1.2 Alarm dialer
The CAPTAIN-i includes an alarm dialer that is capable of calling three,
predefined telephone numbers (programmed by the customer) via a PSTN
connection or GSM transmitter
1
).

NOTE:
When using the GSM to call these private numbers to a telephone with
caller ID support, it is advisable to assign a name, e.g. Alarm at XXX, to
that number.
The dialer calls these numbers under several programmed circumstances:
activation of one of the zones, faults, etc. The dialer calls each subscriber twice
and sounds an alarm tone. If the system configuration includes a voice unit,
which has been defined as such, the dialer will not sound an alarm tone; instead
the voice message recorded on the voice unit will be heard.
The dialer terminates the calling cycle in the following circumstances:
The system was disarmed
All calls to the subscribers were completed (two calls to each subscriber)

1
Private dialer via GSM transmitter is supported with CAPTAIN-i version 5.5 and
up and GSM-100 version 2 and up

The circuit has four fuses: F1, F2, F3 and F4
Fuses F1 and F2 for Limiting Current:
The circuit contains two automatic thermal fuses
F1 - for the siren power supply (1.85A)
F2 - for the keypad and detectors power supply (750mA)
Fuses F3 (5A Fast) and F4 (1.6A Slow Blow) for Circuit Protection
Fuses F3 and F4 protect the battery and the transformer, respectively, against
high currents caused by card failure
Detailed Description of Connection Terminals
AC - Voltage Input: 14VAC input from the transformer. The cross-section
area of the main AC cable must be at least 0.75mm
2

Connection to Backup Battery: Two wires connect the back-up battery to the
PCB. The red wire connects to the positive (+) contact of the battery, and the
black wire connects to the negative (-) contact of the battery

IMPORTANT!
Ensure correct connections of battery contacts!!!
Wrong connection can damage the PCB.
Z1-Z6 - Zone Inputs: Zone inputs can be connected to all types of dry
contact detectors. Each zone can be programmed to be an EOL protected
zone (one or two EOL resistors)
(+V) - Detector Voltage: Power supply for detectors that require operating
voltage, such as: passive infrared detectors (PIR), ultrasonic detectors, etc.
The F2 automatic thermal fuse protects all the +V outputs


CAPTAIN-I, Intruder Alarm System, Installation Manual

SMOKE Voltage Output for Smoke Detector and Auxiliary Devices:
Switched minus power supply for smoke detectors that require reset for re-
arming. If a particular zone response is programmed as a smoke detector
(See section Zone responses on page 28), its activation will cause
disconnection of the power supply for certain duration of time, as
preprogrammed (See section Setting siren and smoke output parameters
on page 38). If there is no need for automatic reset (such as when several
detectors are installed in the same zone and you wish to see which one
caused the alarm), then reset may be done manually by pressing and
holding . This output can be programmed to work inversely, i.e.
normally disconnected and switched to () when activated
PGM Auxiliary Output: This is a general-purpose programmable output. It
can be programmed to follow either the system status (i.e. if status is ON,
the output is switched to GND; if status is OFF, it is disconnected) or follow
a siren output (if a siren is ON, the output is GND and if a siren is OFF, the
output is disconnected). For programming instructions see System
configuration 5 (config 5) on page 43 and Zone responses on page 28 for
further functions.
A microphone MIC-200 or Voice Unit VU-20 can be connected to this
output
SRN - Siren Output: This output is connected to the siren. Two sirens in
parallel may be connected with or without driver (See section Sirens on
page 16). The F1 automatic thermal fuse protects this output
KEYPAD - Connection to keypads: There are four terminals: () and (+V) for
voltage supply to the keypad, data OUT from the control panel to the
keypad and data IN from the keypad to the control panel. An automatic
thermal fuse F2 protects the voltage supply. Up to six keypads can be
connected in parallel.
PIMA supported keypads are: RX/N-406, RX-180, RX/N-200, RX/N-400, and
RX/N-410.

IMPORTANT!
Only one type of LED keypad (i.e. RX-130, RX-180, or RX/N-406) can be
connected to a system. RX/N-200 is an exception and when its Status LED is
used, it should be viewed as RX-180, otherwise it can be used with all keypad
types.

3.2.4 Keypad connection
Connect all four wires coming from the keypad to the keypad terminal block, i.e.
[-], [+V], [IN], and [OUT].

IMPORTANT!
The keypad power should NOT be shared with any other device!

NOTES:
It is very important that the keypad wires are not passed through the
same cable as the telephone wires. Doing this may cause the keypad
signal to interfere with the telephone wires.
Only one type of LED keypad (i.e. RX-180, or RX/N-406) can be
connected to a system. RX/N-200 is an exception and when its Status
LED is used, it should be viewed as RX-180, otherwise it can be used
with all keypad types.

Ch.4: SYSTEM
PROGRAMMING AND
OPERATION
4.1 General
The CAPTAIN-i is supplied with pre-programmed default parameters (see
Appendix A Default parameter table on page 59). In general, for a standard
installation, there is no need to change these parameters except for those that are
user-specific, such as telephone numbers to be dialed in the event of an alarm.
Some of the default parameters are:
Zone 1 delayed
Zone 2 entry delay
Entrance delay of 20 seconds and exit delay of 60 seconds
You can change the default parameters in one of four ways:
1. Manual programming using the LCD keypad;
2. Quick loading from the PRG-22 programmer, which connects to an
RX/N-400/410 keypad and lets you program one of four different, predefined
parameter groups (programs);
3. COMAX Up/Download remote programming with a PC and modem;
4. Local loading with a computer.
4.2 COMAX upload/download software
The CAPTAIN-i can be programmed remotely via a telephone line. This is
accomplished using an IBM PC compatible computer, a PIMA modem and the
COMAX software. The COMAX Upload/Download software enables
programming of all parameters, memory check, arming, disarming, etc. A
complete description and explanations are in the COMAX User Manual.

NOTE:
COMAX DOS version CANNOT be used to program CAPTAIN-i version 3.0
and up!


CAPTAIN-I, Intruder Alarm System, Installation Manual

4.3 Quick local programming using PRG-22
This type of programming can be done only via the installer menu and an LCD
Keypad. Connect the PRG-22 to the designated connector according to the
following drawing. In RX/N-400/410 LCD keypad models the RJ-11 connector is
internal, on the PCBs upper left side (see Accessing the programming RJ11 on
RX/N-4XX keypads on page 18 for detailed connection information).

IMPORTANT!
DO NOT connect the PRG-22 to an LED keypad. It may damage the
programmer.

4.6.1 Zone sensitivity
[ , the display will show "sens.", [ and enter the
desired zone sensitivity, then [
With the CAPTAIN-i, you may set the sensitivity level of each zone separately.
Zone sensitivity: The length of opening time of the magnet/detector after which
the zone causes an alarm. For a period less than this length of time, the opening
is ignored by the system. The minimum length of time that can be set is 0.05 sec.
(50 milliseconds) and the maximum length of time is 12.75 seconds. The zone
sensitivity is set in increments of 0.05 sec. (50 milliseconds).
For example, if you wish Zone 1 to respond to any opening longer than 200
milliseconds (=50 milliseconds x 4) and Zone 2 to respond to any opening longer
than 400 milliseconds (=50 milliseconds x 8), you program Zone 1 for sensitivity
4, and Zone 2 for sensitivity 8

display will show "Zone names", [
Up to 8 characters can be written for each zone. This name will appear in the
display of the LCD keypad when viewing the memory log, in cases of an alarm
caused by this zone. See Appendix C Entering names on page 68.
4.7 Communication parameters
4.7.1 Communication with the monitoring station
The CAPTAIN-i enables event reporting to the Central Monitoring Station (CMS)
by telephone, GSM, and/or radio.
A unique code can be programmed for each event in accordance with Monitoring
Station and/or customer requirements, such as a response code to tampering with
the box or to define zone number 5 as the zone connected to a Distress button. In
the latter case, it is possible to program the Monitoring Station reporting code,
telephone and/or radio, to report a distress event instead of a regular alarm by
programming the appropriate code.


CAPTAIN-I, Intruder Alarm System, Installation Manual
30



NOTE:
Each of the reports mentioned above depends upon the corresponding option
in the technician menu, i.e. for each type of event it is possible to include or
exclude reporting to the Monitoring Station.
For example, it is possible to cancel the reporting of arming/disarming using
the phone communicator leaving radio reporting unchanged.
If a fault event is reported to the Monitoring Station, the restoration of
serviceability will also be reported as an event. For example, in the case of a
low-battery fault, after the battery is re-charged Battery restore will be
reported to the Monitoring Station.
Each system/partition can be programmed with an account ID number of 1 to
9999 as well as the format types for telephone reporting and long-range radio
reporting.
4.7.2 Telephone communication with the CMS
Four telephone numbers to the Monitoring Station can be programmed, and the
order of connection attempts to the Monitoring Station will be in the same order as
programmed. Upon an unsuccessful connection attempt the system will try the
next telephone number and so on until connection is established. When
connection is established, the system will transmit to the Monitoring Station all
events that accumulated until that time.
4.7.3 GSM communication with the CMS
The GSM communicate with the CMS in the same manner the telephone
communicator does with the following optional differences:
When programmed, the GSM transmitter will use the account ID of the
radio channel
When programmed, the GSM transmitter will add the area code for
GSM number as programmed in the GSM programming screen
4.7.4 Radio communication with the CMS
The CAPTAIN-i enables radio (wireless) communication to the Monitoring
Station. The communication configuration is defined at installation.
The reporting options and their control are similar to those for telephone
communication with the Monitoring Station (see the preceding section). A separate
account number to the radio Monitoring Station may be set up.

The following screens program parameters for CMS reporting formats, accounts,
and test times.
4.7.5.1 Subscriber ID for partitions and/or double report
In this screen you program subscriber IDs for partitions and/or Double Report.
The CAPTAIN-i allows each Monitoring Station subscriber to be given a personal
customer ID for telephone communication and a number for radio
communication. These numbers, which can be the same number or two different
ones, identify the subscriber upon communication with the Monitoring Station. A
second personal customer ID can be programmed for double reporting, i.e.
reporting to two Monitoring Stations.
In case partitions are used, the second programmed ID will be used for the
second partition (see following table).

The CAPTAIN-i is capable of calling the Monitoring Station and reporting various
types of events. It is possible to program four different numbers (up to 16 digits
per number). The system begins to call the first number. If the connection is
unsuccessful, the system will try (8 trials) to dial the other numbers, until a
successful connection is made or until eight trials have been made. If a
successful connection is not established, a Communication Fault is recorded in
the memory and FAULT Led will blink.

NOTE:
If dialing is done through a switchboard and there is a digit to get an outside
line (usually 9), a 1-second delay between the dialing of that digit and the rest
of the number may be programmed by entering . For example, if the
number to be dialed via a switchboard is 03-5569313, the number should be
programmed as follows: 9*035569313

Ch.5: FAULTS AND
TROUBLESHOOTING
5.1 General
The CAPTAIN-i possesses many operating parameters and options. Some of the
system operations depend on the manner of programming, and if one of the
parameters is not programmed correctly, the operation depending on it will not
be executed. This chapter describes the faults displayed on the keypad and their
meanings, as well as various problems that may be encountered due to improper
programming, and options for troubleshooting the faults that can occur due to
incorrect installation and/or programming.
5.2 Faults displayed on the keypads
In the event of a system fault, the Fault lamp flashes. On the LCD keypad, a
description of the fault appears on the left side of the upper line in the display
area. On the SEVEN SEGMENT keypad, a description of the fault or faults
appears (and remains) in the alphanumeric display area. The following are the
faults displayed when they occur:

5.3 When the master code is unknown
To assure the user maximum protection and security, it is not possible to program
the system without entering the master code. When the master code is not
known, however (if it is forgotten, for example), the following operations must be
performed:
1. Disconnect mains AC voltage from the system
2. Open the control unit box
3. Disconnect the battery
4. Wait several seconds, connect the battery
5. Wait until the display with the clock appears on the keypad
6. Enter the factory default master code (5555)
