INTRODUCTION

Overview

Omnia is an extremely powerful Control Panel of the latest generation.This flexible system is more than able to meet the most demanding instal-

lation requirements.

Omnia may be expanded, programmed and operated with great ease.

There are 8 input Zones on the Control Panel, expandable to 80, and 4

outputs on the basic board, expandable to 36.

Areas Omnia can manage 8 Areas, a feature which gives flexibility to system par-titioning and shared management. The 8 Areas may be armed or disarmed

individually or as groups by means of Electronic keys, Codes or Control-panel inputs. It is possible to make Areas dependent on one another, for

automatic management of the "Common Areas",

Events and

actionsInteractions among Inputs, Outputs and Telephone-dialler actions, whethervoice or digital, may be programmed according to requirements; in this

way, the installer is ensured exceptional operational flexibility.

The Omnia Control Panel can manage 443 events, the installer may select

the actions the Control Panel must perform for each event.

There are three basic actions: actions on outputs, actions on digital dialler

and actions on voice dialler.This resourceful approach to security solutions makes Omnia adaptable to

the most diverse needs. Moreover, factory programming permits install-and-go solutions for fast installation.

Telephone

funct ions

The telephone dialler manages up to 32 telephone numbers.Four numbers may be assigned to the Pulse digital dialler, each with acustomer code and communication protocol, this makes communication

between several Central Stations possible.

A further four numbers may be assigned to the DTMF digital communica-

tor, each number may be assigned to a customer code and a communica-tion protocol.

4 telephone numbers are available for teleservice, these allow the Control

Panel to communicate with the installer modem, even when it has beentemporarily moved to different premises.

OmniaVOX The OmniaVOX board offers a telephone-dialler function, which can dial 16

telephone numbers. Up to 14 different Voice messages may be sent by theControl Panel, these messages must be recorded by the installer.

The OmniaVOX board provides the answering-machine function, one of

the 14 messages may be assigned to this function.

INTRODUCTION 7


8/158

Once in voice contact with the Control Panel (either after receiving a dialler

communication or when making a call to the Control Panel, which in turn isanswering with a recorded message), it is possible to perform many impor-

tant actions such as: Listen-in, Two-way conversation, Input status inquiry

with voice answer from the Control Panel, remote ON/OFF control of sys-tem devices, area arming/disarming, alarm reset, call block and so forth.

All these operations are made possible by entering a secret code whichmay be invalidated, if necessary, soon after use.

Programming A powerful management software in Windowsenvironment, makes Con-trol panel programming extremely flexible, the software permits program-

ming and supervision of the Control Panel, by either connecting to the

RS232 interface or to teleservice.

The Control Panel may be programmed from the Keypads, thus, makingquick maintenance intervention possible.

Timer

programming

The optional Timer-programmer board provides a wide range of functions

for automatic management of the system and permits Area arming/disarm-ing on a daily/weekly basis. 8 fully independent daily timers are availablefor the management of all event types, furthermore, management of a par-

allel or serial printer is also provided for.

Omnia system

Basic Contro l

PanelThe standard system is provided with the Main unit and a Control Keypadand is available in two models:

Omnia/S Control Panel with 3 A switching power-supply.

Omnia Control Panel with 1.5 linear power-supply.This manual is valid for both models, however, the differences in the two

power supplies are explained in the following chapter.

Expanders Omnia can manage up to 16 input expanders, each equipped with 4 Zonesand a maximum of 8 output expanders, each with 4 open-collector type

outputs.

Control d evices These may be connected to the Control Panel by means of up to 16 elec-

tronic-key readers, and up to 8-LCD Keypads.

Omnia Vox This is an optional board for voice call management and telearming func-tions.

Timer

programmer

This is an optional board for automatic management of the systems andprinter interface.

Management

SoftwareThe management software in Windowsenvironment will prove to be anindispensable tool in achieving the full capacity of the Omnia system. In

fact, the software makes it possible to carry out Control Panel program-ming, manage a complete customer file, and also supervise the ControlPanel in real time.

OmniaMod

modem

By using the specific OmniaMod modem, the same software may be usedfor the management of both manual and automatic teleservice connec-

tions, in this way, it is always possible to have a fully updated Customer-

file. With the V2 modem version, it is possible to receive Central-Stationcalls for real-time information on events occurring on the systems under

supervision.

Remote po wer

stationA 5 A capacity power-station is available for connection to the bus, thissupplies the required voltage to the remote devices during mains failure.

The power station is completely controlled by the Control Panel, which

manages the events generated by the remote power station (low or ineffi-cient battery, mains failure); two devices may be connected to the bus.

INSTALLATION

Installation

Before installing the security system devices, it is advisable to plan the lay-out and lay the necessary connection cables.

Main uni t The Main unit must be installed in a protected, and if possible, hidden

place. The chosen position must be within reach of the connection cablesof the other security system devices, the mains voltage supply (including

the earth connection) and, if required, the telephone line.

A Drill the necessary holes for the installation of the Main unit, and the pull-off block, 3 and14 in the diagram.

B Pass the connection cables through the cable hole 11and fix the Main unitand the pull-off block in place.

+ Do not over tighten the screws, as this may damage the lugs on the pull-offblock.

C Install any supplementary boards (Omnia4IN, Omnia4OUT, OmniaVOX,OmniaTIMER, etc.) in the Main unit, as described in the relevant para-

graphs.

D Carry out the necessary connections, leaving the power supply connec-

tions to the last.

Control Keypad The Control Keypad should be positioned in a place that requires completecontrol of the security system.

+ The Keypad should be positioned at about 160 cm. from the ground, in or-der to allow full view of the display.

Recess Key

reader

The Key reader may be installed in a place where limited control of the se-

curity system is sufficient.

A Assign an identifier number to the Key reader, by means of the dipswitches

47, then carry out the connections on the terminal board 46.

B Fix the Key reader in place, in the same way as one would a household

light switch or electric socket.

ATTENTION For an installation that meets the Standard required,re-cess Key readers installed in places outside the protection of the se-curity system, must be equipped with a tamper device (see the

example in figure 10a).

Wall mounted

Key-readerWall mounted Key-readers (art. BPI3W) function in the exact same way asrecess Key-readers, however, wall mounted Key-readers have boxes for

wall mounting, whilst recess Key-readers require recess boxes. Wallmounted Key-readers are designed to allow the keypad and Key reader to

be mounted side by side.

Connection diagrams

The following pages contain the connection diagrams of the Omnia Main

unit, and all the necessary information on the BPI devices and variousother items of an Omnia security system.

In order to make the connections clear, each device group (BPI devices,

sensors, alarms devices etc.), is dealt with separately.

+ The connections should be made with shielded cable, one end of the cablemust be connected to ground and the other left free.

The examples shown are for reference only, as it would be impossible to il-

lustrate all the applications available.

Diagram

symbolsThe diagrams have been simplified to facilitate understanding.

The terminals for the input and open-collector-output zones can be either

Main unit or expander terminals.

The terminals are displayed one by one.

The terminals may not be in the exact same position on the actual board,differences may occur, as connection crossing in the diagram has been re-

duced to the minimum.

+ The negative terminals are indicated by the symbol on the Main unitmother board, and by the symbol on all other boards.

Figure 13 Connection example of 3 BPI devices to the bus.



35/158

BPI device connection

The Control Panel permits the following connections to the bus:

up to 8 control Keypads;

up to 16 electronic-key readers;

up to 16 input expanders;

up to 8 output expanders;

up to 2 power stations.

Electr ical

connect ions

The BPI devices are all connected to the bus in the same way; all devices

require parallel connection on terminals [+], [C], [R], [ ] of the communi-cation bus.

Double bus The communication bus is physically doubled, in fact the terminals relativeto the bus are (18-19-20-21 and 22-23-24-25). The two buses are pro-

tected by several fuses, in this way, a short-circuit on one bus does notdamage the other.

One bus must be used for the installation of outdoor BPI devices, and the

other for the remaining devices, in this way, any tamper attempt on the out-

side (signalled by the Control Panel), does not damage the functional ca-pacity of the other line of the bus.

Figure 13 illustrates the connection of 3 devices, which may be Keypads,key readers, input expanders, output expanders or power stations.

If the system provides for more than one device of the same type, these

must be given different addresses. This operation is called "device coding".

Device cod ing The BPI device coding is carried out by means of the dipswitches: 39 for

Keypads, 47for Key readers and 59for input and output expanders.

+ For power stations, see the manual provided.

The address is assigned according to the position of the dipswitches. Thefollowing table shows the 16 possible combinations.

Microswitch N.Address

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16

1 off off off off off off off off ON ON ON ON ON ON ON ON2 off off off off ON ON ON ON off off off off ON ON ON ON

3 off off ON ON off off ON ON off off ON ON off off ON ON

4 off ON off ON off ON off ON off ON off ON off ON off ON

+ The assigned addresses must be different for each device of the sametype. Although, devices of different types may have the same address.

+ A maximum of 8LCD Keypads and Output expanders may be con-nected to the bus. Dipswitch no.1 does not affect these devices.

+ It is not necessary to follow any particular order when assigning codes,however, all codes must be different.

INSTALLATION 35


36/158

Bus BPI length limitation

The voltage drops and stray capacitance caused by the BPI bus connec-tions of the Main unit, make length limitation necessary.

Proper functioning of the BPI devices is ensured by a supply voltage between

terminals [+] and [ ] higher or equal to 10 V otherwise, it is possible to:

increase the wire section that carries the power to the device (those wires

connecting terminals [+] and [ ] of the Main unit, terminals [+] and [ ] ofthe device) respectively;

restore supply by means of a power station;

limit the BPI device current absorption, by supplying the connected devices

by means of a Power station.

In all cases, due to the stray capacitance caused by the connection cable,a BPI device cannot be connected to the Main unit by a cable of more than

500 m, and the overall length of the cables connected to each BPI bus of

the Main unit must not be longer than 1,000 m.

Figure 14 Sensor connection to Normally Closed line.



37/158

Alarm sensor connection

Omnia has 8 Zones on the Main unit board, for the connection of sensors,

4 Zones on each input expander and 1 Zone on each Control Keypad. Thetotal number of Zones is: 8 + 4 x16 + 1 x 8 = 80.

The terminals corresponding to the input Zones are those labelled with [Ln]

(n is the zone number), each Zone has its own supply from the terminals

[+F] and [ ]. All these terminals are available on the Main unit, on the in-put and output expanders and on the Keypads.

+ Terminal [+F], which supplies power to the connected sensor, is not pre-sent on the Keypad; however, it is possible to use terminal [+] of the com-

munication bus power supply .

Each terminal may be connected to one or more sensors, although, it isadvisable to connect only one sensor to each terminal, in this way, the sen-

sor in alarm status is easily identified.

It is possible to connect sensors with a normally open alarm-switch, and

sensors with a normally closed alarm-switch. All the input Zones are pro-grammable as NC, NO, Balanced or Double balanced.

If Zones are to be used as Balanced or Double Balanced Zones , use the

10 K resistors provided.

If programming of the Zones as NC (Normally Closed) or NO (NormallyOpen) is required, balancing resistors are not necessary.

Figure 15 Sensor connection to Balanced line.

INSTALLATION 37


38/158

Double

balancing

By means of the double balancing mode, and by connecting 4 wires to the

sensors, it is possible to obtain information on both sensor alarm and tam-per. In this way, it is possible to identify the sensor signalling alarm.

The diagrams show the connections for the three balancing types (NC,

Balanced, Double Balanced), required for the connection of an alarm sen-sor to a Zone.

The sensor supply is protected by fuse 18, burnout of this fuse is shown bythe LED on the LCD Keypad.

+ The tamper-switch connection (terminals A.S.) is dealt with separately inthe Balanced tamper-line connection" paragraph.

Figure 16 Sensor connection to Double Balanced line.

Figure 17 Connection of three fire detectors.



39/158

Fire sensors

Omnia control panel is able to manage fire sensors, providing that thesecan operate with 12 V supply voltage and are equipped with an alarm re-

peat output (for example the BENTEL sensors RT101-102 or RF501).

For the connection of one or more fire sensors proceed as shown in fig-ure 17.

The fire sensor outputs should be connected to an Omnia Zone, pro-grammed as Fire. Sensors are supplied by terminal +F, whilst ground

should be taken from an Omnia output (in the example the auxiliary output

15 [OC1] is used), programmed as 20 seconds, monostable, NC. The out-put must be assigned to an event intended for fire sensor reset, for exam-

ple Control Panel Default or "Area Default".

+ Please remember that terminal 15 [OC1] can support a max. 1 A currentvalue.

Alarm-device connection

Alarm devices signal alarm conditions, typical alarm devices are self-pow-ered sirens, indoor sirens, telephone diallers and so forth.

These devices may be classified according to their activation mode in thefollowing way:

stand-alone safety devices, enabled by voltage failure on the specific ter-

minal; self-powered sirens belong to this category.

Positive alarm line devices, enabled by a positive (12 V) on the specific ter-

minal; indoor sirens usually belong to this category.

Negative alarm-line devices, enabled by ground on the specific terminal.

Balanced alarm-line device, enabled by the impedance offset on the spe-cific terminal.

Figure 18 Connection of self-powered siren and indoor siren.

INSTALLATION 39


40/158

Omnia is provided with terminals 8 [+A1] and 13 [+A2] for the connection

of two indoor sirens, and terminals 9 [+N1] and 14 [+N2] for the connectionof self-powered sirens (fig. 18).

The free-voltage exchanges of the two alarm relays (terminals 5, 6, 7 and

10, 11, 12) are for the connection of all types of signalling devices.

+ Although there are two alarm relays with relevant terminals, as described

above, Omnia also has a further 34 open-collector outputs (2 on themother board and 4 on each of the 8 connectible output expanders), each

of these may be programmed as an alarm output and may pilot a relay.

The diagram below illustrates a connection example of a self-powered si-

ren and an indoor siren, connected to the first alarm relay.

+ The connection of tamper switches (terminals [S] and [S1]), is dealt withseparately in the "Balanced tamper-line connection" paragraph.

Balanced tamper-line connection

Omnia is provided with a 24h balanced-type tamper line, for the connectionof the tamper switches on the security-system devices. Connection is to becarried out as follows (see fig.19):

Connect the tamper switches of the security system in series.

Connect one end of the series to terminal 27[ASB] and the other to termi-

nal 26[ ]; connect the balance resistor to the last device.

When making use of the tamper line, the information relevant to the tam-

pered device is not available. If this information is required, when connect-

ing sensors, use the Double Balancing mode or, a 24h zone for tamperdetection on other devices.

Figure 19 Connection of tamper switches.



41/158

Telephone-line connection

If the telephone communicator functions are used, the telephone line must

be connected to terminals 53, 54 [LE]. If the telephone line is shared withanother telephone, the latter must be connected to terminals 55, 56 [LI], inthis way Omnia always gives priority to the telephone device connected tothe [LI] terminals and commutes it only when necessary.

The ground [ ] terminal must be connected to the ground connector of theelectrical system, in order to protect the electronic card from surges thatmay come from the telephone line.

ATTENTION The safety protection of the telecommunication network

depends on the perfect condition of the entire ground protection.

Power-supply connection

The Omnia Control Panel is supplied by a mains voltage of 230 V / 50 Hzand by means of :

an integrated power supply on the electronic board of the OMNIA model;

a switching power supply located at the bottom of the OMNIA/S model box.

The mains supply wires must be connected to the terminals 23, whilst the

buffer battery must be connected to the connectors 24.

ATTENTION Connect the phase to terminal [L] (marked [F] in the

Omnia control panel) and connect terminal [ ] (marked [ ] in the

Omnia control panel) to ground. Please remember that all the territorialregulations in force must be respected.

As soon as power is supplied to the Main unit, the green LED , on thefront panel will switch ON, whereas, after the initial configuration stage the

red LEDs and will switch OFF.

+ The buffer battery should be connected before the mains voltage.

Figure 20 Telephone line connection diagram.

INSTALLATION 41


42/158

Auto

configurat ion

On first startup the Control Panel performs an Auto-configuration cycle.

During this cycle the Control Panel acquires the configuration of the de-vices connected to the bus. This becomes the basic configuration of the

Control Panel and may only be modified by the installer. This step lasts

about 15 seconds and is indicated by the flashing of the red LED .

At the end of this step, which is signalled by the following configuration on

the Keypad display , insert jumper 7(MEM) whichenables the non-volatile memory to store the programmed data even dur-

ing mains supply failure.

ATTENTION On startup the storage memory is completely down.About 1 hour is required to charge it to a level that will ensure storage

of the programmed data for 1 month of complete power supply failure

(both external supply from the mains network and from the auxiliarysupply, provided by the battery housed at the bottom of the Main unit

container). In order to charge the storage battery jumper 7 (MEM)mustbe connected.

+ There is no Open-Control-Panel alarm on startup, as this is disabled untilthe Control Panel cover is closed. Similarly, when quitting a programming

session, either via Keypad or local/remote PC connection, the Open-Con-

trol-Panel alarm results disabled until the cover is replaced, afterwhich,opening of the Control Panel provokes a tamper alarm.

If the network voltage fails, supply is ensured by the buffer battery and fail-

ure is signalled:

on the front panel of the Main unit, by the LED switching OFF;

on the Control Keypads, by the LED switching ON;

by event no. 223 - Warning mains failure- that may be assigned to anaction on an output or on the communicator (this event may be delayed, by

a programmable timeout).

Causes of malfunction must always be found and eliminated before thebattery runs down. When the buffer battery is low, and therefore requiring

immediate action, if functionality loss is to be avoided, it is signalled by

event no. 224 - Warning low battery, which may be assigned to an actionon an output or on the communicator. However, when power is restored,

the Control Panel regains its previous configuration, this is due to the non-volatile memory which logs all the status changes that occur during Control

Panel functioning.

PROGRAMMING

All Omnia parameters may be defined in the optional program, which runs

in Windowsenvironment, or may be programmed from the Control PanelKeypad. Programming from the PC is much easier than programming from

the Keypad, therefore, the program in Windowsenvironment is used forthe Omnia parameter descriptions.

+ For a complete description of the Omnia program, see the "Omnia-Norma-Com software" manual.

Omnia parameter programming is divided into several pages, which grouptogether parameters concerning the same feature. The following para-graphs describe the programming pages, as displayed by the Omnia pro-gram.

Customer

This page is for Customer details: the data entered in the Address, City,

Customer tel.num and Installation description fields are for installeruse, and are not fundamental to programming. However, the data enteredin the following fields are essential.

Name This is the name the program uses to identify a customer, and to display

the data defined in the various pages.

Instal lat ion tel .

num.

This is the telephone number the Control Panel is connected to. This num-

ber is dialled by the OmniaMOD modem, when the Connectingcommand

from the Modemmenu is selected.

The Installation tel. num. field accepts digits from 0 through 9 and also

the comma (,): the comma is for pauses, for example, between a tele-

phone number and area code.

Customer code When an Omnia Control Panel calls the OmniaMOD modem (for teleserv-

ice or the test call) the modem recognizes the Control Panel by the code

entered in this field; therefore, each Control Panel must have a differentCustomer Code. If a duplicate Customer Code is assigned, the existence

of the code, and the Control Panel it is assigned to, will be signalled whenan attempt to save modifications is made.

+ The Customer Code specified in this page is the same as the code in the{Teleservice} page, therefore, any changes made to either code will affectthe other automatically.

Firmw are release This field cannot be modified within the Customer page; by selecting theFirmware releasecommand from the Optionmenu, the field displays the

set value and indicates the parameters that may be defined in the pro-gram, according to the version of the connected Control Panel.

The definition of the Control-Panel configuration is essential for proper pro-

gramming and functioning. The Control Panel must be able to recognizethe communication-bus configuration, and detect the removal of any de-

vice from the communication bus, as this may be due to tamper.

On initial Startup the Control Panel performs an auto-configuration cycle,

which sets the configuration of the BPI bus devices (see the "Power supply

connection" paragraph). Any changes in the configuration must be carriedout by the installer.

+ If the Control Panel is connected to a PC, the configuration may be read byselecting the Load > Pagecommand on the Programmingmenu (see the

relevant paragraph).

The configuration programming page is divided into different sections, onefor each device type (Keypads, Key readers, Input expanders, Output ex-

panders, Power stations).

Figure 21 Client description page.



45/158

Each section has a series of boxes, a number indicating the device ad-

dress is situated near each box. This address is set by means of the dip-switches on the various peripheral devices (see the "Peripheral device

connection" paragraph).

In order to set the configuration, it is necessary to select the required pe-ripheral devices. If a marker is present, the device is already in the configu-

ration; if not (white box), the device is not in the configuration. Devices notincluded in the configuration are not controlled by the Control Panel andshould be considered as "virtually disconnected".

After setting the device configuration, it is possible to program some of thecharacteristics in the Detailswindows. The parameters for all device types

(Keypads, Key readers, Input expanders, Output expanders and Power

Stations) must be specified in the Detailswindow; it is also necessary todefine the Keypad and Key reader parameters, according to the instruc-

tions in the relevant paragraphs.

no . This is the peripheral device ID number (the device address), which de-

pends on the configuration of its dip-switches.

Descript ion It is possible to assign a name, with a maximum of 16 characters, to eachdevice, this name is used as the device identifier in all the operations it is

involved in.

Keypads

1 ... 8 This specifies the Areas a Keypad can operate on (Arm, Disarm, etc.).

+ A Keypad may be unable to operate on any Area, however, it may be usedfor programming, display and all other functions that do not involve Areas.

Key readersOmnia functions may be checked by simply inserting a valid Electronic keyinto a Key reader, for functions such as:

Area arming;

Area disarming;

Type A or B arming;

Alarm stop on Areas.

Omnia can manage up to 16 Key readers and up to 250 Electronic keys.

The parameters described in the following paragraphs can be defined foreach Key reader, whereas, Electronic key programming may be carried outvia Keypad, as described in the "Electronic keys" paragraph.

RED spot m arker This indicates the Areas the Key reader can operate on (arm, disarm, and

stop warning signals): Areas are indicated by their identifier number (1through 8); cells containing "Yes" (where the row indicated by the RED

spot marker slices the Area identifier number row) indicate the Key reader

is enabled on the corresponding Area; by double-clicking or pressing theENTERkey on the selected cell, the status of the corresponding Area can

be changed.

AMBER spot

This indicates the Areas to be armed (A) and those to be disarmed (D),among those enabled, on extraction of the Electronic key when the AM-

BER LED is ON: in order to change an Area status double click or pressthe ENTERkey on the corresponding cell.

GREEN spo t

marker

This indicates the Areas to be armed (A) and those to be disarmed (D),

Zones

Omnia is provided with 8 input Zones on the Main unit, that can be ex-

panded to 80 by means of Keypads, each equipped with 1 Zone, and by 4Zone Input expanders, these are available on request.

Omnia Zones (terminals [Zx]) may be programmed as Alarm or Command

Zones.

Alarm Zones Violation of an Alarm Zone generates an alarm event Alarm on zone no..It is possible to assign one or more actions to an alarm event (activation ofsirens, digital communicator, telephone dialler etc.).

Before generating an alarm event the Control Panel checks whether the Zone

Area is armed (see "Areas").

If the Zone is not an Entry delayor Last exit zonetype (see "Type"), theControl Panel starts alarm status detection as soon as the Zone Area is

armed, otherwise, the alarm starts when the Exit time for the Areas has

expired (see "Areas").

The alarm status occurs when the Zone is unbalanced (see "Balancing")

for the programmed number of times and timeout (see "Sensitivity").Each Zone can generate the Zone Alarm event for the programmed num-

ber of times only (see "Cycles").

Command Zones When Command Zones are violated (or activated), they generate one ofthe following actions:

Area status commutation;

Area arming only;

Area disarming only;

Area reset;

Control Panel reset;

Clear call queue.

In order to acknowledge a Command Zone as activated, it must be unbal-anced (see "Balancing") for the programmed number of times and timeout

(see "Sensitivity").

Zone chart

The left side of the programming page holds a chart which shows theZones available, in accordance with the expanders indicated in the {Con-fig.} page. Data must be entered on the right side of the page, whichshows the programming relevant to the Zone selected on the left. The fol-

lowing parameters are indicated, on the left, for each Zone.

Posit ion This is the description of the hardware component the Zone is assigned to:

this description may be changed in the {Config.} page and may be used,for example, to indicate the installation position of a device.

Device This is the device identifier number (address) of the peripheral the Zone is

assigned to.

It is a number from 1 through 8 for Keypad Zones, and a number from 1

through 16 for Input-Expander Zones. This parameter is not present on Main-Unit Zones.

Ter. These are the initials that identify the Zone on the terminal board of the de-

vice the Zone resides on. This parameter is also the sequential number ofthe Zone on the device.

Descript ion This field accepts a maximum of 16 characters, and is for the name which

identifies the Zone. This name will be used as Zone identifier, in all parts ofthe program and in the event logger.

Area This indicates the Area the Zone is assigned to (Zone Area). If the Zonetype is a Command Zone, an asterisk is displayed in this field.

All the programmable parameters, of the Zone selected in the Zone Chart

in the programming page, may be modified in the right side.

These parameters are described as follows.

Description

This modifiable field accepts a maximum of 16 characters, and is for aname that will identify a Zone. This name will be used in all parts of the

program as Zone identifier. This description is shown in the left side of the{Zones} page. The sequential number of the Zone is shown to the left ofthe description field, by a number from 1 through 80.

Type

This shows the intervention times of the Alarm Zones, that is, whether theymust signal an alarm condition immediately or with a delay, independent of

the status of the latter.

+ This parameter definition determines, amongst other things, if Zone viola-tion will generate Fire, 24h or Burglar type alarm events, at both Area and

Control Panel level. If the Zone is not defined as Fire or 24h type, it will be

implicitly regarded as Burglar type.

Immediate When the Zone is violated, the following events are generated immedi-ately:

Alarm on zone no.;

Burglar alarm on area no., Generic alarm on area no. and Ge-neric+Tamper alarm on area no.on the Zone Area;

Burglar alarm on panel, Generic alarm on paneland Generic+Tamper

alarm on panel.

Entry d elay When the Zone is violated, and the Entry timeset for the Zone Area is ac-

tive, no event is generated; if the Area is not disarmed after timeout, or ifthe Zone is violated after this period, the events indicated for the Immedi-

atetype are generated.

The first Zone that must be violated on the path to a disarm-point of theZone Area, should be of this type.

Entry path When the Zone is violated after an Entry delayZone, the events specified

for the Immediatetype are generated, after the Entry time has expired.

If the Entry timeis not active or has expired, the events shown for the Im-mediatetype are generated.

Zones that must be violated on the path to a disarm-point of the ZoneArea, should be of this type.

Exit delay If a Zone is violated during the Exit timeof the Zone Area, no events aregenerated; otherwise, the events specified for the Immediatetype are gen-erated.

Zones that must be violated in order to exit the Zone Area, should be of

this type.

PROGRAMMING 49


50/158

Last exit zone If a Zone is violated during the Exit timeof the Zone Area, no events are

generated, but this modifies the Exit time in accordance with the settingfor the Last exit timeof the Zone Area, otherwise, the events indicated for

the Immediatetype are generated.

The last Zone violated on Zone Area exit, should be of this type.

24h When a Zone is violated, whether the Zone Area is armed or disarmed, the fol-

lowing events are generated:

Alarm on zone no.;

24h alarm on area no., Generic alarm on area no.and Generic+Tam-per alarm on area no.on the Zone Area;

24h alarm on panel, Generic alarm on panel and Generic+Tamper

alarm on panel.

Fire When a Zone is violated, whether the Zone Area is armed or disarmed, thefollowing events are generated:

Alarm on zone no.;

Fire alarm on area no., Generic alarm on area no.and Generic+Tam-

per alarm on area no.on the Zone Area;

Fire alarm on panel, Generic alarm on panel and Generic+Tamperalarm on panel.

Attributes

+ The following parameters affect the Alarm Zones only, and do not affectthe Command Zones.

Not By passable If this attribute is selected, the Zone cannot be bypassed.

Chime If the Zone Area is disarmed, violation generates the Chime on area no.event, and there is a beep signal on the enabled Keypads of the Zone

Area. If the Zone Area is armed, it performs as specified in the Typepa-

rameter.

+ The Chimeattribute does not affect the 24hor FireZones.

Test The Zone is operative to all effects, but instead of generating the eventAlarm on zone no. it stores the message in the Control Panel event logger: in this way, it is possible tocheck the status of a suspect Zone, without provoking alarm signalling. By

means of the Optionswindow in the Programming menu, it is possible toselect whether the event logger should log events only when the Area is

armed (default), or also when the Area is disarmed.

Autobypassable If this attribute is selected, the Control Panel can bypass the Zone, whenthe Zone results violated during Zone Area arming. The Zone is un-by-

passed automatically, on the successive disarming of the Zone Area.

+ The Autobypassableattribute does not affect the Exit delayZone types.



51/158

Balancing

This specifies the electrical conditions that must be present on the inputterminal, in order for the Control Panel to acknowledge violation on the cor-

responding Zone.

+ The following conditions must be present for at least 300 mS (milliseconds= 0.3 seconds), in order for them to be recognized by the Control Panel.

Normal ly open When normal, the Zone must be open; when it is connected to ground the

Control Panel acknowledges Zone violation (e.g. connections to fire detec-

tors).

Normal ly closed When normal, the Zone must be connected to ground; when the Zone is

open the Control Panel acknowledges Zone violation.

Balanc ed 10K When normal, the Zone must be connected to ground with a 10K (10,000

ohm) resistance; if short-circuited to ground the Control Panel acknow-ledges tamper and generates the following events:

Tamper on zone no.;

Tamper alarm on area no.and Generic+Tamper alarm on area no.on

the Zone Area;

Tamper alarm on paneland Generic+Tamper alarm on panel.

In all other cases (unbalanced, open Zones etc.) the Control Panel ac-knowledges Zone violation (see "Type").

Doub le balanced The Zone must be connected to ground with two10 K (10,000 ohm) resis-

tances; if one of these is disconnected, the Control Panel generates events

according to the Zone Type (see the "Type"); in all other cases (openZones, Zones connected to ground, etc.), the Control Panel acknowledgestamper and generates the events indicated for tamper on the balanced

Zone with 10K.

By means of just 2 wires, this balancing type allows detection of both theopening of the alarm switch and the tamper switch of the connected sen-sors (see "Alarm sensor connection").

+ There is no reason to program Double balancing for a Command Line, asevent recognition Tamper on zone no.does not generate any actions.

Cycles

This parameter shows the number of times the Zone being programmedcan signal an alarm condition before being bypassed on the analysis. The

following values are possible.

0 Violations on the Zone are ignored.

1 254 The Zone signals the alarm condition for the set number of times, it is thenbypassed until one of the following conditions, which will clear the alarm-cycle counter, occurs:

status change of the Zone Area;

reset of the Zone Area;

quitting of the Stop-Alarm condition for the Zone Area (via Keypad by

means of a Code or via Key reader by means of a Electronic key);

quitting of a programming session (via Keypad or by means of local or re-

mote connection).

Repetit ive The number of times the Zone can signal an alarm condition is unlimited.

+ Zones with a persistent alarm status (e.g. due to a malfunction) generateonly one alarm cycle. This function mode is explicitly required by CEI 79/2regulations. They may generate a new cycle only if the alarm counters are

cleared or if the Zones are un-bypassed.

Area

Alarm Zone Command Zone

This shows the Zone Area of theZone being programmed andtherefore, the enabled Codes, Keys

and also function times: each AlarmZone should be assigned to one Area

only; it is unnecessary to assign aZone to several Areas, as Omnia

manages Area dependency (see

"Areas").

This shows the Areas of theCommand Zone in question: eachCommand Zone can operate on

more than one Area.It is not possible to specify the

Areas for the Panel Reset andClear Calls commands, as this

parameter is not influential for this

command.

Sensitivity

Standard This shows the number of times the Zone must be violated (see Pulses)

during the programmed delay time (see Within parameter), before the

Control Panel acknowledges alarm status.

Low In order for the Control Panel to acknowledge the Zone as in alarm status,

it is necessary that violation is detected for the programmed time (seePulse length). Please note the time is programmed in full minutes and the

programmable time ranges from 1 through 16 minutes. Although, for theKeypad Zones, the time is to be estimated with a margin of about 30 sec-onds less than that actually set.



53/158

Voice messages

This parameter permits the assignment of two of the 14 Voice messages,that Omnia is able to record, to the Zone being programmed; in this way,

by means of the Omnia inputs, it is possible to check the status of an ap-pliance (e.g. heating system) via telephone.

Standby This message is played when the Zone is in standby status.

+ If there is no Voice message indicated in the Standby field, the standbystatus of the Zone is signalled by a beep.

Alarm This message is played when the Zone is violated.

+ If no Voice message is displayed in the Alarmfield, the Alarm status of theZone is signalled by two beeps.

Messages... This button opens a window, similar to that in figure 28, for the 16-charac-ter description of each of the 14 messages that Omnia is able to record:the changes made in this window may be programmed on the ControlPanel by using the Sendbutton on the Messageswindow.

+ Recording, playback and deletion of Voice messages is carried out via theControl Keypad, and requires installation the OmniaVox kit (Voice board +Microphone board + loudspeaker), available on request.

Outputs

Omnia has 4 outputs on the Main unit, that may be expanded to 36, by

means of up to 8 Output expanders of 4 outputs each, these are availableon request.

All outputs are programmable and may be assigned to the events man-

aged by the Control Panel for the signalling of alarm status, by means of

sirens, flashers etc., outputs may also be used for signalling operating ormalfunction conditions, and also to provide control signals for other de-

vices, and so forth.

The outputs may also be programmed for the remote control of appliances

(e.g. the heating system), via telephone.

All the outputs on the expanders are 150 mA open-collectors, that is, terminalsthat can earth a maximum current of 150 mA or result open; each expander

board is equipped with a buzzer that may be connected to output 4 (terminal

[OC4]) with positive or negative logic, according to the position of jumper 64.

The Control Panel is equipped with two 1 A open-collector outputs and two3 A relays.

Each of these forms a Stand-Alone security output, marked +Nx for control

of the 12 V self-powered siren, a positive output marked +Ax for indoor si-

rens and 12 V flashers and a free exchange on terminals Cx, NCx e NAxfor the connection of those devices that cannot be directly connected to the

above mentioned terminals (e.g. 24 V indoor and self-powered sirens, 24 Vflashers for fire systems).

Outputs and

Events

The description of the action that each activated output will perform, is to

be defined in the {Outputs} page. Specifications as to when an output is tobe armed (or disarmed), are to be made in the {Event-Actions} page. Theprogramming definition of an output, as shown, coincides with the action

description. Therefore, when assigning an output action in the {Event-Ac-tions} page, it is necessary to indicate the required output only, as the ac-

tion the output performs is completely defined by its programming.

Several events may activate the same output. When checking program-ming, it may be helpful to have a list of all the events that activate a given

output.

The Eventsbutton, in the {Outputs} page is for this purpose.

On selecting this button the program shows the list of events that activatethe output selected in the output chart (left side of the programming page).

In this way, there are two distinct ways of displaying the allocation of the

Events and Actions to the outputs:

the {Event-Actions} page shows which outputs are activated for each

event;

the {Outputs} page shows which events activate each output.

making it easy to locate when necessary.

Device This is the ID number (address) of the device the output resides on.

Therefore, for Output expander Output, this may be a number from 1 to 8.

This parameter is not available for the Main unit Outputs.

Ter. Shows the initials that identify the output on the terminal, the output re-

sides on. This parameter is also the sequential number of the output on the

Type Shows whether the output is programmed as Bistable(B) or Monostable

(M).

At t r ib . Shows whether the output is programmed as Normally closed (NC) orNormally open(NO).

Reserv. Shows whether a Output is Reserved for manual use by the user. Themanual arming of an output is available to the user via the system Key-pads (USER MENU, Outs management) or via telephone.

Reserved

Omnia outputs may be used for remote control of electrical appliances(switch ON - switch OFF), both via Keypad or via telephone.

If this option is selected the output cannot be assigned to Omnia events

and therefore, its status is determined exclusively by the commands givenvia Keypad or via telephone.

Monostable programming is not necessary, for outputs programmed inthis way, as the output is armed and disarmed by the user.

(Please see the "Output activation" paragraph and the "TELEPHONE OP-ERATIONS" chapter in the USER MANUAL).

Type

Bistable This is activated when at least one of the assigned events occurs; it is re-set when all the assigned events end.

Monostable This is activated, if not already so, each time at least one of the assignedevents occurs; it remains active for the programmed On time, then returnsto standby status for the programmed Off Time, at least.

Attribute

This specifies the normal electrical status of the output being programmed.

Normal ly open The open-collector outputs (terminals [OCx]) are open; the Stand-Alone

outputs (terminals [+Nx]) are open; on the positive outputs (terminals[+Ax]) is the positive (13.8 V); the Common contacts of the free voltage ex-

change of the output relays (terminals [Cx]) are closed on the correspond-ing Normally open contacts (terminals [NAx]).

Normal ly closed Negative is on the open-collector output (terminals [OCx]); positive

(13.8 V) is on the Stand-Alone outputs (terminals [+Nx]); the positive out-

puts (terminals [+Ax]) are open; the Common contacts of the free voltageexchange of the output relays (terminals [Cx]) are closed on the corre-

sponding Normally Closed contacts (terminals [NCx]).

Timing

On t ime This is the maximum activation time for the output being programmed.

+ The On timeis relevant only to the Monostableprogrammed outputs, asthe Bistableoutput is reset when all the assigned events end.

Each Monostableoutput may have a different On time:

from 0.0 through 25.4 seconds, with steps of 0.2 seconds, if the Sec.op-

tion is selected;

from 1 through 128 minutes with steps of 1 minute, if the Min.option is selected.

The default On timefor each Monostable output is 3 minutes.



57/158

Off Time

This is the minimum time that must elapse before the output may be acti-vated again.

+ There is only one Off Timefor all Monostableoutputs, which is irrelevantfor Bistableoutputs.

It is possible to set an Off Timeof 0.0 through 127.5 seconds, with stepsof 0.5 second (default = 6.0 seconds).

Areas

An Area is a group of Zones that Omnia manages separately (Virtual Con-

trol Panel). It is possible to define control codes, timers, output actions andother parameters, for each Area; these may be different to those definedfor other Areas that, however, may interact with one another.

Omnia can manage up to 8 Areas, the composition of which is defined in

the {Zones} page.

+ Each Area may be made up of many input Zones, however, each Zonemay be assigned to one Area only.

the Area parameters, described in the following paragraphs, are to be de-

Entry t ime This determines the timeout delay that is generated by Zone violation of aEntry delay-Zone Type. The Entry timeis signalled by:

the event activation Entry time on area no.relevant to the violated Area;

an acoustic signal on every enabled Keypad relevant to the violated Area.

If the Area is disarmed before the timeout expires, no alarm occurs.
