This manual includes steps to install, set up and use your system.

Application Note: Security, Alarm System www.topkodas.lt 2 | EN

GTalarm2 is a user-friendly security system that monitors your site’s

detectors and alarms. Fully programmable, the module GTalarm2

allows you to control hundreds of critical security functions from one

menu-driven interface.

The system consists of a central control unit, an operating panel, and

up to 32 protection points. While monitoring protection points 24 hours

a day the controller itself is electronically monitored by trained central

monitoring station personnel. If a hazard or security breach occurs, the

appropriate authorities (police, fire) are alerted.

All functions are accessed through the system operating panels or

through card/key readers.

Attractive, easy-to-use operating panel.

Control of up to 32 protection points from one central location.

Manual activation or deactivation of any function.

Ability to on in either the AWAY or STAY mode.

Ability to bypass points for maintenance or service.

Capacity of up to 800 individual operating panel users, each

having various security privileges.

Capacity of up to 800 individual card/key reader users, each

having various levels of access.

Control and recording of employee access to workplace

areas.

Recording of security-related activities.

Ability to send messages to up to 8 users.

The GTalarm2 module –the brains of your security system –is a

powerful microcomputer that manages every function of your security

system. All information about your site’s security is stored in this unit or

in the server.

1.3 First steps to prepare GTalarm2 module and Sera2 software

Preparation procedure of the module GTalarm2.

•Connect the GSM antenna to the antenna

connector.

•Insert the SIM card in the SIM card holder.

Ensure that PIN request function is disabled.

•Connect the module to the computer via

mini USB cable.

Install configuration software SERA2.

SERA2 configuration and monitoring software

•Open the folder containing installation of the software SERA2. Click the file „SERA2

setup.exe“

•If installation directory of the software is OK, press [Next]. If you would like to install

the software inthe other directory press [Change], specify otherinstallation directory andthen

press “next”.

•Check if the correct data are entered and press Install

•After successful installation of the software SERA2, press [Finish]

Connection of the module to your PC

The module must be powered with (+12V >500 mA) voltage, it should have inserted SIM card (with replenished account and removed PIN

CODE REQUEST). Module must be connected to the PC via micro USB cable

Work with the software SERA2

Start the software SERA2. Go to „Start“> „All programs“> „SERA2“> „SERA2 “or go to installation directory and click „SERA2.exe“.

If you are sure that the module is fully connected to PC and power supply, please go to Devices > GTalarm v2

Each time after configuring the module press Write 5 icon thus the software SERA2 will write configuration changes into the module!

After configuration of the module, all settings may be saved at PC. It enables to save time, when next time the same configuration will be used –it will not

be necessary again to set the same parameters. If you want to save that is already recorded by the module, firstly you must read configuration of the

module. Press Read 4 icon. In order to save configuration go to File 1 then press “Save As” or “Save”. Enter configuration parameter in the displayed

table and press „OK“

In order to start saved configuration go to File then press Open

It allows to copy the same programmed content into as many modules as required.

2 Power supply, Battery Wiring

It is possible to supply the security system from stabilized power

supply source 10-15 V and not less than 1,5A. It is necessary to

calculate max current of power supply. The current of the alarm

system is the current used by sensors, relays, siren and other

devices. It is most convenient to use power supply source applied for

power supply of security systems with the option to connect backup

lead battery. It is recommended to mount remote control relays into

sockets. Sockets may be easily fixed in metal box. It is necessary to

select relays according to preferred voltage and current.

4.3 Reporting to the central monitoring station

Shock sensors is mounted on the window with roll up metal shutters in the retail shop because of falls alarm immunity. In case of the broken window, the

shock sensor transmit the signal to the module GTalarm2. The module GTalarm2 send alarm signal to the central monitoring station.

The system can be configured to report events to the monitoring station. The system connects to the central monitoring station (CMS) when the CMS mode

is enabled. When using the CMS mode, the data messages transmitted to the monitoring station will gain the highest priority for the delivery, therefore

based on the communication method a constant and stable connection with the monitoring station must be ensured. In case of connection failure, the

system will attempt to restore the connection and if the monitoring is unavailable for a lengthy period of time, the system switch to backup CMS.

The system supports GPRS network –SIA IP protocol (ANSI/SIA DC-09-2012; configurable as encrypted and non-encrypted).

Figure 16 EOL+Tamper sensors connection to

I/O1, I/O2

The module has 2 I/O analogue input/ output circuits I/O1and I/O2.

They also can be used for burglary alarm zones. Input type: NC/NO/EOL/ EOL+TAMPER. I/O1, I/O2

do not have internal pull-up resistors unlike IN1-IN4.

So if you want to use I/O as burglar zones to connect NO/NC/EOL sensors to I/O1 or I/O2 you have

to connect external 5.1K resistor between I/O and +VD.

oI/O1, I/O2 do not have internal pull-up resistors. So if you want to connect NO/NC

sensors to I/O1 or I/O2 you have to connect 5.1K resistor between I/O and +VD

oPlease note. If I/O1 set as 2-wire, you don't need 5.1k resistor.

5.2 NC, NO, EOL detectors programming.

Sera2> Burglar Alarm Zones

Detection devices such as motion detectors and door contacts are connected to the module’s zone terminals. Once connected, the associated zone’s

parameters must be configured.

GTalarm2 comes equipped with 4 on-board wired zones and 2 programmable I/O inputs. For additional detection device connection, the number of

zones can be expanded. GTalarm2 zones can be expanded with expansion module up to 32.

Zone bypassing allows the user to deactivate a violated zone and arm the system without restoring the zone. If a bypassed zone is violated or restored

during exit/entry delay, or when then system is armed, it will be ignored.

Stay mode allows the user to arm and disarm the alarm system without leaving the secured area. If the zones with Stay attribute enabledare violated when

the system is STAY-armed, no alarm will be caused. Typically, this feature is used when arming the system at home before going to bed.

The system can be STAY-armed under the following conditions: If a Delay-type zone is NOT violated during exit delay and a zone (-s) with Stay attribute

enabled exists, the system will arm in Stay mode. When arming the system in Stay mode under this condition, one of the available arming methods must

be used that provide exit delay.

The difference between stay and sleep zone types: “stay” zone type has delay zone timeout, in “sleep” zone type delay zone becomes

instant

The system will NOT activate siren and keypad buzzer only when Instant, Silent zone types is violated.

Any Delay type zone will operate as Instant type zone when the system is armed in the Stay mode. When the system is fully armed, the

Delay type zone will operate normally.

If the zone is not used, it must be disabled.

The tamper circuit is a single closed loop such that a break in the loop at any point will cause a tamper alarm regardless of the system status –armed or

disarmed. During the tamper alarm, the system will activate the siren/bell and the keypad buzzer and send the SMS text message to the listed user phone

number. The system will cause tamper alarm under the following conditions: If the enclosure of a detection device, siren/bell, metal cabinet or keypad is

opened, the physical tamper switch will be triggered. If needed to get tamper alarms, the field near “Tamper Enabled”, should be marked. In that case, all
