    Installation 2 Installation 2.1 Introduction to the Control Panel The control panel is designed to maximise user friendliness for both the installer and the user. Programming is usually unnecessary as the factory settings (section 1.1.1, page 5) have been carefully selected to suit most installations without alteration. However all functions are fully programmable for Complete Control.
  • Page 7: Wiring The Control Panel

    1) Although the Veritas has been designed for maximum compatibility, for optimum performance, it is highly recommended that the Veritas should be used with Texecom's range of detectors, sounders and batteries. 2) The control panel is supplied with links fitted across the eight zones (Z1 -...

    Programming Disclaimer: It is the responsibility of the Installer to guard against losing locked Engineer codes. Texecom accept no liability whatsoever for any loss resulting from locked Engineer codes. 3.2.3 Miscellaneous Selections Two From the Programming Menu, enter . The zone lights of the options currently selected will illuminate.
  • Page 23: Engineer Reset

    When an Engineer Reset is required, the zone lights will display a random 4 digit sequence. Each digit will flash in turn and then pause before repeating. Texecom's Anti-Code software will accept this sequence to generate a 4 digit code which should be entered, after which the system can be reset as normal.
  • Page 24: Push To Set

    Programming 3.2.6 Push To Set Push to Set is intended to reduce false alarms due to user error when full setting the system. The user starts full set in the usual way and leaves the premises. However the system will ONLY set when an external push button is pressed. 1) The Zone Type of the zone to which the external push button is connected must be programmed as Push to Set (section 3.9, page 27): a) If this zone is set to chime (see User Guide) then the push button can...

    Programming 1) The zone light corresponding to each output will illuminate when it is on. 2) Several Texecom bell boxes feature a unique, patented "Engineer Hold-Off Mode" which disables Self-Activate on Lid Tamper to facilitate convenient servicing. Option will cause the strobe output to pulse 3 times to invoke Hold-Off Mode.
  • Page 26: Re-Loading The Factory Settings

    Programming 3.6 Re-Loading the Factory Settings From the Programming Menu, enter . All the zone lights will turn off. Press . The system will chime to confirm that all the factory settings have been re-loaded into the Non Volatile Memory. The system will then automatically revert to the Programming Menu and all the zone lights will illuminate.
  • Page 27: Configuring The Remote Keypad(S)

    Programming 1) If selecting one of the options which incorporate latching sensor reset (2, 3 or 6) the user can force a latching sensor reset, to clear the Latch/FTA indication, by entering their code and pressing 2) The SW+ output can only sink (not source) current. If powering detectors from the SW+ output, connect the detector +Ve to AUX+ and the detector -Ve to SW+.
  • Page 28 Programming Each zone may be programmed with one of these Zone Types which are described in the following sections: 3.9.1.1 Push To Set " Push to Set is intended to reduce false alarms due to user error when full setting the system.
  • Page 29: Programming The Zone Type

    Programming 3.9.1.6 Entry/Exit Opening a zone with this Zone Type when the system is set will cause the control panel to start entry mode. This Zone Type would typically be used for a front door magnetic contact or, if one is not fitted, a hall PIR. The Final Door Set option (section 3.2.2, page 21) will cause the exit time to be reduced to 3 seconds when an Entry/Exit zone is closed during exit mode.
  • Page 30: Changing Zone Types When Part Setting

    Programming For example to program Zone 7 as a Guard zone, enter , press , press ") Description " Program Zone Type Zone = 7 Zone Type = Guard Program A zone is often referred to by its Zone Type, e.g. a zone with the PA Zone Type would be referred to as a PA zone.
  • Page 31: Programming The Zones That Will Change To Entry/Exit

    Programming Zone 1 will change (from Entry/Exit) into Guard and Zone 2 will change (from Inhibited Entry) into Entry/Exit. 24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push to Set zones should be monitored constantly and should NOT be programmed to change when the system is part set.
  • Page 32: Programming The Date

    Disclaimer: It is the responsibility of the Installer to obtain prior written agreement from the Customer regarding any use of a Service Timer. Texecom accept no liability whatsoever for any dispute resulting from the use of Service Timers. Service Timer One is designed to be used as a reminder. When it expires it turns on high level chime on all eight zones the first time the panel is set/unset.
  • Page 33: Programming Service Timer One (Reminder) #)

    Programming 3.12.1 Programming Service Timer One (Reminder) From the Programming Menu, enter . All the zone lights will turn off. Enter Service Timer One (Reminder) date as a 6 digit number; Day, Day, Month, Month, Year, Year (e.g. to program the 1st of April 1999 enter !"!%(( Zone lights 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will illuminate in turn as each digit of the new date is entered.

    Programming The system will automatically revert to the Programming Menu and all the zone lights will illuminate. 1) The Bell Cut Off Time is the length of time for which the bell sounds. & 2) The Part Set Error Tone Suspension Time would typically be used to suspend the error tone (indicating an open zone) to avoid disturbance when there are detectors on the part set exit route.
  • Page 35: Programming The Suites

    Programming 3.15 Programming the Suites The system has two Part Set Suites, a Chime Suite, a Double Knock Suite, a Manual Omit Suite, a Zone Disable Suite and a Zone Soak Test Suite all of which are programmable. 24 Hour zones (Fire, PA and Tamper), Keyswitch zones and Push to Set zones should be monitored constantly and should NOT be omitted by the Part Set Suites.
  • Page 36: Programming The Manual Omit Suite

    Programming 1) The Double Knock Suite defines the zones that will be assigned a double knock attribute. 2) A zone should be assigned a double knock attribute when maximum false alarm protection is required. A zone with a double knock attribute must be activated either twice within 10 seconds or once for longer than 10 seconds in order to cause an alarm.

    ! EN 50131-1 requires that detector activation LEDs shall only be enabled during Walk Test. This is most conveniently achieved by using detectors with a Remote LED Disable input (e.g. the Texecom Rf360, Rf650 & RfExtreme PIRs) connected to the panel SW+ output, programmed to operate during Walk Test (section 3.7, page 26).
