LCD Keyboard Operation
Arming
Full Arming
Full arming means all zones are secured. Anyone coming into the entrance zone is
required to enter a code. Otherwise the alarm is started after the entrance time is
over.
After the arming procedure is completed, short beeps indicate the exit time and the
user is required to leave the zone. Ten seconds before the exit time is over beeps
frequency is increased.
There are three methods to Full arm the system:
Method1
This is a standard method, applied when the user has the permission to arm the
system in more than one of the four ways (Full, Stay, Force and Instant).
The arming sequence is described by Figure 4 on Page 13.
Method 2
This method is applied when the user is permitted to only Full arm the system.
Method 3
This fast method is applied when a certain area can be armed without entering a user
code. The only possible way to arm the system is Full.
Stay Arming
Stay arming means the user is allowed to stay in certain zone(s), but the entrance
zone is secured.
Anyone coming into an Entry zone is required to enter a code. Otherwise the alarm is
started after the entrance time is over.
Force Arming
Force arming means the system is armed despite that in certain zone(s) there may
be a presence or a trouble. All such zones will be bypassed automatically at the
system arming, if they are allowed.
Instant Arming
Instant arming means the user is allowed to stay in certain zone(s) marked as Stay
zones, but the entrance zone is secured.

The Entry zones are armed immediately (without exit time). The difference with the
Stay arming is that the Entry zones are armed immediately (without exit time) and an
intrusion into the Entry zones immediately starts the alarm.
All Areas Arming

All Areas Arming means all areas that the user (and the keyboard) is allowed to
operate are Full armed simultaneously.
The All Areas Arming sequence is described by Figure 10 on Page 19.
In the following figures:

XX stays for the area number
ZZ stays for the zone number
S stays for the respective area status. It can be:
- – the area is not armed and is in normal state
+ – the area is not armed and has an active zone
f – the area is Full armed
p – the area is Stay armed
s – the area is Instant armed
o – exit time is running out
M – the area is Stay armed
A – the area is in an Alarm state
F – the area is in an Fire alarm state
– the area is not supported by the respective keyboard or not used

Bypassing
Bypassing means that when an area is for example Full armed, all bypassed zones
are not armed. This may be necessary, when a malfunctioning of the sensors in the
zone or a presence in the zone obstruct the normal arming of that zone.
It is advisory to bypass zones when it is really needed.
Bypassing sequence is described by Figure 14.

Programming
Each user can access certain menus for setting of parameters concerning the every
day system operation.
To program some parameters, the user needs to be given permissions by the system
engineer or a system manager.
Advanced users may utilize the Complete Menu Map, shown on Page 51, to navigate
the programming menus.
User Codes
The CA824 Alarm System supports 31 user codes and one system engineer code.
The system engineer code grants access to all system parameters.
Each user has the following properties:
a name;
a code;
rights (permission to operate certain areas);
attributes (permissions to perform certain procedures).
The user name and code can be set the respective user and by a system engineer or
manager. The other parameters can be set by the system engineer or a system
manager only.
The user name can be eight characters long and comprises figures, capital or small
Latin or Cyrillic letters. See the table on Page Error! Bookmark not defined. for the
correspondence between the number of the pressings of a certain key and the
character displayed on the LCD.
Each user can be given the right to operate any area.
The user attributes apply to all areas, the user is given the right to operate. I.e. the
user can not be given different attributes for the different areas.
The attributes and the corresponding actions are revealed in table on Page Error!
Bookmark not defined..
Note: If a user is not assigned any attribute, the user code is not active!
The user code can contain the figures from 0 to 9 only. Its length can be programmed
by the system engineer to be either four or six figures long.
The CA824 Alarm System support ambush codes. Ambush code is a personal code
that disarms the system, but still sends alarm signal. Its purpose to indicate that the
user is forced to disarm the system against his or her will.
The ambush code is produced from a personal code by increasing the last number
by one. If the last number is 9, it is replaced by 0 in the ambush code.
Note: When an ambush code is entered, the alarm is not activated and no indication
of an alarm condition is displayed on the LCD!
A user code can not be the same as an ambush code!

According to the attributes, the users can be classified as:
Basic user with permission to Full arm and disarm the system;
Standard user with permission to Full arm and disarm the system and to
bypass zones;
Special user with permissions of the standard user as well as the permission
to Force, Stay and Instant arm the system;
Manager with permission to fully operate the system. There is no limit for the
number user that can be managers.
User Limitations
Managers obey the following rules:
A manager can not assign a user more attributes than the manager has been
assigned;
A manager can not grant a user more rights than the manager has been
granted;
A manager can not change his own rights and attributes;
A manager can not change the rights or the attributes of a user that has more
rights than the manager.
All users, including the managers obey the following rules:
A user code is accepted only by keyboards/devices that are allowed to
operate at least one area that the user is also allowed to;
Event memory review for certain areas can be performed by users that are
assigned the Log View attribute and have the right to operate the respective
areas.

LED Keyboard Operation
Arming
To be able to arm an area the respective RDY1 or RDY2 LED must be lit.
Full Arming
Full arming means all zones are secured. Anyone coming into the entrance zone is
required to enter a code. Otherwise the alarm is started after the entrance time is
over.
After the arming procedure is completed, short beeps indicate the exit time and the
user is required to leave the zone. Ten seconds before the exit time is over beeps
frequency is increased.
There are three methods to Full arm the system:
Method1
This is a standard method, applied when the user has the permission to arm the
system in more than one of the four ways (Full, Stay, Force and Instant).
Method 2
This method is applied when the user is permitted to only Full arm the system.
Method 3
This fast method is applied when a certain area can be armed without entering a user
code. The only possible way to arm the system is Full.
Stay Arming
Stay arming means the user is allowed to stay in certain zone(s), but the entrance
zone is secured.
Anyone coming into an Entry zone is required to enter a code. Otherwise the alarm is
started after the entrance time is over.
Force Arming
Force arming means the system is armed despite that in certain zone(s) there may
be a presence or a trouble. All such zones will be bypassed automatically at the
system arming, if they are allowed.
Instant Arming
Instant arming means the user is allowed to stay in certain zone(s) marked as Stay
zones, but the entrance zone is secured.

The Entry zones are armed immediately (without exit time). The difference with the
Stay arming is that the Entry zones are armed immediately (without exit time) and an
intrusion into the Entry zones immediately starts the alarm.
The arming sequence is described by Figure 35 on Page 62

A proxy card can be used to operate a single area.
Disarming
Place the proxy card 2-3 cm parallel to the card reader.
If the card is accepted the LED of the card reader emits green light for 2 seconds and
a Confirm sound combination is produced. The area is now disarmed.
If the card is not accepted the LED of the card reader emits red light for 2 seconds
and a Reject sound combination is produced. The area status stays unchanged.
Arming
a Confirm sound combination is produced. Keep the proxy card near the card reader.
If the card has Arm right, the Exit time sound combination is started. Keep the
proxy card near the card reader until a Confirm sound combination is
produced once again. The area is now armed.
If the Exit time sound combination is not started for 5 seconds the card has no
Arm right. The area status stays unchanged.
If the card is not accepted the LED of the card reader emits red light for 2 seconds
and a Reject sound combination is produced. The area status stays unchanged.
