1.4
Outputs and Output Types
HUNTER-PRO 896 brings a new concept, with regard to triggering the outputs: instead
of direct alarm-to-output single linkage, i.e., a certain alarm type can trigger only one
PCB output, new functions called output types will determine the response to events
in the system.
Some output types have names that resemble the zone type that generates them, like
Fire, Burglary & Anti-mask. Some have event driven names such as Zone opened,
Tamper (opened) & Buzzer. The advantage is in the fact that responding is fully
programmed, i.e., you determine which PCB output will be triggered.
Each PCB output can be programmed to be triggered by a certain output type. It can
only be triggered by one output type, yet, as many as all the PCB outputs can be
triggered by the same output type. Since that, all the PCB outputs triggered by the
same output type will be tripped when that output type is triggered, regardless the
zone it came from. So, for example, if you program the RELAY, ON/OFF and ALRM
outputs to be triggered by the Fire output type, when this output type is triggered, all
the 3 outputs will be tripped.
Example for the use of output type:
If the PCB relay output is linked to Panic output type, than triggering the Panic
output type will trip the relay output. If zone 5 is programmed as panic zone type, than
alarm generated by zone 5 will trip the relay (that applies to a keypad panic alarm
[pressing simultaneously
and
] too).
PARTITIONING
2.1
Introduction
13
A partition is a sub-division of the system, made of several zones. By using partitions

you can control user access authorizations. Each partition can be controlled by one or
more keypads and a user can be given a code that will allow him to control only a
specific partition in a specified time frame.
HUNTER-PRO 896 can have up to 16 partitions and up to 8 keypads (i.e. monitored
keypads).

A floor in an office building has 16

rooms. Each room is programmed as
a partition and can have different
User Codes/Remote Controls/TAGs
for arming/disarming the system. A
single keypad is installed at the
entrance of the hallway.
In this case, the keypad will display the entire systems status.
A detector located next to the entrance and allocated to all partitions protects the
entrance, as soon as all partitions are armed. This zone will be unarmed as soon as the
first partition is disarmed.

The system is divided into X partitions, each partition is controlled by its keypad/s
(defined in System Installation/Keypads Setup/Partitions for RKD). A User Code has
access authorizations based on partition/s (defined in User Menu/Code/User
Codes/Partitioning), e.g. User 1 can only activate Partition 1 & 5. That implies for
arming/disarming too.
A keypad displays the status of its authorized partitions only.

Connecting Zone Expanders
The HUNTER-PRO 896 has a basic 8 zones configuration. This can be expanded to
have more zones and outputs by using different expansion cards and add-on devices.
The following is a brief scan of the zone and outputs expansion options. A detailed
installation description is found further on.
EXP-PRO
Local expansion card with 8 line zones. These zones will always be
numbered 9-16. See further on page 20.
I/O-8N
8 zones and a relay. It connects to the KEYPAD connections of the
control panels PCB. Up to 11 I/O-8N cards can be installed in HUNTERPRO 896.
I/O-16N
Expansion card with 16 zones and a relay. It connects to the KEYPAD
connections of the control panels PCB. Up to 5 I/O-16N cards can be
installed in HUNTER-PRO 896.
I/O-WN
Wireless expansion card with wireless receiver. The receiver supports 32
wireless zones as well as 24 Key fobs for arming/disarming, send duress
code and control an output.
OUT-1000 Expansion card with 8 outputs for triggering external units. See page 28
for connecting instructions.
I/O-R
Expansion card with 8 relays for operating CCTV and spotlights. The
relays can be triggered directly or as a respond to alarm. See more on
page 28.
IMPORTANT! When connecting both line and wireless expanders, the system
first numbers the line zones and only than the wireless zones. Within the
line expanders, the system first numbers the EXP-PRO expander, if installed.
Only afterwards the other expanders are numbered.
The expanders connected through the BUS are numbered in ascending order
according to their ID.
Examples of zone numbering:
One I/O-8N/R card:
If EXP-PRO is installed: is numbered 17-24.
If EXP-PRO is not installed: is numbered 9-16 (when installed, EXP-PRO is

always numbered 9-16).
Two I/O-8N/R cards (16 zones):
If EXP-PRO is installed: are numbered 17-32.
If EXP-PRO is not installed: are numbered 9-24.

11 I/O-8N cards (88 zones):
No EXP-PRO card can be installed! (zone number cannot exceed 96)
Zones will be numbered 9-96: 8 zones onboard and 11 times 8 zones (88) on
each I/O-8N card.
20
Two I/O-16N cards (32 zones)

Zones are numbered as if two I/O-8N cards are installed, therefore, the zones are
numbered 17-32 if EXP-Pro card is installed, and 9-24 if not.
One I/O-WN card (32 wireless zones):
If any other expansion card is installed, EXP-PRO or I/O-8/16, the I/O-WN zones will
be numbered after all the other zones. For example, If EXP-PRO and 2 I/O-8N cards
are installed (24 zones in all, and 32 with the 8 onboard), the I/O-WN zones will be
numbered 33-64.
3.2.1
Tamper #2 Input Optional zone #9
Tamper #2 input can serve as Zone #9, giving no expander is attached to the system

Sirens
Three siren types can be connected to the HUNTER-PRO 896 control panel:
1. AC Siren: This is usually a horn or 8 speaker that is driven by the control
panels built-in oscillator.
Note: The AC siren can produce two different tones (frequencies). The tones are
predetermined. To set zone tone see section 5.3.
26
2. Low current DC Siren: This is usually 200mA piazzo siren. The control panel
supplies current only for activation.
3. High current DC Siren: This can be a bell or any other high current device
with internal oscillator. The control panel supplies 3A for activation only.
The sirens outputs are split: JP5 is associated with Ext. (external) output; JP10 is
associated with Int. (internal) output.
IMPORTANT!
1. Different siren types cannot be connected simultaneously.
2. Activating solely the external siren is disabled.
3.6.1
AC Siren
The siren is connected between the terminal block outputs (Ext. or Int.) and GND (-).
Make sure the siren is not set as DC (see section 5.6.1). Set Jumpers JP5, JP6 & JP10
to short legs 2 and 3 (see Figure 15).
The sirens sound is produced by a built-in oscillator and
programmed in Zone Responses menu. When zone type
is programmed, a different siren tone to different zone
types can be set (see section 5.3.2).

Report Codes Formats

PSTN Report Codes
The systems default report codes are in ContactID format (which includes PAF &
NPAF). If the FF codes are not changed, reports are Contact ID standards: Burglary,
Fire, etc. To send other codes do as follows: subtract 100 from the event number (in
ContactID) and Convert the result to hexadecimal number.
For example: to send High Temperature event, no. 158: 158 less 100 is 58. 58
converted to Hex. is 3A. So, by sending the code 3A you report on high temperature
(in Contact ID).
The restore code must match the alarm code.

Each mode can be set to one of four channels: Voice, Data, GPRS or SMS3.
When setting a mode to data channel, for example, the transmitter waits for data
format information and not other.
The Data channel can be used by COMAX for uploading and downloading. To do that,
the GSM-200 SIM must have a second phone number.
If both MSs are connected using GPRS, the second channel will be used to report
to MS2.
GSM-200 and SMS-100 cannot be installed in the same system.

HUNTER-PRO 896 has three types of output trip times:
1. Output trip time 0: the output is tripped until next system disarming.
2. Output trip time 1-9998: the output trip time in seconds.
3. Output trip time 9999: the output is tripped for as long as an output type (see
further) is triggered. For example, one may want to trigger a relay output when
and for long as a fault occurs, e.g. mains fault. As soon as the fault is resolved the
output is switched off.

** Zone Open Hold time is an energy saving feature: use it to turn off air conditions or
lights at the end of the day.
It is a timer that works in conjunction with the Zone Opened output type: normally,
a PCB output that is triggered by Zone Opened output type is closed as soon as the
final zone of the output partitions is closed. But when setting the Zone Open Hold
time it will remain opened for that time, and only if no movement had been
detected by the motion detectors, the PCB output will be closed.

Burglary Report Delay
. Report on burglary alarm occurring within entry delay will be delayed for the
period set in this menu. If the system is disarmed during this period, the report will not
be sent at all. If the burglary delay or entry delay is over and the system is armed, a
burglary report is sent. This reduces unnecessary reports.
5.5.6
Soak Test Days
. Set the number of days a zone (mostly, a zone that causes false alarms) will
be tested. During this period of time, any events initiated by the zone will neither be
reported to MS nor trigger the alarm/private dialer, etc, but will be displayed in the
Fast display. The events will only be recorded in the memory log.
Max time is 7 days. After this period of time, the zone will automatically return to
normal operation. If set to 0 the zone returns to normal operation at midnight of the
same day.
Note: In PIMA display, the letter T indicates a zone undergoing a test.
5.5.7
Double Knock
. Set the Double Knock time (in seconds). Double Knock is a feature used for
reducing false alarms in specified zones. In order for a zone configured as double
knock to trigger am alarm, it must detect two violations in a predetermined time set in
this screen (see Zone Programming section 5.3).
IMPORTANT!
If one of the zones set as Double Knock remains open, alarm will be
triggered in the pre-set time.
5.5.8
Conditioned Zones Time
. Set the time span (in seconds) it takes a conditioned zone to be activated. For
example, if zone 1 and 2 are conditioned together, and only zone 1 is opened, no
alarm will be generated. Only if both zones are opened within a predetermined period
of time, set in this screen, an alarm will be generated (see Zone Programming section
5.3).
5.5.9
Bypass Limit Time
. Set the time (in minutes) in which a zone remains bypassed before it is
automatically released and becomes armed again. This protects against burglary
preparation by bypassing zones before the system is armed.
5.5.10
False Code
. Set the number of allowed false code entries (max 24), before the system
reports the MS, presents False Code message and react according to the
configurations in System Responses menu (see System Responses, section 5.7).
62
5.5.11
Inactivity Report
. This feature is an indication if the system has been inactive (not armed) for

Ext. Siren and Int. Siren Outputs
These 2 PCB outputs distinct, due to the following reasons:

1. Theyre both high current outputs.
2. They can trigger any speaker siren.
3. Ext. Siren output can be triggered only when Int. Siren output is. In other words,
activating sirens in HUNTER-PRO 896 can be done in one of three ways: Both
internal and External, internal only, no siren.
Note: It is advisable not to associate only External Siren and Internal Siren to these
two outputs (this is the default programming).
You can, however, associate the external and internal output types to any other PCB
output, but then the sirens must be DC sirens (i.e. contain a built-in oscillator).

output type will trigger it. In this case, the default output type is Armed, so when the
system is armed, this output is triggered. Then you determine from within which
partition/s this output can be triggered. Then you set the rest.

This feature lets you to test directly every output connected to the system - local and
remote. Pressing
triggers the output for 10 seconds. Pressing
ends the test.
Testing the outputs has a great advantage - it allows the installer to define between
connection problems and programming faults: if a device does not work properly but is
triggered by the output test, than the problem lays with programming (or the device
itself) and not connection.
On the other hand, failing to trigger the external siren (for example) through the
output test, indicates a connection or other-than-programming problem.

TROUBLESHOOTING
This chapter describes failures displayed on the keypad, various problems that may be
encountered due to improper programming, and options for troubleshooting failures
that might occur due to incorrect installation and/or programming.
7.1
Restoring Master & Installer Codes
In case both codes are not available:

!
Disconnect mains.
Disconnect battery.
Wait 10 seconds and reconnect battery.
Wait for Clock Not Set to display.
Enter the default Master code (5555).
Set a new Master code (the former code is not valid anymore).
Connect mains.
Set time & date.
Note: After connecting power, the system enables access to the menu using the
default code (5555) for 30 seconds only. If access does not occur during this time, the
process needs to be repeated
The process is also useful for Installer code (Default code 1234), with the
exception of a code that starts with zero. In this case the code cannot be reset.
7.2
Faults Displayed on the LCD
In case of a fault, the red fault LED on the keypad blinks. The description of the fault
appears on the first line of the LCD Keypad at the right side. The faults are:
