3.4 Compliance with INCERT Approvals
Software Requirements
Selecting Belgium (*) under Region implements local or national requirements which supercede
EN50131 requirements.
Selecting Grade 2 or Grade 3 selects EN50131 compliance plus any additional INCERT requirements:
l Only an engineer can restore a tamper. For INCERT, this applies across all grades.
This is normally only a requirement for Grade III En50131.
l A tamper on an Inhibited/Isolated zone must be sent to an ARC and displayed to the user.
For INCERT, tampers are processed for isolated zones. On all other standard variations,
tampers are ignored on isolated zones.
l User PIN codes must be defined with more than 4 digits.

3.5 PD 6662:2010 Conformance Guidelines
This document contains all the criteria for the installation, and commissioning and maintenance of the SPC
System to enable it to conform to the PD 6662:2010 Standard.
3.5.1 Product scope
The scope of this document is aimed at the following components of the SPC system:
SPC4320.320-L1 Grade2 Controller
SPC5320.320-L1 Grade2 Controller
SPC5330.320-L1 Grade3 Controller
SPCE652.100Expander, 8Inputs/2Outputs
SPCP332.300 Smart PSU with I/O Expander
SPCP355.300Smart PSU with 8Inputs/2Outputs Expander
SPC4xxx/5xxx/6xxx – Installation & Configuration ManualDirectives and standards
c) Protective switch (that is, door contact) fitted to the final exit door of the alarmed premises or
area
Connect the switch to the SPC System as follows:
The contact is fitted to the final exit door and is connected to an ENTRY/EXIT zone with a ‘Final Exit‘
attribute.
See Zone types on page385 and Zone attributes on page390.
A misoperation signal is possible using the alarm abort feature. This is enabled by default.
See Options on page113 (Keypad) and Options on page255 (Browser).
d) Digital key
Not supported by SPC.
e) In conjunction with an ARC
This method of setting is supported by using SPC COM XT or other third party ARC software using EDP
commands.
3.5.3.2 Methods of completion of unsetting (BS 8243:2010 - Clause 6.4)
Unsetting methods are complied with as follows:
6.4.1 For all the unsetting methods in the SPC system there is an audible indication to the user that the
system has been unset successfully. This is in the form of a beep sequence from the CIE.
6.4.2 Prevention of entry to the supervised premises before the intruder alarm system (IAS) is
unset:
a) Unlocking the initial entry door causes the IAS to be unset;
Compliance by SPC if KEYARM zone type is used with the UNSET attribute only. This zone type must
not be used for setting.
b) Unsetting the IAS by the user before entering the supervised premises causes or permits the initial entry
door to be unlocked.
Compliance by SPC by unsetting using an access card reader on an entry reader with the UNSET option,
or an input from a third party access system to a KEYARM zone with an UNSET attribute.
6.4.3 Prevention of entry to the supervised premises before all means of intruder alarm
confirmation have been disabled:
a) Unlocking the initial entry door causes all means of confirmation to be disabled
Operation not permitted by SPC.
b) Disabling all means of confirmation by the user before entering the supervised premises causes or
permits the initial entry door to be unlocked
Operation not permitted by SPC.
6.4.4 Opening the initial entry door disables all means of intruder alarm confirmation
Operation not permitted by SPC.
6.4.5 Completion of unsetting using a digital key
a) Operation of a digital key before entering the supervised premises (for example, via radio)
SPC satisfies this clause when the installer installs a PACE reader (for example, SPCK421) outside the
premises.
b) Operation of a digital key after entering the supervised premises from a location as near as practicable
to the initial entry door.
This functionality is provided by use of a PACE reader (for example, SPCK421) near the entry door of a
premises.
See Zone types on page385 and Zone attributes on page390.
WARNING: Your attention is drawn to the fact that by allowing this method of unsetting, if an
intruder succeeds in forcing the initial entry door, the police will not be called, regardless of the
intruder’s further progress through the premises.
This method of unsetting the intruder alarm system might be unacceptable to your insurers.
6.4.6 Unsetting in conjunction with an alarm receiving centre (ARC)
Compliance by SPC using third party ARC software. Indication external to the building must be
provided by means of a timed buzzer/strobe, etc., that will operate on a system unset for a timed
period, for example, 30 seconds.
See Timers on page117.
3.5.4 Configuration requirements for PD 6662:2010 conformance
Recommendations for the recording of remotely notified alarm conditions (BS 8243:2010 Annex G.1 and G.2)
Alarm conditions can be categorised for analysis in accordance with Annex G if the SPC system is
configured so that the entry timer is less than 30 seconds, and the dialer delay is set to 30 seconds.
See the following sections:
l Areas on page121
l Adding/Editing an area on page273
l Timers on page117
Requirements for systems using dedicated alarm paths (BS EN 50136-1-2, 1998)
The SPC system should be configured to do an automated test call to the ARC.
The SPC system should be configured with a 'Fail to Communicate‘output.
See the following section:
l Adding/Editing an ARC using SIA or CID on page329
Requirements for equipment used in systems with digital communicators using PSTN (BS EN
50136-2-2, 1998)
Fault Output
The SPC system should be configured with a 'Fail to Communicate‘output.
See the following sections:
l Outputs on page153 (Keypad)
l Configuring controller inputs and outputs on page231 (Browser)
l Adding/Editing an ARC using SIA or CID on page329
Retransmission Attempts
Retransmission attempts (Dial Attempts) are configured in this manual:
l Adding/Editing an ARC using SIA or CID on page329
l Editing EDP settings on page339
A minimum of 1 and a maximum of 12 retransmissions are allowed.
Intrusion and hold-up - System design (DD CLC TS 50131-7, 2008)
Setting and unsetting
SPC system is configurable in such a way that the setting is completed by 'Final Exit'.
It is possible to configure the SPC so that a WD (Warning Device) is activated momentarily on setting.
SPC4xxx/5xxx/6xxx – Installation & Configuration ManualDirectives and standards
See the following sections:
l Timers on page117
l Zone attributes on page390
l Outputs on page153 (Keypad)
l Editing an output on page233 (Browser)
Intrusion and confirmed hold-up alarm (BS8243:2010 Designation of hold-up alarm (HUA) signals
for sequential confirmation)
SPC system is configurable in such a way that the following scenarios, when triggered more than two
minutes apart from any hold-up zone or hold-up device (HD), will report a confirmed hold-up alarm event
(HV for SIA and 129 for CID) to the CIE:
l two hold-up zone activations
l a hold-up zone and a panic zone activation
If a hold-up zone and a tamper zone or a panic zone and a tamper zone activation occurs within the two
minute period, this will also send a confirmed hold-up alarm event.
A confirmed hold-up will not require an engineer restore even if engineer restore is enabled. A confirmed
hold-up event is logged in the system log.
3.5.5 Additional commissioning requirements for PD 6662:2010 conformance
Information to be included in the system design proposal and as-fitted document (BS 8243:2010 Annex F)
l During the installation, configuration and commissioning of an SPC system, the installer must
adhere to the following guidelines as required in the above annex:
l It is recommended that dual paths are used for signalling which are supported in the SPC system
using GSM, PSTN and Ethernet options.
l The SPC system must be installed and configured to provide an effective confirmation facility. Any
exceptions to this should be outlined in the ‘As Fitted’ document.
l Combinations and sequences which contribute to a confirmed alarm should be clearly notified to the
end user.
l The intrusion confirmation time should be clearly notified to the end user.
l Methods of completion of setting and unsetting methods should be clearly described to the end user
as detailed in this document.
l Ensure written arrangements are supplied to the end user in the event of a lock failure.
It is recommended that the enclosed PD 6662:2010 label is affixed in an appropriate position on the
inside of the SPC housing beside the product type label.
