ZONES CONFIGURATION

z Type of zone

Click on the lateral arrow and select the type of zone between the following options:

• Excluded
The zone is permanently disabled from the detection of alarms.

• Direct zone
The zone is enabled for the detection of alarms immediately after arming of the program it is included in without
taking into account any entry or exit time (the zone is ready after 20 seconds).

• Walk through
The zone is a mixed zone. It is normally direct and enabled upon arming, but behaves as a delayed zone if
another delayed zone is in prealarm (entry time running) or during the exit time. It is used if one detector covers
more than one zone, e.g. entrance and hall, situated along the entry/exit path in which the walk through zone is
the more distant one.

• Technical
The zone is always enabled (even if the control panel is disarmed). It is used for the detection of gas leaks, fire
alarms or as expansion to the tamper line.

• Delayed T1 (exit time 1)
The zone is not enabled for the detection of alarms upon arming of the program it is included in but only after
expiry of the programmed exit time 1.

• Delayed T2 (exit time 2)
The same as above but with different exit time.

• Hold-up zone
The zone is always enabled (even if the control panel is disarmed). It releases a silent alarm (neither acoustic nor
optical signaling) with maximum priority.

• Key zone
The zone permits arming/disarming of the program it is included in by mechanical key or push button connected
to it. The functioning mode of the key zone can be programmed as on/off or pulse (see also the option window).

• Tamper zone
The zone is direct and always enabled (even if the control panel is disarmed). It is equivalent to the ZT input and
releases zone tamper alarms.

z Alarm cycles

Program the alarm cycles by clicking on the corresponding item and choose the number of alarm cycles. It is

2.1.2 ZONE-FUNCTION ASSOCIATION

Open the zone configuration tables and select the Zone-Function window. On the screen is viewed:

The zone-function table permits the association of a series of functions to the zones:
z Siren

The checked zones cause the activation of the sirens in case of alarm.

z PGM

The checked zones cause the activation of the PGM logic output in case of alarm.

z By-pass

The checked zones associated are temporarily disabled from the detection of alarms, if the program they are
included in is armed and a by-pass code enabled for these zones (see also attributes of the codes) is entered.
The zones will be enabled again upon entering of the by-pass code or expiry of the by-pass time.

z Coinc.

The checked zones form a group of coinciding zones. Upon the detection of an alarm by one of the
coinciding zones the detector which has released the alarm is inhibited for 6 seconds and the control panel starts a
15 minutes timer. Two conditions are verified:

• If after 6 seconds but within 15 minutes another alarm is detected by the same zone, the alarm is released

(double knock).

• If within 15 minutes an alarm is detected by another coinciding zone the alarm is released.

z Chime

The checked zones are enabled for chime. Every time a chime zone is opened, if the program it is
included in is disarmed, the buzzer on the console and the logic outputs programmed are activated. The buzzer
on the console can be programmed so as to be activated for one 2 seconds beep upon every opening of the zone
input contact, or for a 3 seconds beep upon every opening which becomes continuous if the zone remains open (see
also the option window).

z Not excl.

The checked zones may in now way be excluded.

z COMMON

The checked zones form a group of common zones, i.e. they are included in several programs. As a consequence,
they are enabled for the detection of alarms only if all the programs they are included in are armed.

WARNING

Delayed zones may not be part of the group of coinciding zones.

z External GSM telephone communicator
z Ethernet switch
z Report codes
z Opening message-Vocabulary
z Voice messages and activation time of the remote controls

3.1 TELEPHONE PARAMETER CONFIGURATION

3.1.1 TELEPHONE CHANNELS AND STANDARD TELEPHONE PARAMETERS

The control panel is able to transmit alarm signaling or other data using either digital protocols or pre-recorded vocal
messages (composed of words of the vocabulary).
It can transmit and receive alarm signaling using the digital Tecnoalarm protocol or the most frequently used digital
protocols. Programming upload and download is possible using the Tecnoalarm protocol only.
The incorporated telephone interface provides 8 channels (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) individually programmable with a
description, a principal and a reserve telephone number, the transmission protocol and the ID code. Furthermore, it is
possible to determine the channels to be blocked on reception of the corresponding command, i.e. vocal, digital
Tecnoalarm, all, singularly or simultaneously.
The principal telephone number is always called first and the reserve one is only called in case there is no answer or if
the line is busy.
The user can block the telephone channels by clicking on the * key of the telephone.
It is possible to define which channels are affected by the block.

Programming of telephone section Installer Manual - TP8-96 VIDEO

3-2

TELEPHONE CHANNELS

For each telephone channels it is possible to program the following
parameters:
z A...H

Description which identify the channel (max. 14 digits).

z Tel. no. 1

The principal telephone number that will always be called first
(max. 24 digits).

z Tel. no. 2

Reserve telephone number that will be called if there is no
answer to the principal number or the line is busy
(max. 24 digits).

z Format

The transmission protocole is identified by a 3-digits code. All
the channels are programmed by default with the digital
Tecnoalarm protocol (000 Tecno).
By clicking on Format, the beside image is viewed.

z ID

The identification code is a code with 2 to 6 digits which
permits the connection of the control panel to different
monitoring stations (requiring ID codes of different length), i.e. a
monitoring station can require the 1234 code while another
monitoring station may expect 223344.
Repeat the same procedures for each telephone channels to be
programmed.

CALL-BACK

The call-back numbers are indispensable for remote programming of the control panel. When the installer tries to
connect to the control panel via telephone line, the onboard telephone section interrupts the communication after an
initial data exchange and calls one of the call-back numbers (starting with the first one).
The numbers should correspond to the installer or monitoring station authorized for remote programming. This
mechanism has been developped as a protection of both the user and the installer against attempts at sabotage.
The first callback number is always called first. The second one is only called if the first call is unsuccessful (line busy
or no answer). If both calls are unsuccessful, another four attempts are made alternating the first and second callback
number.
z Call back

Description which identify the owner of the call bac numbers, i.e. installer (max. 14 digits)

z Tel. no. 1

The first call back number is always the first to be called (max. 15 digits).

z Tel. no. 2

The second call back number is called if there is no answer to the principal number or the line is busy
(max. 15 digits).

z Format

The protocol for callback communications is unchangeable, i.e. digital Tecnoalarm format (00 Tecnoalarm).

z Disable redirection

The redirection of callback permits the execution of return calls to a telephone number different from those entered in
the telephone configuration window. Using the programming and monitoring software it is infact possible to enable
the redirection of callback and program a callback number in the software configuration (icon with PC and the 3 blue
keys).
Check the corresponding item to disable the function.

COMMUNICATOR BLOCK

The telephone channels are classified by the kind of protocol they use, i.e. the voice protocol, the special digital format
developped by Tecnoalarm or one of the most common digital formats.
The telephone section of the control panel can be set so as to block the specified channels upon reception of the
blocking command (* on the telephone dial).
According to programming, the communicator block affects either the vocal, digital or Tecnoalarm channels or all three
and this either singularly or altogether:

WARNING

It is compulsory to program the ID code of the channel.
All the channels have the same priority. The alarm are transmitted in chronological order starting with
channel A. The only exception is the hold-up alarm. If a transmission of another alarm is in course,
the active alarm call is interrupted to execute immediately the call for hold-up. At the end of the alarm
call, the previous call is restarted. From that onwards, the normal order continues.

TP8-96 VIDEO - Installer Manual Programming of telephone section

z Vocal

The communicator block affects only those channels transmitting voice messages.

• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active voice
channel is blocked.

• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycles of the active voice
channel as well as all the other voice channels programmed for the event are blocked.

z Digital

The communicator block affects only those channels using digital non-Tecnoalarm formats.

• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active digital
channel is blocked.

• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycles of the active digital
channel as well as all the other digital non-Tecnoalarm channels programmed for the event are blocked.

z Tecnoalarm

The communicator block affects only those channels using the digital Tecnoalarm format.

• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active digital
Tecnoalarm channel is blocked.

• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is nterrupted and the alarm call cycles of both the active
and all the other digital Tecnoalarm channels programmed for the event are blocked.

z All

The communicator block affects all the telephone channels independently from the protocol they use.

• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active channel
is blocked.

• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycles of the active and
all the other vocal and digital channels programmed for the event are blocked.

FUNCTIONS

z Check ringback

If enabled, the control panel waits for the ringback tone before it transmits a message.

z Opening message

This function is valid only for the voice protocols.
If the function is enabled, the control panel transmits the opening message before the alarm message. If the function

WARNING

The voice channel can be blocked only by pressing the key * or # on the telephone dial.
Any voice command is ignored.

WARNING

The digital non-Tecnoalarm protocols are to devide in single type and multiple type protocols.
In any case, both if a single type protocol is programmed or not, the other events are transmitted. No

event will be lost due to the communicator block!

Single type protocols transmit one event at a time, i.e. they close down the communication once the
event has been transmitted and recall to transmit the next one. The multiple type protocols transmit
the entire queue of events before they close down the communication.

3.2.1 TELEPHONE NUMBERS

Telephone numbers format

The telephone numbers items can contain max. 24 digits, inside of which it is possible to enter the telephone numbers
of a fixed network (PSTN) or of the mobile phone (GSM) or the network IP addresses.
z Telephone number Format of a telephone number.

No particular rule for the telephone number formation.

z IP address (ethernet network) Format of an IP address.

The IP address can be formed by 4 or 5 numerical items.
The last item can be finished with the letter G.

• The first 4 item indicate the IP address of the Tecnoalarm monitoring
station with which communicate.

• The fifth item indicates the access port (it is not compulsory to fill in this
item).

• The last letter G indicates to the control panel the GRPS communication
mode

The control panel can count the IP addresses using either the internal switch
connected to the Ethernet network or the GSM module in GPRS mode.

Alarm call cycle

The principal number 1 (tel 1) is called first. In case there is no answer or the line is busy, the reserve number (tel 2) is
called. If there is no answer to both numbers, the system passes to the next channel associated to the same event.
For each channel, 4 attempts are executed with either number.

TP8-96 VIDEO - Installer Manual Programming of telephone section

3-15

Priority

All the channels have the same priority. Each alarm call cycle starts with channel A. The only exception is the hold-up
alarm. If an alarm is being transmitted, the active alarm call cycle is interrupted and the alarm call cycle for the hold-up
alarm is started immediatly. At the end of the alarm call cycle, the previous cycle is restarted. Henceforward, the
normal order continues. The call-back has no priority and can be interrupted by any alarm call cycle.

3.2.2 PROTOCOLS

The communication protocols of the control panel are divided into vocal, digital and Tecnoalarm digital protocols.
The telephone channels of the control panel support the PSTN, GSM and Ethernet vectors. In addition to the
integrated GSM interface, the control panel manages the GSM telephone communicator connected via serial bus
(TECNOCELL).
Each protocol has a number code.
The protocols are classified as:

z Primary transmitted by the GSM module of the control panel
z Secondary transmitted by the external GSM telephone communicator
z Backup transmitted by the GSM module of the control panel

If the integrated GSM module fails, the alarm is transmitted by the external GSM telephone
communicator.

z Ethernet transmitted by the Ethernet switch of the control panel
In the tables, the protocols are divided by categories (digital, Tecnoalarm, vocal) and, for each of them the name, the

number code and the classification (primary, backup, secondary, Ethernet) as well as the transmission mode are
indicated.

3.2.3 COMMUNICATOR BLOCK

The alarm call cycle can be interrupted. The recipients of the calls, users or automatic alarm reception devices, can
block the channel with specific commands.
The communicator block distinguishes: vocals, digitals and Tecnoalarm protocols. It is selective for each category of
protocols. It can act on the single or on all of the channels associated to the event.

Communicator block of the digital and Tecnoalarm channels

After reception of the event, the monitoring station automatically sends the communicator block command to the control
panel.

Communicator block of the vocal channels

During the conversation, after listening to the alarm message, the user can block the channel by presing the * or #
key on the phone.

3.2.4 AIRTIME REQUEST

If the GSM telephone communicators use prepaid SIM cards, it is necessary to verify the remaining credit once in a
while.

GSM module

Program the parameters for the airtime request according to the service provider used. The airtime request SMS can be
sent at any time.

Tecnocell

The external GSM telephone communicator does not need any programming. The airtime request SMS can be sent at
any time.

3.2.5 CALL-BACK

Call-back mode

z Standard call-back

The monitoring station calls the control panel which recognizes that the call is arrived from a Tecnoalarm monitoring
station and accepts the communication. During the communication the ID code and the control panel model are
controled. The control panel closes the communication and calls the monitoring station according to the
programmed parameters.
Example:
1 Call-back request by centro The monitoring station calls the control panel on the PSTN line using a DTMF

format.

2 Call-back by TP8-96 VIDEO The control panel, through the GSM interface, receives the request of a

call-back from the monitoring station.
The control panel exchanges the ID data (call-back no. and format) with the
monitoring station, then closes the communication.

 call back format 000 Tecno Standard
 the call-back number/IP address

Then it calls the monitoring station back.

3 Call-back reception by centro The monitoring station receives the call on the PSTN line in a DTMF

format (Tecno Standard).

z Call-back redirection

This function is only available if the Disable redirection option is not enabled.
In this case, the device is requested indicates to call a different telephone number than the call-back numbers
programmed. The control panel calls this number maintaining the programmed communication format (see above
scheme).

If no number has been programmed, SMS commands are accepted from
any telephone number.

Composition of the message

The message is composed of 2 to 3 elements: password (if programmed), remote control and command.

z Blank spaces Each of the three elements (words) provides precise information to the

control panel. This is why they must be clearly distinguished by one blank
space each.

z Password (if programmed) The password must exactly correspond to the programmed one. Pay

attention to the capital and small letters.
The first letter is always an upper-case letter because the password is the
first word of the message.

z Remote control The remote control can be written as a number or name.

The max. length of the name is 16 digits (match case irrelevant)

z Command • ON for activation of the remote control.

• OFF for deactivation of the remote control.

• Nothing for status polling
The ON and OFF commands can be written both with capital and lower
case letters.

Answer of the control panel

When the control panel receives the SMS message, it checks the password and telephone number as well as the
remote control and, if all three are correct, it returns an SMS message composed of the heading of the SMS message
(as it has been programmed in the GSM configuration table), the name or the remote control number as well as its
status.
If either the password or the telephone number are incorrect, there will be no answer.
If the remote control number or its name are incorrect, the control panel returns an error message.

the owner of the system

z Code

The code value is the numerical value associated to the
code and to be entered for initiation of the function
programmed (e.g. 23668).
The maximum length of the code depends on what has
been programmed in the item Code length.

z Type, i.e. the function that is initiated upon entering of the

code (arming/disarming or by-pass)

z Code length

The code length is relevant for all the codes of the system.
The control panel accepts 4 to 6-digits codes. The default
code length is 5 digits.

CODE-PROGRAMS ASSOCIATION

The code will only be enabled to act on (arm/disarm or partset)
the associated programs (1 to 8).

Permits the constant control of theRS485 serial bus where the devices which composed the system are connected.
By clicking on the above icon, on the screen is viewed :

The RS485 bus analysis table permits the communication monitoring in order to verify coherence and exactitude of the
datas.
The RS485 bus analysis table permits:

z Viewing of the device addresses
z Viewing of the total counter (TOT) and of the error counters (ERROR)
z Signaling of the communication errors
z Selection of the group to be controlled

DIP

Permits viewing of the device addresses.

TOT

Each communication is analized, totalized and recorded by the TOT total
counter.

ERROR

Each communication considered invalid is recorded, therefore totalizes, into the
ERROR counter (i.e. communication errors).

SIGNALING

The RS485 serial bus analysis connects the TOT and the ERROR counters in
order to determine the data communication reliability between CPU and devices;
it calculates the percentage of errors and classify it using the signaling of a
traffic light. Signaling are the following:
Off signal = peripheral absent, connection absent or permanently

excluded
Green signal = reliable datas, i.e. insignificant error (less than 1%)
Yellow signal = percentage of error from 1 to 3%, i.e. negligible
Red signal = percentage of error highter than 3%, i.e. critical.
According to the beside example, the peripheral with the address 1 is
present on the installation and signals none error. Therefore the signal is green.
By contrast, the peripheral with the address 01 is not present on the
installation so the number of errors is equal to the number of communications.
As a result, the signal is red.
