Introduction

This manual is designed to help you with the installation process for the Penta control
panel. We strongly urge you to read through this manual, in its entirety, before beginning
the installation process so that you can best understand all that this security system has
to offer your customers. This manual is not intended for end user use. End users are
encouraged to read the user manual provided with the system. If you have any questions
concerning any of the procedures described in this manual please contact Electronics
Line at ([phone] (International) or 1-800-683-6835 (USA).

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.

Electronics Line (E.L.) recommends testing

AUXILIARY POWER OUTPUT:

AC Operated: 13.5 - 14.0V

the system at least once a week. Refer to the

testing procedure found in the user manual.

Battery Operated: 12V Nominal

AUX OUTPUT CURRENT DRAW:

The auxiliary output current allowed for

peripheral units must not exceed 300mA

when one keypad is installed. For each

additional keypad (up to 3 max.) the

permitted current draw is reduced by 50mA.

2.5: Turning on the System

Once all of the systems components are properly connected to their destination
terminals, the Penta is ready to be turned on. To avoid the risk of electrical shock or
damage to the control panel, make sure that both the AC supply and the battery are
connected properly before plugging in the system. If you experience any difficulties in
applying power to the unit, please contact Electronics Line’s Technical Support
Department. The Penta control panel is supplied with a default program that includes
typical programming data which means that minimum programming is required for
typical installations.

To turn on the system:

1. Install the JPD jumper located at the top of the control panel board.

2. Reapply power and wait for 10 seconds; the keypad beeps to indicate the end of the
10 second period.

3. Disconnect both the AC and battery power supply.

4. Remove the JPD jumper.

5. Reapply power and wait for 10 seconds; the keypad beeps to indicate that the
default program has been restored.

The default settings can be reset at any time by disconnnecting the power supply and
repeating the above procedure.
