5 FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

5.1 Operating modes.

Day Mode This 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 Modes When 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.

5.2 Entry/Exit modes.

Entry When 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.

Exit With 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.

6 ZONES

6.1 Engineer programming zones.

Entry / Exit This is a zone which allows limited-time access to the premises in order to set or unset the

system.

Access This 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.

Immediate This is a zone which will create an immediate alarm when the panel is set.

Omitted If 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 Zone This 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.

Soak Zone A soak zone is a zone which will not cause an alarm if triggered. However the activation will

be recorded in the event log.

Fire Zone If activated this will cause a pulsed bell and speaker activation in day or set modes. The fire

LED will illuminate on RKPII.

24 Hour Zone Will cause an instant alarm when the panel is in day or set modes.

Cleaner Zone If 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.

6.2 24 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.

Tamper If 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.

7 CONTROLS 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 Rearm After 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 test The 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 log The 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

Communicator The 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 E-

Shock Reset This 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.

8 INSTALLATION 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.

8.1 Plan View With Cover Removed.

8.2 Mounting.

1 Remove front cover.

2 Hang the control panel base onto the wall with the central mounting hole using one of the screws and plugs

provided.

3 If 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.

8.3 Mains connection.

1 The 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.

2 The mains connections at the power supply terminal block are coded as follows:

L : LIVE

: EARTH

N : NEUTRAL

8.4 Battery 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)

+ (Detectors, SAB and strobe current x 8hrs)

+ (Panel in alarm with external sounder x 20mins)

i.e. 0.174 X 7.67HRS

+ (0.12 + 0.05 + 0.15) X 8HRS

+ (0.40 + 0.35) X 0.33HRS

~ 4.1 Amp Hours

For example it is recommended that you use a battery of not less than 4.1 Ah, the nearest size above this being 6Ah.

8.4.1 Battery 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

RDOC298D/F Issue 1

8.5.5 End 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:

2K2 4K7

The fourth coloured band should be ignored.

Any unused zones should NOT be left open circuit. These should have a 2K2 resistor inserted:

8.5.6 Wiring to PIRs and other Sensors.

Wiring to one sensor Wiring to two or more sensors

TT Normally closed tamper terminals.

NC Normally closed alarm terminals.

8.5.7 Wiring to Door Contact.

Wiring to one door contact Wiring to two door or more contacts

*N.B. Up to ten sensors or door contacts are permitted on each zone*.

8.5.8 Wiring 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."

8.5.9 Wiring 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.

8.5.10 Wiring 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.

8.5.11 Wiring 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).

8.5.12 Wiring 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.

8.6 Powering up your panel

1 Switch on the mains supply then insert and connect the back-up battery.

2 A tone will be emitted and the tamper LED will flash on the RKP. Replace the front cover of the panel and enter

the Master User code twice (

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.

9.5 Miscellaneous Programming Options.

9.5.1 Tamper 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.

9.5.2 Tamper 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.

9.5.3 Personal 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

followed by to select "silent P.A.", or to select "Audible P.A."

Silent P.A. should only be used if a communicator is fitted.

RDOC298D/I Issue 1

9.5.4 Continued 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.

9.5.5 User / 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".

To program Engineer reset enter Engineer mode then press

followed by to select Engineer reset, or

to select user reset.

9.5.6 Timed Exit / Final set.

The control panel is factory programmed to suspend the exit timer if any of the zones are open. The panel will set when

the exit time has expired and all zones are closed. In some instances the exit timer may continue for some time after the

exit route has been cleared, requiring the user to wait for the entry / exit tone to stop. To eliminate the need for the user

to wait for the exit time to end the control panel can be programmed to set immediately after an Entry / Exit zone has closed.

This is known as "final set".

To do this enter Engineer mode, press

followed by to select final set , or to select timed exit.

Note: If final set is selected and any other zone remains open when the entry / exit zone closes the control panel will

not set. It will wait until all zones are closed. If a zone opens immediately after the entry / exit zone closes a warning tone

will be heard at the keypad and this tone will end when the zone is closed. The system will then set.

9.5.7 Communicator Set / Unset Polarity.

The Communicator set / unset output can be programmed to operate as switched positive (0 Volts to 12 Volts) or switched

negative (12 Volts to 0 Volts). The factory programmed setting is set positive / unset negative.

In Engineer mode enter

followed by to select set negative, or for set positive.

9.5.8 Communicators Output Polarity Settings, (P.A., Alarm and Fire).

The communicator outputs can be programmed to operate as set positive (0Volts to 12Volts) or set negative (12Volts

to 0Volts) . The factory programmed setting is switched negative.

In Engineer mode enter

followed by to select set negative, or to select set positive.

9.5.9 Setting the Panel when Mains fails.

Under normal operation the panel can be set if the mains supply is disconnected (providing the system is battery backed).

A flashing and tamper LED will be displayed if this occurs.

In Engineer mode enter

followed by not to allow the panel to be set if mains fails, or to allow mains

fail setting.

9.5.10 Setting The Panel With No Battery Or Low Battery .

Under normal operation the panel can be set if there is no battery or the battery voltage is low.

A flashing

and tamper LED will be displayed if the battery voltage is low or is not connected.

In Engineer mode enter

followed by not to allow the panel to be set with no battery / battery low, or

to allow setting.

9.5.11 Keyswitch Options.

Both keyswitch inputs can be programmed to arm the system in full set or part set C. Both inputs may be configured for

use with either momentary action (pulsed) or latching (fixed contact) switches.

These switches require the inputs A1 and A2 to be connected to 0 Volts. Input A1 is programmed as follows:

In Engineer mode press

followed by:

for full arm / disarm with a momentary switch.

for part set C arm / disarm with a momentary switch.

for full arm /disarm with a latching switch.

for part set C arm / disarm with a latching switch.

for push to set.

Input A2 is programmed as above with from engineer mode.

Input A1 is factory set to option 1.

Input A2 is factory set to option 2.

9.5.12 Remote LED Enable / Shock Reset Modes.

Remote LED enable (E-) mode allows the operation of detector LED's during Walk Test if the detectors have had their

LED disable links removed. Shock / Smoke sensor reset mode momentarily switches off the power to this terminal to reset

the sensors after an alarm activation.

In Engineer mode enter

followed by for shock / smoke sensor reset, or for remote LED enable.

9.6 Setting volume control.

This control is set by adjusting the volume pot as shown in fig 8.1. This control will affect the volume produced by any

extension speakers. The volume control will be overridden to provide full volume during an alarm activation.

9.7 Resetting the non volatile memory (NVM) .

9.7.1 Factory settings.

The following operation will reset all programming described in this section back to factory defaults. To reset the NVM first

disconnect the mains supply to the control panel. Then disconnect the backup battery negative terminal and short out the

two pins on the NVM reset link as shown in fig 8.1.

A shorting link is provided for this purpose. Next reconnect the mains supply. A short tone will be heard and the RKP

will display a

. Normal operation will continue when the jumper is removed.

Finally, reconnect the battery negative terminal.

9.8 Programme Mode Test Facilities.

9.8.1 Walk Test.

A walk test of the Octagon II control panel will give an audible and visual indication of zone, tamper and P.A. activations.

If any zones are active a high tone will be generated from the keypad. If all zones are inactive then a low tone will be heard.

All zone activations during a walk test will be entered into the event log.

To perform a walk test first enter Engineer mode then press

. To end walk test press to return to Engineer mode.

9.8.2 Bell Test.

The bell output can be activated as follows:
