 Indication LED description
The schematic shows the control keyboard and the
indications plate of a BS-610 panel. Starting from the
top left indicators we can see 2 indicators marked 1 2 3 4 5
'Disable'. The 'Siren' LED lights to indicate a disabled 6 7 8 9 10
siren, whereas the 'Zone' LED lights when a disabled
zone is only one and blinks when we have more than one
disabled zone.
Going towards the right we can see tree LEDs with the
marking 'General'.
ZONE

silenced. The 'Alarm' LED lights when we have an ALARM condition and blinks when we have an ALARM and the
buzzer is silenced. The 'Disable' LED lights when we have disabled one zone or a siren. The next group of indicators
is the 'Zone' indications LEDs(one for each zone). These indicators light (red) when a corresponding zone issues an
ALARM condition. If the fault is caused by a short circuit then the corresponding LED will blink, and when the zone is
Disabled the yellow led will light continuously. The Alarm condition has priority to this marking.
Below the `Disable` and the `General` indicator groups we can find another indication group called `Fault`. The LEDs
marked 'Siren1' and 'Siren2' correspond to the siren outputs. If a siren out has a short circuit then the corresponding
LED will blink whereas the LED will remain continuously lighted if the siren output is open circuited. The 'Batt' LED
and 'Power' LED in combination, show us faults concerning the power supply. These combination are shown in the
panel below.

Control keyboard description/operation The panel is controlled/ operated using the six numeric
keys (1 to 6) found on the front panel. When a key is pressed a short tone is issued.
The panel has three operation levels.
Operation level 1 has all the functions that can be done directly from the user without using a code.
These operations are:
Buzzer silence / Buzzer reactivation . If an alarm of fault condition is issued then the internal buzzer will sound. Pressing
the "1" key will silence the buzzer. ( The buzzer sounds periodically once every minute.) Pressing this key again will
reactive the buzzer.

Viewing zones fault / Led test. Pressing the "2" key will have the following effect. If any fault condition is present in the
zones then the panel will issue 3 short tones, by lighting the ‘General Fault’ LED, and the fault zone will be shown by lighting
the corresponding 'Fault' LEDs (yellow) to this zone. If the yellow led blinks then we have a short circuit in this zone, and
when the yellow led light continuously then we have an open circuit. The panel then returns to normal operation after a Leds
control . These operations can be conducted only if the panel is in quiescent state (No alarm condition).
Operation level 2 has all the functions that the user can do and an access code is required. The code is "345", it is the
same for all panels and cannot be changed. The functions that can be implemented using this code are the following:

Siren Silence. When an alarm is issued and we want to silence the sirens then we must enter the user code ( 345 ) and
then the key number '5'. The sirens are silenced but the internal buzzer continues to sound. The panel remains in normal
operation. A new alarm from another zone will resound the sirens.

Panel Reset. When an alarm or fault condition has occurred and we want to reset the panel we must enter the user code (
345 ) and then the key number '6'. The panel lights all LEDs in sequence and then enters normal operation.

Zone enable/disable. If we want to disable the operation of specific zones the we must enter the user code ( 345 ) and then
the key number '4'. The LEDs marked 'Zone disable' and 'General disable' start to blink. Also blinks the red Led from the
first zone , and if a zone is disabled the corresponding yellow LED lights to indicate this. To deactivate or reactivate a zone

Page 2 from 8 921610000_09_007

 we can use the '1' key to go in lower zone or the '2' key to go in higher zonne. With the'5' key we deactivate or reactivate a
zone and with the '6' key this operation can be terminated . The panel exits this mode if no key is pressed for more than 30
seconds. The panel then conducts an automatic RESET and enters normal operation mode.
i.e In this operation if you want to deactivate the zone 6, press 5times the '2' key. Then the red led of the 6 zone blinks.
Press the '5' key and for this zone light the yellow led. Finaly press the '6' key to restart.
All disabled zones are supplied with the proper voltage but cannot issue an alarm or fault condition. If we have disabled
zones then this is indicated with the indicators 'General disable' and 'Zone disable' and the buzzer sounds once every
minute.

Operation level 3 functions are functions that are implemented during the installation and need the technical code to be
accessed. The technical code is "364", it is the same for all panels and cannot be changed. The functions that can be
implemented using the technical code are activation methods used for the relays and can be done only if the panel has
not issued an alarm or fault condition. These methods of programming are:

Evacuation. By pressing the technical code ( 364 ) and then the '4' key the evacuation mode is activated. The General
Alarm Led lights and the panel is in Alarm mode.

Siren enable/disable: If we want to disable the operation of specific sirens the we must enter the code ( 364 ) and then the
key number '6'. The LEDs marked 'Sirene disable' and 'General disable' start to blink, and if a siren is disabled, the "Fault
Siren1" LED lights for siren 1 and the "Fault Siren2" LED lights for the siren 2. Using the keys 1 and 2 we can enable or
disable the respective sirens. The disabled sirens have a respective LED lighted. The panel exits this mode if no key is
pressed for more than 30 seconds. The panel then conducts an automatic RESET and enters normal operation mode. All
disabled sirens are supplied with the proper voltage but the panel cannot enable them or read their condition. If we have
disabled sirens then this is indicated with the indicators 'General disable', 'Disable Siren' and the buzzer sounds once
every minute.
AUX RELAY programming. If we want to program the operation behaviour of the AUX RELAY we must enter the
technical code ( 364 ) and then press the number key '5'. The 'General fault' and 'General alarm' LEDs start to blink . The
Alarm LED (red) of zone 1 and zone 2 show the way the AUX RELAY is programmed according to the table below.

Connections
Connecting detectors and break-glass call points to zones.
By default each zone terminal block has a pre-installed terminal resistor (5Κ6). This resistor is removed and

 installed on the last device of the zone or is left connected on the zone terminals if the zone is not used. The
connections to all the zone are identical. What is shown in figures 1, 2 and 3 for zone 1 is valid for all the
zones.

Figure 2 shows the connection with BS-631 unit. This unit is similar with the terminal resistor. The advantage on this unit
(relative to the terminal resistor) is the following. When a detector is off or disabled the rest of the detectors will work and
the panel will detect a Fault condition, and when a detector gives an Alarm signal the panel recognise it.
On the other hand if a simple resistance was used then the panel could not detect any Alarm signal from the
detectors after the disabled detector.

To connect the rest of the relays of the panel, we have to use 2 BS-631 units (figure 6). The connection is done by using a
flat wire. Each BS-613 unit includes 4 relays. The BS-613 unit that is connected to CN3 terminal (ZONE RELAYS 3-6)
will have the relays ofZONE
3,4,5 and 6 zones.So the other BS-613 unit will have the rest of the zones.On the PCB (BS-613) in
each relay, exist a white block that is used to mark the coresponding zone for each relay.

Battery connection
The battery compartment has the appropriate dimensions for Α-986 battery of olympia electronics.
The charging unit on PCB is also calculated for the specific battery. Replace the battery only with one of
the same type.
From the PCB, are connected two battery wires with a special terminal on the edge. They must be connected to the two
battery poles. Connect the black wire to the negative pole (marked (-) or a black mark) and the red wire to positive pole
(marked (+) or a red mark).

Initial Installation
When the connections to the zones, sirens and other required outputs are finished then we must connect
the mains power supply and the battery. In order to aid the installer during the initial installation, the panel
offers a special configuration. This configuration is entered by setting MODE switch 1 to the ON position.
After entering this mode the panel conducts an auto reset and the 'General Test' LEDs blink. The special
functions that aid in working out various problems that might arise are :

When a zone has an open circuit then the internal buzzer sounds and the corresponding LED
lights. If the problem is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED is extinguished.

When a zone has a short circuit then the internal buzzer sounds and the corresponding LED blinks.
If the problem is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED is extinguished.

When a siren output has an open circuit then the internal buzzer is activated and the corresponding
fault LED lights. If the problem is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED is extinguished.

When a siren output has a short circuit then the internal buzzer sounds and the corresponding LED
blinks. If the problem is corrected then the buzzer is deactivated and the LED goes Off.

When a battery fault exists then the 'Batt fault' LED lights and the 'Power fault' LED blinks. If the
problem is corrected then the LEDs are deactivated.

Page 7 from 8 921610000_09_007

 If all the problems are corrected and the installation is operating normally then the MODE switch 1 must be
placed in the OFF position. The panel conducts a auto-reset and is ready for operation.

Walk - Testing
By using a special operation mode we can conduct a walk test of the system. To enter walk-test mode set
the MODE switch 1 to the ON position. The 'Test' LED blink. If an alarm is manually given by either
activating a BS-536 call point or by activating a smoke detector with smoke or simulated smoke particles
the corresponding Alarm LED of the zone will light and the siren will sound for 2 seconds. Using this
method we can test the operation of the zones.
In this state if we press the number key 1 then the 1 and 5 relays will be activated or deactivated. The
same function standing for the number keys 2 to 5. So if the number key 6 is pressed then the auxiliary
relay AUX is activated or deactivated. By pressing the correspondent button, we can test the function of
the connected units. After finishing the walk test set the MODE switch 1 to the OFF position. The panel
conducts an automatic reset and enters normal operation mode.
