1. Description
The BS-468/A is an 8 zone burglar alarm panel. Using the special expansion card BS-469 it can be
expanded to 16 zones. Using the special expansion card BS-479, the panel acquires 32 wireless
zones. For its operation, at least one BS-466 keyboard is required. Up-to 8 keyboards can be connected to the panel. Each keyboard has an additional zone for connecting magnetic contacts (zones
17–24). The main board of the panel has port for connecting an YET-205B-630 remote control receiver and an automatic telephone dialler. On the telephone dialler port, you can connect a BS-465 wired
PSTN telephone dialer or a BS-464 wireless GSM telephone dialer.
The diagram below shows the interior of the panel and the keyboard.

2. User instructions
2.1. Basic operations
The panel has 1 main code (master code) which by default is set to [1 2 3 4] and up-to 50 user codes
which by default are not programmed. The system can operate in two different modes. Depending on
the mode of operation, the arm and disarm operations differ.
Complete System
In this case the system arms and disarms altogether.
Arming can be achieved by using the master code or one of the user codes. The arming of the sys-
tem can also be done by simply pressing the ABC key during the installation if the option «ARM
WITHOUT CODE» has been selected.
Disarming can be achieved by entering the master code or one of the user codes.
Split System
In this case the system operates as three independent subsystems. You can arm and disarm the
whole system or each subsystem independent from the others.
Arming of the whole system can be done by using the master code or one of the user codes that
have been programmed for general arming. The arming of the system can also be done by simply
pressing the ABC key if during the programming the option «ARM WITHOUT CODE» has been selected.
The disarming of the system can be done by using the master code or one of the user code that
have been programmed for general disarming.
The individual arming of the subsystems Α, Β, C can be done by pressing one of the user codes
that have been programmed to arm each subsystem. The arming can also be done by pressing one of
the Α, Β or C keys if during the programming « ARM WITHOUT CODE » has been selected. The arming of one subsystem does not affect the status (armed-disarmed) of the other subsystems.
The individual disarming of the subsystems Α, Β, C can be done by pressing one of the user
codes that have been programmed to disarm each subsystem. The arming of one subsystem does not
affect the status (armed-disarmed) of the other subsystems.
If during the arming procedure a zone is active then the keyboard shows the message:
Which means that on zone 5(kitchen) a window has been left open.
If we press (#) the arm command is canceled.
If we press (*) or close the kitchen window we see:
This message is shown for 1 second and immediately the arming
process starts.

2.2. Armed system indication
When the system is armed, then next to the clock, instead of the
Olympia electronics logo there is a lock symbol. Next to the lock
symbol we can see which sections are armed. In this example we
can see that the system is partially armed because only the C
section is armed. If the system was fully armed then the symbols
Α, Β, C would have been displayed. When the system is disarmed then the lock is removed and the Olympia electronics logo
is displayed.
2.3. Advanced operations
By pressing the " * " key the display shows:
Using the up and down keys (keys 2 and 8), we can move the cursor upward or downward. By using the " * " key we can achieve
the required selection. By using the " #
backwards or cancel a selection.
" we can go one level
ESC
Selecting «BYPASS ZONES» we see:
We can select which zones are disabled (will not be armed) during
the next arming of the system. For example, if we enter 04 and then
immediately 07, this means that the next time the system is armed,
zones 4 and 7 will be disabled. If a zone blinks, this means that it is
preventing the system from arming. If it is blackened then this
means that it is disabled. If it is blinking and blackened then this
means that it is disabled but would prevent the panel from arming if
it was not disabled.
Selecting «BYPASS W/LESS ZONES» we see:
The same applies for wireless zones. The only difference is that the
zone numbers are 25 - 56 (wireless zones).
For the selection «MASTER OR TECH MENU» you will find information in the section "Main User
Menu" in a following page.

Selecting «WIRED ZONE CONDITION»:
In the following window we can test the good operation of the zones
and the devices connected to them. For examples, if a magnetic
contact of a window is connected to zone 4 and the window opens
then the message of the display from «ALL ZONES OK» will be
erased and the indication 04 will start blinking. As soon as the window closes, the screen will display the previous message «ALL
ZONES OK». With this method we can test the good operation of
all the detectors and magnetic contacts.
The same applies to «WLESS ZONE CONDITION», except the fact that the menu is dedicated to
wireless zones.
By pressing «LAST ALARMS» we can view the alarms that were triggered during the last arming of
the system. The display will be like the one below:
This means that an alarm was triggered for zone 8 which is a
TAMPER zone (24 hour operation). The alarm was issued on 12:20
on 07 March 2012 and that is the first of 3 events.
Using the up and down arrows (keys 2 and 8) we can view all the
registered alarm events.
The «LAST ALARMS» line is visible if an alarm has been triggered
at least once.
By selecting «ALL EVENTS» we can see all events that have happened and are stored in the panel's
internal memory:
This means that an error event was triggered for Zone1 at 12:20 on
March 07, 2012. It also informs us this is the 70th event of a total of
70 events. With the up and down arrow keys (2 and 8) we can see
all the registered events.
The event memory has a capacity of 250 events and once filled the
new event will erase the oldest. The events that are registered are
errors, alarms, user and technician menu access as well as the
arming and disarming of the system. The main user and the technician can both erase the events memory using there respective
menus.
«MANUAL OUTPUTS CHECK»:
With "2" and "8" keys we can select the required option and by
pressing " * " we can see or we can change the state of the output Ρ1, Ρ2, Ρ3, RELAY.

Warning. In order for an output to be able to change state from this
selection it must be programmed as «ON-OFF MANUAL». When an
output changes state, the device connected to it is activated. A
manual change of the output sets the output to a permanent condition which can only change by manually changing the output again.
It is suggested to use this selection with caution and only if we want
to manually control a connected device.

3.2. Connections
Connecting the battery and the mains power supply
As far as the battery is concerned, there are two cables, red and black for connection to the positive
and negative pole respectively.
Keyboard connections
In order to simplify the installation procedure, the keyboard has two parts, the base and the main
body. The base is the part that must be mounted to the wall. It contains only the connections terminals
and a small alignment vial that is used to correctly mount the base. After connecting the cables, the
main body is fastened to the base. A screw on the bottom side does not permit accidental removing of
the main body from the base.
To connect the panel to the keyboard of keyboards use the terminals 12V, -, A and Β. Respective terminals are also found on the keyboard. The connection is a typical RS-485 connection and requires a
terminal resistor on the two outmost devices.
Connecting a keyboard to the panel. The jumper for the terminal resistor must be placed in order to
make contact with the 2 pins (activated terminal resistors).
16 921468007_09_010
Page 17
Connecting 8 keyboards to the panel. The cables must be connected in such a way that will permit the
connection of the device one after the other. No terminal should contain 3 cables or more. The jumpers of the terminal resistors must be placed only on the two outermost devices. On all the other devices is should be removed or left in a open position.
This same connection can be used if we want to connect 2 to 7 keyboards.
Outputs EXT A, B are not used at present time.
17 921468007_09_010
Page 18
Siren connections
For connecting the autonomous siren type BS-413 up-to 7 cables are required.
On the terminals (+) και (-) connect the voltage (AS), (-) which charges the siren.
When we supply the (ST) with 12V the siren and the beacon are activated. Connect (ST) to the P1
contact of the panel which is programmed to provide 12V during an alarm and 0V during the idle state.
When the (SE) terminal is connected to (-) it prohibits the siren to operate. This cable is connected to
a (-) terminal of the panel during the installation procedure or any other time that the cover of the siren
must be removed (i.e. during a battery change). In normal operation the cable must be removed from
the (-) terminal of the panel.
When the (FL) terminal is supplied with 12V the beacon is activated. If it is connected to the terminal
P3 of the panel then the beacon will flash once for 2 seconds when the panel is armed and three times
(0.5 second duration) when the panel is disarmed.
The contacts (Τ1) and (Τ2) are the TAMPER contacts of the siren which are connected to a respective
zone on the panel which by default is zone 8 (TAMPER zone).
To connect an internal siren BS-441, two cables are required. Connect the (ES) and (-) of the panel to
the respective (+) and (-) of the siren.
Each panel can accept up-to 2 external autonomous and 1 internal siren.
18 921468007_09_010
Page 19
Zone connections
Connecting the panel with radars (infrared movement detectors, PIR) or other devices which require
power. For the connection, 4 cables are required (6 if the TAMPER is connected). The 2 cables are
connected to the (12V) and (-) of the panel and provide power to the respective terminals of all the
detectors. The other 2 cables connect in series the contacts RELAY (NC) of all the detectors of the
zone and the resistors found on the terminals of the panel. The diagram above provides examples for
connecting 1 or 2 detectors on the zones.
For the connection of magnetic contacts or other devices that do not require
power only 2 cables are required.
The diagram to the left
shows the connections with
one or two magnetic contacts on the zones.

Page 20
UPDATING DATA..
Connection of smoke and heat detectors
The connection of the fire detectors is possible only if the zone which are connected is programmed
as a «FIRE» zone. The normally closed contacts of the relay on the base (NC,C) are connected in
series with the resistor of the zone of the panel.
The power to the base is done using (-) and the output Ρ2 which by default is programmed as «SUPPLY FIRE DETECTOR».
3.3. Programming through the keyboard
When a user tries to change a setting in the user menu or the technician menu he can view the current
value of the setting in BS-466/A, but in BS-477 the cursor always goes to the first line of the selections. The only menus that do not offer the preview of default values are menus «CALL ON» on the

General settings
«TECHNICIAN MENU» «SETTINGS» :
From this menu we can adjust all the general settings of the panel.
The first 3 options are described on the "Master user Menu" section
of the manual (Page 10).
«ENTRANCE TIME». That is the delay between a device (trap, radar etc.) triggering and an alarm event. This option is valid only for
zones that have been programmed as zones with delay. By pressing
" * " a new screen appears and the current entrance delay is
shown (30) in seconds. Enter the new time (05-99, 2 digits are mandatory) i.e. 0 and 9 for 9 seconds. The system stores the value and
returns to the menu «SETTINGS».
«EXIT TIME». That is the time from when the arming password is
entered until the actual arming of the system. Pressing " * " reveals
a new screen where the current exit time is shown. By default it is 45
seconds. We enter the new required exit time with 2 digit numbers
(00-99, 2 digits are mandatory) i.e. 6 and 0 for 60 seconds. The system stores the value and returns to the menu «SETTINGS».
«EXTRA EXIT TIME». It is the extra time that is added to the "EXIT TIME". It is used when a user
arms the panel with a «SET WITH DELAY EXTRA» code or the zone is declared as "ZONE NEXT
DELAY".
«SECTIONS EXIT TIME». With this selection we define if sections A, B, C have an arming delay. We
must reply YES or NO for each subsection.
«ENTRANCE DELAY BEEPS». A user can select YES if he wants the built-in buzzer to sound during
the entry countdown.
«EXIT DELAY BEEPS» A user can select YES if he wants the built-in buzzer to sound during the exit
countdown.
«BEEP PARTIALLY ARMED.» Select if the built-in buzzer will sound during the exit time in case of a
partial arming of the system (section arming Α, Β or C).
«BEEP PARTIALLY ARMED» Select if the system can be armed without a password, with the use of
the keys A. B. C. ABC. The selection only affects the arming, for the disarming a password is always
required.
«ARM WITHOUT CODE». Indicates that the system can be armed just by pressing A, B, C, ABC. The
default selection is "YES".
«ARMED SYS INDICATORS». We have 2 selections «OFF» or «ON». The default selection is "ON".
When the option is enabled, the LED indicators are lit when the panel is armed. The indicators are
always lit when the panel is disarmed. This option is not valid on wireless keyboard BS-477.
«IDLE BACKLIGHT MODE». This option affects the illumination of the display and the keypads during
the idle state of the system. The idle state is the state where there is not alarm and no key has been
pressed for 30 seconds. We have 3 options. ALWAYS OFF, ONLY WHEN DISARMED which means
23 921468007_09_010
«ALARM TIME». It is the time that the siren will stay active. This
time counts from the instance that all activation devices have
stopped activating the panel. Select 1 or 2 minutes. The system
stores the value and returns to the menu «SETTINGS».

button for 5 seconds. This key works even if the system is armed.
«RECORD OUTPUTS EVENT». We select whether the state of the outputs will be logged as individual events (Ρ1, Ρ2, Ρ3 and RELAY) or not.
«AUTOMATIC BYPASS». By selecting YES, all zones that have been programmed with bypass capabilities (see zone programming), are bypassed automatically, if during the arming sequence they
are active (i.e. an open window). When the zones are deactivated (i.e. the window has closed) they
are automatically activated. If we select NO, then, if there are active zones during the arming procedure, the system will request a bypass confirmation for each active zone.
«REMOTECONTROL ACTION». We select the operation mode of the remote control (if available).
The available actions are "ARM-DISARM", "PANIC", "ALL FUNCTIONS" and "DEACTIVATION".
When ‘’ALL FUNCTIONS‘’ is selected, we can perform arming, disarming, panic alarm and silent
alarm. For wireless operation use the YET-205B-630 remote control receiver and RF-467 remote control transmitter.
«ANNUAL CHECK WARNING». By selecting YES, the system will issue a reminder signal after 1 year
of operation, in order to notify the user for the annual technical inspection.
Automatic arming-disarming
"
«TECHNICIAN MENU» «TIMERS» :
With this selection we can program up to 10 automatic arming or disarming procedures of all or part of
the system. Selecting «TIMERS» an the next screen appears:
The user has to enter a timer number. The following screen appears.
If the «CHANGE TIMER» is selected it means that the timer is
active. If the «DELETE TIMER» is highlighted then this means
that the timer is inactive. The inactive timer always has a default time of 12:00
The selection «CHANGE TIMER» is also used to create a procedure.

The event memory logs the arming or disarming of the system but
also shows that the event has been launched by a timer.
In case a user chooses «DELETE TIMER», the specific timer will be deleted.
Zone Programming
The next option in the "TECHNICIAN MENU" is «ZONES».
Through that menu option the technician can adjust the parameters
of the zones. These functions apply for both wired and wireless zones. By selecting it, we can enter the desired zone number (01 -
56). After inserting the zone's number, the name of the zone appears. If the zone is a wireless zone, the device's ID and type also
appear for 2 seconds.
After that time, the "ZONE MODE" menu appears. In every menu
item, the cursor highlights the current setting.
«DISABLE OFF». The zone does not function and cannot trigger and alarm or fault signal. All zones
not existing physically on the system (i.e zones 09-16 if there in no expansion card, or wireless zones)
by default are in this state. Usually we set this state to all zones that are not used.
25 921468007_09_010
Page 26
«ZONE WITH DELAY». The zone will trigger an alarm event after an entrance delay. This selection is
used for the magnetic contacts that are used for the main entrance and also for the radar the will detect the user before he reaches the panel to disarm it. For wireless PIR sensor and magnetic sensor,
the selection is forced from the device Dip-switch and it is validated only in the technician menu. If the
user selects anything else except for “zone with delay” or “zone with no delay”, then the panel setting
is forced and the Dip-switch has no effect. Changing the Dip-switch of the device outside technician
menu has no effect. The user must enter technician menu, change the Dip-switch and press the tamper of the device, in order to validate the delay option.
«ZONE WITHOUT DELAY». The zone will trigger an immediate alarm. This selection is used for radar
detectors and magnetic contacts that are used in other areas. For the delay settings read the procedure above in the paragraph «ZONE WITH DELAY».
«PANIC». This zone will trigger an immediate alarm event, even though the panel is disarmed. It will
also produce a panic alarm message if a telephone dialer is installed. It can be used on zones that
have a panic button.
«FIRE». This zone will trigger an immediate alarm event even if the panel is disarmed. It will also produce a fire alarm message if a telephone dialer is installed. It can be used on zones that have smoke
and heat detectors.
«SILENT». The zone will trigger an immediate silent alarm event. It will activate the telephone dialler if
installed and not the sirens. It can be used in zones that have a panic button and the human that operates it is being threatened by not using it.
«ZONE NEXT DELAY». When this option is activated, the system will arm after (EXIT TIME+EXTRA
EXIT TIME) time.
«SET SECTION». When this zone is activated it will arm the whole system or a section of it. It can be
used to arm the panel through some other system such as a BMS or fire alarm system. The zone must
be connected with a normally closed contact of the relay of the other system. If this setting is made by
a keyboard, ‘’YES’’ should be selected in zone bypass and forced arming selection.
«UNSET SECTION». When this zone is activated it will disarm the whole system or a section of it. It
can be used to disarm the panel when some other system such as a BMS or fire alarm system is also
disarmed. The zone must be connected with a normally closed contact of the relay of the other system.If this setting is made by a keyboard, ‘’YES’’ should be selected in zone bypass and forced arming selection.
«SET UNSET SECTION». When this zone is activated it will change the state of the panel or a section
of it from armed to disarmed and vice versa. It can be used to arm the panel through some other system such as a BMS or fire alarm system. The zone must be connected with a normally closed contact
of the relay of the other system. If this setting is made by a keyboard, ‘’YES’’ should be selected in
zone bypass and forced arming selection.
«PG CONTROL». As far this particular zone is enabled, the selected output will also be activated. In
this option the technician must choose between P1, P2, P3 or RELAY.
«TAMPER». This zone will trigger an immediate alarm event, even if the panel is disarmed. It can be
used as a zone for connecting the TAMPER outputs of the external siren or the other devices.
«RADAR 2 PULSES». This is a special zone type is used for avoid false alarms. Only radars (PIR
sensors) must be connected to this zone. When the panel is armed it operates with the following way:
If the panel receives the first alarm signal from the specific zone, it waits for 5 minutes. If during this
interval, the panel receives a second signal, an immediate alarm is triggered. If during the 5 minute
interval a second signal is not received by the panel, then the first signal is considered to be a false
alarm and is discarded.

_WIRED ZONE CONDITION_
ALL ZONES OK
After selecting the zone mode we must select the section (A, B, C). If we want to operate the panel as
a whole system then this selection is important.
The next setting is "ZONE BELL". In case we select "YES", when the panel is armed and the zone is
activated, the keyboard buzzer will sound. This function can be used for example to warn us that the
door of a store has opened by connecting its magnetic trap to this zone.
Next selection is «BYPASS». Within that option we can select if a zone can be bypassed either manually or automatically. By default this setting is set to "YES" for all zones. Select NO only for critical
zones, (i.e. zone with magnetic contact used for protecting a safe) so that the system cannot be armed
when the specific zone is active.
The «FORCED ARM» setting has 2 different operation modes.
a) YES: If the zone during the arm process is active (i.e. open window), the system will be armed
without taking into account this zone. If the zone becomes deactivated (the windows closes) the
specific zone will be inserted into the armed system as an armed zone.
b) NO: If the zone during the arm process is active (i.e. open window) and bypass has not been se-
lected, the panel will warn us that the arming is not possible.
For the last three settings the panel will automatically select the correct setting. If no special settings
are required, then it is good practice not to alter them.
Wired zones status
«TECHNICIAN MENU» «WIRED ZONE CONDITION»:
The technician can check the status of the wired zones (1 - 16) and
the devices connected on them. For example, if a magnetic contact
of a window is connected on zone 4 and someone opens it, the
"ALL ZONES OK" will disappear and number "04" will start blink.
When the window is being closed, the screen will return to its previous state. The same procedure is used for PIR sensors (radars)
too.
Outputs programming
«TECHNICIAN MENU» «OUTPUTS»:
Through this setting we can program the way each of the outputs
Ρ1, Ρ2, Ρ3 and RELAY will operate. When an output is activated
we mean that it has 12V or the relay has been activated. When an
output has been deactivated it has 0V and the relay is in the idle
state. Press " * ", choose the output, then press " * "again. The
following choices appear:
«LIKE SIREN». Activates the external siren (via the START terminal) with positive logic. It has 0V in
the idle state and 12V in alarm. By default this is how the P1 output is programmed.
«ON ALARM». It is activated when an alarm event is triggered from a zone which has been programmed like:
ZONE WITH DELAY
ZONE WITHOUT DELAY
ZONE NEXT DELAY
«ON FIRE». It is activated when we have an alarm event from a FIRE zone.
«ON PANIC». It is activated when we have an alarm event from a PANIC zone.
«ON FAULT». It is activated when a fault has happened.
«ON ARM». It is activated when the panel is armed.
«FLASH». It produces 3 short pulses during the arming of the panel and one long pulse during the
disarming. It can be connected to the FLASH or FL of the external siren. It is useful, if the system is
controlled by remote control. By default the output P3 is programmed with this function.
«ON OFF MANUAL». It is activated manually by the keyboard of by a zone that has been programmed as PG CONTROL. By default the output RELAY is programmed like this.
«AC STATUS». It is activated in the event of an AC power supply failure.
«SUPPLY FIRE DETECTOR». It is suitable for powering smoke and heat detectors. It has a perma-
nent voltage of 12V which is disrupted for 5 seconds after every disarming. By default this is how the
output P2 is programmed.
«ΟΝSILENT ALARM». It is activated when an alarm has been triggered by a "SILENT" zone.
Output "Ρ4" is a voltage output and it is not used at present time.
System general parameters programming
«TECHNICIAN MENU» «SYSTEM»:
«SCAN EXTENSIONS». Automatically detects expansion cards. It must be executed whenever one of
the zone cards, a GSM answering machine or a PSTN answering machine is connected to the panel.
NOTE: If the command is given by a wireless keyboard, it will lose its communication with the panel for
the next 40 seconds.
In this case, two events can take place : A) If the user remains in the technician's menu, then the key-
board LEDs will stop updating for 40 seconds. B) If the user comes out of the technician's menu and
then turns off the monitor, if the keyboard is turned on and the display lights up before 40 seconds, a
panel communication error message will appear. This error will be disappeared from the screen after
40 seconds.
28 921468007_09_010
«DEVICE ADDRESS».
By default each keyboard BS-466/A is assigned by address 2. If we
only have one keyboard there is no reason to change the address. If
we have more than one keyboard, each keyboard must have its own
address in order to be acknowledged by the panel. We can change it
by hat option. This option is NOT available on the BS-477 Wireless Keyboard.
«SCAN KEYBOARDS».
Use this option to have the panel scan for all connected keyboards.

If «ACTIVATED» is selected, the stored telephone number can send commands to the panel only if the
option “Remote access” is activated for this telephone number.
If «ACTIV BY ALL NUMB.» is selected then any telephone number can send commands to the panel.
For detailed information regarding the GSM card BS-464 (i.e. remote access, SMS command syntax)
refer to the user manual of the BS-464.
Wireless Network
BS-468/A can support up to 32 wireless devices. This feature is
acquired by the presence of BS-479 wireless zones expansion
card. The wireless zones numbering starts at 25 and ends at 56.
By the time BS-479 is scanned successfully («SYSTEM»
«SCAN EXTENSIONS» menu), the user can enter «WIRELESS
NETWORK» menu. The choices of that particular menu are
shown on the right screen.
«VIEW DEVICE»
Information about the connected wireless devices are shown here.
These information are the following:
a) "W/LESS ZONE": The zone number in which the specific device is assigned (e.g.: 25).
e) "RSSI: Χ/4 ": The devices signal strength appears on a scale from 1 to 4.
«ASSIGN ZONE»
Normally, on Network Installation, every device that is recognized, is assigned automatically to the first
free wireless zone number. Through "ASSIGN ZONE" function it is possible to assign a wireless device to a specific zone of our choice. ATTENTION! If a device already exists in the specific zone, it will
be deleted.
023FDD23.
Digits A - C can be inserted through the wired keyboard by holding them down for 1-2 seconds. Letter
D can be inserted by pressing "ABC". Letter E is inserted by pressing keys "A" + "B" for 1 second and
letter F by pressing and holding "B" + "C". Press " * " in order to exit the screen.
33 921468007_09_010
b) "DEV. VERSION": The designated device's program version
(e.g.: V1.27).
c) "BS-470": The device's name that is found in the corresponding
zone (wireless PIR sensor BS-470, wireless magnetic sensor
BS-471, wireless siren BS-475, wireless keyboard BS-477)
d) "ID": This is the unique address each device has.
First of all we set the number of the zone we want the device to be assigned
to. The number's range is 25 to 56.
Subsequently, an information screen appears. It explains what keys can be
used for device address. Every device has its own address ID, which can be
found in the devices sticker. That sticker can be found inside the device. Examples of valid IDs are: 0A00010D, 02001FF9, 07000012, 03000001,
Page 34
ATTENTION!. The above screen changes if the user uses a wireless keyboard (BS-477). The difference is that letter E is inserted by pressing " * " and letter F by pressing " #. If the user does not type a
digit within 10 seconds, the keypad returns to the "WIRELESS NETWORK" menu.
If there is another device in place of the zone we select, the panel will display the failed assignment
message. In this case, the existing zone must be deleted and then re-assigned.
«NETWORK INSTALLATION»
In order to have a fully operational wireless alarm network, all the devices must be assigned into wireless zones. This is done through "Network Installation", a procedure that is covered in detail on the
next page of this manual.
«DELETE SINGLE ZONE»
We can delete a single wireless zone. Acceptable zone numbers are 25 - 56. Once this action is completed, it is suggested that you press the device tamper so that the deletion can be validated instantly.
«DELETE ALL ZONES»
Through that choice, the user can delete all wireless zones of the system.
«RF COMM SUPERVISION»
Enables or disables wireless communication supervision. When the option is turned on, the panel
monitors the time at which the devices send a signal to it. If a device does not send a signal for 2
hours, then a fault message appears on the screen. The factory default setting is set to ON.
«WIRELESS TAMPERS»
This feature allows us to monitor in real time whether the switch of any wireless device installed on the
network is pressed or not. The numbers which displayed, are the wireless zones whose tamper is active (not pressed). When wireless keypad is used, its screen is refreshed every 8 sec.. Thus there
might be an 8-second delay (maximum) from the switching state of the device until this event on key-
pad’s screen to be displayed.
«WIRELESS SENSORS»
This feature allows us to monitor in real time whether the sensor of a wireless device that is installed
on the network is turned on or off. The numbers displayed are the wireless zones that give a sensor
activation signal. When wireless keypad is used, its screen is refreshed every 8 sec.. Thus there might
be an 8-second delay (maximum) from the switching state of the device until this event on keypad’s
screen to be displayed.
«SIGNAL STRENGTH»
This option is only available on the BS-477 wireless keyboard and allows us to monitor the strength of
the wireless signal according to the keyboard position. The display shows the signal power in 1 - 4
range and as RSSI (value in brackets). The bottom dashes are there to show us the communication
existence between the keyboard and the table. If they are blinking it means the device is on range and
receiving the panel's commands.
«SIREN LED SETTING»
Available options in this mode are YES and NO. If you select "YES", the siren beacon will flash 3 times
when the system is armed. Also, when disarming the system, it will light up one time. If you select
"NO", the siren beacon will not light up during both the arming and disarming of the system.

3.4. Wireless Zones Functions
Wireless Zones Extension Board Installation
The steps of BS-479 (wireless zones extension board for panel BS-468/A) installation are described
below.
1. Disconnect the power mains and battery. Place the 4 spacers intended for BS-479 support on the
panel board. Put the BS-479 board on the defined position. Screw the 4 screws and connect the
battery. Connect the power supply of the panel.
2. On the BS-466/A initial screen a "EXTENSION 05 NOT REGISTERED" fault appears.
3. Press " * " and choose "MASTER OR TECH MENU". By entering the "technician code" the us-
er has now "TECHNICIAN" privileges.
4. Press " 8 " until you are in line "SYSTEM". Press " * ".
5. By pressing " 8 " the user must choose "SCAN EXTENSIONS". Press " * " and wait until the
scanning process ends. When the scan procedure ends, the keyboard screen must have a ""
symbol in the corresponding extension card that has been detected. The BS-479 wireless zones
extension has the name "RF MASTER". The BS-477 keypad will not display the installed extension when the process is complete.
Wireless devices installation
Below there are all the necessary steps required to install - add wireless devices to the BS-468/A bur-
glar system. The specific procedure takes place by choosing "NETWORK INSTALLATION" and can
be started only if a user has "TECHNICIAN" privileges.
1. From the welcome screen, press " * " and then select "MASTER OR TECH MENU". By typing
the "TECHNICIAN" code we enter the technician menu.
2. By going down with the "8" button, on the second page of
the technical menu we select the "WIRELESS NETWORK"
menu. Select "NETWORK INSTALLATION" and " * " starts
installing wireless devices (see picture on the right). At the
bottom left there is a counter counting the seconds. After 999
seconds, if no device is added, the installation process stops
automatically. After the insertion of a new device it starts
counting from the beginning. The bottom right corner gives
the number of devices already installed on the network.
CAUTION! When installing more than one wireless devices, the installer must wait for 10 seconds before inserting another one. If this time is not met, there may be problems with the installation.
3. To add a device into the system, we need to place the battery
on this particular device, press the tamper spring for 1 to 2
seconds and then leave it. If successful, the message on the
right screen will appear. In the top line there is only one number (25) which is the number of the zone that the device has
been assigned to. The middle line shows the device type (BS-
35 921468007_09_010
Page 36
477, BS-470, BS-471, BS-475). The bottom line contains the unique address of the added device
(in our case 0300010F).
4. After a few seconds the installation screen reappears and we can add other devices if needed in
the same way. After inserting a device, a 10-second interval occurs during which no other device
can be identified.
5. If 32 devices have already been installed and try to add another, 4 long beeps will be heard. No
other devices can be installed.
6. By pressing the " #
" button, the installation procedure stops and we get back to "Wireless
ESC
Network" menu.
NOTE: For every change we make in the wireless zone menu and during the detection of extensions,
it takes time to update the wireless system data. During this process, when we try to enter a menu, a
message is displayed. When the process is complete, we can again use the menus.
Installing wireless network devices with your PC and the BS-477 Wireless Keyboard
In this case, the network installation should be done by PC-468 software. For this reason, there is a
USB connector on the BS-468/A too. The user should follow the following steps.
1. Plug the USB cable on the BS-468/A panel.
2. Open the PC-468 software and press "Scan keypads".
3. Press "Scan extensions".
4. Start "Network Setup" from the wireless tab.
As far as processes 3 and 4 are in progress, the BS-477 should not have its batteries. When the batteries are loaded, the panel will recognize it and install it into its network as well as any other wireless
devices assigned to the panel. The corresponding indicator on the PC program will also be updated.
When all of the above steps have been completed, the rest of the wireless network settings can be
executed normally by the BS-477.
Wireless network installation without keyboard and PC
The procedure is simple and is realized via BT1 button of the BS-479 expansion card. The process is
divided into 2 parts, the first one concerns the device detection and the second concerns the installation of a wireless keypad. When the BS-477 wireless keypad is installed, the installation of other devices can be completed by this keyboard’s menu. To process the procedure focus on BT1 button as
well as LED LD4 (green) of the BS-479 card. The total process of inserting a wireless keypad into the
network lasts approximately 2 minutes. It is noted that if another device is currently in technician
menu, the below procedure cannot take place.
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE STEPS
First, BS-468/A should detect the BS-479 extension. It will also search in general for all connected
devices, extensions and wired keyboards. The batteries, of the wireless keypad that will be inserted
into zone 25, should not be installed and the tamper switch must not be pressed. The procedure is the
following:
1. Power on the panel and wait for 30 seconds to initialize. At this stage, LD4 (green) is off.
2. Press the BT1 button for about 3 seconds until the LD4 lights up. Then release the button.
3. Wait about 60 seconds until LD4 goes out, indicating that devices detection has been com-
pleted.
4. Install the batteries to the keypad device. The panel will detect it and insert the device to the
network.At the same time LD4 will turn off.
5. Wait 15 seconds for the LCD and the LEDs of the wireless keypad. The procedure is now
complete and the rest of devices will be installed by this keypad’s technician menu.
6. End of procedure.
36 921468007_09_010
Page 37
NOTES
1. During the above procedure, do not attempt to add another device into the network (i.e. siren,
magnetic contact, etc.) other than the keypad. If you attempt to add another device during the
wireless keypad detection process, the panel will ignore it.
2. The keypad detection process has a 1-minute timeout period, once the LD4 starts blinking. If
no keypad is inserted within 1 minute, LD4 will go out. To start the procedure again, the BT1
button must be pressed once again.
3. When the keypad is successfully entered, the zone 25 to which it is entered will be deactivated
(OFF). To switch it on, go to the technician's zone menu. This happens because the tamper is
not pressed, so the panel will send an alarm command. As a result, if a wired siren is connected to it, it will start to sound.
4. If only a wireless keyboard is installed initially, then if a wired keyboard is connected later, the
second one will not communicate with the panel, therefore a keypad detection must be done
to start the panel communicating with the keyboard line.
5. The keyboard installation from the BS-479 extension as soon as it detects the keyboard will
erase all wireless zones and will insert the new keyboard into zone 25.
Wireless devices deletion
A) Deleting ALL wireless zones
From the main screen of the keyboard press " * " and then select "MASTER OR TECH MENU ". By
typing the TECHNICIAN code we enter the technician menu. By pressing the "8" button, on the second page of the menu we select the menu "WIRELESS NETWORK". We go down with the "8" button and select "DELETE ALL ZONES". After a few seconds, we return in the wireless menu. Wireless
devices will leave the network after a maximum of 2.5 minutes.
NOTE: If a wireless keyboard sends a command to delete its own zone, then after confirming the action, exit the technician's menu and let it go out. Once it re-activated, in the screen will be displayed a
communication error message with the panel indicating that its zone is now erased.
B) Deleting individual zones
From the main screen of the keyboard press " * " and then select "MASTER OR TECH MENU ". By
typing the TECHNICIAN code we enter the technician menu. By pressing the "8" button, on the second page of the menu we select the menu "WIRELESS NETWORK". We go down with the "8" button and select "DELETE SINGLE ZONE". We type the zone number that we want to delete and after a
few seconds we see the corresponding deletion success message on the keyboard screen. The device that was found in this zone exits the network after a maximum of 2.5 minutes.
NOTE: If a wireless keyboard sends a command to delete its own zone, then after confirming the action, exit the technician's menu and let it go out. Once it re-activated, in the screen will be displayed a
communication error message with the panel indicating that its zone is now erased.
C) Deleting devices manually
The following method of deleting a wireless device is recommended only if the wireless zone extension card (BS-479) needs to be changed.
The device must not have its battery. By pressing the tamper spring and holding it down, place the
battery. After about 3 seconds, the device red LED lights up and remains on for 10 seconds. Once it
turns off, remove the battery and leave the tamper spring.
37 921468007_09_010
Page 38
The battery can be reinserted after 5 seconds.
• Wireless keypads have the ability to delete the zone in which they belong to by sending a command
to the panel. Once such a command is given, there are two possible cases: Either it will restart immediately or it will wait for about 10 seconds and then restart. In each case, after reboot, a communication error message will appear, indicating that the keypad has been deleted from the network.
General information concerning wireless devices installation procedure
1. On a device that is already installed on the network, we can perform range test. The procedure is
described below.
a) Remove the battery from the device if installed.
b) Press tamper spring and keep it pressed.
c) Place the battery and wait for the device's LED to turn on.
d) When the LED turns on, wait for about 1-2 seconds and release the tamper spring. The LED
starts blinking.
e) After about 1-2 minutes, the LED stops blinking and flashes steadily 1 to 4 times for 1 second.
These flashes indicate signal quality.
1 flash : Powerful signal. Safe place for wireless device.
2 flashes : Normal signal. Secure position for the wireless device.
3 flashes : Weak signal. The wireless device will work, but there is a case of loss of
communication packets (creation of a time delay). It is not recommended to place the
wireless device in this position.
4 flashes : Out of range. The device will not operate in this position.
f) After conducting the range test, we can see the wireless link data in the menu "TECHNICIAN
MENU WIRELESS NETWORK VIEW DEVICE". With " 2 ", " 8 " we move between
the zones. The better the reception quality, the higher the RSSI (4/4 perfect reception).
2. As far as we are not performing the "Network Installation" procedure, no device can join the panel's network. Devices that are already connected to another panel cannot be installed on the panel
we are performing "Network Installation". For example, it is impossible to connect devices, on the
panel from the house next door that are already installed on another BS-468/A panel. Also, only
Olympia Electronics devices can be connected to BS-468/A and vice versa, i.e. Olympia Electronics wireless devices cannot be connected to third-party anti-theft alarm panels.
3. When a device enters the network, it automatically occupies the first available free zone. Thus, in
a network without devices, if we install 5 devices, they will be installed in zones 25, 26, 27, 28 and
29. If we try to add another device, it will be installed into the first free zone, that is 30. After that
we delete a device located in zone 27. If we install another device, it will automatically enter zone
27, and if we enter another one it will enter zone 31, which is the first free one. If we delete all
zones, the first free zone will again be 25. The only way to place the devices in a zone of our
choice is to select "ASSIGN ZONE" from the "WIRELESS NETWORK" menu.
4. To replace the battery from a wireless device, enter the "TECHNICIAN MENU", change the battery, and then go back to home screen.
Wireless Zones Events
Wireless zones can produce some extra events than wired zones. The common event with wired
devices is the tamper event, which when open, it will trigger an alarm, unless we are inside
"TECHNICIAN MENU". Also, if there is motion detection on a motion sensor, it will trigger an
alarm event only if the system is armed. While the system is disarmed, an information on the
"WIRELESS SENSORS" menu screen is depicted.
The same happens when the battery voltage of a wireless device, drops under a critical value.
If a wireless device or an extension card does not communicate with the panel for a long time in a
disarmed system, it is recorded as an error in the events log. If the same error occurs in an armed
system, an alarm will be triggered.
If the battery level on a wireless device is low for 12 hours, a low battery fault is generated. After
battery replacement, the fault will be reset in maximum 6 minutes time.
38 921468007_09_010
Page 39
If the value of the RSSI (signal strength) of a wireless device is low for half an hour, then a low
signal fault occurs.
If a user gets out of technician menu and there is tamper alarm active in a wireless device, the
siren will not sound for the specific zone. However the "Tamper Alarm" event will exist on the keypad screen.
Wireless devices types
WIRELESS ZONES EXTENSION CARD - BS-479
The wireless zones extension card is responsible for connecting the wireless devices with the panel. It
has 4 LED indicators. LD3 indicates the power supply of the device. The wireless zone extension
should not be removed or installed while the panel is connected to the power supply or the battery.
There is a risk of serious damage.
WIRELESS MOTION DETECTOR - BS-470
Wireless Motion Detection features 2 DIP switches (DS1) and a Tamper Switch.
DIP Switch1OFF position: The device triggers alarm event as soon as the sensor gets acti-
vated.
DIP Switch 1ON position: An alarm event is given after a time delay has elapsed since sensor
activation. That delay is set through "ZONES" menu.
DIP Switch 2OFF position: The device is in normal sensitivity mode.
DIP Switch 2ON position: The device is in high sensitivity mode and the detection area is now
bigger.
The wireless motion detector has also a terminal for connecting an external magnetic contact, which
when not in use must be short-circuited.
WIRELESS MAGNETIC CONTACT - BS-471
Wireless Magnetic Contact features 2 DIP switches (DS1) and a Tamper Switch.
DIP Switch1OFF position: Internal magnetic contact is on.
DIP Switch 1ON position: Internal magnetic contact is off. External magnetic contact is on.
DIP Switch 2OFF position The device triggers alarm event as soon as the sensor gets acti-
vated.
DIP Switch 2ON position: An alarm event is given after a time delay has elapsed since sensor
activation. That delay is set through "ZONES" menu.
The position where the magnet should be placed for the internal magnetic contact to function properly
is signaled with 2 protrusions on each side of the plastic box. The magnet may be placed on one or
the other side.
At KL1 we can connect external magnetic contact which, when not in use, must be short-circuited and
the DIP Switch 1 is in the OFF position.
WIRELSS SIREN - BS-475
The wireless siren features 4 DIP Switches (DS1), in order to adjust the alarm sound. Its default posi-
tion is anti-theft alarm sound. It also has 2 tamper contacts in case someone tries to open its lid or
someone tries to detach it from the wall. CN4 jumper junction is responsible for flashing the siren's
LED.
The photovoltaic cell is connected to the KL1 terminal.
The siren is also equipped with a foam sensor input and a Tilt Switch input.
The wireless siren sounds when an alarm occurs.
WIRELESS KEYPAD - BS-477
39 921468007_09_010
Page 40
An alarm system is not recommended to have more than 2 wireless keyboards installed. No more than
one keypad should be used when changes are made to the system.
It is forbidden to send settings or to type codes from 2 keypads at the same time.
The arming keys are activated after pressing them for 2 seconds.
The panic key on the wireless keyboard is "# ESC" and is activated by pressing it for 5 seconds. This
specific key can be pressed even if the keys are locked. In such a case the panic key unlocks the
whole keypad.
BS-477 MENU
It is the same as of BS-466/A menu, but with some minor differences. Most importantly, when entering
a menu, the current active setting is not illuminated, as in BS-466/A. Instead of that, the first setting is
always selected.
"ARMED SYS INDICATORS" and "IDLE BACKLIGHT MODE" menu options do not affect BS-477 and
are intended for use with BS-466/A only.
Inside "WIRELESS NETWORK" menu an extra line "SIGNAL STRENGTH" exists in BS-477.
SIGNAL STRENGTH MENU
"TECHNICIAN MENU" "WIRELESS NETWORK" "SIGNAL STRENGTH".
The user sees the current signal strength value on the screen. This value is updated every few se-
conds. When refreshed, the display shows "- - - -" a while. Values above 30 means good signal, 20 to
30 average signal, and below 20 means "low signal". Below this value, communication may exist, but
there will be an increased number of lost packets. It is not recommended to install a keypad to a position that the indication is less than 20. For a safe conclusion about the signal at one point, the keypad
should take measurements at this point for 10-15 seconds in order to renew display 5-6 times. Thus
the user will be able to draw a conclusion about the mean value of signal strength at this point.
3.5. Resetting to factory default passwords
The main board of the panel contains 2 pins with the marking CODE RESET. Through these pins we
can reset the passwords to the factory defaults by following the procedure below:
1. Connect the cable SERVICE of the siren to a (-) on the panel.
2. Isolate the mains power supply and disconnect the battery.
3. Link the pins CODE RESET by placing the jumper at both pins.
4. Connect the mains power supply and the battery.
5. Remove the jumper when the display of the keyboard lights.
After this procedure the main master code is 1234 and the technician code is 9999 and all the user
codes are empty.
3.6. Programming via computer
The programming of the panel can be done easily by using the special computer software PC-468 that
is provided free by Olympia Electronics. A simple USB to mini-USB cable (BS-466/A keyboard) or a
USB to Type-B cable (connection to the panel's board) and a CD with the latest version of the program
is required. It is not recommended to connect the panel or keypad to the computer via a USB hub.
40 921468007_09_010
Page 41
WARNING! The latest version of the software PC-468 is available in the following web address:
http://www.olympia-electronics.gr
The panel or the keypad must not be connected to the computer during the software installation. The
PC-468 installation is done automatically by inserting the CD in the drive or by running the file BS468_setup_vx.x.xx, found in the installation CD. After installation ends, connect the USB cable to the
USB port of the BS-466/A keyboard or BS-468/A board in order to establish a connection with the
panel.
The first time we connect the keyboard or the panel to our PC, we have to wait for the drivers to be
installed properly. If we accidently open the PC program before the drivers' installation is finished, and
the communication indicator is red instead of green (see first picture on the next page) we must close
the PC program, unplug the USB cable and insert it again. After the drivers finish the installation procedure, we can start the software again.
When the program starts there are 2 options:
1) Online Operation (BS-468/A connected)
2) Offline Operation (New file creation)
Online Operation
First connect the mini-USB cable to a BS-466/A keyboard or the USB Type-B cable on the board. The
two modes of connection are shown in the above photos.
Launch the BS-468 program on the PC. After a short startup screen, we see the home screen. Com-
munication lights in the bottom left corner must be green. The bottom indicator is not permanently
green, but it flashes when the panel sends data to PC.

PC-468 initial screen
We press the connect button and the window bellow appears. After a while the current attached devices of the panel will appear. While the panel tries to enumerate the connected system peripherals,
the "OK" button is not active.
The picture bellow shows an example of a system that has 1 BS-466/A keyboard and the wireless
zones extension card BS-479.
Press "OK" to continue. The next window appears.
42 921468007_09_010
Page 43
In the lower left corner, the user type that is enabled can be found. Double-clicking on it will reset the
panel to a simple user level. This type of user is not able to program the table.
Depending on the level of access we have (technical or master user), we can make the corresponding
changes. To change the user type, we press the user icon in the main toolbar.
A window appears asking us to give a password. Depending on the code, the access level is different.
The factory setting for the technician code is (9 9 9 9), and for master code (1 2 3 4).
From now and on we can change or view all the settings of the panel, such as zones, passwords,
events, timers and outputs.
Be noted that depending on the password entered, only the corresponding level features can be altered.
If there is a wireless zone extension card plugged in, we press the wireless zone tab button
and the wireless zones window appears. Then we press "Refresh all" and we wait the
process to finish. If there are any wireless zones installed, they will be visible now (see next page's
screen).

"Panel" Window
In this window we can see and make changes on the panel settings. We can receive the settings from
the panel by pressing the button "Receive". This action is needed in case we have not pressed "Download All", as described on the previous page.
These changes can also be performed by the keypad. By using a PC there is a better overall picture
and changes are done quickly and easily. Additionally, by using the PC we have the opportunity to
synchronise time and date pressing the corresponding button.
If we want, for example, to change the "Entry time" delay and make it 40 seconds we press the up arrow next to the entry time. Now we can see that the field we have changed is highlighted green and
the time is 40sec. This means that we have made a change that is not yet permanent (Not sent to the
panel).
If we want to make the changes permanent we have to press "Send". A window showing the send
progress appears and it will disappear when the settings have been sent. After that, the entry time
field becomes white again.
In general, this is a standard procedure in any window. Whenever we perform some changes, the corresponding fields become green and we have to send these data to apply the changes to the panel.
In case we press "Scan extensions" or "Scan keypads", we have to wait 30 seconds and then we must
press "New" button on the toolbar. In the following window the new devices must be visible now.
"Zones" Window
In this window we can change and view each zone's properties (see picture on next page). By pressing the button "Receive", we can receive the information of all the zones. The user can also acquire
each zone's properties by single clicking the mouse on the field "Device type" of each zone (last column). If, for example, the user presses the cell of Line 8 and Column 9, the PC will ask the data for
that zone only.

Offline Connection
The PC program is operational even if a panel is not connected. Of course, the available functions are
limited. This feature helps the installer to prepare a system without being connected to a table.
New
With this option we are starting a new installation without any panel connected.
The red colour in the indicator to the down left bottom of the above screen reveals the connection absense between the panel and the PC. After we press the button "New", we see the following window:
We can choose whether our system will have a GSM or PSTN dialer, or if a wireless or wired zones
extension will be available. We can also choose the number of BS-466/A keypads.
By pressing any of the 3 buttons on the bottom of the window, we can choose the appropriate alarm
type.
The installer is responsible for the right choice of extensions of each panel type.
56 921468007_09_010
Page 57
If, for example, the "Wireless Extension" option is selected at the same time with a "BS-458" panel,
which does not support this function, the panel will not contain wireless zones because this feature
does not exist on BS-458 panels.
Also, if "BS-458" panel is selected, it is up to the installer to choose whether the specific panel has a
GSM extension.
After selecting the panel type, the home screen appears, where the desired modifications can be
made.
Finally, we can save table properties to a file.
Panel's Firmware Update
In case the panel is to be upgraded, its settings are lost. If we want to prevent this, we have to follow
the following procedure:
1) Receive All Settings
2) Save (of all data in .oaf file)
3) Firmware Upgrade (Ctrl-F1)
The firmware of BS-468/A can be updated through the program BS-468. From the menu, press
"HELP" "Firmware Update Ctrl-F1". In order to go on through the procedure, the user has to be
connected as "TECHNICIAN". The panel has to be connected to the PC through the USB port that is
present on the main panel board and NOT on the keypad BS-466/A.
The user is asked if he agrees with the upgrade. At this point, the version in which the table will be
upgraded is also mentioned. For the latest version of the board program, it is necessary to download
the latest version of the PC-468 program from the company's site.
During the next step the user will be asked to type the TECHNICIAN user password once again and
the upgrade procedure starts. A window box appears. If the message "Press any key to continue..."
comes out, then you have to press the "ENTER" key in the PC keyboard.
During upgrade procedure, the power supply to the panel and the connection to the PC should not be
interrupted.
When the procedure is finished, the user has to press "OK" at the dialogue box that appears and the
program shuts down automatically.
Continuing, it is essential that the USB has to be disconnected as well as the power supply and battery must stay unplugged for 30 seconds. After that time period connect the battery and power supply.
ATTENTION! For safety reasons, the user should not unplug the USB cable, while the PC
program is active. If, however, disconnection occurs, the panel for about 1 minute is programmed to stay in "TECHNICIAN" mode, to avoid data loss.
