1.2: Zones

The Penta control panel includes four security zones plus one tamper zone which can be
defined for use with an ON/OFF keyswitch. The four security zones are fully pro­grammable and supervised by end of line resistors. The Penta offers five zone response
types for customized programming to suit a wide range of installations. Each zone can be
programmed to activate a siren/bell when tripped or to generate a silent alarm where only
a message is sent to the central station. The following is a summary of the operational
characteristics for each zone response type:

0° to 50°C

Perimeter Zone

Perimeter zones instantly generate an alarm when opened.
Suggested Use: Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors and windows which
are never used to enter the premises.

Perimeter Zone With Delay

This zone type starts the entry delay when opened, allowing the user time to disarm the
system.
Suggested Use: Magnetic contacts or detectors protecting the doors commonly used to
enter or leave the premises.

Conditional Zone

If a perimeter zone with delay is opened first, conditional zones do not generate an alarm
when opened during the entry delay. If a conditional zone is opened first, an alarm is
generated instantly.
Suggested Use: Detectors protecting the area in which a keypad has been installed or the
area crossed in order to reach the keypad.

-3-

Interior Zone

Interior zones are automatically bypassed when the system is armed using the ‘Stay’
command Q, 9.
Suggested Use: Detectors protecting the interior areas in which the user requires
unrestricted movement when ‘Stay’ arming. For example bedrooms, bathrooms and
interior offices.

24hr Zone

24hr zones always generate an alarm when opened whether the system is armed or
disarmed.
Suggested Use: Panic buttons, glassbreak detectors and areas which require 24 hour
protection.

Fast Loop Perimeter Zone

This zone is a perimeter zone with a 50ms loop response time (compared to 150ms for all
other zone types).
Suggested Use: Shock sensors used to detect attempts to breach the exterior of a
protected area.

1.3: Telephone Communication

The Penta allows for up to two telephone numbers (primary and backup) to be
programmed into the system dedicated to central station communications or for use with
the ‘Follow-me’ format. An additional number can be programmed for use in conjunction
with the RP callback feature. Up to 16 digits can be programmed for each telephone
number. The Penta offers a number of communication options and supports either pulse
or DTMF dialing.

Central Station Communication

The Penta’s on-board dialer uses the following protocols for central station
communication:

• Contact ID

• 20pps 4/2 no parity

• 10pps 3/1 no parity

Follow-me

Using the ‘Follow-me’ feature, the panel informs the user that an event has occurred by
dialing the user’s telephone number and sounding two beeps. After hearing the two
beeps, pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone sounds a number of tones to indicate
exactly which type of alarm has occurred. The number of tones indicates the type of
alarm generated.

1 tone
2 tones
3 tones
4 tones

After the alarm tones have been sounded, pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone either
causes the panel to hang up or, if additional alarms have occurred, sound another set of
alarm tones. Note: Electronics Line recommends using a telephone unit with

Continuous DTMF mode. If only Burst mode is available it may be necessary to
press more than once. If using the Follow-me feature, program the relevant event
codes (addresses 11 – 18) with any value greater than 00.

= Alarm from zone 1
= Alarm from zone 2
= Alarm from zone 3
= Alarm from zone 4

Voice Message (3601)

The 3601 is an add-on module that enables the recording of a short message. In the
event of an alarm, the panel dials the user’s telephone number and this message is
played back. Pressing 3, 6, 9 or # on the telephone acknowledges that the message has
been received.

1.4: Remote Programming

Electronics Line’s remote programming software enables programming and operation
from a PC. The software provides a comprehensive interface to the Penta control panel,
facilitating and cutting down the time taken in programming the system. RP access is
gained using a four digit code programmed at address 57. Without this code all remote
programming and operation is restricted.

Answering Machine Override

Answering machine override enables the control panel to distinguish between regular
incoming calls and a communication attempt by the RP (remote programmer) software.
An RP call is identified by the control panel as a sequence of two calls within a 30-second
time window.

1. The control panel does not answer the first incoming call.

2. The control panel opens a 30-second time window from the moment the telephone
stops ringing.

3. The control panel answers after 1 ring and RP communication is established.

This method enables the panel to share the same telephone line with answering
machines and fax machines.

RP Callback

RP call back is a toll-saver feature that makes remote programming more cost-effective.
When the remote programmer contacts the panel, the panel hangs up and calls the
telephone number programmed at address 56.

3.4: Arming/Disarming

The following section explains the various arming and disarming methods.

Arming

When all zones are secured the system can be armed normally. Arming the system
transmits a message to the central station identifying which user performed the
operation.

To arm the system:

1. Check that all zones are closed; the Ready LED lights up to indicate that the

system is ready to be armed.

2. Enter a valid user code; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.

Forced Arming

Forced arming enables the user to arm the system with open zones. Electronics Line
recommends waiting until all of the zones are secured and the system can be armed
normally. Note: If zones are still not secured after the exit delay has ended, an

alarm will be generated.

To force arm the system:

1. Press Q, 8.

2. Enter a valid user code; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.

Quick Arming

This feature allows the Penta to be armed without a valid user code. Quick arming the
system transmits an “Armed by User 1” message to the central station.

To “Quick” arm the system:

1. Check that all zones are closed; the Ready LED lights up to indicate that the

system is ready to be armed.

2. Press Q, 0; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.

-12-

Stay Arming

This feature only arms perimeter zones – i.e. Perimeter, Perimeter with Delay and Fast
Loop Perimeter zones. This allows the user to stay within the protected area while the
system is armed.

To “Stay” arm the system:

1. Check that all zones are closed apart from the interior zones; the Ready LED lights

up to indicate that the system is ready to be armed.

2. Press Q, 9.

3. Enter a valid user code; the keypad beeps until the end of the exit delay.

Immediate Arming

The system can be operated without an entry/exit delay. Pressing Q during the exit
delay or when the system is armed cancels both the exit and entry delay times.

Note: It is not recommended to use this feature with an external keypad.

Disarming

The Penta can be disarmed by entering a valid user code during the entry delay. If an
error is made entering the code, press ‘#’ and enter the code again. When the code is
accepted the Armed LED and the pulsed delay tone are turned off. If the correct code is
not entered by the end of the delay time, an alarm will be generated.

Keyswitch Arming/Disarming

The system can be armed and disarmed using an ON/OFF keyswitch. The keyswitch
has two operation modes.

1. Latching - closing the keyswitch arms the system, opening disarms the system.

2. Momentary - opening and closing the keyswitch either arms or disarms the system.

3.5: Distress Keys

In the case of an emergency, 3 types of alarms can be generated by pressing and
holding down the desired distress key for more than 2 seconds. These alarms will send
the relevant distress codes to the central station. The distress keys are as follows:

F
E
P

FIRE: Sounds the fire bell, sends the ‘Fire’ event code to the central
station (address 17) and registers in the Emergency/Trouble event log.

EMERGENCY: Sends the ‘Emergency’ event code to the central station
(address 18), sounds the siren (if programmed at address 01) and
registers in the Emergency/Trouble event log.

POLICE: Sends the ‘Police’ event code to the central station (address 16),
sounds the siren (if programmed at address 01) and registers in
the Emergency/Trouble event log.

-13-

3.6: User Codes

The Penta is capable of maintaining four user codes, a duress code and an installer
code. Each of these codes are four digits long. Of the four user codes, only User
Code 1 (default 1111) has authorization to modify other user codes and the duress
code. The installer’s code (default 1234) is the only user code which grants access to
the programming parameters and is programmable at address 59.

To program user codes 1-4:

1. Press Q, 5.

2. Enter User Code 1; the Armed and System LEDs flash and the zone LEDs indicate

the programming status of each user code as follows:

4.3: Programming Parameters

communication is established)

The following section lists the Penta’s programming parameters which are used to
configure the system. For a listing of the default parameters please contact your local
dealer.

Address 00: Communication Attempts

The control panel’s attempts to communicate with the central station are organized in
rounds. A communication round is a set of dialing attempts. If the panel does not
succeed in sending the event message to the primary number within this number of

Telephone numbers
Address 54: Primary Telephone Number

The primary telephone number is the first number that is dialed when an event occurs.
A maximum of 16 digits can be entered at this address. To add a two-second pause,
enter B (Q, 1). To switch from pulse to DTMF dialing enter E (Q, 4). These hexadecimal
digits, B and E, are included in the 16 digit total. Press ENTER after the last digit of the
telephone number has been programmed.

Address 55: Backup Telephone Number

If the panel fails to communicate with the primary number within a communication
round, the backup telephone number is dialed. The backup telephone number is
programmed in the same way as the primary telephone number (address 54).

Address 56: RP Callback Telephone Number

Remote programming communication can be established using two methods,
passcode and callback (see address 02, second digit). If RP callback is selected the
panel receives a call from the remote programmer, hangs up and calls back using the
telephone number programmed at this address. The RP callback telephone number is
programmed in the same way as the primary telephone number (address 54).

Note: To disable a telephone number, enter the appropriate address and press
ENTER. It is not possible to program a backup number unless a primary number
has been programmed.

Address 57: RP Access Code

This 4-digit code grants access to the remote programmer. Note: Do not enter Hex digits.

Address 58: Account Number

When an event code is sent, the central station receives an account number to identify
the customer. Enter a 4-digit account number at this address.

-22-

Address 59: Installer Code

The installer code is a 4-digit code which grants access to programming mode. The
default for this code (1234) should be changed immediately after installing the system.

Note: Do not enter Hex digits.

4.4: Periodic Test Timer Reset

The periodic test event code (address 45) is sent to the central station once every 24
hours. The first transmission of this code is sent 12 hours after power is applied to the
control panel. If a different time is required, the control panel can be programmed to
send the first periodic test message 24 hours after the periodic test timer is reset.

To reset the periodic test timer:

1. Press Q, 7 to enter programming mode.

2. Enter the Installer Code; the Armed LED lights up and the System LED flashes.

3. Enter 99; the periodic test timer is reset and the periodic test code is sent to the

central station.

represent that the product/system may not be compromised or circumvented; or that the product or system will
prevent any personal injury or property loss by burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise; nor that the product or system
will in all cases provide adequate warning or protection. A properly installed and maintained alarm may only reduce
risk of burglary, robbery, fire or otherwise but it is not insurance or a guarantee that these events will not occur.
Therefore, the installer should in turn advise the consumer to take any and all precautions for his or her safety
including, but not limited to, fleeing the premises and calling police or fire department, in order to mitigate the
possibilities of harm and/or damage.

E.L. is not an insurer of either the property or safety of the user's family or employees, and limits its
liability for any loss or damage including incidental or consequential damages to E.L.’s original selling
price of the product regardless of the cause of such loss or damage. If the user wishes to protect itself to a
greater extent, E.L. will, at user's sole cost and expense, obtain an insurance policy to protect the user,
supplemental to user's own policy, at a premium to be determined by E.L.'s insurer upon written notice
from user by Certified Mail, Return Receipt Requested, to E.L.'s home office address, and upon payment of
the annual premium cost by user.

Some states do not allow limitations on how long an implied warranty lasts or do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages, or differentiate in their treatment of limitations of liability for
ordinary or gross negligence, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to you. This Warranty gives you
specific legal rights and you may also have other rights that vary from state to state.
