1INTRODUCTION
The Octagon II is a full featured intruder alarm control panel, based around a microprocessor with 8 fully programmable
zones and 2 dedicated '24-hour' zones (Personal Attack alarm and a System-Tamper alarm.). It is operated via a 16 - key
remote keypad and has an arrangement of 3 LEDs and LED display to show the status of the system.
All features are fully programmable and there are three levels of access to the system :
Master User (user 1)factory default (1 2 3 4)
Limited User (user 2)factory default (5 6 7 8)(if enabled)
Cleaner Codefactory default (7 8 9 0)(if enabled)
Engineerfactory default (9 9 9 9)
The Master User code gives access to all settings and unsetting facilities and also allows the changing of code numbers
and testing of the system.
The Limited User code gives access to the basic functions needed for everyday setting and unsetting the system.
The Cleaner code can only set and unset the panel in programmed areas.
The Engineer code gives total access to the system programming during day mode.
2SAFETY
Mains: The mains supply to the control panel is connected via a 3 way terminal block.
**This equipment is not suitable for location in bathrooms or damp conditions. Always remove / isolate mains before
carrying out work on the panel. The mains installation should be carried out in accordance with current IEE regulations
by a technically competent person**.

Day ModeThis is the state of the panel when unset (not armed). Personal Attack and Tamper inputs, however,
remain active 24 hours a day. (These are referred to as 24 hour zones). Day mode is identified by the
U (unset) on the LED display.
Set ModesWhen the panel is set (armed) an activation of any Access, Immediate or 24 hour zone will cause an
alarm condition. When an alarm is generated the internal and external sounders will operate for the
length of time programmed. The strobe will also be activated and will continue to operate after the bell
time hasexpired, until the panel is reset.
Fullset / Partset At the time of setting the control panel, any one of four set modes can be selected. i.e.
Full set: Whole system armed; nobody on premises.
Part set A:All Part sets may be.
Part set B:configured as fast set.
Part set C:timed exit or night set.
5.2Entry/Exit modes.
EntryWhen the panel is set and an entry zone is triggered the entry timer will begin to count down.
During this period an entry tone (single repeated bleep) will be produced by the internal
sounder. The tone will change to a dual repeated bleep when half the entry time has been
reached. (two ply).
Any zones which are programmed as Access zones will be ignored. If the user code is entered
before the end of the count down period the panel will return to day mode. If the timer is allowed
to elapse before the user code is entered the panel will go into an alarm state. In this case the
system needs to be Unset then reset.
ExitWith the panel in day mode if a user code is entered the exit timer will begin. If all the Immediate
zones are clear, then the exit tone will be heard. Leave the protected area by the predetermined
exit route.
As you trigger access and entry / exit zones the tone will change to a high tone. When all the
zones are clear, the exit tone will continue again until the end of the time-out period and the
panel will arm. If the exit time is reached before all access and entry / exit zones are clear a
warbling tone will be heard. The panel will arm when the entry / exit zone is clear.
6ZONES
6.1Engineer programming zones.
Entry / ExitThis is a zone which allows limited-time access to the premises in order to set or unset the
system.
AccessThis is a zone which, on setting the panel, allows access to the Entry / Exit zone. However, if
the panel is set and an Access zone is triggered before an Entry / Exit zone then an alarm will
be generated immediately.
ImmediateThis is a zone which will create an immediate alarm when the panel is set.
OmittedIf a zone is programmed as an Omitted zone by the Engineer, then it is ignored by the panel.
Zone 9 omits the RKP remote zone. It also allows the user to continue to use the alarm system
even if a fault has been discovered on one or more zones. Omitted zones are only programmable
for part set modes.
Non Omitable ZoneThis is a zone that is programmed by the engineer. A zone programmed as a non omittable
zone may not be omitted by the user. This enables vital areas to be protected at all times.
6
Soak ZoneA soak zone is a zone which will not cause an alarm if triggered. However the activation will
be recorded in the event log.
Fire ZoneIf activated this will cause a pulsed bell and speaker activation in day or set modes. The fire
LED will illuminate on RKPII.
24 Hour ZoneWill cause an instant alarm when the panel is in day or set modes.
Cleaner ZoneIf the panel is disarmed using the cleaner code these zones will remain active and cause an
alarm if violated. The cleaner cannot reset the system after an alarm activation.
Push to set.A push to set zone will force the entry / exit timer to terminate to prevent the user from having
to wait for the entry / exit period to finish.
6.224 Hour zones.
Personal Attack Triggering of the Personal Attack (P.A.) zone will always cause a full alarm activation regardless of
whether or not the panel is set. If silent P.A. is programmed, only the communicator will be activated.
Tamper (Day Mode)If a tamper fault is present in day mode a high tone will be heard. When a user code is entered the
tamper LED will illuminate and the zone causing the tamper will be shown on the LED display If the
tamper was caused by activation of the universal tamper zone then only the tamper LED will illuminate.
If a user code is not entered before the bell time expires the internal speaker and bell will turn off and
the system will rearm.
Tamper (Set Mode) If the panel has been set and a tamper fault occurs the system will go into full alarm condition. When
a user code is entered the tamper LED will illuminate and the zone violated will be displayed . After the
bell time has expired any further tamper faults will also cause alarm activation. The strobe will remain
on until the panel is unset. A tamper alarm will also occur if the correct user code is not entered after
three attempts.
TamperIf the code is not entered successfully after the third attempt, the keypad will not accept anymore entries
for 3.5 mins and a tamper will be generated.
EXPORT ONLY
Tamper LED Reset The tamper LED will remain on after a zone tamper, or system tamper. This can only be reset by entering
engineer mode.
7CONTROLS AND FUNCTIONS
Volume Control This is only accessible when the front cover has been removed and will only affect the volume of any
extension speakers. In an alarm condition the volume control will be overridden and full volume will be
heard. The remote keypads also have their own separate volume controls.
Latch C+The latch facility is designed to be used with intruder detectors fitted with a latch memory. This feature
is very useful when more than one detector has to be wired to a particular zone as it will show which
detectors were triggered if an alarm has occurred.
If there has been an alarm and latch memory was used, then when the panel is unset an LED indication
will be given at the detectors which were triggered. Resetting of latch memory requires the panel to be
unset.
Auto RearmAfter an alarm the panel will automatically reset itself when the bell timer has expired. Any zones which
are still not clear after the bell time has expired will be omitted automatically.
Walk testThe walk test function verifies that all the intruder detectors on the alarm system are functioning correctly.
When the walk test mode is enabled any activated zone will cause a chime and the LED display will
indicate the relevant zone. In engineer walk test the alarm zones, tamper zones and personal attack
zone activations will be recorded in the event log.
Event logThe Octagon II panel incorporates a memory log of the last 100 events and is accessible in engineer
and user mode. It will record panel setting personal attack alarms and will show which tamper and
alarm zones have been triggered. Soak zones, user omitted zones and zones activated by the engineer
walk test will also be displayed. The event log may be cleared in by the User if he is permitted to do so
by the engineer. All zone activations after an alarm are recorded in the log.
Digital
CommunicatorThe Octagon II has four communicator outputs. These are set / unset, P.A. fire and alarm. The outputs
can be configured in engineer mode to activate from 12V to 0V or 0V to 12 V. A line fail input gives
a visual indication to the status of the communicator on the remote keypad.
Keyswitch inputs Two Keyswitch inputs are available and these may be used for full setting and part setting the system.
LED Enable EShock ResetThis is a dual purpose output which may be programmed as detector test LED enable or shock reset.
If configured as LED enable, during walk test the LED's will operate even if it has been disabled in the
sensor. If configured as shock reset, after an alarm activation the power will be momentarily switched
off to reset shock / smoke detectors.

8INSTALLATION AND WIRING
Before beginning any installation work read through this section carefully. Plan out the various areas and degrees of
protection required from each zone. It is important to decide which type each zone should be if part sets are to be used.
Work out the cable routes avoiding mains cabling and consider the chosen position for the control panel and its main
supply.
8.1Plan View With Cover Removed.

8.2Mounting.
1Remove front cover.
2Hang the control panel base onto the wall with the central mounting hole using one of the screws and plugs
provided.
3If possible use a spirit level or some other means to position the control panel squarely then drill the remaining
holes into the wall to locate the screws and plugs.
8.3Mains connection.
1The mains supply connector should be carefully wired to an ac mains supply using a suitably rated 3 core cable
with a current carrying capacity of not less than 5 Amps. It should be connected to a fused spur with a fuse rating
of not more than 2 Amps.
2The mains connections at the power supply terminal block are coded as follows:
L:LIVE
:EARTH
N:NEUTRAL
8.4Battery capacity.
It is recommended that the rechargeable battery used with the Octagon II control panel should be capable of powering
the alarm system for a minimum of 8 hours, and that this time period include 20 minutes of bell/strobe operation.
The minimum battery capacity should be calculated from the current consumption of the individual system components.
A typical example is shown below:
Non alarm current for control panel ( 7 hrs 40 min):174mA (0.174 A)
Steady state current for detectors:120mA (0.12 A)
(e.g. 8 x 15mA for 8 hours -Pyronix PIRS)
Typical stand-by current for external sounder:50mA (0.05 A)
(e.g. Self Actuating Bell for 8 hours)
Typical on state current for external:350mA (0.35 A)
sounder (20 mins)
Alarm state current for control panel (20 mins):140mA (0.140 A)
Typical current for external strobe (8 hours):150mA (0.150 A)
Total battery capacity= (Panel stand-by current x 7hrs 40min)
For example it is recommended that you use a battery of not less than 4.1 Ah, the nearest size above this being 6Ah.
8.4.1Battery Charging.
This Octagon II has a fast battery charge circuit capable of recharging a 6Ah battery in 12 hours
NB: 1) Do not allow any cables or wiring to touch the battery charge resistor ( See diagram on Page 9 )
High resistor temperature during battery charging will damage insulation to wires touching this resistor, resulting in
incorrect operation of the control panel.
NB: 2) Do not use a battery of less than 2.8Ah capacity

8.5.5End of line resistors.
The Octagon II panel uses resistors on all of its end of Line zones. Two resistor values are used, these are 2K2 and a 4K7.
To identify the two resistors, coloured bands on the body are used. These are has follows:
2K24K7
The fourth coloured band should be ignored.
Any unused zones should NOT be left open circuit. These should have a 2K2 resistor inserted:
8.5.6Wiring to PIRs and other Sensors.
Wiring to one sensorWiring to two or more sensors
Wiring to one door contactWiring to two door or more contacts
12
*N.B. Up to ten sensors or door contacts are permitted on each zone*.
8.5.8Wiring To A Personal Attack Button.
Any number of P.A. buttons may be used.
"NB. If the P.A. terminal is not used it must be linked out with a 2K2 resistor."
8.5.9Wiring To Rkp Remote Zone.
The RKP remote Zone is End Of Line so must be wired as in diagrams 8.5.6 Sensors / 8.5.7 Door Contacts/ 8.5.8 P.A.
buttons. If the RKP remote zone is not used it must be linked out with 2K2 resistor.
The default for the zone is Entry / Exit.
8.5.10Wiring the Keyswitch inputs A1 / A2.
The Octagon II PCB has two keyswitch inputs labelled A1 and A2.
The keyswitch inputs will operate the panel if they are connected to the auxiliary negative terminal.
8.5.11Wiring the communicator outputs / inputs.
The communicator outputs can be programmed to set positive (12v) or set negative (0v). The outputs provide sufficient
current to activate communicator inputs without the use of relays etc. The communicator line fail input (LNF) operates when
connected to ground (0v).
8.5.12Wiring the Latch output (C+).
The latch (C+) output is used to disable a detectors LED. When the panel is armed the latch sets positive (12v) disabling
the LED.
When the panel is unset the latch line toggles resetting the detectors LED. All detectors must be wired in series to the latch
output.
8.5.13 Wiring the LED enable E- / shock reset output.
LED Enable E-.
If a detectors E- terminal has been connected to the E- terminal in the panel, the detectors LED will operate during walk
test even if the detectors LED disable link has been removed. All detectors E- terminals must be wired in series back to
the panel.
Shock sensor reset.
The power supply negative terminal on the shock sensor is connected to the shock sensor reset terminal.
After an activation the power supply is interrupted momentarily to reset the sensors.
8.6Powering up your panel
1Switch on the mains supply then insert and connect the back-up battery.

:
N.B. The function selected applies to all RKP's wired to the Octagon II control panel. If more than one RKP is used then
all remote zones will be programmed together by the above sequence.
9.5Miscellaneous Programming Options.
9.5.1Tamper Alarm.
Activation of a tamper circuit whilst the control panel is in day mode will normally only activate the extension speakers.
It is possible to program the Octagon II to also activate the external sirens when a tamper alarm is generated in day mode.
This is done as follows:
In Engineer mode enter
followed by to enable external sirens as above, or to disable external sirens
as above.
9.5.2Tamper Activation.
As for "Tamper alarm" given above the digital communicator alarm output will not normally be triggered following activation
of a tamper circuit in day mode. It is possible to program the Octagon II to activate the communicator alarm output as follows:
In Engineer mode enter
followed by to enable the communicator as above, or to disable the
communicator as above.
9.5.3Personal Attack (P.A.) Alarm.
Activation of the P.A. zone whether in day mode or any of the four set modes will activate the communicator output and
any extension speakers, together with the external siren. The Octagon II control panel can be programmed to operate the
communicator output ONLY, giving a "silent P.A.". Programming is as follows.
In Engineer mode enter
Silent P.A. should only be used if a communicator is fitted.
RDOC298D/I Issue 1
followed by to select "silent P.A.", or to select "Audible P.A."
17
9.5.4Continued Speaker Activation
The extension speaker and external siren outputs will normally be silenced at the end of the preprogrammed "bell time".
However, the extension speaker can be programmed to continue until the control panel is disarmed. For continued speaker
operation enter engineer mode, followed by
then for continued speaker operation, or for timed speaker
operation.
9.5.5User / Engineer Reset.
The Octagon II control panel is factory set to "user reset". This means that the users can rearm the system after an alarm
has been generated. It is however possible to prevent the user from operating the system after an alarm activation. In this
instance the Engineer code must be entered before the control panel can be set again.
This is known as "Engineer reset".
