not armed - for example when setting the system at
night whilst still in the premises.
Two separate Part Setting areas are available.
EXIT TIME The time delay permitted after switching the system on and before
it becomes armed - during which you must leave the premises, and
close the final exit door.
ENTRY TIME The time delay permitted by the system after entering by the
authorised route, and during which the system must be switched
off, or an alarm will sound.
ENTRY-EXIT
ROUTE
The portion of the alarm system linked to the Exit and Entry timers,
through which exit and entry must be made.
ZONE or
CIRCUIT
A division of the system which is separately identified in the
indications at the control.
ZONE or
CIRCUIT
FAULT
Condition of one of the zones when one (or more) detectors are not
clear, thus preventing the system from being 'set' - eg a door left
open.
ZONE
OMISSION
The facility to disable an individual zone (or zones) whilst setting
the system
SYSTEM
FAULT
An incorrect electrical condition which may impair the correct
operation of the system - refer to these instructions for action
required.
Castle Care-Tech Ltd.
Page 4 Issue 3a
TAMPER A fault existing in the wiring, or securing of the housing of part of
the system, preventing normal operation.
PERSONAL
ATTACK (PA)
An alarm generated deliberately, to summon assistance if being
attacked, operative whether system is switched on or not. If remote
signalling is fitted, the PA alarm may be silent.
REMOTE
SIGNALLING
The facility (if fitted) for the system to automatically communicate
by telephone line with a remote Central Monitoring Station to
initiate a call to the police.
1.3 The Display
The Liquid Crystal display indicates the condition of your alarm system. This will clearly
show any information requiring your attention, as indicated in these instructions. The
most important indications are as follows:

1700 Alarm System (LCD) Operating Instructions
January 2000 Page 5
1.4 The Keypad
The 10 numeric keys are for entering your code for setting and unsetting the system, or
entering other information when required. Four lettered keys (A,B,C,D) are provided to
access additional functions. The # (YES) and * (NO) keys allow confirmation or
cancelling of codes entered, also the choice of 'Full' or 'Part' setting the system. Always
enter your code carefully and deliberately, never leaving more than 3 seconds between
consecutive presses, or the system will reset itself. If the system does not immediately
respond to your command, wait 3-4 seconds before trying again.
1.5 Operating Codes
There are three levels of access to the system as follows:
Code Details of use Factory pre-set To change
USER 4 different codes may be programmed
These enable the system to be set and unset.
1234 See 6.2
MANAGER A single code must be programmed, to
provide access to the 'Manager' menu only, so
that additional functions may be used.
2222 See 6.3
ENGINEER A single code is available to the installing company engineer to access the
programming facilities of the system
1.6 The Keyswitch
The keyswitch, if fitted, provides an alternative to the keypad for setting, unsetting or
resetting the system. The keypad(s) and keyswitch may be used interchangeably.
1.7 Levels of setting
The system may be used in a variety of ways to maximise your security. These are:
FULL SET The entire system is armed, and in the event of an intrusion, an alarm
will be sounded, and (if fitted) a police call initiated.
PART
SET
A pre-programmed portion of the system only is set. The system may
provide a reduced level of warning outputs in this mode - eg no police
call.
Two different 'Part' settings are provided (designated 'B' and 'C') to
permit, for example, one setting to be used to set the downstairs at night,
and the other to set upstairs and the garage during the day.
Part Set 'C' is available ONLY if programmed by the installing engineer.
CHIME Provides a simple 'Chime' warning if a programmed zone is triggered
whilst the premises are occupied.
Note that the areas pre-programmed for PART 'B', PART 'C' and CHIME may all be
different, or overlap.
