The keyswitch may be used to Set (open contacts) or Unset (closed contacts) independently of
RKPs. However in this situation the keyswitch may have to ‘catch up’ with the system. For example
if the system is Set via an RKP and Unset with the keyswitch, it would have to be momentarily
turned to its Set position then returned to its Unset position.

The keyswitch will always Set program 1. It will also Unset the system or switch off an alarm

There are two types of fire zone, Standard and 24 hour type. The Standard fire zone detects fires
only when the system is Set, where as the 24 hour fire zone detects fires all the time and will
operate whether the system is Set or Unset. A fire will cause a distinctive internal sounder tone. The

Remote signalling Input and
Outputs
These outputs are not applicable to the
Optima compact G3 panel.
These terminals have been provided for
connection to remote signalling equipment such
as a digital communicator, Red Care STU or
speech dialler.
Alternatively each output can be used to drive a
relay(coil resistance > 1200 W ) connected
between the output terminal and the 13V supply
terminal. The relay will energise when the
output port operates. It is recommended that a
back EMF protection diode is used in parallel
with the relay coil.

Important Notes
a. Each output has been configured as
active low and will normally require the
EPROM or NVM for the communicator
or STU to be programmed as active
low or positive removed. However
there may be differences between
some pieces of equipment and some
Alarm Receiving Centres (ARCs).
b. Where the communicator is powered
from an external source, not the panel
and the outputs are being used without
relays, the panel and external power
supply will require a commoned
negative supply rail.
c. If the communicator is not fitted inside
the panel and abort is being used, care
should be taken to ensure that the
abort connection cannot be damaged
or severed as this could cause the
ARC to incorrectly filter an alarm
signal.
d. It is very important that communicating
systems are fully tested and that all
signals are correctly received at the
ARC when the system is installed and
serviced.
4188-727 issue 2_10/02
Accenta/Optima G3 intruder system
Filtering of Intruder alarms
A condition of most police Force Policies and
under the guidance of NACOSS NACP 14
(Code of Practice for intruder Alarm Systems
Signalling to Alarm Receiving Centres) is that
all intruder alarm signals received by an Alarm
Receiving Centre (ARC) must be filtered to
establish their validity before passing to the
police.
The exact method of filtering should be decided
according to the regional Police Force Policy
and ARC procedures.
Remote signalling Input and Outputs
In general, the panels offer the following
methods which could be used to filter an alarm.
Set/Unset A Set or Unset signal which is
received by the ARC at around the same time as
an intruder signal can be used to filter the alarm.
Abort Output The abort output operates
whenever a user code is entered or a keyswitch
is used to switch off an intruder alarm condition.
When an abort signal is received by ARC at or
around the same time as an intruder signal, the
alarm can be filtered.
Restore of the Intruder Output The intruder
alarm output is restored to 12V whenever a user
code is entered or a keyswitch is used to switch
off an intruder alarm condition. Where an
intruder alarm is shortly followed by a restore at
the ARC, this can be used to filter the alarm.

Programs
The panel uses 3 Part Set routines known as
Programs. In each Program the exit mode can be
changed and the zone may be set up to have a
different function.
The examples below show how 3 typical
Programs could be used in a house.
ÿ Program 1 : To arm all of the zones and
become Set as the user leaves the property
and closes the final door.
ÿ Program 2 : To protect the perimeter of the
property in the evening and become Set after
say 20 seconds.
ÿ Program 3 : To protect the downstairs areas
of the house at night and become Set
instantly and silently.
Note: The above are purely examples.
The installer must program the panel to

This sets an infinite time out, which will only set

immediately.

Immediate: This is a zone which will, when

 Engineering information
Faults
Fault conditions are often the result of minor
installation errors or misinterpretation of the
equipment being installed. The following points
outline the most common installation and
commissioning faults.
a. As supplied the user code is 0123 and
the engineer code is 9999. Both codes
will revert back to these default settings
on clearing the NVM.
b. The Engineer Program is accessed
directly from Day mode via the
engineer code.
c. If a tamper, PA or 24Hr fire fault is
present on the system, it will go to a
lock out condition (showing the
appropriate indication). The keypad will
not produce any audible responses
and the system will not operate until
the fault has been found and rectified.
g. Before testing or replacing any fuses,
ALL power must be removed. Fuses
which fail continually are almost
certainly the result of a short circuit or
low resistance across the 13V supply
or external siren (bell box) supply
(terminal D).
Whenever working close to the mains
supply or connector, you should
exercise extreme caution.
Always isolate the mains supply before
removing the control panel covers.
Where normally open and closed
detectors are being used these must
be wired to a zone in the manner
shown.
The example below shows how to wire
normally open detectors on zones 3.

System installation
This booklet tells you how to operate your
intruder alarm system. To simplify this booklet
we have assumed that the alarm system has been
installed by a professional intruder alarm system
installer (the installer), and that the system is
operated in a “typical” way. Aspects of your
system that are not “typical” will be described
by your installer.
Fire Zones
One or more Zones on your alarm system may
have a Fire or Smoke detector connected to it. In
the event of a fire the alarm system will produce
a distinctive two-tone fire alarm sound, and the
outside siren will pulse 2 seconds on, 2 seconds
off. You should leave the premises immediately,
and only re-enter when it is safe to do so. The
alarm can be silenced by entering your code.

will permit you to freely walk around the bedrooms while the living area and outside doors are
protected. Your system may have 2 part-set programs called Program 2 and Program 3.

How to change the Duress code
Your alarm system can have a duress code. The Duress code is used in a hold-up situation where
there is pressure to set or unset the system. The Duress code operates like your normal code but in
addition it will silently send a signal to the Alarm Receiving Centre who will inform the Police. The
duress code can only be changed by the main user. Note the Duress code facility is not applicable to
