Security System L208
1 Security System L208
1.1 General Description The L208 security system is a modern, easy to use, bus technology alarm
system based around the compact intrusion alarm panel L208. This highly
versatile alarm panel, which can be fully programmed, can be configured to
comply with the VdS (German Association of Property Insurers) guidelines
for security systems class A, B or C as well as the Standards DIN/VDE 0100,
0800 and 0833, depending on the choice of peripheral bus components
connected to it.
The intrusion alarm panel L208 itself possesses no display or control
elements and is operated via up to 3 remote keypads connected to the XIB
security bus (eXtended Interface Bus). Two types of keypads are available;
an LED keypad allowing simple display and control functions to be carried
out, or an LCD keypad that can display text messages, allow complex
control functions to be carried out and permit the intrusion alarm panel to be
fully reprogrammed. An arming module can be connected to the XIB bus for
security systems requiring a VdS class C setting installation. A range of
additional output modules and interfaces are also available to allow external
communication with, for example, EIB installations, display panels or allow
remote programming of the system.
The intrusion alarm panel housing contains, in addition to the L208 main
printed circuit board and power supply, space for two 12V / 7Ah batteries
and various L208 system components, e.g., an EIB interface.
The alarm panel is supplied with a default programming enabling it to be
installed and put into operation immediately using just the LED keypad.
Individual functions can be reprogrammed using the LCD keypad, which can
be permanently integrated into the security system or temporarily connected
by the engineer for the duration of the programming or servicing.
Alternatively, the alarm panel can also be programmed using a PC and the
programming software (in preparation, not for VdS installations).
1.2 System Configurations
VdS Class A Configuration: In the simplest configuration, typically for
private homes or low risk objects requiring only a VdS class A compliant
security system, the intrusion alarm panel L208 is combined with the LED
keypad L208/PT and one SAK 7 battery. This system possesses 9 circuits or
zones and one external set circuit.

VdS Class B Configuration: If the intrusion alarm system is to be used to
protect a VdS Class B object, e.g., typically commercial properties or private
homes requiring a higher protection level due to the insured value of the
property, an LCD keypad L840/PT is required. This allows greater control of
the intrusion alarm panel by the user and permits the alarm panel's event log
to be read out. This system also possess 9 circuits and one external set
circuit.

VdS Class C Configuration: For objects requiring a VdS class C intrusion
alarm system, e.g., for high risk properties such as banks or jewellers, in
addition to the LCD keypad, an arming module L840/B must also be
connected. This unit provides the L208 security system with additional inputs
and outputs, e.g., an intelligent code lock circuit, a lock monitoring circuit, an
intruder circuit for monitoring the entrance door, an additional tamper circuit,
a block lock coil driver output and three transistor signal outputs, necessary
to install a class C arming system. In this configuration, the L208 security
system possesses 13 circuits and one external set circuit.
Note: Independent of the VdS class, wherever an arming module L840/B is
installed, at least one LCD keypad L840/PT must be installed as the
status of the arming module cannot be displayed on the LED keypad
L208/PT.

EIB interface L208/EIB: The EIB interface L208/EIB connects the L208
intrusion alarm panel with the ABB i-bus ® EIB (European Installation Bus). In
combination with an EIB installation, signals can be transmitted
bi-directionally, i.e., not only can alarm relevant signals from the EIB system,
e.g., from Zone Terminals MT/S 4.12.1 and MT/U 2.12.2, be sent to the
alarm panel but also signals from the intrusion alarm panel can be evaluated
by the EIB installation, thus increasing the overall comfort and security level
of the property. For information concerning the EIB application software
please refer to the separate user manual.
Relay module L208/R: The relay module is also an XIB bus device whose
four relays and eight transistor outputs mirror the eight transistor signal
outputs found on the L208 main printed circuit board.
Output module L208/A: The output module L208/A is an XIB bus device
which has 24 transistor driver outputs (potentially bound) signalling a range
of status signals from the L208 intrusion alarm panel. These signal outputs
can be used, for example, for controlling an LED ground plan panel.
Interface module L208/V.24: The serial interface L208/V24 can be used to
connect a service printer to the intrusion alarm panel for printing out event
logs, system data or for use during servicing activities. This device can also
be used to link the intrusion alarm panel to a PC allowing a user-friendly
programming of the alarm panel.

General Installation Instructions
2 General Installation Instructions
2.1 General
All electrical installation work carried out on the L208 intrusion alarm
system must be completed with the supply voltage disconnected.
The installation position of the alarm panel, keypads and other security
components must be located according to VdS guidelines or VDE 0833.
The L208 intrusion alarm panel and keypads must be mounted:
• within the security surveillance area and within the monitoring area of a
detector,
• on an interior wall of the property,
• out of sight for a third party.
As there are no operating, display or control elements on the intrusion alarm
panel itself, the panel can be installed in a concealed location, e.g., in the
cellar or in a wall cabinet. The keypad(s), however, should be easily
accessible to the user.
2.2 Cabling Requirements The following cable types should be used for wiring the installation:
Low voltage 230V AC: NYM 3 x 1.5 mm ²
Extra-low voltage:
I-Y(St)Y n x 2 x 0.8 or 0.6 mm
The table below indicates the number of two-core conductors or twisted pairs
required to connect the listed security components.

To guarantee the electromagnetic immunity of the cabling it is important to
ensure that the cable shield has continuity over the complete cable run and
that the shield is grounded in the alarm panel on the left next to the cable
entry point via the earthing screws. The shield must not be earthed at any
other point within the security cable network (earth loops!).
The order of the bus components on the XIB bus cable is not important and
the use of spur lines is allowed. The maximum total length of the XIB bus
cabling must not exceed 800 m.

3 Intrusion Alarm Panel L208
3.1 General The intrusion alarm panel L208 is an modern, compact and easy to use
security device, using the latest bus technology. This highly versatile alarm
panel, which can be fully programmed, can be configured to comply with the
VdS (German Association of Property Insurers) guidelines for security
systems class A, B or C as well as the Standards DIN/VDE 0100, 0800 and
0833. This is achieved simply through the choice of system components, i.e.,
the peripheral bus components, that are connected to the intrusion alarm
panel. The system is, of course, fully CE conform.
The intrusion alarm panel L208 itself possesses no display or control
elements and is operated via up to 3 remote keypads connected to the XIB
security bus (eXtended Interface Bus).
The alarm panel is supplied with a default programming, enabling it to be
installed and put into operation immediately using just the LED keypad and
one battery. Individual functions can be reprogrammed using the LCD
keypad, which can be permanently integrated into the security system or
temporarily connected by the engineer for the duration of the programming
or servicing. Alternatively, the alarm panel can also be programmed using a
PC and the programming software L840/WIN-PC.
The intrusion alarm panel housing contains, in addition to the L208 main
printed circuit board and power supply, space for one or two 12V/7Ah
batteries and various L208 system components, e.g., the EIB interface
L208/EIB.

Intrusion Alarm Panel L208
3.2 Installation The intrusion alarm panel L208 is designed for wall mounting and is fixed via
3 screws in the alarm panel rear housing. The fixing centres are shown in
the diagram below.
For cable routing purposes, cable inlets are located above the main printed
circuit board, either from behind for flush-mounted cable installation, or from
above for surface-mounted cable installation. If the cabling is fed into the
alarm panel from behind, the cable relief masking plate should be fixed in
the uppermost mounting position so that the upper cable inlet is closed off.
For surface-mounted cable installation, the cable relief masking plate should
be fixed in the lower position. The size of the masking plate is such that even
in the lower position, internal components, e.g., the main printed circuit
board, are not accessible from outside. Cable strain relief is carried out in
both cases using cable ties (supplied) which can be threaded horizontally or
vertically through the masking plate and secured.
To achieve an optimum electromagnetic immunity, the shields or earthing
braids of the cables must be linked with the earthing terminals on the left
next to the cable entry, using the shortest possible route. The strain relief for
the mains input cable is located in the vicinity of the 230 V terminal block
with integrated fuse.
As the alarm panel has a metal housing (protection class 1), it is essential
that the protective earth conductor (PE) is connected and that the panel
cover is also electrically earthed to the rear panel housing via the supplied
cable.

Regardless of whether or not the circuits are externally connected or not, the following always applies for the non alarm condition:
• Circuits 1 to 6, 8 and 9 must all be terminated with 2.7 kΩ EOL (End of Line) resistors after the last sensor in the circuit.
• The external set circuit 10 must be terminated with a 2.7 kΩ and 560 Ω EOL resistor network.
• The signalling device outputs (terminals 28/29, 30/32 and 31/32) must be terminated with 1 kΩ EOL resistors (contained with
in the signalling devices).
• The telephone dialler fault (TDD) and alarm inputs (terminals 33, 34) must be grounded (terminal 35).
• The tamper contact input (terminals 35,36) and lock monitoring circuit 7 (terminals 7, C) must be bridged.
Note: In VdS installations, the signalling device combination SSF/GB is connected as shown to terminals 28/29 and 30/32. The
second signalling device SSF/G must, however, be supplied with its own voltage supply lines, i.e., 0 V from terminal 31,
CN 19 and 12 V from terminal V+, CN 17.
* To reset the Intrusion Alarm Panel to factory defaults, remove mains and battery voltage and jump LK4 for 20 seconds.

located LED keypads and/or LCD keypads. Both types of keypads are
connected to the external XIB bus, Terminal CN13 (+ - A B), on the L208
main printed circuit board, using 4-core bus cable.
Each keypad connected to the XIB bus must be given a unique address;
1,2 or 3. A keypad with the address 1 must be connected to the external XIB
bus at all times and is automatically recognised and activated by the
intrusion alarm panel on turning on the power supply. Further keypads must
first be enabled in the intrusion alarm panel's "Edit/Hardware/Keypads"
configuration menu before coming into service (see chapter 13).
The LED keypad L208/PT is addressed using switches 1, 2 and 3 of the DIP
switch. Switch 4 is used for disabling (ON position) the keypad housing
tamper contact to suppress unwanted alarms during commissioning.
Note: After commissioning, switch 4 must be set to the OFF position. In
class C VdS installations, the keypads must be sealed on two sides
(top and bottom) using a seal sticker.

LCD Keypad L840/PT
5 LCD Keypad L840/PT
5.1 General The LCD keypad L840/PT allows not only the convenient operation of the
intrusion alarm system by the user, but also the engineer to carry out
servicing and programming procedures.
In contrast to the LED keypad, the LCD keypad does not use LED's for the
status display of the circuits or zones. This information is displayed instead
as clear text messages on a two-line LCD display field. In addition, the LCD
keypad allows the user to carry out a selection of other operating
procedures. To do so, the user must first log on to the system with a
personal 4-digit PIN code.
As mentioned, the intrusion alarm system L208 can not only be operated but
also completely reprogrammed using the LCD keypad. Access to the various
engineer operations and programming functions is controlled via an
additional engineer PIN code. For further information regarding engineer
options and reprogramming please refer chapters 12 and 13.

Arming Module L840/B
6 Arming Module L840/B
6.1 General The arming module L840/B is an XIB bus component used to connect
arming devices to L208 security system in order to comply with VdS class C.
The device expands the L208 security system by five circuits and 4 signal
outputs. In addition to the external set circuit, a further setting circuit for
connecting an intelligent code lock is provided. The other inputs include a
door lock monitoring circuit, a tamper circuit as well as an intruder circuit for
opening surveillance of the entry door.
If an arming module is installed as part of the L208 security system, the
external set circuit on the L208 main printed circuit board (default circuit 10)
must be reprogrammed to operate as a different circuit type (see chapter
13.3).
The arming module L840/B also provides the following signal outputs:
internal alarm, ready to set, as well as an output that can be programmed to
give a momentary set confirm pulse or a static external set signal. A driver
output circuit for connecting a block lock coil is also provided.

EIB Interface L208/EIB
7 EIB Interface L208/EIB
7.1 General The EIB interface enables bi-directional communication between an EIB
installation and an L208 intrusion alarm panel. This allows the integration of
professional security functions into intelligent installation systems and thus
an increase in the total security and comfort of a building.
The EIB interface provides the EIB system with a multitude of security
relevant signals coming from the intrusion alarm panel. This information can
be used to activate various control functions or automatic procedures within
the EIB installation, for example:
• when the alarm system is externally set, presence simulation can be
started, lighting turned off centrally, or room temperature reduced to
minimise energy wastage,
• in the event of an alarm, panic or emergency lighting can be activated or
shutters opened or closed, or
• the status of the installation can be displayed or visualised centrally or
de-centrally at any point within the EIB system.
In the opposite direction, selected EIB telegrams received by the
EIB interface are transformed and passed on to the intrusion alarm panel for
further evaluation. This allows the implementation of a host of comfortable
applications, for example:
• operation of the intrusion alarm system via EIB from any position on the
bus without additional cabling expenditure,
• central administration of important alarm and fault signals coming from
the EIB installation,
• direct integration into the alarm system of EIB bus capable security
sensors or conventional security sensors via the Zone Terminals
MT/S 4.12.1 or MT/U 2.12.1 (up to 32 inputs), and
• tamper monitoring of the EIB and/or individual EIB devices.
7.2 Connection The EIB interface is designed to be mounted in the dedicated area in the
L208 intrusion alarm panel housing (see diagram below). The printed circuit
board is fixed into the alarm panel using four screws (M3 x 6 mm) with
washers (supplied).
Note: ESD (Electro Static Discharge) safety measures must be observed
when installing and commissioning the EIB interface.

and/or motion detectors. The output can supply a maximum of 0.5 A and is
short circuit protected with fuse F1: 0.5 A quick blow 20mm (replacement
included). The 12 V supply is buffered from the batteries of the intrusion
alarm panel.
Note: When calculating the total backup time of the emergency power
supply of the intrusion alarm panel, the current consumption of the
auxiliary voltage supply output must also be taken into consideration.
In VdS installation the use of the 12 V DC output is not permitted.
Use terminals V+ and V-.

of the alarm system complies with the SELV guidelines.
26

EIB Interface L208/EIB
Commissioning: In order to commission the EIB interface, communication
must first be established between the intrusion alarm panel and the EIB
interface. There are two methods of activating the EIB interface: the
automatic recognition procedure and the manual configuration technique.
In both cases, it is important that:
1) the EIB interface has been programmed with the EIB application
software Alarm Panel Interface/1,
2) the intrusion alarm panel is programmed with software version V3.00 t
or higher *,
3) the EIB interface is correctly connected to the alarm panel and,
4) the EIB interface is supplied with EIB bus voltage during
commissioning of the intrusion alarm panel.
After carrying out steps 1 to 4, the automatic recognition procedure can be
carried out by simply switching on the mains supply to the intrusion alarm
panel. If the alarm panel is already in operation, the mains supply must first
be briefly turned off (e.g. mains fuse removed), the battery or batteries
isolated, and then the alarm panel switched on again.
The EIB interface is automatically recognised by the intrusion alarm panel
and put into the last programmed configuration mode (see chapter 13.2). On
commissioning the intrusion alarm panel together with an EIB interface for
the first time, the default configuration mode "Standard" is pre-programmed.
For further information regarding the commissioning and configuration of the
EIB interface please refer to chapter 13.2 Hardware.
* The software version of the intrusion alarm panel is shown on the label on
the EPROM in the centre of the main printed circuit board. The version is
also shown in the LCD display of the keypad L840/PT shortly after the
system has been powered up.

Relay Module L208/R
Output Module L208/A
8 Relay Module L208/R
Output Module L208/A
8.1 General The relay module L208/R and output module L208/A provide, in addition to
the transistor and relay outputs on the main printed circuit board of the
intrusion alarm panel L208, further signal outputs for the remote display or
indication of the status signals from the L208 security system, e.g., via LED
display panels. The L208 intrusion alarm panel supports the operation of one
device only, either the relay module or the output module.
Relay Module L208/R: The relay module has four potential free relay
outputs and eight open collector transistor outputs. The eight output signals
mirror the eight transistor outputs of the intrusion alarm panel L208
(Terminals 11 to 18). The relay outputs and the first four transistor outputs
indicate the same status signal.
Output Module L208/A: The output module possesses 28 switched-mode
transistor outputs for the connection of LED's. These outputs indicate
various status signals of the L208 security system. The output module is
intended for use with LED ground plan panels and must be installed within
the housing of the display panel. Connection of the 24 LED's is achieved via
a standard 25-pole SUB D connector. The connecting cables to the LED's
must be kept as short as possible and may not be wired out of the display
panel (connection cable not supplied). The transistor outputs are active pull
down to 0 V and have a series resistor of 820 Ω allowing all 24 LED's to be
directly connected without an additional limiting resistor.
Note: The outputs of the output module operate in switched-mode in order
to reduce power consumption. The non static nature of the output
signal means that the signal lines should not be used for control
purposes other than driving LED's. For such applications the relay
module L208/R should be used.
8.2 Connection and Connection to the modules is carried via plugable screw terminals
Addressing
(supplied). Both modules have a 12 V output for the supply output for
external loads and a terminal for the external XIB bus coming from the
intrusion alarm panel.
Note: Due to the high power consumption of the LED's, it is advisable to
lay an additional, separate 12 VDC supply cable to the modules to
avoid excessive voltage drop over the cable run.

Note: The intrusion alarm panel automatically detects the operating mode
of the interface module during commissioning. If the operating mode
needs to be adjusted during operation, the module must be first
isolated from the bus, the DIP switch position modified and then
reconnected to the bus. During initialisation, the intrusion alarm
panel automatically detects the new operating mode.
Status LED: The interface module possesses a green light emitting diode
LED 1 on the printed circuit board which provides the installer with
information regarding the communication status of the module. As soon as
the module has been configured and XIB voltage has been connected, the
LED indicates if communication with the intrusion alarm panel has been
established.

Commissioning
10 Commissioning
It is recommended that during the initial commissioning stages that the
following steps are taken to allow for a easier and quicker installation.
Terminate inputs and outputs with EOL resistors:
i) All circuit inputs (Terminals 1 to 10) and the sounder and strobe light
outputs (Terminals 28 to 32) should be terminated with the
corresponding end of line (EOL) resistors directly at the screw
terminals. The door lock circuit (Terminal 7) should be simply shorted to
0 V (Terminal C) without an EOL resistor.
ii)
The tamper input for the cover contact (Terminal 35), the fault input for
the telephone dialler (Terminal 33) and the alarm input for the telephone
dialler (Terminal 34) should all be shorted to 0 V (Terminal 36).
Check keypads: At least one keypad, L208/PT or L840/PT, must be
connected to the external XIB bus with address "1". A maximum of three
keypads can be connected to the L208 security system, however, each must
have a unique address, either "1", "2" or "3".
Check Engineer's keypad: In addition to the three user keypads above,
the service engineer can also connect an additional L840/PT keypad with
the address "0" to the internal bus. This keypad is only intended for
temporary connection to the security system when the intrusion alarm panel
needs to be reprogrammed or serviced in installations where LED keypads
are used. The keypad is not monitored by the intrusion alarm panel and
removal of the keypad does result in a tamper alarm.
Check arming module: If an arming module L840/B is installed, it must
be configured with the address "1" (DIP switch 1, 2, 3 in the OFF position)
and the circuits must be terminated with the correct EOL resistors (see
chapter 6).
Check EIB interface: If an EIB interface L208/EIB is installed, EIB bus
voltage must be present and EIB application software Alarm Panel
Interface/1 must have been loaded.
Check output modules: If relay, output or interface modules are
installed, check the addressing DIP switches and jumper settings.
Apply power: The batteries can now be connected and the mains
voltage turned on. The absence of either the mains or battery voltage will be
registered within 15 minutes. The alarm panel is now ready for operation and
the functions can be tested and/or programmed using keypad No. 1 or
keypad No. 0, if present.
The next step is to gradually replace the EOL resistors temporarily
connected to the circuits with the actual circuits, arming device, signalling
devices, etc. Checking their correct function one at a time.
Activate XIB bus components: The only XIB bus components that are
automatically detected by the intrusion alarm panel are keypads No. 1 and
No. 0 and the EIB interface. Should further components be connected to the
XIB bus, they must first be enabled in the alarm panel configuration menu
“Edit/Hardware” before coming into operation (see chapter 13.2).

Operating the L208 Security System
11 Operating the L208 Security System
11.1 Operation via the The L208 security system can be controlled with up to three remotely located
LED Keypad L208/PT LED keypads and/or LCD keypads. The LED keypad L208/PT is the simpler
of the two devices and uses 15 LED's and three buttons to allow quick and
convenient operation of the alarm panel by the user. For programming
purposes, setting and activating user defaults or message readouts, the LCD
keypad must be used.

If a circuit fault is present, i.e., a circuit LED on the keypad is illuminated, the
fault can generally be removed by closing the corresponding door or window.
If the detector has stored the alarm, for example, a glass breakage sensor
has been tripped, the circuit fault can be cleared by pressing the “Reset”
button. If the circuit fault cannot be rectified, it is likely that the installation is
defective and the service engineer should be called. In VdS security
systems, tamper alarms can only be reset by the service engineer.
If an alarm occurs while the intrusion alarm system is set, the local alarm
signalling devices, i.e., sounders, are deactivated by unsetting the system.
The LED's corresponding to those circuits that were tripped as the system
was set will then flash. By pressing the "Reset" button, the stored alarms can
be cancelled and the strobe and alarm signalling devices will be turned off.
If, after a reset, a fault is still present in a circuit, the corresponding circuit
LED will now be lit permanently. Once again, the fault can generally be
removed by closing the corresponding door or window.
11.2 Operation via the The LCD keypad L840/PT allows not only the convenient operation of the
LCD Keypad L840/PT intrusion alarm system by the user, but also the engineer to carry out
servicing and programming procedures.
In contrast to the LED keypad, the LCD keypad does not use LED's for the
status display of the circuits or zones. This information is displayed instead
as clear text messages on a two-line LCD display field. In addition, the LCD
keypad allows the user to carry out a selection of other operating
procedures. To do so, the user must first log on to the system with a
personal 4-digit PIN code.
As mentioned, the intrusion alarm system L208 can not only be operated but
also completely reprogrammed using the LCD keypad. Access to the various
engineer operations and programming functions is controlled via an
additional engineer PIN code. For further information regarding engineer
options and reprogramming please refer to chapters 12 and 13.

used to scroll through the possible selection options. When making a
selection, yes/no or on/off options are selected with button 1 for yes or on
and button 0 for no or off.
After a selection has been entered and confirmed - the keypad beeps and
the selection begins to flash or the “ ” button is pressed - the “Esc”
button can be used to exit the present level or selection menu. Generally, if
no action is taken within 30 seconds, the menu or level is automatically
exited.
Access levels: Access to the various operational and programming options
of the system takes place on different hierarchical levels, in order to prevent
incorrect operation or manipulation of the security system. Three access
levels are available, level 2 being accessible only after entering a user PIN,

13.3 Circuits The circuits menu allows reconfiguration of the intrusion alarm panel’s
circuits to be carried out. On first commissioning the intrusion alarm panel
L208, the circuits or zones are pre-programmed in the following
configurations:
Circuit no.
Circuit type
1,2,3 Intruder (NA) – active only in external set mode
4,5,6 Intruder (NA)
7 Door lock
8 Personal attack (PA)
9 Tamper
10 Ext. set
Each circuit can be reprogrammed to operate as a different circuit type. It
should be noted that, in general, all circuits require an end of line (EOL)
resistor (2.7 kΩ) to operate correctly. There are two exceptions to the rule:
Lock circuits require no EOL resistor and Ext set circuits work with two EOL
resistors (2.7 kΩ + 560 Ω). For further information regarding circuit
connection refer to chapter 3.
Circuit types: 14 different circuit types are available as shown in the two
menu pages. It is possible to jump between the menu pages using the
“ ” key.
Each circuit type has certain basic settings and various options that can be
configured and which effect the circuit’s operation. These submenu options
appear when the arrow keys are used to scroll downwards after the circuit
type is displayed.

After making a set request via the keypad, the security system will first
become set after both the ER and EnEx circuits are thereafter closed.
On re-entering the object and opening the EnEx circuit, i.e., unlocking the
door, a count down timer is started, within which the system must be unset
via the keypad, otherwise an alarm will be triggered. During this time, a fault
in the ER circuit, i.e., the opening of the entry door, does not cause an alarm.
The EnEx circuit itself does not trigger any alarms.

1 = Ext Set Mode Allows the user to externally set the
security system from the keypad after
entering a PIN (Level 2).
Option 1 allows a time delay to be
programmed (1- 255 s) between the
security system setting and activation
over the keypad.
Option 2 causes the system to be set
immediately.
Option 3 allows the user to set the
system over the keypad in conjunction
with an EnEx and ER circuit. After
activation via the keypad, the security
system will first become set when both
the EnEx and ER circuits are
thereafter closed. (VdS)
Option 4 allows the user to set the
system over the keypad, either in
conjunction with the EnEx / ER circuit,
i.e., closing the circuits or after the
programmed time delay has elapsed,
whichever comes first.
If ,after the time delay has elapsed, the
EnEx circuit is still open, the system
will not set.

13.7 User Authorisation The L208 security system allows up to 8 different users, each with an
individual 4-digit personal identification code (PIN), to operate the system in
conjunction with the LCD keypad. Initially only user 1 is activated. The user
authorisation menu allows the activation of users 2 to 8.
U s e r
N u m b e r
_

U s e r - 2
O f f
On first activating a user, a default identification code is assigned to the user,
i.e., User 1=1111, 2=2222, 3=3333, etc. The default factory PIN can then be
changed by the respective user in the user level 2 (See chapter 12).
13.8 Text In the text menu it is possible to assign personalised text names or
descriptions to each of the circuits and system users. For example, the
default text for circuit 1 “Cct 1” can be personalised to “Kitchen Cct 1”. These
text messages are then displayed on the LCD keypad during a circuit fault
and stored in the event log.

arrow keys or by first pressing one of the buttons 0 to 9 to jump to the
required group of letters, as shown below, and then using the arrow keys.
Once a character has been selected, pressing the “ ” key confirms the
selection and the cursor jumps to the next character position. When
reprogramming circuit texts, it is recommended that the circuit number still
be part of the new text to allow identification of the physical circuit.
