Introduction

The Abacus range of intruder alarm panels are manufactured by Detection Systems, using advanced microprocessor technology, this allowing greater flexibility and ease of use. Whilst great care is taken in its design, manufacturing and testing to provide you with many years of trouble free service. The function of the Abacus panel is purely a detection warning system, and cannot guarantee you absolute protection against burglary.

The Abacus panel can give a warning against Fire, but is not designed to comply with insurance or Fire regulations. It should not be used in installations where a fire alarm system complying with those regulations should be used.

This manual has been written to be as comprehensive as possible with brief explanations where considered necessary. Detection Systems cannot be held responsible for system design or suitability of the Abacus panel for a given installation. Any problems should they occur should be taken up with the installation company.

Italics are used, in the text, to denote/indicate special differences between the Abacus panels and in the index, to indicate main drawings, charts or lists.

When using an LED keypad for Abacus 6P (or some older Abacus panels) refer to the LED Operator instructions guide (Part No. Y6055).

Chapter 1 – System Description

General

The Abacus range of alarm systems consist of the following control panels:

Abacus 6R (metal panel) and Abacus 6P (polycarbonate with built in LED keypad). Abacus 6/14 and Abacus 6/14 COM (metal panels).

Abacus 8R, (metal panel) Abacus 8P (Polycarbonate with built in LCD keypad) (Upgraded to 15P at Version 5015 software) and Abacus 8ABI (metal panel with built in LCD keypad).

Abacus 8/15P (Polycarbonate with built in LCD keypad), Abacus 8/80 (metal panel). Abacus 15R, (metal panel). Abacus 72R (metal panel).

All Abacus panels work in a similar way to each other, where they differ; the difference will be indicated in Italics. Indication will also be given when new features were introduced.

Intruder alarm systems are individually designed for the premises; the system consists of a number of component parts, some of which are manufactured by Detection Systems. This manual will describe the Abacus panel operation in detail, but other components generally.

The main electronics that controls your alarm system is housed in the control panel. The Abacus 6P,

8P(15P), 8/15P and 8ABI control panels also contain an onboard Keypad. Abacus 6R, 6/14, 6/14COM, 8R, 8/80, 15R and 72R control panels require a remote keypad. All abacus panels can be

fitted with up to six (seven for Abacus 6R, 6/14, 6/14COM, 8R, 8/80, 15R and 72R) remote keypads.

The on board or remote keypads are the interfaces between you and your alarm system. You are able to instruct the system on your requirements by pushing one or more of the twelve control keys. (1 to 9, 0/ESC, NO or YES/PART keys). The control panel will inform you of its status, by producing different sounds, on the sounder, and giving text on the 32 digit LCD display (Abacus 6P only Coded two digits on a LED display, see LED operators Guide). The two !! Keys on the remote keypads are used as special function, i.e. as PA, Fire etc. Your installation engineer should inform you which function is available on your system.

Your alarm system will have been divided into zones; each zone may be split into two circuits. The circuits will have been programmed for a specific function. Your installation engineer should inform you of the zone configuration of your system.

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 8

Version 7000 software was introduced with many new features (see below) and new design of PCB’s to enable use of the keypad bus for expansion, by using I/O modules and communication of signals using the new ADV1 additional features. As the Abacus 8/15P can only be fitted with a 3.2A battery additional power required and size of panel limited the introduction of Version 7000 features. (I/O Modules not fitted or Point ID is not available on Abacus 8/15P).

New On/Off user code introduced.

Separate Exit times for areas.

Improved part setting of areas.

Increased display time on pressing YES/PART key after alarm and code on coded reset.

Improved Factory Default Settings.

On alarm display reads as appropriate either Phone Engineer or Phone ARC (Alarm

Receiving Centre).

Engineer can also reset panel on coded reset.

Improved Upload/Download programming functions.

Upload/Download log can now be programmed for pre-set number of events before

downloading.

Mode 1 operation, no longer available.

SIA protocol introduced on Abacus 8/80.

Power Supply

Caution. Should you become aware that power is to be removed for a prolonged period, then

contact your installation engineer.

All Abacus panel are supplied with power from the mains, which should not be switched off. Within the panel is an emergency battery that is on float charge. Should the mains power be lost the battery will support the system for at least eight hours. If mains remain off for over eight hours, the system could go into an alarm condition, and you will be unable to silence the outside bell. The battery could also be damaged by going into deep discharge and require replacement. (Abacus 72 and Abacus 8/80

have a battery cut of relay to prevent deep discharge).

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 9

Zone Circuit Types

Final Exit (FX)

At least one of the zones circuits on your alarm system will have been programmed as a final exit (FX). A FX detector is the last detector, on the exit route from the keypad that is operated on leaving the alarmed premises. It is also the first detector to be activated on entry to the alarmed premises.

If the FX circuit is closed by locking the access door, it may be used to terminate the exit routine and finally set the system (Shunt lock). This may be the way that your system has been designed to comply with ‘Association of Chief Police Officer’ (ACPO) intruder alarm policy.

The prime purpose of the FX circuit is that, when the installation is set, on activation of the FX detector the entry routine is started. This starts the entry warning sounder, and allows time to reach the keypad. The user can then unset the system without generating an alarm. If this time is exceeded, a full alarm is generated. If a communicator is fitted, the panel signals an intruder alarm to your central station.

Note. Your system may be programmed that on setting, if the FX detector is not seen to close then

the system will only part set. This means that to do a full set you must leave the protected location.

Exit

Zones circuits located on the exit/entry route are described as exit route detectors, these detectors, during both entry and exit, are disabled for the programmed time of the exit/entry periods. Only when the installation is set, will they generate a ‘full’ alarm.

Night

Detector circuits configured as night (NITE), when activated, will generate a ‘full’ alarm when the panel is set or in the entry mode. The detector, when active in the exit mode will generate a ‘bad set’ fault condition. The detector will be i nactive in the unset mode.

EX/FX

Detector circuits configured as Exit/ Final Exit (EX/FX) will work as an Exit detector when full set, or as a FX detector in Part Set.

A detector circuit programmed as a Personnel Attack (PA), when activated, regardless of panel setting will initiate one of the following:

1. Ring bells, sounders and activate strobe, will also signal, if communicator fitted, to a central station.

2. Ring bells, sounders and activate strobe.

3. Silent, communicator signals to a central station only.

4. Fault audible. Normally silent, communicator signals to a central station but on a line fault condition the PA activation will ring bells, sounders and trigger the strobe.

Your installation engineer should inform you of, or enabl e the PA mode you require.

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 10

Fire

This parameter is programmed to a zone circuits that has fire detectors connected. When activated, (regardless of panel setting states), it will instantly generate a fire warning, by pulse switching the bells and sounders. If a communicator is fitted, it will signal to central station a fire signal.

Part

Part is a secondary programming to zones circuit programmed as Exit or Nite, in the Set mode they work as described above. When the panel is Part Set any Exit or Nite circuit also programmed as Part will be omitted.

24 Hour

This zone circuit type is programmed to a circuit that requires to generate a full alarm, (signal an intruder alarm and ring bells etc) when the panel is set, and generate local alarm when panel is unset, (internal sounders only). A typical use for this type of circuit is a fire escape door.

Exit and Entry Times

These times are set up by your installation engineer to give you time to safely operate your Abacus alarm system.

Exit Time

Note. On communicating systems, the policy of some police forces is that exit timers are not

permitted, and the exit time is terminated by a setting push or shunt lock. Should your system be installed in one of these area’s, your installation engineer will advis e on your method of final setting.

The exit time (1 to 99 seconds or continuous until setting signal is received) is set to give you time to leave your premises. On entering the users code (factory Default is 1234), the exit timer is started, and a warning sound is given to tell you to leave the protected location. The warning sounder is terminated when the protected location is set. You are strongly advised to wait outside the protected location for the sounder to stop, as conformation that the system is set.

Part Set Exit Time

The part set exit time is set for either (your installation engineer will have selected which):

1. Silent, on selecting part a timer is started (no setting warning produced) a short sounder

tone is given at the end of the exit to confirm Part Set.

2. Audible, on selecting Part the timer is started and a setting warning sounder operated, at the

end of the time programmed the sounder stops to confirm Part Set.

3. Either a pre-set time of 30 Seconds, or time as normal exit or exit terminator setting will

have been programmed to work with above silent or audible. Part Set options.

Note. When setting, if the panel is unable to set it will produce a ‘Bad Set‘ tone and give the

appropriate indication.

Entry Time

The entry time (1 to 99 seconds) is set to give you time to enter the protected premises, and unset the Abacus system, without generating a false alarm. On activating the FX detector (or EX/FX in part set) the warning timer is started and is terminated by entering the user code. If the user code is not entered in the given time or you stray off the access route then an intruder alarm is generated.

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 11

Alarm Times

Bell Ring Time

In case of an Alarm (All Types), your Bell and internal sounders will sound for this time (1 to 99 minutes or continuous).

Note. Local Authority Noise and Pollution Act 1974. Noise ---- limited to a maximum of 20

minutes.

Bell Delay Time

This is the time in the range of 1 to 99 minutes or no delay after, an intruder alarm has been signalled, before local indication is given by activating Bells Sounders etc. Your local police may state a requirement for this setting.

Sounder Tones

The Abacus panel will generate different frequency; duration and volume of tones to indicate various warnings to you as you operate the system.

Keypad Tone

Each time a key is pressed, a confirmation keypad tone is produced. – A short bleep at low volume.

Confirmation Tone

A 1 second bleep is given as a confirmation tone at normal (as exit tone setting) or low volume (i.e. panel silent Part Set confirmation – version 7000 software).

Chime Tone

A tone of pulses is produced for 2 seconds when an Exit Terminator (doorbell) is pressed, or a zone that you have programmed to chime, is activated when unset. At a volume set by the installation engineer.

Exit Tone

When the exit timer is running a continuous warning tone is produced. If an exit zone detector is activated the tone is pulsed until detector is clear. The volume is as set by the installation engineer.

Part Setting Tone

When the entry timer is started, a slow pulsed warning tone is produced. The volume is as set by the installation engineer.

Entry Tone

When the entry timer is started, a fast pulsed warning tone is produced. The volume is as set by the installation engineer.

Note. The engineer sets the volume for Chime, and Exit and Entry tones.

Alarm (Tamper or Bad Set) Tone

When an alarm tone is required, the Abacus panel generates, at full volume, a warbling tone, until either, a valid code is entered, or bell ring time expires.

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 12

Fire Alarm

Same signal as alarm, but pulsed switched ON for 1 second and OFF for 1 second.

System Detectors

An intruder alarm system is built up of a number of detectors (Many manufactured by other companies) wired into the Abacus control panel zones; these detectors are selected for the type of detection required and the environment of the location. Listed below is a number of the more common type of detectors used.

Door Contacts

A set of magnetic contacts (switches) installed on a door (or window) which will signal to the Abacus panel when the door (or window) is opened.

Movement Detectors

A security device normally mounted at head height to detect the movement of a person within a given location (i.e. the lo unge). These detectors use one or more technologies such as passive infra red, microwave or ultrasonic principles.

Vibration Detectors

A small sensitive security detector fitted to a door/window frames etc., to detect vibration caused by forced entry.

Personnel Attack

A push button type switch, strategically positioned within the premises, when operated regardless of whether the panel is set or unset will signal a personnel attack alarm (PA) to the central station if a communicator is fitted. The PA alarm may be silent alarm or a full alarm (bells and sounders) as programmed by your installation engineer.

Fire Detectors

A fire detector is a device that will operate on detection a fire (i.e. smoke or heat detector). These devices, when activated, will cause the Abacus panel to give distinct fire alarm signal. This signal is generated by the panel continually pulsing all sounders and bells (1 second on and 1 second off).

Caution. The Abacus control panel has not been designed to comply with the fire industrial

standards and should not be used when an approved fire panel is recommended or required. Detection System cannot be held responsible for any failure to comply with any fire industry requirements, or relevant standards or regulations.

Auxiliary Detectors

The Abacus panel can accept signals to give a warning from other forms of detectors such as a freezer temperature alarm, flood alert alarm or gas alarm (i.e. Carbon Monoxide), when triggered the system will give an internal alarm only, and remote signalling, if programmed and communicator fitted.

Warning Devices

The most important function of any alarm system, is to quickly inform that an event has occurred, this is done in a number of ways.

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 13

Sounders

Sounders are used as internal warning devices, to indicate a range of events that have, or are taking place. (See sounder tones earlier in this chapter).

Bells

This is an external warning device, (this could also include a siren), to inform the neighbourhood that an event has occurred and help may be required. (See also Alarm times earlier in this chapter).

Strobes

Strobes (flashing lights) are used to give a visual indication for quick identification of the location of an alarm, very useful in shopping centres etc..

Communicators

A device used to communicate between the alarmed premises and a remote location such as a central station. Communicator can take the form of digital communicators, which dial to the central station and pass the relevant alarm information. Red Care systems that are continually monitored and change the signal conditions to signal alarm states to the central station. VODASSURE an AB-NET communicator signalling the alarm conditions over the PAKNET radio data network to a central station. The central stations are manned 24 hours a day 365 days a year, on receipt of an alarm, evaluate the messages received and call out the appropriate services. (I.e. The keyholder, Police or Fire Services).

System Configuration

The system is built up of a number of zones, these zones may have been split into two circuits to aid recognition and fault finding. The zones/circuits may then be arranged to work in specific areas such as in a factory, to enable the office, workshops and stores to be controlled separately.

Area 1, 2 and 3

The Abacus panels can operate with up to 3 areas plus a common and cleaner area (See System Features for your panel). This allows the system to have individual areas set from specific area codes. If the installation engineer have set the panel to mode 2 (version 5000 or later), then the main or master codes can set/unset a specific area. Whenever areas are used, an individual code must be available for each area.

Common Area

A zone programmed as common, is common to all areas, therefore is set when the last area is set, and is unset when the first area is unset (i.e. The common area is unset when any one or more areas are unset).

Cleaner Area

In some locations, an individual may require to unset zones in several areas. (I.e. a Cleaner or Security Guard is required to unset all the corridors but not the offices). This function can be undertaken by a cleaner code, when entered in the unset mode only displays ‘Cleaner on Site’ but when set, Unsets all zones programmed as cleaner, on re-enter of cleaner code, Sets all zones programmed as cleaner. Other codes can override this function (i.e. An area code when used to set an area, is requested ‘Cleaner on site ok?’ – if replied NO then panel sets all zones in that area, if replied YES then panel sets those zones not programmed as cleaner in that area). (See System Features).

Part Set

Zones in each area can be programmed as part, which on part setting the area or installation will be omitted. An example of this is the bedrooms, at night you can part set the installation and go to the bedroom without the bedroom detector causing an alarm.

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 14

Codes

There is a variation of user codes available each with a greater or lesser access and control over the installation. (See System Features for number of codes and digits available).

Master Code

The master code can operate and program all the user function available on the Abacus panel as listed below:

Program and remove all user codes. Program the date and time, and chime function. Allowing the engineer or remote modem access to engineer functions. Read the log events.

Test the System (Except for active zones). Can Set, Part Set and Unset all areas. Can isolate or omit areas and certain zones.

Main Code

The main user code has the same function as the master code, except that it is unable to program or remove codes, or change the engineer lock/ unlock function.

On version 5000 software or later, the master code user can limit the area access available to the main user code holder.

On Off Code

The On Off code, introduced at version 7000 softwarw, Sets, Part-Sets and Unsets all areas. It cannot omit any zones or change any program functions.

Area 1, 2 or 3 Codes

An area code holder is only able to Set, Partset or Unset that specific area. (i.e. Area 2 code sets/unsets Area 2) The area code cannot omit zones or control other function on the system.

Cleaner Code

See system features for availability on your installation.

A code programmed as cleaner is used to unset specific zones in several areas (I.e. a Cleaner or Security Guard is required to unset all the corridors but not the offices). When entered in the unset mode only displays ‘Cleaner on Site’ but when set, unsets and Sets all zones programmed as cleaner. Other codes can override this function (i.e. An area code when used to set an area is requested ‘Cleaner on site ok?’ – if replied NO then panel sets all zones in that area, if replied YES then panel set those zones not programmed as cleaner in that area).

Duress Code

This is a specia l code that will set, part set or unset all areas. BUT first it signals a duress signal to central station (a silent personal attack to alert the alarm monitoring service that the system is being Set/Unset under duress).

On version 5000 software, the master code user can limit the area access available to the Duress user code. On version 7000 software duress code is again for all areas.

Detection Systems Abacus User Guide

Chapter 4. 15

Holder Code

This is a special code introduced at version 5000 software for issue to security guards etc.

When the panel is Unset the holder code works the same as a main code. It enables the user to investigate the log, omit zones and set the installation. Once the installation is set the holder code cannot normally unset it, Should an alarm be generated, then four minutes after the alarm signal has been sent the holder code can be used to unset the installation. This enables the holder code user (security guard) with the police to investigate the cause of an alarm.

Engineer Code

The engineer’s code enables the engineer to change the panel parameters (i.e. how each zone functions and is displayed). This code can be used to set and unset the installation, to enable the engineer to perform tests without the need to know the user codes. However, the user can prevent the engineer from changing program function, without first unlocking the system. (See ‘Engineer Lockout’ in chapter 3).

Note. Although the engineer code can set and unset an installation it cannot unset an installation

that has been set by a user code. If an installation has been set by an engineer code any user

code can be used to unset as appropriate.

Only the engineer code can change the engineer code, the engineer code cannot change any of

the user codes. The master code is the only code that can change user codes .

Keyswitch control

A keyswitch may be wired to an Abacus control panel, to enable the user to set, unset or part set the installation or a specific area. When a keyswitch is fitted and used on an area, then an area code for each area must also be programmed. User codes override the keyswitch function therefore the keyswitch may require to be re-aligned to the Abacus state before it will re-function.

Exit Terminator

A push button may have been fitted to your system to finally terminate the setting exit routine, when setting you push this button and check that the exit sound stops before leaving the installation. An exit terminate button also doubles as a Doorbell.

The NO key on keypad number 5 may be used as the exit terminate in par t set. (Version 5000 or later).

Chapter 3 – Programming

General

The installation engineer carries out most of the programming of your Abacus installation. It would be nice to leave it all to the engineer, but for day to day operation, and for system security, a small amount of programming has to be left to the user.

User programming is carried out by the master, or main (not code programming) user codes only.

Programming of the Abacus system is user friendly, once you have entered either the main or master code, the display gives you options, if the display is not what you require press the NO key, if display is as required either press the YES/PART key or the number indicated. A pointer ( > ) may appear from time to time, on pressing the NO key, to indicate a value to be changed, either key in value required or press the NO key to scroll options available.

To program characters (i.e. User names) for identification, each number key will give three letters and their respective number, (0/ESC key is used for a range of symbols, shown in chart as 0) as shown on the remote keypad when flap is removed, or see keystroke character chart below. For version 7000

software, a library has been introduced to speed up engineer programming, because of this numbers have been moved to the O/ESC key. (See second Chart below). Abacus 8/15P uses old chart no library.

Press the 4 key to return to the day mode and check that the new number(s)

works and any old number(s) is/are deleted, or press the number displayed,

for function required.

Notes. Codes can only be programmed/deleted by the master code.

One master code (code 1) is the minimum number of user codes for the system. Code 1 is factory default as 1234; it should be changed from this number to one that only you know, as soon as possible for the security of the installation. It is advised not to use consecutive or numbers like 1066 that can be easily compromised.

When area’s are used, a minimum of one master code and one code for each area used must be programmed for correct operation of the installation.

When programming codes it is recommended that names, or idents, are prgrammed for each code, for identification of which code user operated the system.

New numbers only become active on return to the day mode.

If a number has already been programmed as a code and you attempt to program the same number again, code conflict will be detected (erro tone sounded and code displayed removed) and prevent that number being used, retype in a different number or press the YES/PART key to carry on programming.

Delete a User Code

ONLY A MASTER CODE CAN DELETE A USER CODES.

Should you attempt to delete code 1, it will revert to the factory default of 1234.

Lock and Unlock Engineer Programming or Engineer Access via Modem

From the day mode, the engineer can with his/her code operate the system and change all the programming functions on your installation, providing that you have left the user programming as engineer Unlocked. If you program as engineer Locked, the engineer is limited to operating and testing only, and requires the user’s master or main code to change any engineer programming functions. This enables you to be aware of any changes to your installation performance.

If your installation as been set for Association of British Insurer (ABI) mode for modem communication (Upload/Download) the installation engineer requires you to place the installation at the Engineer mode as shown below.

Chapter 4 – System Testing and Fault Indication

General

The Abacus panels contain no user serviceable parts. Removing of the covers will bring up a tamper or alarm condition and will expose you to the risk of contact with lethal voltages.

System testing should be carried out regularly, to quickly identify any problems that may have developed, so that they can be rectified.

Most user checks should be completed as habit as you set and unset your system.

Each day as you unset the system, read the display and investi gate any messages displayed.

Internal Sounder Checks

Each day, as you set and unset your Abacus alarm panel, check that your exit/entry tones can be heard. Also, regularly, check that the chime tone is generated from the exit terminator push, and any zo ne programmed as chime.

Zone Tests

Caution. On systems with remote communicators, PA and Fire zones should NOT be tested by

the user as they are always active and will ring the Bells etc. and signal to central station. On other installations will ring the bells etc. Testing of the PA and Fire zones should not be tested by the user and therefore left to the alarm engineer.

On a regular basis, it is recommended to activate each detector in turn, to ensure that the detector is working correctly as follows:

From the day mode, enter the Main or Master code.

At this display, press the NO key. (XXXXXX = Code holders name if

programmed).

On Version 7000 software, this display appears to allow you to return to the
