Security Alarm Control Panel

HESTIA-915

installation manual

Description:

The Hestia-915 is the next generation in versatile wire operated alarm systems. The control panel provides eight
protection zones: FIRE, TAMPER and six programmable loops. All loops are balanced with End Of Line resistors. Most
control panel functions are programmable, resulting is a very flexible system. Control panel is offered in different housing
options (H-915C - plastic housing with built in keypad & display, H-915M - metal housing, H-915P - plastic housing
without keypad & display, H-915B - only main board, H-915K - external keypad).

An assortment of optional devices can be connected to the control panel (detectors, external keypads, remote controls,
telephone dialers, etc.). Refer to your Jablotron catalog for more details, or contact your local Jablotron dealer. Please
note that Jablotron strongly recommends professional installation of this system.

FRONT PANEL

(The following description is for the control panel of the H-915C as well as for the front panel of the external keypad
model H-915K)

Display:
1 POWER - (Green LED) continuously lit indicates that the power supply is properly functioning . A blinking led means

that the system is powered only by the back up battery. If this LED is off, the system has no A.C. power and the back-up
battery is discharged.

2 ARM - (Yellow, Green and Red LEDs) if this LED is off, the system is disarmed. If it is yellow and slowly blinking, it
indicates an Exit delay. A continuously lit yellow LED indicates that the system is fully armed. A Rapidly blinking yellow
LED indicates an Entrance delay.
A Slow blinking green LED indicates an Exit delay for the AT HOME arming (only if AUTO AT HOME function enabled). A
continues green light indicates that system is AT HOME armed. A rapidly blinking green LED indicates an Entrance delay
for AT HOME arming.
A red blinking means an alarm condition on the control panel (PANIC alarm is not indicated).

3 ERROR - (Red LED) continuously lit indicates system is in the programming mode. Slow blinking indicates either
a power supply failure or memory of a Technical alarm. Rapidly blinking confirms programming of bypass.

4,5,6 ZONE STATUS LEDs: FIRE, TAMPER, 1 to 6: When on in the normal operating mode, a lit LED indicates
a triggered input. Slow blinking zone LED means alarm memory information. It can be reset by rearming or entering
[∗][3].
Rapidly blinking zone LED during exit delay indicates if a zone has been bypassed.

7 Keypad: All control panel functions can be controlled by or programmed with the keypad. Pressing the [#] key
erases the input buffer (stops the programming) and acts as an ESC function. The input buffer can also be erased if an
incorrect or incomplete entry is made (after 20 seconds).

WIRING

Zone inputs:
TAMP, FIRE, L1 to L6 and COMM terminals All zone inputs are supervised End Of Line (EOL) resistor circuits. Each

input must be terminated with a 10K ohm EOL resistor to any of the COMM terminals. An input will be triggered if a
normally open contact is used to short across the EOL resistor. An input is also triggered if normally closed contacts
wired in series with EOL resistor are opened (see the wiring diagram).
The Fire alarm is activated if a detector connected to a FIRE input is triggered. The Tamper alarm can be triggered
either by the built in tamper switch (control panel & keypads) or by the tamper switches connected to the TAMP input.
The definition of zone 1 to 6 (delay, instant, 24hr., fire etc.) can be programmed from the keypad using the [∗] [6]
installer programming mode.

NOTE: None of the COMM terminals can be connected to the GND or any other control panel terminal. Such
a connection will trigger all zone inputs.

Outputs:
E.SIR terminal is for connection of the external siren (use pi ezo siren SA-105 or SA-107). The function of this output is

programmable for different alarm types (using the [∗] [6] installer programming mode). This output is switched to GND
with a NPN switching transistor when activated. Maximum load can be 500mA.

+SIR terminal is the backup +12V power output for sirens (external and internal), max. 1A (built in fuse FU4).

The following four output terminals are closed to the GND with a NPN switching transistor when activated. Maximum
load of each output is 200mA. A 10 ohm current limiting resistor is connected in series with the switching transistor.
A small relay, buzzer, siren or other DC operated device may be connected between the +12V terminal and each of the
above output terminals.

I.SIR terminal is the output for the internal siren (use piezo siren SA-105 or SA-107). The function of this output is
programmable for different alarm types (using the [∗] [6] installer programming mode). Model H-915C has built in internal
sirens connected via a connector.

FIRE output is active for alarm period if alarm is triggered by a fire input(s).
ARM output is active while the control panel is armed (no matter if in FULL arming or AT HOME arming position).
PANIC output is active for alarm period if the PANIC or any silent alarm loop is triggered.

+BS - this terminal is for connection with an outdoor back up siren. There is a positive potential supplied by this terminal
when the alarm output relay is not switched on.

C, NC and NO terminals are over switching dry contacts for alarm output relay. The maximum load is 1A/60V. The
function of this relay is programmable for different alarm types (using the [∗] [6] installer programming mode).

Power:
+12V, GND - back up voltage output for optional devices (motion detectors, telephone dialers etc.). There are two pairs

of these terminals on the board, both of them are connected together. Maximum current consumption can be 500mA all
together. The +12V output is protected by a FU2 (1.6A) fuse.

15VAC - these terminals are for A.C. power supply connection. Use a transformer with 15VAC output (min. 20VA), or you
can use the Jablotron PSU-10 adapter. This input is protected by a FU1 (1.6A) fuse. Do not switch the power on before
the installation is finished!

ACCU. - these terminals (+/-) are ready to connect to a back-up battery 12V. Size from 1.2Ah to 40Ah can be used. In
normal operating mode the control panel charges the battery. Battery input is protected by a FU3 (3.15A) fuse. Do not
connect the battery before the installation is finished!

Keypad: There are three EXT.KEYBOARD terminals to connect to external keypads model H-915K (or other optional
H-915 device with serial communication). Use three wires to connect the A,B and C control panel terminals with
corresponding A,B and C terminals in the keypad. The maximum length of keypad cable should not exceed 50 meters. If
you use multiple keypads (a maximum of 5 can be used) connect all of them in parallel. Check carefully that you have
connected corresponding wires before you turn on the power to the control panel. (The built-in keypad on the H-915C
model is connected via INT.KEY connector.)

Control panel TAMPER: There is a tamper switch to protect the housing of the control panel. If you have only the
H-915B (main board) don't forget to install the attached tamper switch in the housing.

Procedure for Turning on the Power:

Make a short connection of the RESET link on the board with a jumper. Connect the back up battery and A.C. power
supply. Wait 2 seconds and remove the reset jumper. Close the housing of the control panel (connect front panel - only
model H-915C).
The control panel will reset to the factory default settings automatically and then will perform a self test. When finished, it
will be in the installer programming mode. (Press [#] to enter standby).

Operation

There are three levels of operation in the H-915: STANDBY, USER PROGRAMMING and INSTALLER
PROGRAMMING.
The STANDBY mode is the basic working mode of the control panel. It is ready for arming control. The system can be
directed to perform other functions such as zone bypassing, displaying alarm memory and entering programming level by
using one of the various [∗] commands described below. In STANDBY mode, the zone lights indicate the triggering of
zones, or alarm memory with a slow blinking..

MASTER CODE

A default master code 1234 is programmed into the H-915 at the factory. The master code is used for arming control as
other access codes, but only the master code can be used for entering the user programming level ([∗] [5] command) and
for bypassing zones ([∗] [8] command).
The master code can be reprogrammed by the user, but it can not be removed.
