TECHNICAL GLOSSARY

NOTES TO THE MANUAL

• This manual describes how to set up a complete and optimal alarm system, using all devices belonging to the Mhouse alarm system. Some devices and accessories speciﬁed in the manual are optional and may not be present in the kit. For a complete overview of the devices, request the information from your local retailer.

• This manual is intended as a step-by-step guide

. Therefore, to facilitate work and avoid any

errors, it is important to perform all speciﬁed operations in the same order as described.

The control unit manages different types of alarm, depending on different situations. The alarms are:

“Deterrent” alarm This type of alarm is intentionally activated by the user to deter an attempt at intrusion, activating the sirens

and sending the calls (and text messages) to the set numbers.

“Emergency” alarm This type of alarm is intentionally activated by the user to request emergency assistance by phone. This

sends the calls (and text messages) to the set numbers.

“Technical” alarm This type of alarm is activated automatically by the control unit if smoke, flooding or other similar events are

detected.

False alarm False alarm, caused by defect and/or fault of one or more appliances.

“General” alarm This alarm is activated by a detector following an intrusion. This activates the sirens and sends the calls and

text messages to the set numbers.

Improper alarm Alarm caused by incorrect installation, technical restraint of appliances or external cause.

“Tamper” alarm This alarm is generated by an attempt at tampering with a system device (opening of the control unit,

removal of a detector etc.).

Anti-duress Function that enables the user to deactivate the alarm and at the same time activate the calls envisaged for

an "emergency" event. This is obtained by a specific deactivation code.

Detector deactivation If necessary (detector faulty) the device can be deactivated temporarily.

Pre-alarm (control unit status) Alarm that precedes a “General alarm”, caused by detectors for which an alarm signal delay is programmed.

Pre-alarm (siren status) External siren status before actual alarm activation (emission of beeps repeated for approx. 10 seconds).

Alarm delay Interval between transmission of detector and alarm status: programmable for each detector.

Supervised system The control unit monitors the associated radio devices to ensure all are running correctly.

Touchscreen Radio device for programming/control with touchscreen technology.

Dual frequency transmission Radio transmission simultaneously on two separate frequencies. Enhances security in radio communication.

Bidirectional transmission The device that transmits a radio message receives confirmation of reception from the other device.

Zone (A, B, C) Grouping of detectors, which can be activated and deactivated together (e.g. a zone may be represented by

all detectors in the sleeping area or by all magnetic contacts of the windows). Each detector can be programmed to belong to one zone only.

2 - PRODUCT DESCRIPTION AND INTENDED USE

transmission on 2 separate radio frequencies: 433 MHz and 868 MHz. Furthermore, communication between the main elements is bidirectional; for some devices transmission requires reception of a confirmation signal (e.g. activation of the system via remote control is confirmed by a red led on the remote control itself). The touchscreen can also be used for radio control of all Mhouse automations.

The products in this kit are part of the Mhouse alarm system designed for the protection of residential spaces. Any use other than as described in

this manual is strictly prohibited!

The Mhouse alarm system is not to be considered simply a home burglar alarm, as it is able to detect a variety of events thanks to special sensors: intrusion, break-in attempts (impact-vibration sensor), fire risks (smoke detector) and water leaks (flooding sensor). The different alarm situations can be indicated locally with audible signals (indoor or outdoor sirens), with voice messages or remotely via telephone calls or text messages. The system offers optimal flexibility and simplicity of installation; it is powered exclusively by batteries and does not require any electrical connection. The various devices interact by radio wave communication. Maximum reliability of communication between the devices is achieved by

Touchscreen

The touchscreen is the radio interface that enables programming of the entire alarm system and management of the intrusion protection system. It implements an icon menu and integrated voice menu to ensure simple and intuitive use. It is equipped with a transponder badge reader to enable rapid activation and deactivation of the alarm system. It can also be used to control Mhouse automations such as a gate, shutter, awning etc. As well as the controls on display, a further 4 buttons are available for direct and immediate control of the automations. There is also a voice recorder to enable recording and listening of voice messages. The device is battery powered and automatically turns off after a brief period of inactivity. A special charger base, desktop or wall-mounted (MATSC1, optional) enables the display to remain on at all times.

The models and accessories available are:

MATS1 Touchscreen with wall-mounted support

MATSC1 Desktop support for touchscreen, with rechargeable batteries and power supply unit

Detectors

The detectors are used to control the environment where they are installed; they control the change in area status, detecting events in the environment and instantly transmitting the relative event to the control unit. For efficient control of the area, they must be positioned at strategic points of the room, doors, windows, shutters, porches etc. The types of detectors are classified as follows:

- perimeter, for opening of doors, windows, shutters;

- perimeter, using “vertical curtain” technology;

- volumetric, for the detection of human presence inside the area covered by the detector;

- special, for the detection of flooding, smoke, glass breakage etc.

The models available are:

MAD1 Door and window opening detector

MAD2 Infra-red detector with volumetric lens

MAD3 Infra-red detector with vertical curtain lens

MAD4 Volumetric detector of glass breakage

MAD5 Smoke detector

MAD6 Flooding detector

MAD1 MAD2 MAD3 MAD4 MAD5 MAD6

MATS1

Control unit

The control unit is the decision making core of the system and communicates with all associated devices. The control unit is programmed and managed by means of one or more keypads with a touchscreen interface (mod. MATS1). The control unit can also be controlled by means of portable remote controls and radio control keypads. It receives alarm signals from different types of detectors and sends notification signals, inside and outside the environments, with acoustic devices and deterrent voice messages emitted by the sirens. Thanks to the integrated telephone system, the control unit can notify users of the alarms and system technical events by sending calls to the telephone numbers set in the phone book. The model MACU1 is also able to send text messages. Lastly, the remote management function enables the user to manage the control unit by telephone.

The models available are:

MACU1 Control unit for alarm systems • via radio • battery powered • with PSTN and GSM telephone dialler MACU2 Control unit for alarm systems • via radio • battery powered • with PSTN telephone dialler

2.1 - Understanding the devices that make up the system

Open the packaging and lay out all the components in the pack on a table. Before proceeding, read the following sections to understand the role and main features of each device in the system. These devices represent the complete range of articles needed to set up an optimal alarm

system. Some devices specified in the manual are optional and may not be present in the kit.

MACU1 MACU2

3 - LAYOUT OF DEVICES IN THE ENVIRONMENT

a) against the movement of persons or other (MAD2); b) against glass breakage (MAD4); c) against the presence of smoke (technical sensor MAD5); d) against flooding (technical sensor MAD6).

Avoid the installation of volumetric detectors near to possible turbulence of hot or cold air (fireplace, radiators etc.) and where animals (hot blooded) are present; if necessary, during installation, reduce sensitivity of the sensor or position it with the directional joint supplied.

03. Mark the position of all fixed devices used to control the alarm system inside

the environment:

a) touchscreen (MATS1); b) keypad (MADS1).

The touchscreen can be fixed to the wall, in which case an easily accessible location should be chosen (e.g. near the main door). As well as the touchscreen, additional radio keypads can be used for daily management of the system (for example to activate and deactivate the alarm, when accessing via secondary entrances). The keypads can be wall-mounted or portable if required.

04. Mark the position of other devices used to distribute the acoustic alarm, in addition to the siren integrated in the control unit:

a) outdoor siren (MASO1); b) indoor siren (MASI1).

The control unit has a specific built-in siren, but, in the case of isolated buildings, the installation of at least one outdoor siren is strongly recommended. This should be positioned in a highly visible location (its mere presence serves as a deterrent) but in a place difficult to access by vandals/burglars. Although the sirens are adequately protected for outdoor applications, they should be installed in an area protected against direct rain; the ideal location would be under a protruding roof or on a terrace/balcony. In large or multi-floor buildings, the addition of one or

3.1 - Application limits

• Before proceeding with installation, check the condition of the product, adequacy of the selected model and suitability of the intended installation environment.

• Ensure that all conditions of use remain within the limits as specified in chapter 12 - “Technical Specifications”.

• The product may only be integrated with Mhouse devices (not supplied in the pack.

3.2 - Draw the layout of the devices on a drawing of the

home to be protected

Prepare a drawing of the environments to be protected and then mark the exact points where the various devices are to be installed. To proceed with work, read the following sections with reference to the example shown in fig. 1.

Caution! – This drawing will be of use later to perform the tasks described in chapters 4 and 7.

01. Mark the position of all detectors used to protect the environ-

ment perimeter

a) against opening of doors and windows (MAD1); b) against intrusion from outside, using infra-red technology (MAD2)

and vertical curtain technology (MAD3).

It is essential to choose the type of detector with care, depending on the intended use. A detector that is incorrect or positioned in an unsuitable location may not detect intrusion or cause improper alarms. Each type of detector has a specific operating principle; therefore refer to the technical datasheet of each detector as provided in chapter 7.

02. Mark the position of all detectors used to protect the inside

the environment:

Sirens

The sirens represent the main deterrent elements of the alarm system, thanks to the emission of high-power sounds and intimidating voice messages. The siren scares and dissuades the intruder, while the flashing light (if fitted) enables the area where the alarm trips to be lit up.

The models available are:

MASI1 Indoor siren via radio • Sound power 114 dB

MASO1 Outdoor bidirectional siren via radio • Dual Band • with built-in flashing

light and voice message board • Sound power 116 dB

MASO1

Remote controls and transponder badges

These represent the most practical and simple means of controlling an alarm system, both inside and outside buildings; they enable total or partial activation and deactivation of the system. Some keys are used to send emergency signals and automation control signals.

The models available are:

MATX4 Bidirectional radio remote control • 4 keys dedicated to the alarm system

MATX8 Bidirectional radio remote control • 4 keys dedicated to the alarm system and 4 keys for the con-

trol of Mhouse automations

MATERIAL ESTIMATED MAXIMUM RANGE

walls and other objects located between the emitting device and the receiving device (control unit); b) the characteristics of the wall construction materials; c) the presence of electromagnetic sources that create radio disturbance (for example, radio television equipment). Therefore all system devices should be installed far from radio television equipment; also avoid installation of the control unit in alcoves, metal cabinets, on load-bearing columns of the building or on reinforced concrete walls. There must not be any large metal surfaces or metal grids near the control unit, including those inside walls.

To sum up, to calculate the maximum admissible distance between the control unit and a device, in relation to the number of obstacles and the shielding properties of the relative materials, refer to Table 1.

C and D - To enable use of the telephone system integrated in the control

unit and the relative services available, the control unit should be positioned in an area equipped with the fixed telephone line. Also, if GSM telephone communication is required, the control unit must be positioned in a location with good coverage of the GSM network.

more indoor sirens (MASI1) is recommended, located in the main rooms.

05. Mark the position of the control unit, taking into consideration

the following:

• the control unit must be positioned at least 1 m from the ground;

• the distance of the control unit from each detector (point A);

• the number of walls present between the control unit and devices,

and the characteristics of the construction materials (point B);

• the position of the telephone land line (only if the function for alarm notification by telephone is required) (point C);

• coverage of the GSM telephone network (only if equipped with the MACU1 control unit, with GSM dialler) (point D).

A - The control unit operates by transmitting and receiving low power radio signals (within the limits as envisaged by standards). For this reason the control unit should be positioned at the centre with respect to all other devices. The latter should not be positioned too far from the unit to avoid failure to receive the relative radio signals.

B - The zone where the control unit is installed must enable adequate radio signal propagation. Take into account that inside buildings, radio transmission may be influenced by a number of factors: a) the number of

4 - PRELIMINARY PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES (Dividing the alarm area into “zones”)

• zone B = door and window opening detectors (MAD1);

• zone C = indoor volumetric detectors (MAD2).

Benefits: freedom of movement within the home, with perimeter protection

against intrusion from outside (zone C off; zones A and B on).

Example of “block” distribution (fig. 3):

• zone A = garage detectors;

• zone B = ground floor detectors;

• zone C = first floor detectors. Benefits: during the night, only the ground floor and garage detectors can

be left activated (zone C off, zones A and B on).

As well as these 3 zones, there is a zone defined as “24 hour technical” in which technical sensors are programmed, such as those for smoke and flooding. This group is always active and cannot be deactivated.

4.1 - Dividing the entire environment into “ZONES” for

subsequent total or partial activation of the alarm system

During programming, the detectors can be grouped into 3 different areas, called “Zone A, B, C”. During system use, this division enables total or partial activation of the alarm, with the option of differentiated protection of the environment.

The logic adopted to assign the detectors to the same group must be evaluated on the basis of the type of building and routine use of the various areas involved. In any event, all devices can be programmed within a single zone as required (e.g. zone C).

Example of “perimeter” distribution (fig. 2):

• zone A = volumetric proximity sensors on doors and windows, with “cur-

tain” lens (MAD3);

5 - STANDARD PROGRAMMING OF THE ALARM SYSTEM

The following sections describe how to program the system for standard operation.

Before proceeding with programming all devices, the touchscreen must first be programmed and associated with the control unit (paragraph 5.1).

Note – Place the control unit and various devices without batteries on a table (to open the battery compartment and personalise the functions of individual devices, refer to the respective datasheets in chapter 7).

5.1 - Associate the touchscreen with the control

unit

To ensure that the touchscreen communicates correctly with the control unit, the following association procedure must be performed:

01. Define the “administrator” and “user” code (minimum 4, maximum 8 digits) and note them down in the following table. Important! – The two codes must be different. See paragraph 5.1.1 - “Defining the three types of code”.

02. On the touchscreen:

a) fig. 4: press at point (1) and push the base (2) upwards. b) fig. 4: insert the memory board “A” in the relative slot (do not insert batteries).

03. On the control unit:

a) ensure that no batteries are fitted; remove if necessary. b) to use the GSM line, insert the SIM CARD in the slot (see fig. 5) be-

fore inserting the batteries. The SIM CARD is not essential for correct operation of the alarm control unit. The SIM CARD enables the delivery of alarm messages, in voice or text form, if the PSTN telephone line is not available (or in addition to the PSTN line). The SIM CARD is not included in the KIT. The alarm system can operate with contract or “pay as you go” SIM CARDS. Before installing the SIM CARD the PIN CODE must be disabled. c) insert the batteries; 1 beep confirms activation.

04. On the touchscreen:

a) after the confirmation beep from the control unit, insert the batter-

ies in the touchscreen keypad within one minute. b) The touchscreen immediately requests entry of the “administrator” code and “user” code.

05. At this point the control unit and touchscreen are associated after entry

of the codes.

06. Close the touchscreen cover (to install the control unit, see paragraph

7.3.2).

The other system devices can now be programmed; see paragraph 5.2. Before proceeding, ensure that you are familiar with the various screen pages and icons available on the touchscreen; see paragraph 5.3.

5.1.1 - Defining the three types of code.

“Administrator” code – This code is a numerical sequence of at least 4 digits and enables access to programming mode with administrator rights. The administrator is normally the person assigned to program and configure the alarm system; this person is authorised to perform all programming procedures, including total deletion, but may not activate or deactivate the alarm.

“User” code – This code is a numerical sequence of at least 4 digits and enables access to only part of the programming mode. The user is normally the person who manages routine system operation on a daily basis (for example, consulting the event log, temporarily disabling a detector, etc.). The user code enables activation and deactivation of the alarm.

“Access” codes – These codes are numerical sequences of 5 digits, which only enable activation and deactivation of the alarm. Access codes are normally assigned, – one per person, – to all those who may activate or deactivate the alarm. The same code should not be assigned to more than one person, as it would then be difficult to check who performed which operation in the event log.

5.2 - Programming the other system devices

After associating the touchscreen with the control unit (paragraph 5.1) and ensuring a full understanding of the relative functions, the other system devices can be programmed, as described in paragraphs 5.4 and 5.5. Follow each step of the sequence in the specified order.

5.3 - Navigating the touchscreen menus

The touchscreen is fitted with a tactile graphic display; to use, simply touch the surface with a finger and press lightly; do not exert pressure! Only when the virtual graphic keypad is used, for more precision, use of the stylus supplied may be necessary. On activation, the touchscreen shows the main menu with three icons giving access to the respective sub-menus. To navigate the menus and submenus, simply touch the icon on screen. Various screen models and icons are available for navigation. Before proceeding, familiarise yourself with these items with reference to fig. 6. and fig. 6a.

This test enables confirmation of whether the control unit can receive the radio signal from the detectors; it also enables a check of the received signal quality. The test is particularly suitable for systems subject to extreme conditions, with respect to the application limits stated in chapter 3. In these cases a prior check should be made, before final fixture, to ensure that the radio signal emitted by a detector is able to reach the control unit. The test must be repeated periodically.

Perform the test as follows:

01. Place the control unit provisionally in the envisaged point.

02. Activate the “Control unit” test function:

03. In the main menu of the touchscreen, touch the icon , scroll through the list with the arrow icon and select

04. Enter the “ADMINISTRATOR or USER CODE” and touch “OK” to confirm.

05. Touch “Test” followed by “Control Unit”.

06. Touch to run the test.

07. Perform the test: from the envisaged point of final installation, transmit a radio signal from each of the various devices.

Example: open the window or pass in front of a volumetric detector (MAD2). The control unit emits a beep to confirm signal reception.

08. The check test results on the touchscreen, touch and check the list of recorded transmissions on display. For each transmission it is possible to display the name of the detector that transmitted the signal and the signal quality on both transmission frequencies; for example, if the display shows:

ALL CAMERA 1 C1: nnn C2: nnn

this means:

AL = alarm event ROOM 1 = name of receiver C1 = 433 MHz radio frequency C2 = 868 MHz radio frequency

nnn = optimal signal nn = good signal n = sufficient signal

= no signal

If there is no signal (n) on one

of the frequencies (C1 or C2) the detector is probably outside the maximum range or there is disturbance on this fre-

quency; in any event a single frequency should still be sufficient to guarantee correct system operation. However, if both frequencies display nothing, a practical test must be made by arming the control unit and generating the alarm. Technical practices envisage the test when the signal is weak: in normal conditions the system should continue to be operative. A detector signal may at times be optimal (nnn) and at other times good (nn): this may depend on random interference or the movement of persons in the area during testing. This often occurs with remote controls as their position with respect to the control unit can easily change.
