IRS-CB
3 - Introduction to the operation
The first part is aimed at familiarising the user with the Sicep BiTech System. It will be followed by a
section, which provides a detailed analysis of the operation of the unit.
3.1- The IRS-CB control panel
Building on the many years of experience in the design and manufacturing of radio systems, Sicep
has now designed an innovative antitheft control unit, fitted with an entirely bidirectional
communication system, called BiTech.
The use of state of the art technologies has resulted in the production of anti intrusion products,
which enable a constant analysis of the signals from the installed radio devices, and therefore a
constant monitoring by the operating control station.
This control unit incorporates a radio communicator which can be used for communication for
private use in the VHF or UHF range, for transmitting information to surveillance control units.
The main distinguishing features of the BiTech system are:
Modularity
It includes 8 wired inputs and one 868MHz two-way disturbance resistant radio, with GFSK
modulation, capable of handling Bi-directional communication with up to 32 wireless devices
(keypads, radio controlled sensors, passive infrared sensors, magnetic contacts etc.) and 4 REP
signal repeaters.
The Control unit can handle up to 4 independent partitions, as well as zones shared by several
partitions. The 8 available outputs can be programmed individually as: static, monostable and
inverted.
High level of security
Should no confirmation be received by the Control Unit, all radio devices can make several
attempts to communicate and ensure good transmission results.
The technology used enables the control unit to detect the prolonged absence of a radio device,
with a programmable time of 30 to 120 minutes, as well as frequency jamming attempts, by
continuously monitoring and generating an alarm, should prolonged disturbance occur
(programmable time 1 to 10 minutes).
Safe communication
Communications between the wireless device and the control unit are possible thanks to a
synchronised protocol with high speed dynamic encrypting. This synchronized technology
exchange enables dynamic two-way transmissions, absence of collisions and an optimum
distribution of radio traffic, as well as the possibility of extending the coverage of the radio devices
with up to 4 repeaters.
Reduce consumption and speed of reply
Thanks to the Bi-directional technology, the sensors remain in an “sleep” state when the system is
disabled, and only transmit the information when required by the control unit. This reduces costs
and at the same time increases the duration of the batteries.
The BiTech Control unit can activate all sensors in just a few seconds (approximately 4), ensuring
a promptness of system response, which can be compared to standard wired systems.

Pag. 8
IRS-CB
Cap. 3 - Introduction to the operation
3.4- Wired Inputs
The IRS-CB Control unit can manage 8 NC (Normally Close) / NA (Normally Open) / Double
balanced wired inputs and 8 Open Collector outputs.
The wired inputs can be used in balance mode and also in NC (Normally Close) / NA (Normally
Open) modes. Double balanced mode enables distinguishing between Alarm and Sabotage
(cable cut or short circuit).
3.5- Radio Communicator
The IRS-CB control unit incorporates a VHF (156-174 MHz) or UHF (440-470 MHz) 10 watt
transceiver, according to the model. This transceiver is configured as a fixed/mobile equipment for
private use, therefore its use is dependent upon a General Authorisation issued by the competent
authority.
The transceiver can operate with the following protocols:
- High speed MVS Sicep
- 6-channel low speed Sicep, new/old format
- Compatible 1
- Compatible 1 CRYPTO
- Compatible 2, 8 channels
- Compatible 2, 12 channels
- Compatible SIN 1, SIN 2, SIN 3
- Formats for crossing compatible REPs (5 protocols)
In the programming phase, a transmission channel must be associated to the events to transmit.
An exception is made for the high speed MVS Sicep protocol when it is used with MVSNet control
units. In this case, information is transmitted in a similar way to the telephone Contact-ID and the
control unit can transmit all the events completely.
A secondary reserve frequency is also available. When operating on this frequency, the control
unit can use a peripheral code which differs from the main one.
3.6- Telephone Backup
It is possible to install an optional telephone card (IF-TL) in the IRS-CB control unit which allows a
back up telephone transmission to be sent whenever the radio transmission is not successful.
Two telephone numbers are available. The control unit can also use separate peripheral codes
which differ according to the recipient.
This card is also able to detect if the line is cut and generate a specific event at the end of a
programmed time.
3.7- Wireless devices operation
Each BiTech control unit has its own serial number. This is univocally allocated during
manufacturing, and cannot be modified. This number identifies the system and ensures that each
sensor will only work with the equipment to which it has been assigned. The sensors will be
programmed automatically with a recording on the control unit itself, during the installation.
The following Wireless radio transmission devices are part of the BiTech system:
• Magnetic Sensor (BT-CMW)
multifunction device that operates the main magnetic contact, a shock detection sensor
(inertial), a rolling shutter contact and an auxiliary magnetic contact.

Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
5 - Operation: detailed description
Let's now look at each function of the control unit in details.
5.1- 4 Independent partitions- Zone sharing
The BiTech IRS-CB control unit includes 4 partitions. If delayed sensors are used, the Admission
and Learning times must be established for each of them. These times will be the same for all
sensors of the same partition.
All partitions have an automatic rearming function. This function can be activated by simply
entering a time different from 0 in the "AutoArm T." box.
Partition 4 can be used for the Patrol function
The BiTech system enables the use and management of zones shared by several partitions. Let's
see how they work by showing some simple examples.
S1
Zone 1
S3
Zone 3
A
Partition 1
C
B
Partition 2
S2
P
Zone 2
Two offices A and B have a common C corridor. To make things simple, this system only includes 3
sensors: one in office A, one in office B and one in the corridor.
The system is therefore divided in two partitions: partition 1 (office A) and partition 2 (office B);
sensor 1 (zone 1) only belongs to partition A and sensor 2 only belongs to partition B, while sensor
3 (zone 3) is shared and belongs both to partitions A and B.
Each user (A and B) can only arm/disarm their section of the system.
Let's now suppose that the start up condition is with both partitions disarmed.
To simplify things, all partition are instantaneous and can be excluded.
Case 1
- A user leaves and arms partition 1 (total), in NON Master mode. As zone 3 also belongs to a
non armed partition, zone 3 is not armed. Having shared zones in a non activated state,
partition 1 remains in the waiting condition. In this way user B can cross the corridor without
generating an alarm.
- User B leaves and arms partition 2 (total), in NON Master mode. This will also arm zone 3.
NOTICE
Note: If an intruder cause sensor 3 to trip, both partition 1 and partition 2 will
enter an alarm condition.
Case 2
- A user leaves and arms partition 1 (total), in Master mode. Although also belonging to a non
armed partition, zone 3 will also be activated. Partition 2 enters a waiting state, because at
least one of its zones is active.
Pag. 15
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
NOTICE
IRS-CB
Note: User B crossing the corridor will now generate an alarm. This type of
arming can be necessary when the Master user (the supervisor) wants to
ensure that all the system is armed.
Master or non Master arming mode depends on the password used (during the keypad
operations), or by the key used (operation using an arming device) or by the remote control.
During the programming operations, each password, key and remote control are associated with
an arming mode (Master or normal). This association can only be changed during programming.
5.2- 24h Partition
All the controls that are always active and capable of generating an alarm event, irrespective of
whether the partitions are armed or not, belong to the 24h partition. These include:
• Zone/devices disabling
• Wire devices sabotage (cable cuts or short circuit for balanced wired inputs).
• Bus485 devices tamper
• Wireless devices tamper
• Control Unit panel tamper (removal of cover and/or removal of control unit)
• Fire
• Panic
• Medical
• Control unit low battery level
• Wireless devices low battery level
• No power supply
• Wireless devices malfunction
• Bus485 devices loss
• Wireless devices jamming
• Duress
• Wrong password entered
• Invalid key detection
• Telephone Line fault
• Zone exclusion
• Alarm zone
• Maintenance
• Antenna cut
• 24H zone alarm

Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
5.3- Automatic Rearming function
All partitions can be automatically rearmed after a settable amount of time. To enable this function
the parameter "AutoArm T." on the page "System ⇒ Partitions" needs to be set to a value other
than 0.
The restoring of an alarm memory from any partition other than the Patrol partition will also delete
the Patrol partition memory.
If during automatic rearming of an partition, one or more of its zones are alarmed, the partition will
generate a Burglar Alarm event.
WARNING!
The panel control works in different way if you insert the system manually
or automatically with immediate zones in alarm.
ARMING MANUAL or disarming by REMOTE (MVSNet Central Station)
- If there are immediate zones in alarm auto-excluded, the panel
control denied the arming; repeating the operation the zone is
excluded and the area is armed. The state of the zone is now
dependent if programmed to self-include when it returns at rest or be
excluded until the next arming.
- If there are immediate zones in alarm and are not excludible, the
panel control denied the arming; even repeating the operation the
area can not be armed.
AUTOMATIC ARMING by time scheduler or area with time of arming.
- If there are immediate zones in alarm self-excluded, the panel control
forces the arming of the area excluding automatically the zone. The
state of the zone is now dependent if programmed to self-include
when it returns at rest or be excluded until the next arming.
- If there are immediate zones in alarm not excludible, the panel control
arms the area and immediately starts the alarm, the zone is active.
5.4- Patrol Partition function
Partition 4 can be dedicated to the Patrol function. This function is useful when support from a
Surveillance Unit for environmental control is agreed. The security guard of the Unit can access
certain zones belonging to this partition. Once disarmed, partition 4 will enable the Patrol user
(security guard) to carry out a patrolling of the partition. Once this has been completed, partition 4
can be either manually rearmed by the Patrol user or automatically rearmed after a set amount of
time.
In standard usage condition, the Patrol partition only has zones shared with other partitions and is
always armed. This ensures that:
- When the rest of the system is disarmed, the Patrol partition is in a waiting state.
- Once the system is armed, the Patrol partition becomes active.
- When the guard disarms the Patrol partition for inspection, only the zones belonging to the
Patrol partition will be disarmed.
Pag. 17
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
NOTICE
IRS-CB
Notes.
- The Patrol function can only be used after setting a Rearming Time different
from zero.
- If some of the shared zones are delayed, it may become necessary that
also this partition is delayed. In this case, input and output times of the Patrol
partition can be set equal to those of the shared zones.
If the Patrol function is not needed, set the Rearming Time to zero. By doing, so the partition will
behave like any other partitions.
5.5- Scheduler
The unit has a scheduler on a weekly basis with the following features:
• Up to 4 programs
• each program can be associated with one or more areas or one or more outputs
• each program allows n° 2 on / off daily and/or n° 2 activation/deactivation of outputs
associated
• Arming Total or Perimeter
• Management of day festival
• Up to 12 days of the fixed holidays (pre-set)
• Up to 12 days of variables holidays (pre-set)
The programmation may be done by MVC or wired keypad (Administrator menu).
5.6- Partitions Admission / Leaving times: Delayed zones
The BiTech control unit delayed zones use the times programmed for the partitions they belong to.
In other words, admission and leaving times of delayed zones are the same that have been set for
the partition they belong to.
A zone needs to be delayed if it needs alarming during the partition arming and disarming
operations.
Example: if the keypad is placed on the entry corridor and the door is fitted with a magnetic
contact, once the system has been armed the door will need opening for the user to
leave (leaving time) and once the user returns the door will have to be opened again
(admission time).
The two times operate as follow:
• Leaving time: the delayed sensors are ignored (they are not active).
• Admission time: delayed sensors alarms are memorized and will only generate
an alarm when the time has expired.
Due to its special operating procedure, the Wireless magnetic sensor will be discussed
in details later on.
Pag. 18
IRS-CB
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
5.7- Wired Inputs
The BiTech Control Unit includes 8 wired inputs. These zones can be used for the connection of
sensors using NC, NA or balanced modes.
NC Mode
When this mode is set, the input will be idle when short-circuited at the GND and in alarm condition
when open.
This cable connection set-up is much simpler, but it does not distinguish between a zone in alarm
condition and a zone in sabotage condition.
NA Mode
When this mode is set, the input will be idle when open and in alarm condition when short-circuited
at the GND.
Also this cabling set-up does not distinguish between a zone in alarm condition and a zone in
sabotage condition.
Balanced mode (dual balancing)
In this mode, the input is connected so that it is terminated, idle, at the GND by means of a 47KΩ
resistance. The different conditions, based on the input voltage, are listed in the table below.
Input state: Voltage
Cable-cut Sabotage: >2,7V
Alarm: 1,8 ÷ 2,7V
Rest: 1,24 ÷ 1,8V
Alarm: 0,5 ÷ 1,24V
Cable shorted sabotage: < 0,5V
For the cabling procedure refer to the installation section.
Mode Not Used
In this mode, the input (zone) is always at rest and is not reported as "zones Disabled" on the
keypad display.
Alarm Mode 24H
In this use the input (zone) is always active. The event generated (Zone Alarm 24H) moves in the
active state when at least one zone is in alarm 24H. If this event is associated the activation of an
output, this output can be programmed as static or impulsive; if it is static follows the plug (logical
OR between inputs 24H), while if it is impulsive it turns off after the programmed time.
5.8- Sensors block
This feature allows you to avoid false alarms caused by radiofrequency of the transmitter on the
inputs. Checking the appropriate parameters for each input, every time the radio communicator is
transmitting:
- all variations of the input are ignored for the set time (Sensors Block Time, default 10
seconds);
- BS output (Block Sensors) remains active for the duration of that time.
Pag. 19
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
IRS-CB
5.9- Zone exclusion - forced arming
On some occasions, upon arming of the system it will also be necessary to exclude an alarmed
zone.
Examples:
- a faulty sensor remains in a permanently alarmed state (and the system needs arming,
waiting for the replacement of the sensor);
- during the summer months, one may want to arm the system, while keeping a contact
protected window open.
A forced arming is the arming of the system when one or more zones are alarmed.
The system will notify that one or more zones are alarmed, and the arming procedure must be
repeated.
SPECIAL CASES OF ARMING WITH AN ALARMED ZONE SHARED BY MORE PARTITIONS:
• Delayed zone
• Non MASTER arming of an PARTITION other than the last one:
During the arming of the partitions it belongs to, the alarm condition is not notified and the
zone is not activated.
• Non MASTER arming of the last PARTITION:
During the arming of the partitions it belongs to, the alarm condition is not notified but the
zone is activated. Zone restore is required within the leaving time.
• MASTER arming of any partition:
During the arming of the partitions it belongs to, the alarm condition is not notified but the
zone is activated. Zone restore is required within the leaving time.
• Non delayed zone (that can or cannot be excluded)
• Non MASTER arming of an PARTITION other than the last one:
When alarming one of the partitions the zone belongs to, the zone alarm condition is
notified. The user is therefore obliged to continue with forced arming, even if the zone will
not be excluded or activated.
• Non MASTER arming of the last PARTITION:
When alarming one of the partitions the zone belongs to, the zone alarm condition is
notified. The user is therefore obliged to continue with forced arming and the zone will be
excluded and activated.
• MASTER arming of any PARTITION:
When alarming the partition the zone belongs to, the zone alarm condition is notified. The
user is therefore obliged to continue with forced arming and the zone will be excluded and
activated.
WARNING!
A delayed zone cannot be excluded (a control system prevents
exclusion).
NOTICE
Note. The balanced zones that are in the state of Sabotage are not considered
in alarm; is the same for the wireless sensors.
Each time a zone is excluded, the relevant event is generated.
Pag. 20
IRS-CB
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
5.10- Automatic re-including zones
For the exclusion of a zone, since version 1.0.4 you can choose the operation of the area in 3
different ways:
• NO (not auto-disabling zone)
The zone is not excludible through forced arming.
• Single
The zone excluded by a forced arming, remains excluded until the next arming.
• Auto
The zone excluded by a forced arming, turns back active automatically when at rest state.
All are valid only for wired inputs and for magnetic sensors (Door and Aux section).
5.11- Zone disabling
The manual exclusion of a zone (disabling), is an operation carried out using the keypad or from
the program. It makes the zone permanently non active. A disabled zone can be reactivated
using the same procedure.
Each time a zone is excluded, the relevant event is generated.
For more details on zone disabling refer to the section Keypad Operations.
5.12- Outputs
The BiTech control unit has 8 (expandible to 24) ground referred (GND) open collector outputs,
capable of driving up to 100mA.
The outputs can be either Static or monostable, depending on their use.
All outputs can be activated based on internal states of the control unit, to notify system Events
(refer to the section Events in the Programming chapter), or can be used as remote controls
activated by the Operating Centre. This operations can be carried out also using a telephone.
Outputs not used to notify system events can be used for remote control operation and be enabled
from the Operating Control Station or by telephone remote control. In the latter case, only outputs
1 to 8 can be used.
5.13- Wireless sensors
The BiTech IRS-CB control unit supports a special range of Wireless sensors and devices.
This is a proprietary synchronized radio system with time division, that enables obtaining a
continuous Bi-directional connection between the Control Unit and the devices.
Brief operation description
The BiTech system is based on a Sicep proprietary protocol. Communications are in synchronized
mode. This means that each device has its own “time window”, within a 2 seconds cycle, for
communication with the control unit. This brings special advantages:
• important savings on the battery, because each sensor only activates the receiver (and
transmitter) for a very short fraction of the cycle.
• real supervision of the sensors and sensor’s “intelligent” operation.
• total freedom from collision, resulting in optimum utilisation of the radio channel.
The BiTech system IRS-CB supports up to 28 devices (including several types of sensors, remote
controls and keypads) and a maximum of 4 repeaters, which can be used to reach the sensors and
devices positioned in less favourable locations.
Each Wireless sensor (with the exception of the REP), is powered by a 3.6 V AA Lithium battery.
Pag. 21
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
IRS-CB
System code or Serial Number
Each BiTech control unit has a unique serial number (generated at random rather than in
sequence), which is assigned during the manufacturing stage. This number identifies the
equipment, cannot be changed, and ensures that each sensor will only work with the equipment to
which it has been assigned.
It is nevertheless possible to delete a sensor from one equipment, and assign it to another one.
When a sensor is purchased, this can simply be assigned to the control unit using a simple
automatic procedure. No programming is necessary on the sensor as all operating parameters
are programmed on the control unit. Once the programming operation is completed, the control
unit will transfer the programmed information to the sensor.
5.14- Testing the Quality of the Connection
During the programming procedure, a diagnostic tools in the BiTech can be used to test the quality
of the radio connection.
How the test works
The control unit sends a series of information request messages of varying strengths to the testing
sensor. A conventional value from 0 to 100% will then be assigned depending on the confirmed
messages and the strength level used.
Connections equal or above 75% can be considered acceptable. Good connections are equal or
above 85%, while very good connections are 95% at least.
In the case of a test of an REP repeated device (or 2 cascaded REP), only the section between the
device and the closest REP is tested. For intermediate sections simply repeat the same test for the
two REP.
5.15- BT-IRW Indoor infrared sensor
This is a passive indoor infrared sensor with 12m coverage. Various types of lens are available,
depending on their use.
The sensor is powered by a 3.6V lithium battery and has an autonomy of 2 years.
Special parameters, such as the ones below, can be programmed from the control unit:
- Partition/s the sensor belongs to: associates the sensor to the desired partition.
- Enabling: enables deactivation of the sensor if needed.
- Internal: if enabled, the sensor only becomes active if the partition it belongs to is working in
total mode. Otherwise the sensor only operates as a perimetric sensor.
- Delayed: it defines if the operating mode is delayed (based on the times programmed for the
partition it belongs to) or immediate.
- Sensitivity: this parameter enables changing the sensor strength, increasing immunity to
false alarms.
- Number of pulses: This parameter is used to increase immunity to false alarms.
- Alarms: this is the number of alarm cycles it can generate. Once the limit has been reached,
the sensor will no longer generate alarms until the partition it belongs to is rearmed.
- Silent: if activated, the acoustic signal is inhibited when an alarm is generated.
- Test: if activated, when the sensor is alarmed, no alarm is generated. The only
acknowledgement is in the Synoptic (MVC programming) and the alarm is memorized in the
system log.
- Enable high consumption control: when this is enabled, the number of transmissions is
counted on a weekly basis and you are notified if the number exceeds the limit for normal use.
For more information please refer to the section entitled "Statistics" on page 59.

- As far as the assigning of the partition the sensor belongs to, the four detection sections are
grouped in pairs: “Door and Inertial“ and ”Rolling Shutter and Aux“ While the “Door and
Inertial” can be programmed as internal zones (either both or none), “Rolling Shutter and
Aux” can only be Perimetric zones. These two groups can also be assigned to different
partitions.
- Once it has given the alarm, the Rolling Shutter section has a rearming time of 5 seconds.
- Once it has given the alarm, the Inertial section has a rearming time of 5 seconds.
- If the “Door Delay” parameter has been activated on the device and the device belongs to an
partition with Input/Output times other than 0, only the main magnetic sensor is delayed
(DOOR)
A special case occurs when the magnetic sensor fitted on the entrance door of the house is
configured with the “Door Delay” parameter and the inertial has not been disabled. In this
situation, it is normal that when closing and opening the door, the inertial will initiate an alarm
event. This situation is resolved as follows:
1) Upon recognition of an abnormal condition of the inertial sensor (door shock), a 10 seconds
pre-alarm period will start, after which period the concerned partition will enter an alarm
condition.
2) Opening the door (main magnetic contact), will delete all preliminary alarm conditions due to
the inertial sensor of the device.
3) Upon closing the door (main magnetic contact) all alarms due to the inertial sensor will be
ignored for a period of 10 seconds.
4) All alarm situations caused by the inertial sensors after the 10 second period from the closing
of the door, will generate an alarm delayed by 10 seconds.
Pag. 24
IRS-CB
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
5) The inertial sensor is disabled if the partition it belongs to is disarmed.
By following these rules we can deduct that:
1) The inertial sensor generates an alarm 10 seconds after the shock, only if the door is not open
during this time.
2) The inertial sensor only becomes active 10 seconds after the door has closed.
NOTICE
Notes:
- A delayed device (DOOR/AUX) cannot be excluded.
- If the partition it belongs to is armed with the door contact open, the partition
will enter an alarm condition when entering or exiting.
- The alarm events counter (Infinite, 1, 3, 5) relates to the single event: for
example, if it is set on 3 alarms, 3 alarms will be counted independently for the
door, 3 for the rolling shutter, 3 for the inertial and 3 for the auxiliary contact.
- The sensor is always considered alarmed when at least one of the sections is
alarmed.
- If not used, the rolling shutter terminal blocks can be left unconnected,
while the AUX terminal blocks can be short-circuited or the AUX section of the
sensor can be simply disabled.
Special parameters, such as the ones below, can be programmed from the control unit:
- Enabling: enables deactivation of the sensor if needed.
- Partition/s the sensor belongs to: it associates the sensor to the desired partition. As
already shown, the four sections are grouped.
- Door Enabled: enable/disable the main magnetic contact (Door)
- Door Delay: it establishes if the operating mode of the main contact (DOOR) is delayed
(based on the times set for the partition it belongs to) or immediate.
- Internal (Door/Inertial): if enabled, the Door/Inertial sections only becomes active when the
partition they belong to is in Total mode. Otherwise all other sections operate as Perimetric
sections.
- Door Excludible (No, Single, Auto): if enabled, the main magnetic contact becomes
excludible (only if the sensor is not delayed).
- Auxiliary Enabled: Enables/Disables the terminal box input for auxiliary connection (AUX).
- Auxiliary Delay: it establishes if the operating mode of the auxiliary connection (AUX) is
delayed (based on the times set for the partition it belongs to) or immediate.
- Auxiliary Excludible (No, Single, Auto): if enabled, the auxiliary magnetic contact
becomes excludible.
- Number of Rolling Shutter pulses: this parameter is used to adjust the rolling shutter sensitivity.
- Rolling shutter restore time (seconds): the time after which, if the number of pulses
received is below the alarm threshold, the impulse counter is reset. The most suitable value
depending on the sensor used must be found.
- Test: the Test can be enabled separately for the four sections. Once activated, alarming of
the sensor for the section will not cause an alarm: the alarm will only be shown in the Synoptic
(MVC programming) and the alarm is memorized in the system log.
- Alarms: It sets the maximum number of alarms that can be generated by the sensor. Once
the limit has been reached, the partition the sensor belongs to needs to be disarmed and
rearmed to reactivate the sensor itself. Setting this function to “infinite” will disable it.
NOTICE
Note: Alarms are counted separately for each section (Door, Inertial, Rolling
shutter, Aux).

- Inert. Sensitivity: This parameter is used to adjust sensitivity, and therefore to increase
immunity to false alarms. It also enables deactivating the inertial.
- Bell: when enabled, an acoustic signal (beep) is generated by the wired keypads every time
the sensor is alarmed, even when the system is disarmed. This function will be extended to
the inertial if the partition the inertial belongs to is armed.
- Silent: if activated, the siren is inhibited when an alarm is generated.
- Enable high consumption control: when this is enabled, the number of transmissions is
counted on a weekly basis and you are notified if the number exceeds the limit for normal use.

5.19- BT-KPW Wireless keypad
This keypad is battery powered and therefore has the advantage of not needing cables. However
it has fewer functions than the cabled keypad. This keypad allows to:
• Arm/disarm all system Partitions
• Disable zones
• Make emergency calls (Fire, Panic, Medical) by pressing one button.
• Control the activation of a programmable output
• Test the sensors
• Switch the system to Maintenance mode (by using the special Installer’s password)
The display of the zones and users is by means of codes (e.g. zone1, zone2, user1 etc.) and not by
means of programmed names.
This keypad also has a special battery save function, which will switch it to a low consumption
mode 15 minutes after the last button is pressed.
In order to optimize consumption the Exit/Entry Time buzzer operates as follows:
- Entry time: always working, on all keypads.
- Exit time: only works on the radio keypad where arming was activated from.
For these operations refer to the user manual, in the Keypad Operations section.
Special parameters, such as the ones below, can be programmed from the control unit:
- Enabling: enables/disables the keypad.
- Visible partitions: these flags enable limiting the visibility of the partition state when the
keypad door is open.
- Quick arming: set the quick arming partition .
- Function Key: It assign the activation of the desired output to the key . The output can be
activated in bistable or Monostable
- Enable high consumption control: when this is enabled, the number of transmissions is
counted on a weekly basis and you are notified if the number exceeds the limit for normal use.

This means that if there is a system also using REPs, the remote control establishes the radio path
to follows based on its position at the time. In doing so, it will decide if to go or not through a REP.
It’s operation is similar to the keys: it is possible to know the state of only one partition, the
programmed one, and of course to also change its status. It also allows transmission of a
programmable alarm (e.g. panic), and activating of a programmable output.

5.21- BT-SIR radio siren
This is a self-powered viaradio siren for the BiTech system. Special improvements and use of a
3.6V 13Ah lithium battery help to minimize energy consumption and guarantee a lifespan of two
years before the battery needs to be replaced.
The flashing light comprises a high luminosity LED and the acoustic transducer is piezoelectric.
There are also the following anti-sabotage devices:
- Anti-opening and anti-removal device
- Anti-foam device
- Fire-prevention temperature control
- Inertial sensor for the burglary alarm circuit
There are three buttons:
- SIR. CHECK: press and hold for a few seconds to perform a visual/sound test on the siren.
- TEST: press to perform a radio connection test and to register/cancel the siren on the system.
- RESET: press to perform a general reset of the siren. The recorded settings will not be
cancelled.
The flashing light features a red LED for the alarm memory function.
As with other BiTech viaradio devices, the settings are programmed on the control unit. The
settings and functions are as follows:
- Alarm sound: allows you to choose from 4 sounds for the Burglary/Tampering alarms. The
fire alarm already has its own dedicated sound.
- Volume: three options.
- PART.(s): associates the activation of the siren to the required partition(s).
- Temperature threshold control: the siren sounds a tampering alarm when it detects a
sudden increase in temperature (about 30°C in 6-8 seconds).
- Anti-foam control: when enabled, the siren controls the closure of several microswitches at
the points where the sound is emitted.
- Burglar-proof sensitivity: enables and determines the sensitivity of the vibration control on
3 levels.
- Flashing light for alarm: enables the flashing light when there is an alarm (burglary,
tampering or fire).
- Flashing light for activated system: enables the red LED (it flashes twice every 6 seconds)
when at least one of the associated areas is activated.
- Alarm memory: enables the red LED (it flashes once every 3 seconds) when the siren
carries out an alarm cycle since the last deactivation. This function has priority over the
flashing light for activated system.
- Pre-alarm: if enabled, the pre-alarm flashes in a particular way during the admission time,
when a delayed sensor or area is in alarm mode.
- Test button: allows you to carry out a sound and light test on the siren.
5.22- BT-PRW wireless TAG reader
This device allows the access for the management of the system simply using special cards and
key, called TAG; it is able to manage all the functions of arm/disarm total or perimetric and of
opening door. It is powered by two lithium batteries 3.6 V and has an autonomy of 2 years.
The reader has 4 soft buttons to do the various operations, the keys are backlit with multi-colored
LEDs.
The reader allows you to arm and disarm the area according to the function associated to the TAG;
it is also possible enable or disable the feature of opening door. This function serves to activate an

5.23- BT-REP Radio Repeater
The BiTech system is compatible with repeaters (REP) for easy reach of sensor placed in non
favourable zones in relation to the control unit. Up to 4 REP can be used, including in cascade
mode (2 jump max for each section).
How they work
REP Repeaters are special units programmed to repeat the Wireless commands from BiTech
network devices placed in non favourable zones. REPs are powered by the 230Vac power supply
and contain two Ni-Mh emergency batteries (AC loss). These are recharged and tested regularly
following a procedure that ensures optimum usage (for example to eliminate the so-called
“memory effect”).
Each device that needs repeating must be recorded on the REP through which it needs to transit,
using a simple learning procedure. This ensures a fixed radio path and no collisions or pointless
repetitions on the radio channel.
Pag. 32
IRS-CB
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
The BiTech system supports up to 4 REPs, which can also be used in cascade mode, but only with
a maximum of 2 jumps for each section (see drawing).
Rep1
Rep2
Rep3
Rep4
How they are used
As already explained, each radio device (Keypad, Infrared sensor, Magnetic sensor, Remote
control) must be paired to the control unit. The same applies to the REP. Therefore each new REP
must be paired with the system.
All devices that will transit on the REP, will also have to be paired with the REP itself. This does not
however include remote controls, which have a special network access protocol that ensures that
they automatically look and follow the best path.
Let’s analyse this in more details, with some installation examples.
Example 1
- Let's pretend that we have installed the control unit and three
sensors, as shown in the picture. The sensors have been
registered on the control unit.
S3
S1
S2
C
- If we now test the quality of the connections, we realise that
sensor no. 3 is difficult to reach. We can therefore install a REP in
an intermediate position to reach sensor no. 3.
- We now need to test the signal quality of the REP to control unit
connection to ensure that the REP’s position can be reached
correctly.
- Once installed and paired to the control unit (REP 1), sensor 3
must be also paired to REP 1. This will ensure that sensor 3 will
only transit through REP 1.
- We now need to test the quality of the connection of sensor 3 and
the REP, to ensure that this is also satisfactory.

- Let's measure the signal quality (direct connection): the sensor
cannot be reached.
- We pair sensor 4 to REP1 so that the signal travels through the
sensor. Let's measure the quality again: it's still too low. We can
now install another REP (REP 2) and set a new jump. The
procedure is as follows:
- Record the new REP (REP2) on the control unit.
- Record REP 2 on REP 1
- Delete sensor 4 from REP 1.
- Record sensor 4 on REP 2.
We now need to recheck the quality of the signal for sensor 4, to ensure
that all is working correctly.

Notes:
- It is not permitted to register a device on a REP when the device has already
been recorded to another REP. Any attempts to do so will fail.
- Registering 3 REPs using in cascade is not permitted. Any attempts to do so
will result in the last registration to fail.
For the registration and cancellation of the devices on the REP, see the paragraph on page 62.
REP Features
The BT-REP includes an integrated power supply and two NI-Mh rechargeable buffer batteries. It
includes an anti tamper switch (tamper), some LEDs and tree buttons for its testing, recording and
cancellation, and for the testing, recording and cancellation of the connected devices.
AC Mains loss
The REP will warn of ac loss by sending relevant messages. These are also recorded in the
IRS-CB control unit event log. The event is generated in situations of power loss for 1 hour at least.
Radio jamming
The REP is capable of detecting and transmitting conditions of radio jamming in exactly the same
way as the IRS-CB control unit. The delay before generating the alarm is the same as the delay set
for the control unit.
Battery Test
A special and complex procedure ensures optimum charging of the batteries and the regular
testing of their capacity.

How the test works
The recharging stage is shown by the LED test:
LED
Battery
Test
Description
–
–
Flashing fast: Main recharge (impulsive)
Flashing slowly: maintenance recharge (duration 24 hours)
Each time the battery goes below 2.2V (nominal voltage 2.4V), recharging starts automatically.
Batteries are recharged in impulse mode (approx. 90 mA), for an amount of time depending on the
event initiating the recharging process (in case of full recharge: 16 hours). Once this process is
completed, full charge is achieved using 5mA maintenance power for 24 hours.
Every 30 days, if the power supply is present, the repeater will disconnect from the power supply
and for a certain amount of time will be fed from the battery. If during this process, the battery level
falls below 2.2V, a full recharging process starts or, at the end of the period, a recharging process
proportional to the consumption during the test will commence.
Forcing the batteries to charge
It is possible to manually force the battery to charge fully, by pressing the TEST+CANC buttons for
10 seconds. This is useful when the batteries are replaced.
5.24- Key reader
The BiTech control unit can use key readers in 2 different operating modes: Simple and Advanced.
These settings can be selected for each reader.
The operating mode of each reader is established by associating it or not to a specific partition.
Simple mode
In this mode, the reader is associated to a specific Partition and can only operate on that partition.
All operations can only be carried out using keys that have been programmed for that partition.
Displaying the reader status in Simple mode
(With this mode the reader is permanently associated to one partition).
Advanced Mode
In this mode the reader can operate on all partitions depending on the key used for access.

5.25- Keys
Up to 16 keys can be used. Each key must be assigned to a partition and the Master or Non Master
operating mode must be defined.
A security check will generate an alarm signal if a key not recognised by the system is entered
(Invalid Key event). Each key has its own individual id number. For this reason each key can also
be set to work on more BiTech systems.
Simple-mode key operations
Inserting a registered key in a reader will cause:
- Disarming of the partition, if the partition was armed (in total or perimetric mode):
- “Perimetric”, “total”, “disarmed”, rotation if the partition was unarmed.
By removing the key during rotation, the selected command will be executed and the result will be
displayed for a period of 3 seconds.
If a non registered key is inserted in the reader, no operation will be carried out (but the invalid key
event will be generated).
Advanced-mode key operations
When a registered key is inserted in a reader, the status of the partition the key relates to is
displayed.
Quickly removing and replacing the key (within 4 seconds from status display) will cause:
- Disarming of the partition, if the partition was armed (in total or perimetric mode):
- “Perimetric”, “total”, “disarmed”, rotation if the partition was disarmed.
By removing the key during rotation, the selected command will be executed and the result will be
displayed for a period of 3 seconds.

5.32- Events Log
This log can be accessed from the MVC PC programming or from the keypad. In this last case, an
event type filtering function is also available. Only the events for functions which can be assessed
with the access password used can be displayed.
Example:
5.33- Events
Disabled Zone/Device
This becomes active when at least one zone or device (wired or Wireless) has been disabled. This
applies both if the operation has been completed during MVC programming or from the keypad.
Partition Alarm 1..4
This becomes active when the relevant partition is alarmed. The event can only be generated if the
partition is armed.
If the event is associated with the activation of an output, the behaviour will be different depending
on its setting, static or Monostable:
- Static: The output deactivates after the siren sound.
- Monostable: The output disabled after the set time.
Arming/disarming of Partition 1..4
This becomes active when the relevant partition is armed in total mode. If the event is associated with
the activation of an output, the behaviour will be different depending on the setting, static or
Monostable:
- Static: the output deactivates when the partition is disarmed.
- Monostable the output is not stable; flashing will continue while the partition is armed. The
duration of the active state is equal to the set time.
Wire devices sabotage
It becomes active when a wired sensor with balanced connection enters a sabotage state (cut or
shorted cable).
RS485 Tamper
It becomes active when the Tamper of a wired device on the RS485 Bus is open (wired keypad,
BT-EX8 expansions).
RF sensors Tamper
It becomes active when the Tamper of a Wireless device is open (Wireless keypad, Siren, REP,
CMW, IRW and IRE sensor).
Panel tamper
It becomes active when the container of the IRS-CB Control Unit is open or the unit itself has been
removed from the wall.
Fire
It becomes active when the fire alarm is detected. If the event is associated with the activation of
an output, this is set to Monostable mode, because the event cannot be restored.
Pag. 43
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
IRS-CB
Panic
It becomes active when the panic alarm is detected. If the event is associated with the activation of
an output, this is set to Monostable mode, because the event cannot be restored.
Medical Attention
It becomes active when the medical attention alarm is detected. If the event is associated with the
activation of an output, this is set to Monostable mode, because the event cannot be restored.
Control Unit Battery
It becomes active when the power supply is missing and the battery is below the safety limit of 11V;
RF sensors Battery
It becomes active when the battery of a Wireless sensor is below the minimum safety limit. The
test is carried out during maximum consumption (sensor transmitting); the limits are as follows:
magnetic, Infrared sensors, Siren, Wireless keypad and TAG reader: 2.7V; remote control: 6V;
REP: 2V.
AC Mains loss
It becomes active when the power supply is missing for a period of time longer than the set time.
This only apply if the buffer battery is present. This event can be disabled by setting the time to 0.
Malfunctioning of the RF sensor
The sensor is activated when an RF device is in one of the modes described below. The "Critical"
and "Excessive Consumption" threshold checks take place at 00:00 every day and begin three
days after the device is installed.
For more information on this please refer to the paragraph entitled "Statistics" on page 59.
• ABSENT - the device has not been connected to the control unit for longer than the set time,
according to the Lost RF Device Recognition parameter. Reactivation occurs when the first
transmission arrives.
• CRITICAL - the device has transmitted less than 1000 presences in the last week, or a
significant percentage of the transmissions received (25%) is carried out via "Mesh"
packages. Reactivation occurs upon reaching 1100 weekly presences in the first case, or
when the percentage of "Mesh" packages drops below 20% of the weekly total.
• TOO MUCH CONSUMPTION: the device has made more than 2400 transmissions in the
past week. This control can be disabled for each device.
RS485 Loss
It becomes active when the control unit is unable to detect any communication with a device
connected to the RS485 BUS. It can be due to a device fault or a cable cut. The event is generated
within a few seconds from the detection of the fault.
RF jamming
It becomes active when the radio receiver detects a prolonged interference on the radio channel;
the event is generated at the expiry of the set time. This event can also be generated if the
interference is detected by a BT-REP repeater.
Duress
It becomes active when an Arming or Disarming operation is preceded by the relevant button. If
the event is associated with the activation of an output, this is set to Monostable mode, because
the event cannot be restored.
Wrong password
It becomes active after the wrong password has been entered for the fifth time. If the event is
associated with the activation of an output, this is set to Monostable mode, because the event
cannot be restored.
Pag. 44
IRS-CB
Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
Invalid key
It becomes active when a non registered key is inserted in a key reader; this event is initiated
immediately. If the event is associated with the activation of an output, this is set to Monostable
mode, because the event cannot be restored.
Tel. Line fault
It becomes active when a fault in the telephone line continues for a period of time exceeding the set
time. This event can be disabled by setting the time to 0.
Excluded zone
It is activated when one or more zones are excluded during activation (forced activation). If the
event is associated with the activation of an output, this is kept activated (static) until the area is
deactivated. There is no reset if the event is transmitted via the communicator.
Alarmed Zone
It becomes active when any non delayed zone or radio sensor enters the alarmed state. This
event can also be generated when the partitions are disarmed. It needs to be remembered that in
this case, both IRW sensors and the inertial section of magnetic sensors are disabled. This does
not apply when the system is in maintenance mode.
Maintenance
It becomes active when the control panel is in maintenance mode. The sirens and all
communicator are disabled. The keypad emits a beep every 10 seconds. All the radio devices
activate the red and green radio communication and alarm recognition LEDs. Once the panel
cover is closed, the control panel leaves automatically the maintenance mode after a minute. The
control panel can be set in maintenance mode only if all partitions are disarmed.
Antenna cut
The IRS-CB control unit has a triple Antenna Cut control: Antenna Resistance, Confirmation
Control, Reception Control.
In all cases, the Antenna Cut event causes the activation of an output or sends a transmission on
the telephone line (with optional card).
• Antenna Resistance: This control can only be used with "DC-Short" antennas. This type
of antenna results as being in short circuit for continuous current, so that by cutting the
sty lus or unscrew ing the antenna from the peripheral, the alarm is gen er ated
automatically.
• Confirmation Control: The peripheral checks that each transmission is followed by
confirmation from the Operational Control Unit (or from the REP it transits on). If the result
is negative, at the end of the repetitions, the antenna is considered cut.
• Reception Control: This control is particularly efficient for a very crowded radio channel
and is based on the assumption that the peripheral must receive a communication
between the Operational Control Unit and any peripheral (with programmed protocol)
within a set time limit.
As a consequence, each time the peripheral receives a transmission, the counter is
cleared and the count begins again.
If the time expires, the behaviour differs according to the protocol used. In the case of the
high speed MVS protocol, the peripheral makes a test transmission to the Operational
Control Unit. If the Control Unit confirms, timing is cleared, otherwise the antenna is
considered cut.
For all the other low speed protocols (Sicep, Compatible), it is not possible to make a test
transmission to the Operational Control Unit, therefore when the time expires, the antenna
will be considered cut.
Event 24H
It is active when at least one zone in 24H mode is in alarm. If this event is associated the activation
of an output, this output can be programmed as static or impulsive; if it is static follows the plug
(logical OR between inputs 24H), while if it is impulsive it turns off after the programmed time.

5.34- Other functions
Bell
A "bell" function is available. This can be enabled on any zone and warns of the alarmed status of
the zone by means of a "beep", even when the system is disarmed. For example, it can be
activated on the door magnetic contact to warn of its opening.
Fire, Panic, Medical attention
These functions make the associated zone a 24 hours zone and will send an event should an
alarm event be triggered. The activation of the siren can be associated to each of these events.
Temperature control
This control safeguards the final transmitter stage.
Each time that the peripheral has to transmit, the temperature of the final transisstor is controlled.
If this is between 80 and 100°C, the power is reduced by 1 step (e.g. if 10W is set, it is reduced to
5W). If the temperature is higher than 100°C, the power level is reduced to 1W.
Installation test
The IRS-CB control unit has a special help function for the installer. By pressing button P2, the
IRS-CB enters a mode in which the power in transmission mode is reduced to 1W and the signal in
reception mode is attenuated 10 times (10dB) for 6 minutes.
While this function is being activated, the REP LED flashes on the peripheral. The test may be
interrupted by pressing button P2 again.
Battery (Continuous Test)
The microprocessor measures the power voltage continuously. If the power supply unit is out of
order, when the voltage drops below 10.5V, the battery is considered low. The red BATT LED
comes on. When the voltage returns to 12.5V, reactivation occurs.
According to the protocol used, the following cases may arise:
- if using the high speed MVS protocol or a compatible protocol, the battery already has an
associated channel;
- if using the low speed Sicep protocol, it is necessary to associate the Battery event with a
channel from 1 to 6.
Warning!
If the battery is missing or results as being low from the periodic test,
reactivation depends on the latter.
Actual battery capacity (Periodic Test)
The peripheral performs a periodic test, connecting an appropriate load on the battery. If the
battery is missing or its capacity insufficient, the low battery report is transmitted (if associated with
a channel). In this condition, reactivation can only take place if the battery results as being in good
condition at the next test.
The test is performed at a frequency which can be programmed between 1 and 30 days. The test
can be interrupted or postponed if:
- Mains power is missing. The test is postponed by 1 hour;
- The temperature of the device exceeds 75°C. The test is suspended and resumes when the
temperature has dropped below 55°C.
Warning!
To replace the battery, consult the information in the Installation chapter
on page 54.

Cap. 5 - Operation: detailed description
SWR Measurement Function
This function is available from MVC programming and allows the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) to
be measured, thanks to the incorporated directional coupler. In this way, it is possible to optimise
the length of the antenna or its position until finding the minimum SWR value.
To take the measurement, set the transmission power to at least 5W and set the Type parameter
on the Radio Page to Radio Test (see page 103) and press the Test button.
Warning!
if the final transistor is kept in continuous transmission mode, it may heat
up excessively, therefore it is necessary to alternate pauses with the
measurements in order to allow cooling. In any case, a special function
automatically reduces the power when the temperature reaches 80°C.
CAUTION! to safeguard the final transmitter stage, the SWR must be
lower than 2.
5.35- Connected Siren
The BiTech control unit uses various types of siren:
Siren with balanced line control
The free contacts of a 1A relay (COM, NA, NC) are available for this siren.
Self-powered Siren
A relay output (SIR-A) is included for this type of siren, which provides a +12V power voltage,
which is missing during activation. The maximum power supply delivered is limited to 70mA.
Interior Siren
A relay output (SIR-I) is included for this type of siren, which provides a +12V supply during
activation. The maximum current delivered is 800mA. The output is protected with a self restoring
fuse.
The control unit includes a function that limits the activation time of the siren: each time the siren
goes on, the operating time is counted. When a maximum time of 20 minutes is reached due to
repeated alarms, the siren is disabled. Rearming occurs the first time one of the partitions is
disarmed.

Cap. 6 - Radio communicator and telephone backup
IRS-CB
6 - Radio communicator and telephone backup
This control unit can operate in various modes according to the type of radio protocol chosen and
the type of operational control unit to operate on.
MVS Protocol ⇒ MVS DATA9000 Operational Control Unit
In this mode, each event to be transmitted must be assigned to a transmission channel between 1
and 99.
It is advisable NOT to associate more than one event with the same transmission channel as, in
this case, there is ambiguity in establishing the state of the individual events. The transmission
channel, in fact, reassumes the state of 2 or more different events and the one which is in the alarm
state will prevail, even if others are at rest.
It is possible to enable/disable transmitting and reactivating the event. Not all events can be
reactivated.
When using this protocol, any transmission of backups on a telephone line takes place with the
MVS/ID protocol.
MVS Protocol ⇒ MvsNET Operational Control Unit
In this mode, each event is transmitted with the innovative BTMVS protocol, which allows the
Contact-ID information (event with an associated area, user or device) to be sent by radio vector.
This new protocol allows the management of new queries such as the Request for Anomalous
States.
When using this protocol, any transmission of backups on a telephone line takes place with the
standard Contact-ID protocol.
Low speed protocols (Low speed Sicep, Compatibles) ⇒ All operational control
units
With these protocols, each event to transmit can be associated with channels 1..6 (low speed
Sicep), channels 1..8 (compatible protocols) or channels 1..12 (compatible protocol 2, 12
channels) only.
It is advisable NOT to associate more than one event with the same transmission channel as, in
this case, there is ambiguity in establishing the state of the individual events. The transmission
channel, in fact, reassumes the state of 2 or more different events and the one which is in the alarm
state will prevail, even if others are at rest.
When using this protocol, any transmission of backups on a telephone line takes place with the
DTMF Ademco Superfast protocol.
Limits of use
• If a SD-RM concentrator (version lower than 4.2) is in use, it is not possible to use the BTMVS
protocol or send the quality of the signal received.
• In all the compatible protocols, it is not possible to transmit the absence of mains power via
telephone backup.
• Using the compatible 2 12 channel protocol, channels 9-12 cannot be transmitted via
telephone backup.
• It is only possible to receive the MVS/ID protocol with SD-CT, SD-T2 and DD-2 telephone
receivers.

Cap. 6 - Radio communicator and telephone backup
6.1- MVS Protocol Management on MVSNet Control Units
In this mode, the information transmitted by the communicator contains the same information
transported by the Contact-ID protocol, on both the radio and telephone vector.
Each message contains:
- the control unit identification number (peripheral code);
- a code which identifies the event, specifying whether it is an alarm or reactivation;
- the area it belongs to if this is significant in the message;
- a number which identifies the area or the user as shown in the table below:

- 501 or 601 is associated with the Administrator user depending on whether operation is from
the keyboard or key respectively.
- The identification numbers of RS 485 and radio devices depend on the number assigned
during programming: the third RS485 device will have 303 as its identification number, the
seventh 307.
Telephone Backup Management
If the optional IF-TL is installed, the control unit is able to transmit the reports on the telephone line
towards automatic telephone receivers.
According to the radio protocol set, transmission may take place with the following formats:
- Contact-ID
- MVS/ID
- DTMF Ademco Superfast.
The message is always only transmitted once the number of transmission attempts programmed
with the radio communicator, on both frequencies, has been made. At this point, a telephone
transmission to recipient number one is routed. If this recipient does not respond or does not
confirm receipt, at the end of the programmed attempts, the communicator moves on to telephone
number two.
It is not possible to send the telephone message to both recipients.
It is possible to use different peripheral codes according to the recipient of the message.
Pag. 49
Cap. 6 - Radio communicator and telephone backup
IRS-CB
In brief, in order to transmit any event, the communication priority is as follows:
- Radio communicator, main frequency;
- Radio communicator, secondary frequency (unless the number of programmed attempts is
zero);
- Telephone communicator, Backup 1 recipient;
- Telephone communicator, Backup 2 recipient;
The events are transmitted immediately via telephone backup only in the event that the control
unit has detected that the antenna has been cut, using the "antenna re-closed to earth control".

7.3- Choosing the location for installation of the control unit
• The chosen location must first of all respect the environmental characteristics shown on page
11; The IRS-CB control unit is declared IP30 therefore it cannot be installed outdoors. The
location must be dry and free from infiltrations of water and dust and sources of heat.
• The antenna should not be assembled outside the building in order to prevent the cable from
being cut.
• The control unit container is not resistant to attempts to break into it, therefore it is advisable
for the chosen location to be protected and that only authorised maintenance personnel have
access.
For optimum efficiency of the transceiver, the position of the antenna in relation to the surrounding
obstacles is fundamental:
• The upper floors of the building are preferable, in order to guarantee good radio range with
the antenna fixed to the device itself.
• installation is not recommended on reinforced concrete walls, in the immediate vicinity of
metal structures or in proximity to electric cables. Keep a minimum distance of 1.5 m.
• If there is no choice other than to install the control unit in the aforementioned situation, move
the position of the antenna using a 50 Ohm coaxial cable, easily found, as shown in the table:
Freq.
Up to 5mt
From 5 to 10mt

• The antenna can be fixed in its new position using the special ST-L/N support bracket.
• To use the BiTech wireless sensors in the best way possible, do not install the devices in
places which are particularly shielded (e.g. buildings whose walls are entirely made from
reinforced concrete etc.).
Installation Test Function (TX/RX Attenuation)
The IRS-CB control unit has a special help function for the installer. By pressing button P2, the
IRS-CB enters a mode in which the power in transmission mode is reduced to 1W and the signal in
reception mode is attenuated 10 times (10dB) for 6 minutes.
While this function is being activated, the REP LED flashes on the peripheral. The test may be
interrupted by pressing button P2 again.
SWR Measurement Function
This function is available from MVC programming and allows the SWR (Standing Wave Ratio) to
be measured, thanks to the incorporated directional coupler. In this way, it is possible to optimise
the length of the antenna or its position until finding the minimum SWR value.
To take the measurement, hold down button P1 on the peripheral in order to keep it in transmission
mode.
WARNING!
if the final transistor is kept in continuous transmission mode, it may heat
up excessively, therefore it is necessary to alternate pauses with the
measurements in order to allow cooling. In any case, a special function
automatically reduces the power when the temperature reaches 80°C.

To determine the exact point where the control unit must be fixed, proceed as follows:
• Power the device (preferably using batteries), program the frequencies and the protocol to
use (including any REP/repeater bridges on which it must transmit);
• Enter MVC programming mode;
• Press button P2 to activate the attenuation function. The REP LED must start to flash;
• Press button P1 (Connection Test). The peripheral will make a transmission to the
operational control unit.
• Read the signal value (RSSI parameter, last valid RX) on the General MVC programming
page.

• Move the peripheral to another position and repeat the operation until you find the one
where it receives the maximum signal. Ensure that the REP LED is still flashing. If it is not,
press button P2 again. The final reception value, when the attenuation function is active,
must not be under 25 (UHF) or 32 (VHF), i.e. 5µv in normal conditions and 0.5µv when the
Installation Test function is active.
This procedure ensures a reasonable margin as regards the level of the radio signal.
- Fix the control unit to the wall in the chosen position, using four screws with a diameter of
4mm.
- As the IRS-CB control unit does not have a switch, must be installed a bipolar disconnector
(switch) with contact opening of at least 3mm.
- Connect the power supply cable as indicated in the drawing, GROUND cable
Yellow/Green
through the round hole near the terminal block.
- Connect the yellow/green protective earth wire to the power
supply central terminal;
- Fix the cable using the designated detachable plastic cable clip

NOTICE
Cap. 7 - Installation
Note. The anti-intrusion BiTech uses a two-way radio technology that allows
you to monitor the efficiency of devices connected to ensure maximum security
of the entire plant. In this light, the system can highlight the critical links between
the radio unit and sensors due the environment in which it is installed.
These weaknesses are mainly due to unavoidable reflections and multiple
paths that the radio signal within the environment suffers.
Therefore, the loss and the restoring of radio devices, if it occurs repeatedly, it
must be regarded as an index ranking "critical" between the device and the unit.
The problem can be solved in different ways: it might be sufficient to place the
device in a critical position different from the original, alternatively improve the
quality of the radio signal using a REP between the device and the control unit.
The radio connection test must always be carried out for each sensor during
installation; The value obtained offers an indication of the signal after the test is
completed, but does not give 100% guarantee that this level of performance will
be maintained over time. This is because no environment can be considered
static from a “radio transmission” point of view.
A critical installation of a radio device can affect the battery life of the device as
being difficult to connect with the radio unit, because it will require multiple
transmissions to ensure the proper dialogue.

7.19- Statistics - Periodic checking of the devices
Each radio device (apart from the REPs and remote controls) has its own page on which are given
the statistics on communications. These data are used to signal any malfunctioning of the RF
sensor.
The system performs an assessment based on the information provided over the past week of
operation. The data are updated every day at 00:00.
Presences: this is the number of packets of device presence transmitted to the Control Panel. In
optimal conditions, there should be between 1000 and 1350 transmissions per week.
State: this is the number of packets for a state change transmitted by the device (opening and
closing of the main contact, auxiliary or tamper switch, movement of the inertial or PIR sensor,
etc.)
Mesh: this is the number of packets sent to the Control Panel using other RF devices that act as
REP. This occurs automatically when the sensor does not receive confirmation from the Control
Panel.
Total: this is the sum of the three previous numbers, all calculated in the last week of operation.
TX N.: this is the sum of all the packages the device has transmitted since it was installed.
Days: this is the number of days since the device was installed.
This data and the sensor loss check are used to determine any RF Sensor Malfunctions. A
malfunction can be caused by the following:
• ABSENT - the device has not been connected to the control unit for longer than the set time,
according to the Lost RF Device Recognition parameter. Reactivation occurs when the first
transmission arrives.
• CRITICAL - the device has transmitted fewer than 1000 presences in the last week, or a
significant percentage of the transmissions received (25%) is carried out via "Mesh"
packages. Reactivation occurs upon reaching 1100 weekly presences in the first case, or
when the percentage of "Mesh" packages drops below 20% of the weekly total.
• EXCESSIVE CONSUMPTION: the device has made more than 2400 transmissions in the
last week. This can indicate that the device is in a critical position and many repetitions are
last required. Alternatively, the device is in a position where it carries out many status
transmissions, for instance in the case of a door that is opened many times per day.This
control can be disabled for each device.
You are advised to check the progress of the statistics on a regular basis.
WARNING.
The "Mesh" mode is an emergency situation that compromises the
durability of the battery for all the devices concerned. If a sensor sends
many packages of this type, you should therefore install one or more
REPs

8.3- Control Unit Configuration
The MVC software
The BiTech system IRS-CB is programmed using the MVC Sicep PC software.
The MVC Sicep application (Multi Vectorial Configuration) is a Client type program developed for
the configuration of all New generation Sicep equipments. Graphic screen, contained in the unit to
be programmed enable to configure the parameters in a simple, intuitive way, both locally and
remotely.
The Sicep MVC software is updated regularly and can be downloaded free of charge from the
www.sicep.it website.
WARNING!
You need version 1.20 or later of the MVC software
WARNING!
Remember that all text fields in the various programming pages (e.g.
User Name, Zones, Partitions etc.) can accept any type of character.
However, in order to maintain compatibility with the keypad, all
characters will be automatically converted. Example: BiTéçh ⇒ BiTech
Two types of connection are possible: via serial power (COM) or via USB. In the latter case, it will
be necessary to install the drivers the first time connection takes place.
These drivers can be supplied on CD or floppy disc. They are also available on the Sicep S.p.A
website.
How to identify the USB COM port
Once the drivers have been installed correctly, the USB interface is seen as an additional COM
port. To find the number assigned to the port, follow this sequence of operations:
Click on Launch Button → Settings,
Control Panel → System → Hardware,
Managing Peripherals or Devices → Ports (COM and LPT).
The port we are looking for is called "USB CDC serial port emulation".

IRS-CB
• Burglar: The zone generates an alarm only when the partition, or the partitions it belongs
to, are armed. This is the normal operating mode (burglar alarm).
• Fire: The zone is active 24 hours and generates a fire alarm.
• Panic: The zone is active 24 hours and generates a Panic alarm.
• Medical: The zone is active 24 hours and generates a Medical Attention alarm.
• Arm./Disarm.: The terminal block is used to arm/disarm the partition in total mode.
Example: terminal block1 ⇒ partition1, terminal block4 ⇒ partition4.
The activation is a monostable activation on the input side and can also be used in
balanced mode.
• Alarm 24H: The zone is active 24 hours and generates a “Alarm 24H”.

IMPULSE - NUMBER OF IMPACT
The sensitivity level can be set between 1 and 7. The special algorithm used by the sensor,
ensures that the alarm generated for each sensitivity level depends both on the shock
intensity and the number of impacts closed together (within a few seconds).
For example, by selecting a sensitivity level of 2, the alarm is generated when there are:
• 5 "strong" impacts
• approx. 7 "medium" impacts
• 8 "weak" impacts
For this reason, it is recommended that the highest sensitivity values should be used to
protect non tempered glass and lower sensitive values to protect walls or gates.

8.8- Checking the Installation
Once the installation, the cable connection and the set-up of the BiTech system are completed, it's
necessary to check that they are working correctly.
There are many possible testing procedures, depending on the size and the functions the system
must satisfy. What follows is only the basic procedure. This is just a general procedure, which
should be adapted by the installing technician, depending on the system set-up. For more
information and a more detailed analysis refer to CEI 79-3 standard.
Control Unit Test
- Check the arming/disarming function using all the installed devices, such as wired keypads,
-
wireless keypads, remote controls, key and all key readers. In details check that all
programmed partitions can be armed using all access passwords and all registered keys.
Check that all acoustic signals indicating the completed arming/disarming of the partitions
are adequate.
Check that the Admission and Leaving times are suitable (if delayed zones are present).
Check the Communicator section. Try and send Duress, Fire, Medical Attention and Panic
alarms using the buttons on the keypad.
Check that the control unit Tamper is working, including local programmed signals (e.g.
activation of the sirens).
Check the operation of the control unit without mains power supply (using the buffer battery).
Check the zones disabling function from the keypad.
Check all outputs used by the Control Devices.
Check the Events Log for consistency.
Check that once the arming system has been set up, all zones are in the sleep condition.
Sensor Test
- Check that all installed sensors can be armed. Do this by switching the control unit to
Maintenance mode, and alarm all installed sensors one by one. Check their alarmed state in
the Synoptic.
- If any passive infrared sensors (IRW, IRE) are installed, check their range and alarming
capabilities by carrying out a “Walk test”.
- Check the quality of the radio connection for all installed Wireless sensor. If at all possible,
several attempts should be carried out. The quality should not be lower than 75.

10- System Maintenance
The good working order of the system should be checked regularly, at least every 6 months.
In particular, is important to check the efficiency of the acoustic signal (siren) and the
communicator. All sensors should also be tested (for further details refer to CEI 79-3 standards).
10.1- Replacing the control unit Battery
Replace the buffer battery when its life span is exhausted. This operation should be carried out
with the control unit connected to the mains power supply.
NOTICE
Note: Before removing the cover, switch the control unit to Maintenance mode.
10.2- Replacing the sensors/devices batteries
NOTICE
Before opening the sensor, always switch the control unit in Maintenance
mode.
Replace the battery paying attention to polarity.
Remember that:
• BT-KPW (Wireless keypad), BT-CMW (Magnetic contact), BT-IRW, BT-IRE (infrared
sensor), BT-PRW devices use AA 3.6V Lithium batteries (Sicep code BAT-LILS14500);
• REPs use AA 1,2V Ni-Mh batteries (Sicep code BAT-NC1E2/AA);
• the BT-KT remote control uses one 23AE 12V battery (Sicep code BAT-BA-12/ST).
• The BT-SIR siren is powered by a 3.6V 13Ah lithium battery (Sicep code: BAT-LILSH20/01).
Batteries are not classified as SUW and should be disposed of in accordance with local
separate collection regulations.
