Basic concepts
2. Basic concepts.
This chapter explains some fundamentally important concepts that are necessary for correctly making full use of
the system.
Note.
Some of the examples contain references to the device codes; for more information, please refer to the instruction
sheet for the product concerned.
•Functional unit: part of a device that can be considered as if it were a separate device. Some examples:
1. Device with one functional unit: the functional unit is equivalent to the device itself, for example actuator with
transfer relay output 16 A 250 V~ (Eikon 20535 series; Idea 16975; Plana 14535).
2.Device with two functional units: in the interface for conventional controls (Eikon 20515 series; Idea 16955
series; Plana 14515 series) each of the two inputs is a functional unit.
3.Device with three functional units: in the control appliance with two toggle switches and actuator (Eikon
20526 series; Idea 16966; Plana 14526 series) there are three functional units: left toggle switch, right toggle
switch and actuator; for user and configuration purposes, there are therefore 3 separate devices.
4.Device with four functional units: in the control appliance with three toggle switches and actuator (Eikon
20547 series; Idea 16987; Plana 14547 series) there are four functional units: left toggle switch, middle
toggle switch, right toggle switch and actuator; for user and configuration purposes, there are therefore
4 separate devices. Another example is the device with 4 changeover relays (art.01851 for installation on
EN50022 rails) where each output is a functional unit.
Note.
Difference between a toggle switch and simple
push-button: a toggle switch can can be pushed
pushed up or down, a simple push-button can only
be pushed down.
During the design phase, each functional unit of
any device must be considered as though it were a
separate device. It is therefore necessary, during the
design phase, to plan the functions to be performed
and only then make a list of the devices needed to
perform these functions.
The diagram opposite shows the functional units of a
control device with three simple push-buttons and an
actuator (Eikon 20545 series; Idea 16985 series; Plana
14545 series).

Basic concepts
For example, during installation, the actuator could be used to control load A through the push-button of another
device, the left push-button to control load B through an actuator, the middle button to control load C through a
second actuator and the right button to control load D through a third actuator.

There are no limits on the use of the functional units of a physical device. When a load is to be controlled, it is
necessary to provide one control device and one actuator connected to the load.
7
Basic concepts
• Connection: logic link between two functional units, which allows a function to be shared (for example: relay
actuator and push-button).
• Configuration: operation that can be used to create the logic connection between various functional units (of
various appliances).
• Functional group (or Group): set of functional units connected to each other logically, which perform a system
function (for example: three different push-buttons that control one actuator, and therefore the same load).
The devices that make up a functional group are connected to each other logically, not by conventional wiring.

IMPORTANT:
A Group must be made up only of homogeneous functional units: any one group cannot contain an
actuator for rolling shutters and an actuator to control the lighting of a lamp.
8
Basic concepts
To control the switching on of a load from different points, it is sufficient to add more functional units; it is not
necessary to modify the wiring.

• Group depth: number of groups to which one functional unit can belong. Each functional unit can belong to a
maximum of 4 different groups keeping the same function (for example “dimmer control”).

= device 1: left button functional unit + device 1 actuator
= device 2: left button functional unit + device 2 actuator
= device 3: button functional unit + device 1 and 2 actuator functional unit.
Actuators are of group depth 2 since they both belong to two groups.

Basic concepts
• Scenario: a scenario is an exact positioning of the actuators in one or more functional groups that can be called
up as preferred from a menu on the control panel or with a button configured for this purpose or with the infrared
remote control 01849. For example, the rolling shutters could be lowered and a lamp lit in the room at the same
time. A scenario can also be activated with the programs that can be configured via the Events menu or remotely
with the GSM communicator.
• Parameters: these can be set at the control unit, and are used to modify and customize the operation of each
functional unit. For example, the relay actuator (Eikon 20535 series, Idea 16757 series; Plana 14535 series),
during configuration, behaves as a two-position stable relay. However, it can be configured as a one-position
stable relay; in this case, the deactivation time must also be defined.
• Line: any set of devices.
• Scenario depth: number of scenarios to which a group can belong. Each functional group can belong to a
maximum of 4 different scenarios.
• Bus line: equipment used to carry the electrical or electromagnetic signals associated with the messages
between the system devices.
• Bus system: set of devices and their interconnections creating applications by using a common communications
framework.
• Command: functional unit that sends commands and/or statuses over the bus line.
• Actuator: functional unit that receives commands and/or statuses from the bus line in order to carry out a
predetermined action.
The system in general is made up of three main families of functional unit:
• Controls (for example, push-buttons, sensors and infrared remote controls)
• Actuators (for example, relays and regulators)
• Controllers (for example, the control unit)
10
Basic concepts
Each line can be composed of at most 128 devices and needs one or two power supplies depending on
the number of devices and the length of the bus.
Using line couplers, a number of lines can be connected to each other, up to a maximum of 15 areas x 15
lines; the line couplers allow only authorized messages to pass between one line and another.
On each By-me control panel it is possible to configure up to 254 devices (194 automation devices and 60
intrusion detection alarm system devices).
System configuration starts with the creation of functional groups (it is better to think in terms of functional
groups rather than individual devices), which is the only operation strictly necessary for the system to
function. During the installation phase, the first operation is therefore to assume the functions that are to
be made available.
Subsequent operations, such as placing a number of units together in one scenario or setting a number of
automated functions, should be treated as a system customization or as the use of advanced functions.
After the groups have been created, the control panel no longer has any part to play in the way they operate; the
devices and related functional groups are “connected” to each other and do not require any intervention by the
control panel (the control panel is still needed, however, for managing editing functions, climate control automation
and automation programmes).
In the event of a power failure, when the mains power returns, the actuators will keep their status prior to the event.
Following a Reset applied to an actuator, instead, the actuator will go back to opening the contact (applies both to
relay actuators and roller shutter actuators).
Note: If the By-me system is composed of both the automation system and the intrusion detection alarm system,
always use two power supplies 01801.
11
Installation topology
3. Installation topology.
The main characteristic of the By-me system is that all devices are connected to each other by a bus system cable
(pair) that supplies the devices with the power and the signals carrying the digital control and monitoring data.
Note.
The connecting cable, art. Vimar 01840, is the same as the one used in the burglar alarm bus system and Vimar
bus entrance control system.
Warning:
On a line where a control panel has already been configured (monitor 20550 + module 01960) it is not
possible to configure a second control panel (either Eikon 20550 + 01960 or the Eikon 2-module control
panels 20510 and 20480, Idea 16950 and 16930, Plana 14510 and 14480).
The system is configured through the control unit and the configuration buttons located on the devices.

Installation topology
If integrating the automation and intrusion detection alarm systems, refer to the intrusion detection alarm system
section in this manual that shows the connection diagram (see page 91); in this case the control panel must be
installed and configured in “Area 00 - Line 00” of the intrusion detection alarm system. The two automation and
intrusion detection alarm system lines must then be separated with a coupler 01845.
The input of the control panel composed of the monitor 20550 + module 01960 is equal to:
- 150 mA under conditions of normal operation;
- 30 mA in case of a mains power failure and power supply from the back-up unit 01804.14 (if there is also the intrusion
detection alarm system).
3.1 System content.
Each system must always be made up of at least the following devices:
• one control panel;
• one power supply 01801;
• control devices with or without actuators;
• actuators, such as relays or regulators for example;
Module 01960 must be inserted in the compartment on the back of monitor 20550 in correspondence with the
connector bearing the words “CONTROL PANEL”.
You are recommended to do this without the devices being powered and checking that, after hooking up the
module with the monitor, the mechanical coupling is perfect (all the clamps must be properly tightened).

Installation topology
3.2 Bus system installation.
3.2.1 General rules and system topology.
• For the connections use a VIMAR 01840 sheathed and twisted pair (2x0.5 mm2, nominal insulation voltage
300/500 V). The wire pair distributes both the power supply voltage (29 V d.c.) and the device control
signals, and can be placed inside the same corrugated pipe that carries the electrical mains cables.
• A bus line must be supplied by 1 or 2 power supplies 01801.
Each line can be controlled by a single control panel and can be composed of at most 128 devices and
at most two power supplies, depending on the number of devices and the length of the connecting cable
(pair).
• One control panel can manage up to at most 60 intrusion detection alarm systems.
• If a system is being installed with only one power supply and the number of devices is close to the maximum
number allowed, it is advisable to plan for a second power supply to allow for future extensions of the
system.
• The devices do not have to be connected in any particular order, maintaining the polarities indicated on
the terminals. Linear type connections (figure 3.2.1.1), star type connections (figure 3.2.1.2) or mixed
connections (figure 3.2.1.3) are possible (the rectangle in the figures represents the power supply). The
ideal configuration is the linear type with only one power supply in the middle of the system, or two power
supplies at the ends of the bus cable.
• The total current used by the various devices must not exceed the nominal current of the power supply
(or supplies) installed.
• The voltage at all points on the bus, with all devices at rest, must never go below 23 V d.c. Check particularly
the points furthest away from the power supply and the sections of cable where the load is highest.
• The voltage at all points on the bus, when the most numerous group of shutter actuators is in operation, must
never go below 22 V d.c. (check the points furthest away from the power supply). The delayed actuation
function can be useful for reducing the number of shutter actuators in operation at the same time.
• The By-me control panel can manage up to 20 different users (including the administrator), each one with
their own rights and password.
• The By-me control panel can manage up to at most 480 groups (automation, intrusion detection alarm system,
loads, etc.).
3.2.1.1
3.2.1.2

3.2.1.3
Installation topology
• The By-me control panel is able to configure up to at most 254 devices divided over a number of lines
(including the couplers 01845); each device can have from 1 to 4 functional units. If the system does
not have an intrusion detection alarm system, the maximum number of Automation devices that can be
configured in a control panel is 194 (including routers) divided over a number of lines; lastly bear in mind that
a line can have up to 2 power supplies 01801 (which can support up to a maximum input of 1.6 A on the
bus line).
• It is essential to protect the system from the effects of lighting using surge protection devices (SPD).
As a general rule, the power supply side must be protected using a Class 1 SPD downstream of the power
meter, a Class 2 SPD after the magneto-thermal protection device, and a Class 3 SPD at the power supply
input. If a telephone communicator is present, it is advisable also to install an SPD on the telephone line.
3.2.2 System setup.
During the design phase, it is essential to arrange for a switchboard with sufficient capacity to hold:
• conventional devices, magneto-thermal protections, circuit-breakers, etc;
• 1 or 2 power supplies with capacity for nine EN 50022 modules;
• EN 50022 rail devices such as the load control module, GSM communicator, interfaces.
• surge protection devices to protect the installation.
It is advisable to use a dedicate cable trough for the corrugated tubes that carry the Vimar 01840 cable for the
Bus line; however, the ones that carry the mains power cables can also be used.
3.2.3 Bus length: general rules.
• Maximum distance between power supply and device: 350 m.
• Maximum distance between devices: 700 m.
• Maximum length of the bus cable: 1000 m.
• Minimum distance between 2 power supplies: 40 m. It is important for the load to be well distributed between
the two power supplies.
• Essential requirements:
• the distance between two power supplies must never be less than 40 m;
• the load must be well distributed between the two power supplies;
• the two power supplies should be placed at the ends of the one of the circuits of the system that has
the largest number of devices or branches.
In all cases, the optimum configuration is where the power supplies are placed as far as possible from each
other; this also has a positive effect on the minimum voltage present on the bus.

Main configurations
4.2 Initial switch-on.
• When switched on for the first time, or after a reset, the control panel asks for the language to be selected, then
the area no. (00-15) and line no. (00-15); this information is essential for identification and group offset, which is
a necessary parameter only when configuring a number of control panels in the same system. The order in which
systems are created must start according to the use of the control panel: if performing the function of a SAI bus
control panel, set the area to 0 and line 0; for the comfort control panel the Area number varies from 1 and the
line numbers between the possible values (from 1 to 15), then passing onto area 2,3…
For the “Group Offset” parameter confirm the prompted value. unless it is necessary to configure a system with
a number of control panels; In this case, on the 1st control panel the “Group Offset” 0xB00 will be set, while for
the others the following Offset values will be set:
- 2nd control panel: 0x2000
- 3rd control panel: 0x4000
- 4th control panel: 0x6000
- 5th control panel: 0x8000
- 6th control panel: 0xA000
- 7th control panel: 0xC000
- 8th control panel: 0xE000.
• The control panel will then ask for the date and time to be entered.
• In addition the first time it requires setting the security code (PIN) for the administrator (5-8 characters) and
afterwards a second time for confirmation. The numbers are entered with the buttons A,B,C,D of the monitor. To
enter digits other than the first one hold down the relevant button and release it on the required character.
• You can now access the main menu or setup of the control panel to go ahead with configuration.
• Create the groups [see paragraph 4.4.1 “Creating a new group”, page 22].
• The system is now ready to use.
If the preconfigured behaviour of the devices is not considered suitable, or to access the advanced functions of the
system, the system can be customized by carrying out one or more of the following operations:
• modify device behaviour [see paragraph 4.4.4 “Modifying the device parameters” - page 27];
• climate control [see chapter 5 “Climate Control” - page 51];
• create scenarios [see Chapter 6 “Scenarios” - page 59];
• load control (if load control module 01855 is available) [see Chapter 7 “Load control” - page 63];
• events [see chapter 8 “Programming events” - page 69].
• SAI Control Panel (only with the intrusion detection alarm system) [seeintrusion detection section]
• Video door entry (only with the modules art. 01961, 01962 or 01963).
• CCTV (only with the module art. 01964).

4.3 Main screens of the control panel.
The control panel's main screen displays the icons relating to the main menus:
• Air conditioning;
• Scenarios;
• Audio;
• Events;
• Video door entry unit;
• Burglar alarm control panel (SAI)
• Loads.
The main menus are selected using buttons A, B, C and D (button A -> Climate control, button B -> Audio, etc.).
The load control, video door entry and burglar alarm control panel (SAI) menus are displayed on a second main
screen accessed by selecting the “Others” menu (button D).
If, after a time-out of approximately 90 s, no operation is carried out, the control panel displays a stand-by screen
showing the day, date and/or time (setting what you want to be displayed is done using the “Settings” menu).
If personal security codes have been set (installer PIN, different users, etc.), access to the menus is only possible
after entering the code permitting use, by the user, only of the menus for which the user has been enabled (see
paragraph 4.5.4).
IMPORTANT:
Before proceeding with system configuration (and therefore of the various functional
groups) ALWAYS reset each single device (see chap. 4.4.8 on page 28).

4.4.1.2 Functional unit selection.
Note.
For each device, how to select a functional unit is explained in the special instructions sheets that
accompany the product.
To configure the various functional units, start the procedure on the control panel as described in the
previous paragraph, then set the desired devices and wait for the configuration to be completed before
going on to the next one; to end the procedure, use the control panel:
1. Press the configuration button and, where necessary, the control button of the device to be included
in the group;
2. The device indicates that configuration is in progress by means of a red LED, which goes off when

4.4.1.3 Rules for creating groups.
1. A Group must be made up only of homogeneous functional units: any one group cannot contain an
actuator for rolling shutters and an actuator to control the lighting of a lamp.
2. When creating the group, first register the actuators and then the control devices (buttons); in this way,
the control unit can recognize the type of group being created and set the correct parameters for the buttons.
4.4.1.4 Note on built-in controls.
• The built-in controls must be installed with the bus
terminal turned upwards (general rule for all recessmounting devices - figure 4.4.1.4.1).
• For the Idea and Plana series the “simple button”
type of controls are distinguished by the grey of the
button contact surface (figure 4.4.1.4.2); “Toggle
switch” type controls are identified by a green
colour (figure 4.4.1.4.3).
4.4.1.4.1
• The buttons for “toggle switch” devices are
identified by symbols or by the plate at the top or
bottom (figure 4.4.1.4.4); except for the neutral
button, the buttons for the simple push-buttons
have symbols or a plate at the bottom only (figure
4.4.1.4.5).
• The buttons for simple push-button controls have
an installation side; when mounting the button,
align the two slots inside the button with the slots
on the lower side of the contact surface of the
control (figure 4.4.1.4.2).
• The built-in control devices must be installed
without buttons (these have to be attached only
when the configuration of the system is complete).
This is necessary in order to allow access to
the configuration button (for the position of the
configuration button, please refer to the instruction
sheet for the device).
• Removing the button: using a small screwdriver,
apply slight pressure and lever up the top part of
the button (this has a small tab) from the body
of the device (figure 4.4.1.4.6), then take out the
button.

4.4.2 Add devices to a functional group.
Used to add new devices to an existing functional group.
Setup Configuration Group Control Automation 080 Group Add Device
Configure the functional units as described in paragraph 4.4.1 [Creating a new functional group, page 22].
N.B.
If a user is to be controlled using infrared remote control 01849, it is necessary to configure the infrared
receiver (Eikon 20516, Idea 16956, Plana 14516) inside the group that contains the relay actuator (or regulator)
connected to the load to be controlled (or regulated).
For example, by creating a group made up of a relay actuator (Eikon 20535, Idea 16795, Plana 14535, for
EN 50022 rail 01850) and infrared receiver (Eikon 20516, Idea 16956, Plana 14516) connected to a lamp, the
lamp can be controlled using infrared remote control 01849.

4.4.13 Router Control
The Router Control menu enables configuring the Line Coupler art.01845, called “Router” in the control panel,
creating a new line, as per bus system architecture.
NOTE: The configured router identifies a new line that will lead to the terminals indicated with BUS 2, while the
backbone will lead to the BUS 1 terminals. The devices connected on the BUS 2 side will be addressed with
the Area and Line number of the Router.
If configuring the SAI system, the By me control panel must be configured on Area 00 and line 00, these
devices must necessarily belong to area 00 line 00 (alias: backbone line) with a maximum number of
60 devices as described in the Intrusion detection alarm system section. If configuring a system that,
at a later time, has to be integrated with the intrusiond detection alarm system, it is necessary for the
control panel to have already been configured in Area 00 and Line 00 together with its power supply

4.4.15 Managing BUS interface with EnOcean module
The BUS with EnOcean module radio interface allows using the devices of the radiofrequency system to extend
coverage in places or accesses where it is not possible to add any cables and devices via BUS.
It is supplied in the following versions:
20508 : 2 Eikon modules
14508 : 2 Plana modules
Eikon
Plana
The radio interface is combined with the following radio-frequency devices with the EnOcean module:
20505: control with 2 toggle buttons
01796: relay actuator with relay output
• Operation
The device communicates on the one hand via radio wave signals with the radio-frequency devices with the
EnOcean module and, on the other hand, with the devices in the system communication bus.
The functions involve the automation operations such as controlling lights, roller shade control and scenario
management.
The devices with the EnOcean module are completely integrated with the By-me devices: for example, it is
possible to have a By-me push-button in an Automation group governing an EnOcean actuator or an EnOcean button governing a By-me actuator; the devices with the EnOcean module moreover also have a role in
creating scenarios.
In a system it is possible to add up to 15 BUS interfaces with the EnOcean module and each one of them can
control at most 50 devices with the EnOcean module.
The maximum number of RF devices with the EnOcean module and SAI that can be saved in the database
of the control panel is 350.
Important:
- An interface cannot be added to more than one Automation Group;
- an EnOcean button control device can be added to at most four Automation groups
per interface;
- a relay actuator device with the EnOcean module can be added to at most 30 groups;
- actuators join scenarios when the group to which they belong is associated with a scenario.
The BUS interface with the EnOcean module features two main modes of operation:
- Regular operation: receives information from the radio-frequency devices and sends it through the
communication bus, and vice versa.
- Configuration: in the phase of adding radiofrequency devices it saves the characteristics of the component
that has responded and communicates some information to the control panel.

Main configurations
4.5.4 User Management.
The control panel can be used to set different menu access profiles and thereby configure user rights (operating
modes depending on the user); a total of up to 20 users can be set (one of which is the administrator).
Setup Settings User Control
The users registered in the system are displayed. From here it is possible to add new ones or change the
access parameters of ones already registered.
At the time of first switching on, there are three types of user available on the control panel:
- Administrator, who has the right to perform every kind of operation and must always enter his or her password;
- Guest, who has limited rights that can however be changed at any time (guests do not enter passwords);
- Us. Prog. Events, whose partitions are called up when the intrusion detection alarm system is turned on/off
using an automated program created with the Events menu.
It is therefore possible to customize access to system functions by creating different user profiles.
Note.
If there is also the intrusion detection alarm system and more than one user has been set, each one with
a different partition for turning on the system associated with button B on the control panel, the Guest
management rights over the intrusion detection alarm system must be disabled.
To enter a new user, sect the relevant item with Select. Now by using the User Name menu you can name
the user.
For this purpose use the t u buttons to move onto the displayed characters and confirm with Char P.
It is possible to set the upper or lower case with a..A, delete with Delete.
Lastly confirm with the Name P. button. The control panel confirms the operation and requires a PIN code to
be created for the user that has just been created.
In the Change PIN menu save the password for the profile by using the A,B,C,D buttons and confirm the
operation with Confirm (the operation is then prompted again to confirm the password). The password must
must have at least 5 characters and max 8; by holding down each one of the four buttons A,B,C,D of the
control panel, it is possible to set all the numerical options (for instance, hold down button A and the monitor
will display the numbers 1, 2, 3). The control panel then confirms the operation.
With the Setting Rights menu you assign the access profile to the control panel menus such as scenarios,
thermostats, programming, load control, intrusion detection alarm system, video door entry system.
Select the relevant item and tick it with Del P to remove it or add it with Select P.
In the same way with the Spec button you access special rights assignment for configuring the abovementioned various menu items besides control panel Administration (Settings menu); from here, with the
Norm button, you again access normal rights (scenarios, climate control, etc.).
Confirm at the end of the operation; The control panel confirms the operation has been completed.
To delete the current profile move onto the Remove User item, the control panel will ask for confirmation, go
ahead with YES. The display shows the deletion made.

Main configurations
At the end of these operations, save the settings made with the Save button. The control panel confirms the
operation has been completed.
If this is not the case, you are asked whether you want to quit the changes without saving.
By logging out from the main menu you automatically go back in with the default rights set for “Guests”. If you
want to “limit” access to certain menus, it is necessary, with the Administrator login, to change the access
profile for “Guests”.
To entirely inhibit access to a menu item, you first need to remove the rights for configuration and then tick off
the items relating to use as described above.
This is useful to prevent unauthorized access to the control panel menus.
N.B. For the Administrator profile it is possible to go ahead only with Change PIN.
For Guest profile management, access is only permissible to the User Name and Setting Rights menus.

5. Air-conditioning control.
The By-me home automation system is used to manage climate control programs (heating and air-conditioning)
using the control panel. The control panel can control up to 40 thermostats in Timer-Thermostat mode (Eikon
20513 - 20514, Idea 16953 -16954, Plana 14513 - 14514) permitting programmed control of up to 40 different
zones.
Note.
• For each operation to be carried out, the control unit asks for the zone to which the operation is applied.
Timer-thermostat functions:
• Automatic operation: 2 separate temperature programs (one for heating and one for air-conditioning) for each of
the 40 controlled zones.
• Manual operation: temperature value adjustable from 5.0 °C to 30.0 °C (heating) and from 10 °C to 35 °C (airconditioning).
• Timed manual operation.
• Reduction: temperature value adjustable from 5.0 °C to 30.0 °C (heating) and from 10 °C to 35 °C (airconditioning).
• Timed reduction.
• Antifreeze (temperature value adjustable from 0°C to 15.0°C).
• Timed Off.
• Off.
• Adjusting the speed of the fan-coils with the thermostats 20513, 16953 and 14513.
5.1 General settings.
This paragraph describes the procedures for setting parameters that are modified only occasionally.
5.1.1 Group association.
Used to define the 40 air-conditioning zones to be controlled, by selecting the related groups.
It is firstly necessary to define the temperature zones to be controlled, by selecting the groups involved.
First of all it is necessary to create a new group:
Setup Configuration Group Control Climate Control
Name the group as described on page 27.
In the group configure just one thermostat device and at least one relay actuator; in addition, it is also possible
to configure one or more control interfaces that, for instance, will detect a window opening (via magnetic
contact) and will switch off the heating/air-conditioning system (see paragraph 5.2.1).
The configuration procedure is identical to the one used in the Automation menu; to configure the thermostat,
press button A on the device (the first one on the left) thus displaying the icon CNF blinking.
N.B. It is recommended to assign short names for the rooms to control.

N.B.
When changing from heating to air-conditioning mode and vice versa, the operating mode changes
automatically to OFF.
5.1.2.5 Temperature differential.
Used to set the temperature differential of the system, and personalize it for each zone.
The temperature differential is the difference between the set temperature and the actual temperature of
switching the system on or off. By adjusting the temperature differential, the system can be prevented from
continually switching on or off; systems with high thermal inertia (for example, systems with cast iron radiators)
require a low temperature differential value, and systems with low thermal inertia (for example, systems with
fan coil units) require a high value. Supposing that the temperature zone has been called “ Thermostat 01”:
Climate Setup Zone settings 01 Thermostat
Thermal
Diff. Change
Select the desired zone.
Set the desired value and confirm with Set. At the end of the operation press Save. The control panel confirms
the operation performed and goes back to display the registered temperature zones.
Example.
If the ambient temperature is set to 20 °C and the temperature differential is set to 0.3 °C, the system will come
on when the ambient temperature falls to 19.7 °C and will go off when it reaches 20.3 °C (in Heating mode).
5.1.2.6 Normal or protected operation.
The thermostats (Eikon 20513 - 20514, Idea 16953 -16954, Plana 14153 -14514) are used for local control
(zone by zone) by the user. If the operating mode is set to “protected”, thermostat control is limited to switching
off the system and setting the set-point within a pre-defined time, in order to prevent any unauthorized
operations. Supposing that the temperature zone has been called “ Thermostat 01”:

N.B.
• When changing from “Normal” to “Protected” mode and vice versa, the operating mode changes
automatically to OFF.
• The reference set-point must be set with the control panel.
5.1.2.7 Type of system.
The thermostats for controlling the fan coils (Eikon 20513, Idea 16953, Plana 15413) are used to manage the
fan coils via the temperature control system.
These climate control devices need a control system to govern the speed of the fan and the opening of the
valves for hot water (heating) or cold water (air-conditioning) circulation.
With just one type of climate control (heating or air-conditioning), the plumbing system is composed of two
pipes, one for delivery and one for return.
With two types of climate control (heating and air-conditioning), the plumbing system is composed of four
pipes, one for delivery and one for return for each function.
The main circulation pump/valve must be controlled with the actuator 01850.1 and this must be associated
with all the temperature zones (that is it must be configured in all the climate control groups).
On creating the first group the operating mode must be set as circulation pump (it suffices to do this only on
the first climate control group created).

This section describes the system operating modes that can be selected: Off, Timed Off, Antifreeze, Reduction,
Timed Reduction, Manual, Timed Manual, Automatic.
Note.
If a Timed mode is selected, the control unit stores the previous mode and returns to this mode after the set time
has elapsed.
From the main screen press p q and move onto the zone where you want to set the desired mode.
By pressing the Operation C button a number of times you pass from one mode to another (the respective icons
will be displayed) and confirm by pressing button I.
With the buttons B and D you set the temperature for each single desired mode via the next screen that appears.
It is possible from here to go back via button C, set the desired temperature with B and D. On completion, confirm
with button A Set.
For the manual, reduction and Off modes, button A takes you to time dependent operation up to a max of 99h.
Increase or decrease the number of hours with the buttons B and D, go back with C or confirm with Set (A).
From Automatic operation, by setting the desired temperature the mode passes automatically to temporary manual
(override).
Select the desired zone, then set the operating mode by selecting from the following:
• Off: used to switch off the system;
• Timed Off: used to switch off the system for the desired period;
• Antifreeze: used to set a minimum temperature level in order to prevent damage to the pipes and so that the
temperature will not go below a safe level;
• Reduction: (night reduction/energy saving), used to set a lower temperature (heating) or higher temperature
(air-conditioning) than the one in the automatic temperature control program, by selecting a value between 5 °C
and 30 °C (heating) and between 10 °C and 35 °C (air-conditioning). The temperature is set according to the set
point for nighttime reduction.
• Timed reduction: used to set the reduced temperature for the desired period;
• Manual: used to set the temperature according to the manually set point;
• Timed manual operation: used to set manual mode for the desired period;
• Automatic: used to set the temperature according to a pre-selected program in memory [see paragraph 5.3
“Programming” – page 69].
Note: It is not possible to pass from one type of operation to the timed equivalent.
56
Air-conditioning control
5.2.1 Setting the speed of the fan coils
The thermostats for controlling the fan coils (Eikon 20513, Idea 16953, Plana 14513) permit adjusting the
speed of the fans via a specific menu that can be shown on the display of the device or on the control panel.
There are two methods of control: manual and automatic.
• on selecting manual mode the user sets the desired speed;
• on selecting automatic mode the speed is adjusted by the thermostat according to the difference between
the ambient temperature and the set point; the greater the difference and the higher the speed.
On the control panel, with the screen for the fan coil thermostat, the fan speed adjustment is set with button A.
The value of the speed is shown in the middle of the screen by the following icons:
• " --> off
• # --> minimum speed
• $ --> medium speed
• % --> maximum speed
• ! --> automatic speed
Pressing button A scrolls cyclically through the associated icons at minimum, medium, maximum and
automatic speed, then leaving the one you want to set displayed.
5.2.2 Forced switch-off.
In certain situations, it may be necessary to force the air-conditioning system to switch off (for example, if the
windows are opened).
To activate this function, a contact interface is required (Eikon 20515, Idea 16955; Plana 14515,) in the same
group as the thermostat and relay. If the system is forced to OFF, the thermostat ignores the temperature
values transmitted by the control unit.

Scenarios
6. Scenarios.
A scenario is made up of a set of events that can be called at any time by means of a single command, for example
to switch on the lights in a living room and lower the shutters at the same time.
6.1 Creating a scenario.
The procedures for creating a scenario are performed using the special menus available on the control unit; they
involve the use of a selected number of functional groups (which must be indicated when creating the scenario)
and their related functional units.
The procedure for creating a new scenario is as follows:
1. Select the functional groups involved (this is done at the control panel);
2. Set the users (i.e. actuators) of the groups concerned in the desired state (load ON, load OFF, load dimmed,
shutter up, shutter down, etc.). This operation must be carried out directly on the actuators and related controls;
3. Store the scenario in memory (this is done at the control panel);
4. Rename the scenario (this is done at the control panel).
Notes.
• The order in which steps 1 and 2 are carried out is not important; simply remember that the scenario will store
the status of all the actuators in the groups involved.
• The control interface does not control and is not controlled by any of the scenarios. Scenarios only control the
actuators in functional groups, and control interfaces are devices with inputs only.
Procedure for creating a scenario.
Open the Scenarios menu
Scenes Setup Scene control 01 New scenario select
Normal scenario select
Enter the name of the scenario using the buttons t u to select the letters and confirm each letter with Car P. It
is possible to choose an upper or lower case character with A..a. Confirm with Save.
Select the item
Associated groups select add group select
Scroll through the list of groups using the buttons p q and select by pressing Associate. The selected groups
are marked by a P.
It is possible to remove a single group with the item Remove, or add or remove all the groups with Ass.All, Rem.All.
At the end press the Save button, the control panel will ask you to set the actuator status and then press the memor
button; The control panel confirms saving has been completed. Close to go back to the groups screen.
Now press back to go back to view the menu for managing the set scenario.
59
Scenarios
Warning.
• Select Normal when the scenario is composed of functional groups belonging to a single control panel.
• Select Global only when the scenario must be composed of functional groups belonging to a number of lines. In
this case, the “Create Scenario” operation must be performed on all the systems and the same Global scenario
must be selected on each of them.
Using the buttons of the groups involved in the scenario, set the users by placing them in the desired state (ON
or OFF, shutter raised or lowered, thermostat ON, etc.); during this phase, the green Led of the devices belonging
to the functional groups flash so that they can be identified clearly.
Press the Memor button on the control panel to confirm the operation.
• Selecting Global, the procedure is similar:
Example.
We want to create a scenario involving a number of functional groups in two different control panels (example:
system 1 with Area = 1 and Line =1, System 2 with Area = 1 and Line = 2). Follow the procedures described
above to create two separate scenarios for the two systems, taking account of the constraints listed below:
• the scenarios must have the same number/index of scenario;
• the two scenarios must be defined as Global
Important.
When saving scenarios involving roll-up blind switches and/or relay actuators configured as
one-position stable, it is necessary to carry out the following operations:
• Roll-up blind switches: The state of the roller shutters of the saved scenario depends on the last command
received from the roller shutter actuator regardless of the OFF time set in the Parameters menu. For instance,
if the off delay is 5 s and the last command received is “roller shutter up," if the scenario is saved after 5 s the
status of the command to be saved will be "roller shutter up."
• One-position stable relay actuators: The state with which the relay actuator set as one-position stable is
saved in a scenario is tied to the status of the relay and not the last command received. For instance, if the
relay is configured as one-position stable with an off delay of 5 s and if the scenario is saved after the relay has
re-opened the contact, on activating this scenario the relay will remain open. It follows that if it is desired to
save the closure of the relay in the scenario it is necessary to set it beforehand as two-position stable, having it
closed later by a command of its group and then saving the scenario. Lastly the one-position stable operation
must be restored with the Parameters menu of the relay actuator.
6.2 Activating a scenario.
When a scenario is activated, it retrieves the states stored in memory for all the actuators in the functional groups
involved; the operation can be performed at the control unit, or through a control device.
6.2.1 Activating with the control panel.
If the scenario is activated from the control panel, the procedure is as follows:

6.2.2 Activation through a button control.
• As well as from the control panel, a scenario can be activated from an appropriately configured control
device, which must never belong to any group and which must never be configured from the control
panel. The control devices that can be used are:
• simple push-button control: can be associated with one scenario only;
• toggle switch control: can be associated with two scenarios, one for the up position and one for the
down position; if it is associated with one scenario only, the unused position can be activated only for
controlling a new scenario, and not for any other functions (for example, on/off).
• infrared remote control 01849: the scenarios that can be associated depend on the number and on
the configuration assigned to the infrared receivers (Eikon 20516, Idea 16956, Plana 14516).
Scenes setup button association select
Highlight the relevant scenario with p q then press t.int.

Load control
7. Load control.
The By-me home automation system can be used to monitor the amount of mains power being consumed, and
so prevent the miniature circuit breaker from being tripped due to overload, by disconnecting the controlled loads
if necessary.
To monitor the amount of power being consumed, it is necessary to install load control module 01855, which is
managed (like the other system devices) by the control unit.
Load control module 01855 can restore disconnected users automatically, as soon as the total consumption of the
system returns to a level below the setting.
7.1 Functionality.
Load control module 01855 can monitor up to 8 groups, which supply the same number of loads, and can have
4 different settings:
• Auto OFF-ON: automatic load connection or disconnection depending on the amount of power consumed;
• Auto OFF Man ON: automatic load disconnection, followed by manual connection;
• Always ON: load always connected irrespective of the power consumed.
• Always OFF: load always disconnected irrespective of the power consumed;
One of the four settings listed above can be selected for each group, irrespective of the settings of the other groups.
Each group can be associated with a toggle switch, which can be used to force the setting to Always ON (by
pressing ON on the button); the override condition is indicated by the LED on the button, which remains lit
continuously. If the OFF button is pressed, the control returns to the condition set by the control panel.
When in “Auto OFF Man ON” mode, if the load control module has been tripped, the relay can be reactivated as
follows:
• by operating the toggle switch belonging to the group (if present) pressing ON and then OFF;
• from the control unit, by resetting the desired load control option [see paragraph “Load management”, page 65].
7.1.1 Time slots.
The system Load Control function By-me can be used to manage loads during certain times of the day, i.e.
to set the time slots during which one or more of the 8 groups dedicated to load control will be activated or
switched off. To do this it is necessary to create a specific weekly time program indicating at what times of the
various days of the week the loads must be in Always OFF mode and in which the control must be of the type
set in the control panel (example Auto OFF - ON). The weekly time program must have no input group; one or
two groups in the load control must be selected as the program output.
63
Load control
Notes.
• If the Always ON state is set using a push-button, the timetable is disabled until a new state is selected (using
the push-button or by adjusting the device parameters at the control unit).
• The timetable is not disabled if the Always ON state is set at the control unit; in this case, the program must
be disabled through the programming menu if necessary.
7.1.2 Selecting the loads to be controlled.
Warning!
When selecting the loads to be monitored, pay special attention to electrical appliances that have to
be continuously connected to the power supply (refrigerators, freezers, etc.); the power outlets for
these appliances are not monitored.
7.2 Power management.
The Power Management function is used to control the level of power consumption, by setting up to two maximum
consumption thresholds, with a validity period for the second threshold.
For systems with a “conventional” electricity meter, it is enough to set a value for the first threshold and leave the
validity period of the second threshold at zero. For systems with an electronic meter (for example, Enel in Italy), both
thresholds can be set in order to control the loads in the same way as the meter does. In the case of an electronic
meter with an Enel domestic contract, set the parameters (referring to the values stated in the contract) as shown
in the following example:
• nominal contract power: 3 kW; a level of power 10% higher than the nominal contract power can be consumed
for an unlimited period (3.3 kW in this case);
• maximum power usable for a limited period: 4 kW;
• maximum period for which maximum power can be used: 3 hours.
The above information can be used to decide the values to be set in the By-me control panel:
• first threshold: 3.3 kW;
• second threshold at the maximum power value: 4 kW;
• validity period for the second threshold: 1.5 hours (half of the contract value).
N.B.
• The threshold values must differ from each other by at least 20% of Threshold 1.
If the value of Threshold 1 is set first and then the Threshold time, the control panel will automatically set
the minimum permissible value for Threshold 2.
• If the meter is electronic, the thresholds are set at 110% and 130% of the contract value (these values
must always be confirmed with the power provider).
Warning!
If in doubt, check the values by contacting the customer assistance service of the power provider.

Load control
7.2.1 Create functional group
Perform the following operations:
Menu setup configuration group control load control 032 New group select
Name the group as described on page 27.
Add the devices in the group as described on page 26.
N.B. In the group created it is necessary to configure at least one relay actuator device and the current sensor
01855.
7.2.1 Displaying the level of power consumed.
The control panel can display the amount of power consumed by the system, at any time.
Others loads
The control panel displays the power input in KW and the state of the controlled loads.
7.2.2 Setting the power consumption control.
To set the thresholds for controlling the power consumed, follow the procedure below:
Others Loads setup power control select
Move onto the threshold you want to set with p q, press Change and with p q set the desired value; At
the end of this operation, conclude with Set.
The threshold time is also set in a similar way; at the end of the operation, press Save and the control panel
will confirm saving.
7.3 Load management.
Each group can consist of one or more relays that control the power outlets that supply particular electrical
appliances (oven, washing machine, stereo, etc.). Each group can be assigned a priority, which determines the
order in which appliances are disconnected once the power threshold has been exceeded.
Each group can also contain a toggle switch, which can be used to force the group relay(s) to ON, irrespective of
the priority set in the load conditions.
The load control groups must be created as described in the paragraph “Creating a new functional group - page 22”.
Groups must be created by including the desired relays, and load control module 01855, which must be selected for each
group by pressing the configuration button and the toggle switch if necessary.
N.B.
• In the Load Control group, it is essential to configure load control module 01855 in order to allow display on the control panel.
• The load must be connected on terminal C-NO of the relay actuator.
65
Load control
Appliances such as refrigerators or freezers, which need to be powered continuously, must be connected to
uncontrolled power outlets.
For other devices, set a priority value of 1 for the more important loads (these will be disconnected last), and higher
priority number for the loads to be disconnected first.
Press the configuration buttons of the load control module 01855, of the relay actuator governing the oven and if
necessary add a button for forcing.
7.3.1 Priority settings.
To set or modify the priority value of a group, follow the procedure below:
Others Loads setup Priority select
The control panel displays the registered load control groups.
Scroll through the list of groups (if present) and their priorities using the p q buttons. After identifying the
group concerned, press the Change button.
Set the priority value using the p q buttons, then press Set;
At the end of these operations save the settings with Save, the control panel will confirm the operation has
been performed.
Warning!
The control unit assigns priority 1 to the first group created, 2 the second, and so on. However, these
priority values can still be changed at any time.
If a priority already assigned is assigned to another group, this group is given the desired priority, and
the others are moved to the next higher value.
On moving a group from a high priority to a lower priority (for instance from priority 1 to 4), all the
other groups with priorities between these two values will be increased by one level of importance (for
instance, the group with priority 2 will become priority 1, etc.).
Example of adding a new group and then changing the priority assigned automatically.
• Existing groups:
• Group A: priority 1
• Group B: priority 2
• Group C: priority 3
• New group to insert: Group D (created with priority 4)
• Priority of Group D is changed from 4 to 2
• New order of priority:
• Group A: priority 1
• Group D: priority 2
• Group B: priority 3
• Group C: priority 4
66
Load control
7.3.2 Load management.
The load control mode can be decided for each group by selecting Automatic, Semiautomatic, Force On,
Force Off.
• Automatic: The load is disconnected automatically depending on the priority assigned, and reconnected
automatically when the power consumption falls below the set threshold;
• Semiautomatic: the load is disconnected automatically depending on the assigned priority, and must be
reconnected manually once power consumption has fallen below the set threshold;
• Force OFF: the power outlet is never supplied;
• Force ON: the power outlet is always supplied.
Others Loads Operation
Scroll through the list of groups (if present); from here it is possible to read the state, priority and type of
management. With buttons A,B,C,D it is possible to choose the type of management.
Important: If the values of “Threshold 1”, “Threshold 22 and “Threshold Time” have been set, as soon as the input
power exceeds “Threshold 1” (P > Threshold 1) the sensor is able to ensure absorption up to a value of “Threshold
2” for a time equal to the “Threshold Time” and disconnecting any loads (according to the set priorities) to bring the
input power back to a lower value than “Threshold 2” (P < Threshold 2).
After the “Threshold Time” the maximum power that can be drawn is limited to the value of “Threshold 1” for the
set time (P < Threshold 1) disconnecting any loads (according to the priorities); at the end of the “Threshold Time”
the cycle starts over again.
7.3.3 Load status.
To check the status of a load, follow the procedure below:
Others loads
The starting screen shows the instantaneous power input and a summary window of the Off loads, Forced
On or On. With buttons B and D it is possible to access the disconnected zones (Off) or forced On. With the
Operation menu it is possible to operate on them with button C.
If there are no disconnected loads or forcings, pressing buttons B and D does not lead to any items.
Button A enables accessing the list of events from which it is possible to display details relating to the date,
time, group and type of action (manual switch-on, automatic switch-off….).
The disconnected zones can be reset or forced ON (via the menu called up with button B); the forced ON
zones can be reset with the control panel (via the menu called up with button D) or with a suitably configured
toggle switch.

Load control
7.4 Associating an indicator group.
The load control module can be associated with a group that indicates whether one or more loads have been
disconnected. This group can consist of one or more relays configured in two-position stable mode. An ON
message is sent to this group each time the load control module is tripped and disconnects some of the loads, and
an OFF message is sent when when all controlled loads are in the ON state.
Others Loads setup power control
Move onto the indicator item Grp press Change and select the relevant group; lastly, press Set.
The control panel goes back to the previous screen.
Confirm it all with Save; The control panel confirms the operation has been completed.
N.B.: The warning Grp must be created like any other group in the Automation menu.
7.5 LED signals of the module 01855.
The load control module has LEDs to visually signal the load status and phases of device operation.
The eight LEDs signalling the break in the load take on the following meanings:
• LED ON = load OFF
• LED OFF = load ON
The status LED has the following meanings:
• during the configuration phase = red LED ON steady
• during ordinary adjustment (one threshold): - LED OFF = normal operation
- green LED ON = set threshold exceeded
- red LED blinking = alarm
• during multiple adjustment (two thresholds and threshold time): - LED OFF = normal operation
- green LED blinking = exceeded threshold 1 and maximum drawable limit equal to the value of threshold 2
- green LED ON = maximum drawable limit equal to the value of threshold 1
- red LED blinking = alarm.

8.2.1 Switch on outside lights in the evening.
• Desired program:
• Switch on outside lights in the evening;
• Switch on the lights depending on light conditions, and in any case not before 18:00;
• Switch off at 24:00.
• Weekly clock timing: use a program with operations starting at 18:00 and ending at 24:00, which is the
same for every day of the week (cyclical clock).
• Inputs: dusk/dawn sensor input through a contact interface (Eikon 20515, Idea 16955; Plana 14515).
Create a group that contains the attachment interface to be used as input 1 of the lighting program. The
contact interface will send an ON message if light intensity is low or an ON message if the light intensity is
high.
• Outputs: relay actuator (Eikon 20535, Idea 16975, Plana 14535, 01850) that must belong to the output
group of the lighting program.
Set the relay in two-position stable mode. Select “Group ON-OFF” as output message.
Note.
A contact interface is used as an input because an external dusk/dawn sensor is used, which is not available
in the Vimar catalogue.
Warning!
The dusk/dawn sensor must be placed in an area where it is not directly exposed to other light sources
(for example car headlights), so that the outside lights are not switched off each time another light

8.2.2 Daily watering.
• Desired program:
• water the garden in the evening;
• start the program at 20:00 hours, but only if the moisture level in the soil requires it;
• water two different areas of the garden at different times, for a period of 15 minutes in each area.
• Weekly clock timing: a timer program is used for the required days.
The timer program is then set with operations starting at 20:00 and ending at 20:40. The “start watering”
command will be sent to the relay for area 1, and the “stop watering” command will be sent automatically
after 15 minutes.
The “start watering” command will be sent to the relay for area 2 after the first 15 minutes of watering, and
the “stop watering” command will be sent automatically after 15 minutes.
• Inputs:
• input from moisture sensor through a contact interface (Eikon 20515, Idea 16955; Plana 14515).
Create a group that includes the attachment interface to be used for input 1 to the watering program.
The contact interface will send an ON message if watering is required or an OFF message if the level of
moisture in the soil means that watering is not required.
Set the interface to “normal” or “inverted” operation, depending on the specifications of the moisture
sensor (NO or NC).
• on/off override input from a push-button (for example Eikon 20521, Idea 16961; Plana 14521).
This device must be used only if watering is to be forced on or off manually; override is possible only if
the timer program is valid.
Register the device in a group and associate it with input 2 of the watering program; configure the
operating mode as for an ON/OFF toggle switch.
Set the “Logic” for inputs 1 and 2, selecting AND so that watering starts only if both inputs are ON (i.e.
both the moisture sensor and the button); or select OR if watering is to start if at least one or both of
the inputs are at ON (i.e. either the moisture sensor or the button is On). The watering function can thus
be disabled if the AND condition is set; conversely, if the OR condition is set, the watering function can
be forced On using the button.
• Outputs:
• Create two output groups; in the first group, configure the relay as one-positin stable that deactivates
after a 15 minute delay; in the second group, configure the relay as a one-position stable that activates
after a 15 minute delay and deactivates after a 15 minute delay. Set “ON only” as the output message.

Programming events
Note.
For the required functionality, the moisture sensor must be placed in an area not affected by the watering, so
that the water itself does not cause the sensor to react.
Warning!
When first installed, the attachment interface must be made to react at least once, in order to indicate
the status to the control panel. This operation can be carried out on the moisture sensor itself, or by
closing and then re-opening the contacts on the interface using a jumper.

Intrusion Detection Alarm System Integration
9. Integration of the passive infrared motion detector.
As already mentioned in the previous chapters, if the By-me system incorporates the intrusion detection alarm
system (or future incorporation is planned), the control panel must be configured in Area 00 and Line 00 together
with the intrusion detection alarm devices.
The passive infrared detector (Eikon 20485 and 20486, Idea 16935 and Plana 14485 or for surface mounting
01828) can be used in three different ways:
1. installed in the Intrusion Detection Alarm System, configured from the control panel and not visible to the other
systems;
2. installed in the lighting control system, configured from the control panel and not visible to the other systems;
3. installed in the Intrusion Detection Alarm System, configured from the control panel and visible also from the
lighting control system.
Methods 1. and 2. are the normal configurations of the device for the two above systems; with method 3. the
sensor is used as follows:
• the IR detector is installed in the Intrusion Detection Alarm System and configured from the control panel;
• the IR detector is afterwards configured by the control panel as belonging to a group of the automation system.
• it is lastly necessary to “open” the group on the router manually or select Sync Router.
When the intrusion detection alarm system is not connected, the infrared detector sends an ON message to the
selected group (if the IR sensor detects a presence and the dusk/dawn sensor has detected the appropriate light
conditions); The sensor parameters are managed by the control panel. The IR detector can belong to the intrusion
detection alarm system and to at most 8 other groups in the lights control system (automation).
Summing up, then, after configuring the infrared detector as an intrusion detection alarm system, insert it in an
“automation” group. To include the IR detector in a group by the control panel, see paragraph 4.4.1 “Creating a
new functional group”, page 22.
The presence detectors have the Brightness threshold parameter that by default is set to 100 (maximum value);
the value will be lowered depending on the brightness of the environment in which the detector is installed (for very
bright environments the brightness threshold will be set to 0).
Duration of actuation (default value 30 s): used, with the system OFF, to repeat the command message for the associated actuator. In practice, after commanding the actuator, the detector checks whether there are any additional
movements for a period of time equal to the duration of actuation and, if this has occurred, at the end of this time
a new message will be sent to the actuator irrespective of the brightness setting.
When the sensors detect a presence and the brightness is suitable, or when the contacts of the contact interfaces
are opened, the parameters of these devices are managed by the control unit in the intrusion detection alarm system group (zone) in which they are configured.
Note.
For all the information on the intrusion detection alarm system, see the Intrusion Detection Alarm System section in
this manual.

This sections describes the procedures for checking the device functions and how to replace them if necessary.
Setup diagnostics device diagnostics
Press Select; the control panel initiates a scan procedure to check that all the configured devices are functioning
correctly; if all devices are functioning correctly, the message No faulty devices is displayed.
If a faulty device is found, the control panel asks you to replace or remove the device. When the faulty device is
displayed, press Replace to replace or Remove for cancelling.
The control panel requests confirmation of the operation, press YES.
When making a replacement, if not using a new device, so with no configuration, the control panel displays an
error message.
In this case, proceed as explained in Configuration - Reset Management - Device Reset.
Press the device configuration push-button, the control panel confirms the replacement.
IMPORTANT
Follow the control panel instructions for replacing the faulty part. At the end of the operation, the control panel
indicates the outcome:
• Device replaced: the device has been replaced correctly, press ok to finish;
• Invalid device: Replacement was not completed correctly due to problems with the device, or you are trying to
configure a different device.
Note.
When a device is replaced, all the parameters of the replaced device are restored to the new device, as these
parameters are also stored on the control unit. The only exception to this is the values stored in the actuators, and
the data related to scenarios.
To recreate the scenario as it was before replacement of the device, proceed as follows:
• call the scenario, so that all actuators involved go into the statuses stored in the scenario;
• place the device in the position desired for the scenario;
• save the scenario in the control panel again, as described in paragraph 6.1 “Creating a scenario”, page 59], checking
that the actuators are in the desired position.
N.B.
• It is not possible to replace the infrared receiver (Eikon 20516, Idea 16956; Plana 14516) via the diagnostics
menus; after identifying the faulty device it is then necessary to remove it and reconfigure the replacement receiver
as if it were a new device and lastly re-associating the remote control buttons.
• If replacing an actuator with relay output (Eikon 20535, Idea 16975; Plana 14535) associated with the Load
Control function, it is necessary from the control panel to force the new actuator ON and then bring it back to the
desired operating condition (see par. 7.1 on page 63).
• If replacing a thermostat (Eikon 20513-20514, Idea 16953-16954; Plana 14513-14514) via the Diagnostics
menu, the control panel resets it in Local mode and in the Off status.

Diagnostics and maintenance
10.2 Remote communications management.
10.2.1 Remote control.
To enable or disable remote control through the TP interface/telephone communicator 01848, follow the
procedure below:
Setup Diagnostics select Remote Diagnostics select
Enabled
Disabled
Select the desired item using the push-buttons p q; confirm with Select and press Save.
To manage the communications, refer to the instruction sheet for the TP interface/telephone communicator
01848 or the instructions manual of the communicator 01942.
It is then possible to run system diagnostics with the GSM communicator that will inform the user about the
number and type of faulty devices with the respective physical address. The remote diagnostics can be run
for a maximum number of 8 control panels provided that the 8 systems belonging to them (one for each
control panel) are connected to a BUS via the appropriate Routers and in at least one of these there is a GSM
communicator. To perform this operation, keep meticulously to the procedures described in the instructions
manual of the GSM communicators 01941, 01942 and interface 01848 (that must be combined with 01941).
10.3 Control panel software release.
Run the following procedure:
Setup Information select
The control unit displays:
• HW version
• SW release
• Video: HW version
• Area

Remote control
11. Remote control.
The system can be connected to remote control devices through a “TP interface/telephone communicator 01848".
In the case of a number of systems connected to each other through “line coupler 01845 interfaces”, it is sufficient
to use a single “TP interface/telephone communicator 01848”, which can be installed in any of the systems.
If the Burglar Alarm System via Vimar Bus is installed, the interface can be installed as a component of the burglar
alarm system, as it is also supplied in the event of a power failure (by the back-up battery).
11.1 Turningon SAI by SMS via GSM Communicator 01941 with interface 01848, or via GSM
Communicator 01942.
With the menu SAI->Setup->SAI Key Management->Zone->Interfaces, it is possible to define a GSM/User
interface association; this procedure allows the control panel to interpret remote activation via SMS as an activation
operation performed directly in the control panel by the selected user.
Afterwards, from the SAI->Setup->SAI Key Management->Zone->Central unit, it is possible to define a User/
Zone association; this procedure defines which zones of the system are for the user associated with the GSM
interface and which are the zones that can be turned on and off remotely with the communicator (see chap. 7.1
“Association of partitions with SAI control panel” on page 168).
N.B.
• By default, after learning and authenticating the GSM interface, the user associated with activation of the
intrusion detection alarm system via SMS is the Administrator, that (again by default) is enabled to turn on all the
SAI zones.
• The “On/Off zone” button of the main menu of the SAI takes priority over everything; it is therefore able to disable
any zone no matter what user is associated with remote activation via SMS.

Connection to the interface 01998.U
12. Fitting for connection to interface 01998.U
The interface 01998.U permits connecting the control panel 20550 + 01960 to the PC (on which the EasyTool
Professional LTsoftware is installed) via the connector on the front of the device.
After hooking the module 01960 on the back of the monitor 20550, it is necessary to carry out the following operations:
• connect the marked end with the red connector of the lead (supplied with the module 01960) in the specific
compartment in the support of the monitor 20550;
• connect the other end of the lead to the 8-pin PIN-STRIP connector on the back of the module 01960 (see fig.
3.3.1 page 17). The control panel 20550 + 01960 is then ready to be connected to the interface 01998.U (see figures 12.1 and 12.2).

System integration
13.Integration of the By-me system with the Soundsystem, Digibus and Elvox
Two Wire video door entry systems and with the CCTV system.
The monitor 20550 is fitted for being integrated with the control panel module 01960 and the Soundsystem 01961,
Digibus 01962 and Two Wire 01963 video door entry modules or the CCTV module 01964.
If both modules 01960 and 01961 (or 01960 and 01962 or 01960 and 01963) are present on the monitor, the
appliance will work in home automation mode and will switch onto video door entry mode every time there is an
external call or when the user activates it via the navigation menus on the home automation side (selecting Video
Door Entry).
If a call arrives, the control panel will switch over from home automation mode to video door entry mode; after a
time-out (that can be set on the video door entry system), the control panel will switch back onto home automation
mode. If you want to switch from video door entry mode to home automation mode before this time-out has
elapsed you need to press button L or button G on the monitor.
If both modules 01960 and 01964 are present on the monitor, the appliance will be in home automation mode
and will switch onto CCTV mode when the user activates it via the navigation menus on the home automation side
(selecting CCTV); in this case, thanks to the module 01960, it will be possible to set the following parameters of
the CCTV system:
• Setting time for self-shutdown of the CCTV monitor
the system enables setting the time for self-shutdown in the time interval ranging from a minimum of 1 min. to a
maximum of 4 h (in steps of 1 min.)
Main menu Others CCTV Setup Auto switch-off Auto switch-off 001m
Set the desired time value, then confirm with Save.
• Setting the cyclical switching time of the audio/video channels
the system enables setting the cyclical switching time in a time interval ranging from a minimum of 1 s to a
maximum of 4 min. (in steps of 1 s).
Main menu Others CCTV Setup Video Camera Cycle Video Camera Cycle 001s
Set the desired time value, then confirm with Save.
Similarly for the control panel module, the video door entry module 01961 or 01962 or 01963 or the CCTV module
01964 must be inserted in the compartment at the top on the back of monitor 20550 in correspondence with the
connector bearing the words “VIDEO DOOR ENTRY/CCTV MODULE”.
For all the details relating to the installation and management of the video door entry systems and the CCTV
system, see the instructions manuals and diagrams supplied with the 01961, 01962, 01963 and 01964 modules.

System integration
14.Association between the functions of the By-me system and the
commands of the Two Wire video door entry system.
This chapter illustrates the functions of the By-me control panel concerning integration between the home
automation and video door entry systems. These functions enable carrying out specific actions in the video door
entry system (for example, unlocking, switching on video cameras, etc.) starting with the commands sent by the
automation system (for example, from the By-Me control equipment, from Media Center, etc.).
These functions are accessible from the Video door entry unit menu via the “External Commands Management”
and “Permission Management” options.
In the case of Due Fili video door entry systems where there are monitors 21550/20550/14550 combined
with the module 01963 and with the presence of By-me home automation modules 01960 (or control
panels with video door entry unit 01956), the following applies:
- The maximum number of indoor stations per pillar or after separator 692S, made with art.
21550/20550/14550 + 01960 + 01963, is 4 (that is a maximum of 4 independent home automation
subsystems connected to the pillar of the Due Fili system).
- It is possible to connect other Due Fili devices (art. 21553, 21554, 01955, 20557, 20577,
21550/20550/14550/+01963, etc.) up to a maximum of 32 total devices per pillar or after separator 692S.
In all the above cases, if you need to exceed the maximum number of devices, it is necessary to expand
the system by using separators 692S and their power supply units creating separate galvanic isolations.
14.1 External Commands Management
Main menu Others Video entry syst Setup Manage external commands
This menu permits creating up to 8 external commands, where external command means the association between
an input home automation system group and an output video door entry command with possibly an index
parameter or destination ID (depending on the command).
The groups that can be used as inputs are only the automation groups (lights) and they must be specially created
to then be used directly via the push-button associated with the group (in this case it suffices to create a group of
solely commands with no actuators) or on the Media Center (in which case an empty group is sufficient).
For each of the commands it is possible to specify the following fields:
Input = group that is used as the command input
Command = type of video door entry command you want to make; the available commands are the following:
- Lock
- Function F
- Function F1
- Function F2
- Aux. Function
- Communication termination
- Self-start
- Selective Start
Index = parameter that has different meanings depending on the type of command selected (see the following
paragraph e “Description of commands”).

85
System integration
Self-start:
This command permits activating self-start on an entrance panel.
The only point of using this command if it is done with the MediaCenter program since it does not switch the
control panel monitor from home automation onto video door entry, but only activates self-start for an entrance
panel to display the images on the video terminal connected to the Media Center pc.
Settings to be made on the control panel:
- Input: Input group
- Command: Self-start
- Index/ID: Panel ID
With MediaCenter it is possible to specify the ID of the panel; in this case the set “Index” parameter is ignored.
Repeatedly sending the message runs the self-start sequence programmed on the panel for the relevant
apartment (applies both for the Master panel and for the audio/video interfaces 69AM).
WARNING: The command is actuated only if the relevant permissions are active (see paragraph 14.2 “Permission
Management”).
Selective Start:
This command permits selectively activating a video camera connected to an audio/video interface 69AM.
The only point of using this command if it is done with the MediaCenter program since it does not switch the
control panel monitor from home automation onto video door entry, but only activates self-start for a video camera
to display the images on the video terminal connected to the Media Center pc.
Settings on the control panel:
- Input: Input group
- Command: Selective Start
- Index/ID: Panel ID
Using MediaCenter it is possible to specify the video camera you want to switch on (if the indicated panel is the
interface for video cameras 69AM) and possibly also indicate the panel to switch on; in this case the set “Index”
parameter is ignored.
WARNING: The command is actuated only if the relevant permissions are active (see paragraph 14.2 “Permission
Management”).
For further details see the MediaCenter program manual.
14.2 Permission Management
By using the commands described above, in a condominium video door entry system it is possible to enable some
users to view the images transmitted by video cameras that could be reserved for other users, thereby creating
obvious problems relating to their privacy.
In terms of the video door entry system, it is only possible to run self-start from any indoor station, but the sequence
of video cameras that can be viewed is set by the installer for each of these indoor stations, basically assigning the
viewing rights of each user.
The By-Me control panel offers the possibility of selectively viewing any video camera in the system; in the light of
this, a function has been added that enables managing the permission for activating the panels and video cameras
installed in the system in order to delegate the installer to assign user viewing permission for any video camera.
86
Installation regulations - Standard compliance
Main menu Others Video entry syst
Setup Manage Permission
With the above menu it is possible to set up to 16 permissions for switching on a video camera on an entrance
panel (the panel can be irrespectively an ordinary Two Wire video door entry panel or the audio/video interface
69AM).
With the permission list it is possible to select one to create it (New Permission) or edit it. By selecting a panel (from
1 to 15, where 1= master panel) and a video camera (from 0 to 16, where 0 = any video camera) it is possible to
enable viewing the video camera(s) selected with the By - Me control panel.
WARNING: The menu that allows permission management can be displayed only via the Administrator password.

General characteristics of the system
1. General characteristics of the system
The intrusion detection alarm system is used, in residential and commercial sectors, to make intrusion detection
alarm systems with up to 30 zones and, via a contact interface and/or radio interface, to manage technical alarms.
The modular appliances are made with the support hooking system and colours of the Eikon, Idea and Plana
series.
The system features:
• wiring on two wires. Fast and simplified installation, also in the case of restructuring, using a single pair of wires
for connections, which distributes both the extra low supply voltage (29 V d.c.) and the monitoring and control
signals for the devices.
The sheathed and twisted pair is used (Vimar 01840: 2x0.50 mm2, nominal working voltage 300/500 V)
•polarized shunted connection for all devices, without any particular order, respecting the polarities marked on the
terminals.
•detectors with 17 beams on 4 planes. Vimar patent offering a better angle of detection than the conventional
types with 14 beams on 3 planes.
•dual technology detectors. Available in both recess- and surface-mounting versions, they offer extremely high
performance both in detecting intruders and in preventing false alarms.
•digital keypads. Utmost simplicity and extraordinary flexibility in managing activation/deactivation (total or partial)
of the system via differentiated numerical codes (up to at most 32).
•transponder keys. Absolute safety and reliability when switching the system on and off. They also permit
switching on the system partially according to the configuration of the connectors. They offer billions of encrypted
combinations from which the system auto-assigns the one that will then be acknowledged. They work without a
battery, so they have unlimited, maintenance-free operation.
•remote control. Can switch the system on and off, using the RF interface as connector.
•back-up unit. Houses the batteries (not supplied) that in the event of a power failure supply the system for the
time prescribed by the standards. Available in the recess-mounting version or for installation in a consumer unit.
•contact interfaces. Available in three different types (with 1 or 2 inputs or with 12 V d.c. output), they are used
to connect detectors to the bus system such as: magnetic contacts for doors and windows, rope contacts for
protecting roller shutters, impact contacts for protecting doors and windows, infrared barriers. In addition, they
can be used to generate technical alarms.
•simplified configuration. By pressing the front push-button of the devices connected to the BUS, the components
dialogue with each other and self-learn the configuration parameters.
When configuration is complete it is always possible to identify any device by pressing the push-button on the
control panel.
•partitioning. Up to 30 distinct zones; each zone can be freely partitioned. Each user can be assigned a partition
and it is also possible to actuate partial activation/deactivation. •RF interface. Allows using the sensors and remote controls of the Radio Frequency system to extend coverage in
places where it is not possible to add any cables. It works as a connector so it is possible to switch the system
on totally or partially by means of the remote controls. In addition, they can be used to generate technical alarms.
92
General characteristics of the system
•optical antitamper. All the devices are protected against attempted tampering, including disconnection and shortcircuiting of the connection line; the associated messages are controlled via BUS. The Eikon, Idea and Plana
modular appliances are equipped with an infrared optical antitamper device: each appliance protects itself by
emitting an infrared ray at the back that alerts the system to the slightest attempt at tampering. This solution,
patented by Vimar, requires no additional mechanical devices, it eliminates the risk of false alarms and simplifies
and reduces the work of installation.
•system customization. The innovative software permits customized setting from the control panel, according to
the characteristics of the rooms and the methods of using the system, the parameters of the various devices
(e.g., trigger time of the detectors and perimeter sensors, detection threshold, sensitivity of the antitamper).

General characteristics of the system
Project criteria
Making a burglar alarm system involves the following phases:
• determining the rooms to protect;
• identifying the number of zones in which you want to split up the system;
• determining the number of detectors and their location;
• choosing the location of the control panel, connectors, any relay actuators, contact interfaces, any radio interfaces
with the RF sensors to be associated
After setting the system project you move on to sizing it.
Sizing the system
The two main rules to observe for sizing the system correctly are the following:
• observe the maximum length of the connection cables between the devices (see following paragraph);
• correctly size the power supplies according to the dimensions of the system you are going to make; it is
fundamental to permit adequate operating time (24 h) in case of a 230 V~ mains power failure.
• if the input of the devices connected on the bus (except for the control panel and the back-up unit) is greater than
320 mA, it is necessary to add a second back-up unit connected to a second power supply 01801.
Maximum length of connections
The following rules must be observed:
• maximum length of the connections between the back-up units and the most distant device: 180 metres;
• maximum distance between a device and the most distant device: 360 metres;
• if using two back-up units you need to connect them at a greater distance apart than 40 m.
• maximum distance between back-up unit and its power supply 01801: 1 m.
• maximum distance between back-up unit and auxiliary battery holder unit 01803: 1 m.
Note. Obviously, the rules are the same for both types of backup unit (recess-mounting and DIN rail).

General characteristics of the system
Checking power input
To be able to size the system correctly, therefore checking the necessary number of back-up units, there is a system
card to fill in at the time of preparing and sizing.
This card, summarising the system configuration and programming, is particularly helpful when expanding the
system and/or for subsequent maintenance.
The card must be completed carefully following the instructions it gives and taking account of the following:
normally is required, for burglar alarm systems, requires a minimum operating time of 24 h in case of a mains
failure.
In these conditions the back-up unit 01804… can deliver a current of 60 mA for a time of 24 h.
If the total system consumption is less than or equal to 60 mA it is therefore possible to use just one back-up unit.
For consumption above this limit you need to determine the back-up units and auxiliary back-up units 01803... to
use by filling in the system card. The auxiliary back-up units 01803... supply another 60 mA for 24 h.
To ensure an operating time of 24 h, the system power input must not however exceed 240 mA (2 back-up units
01804... and 2 auxiliary back-up units 01803...).
Note
If there is no mains voltage, the control panel gives a battery supply message and disables the display backlighting
in order to reduce consumption (passing to an input of 30 mA); also the outdoor siren no longer draws any current
from the bus and, in this way, the buffer battery of the back-up unit lasts longer.
If the voltage powering the siren for outdoor use has a very low value it means that the battery is running down;
this causes a short alarm cycle, only if enabled.

• ZONE 3: basement detectors (garage, store and games room - 3 detectors);
• ZONE 4: perimeter (7 magnetic contacts);
Control points
• General connectors: internal, at the garage entrance, where it is possible to turn on the entire system (one
connector associated with all the partitions); via the control panel the user can turn on the entire system or part
of it before leaving the main entrance of the dwelling.
• Partitioning connectors: one connector in the games room where it is possible to turn on the entire system
except for partition 3, associated with zones 1, 2, 4; one connector in the bedroom where it is possible to turn
on only partition 4 (perimeter zone), and partition 3 (basement);
Audible warnings
• Siren for indoor use, in the back-up unit: located in the corridor of the dwelling;
• Siren for outdoor use: facing the street under the eaves;
98
Installation
2. Installation
Installation of the back-up unit 01804 and 01807.
Make the connections to the line, but leave the battery's quick couplers disconnected.
IMPORTANT!
When connecting two or more back-up units it is mandatory to observe the polarity of the BUS and power supply
line.
The colours of the two line wires help observe the polarities.
Polarity reversal trips the 500 mA delayed fuse in the back-up unit.
Installation of the siren for outdoor use (01806)
• For the cable passage use the hole PC;
• Secure the siren, make the connections as shown in the figure and connect the battery observing the polarities;
polarity reversal will cause the protection fuse to blow;
• After making the connections, leave the enclosure open to be able, afterwards, using the push-button, to
configure the siren in the configuration procedure for the entire system;

Installation
Installing modular flush-mounting appliances (control panel, digital keypads, connectors, IR
detectors, contact interfaces, relay actuators, RF interface).
Hook the appliances to the supports in the desired positions taking care that the optical tamper is positioned at
the bottom (see figure below).
The only connections to make are the ones to the bus.
It is necessary to observe the set polarity (each component has its terminals marked with + and -).
IMPORTANT!!
The detectors must be fitted taking care that the lens is always facing downwards (also the configuration button
and the LED must always be facing downwards).
The antitamper protection on all the flush-mounting components is optical (Vimar patent):
-an infrared LED on the back of the appliance emits a beam of IR rays, with variable power, onto the bottom of
the flush-mounting box;
-a receiver detects and checks the reflected ray;
If there is a fault, such as a decrease in reflection (an attempt at extracting the device from the box) and/or break
in the beam (attempted break-in), the system will generate an alarm.
Note
The antitamper system is based on the reflection of the infrared rays from the bottom of the flush-mounting box;
it must therefore be sound and not be black (black does not reflect IR rays).

The control panel governs the operation of the entire system. It displays all the control information and is used for
preliminary programming, configuration and, more generally, manage the system in its various states of operation.
The control panel saves up to 80 events that can be shown on the monitor.
The control panel permits splitting up the system into 30 separate zones (zone 31 is reserved for configuring the
back-up units, the sirens and for a radio interface or contact interface to implement the Panic function).
Control panel main screen.
The control panel's main screen displays the icons relating to the options most frequently used by the user:
• Alarm Stop: deactivates signalling the current alarm;
• List of alarms: displays a chronological list of the detected alarms;
• System On: activates the system in the set mode (when the system is active the displayed icon is System Off
that, if selected, deactivates the intrusion detection alarm system);
• Zones On/Off: used to obtain a quick partitioning that will involve all the connectors (done by any user or
connector).
Then with the option Connect zones it is possible to select the zones to activate.
Note.
On a line on which there is a control panel (20550 + 01960), a second control panel cannot be configured
(either 20550 + 01960 or the 2-module automation and/or intrusion detection alarm system control panels).

Indicators
• detects the motion of warm bodies in its area of coverage by means of the Fresnel lens;
• red LED:
- on steady during the configuration phase;
- blinking due to detecting intrusion or attempted break-in of the device;
The LED keeps on blinking until the alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is turned on again; therefore
it is not enough to turn off the system to cut off the alarm. This characteristic is useful to highlight the path
followed by any intruder.
• green LED blinking:
- detected the presence of a warm body with the system turned off;
- detected the presence of a warm body with the device not configured;
- detected the presence of a warm body in the WalkTest phase;
The area of detection, of the volumetric type, is obtained by using a Fresnel lens divided into 17 beams on 4
planes (Vimar patent).
104
System components
Installation
For the infrared presence detector to work properly you need to follow these installation rules:
- no not place any objects in front of the infrared sensor (plants, curtains, furniture, etc.);
- do not expose it to direct light from lamps or sunlight;
- do not subject it to the direct action of sources of heat;
- do not place it in the direction of sources of heat;
NO
NO
NO
NO
During the WalkTest phase the infrared detect detects a presence, signals the event to the control panel and
shows it to the user via a blinking green LED.
The device permits selecting the activation delay so that the user can enter and/or leave a room without the
system immediately triggering an alarm.
The most common application of this function is to turn on the system from inside the house and, afterwards, leave
by passing in front of one or more sensors without the system generating any alarm.
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Activation delay (default 0): the delay time can be set between 0 s and 62 s in steps of 1 s (0 s = instantaneous);
2) Zone: the assignment zone (between 1 and 30) is set from the control panel by selecting the number to the
SAI keyof the chosen zone in the specific menu;
3) PIR pulse threshold (default 3): when the detector detects a warm body in its area of coverage it generates a
sequence of pulses.
They are considered good only if they have a longer duration than the threshold set by the user (see point 4).
For the detector to generate an alarm the number of pulses set by the user (threshold setting) must be
exceeded; the greater the setting the greater the tolerance with which the device will signal an alarm
condition. The setting range is between 1 and 10.
4) PIR time threshold (default 0.4): permits selecting the minimum duration of the pulse beyond which an alarm
message is generated in line with the number of pulses selected in point 3.
The setting range is between 0.1 and 8 in steps of 0.1 s.
105
5) Brightness threshold (default value 100%): the degree of brightness is read by a photoresistor and expressed
with values ranging from 0% (light) to 100% (dark) in steps of 1%.
This parameter is optional and can be used in case of advanced functions (e.g. in an automation group).
At bottom left there is a rear view of the infrared detector.
6) Duration of actuation (default value 30 s): used, with the system OFF, to repeat the command message for the
associated actuator. In practice, after commanding the actuator, the detector checks whether there are any
additional movements for a period of time equal to the duration of actuation and, if this has occurred, at the
end of this time a new message will be sent to the actuator irrespective of the brightness setting.

3.2.2 Adjustable passive infrared motion detector.
This device, available for the Eikon series, is able to generate an alarm message when it detects motion of heatemitting bodies in its area of coverage. If it is configured in a By-me system where there is both the automation
and the intrusion detection alamr system, it is able to control a relay, with the intrusion detection alarm system off,
that can be used to switch on a light, activate a bell, etc. (see chap. 9 in the Automation section). The detector is
equipped with an articulated lens for installation at the top of a room and with lids for adjusting the cover.
The technical specifications are similar to the infrared detector 20485.
It is supplied in the following versions:
20486: 2 Eikon modules

3.2.3 Dual technology presence detector.
The dual technology sensor incorporates a microwave sensor and an infrared sensor and is able to signal people
or animals passing through its area of coverage. Dual technology enables making the
sensor sensitive to the most common causes of false alarms.
The sensor works in “AND” mode; this means that, when either sensor detects motion in the area of coverage it
remains on pre-alarm awaiting confirmation from the other sensor as well. Once this condition occurs the device
sends the signal to the control panel.
It is supplied in the following versions:
20487: 2 Eikon modules
16937: 2 Idea modules
14487: 2 Plana modules

Indicators
• Detecting the motion of warm bodies in the area of coverage by means of an infrared sensor.
When the system is on, the device detects moving bodies with a microwave sensor too; if the microwave and
infrared sensors detect movement at the same time there is an alarm signal (AND function).
• red LED:
- on steady during the phase of configuration and reset;
- blinking due to intrusion alarm or an attempt at tampering with the device; The LED keeps on blinking until the
alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is
turned on again. Therefore it is not enough to turn off the system to cut off the alarm.
- blinking when the device is powered.
107
System components
• green LED blinking:
- detected the presence of a warm body with the intrusion detection system turned off;
- detected the presence of a warm body with the device not configured;
- detected the presence of a warm body in the WalkTest phase.
The detection zone, of the volumetric type, is obtained by using a Fresnel lens divided into 17 beams on 4 planes
(Vimar patent) and by a microwave detector with an area of coverage of 80° on the horizontal plane and 30° on the vertical plane.

Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Activation delay (default 0): the delay time can be set between 0 s and 62 s in steps of 1 s
(0 s = instantaneous);
2) Zone: the assignment zone (between 1 and 30) is set from the control panel by selecting the number of the
chosen zone in the specific menu;
3) PIR pulse threshold (default 3): when the detector detects a warm body in its area of coverage it generates a
sequence of pulses.
They are considered good only if they have a longer duration than the threshold set by the user (see point 4).
For the detector to generate an alarm the number of pulses set by the user (threshold setting) must be
exceeded; the greater the setting the greater the tolerance with which the device will signal an alarm condition.
The setting range is between 1 and 10.
4) PIR time threshold (default 0.4): permits selecting the minimum duration of the pulse beyond which an alarm
message is generated in line with the number of pulses selected in point 3.
The setting range is between 0.1 and 8 in steps of 0.1 s.
5) Sensitivity of the antitamper device (default 0 that is disabled): the degree of sensitivity of the antitamper device
can be set between 0 (off) and 15 (from 1 to 15, the greater the setting the greater the degree of sensitivity
obtained).
6) Brightness threshold (default 100%): the degree of brightness is read by a photoresistor and expressed as a
percentage with values ranging from 0% (light) to 100% (dark) in steps of 1%.
This parameter is optional and can be used in case of advanced functions (e.g. in an automation group); a
typical application is to use the detector to control a relay that switches on a light; in this case, to have the
control in a bright room too, it is necessary to set a low threshold value.
7) Duration of actuation (default 30): if within the set time, in the range between 10 and 250 s, the device
detects a greater number of pulses than the threshold set in point 3, with the system off, a message is sent to
the actuator.
108
System components
Note: The device can be configured in an SAI application or in an Automation application.
If the detector is used both in an Automation application and in an SAI application, the device must always be
configured first in the intrusion detection alarm system and then in the automation system; having done this the
Automations group must be added to the Router via the specific menu Router
Management.
Installation
For the dual technology presence detector to work properly you need to follow these
installation rules:
- no not place any objects in front of the infrared sensor (plants, curtains, furniture, etc.);
- do not expose it to direct light from lamps or sunlight;
- do not subject it to the direct action of sources of heat;
- do not place it in the direction of sources of heat;
- do not put any metal items nearby;
- do not put two or more detectors in overlapping areas of coverage.
NO
NO
NO
NO
During the WalkTest phase the infrared detect detects a presence, signals the event to the control panel and
shows it to the user via a blinking green LED.
The device permits selecting the activation delay so that the user can enter and/or leave a room without the
system signalling an alarm.
The most common application of this function is to turn on the system from inside the house and, afterwards,
leave by passing in front of one or more sensors without the system generating an alarm.
Example: Delay set to 30 s.
On activating the system there is a time of 30 s to get out and 30 s to get back in (for a total of 60 s); if you go
back in after 60 s have passed and therefore with the system on, you have 30 s to turn off the system before it
signals an alarm.
Device reset
On the control panel, via the specific menu, select “Device Reset” and press the button on the device; the red LED
illuminates.
Hold down the device's button until the LED goes out (approximately 8 sec.); this operation:
- deletes the groups;
- sets the default parameters;
- changes the physical address of the device (in this phase the LED blinks green/red).

System components
• Transponder key
The transponder keys (01815), which need neither maintenance nor batteries,
are special devices, of the size of a key ring, whose function is similar to that of
conventional remote controls.
Each key is equipped with a unique code that is different for each one (1000
billion possible combinations) and, depending on the configuration assigned to
the connectors, it is possible to turn the alarm system on and/or off or partition it.
The transponder keys are closely correlated to the connectors that, in the phase
of configuration, store the codes they contain and send them to the control panel
for recognition.
Operation
The inductive coupling between the connector, which contains the primary winding of a transformer, and the
transponder key, which contains the secondary winding (coil in a small capsule), generates energy that activates
the secondary winding, which responds by modulating and transmitting the code.
The code is transmitted by setting the transponder key into contact (as shown by the position of the arrow) with
the connector, which is recognised and signalled to the system.
The keys can be called SAI and SPECIAL SAI.
• SAI: allows turning the system on/off through any one of the connectors in the system; turns on the partitions
and therefore the zones coupled with the connector.
Each connector can be coupled with up to 24 SAI keys, whose code can be recognised by all the connectors
• SPECIAL SAI: allows turning the system on/off only via the connector through which it was configured and it
activates only the zones associated with it.
Each connector can be coupled with up to 4 SPECIAL SAI keys.
The SPECIAL SAI key can be associated, on the same connector, with different partitions to the SAI key.

- Warning LED for pressing the button each time; the OK button has a two-colour red/green LED
- It stores up to 30 different 5-digit codes (100,000 combinations)
Operation
The device is used for total or partial activation and deactivation of the burglar alarm system.
Using the 12-key pad it is possible to type in a 5-digit PIN (access code) which then allows the user to select
the partitions to be switched on or off; a partition is a set of zones that are switched on or off at the same time.
Each PIN must be associated on the control panel with one or more partitions; this PIN allows activating or
deactivating only the partitions with which it has been associated.
Up to 9 different partitions can be created on the control panel.
Start-up procedure
1- reset the keypad (see Reset procedure of the device on page 166)
2- configure the keypad (see Add bus devices procedure on page 165)
3- enter a 5-digit PIN to be used as an access code on the control panel (see SAI key management – Registering
new key and new PIN digital keypad page 171)
4- enter at least one partition (Partition – Partition management page 170)
5- associate the PIN with the partition(s) created (Partition – association of partitions keypad codes page 170).
113
System components
Procedure for turning the system on/off
Key in the 5-digit PIN (access code) on the keypad and then press OK:
- if the PIN is not recognized as valid, the OK button blinks red for 5 seconds;
- if the code is recognized as valid, the button backlighting switches on for the currently active partition (on) in the
system and the OK button blinks green.
Each numerical button has the meaning of signalling and controlling the corresponding partition; button 1 controls
partition 1, button 2 controls partition 2 and so on.
The back-lighting of the individual keys provides a visual check of the on or off status of the individual partitions
in the system; if a partition is active, the corresponding key is backlit. For example, if partition 2 is active, button
2 will be backlit.
Button 0 has the meaning of a special command; via button 0 all the partitions associated with a certain PIN are
switched on or off.
On pressing button 0, if there are any partitions associated with the PIN that are active, they will be switched off
(button 0 LED off)
On pressing button 0, if the system is completely deactivated, all the partitions associated with the PIN will be
switched on (button 0 LED backlit if the system is completely active).
For instance, if a PIN is associated with partitions 2, 4 and 6, on pressing button 0 they will be switched on or off
together (that is it is not necessary to key in buttons 2, 4 and 6 individally).
If for a PIN the item “All partitions” has been selected on the control panel (see point 4 of the start procedure),
button 0 will activate and deactivate the system COMPLETELY and the backlighting of button 0 will indicate the
system status (completely on/off).
The backlighting of all the buttons is timed.
Summing up, then, if the PIN has been acknowledged as valid (green LED OK blinking), it is possible to switch on
and off each single partition that, in the start-up phase, was previously associated with the PIN itself. Pressing a
backlit button switches off the corresponding partition (the button goes out); vice versa, pressing a button that is
not backlit switches on the corresponding partition (the button lights up).
After selecting the desired partitions, press the OK button so that the control panel recognizes the change; the
latter, following the request from the keypad, switches on or off the partitions associated with the entered PIN and
sends the same enabling message to all the keypads in the system. At this stage, the keypad being used (that is
the one where the code has been entered), and this one only, will with the backlighting of the buttons show the
new situation of the activation/deactivation of the various partitions. This display will remain for approximately 5
seconds after which the buttons will switch off.
The keypad emits an audible warning that allows the user, in combination with the backlighting of the buttons, to
identify the current status of the system; more specifically:
- 1 beep if the system has been activated
- 2 beeps if the system has been deactivated
- 3 beeps if the system has been partially activated
Button C is used as the delete key.
Pressing button C while entering the PIN or during the partition on/off selection phase causes all the operations
performed to be cancelled.
Button C is the same button also used during the configuration procedure.
114
System components
A PIN code added to a keypad is also recognized by all the other keypads in the system; (up to a maximum of 30).
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Zone: the assignment zone from 1 to 30, set from the control panel by selecting the number of the chosen
zone in the specific menu;
2) Sensitivity of the antitamper device: (default 0 that is disabled) the degree of sensitivity of the antitamper device
can be set between 0 (off) and 15 (from 1 to 15, the greater the setting, the greater the degree of sensitivity
obtained).
3) Open if ON: (default OFF). This value permits deciding whether the keypad must activate an actuator located
in its same zone when the system is on.
4) Open if on standby: (default OFF). This value permits deciding whether the keypad must activate an actuator
located in its same zone when the system is off.
5) Activation sound: (default ON). Possibility of turning the system on/off indicator on/off.
Device reset
On the control panel, via the specific menu, select “Device Reset” and press button C on the device; the red
LED illuminates.
Hold down the device's button C until the LED goes out (approximately 8 sec.); this operation:
- deletes the groups;
- sets the default parameters;
- changes the physical address of the device (in this phase the LED blinks green/red).
When the LED stops blinking red/green and is off, the reset phase has concluded.

3.6 Siren for outdoor use
Equipped with polycarbonate enclosure resistant to the harshest atmospheric conditions, the siren for outdoor use
enables audible (can be heard far away) and visual warning of all alarm conditions. The siren is self-powered, it is
controlled by a microprocessor and is equipped with an indicator lamp (blinking flash) built in.
WARNING: "Zone 31” is reserved to the sirens, the back-up units and possibly the contact interfaces or RF
interfaces that are used for advanced applications (see chap.11 of this manual). If one or more contact or RF
interfaces are configured in zone 31 it is possible to activate a sound signal of the siren for outdoor use, even with
the system switched off or with any partitioning of the system.
This function only applies to burglar alarm devices such as contact interfaces 20490-16940-14490, 12 V contact
interfaces 20491-16941-14491 and radio interfaces 20493-16943-14493.
In short, therefore, if one or more of these devices are configured in zone 31 and detect an alarm, the siren
generates the sound signal whatever the system status.
This device is supplied in a single version:
01806: for surface mounting.

3.9 Contact interfaces
3.9.1 Contact interface
The contact interface is the device used to connect the burglar alarm system with the normally closed magnetic
alarm contacts, electro-mechanical rope contacts to protect blinds and roller shutters and anti-impact seismic
sensors to protect windows. In addition, if a generic detector (gas detector, etc.) is connected to one of its inputs,
it can be used to generate a technical alarm.
It is supplied in the following versions:
20488: 2 Eikon modules
16938: 2 Idea modules
14488: 2 Plana modules
Eikon
Idea
Plana
Technical characteristics
- Rated supply voltage (Vn): BUS 20-32 V d.c.
- Protection class: IP30
- Operating temperature: -5 -- +45 °C (for indoor use)
- Installation: flush or surface mounting (with surface mounting box 09975…)
- Type of protection: against opening and removal with optical antitamper device built in
- Consumption: 5 mA
- Possibility of programming the interface activation delay
- Possibility of programming the sensitivity of the interface for blinds and of the antitamper system
- Possibility of programming the relevant zone via the control panel
- Configuration button
- Indicator LED
The contact interface has:
- 2 terminals for connection to the bus (+ and -)
- a common output terminal (C)
- 4 input terminals for NC contacts: the tamper continuity wire (A), electromechanical rope contacts (S), magnetic
contacts (M), technical alarms (T).
Characteristics:
• It detects opening NC magnetic contacts, cutting the line of the magnetic contacts and of the antitamper
continuity wire, the movement of blinds or opening other NC contacts (technical alarm). To detect short circuiting
on the contacts line it is necessary to first connect a resistance of 15 kO in series with the line (see fig. page 136).
• It is used to activate the panic alarm warning that can be audible (see par. 11.6) or silent (see par. 11.2).
134
System components
Indicators:
• red LED for signals in the phase of configuration and alarm:
- on steady during the configuration/reset phase;
- blinking due to detecting contact opening or attempted break-in of the device;
The red LED keeps on blinking until the alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is turned on again;
therefore it is not enough to turn off the system to cut off the alarm.
• blinking green LED for signalling:
- alarm detected with system turned off;
- alarm detected with device not configured;
- alarm detected in the WalkTest phase;
During the WalkTest phase the device detects whether any contacts are open, signalling it to the control panel
and highlighting it with the blinking green LED.
The device permits selecting the activation delay so that the user can enter and/or leave a room without the
system immediately triggering an alarm.
The most common application of this function is to turn on the system from inside the house and, afterwards,
leave by opening the magnetic contact on the entrance door without the system generating any alarm.
If when turning the system on there is a magnetic contact accidentally left open (a window, for instance) in a zone
not excluded from the activation, the intrusion detection alarm system will not be turned on; the contact interface
LED will blink red and the control panel will show the zone to which this contact belongs. To be able to turn the
system on, you will need to close the contact or exclude the zone to which it belongs from activation (see par. 9.2).
If there is an open contact and the system is switched on with an activation delay set on the contacts interface
(for instance to allow the user to get out of the house), at the end of the set time the system will activate and
signal an alarm immediately.
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) On delay: (default 0) the delay time can be set between 0 s and 62 s in steps of 1 s (0 s = instantaneous).
2) Zone: the assignment zone (between 1 and 30) is set from the control panel by selecting the number of the
chosen zone in the corresponding menu. The contacts interface can be configured in zone 31 if there is a need
to enable the panic alarm function.
3) roller shutters threshold: (default 31) the degree of sensitivity of the check on blinds, dedicated solely for the
electromechanical rope contact, can be adjusted by setting a value between 0 and 31 with or without checking
the attempted short circuiting of the wire (sc).
The usefulness of this parameter consists in preventing the activation of false alarms.
The alarm signal is generated only if the number of pulses generated by the contact exceeds the set
threshold.
By setting the value to 0, the alarm signal is instantaneous.
4) Contact threshold: (default 3) this value permits selecting the speed of action in the case of opening the
magnetic contact. By setting the value to 0 or 1 (at 1 it is not as fast), the device checks the resistance of the
line of magnetic contacts and of that of the antitamper continuity wire. In this case it is necessary to use a
twisted pair for each line. If you do not have a cable with twisted pairs or are not interested in checking the line
resistance, the threshold must be set to 2 or 3, depending on the required speed of action (at 3 it is not as fast).

not used.
Warning: When connecting magnetic contacts, roller shutter contacts and detectors for technical alarms, the
maximum length of the cable must not exceed 10 m and it is not possible to connect more than 2 contacts per
roller shutter on the same interface. If using terminals M or S leave terminal T disconnected.
5) Access signalling: (default NO) used for advanced functions (see par. 11.2).

7) Sensitivity of the antitamper device: (default 0 that is disabled) the degree of sensitivity of the antitamper device
can be set with a value between 0 (disabled) and 15 (from 1 to 15, the greater the setting, the greater the degree
of sensitivity obtained). If using terminal S leave terminal T disconnected and jumper M - A - C.
3.9.2 2-input contact interface
The device is used to connect the burglar alarm system with the normally closed magnetic alarm contacts,
electro-mechanical rope contacts to protect blinds and roller shutters and anti-impact seismic sensors to protect
windows. In addition, if a generic detector (gas detector, etc.) is connected to one of its inputs, it can be used
to generate a technical alarm. The 2-input interface enables independent connection of two contacts or a series
of contacts.
It is supplied in the following versions:
20490.1: 2 Eikon modules
19490.1: 2 Eikon modules
16940.1: 2 Idea modules
14490.1: 2 Plana modules
136
System components
Each input represents a functional unit.
The 2 functional units are configurable on 2 separate groups in both SAI and automation, so it is possible to
differentiate turning on the two contacts by using the partitions appropriately and they can moreover also be
delayed differently.
The 2 functional units can control 2 separate relays configured on the groups associated with the interface.

• red LED for signals in the phase of configuration and alarm:
- on steady during the phase of configuration and reset;
- blinking due to detecting contact opening or attempted break-in of the device; The red LED keeps on blinking
until the alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is turned on again; therefore it is not enough to turn off
the system to cut off the alarm.
- blinking when the device is powered.
• green LED blinking for signalling:
- alarm detected with system turned off;
- alarm detected with device not configured;
- alarm detected in the WalkTest phase;
Both inputs are configured in the following way:
- press the configuration button and the orange LED will blink;
- let 3 s elapse, configuration will commence on input 1 and the red LED will light up;
- whereas if you press the configuration button before 3 s have elapsed, the LED will blink faster and configuration
of input 2 will commence.
During the WalkTest phase the device detects whether any contacts are open, signalling it to the control panel
and highlighting it with the blinking green LED.
The device permits selecting the activation delay; in this way, the user can enter and/or leave a room without the
system immediately triggering an alarm. The most common application of this function is to turn on the system
from inside the house and, afterwards, leave by opening the magnetic contact on the entrance door without the
system generating any alarm.
Example: Delay set to 30 s.
On activating the system there is a time of 30 s to get out and 30 s to get back in (for a total of 60 s); if you go
back in after 60 s have passed and therefore with the system on, you have 30 s to turn off the system before it
signals an alarm.
If when turning the system on there is a magnetic contact accidentally left open (a window, for instance) in a
zone not excluded from the activation, the intrusion detection alarm system will not be turned on; the contact
interface LED will blink red and the control panel will show the zone to which this contact belongs. To be able
to turn the system on, you will need to close the contact or exclude the zone to which it belongs from activation
(see par. 9.2).
If there is an open contact and the system is switched on with an activation delay set on the contacts interface
(for instance to allow the user to get out of the house), at the end of the set time the system will activate and
signal an alarm immediately.

Operation of messages to actuators
If the “magnetic contacts” function is enabled on the control panel, when the contact opens the interface will send
an ON message to an actuator, if any, present in the same zone and make it switch over.
If the “technical alarm” function is enabled on the control panel, when the contact associated with the technical
alarm opens the interface will send an ON message to an actuator, if any, present in the same zone and make it
switch over. When the contact is closed again, the OFF message is sent.
The actuation messages are only sent if the Open if ON or Open if on standby settings are active.
IMPORTANT: If the settings of inputs 1 and 2 are different, the actuation messages will be sent only from the
input configured as a technical input. If an input is deselected as a Roller Shutter input it is not possible to send
actuation messages.
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) On delay: (default 0) the delay time can be set between 0 s and 62 s in steps of 1 s (0 s = immediate).
2) Zone: the assignment zone (between 1 and 30) is set from the control panel by selecting the number of the
chosen zone in the corresponding menu. The contacts interface can be configured in zone 31 if there is a need
to enable the panic alarm function.
3) Roller shutters threshold: (default 31) the degree of sensitivity of the check on blinds, dedicated solely for the
electromechanical rope contact, can be adjusted by setting a value between 0 and 31 with or without checking
the attempted short circuiting of the wire (sc).
The usefulness of this parameter consists in preventing the activation of false alarms.
The alarm signal is generated only if the number of pulses generated by the contact exceeds the set threshold.
By setting the value to 0, the alarm signal is instantaneous.
4) Contact threshold: (default 3) this value permits selecting the speed of action in the case of opening the
magnetic contact. By setting the value to 0 or 1 (at 1 it is not as fast), the device checks the resistance of the line
of magnetic contacts and of that of the antitamper continuity wire. In this case it is necessary to use a twisted pair
for each line. If you do not have a cable with twisted pairs or are not interested in checking the line resistance, the
threshold must be set to 2 or 3, depending on the required speed of action (at 3 it is not as fast).
5) Input 1 setting: The input can be configured for electromechanical rope contacts (S) or for magnetic contacts
(M) or for technical alarms (T) or turned off. The default selection is: for magnetic contacts (M).
6) Input 2 setting: The input can be configured for electromechanical rope contacts (S) or magnetic contacts (M)
or technical alarms (T) or turned off. The default selection is: for magnetic contacts (M).
7) Open if ON: (default OFF). This value permits deciding whether the device must activate an actuator located in
the same zone as the device when an input sees an open contact and the system is on.
8) Open if on standby: (default OFF). This value permits deciding whether the device must activate an actuator
located in the same zone as the device when an input sees an open contact and the system is off.
Setting the types of contact to assign to the inputs (programmable on the control panel only for the automation
program)
1) Type of contact for the input 1:
When the actuator activation message (ON or OFF) is sent, it is possible to select:
•
normal output
(on contact open off contact closed)
•
reversed output (off contact open on contact closed)
•
toggle on up
(on /off alternately each time the contact is closed)
•
toggle on down (on /off alternately each time the contact is opened)
139
System components
2) Type of contact for the input 2
When the actuator activation message (ON or OFF) is sent, it is possible to select:
•
normal output
(on contact open off contact closed)
•
reversed output
(off contact open on contact closed)
•
toggle on up
(on /off alternately each time the contact is closed)
•
toggle on down
(on /off alternately each time the contact is opened)
Note. The 2-input contact interface can be configured either in a SAI program (intrusion detection alarm system)
or in an Automation program.
If the device must be used in both programs (SAI and Automation) it is necessary for the interface to be configured
first in SAI and then in Automation; the automation group must then be added to the router via the Router
Management menu.
It must be underlined that if an input is selected in SAI as a roller shutter input, it is not possible to send ON or
OFF messages to an actuator that may be in the Automation program.
Interface 20490, 16940, 14490 and interface 20488, 16938, 14488.
The device can completely substitute the contact interfaces 20488 - 16938 - 14488.
If the interface 20490, 16940, 14490 is not recognized by the control panel because this is not contemplated (for
instance, control panels with firmware releases not updated, etc) the control panel will recognize the device as
an interface 20488, 16938, 14488.
Automatically, during the phase of programming, the device will change the configuration of the inputs
“transforming” the 2-input interface 20490,16940, 14490 into an interface 20488, 16938, 14488; also the name
(and therefore the use) of each one of the seven terminals of the 2-input interface will be likewise “transformed”
into those of the conventional contact interface as illustrated in the figure below.

Indicators
• Switches over the output according to the command received;
• red LED:
- on steady during the phase of configuration and reset;
- blinking due to attempted tampering with the device or opening the continuity wire (external tamper).
The LED keeps on blinking until the alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is turned on again;
therefore it is not enough to turn off the system to cut off the alarm.
• green LED:
- on steady it indicates that the relay contact is in position ON and therefore the contact is closed NO.
Note: It is possible to use the actuator for functions of access control, for example controlling electric locks,
assigning this actuator the same zone in the device from which it must be controlled (in this case the
connector). For greater detail, please see the section on advanced functions (par. 11.3).
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Zone: the assignment zone (between 1 and 30) is set from the control panel by selecting the number of the
chosen zone in the specific menu.
2) Sensitivity of the antitamper device: (default 0 that is disabled) the degree of sensitivity of the antitamper device
can be set with a value between 0 (disabled) and 15 (from 1 to 15, the greater the setting, the greater the
degree of sensitivity obtained).
145
System components
3) Activation of the tamper (external anti-tamper): (default OFF) it is possible to turn on and off the control on the
external contact (antitamper) directly from the control panel (External tamper ON/OFF).
4) On delay: (default 0) it is possible to select the lag time between receiving the ON command and actual relay
activation. On the control panel you select a time from 0 s to 250 s in steps of 1 s.
5) Off delay: (default 10) it is possible to select the lag time with which the relay is deactivated from the time of
receiving the related ON command (in case of one-position stable operation). On the control panel you select
a time from 0 s to 250 s in steps of 1 s. The set OFF delay must be greater than the activation time.
6) Operation of the relay: it is possible to select the behaviour of the actuator relay by setting it as one-position
stable or two-position stable; the default operation is one-position stable.
In an alarm condition, to activate a phone dialler, this parameter must be in the condition of “one-position stable”.
It is necessary to configure the relay as two-position stable if you want to connect it to the system status
message selected on the control panel in the message management menu.
If a one-position stable actuator is configured in the same zone as a radio frequency device for sending technical
alarms, when there is an alarm signal the relay swill switch over for a time equal to the time set in the actuator
parameters.

3.11 Mini detector for surface-mounting
The passive infrared presence detector is able to generate an alarm message when it detects motion of heatemitting bodies in its area of coverage. If it is configured in a By-me system where there is both the automation
and the intrusion detection alarm system, it is able to control a relay, with the intrusion detection alarm system off,
that can be used to switch on a light, activate a bell, etc. (see chap. 9 in the Automation section).
It is supplied in the following version:
01828: with installation on a wall and on corner walls.
Technical characteristics
- Rated supply voltage (Vn): BUS 20-32 V d.c.
- Protection class: IP30
- Operating temperature: -5 - +45 °C (inside)
- Installation: surface mounting
- Type of protection: against opening and removal with optical antitamper device built in
- Consumption: 15 mA
- Possibility of programming the sensor activation delay
- Possibility of programming the sensitivity of the sensor
- Possibility of programming the relevant zone via the control panel
- Configuration button
- Indicator LED
- Two terminals for the polarized connection to the bus (+ and –)
- Possibility of programming the duration of actuation
Indicators
• detects the motion of warm bodies in its area of coverage by means of the Fresnel lens;
• red LED:
- on steady during the phase of configuration and reset;
- blinking due to detecting intrusion or attempted break-in of the device;
The LED keeps on blinking until the alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is turned on again; therefore
it is not enough to turn off the system to cut off the alarm. This characteristic is useful to highlight the path
followed by any intruder.
• green LED blinking:
- detected the presence of a warm body with the system turned off;
- detected the presence of a warm body with the device not configured;
- detected the presence of a warm body in the WalkTest phase;
The area of detection, of the volumetric type, is obtained by using a Fresnel lens divided into 17 beams on 4
planes (Vimar patent).
148
System components
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Activation delay (default 0): the delay time can be set between 0 s and 62 s in steps of 1 s (0 s =
instantaneous);
2) Zone: the assignment zone (between 1 and 30) is set from the control panel by selecting the number of the
chosen zone in the specific menu;
3) PIR pulse threshold (default 3): when the detector detects a warm body in its area of coverage it generates a
sequence of pulses.
They are considered good only if they have a longer duration than the threshold set by the user (see point 4).
For the detector to generate an alarm the number of pulses set by the user (threshold setting) must be
exceeded; the greater the setting the greater the tolerance with which the device will signal an alarm condition.
The setting range is between 1 and 10.
4) PIR time threshold (default 0.4): permits selecting the minimum duration of the pulse beyond which an alarm
message is generated in line with the number of pulses selected in point 3.
The setting range is between 0,1 s and 8 s in steps of 0.1 s.
5) Brightness threshold (default 100%): the degree of brightness is read by a photoresistor and expressed as a
percentage with values ranging from 1 (light) to 0 (dark) in steps of 100%.
This parameter is optional and can be used in case of advanced functions (e.g. in an automation group).
6) Duration of actuation (default value 30 s): used, with the system OFF, to repeat the command message for the
associated actuator. In practice, after commanding the actuator, the detector checks whether there are any
additional movements for a period of time equal to the duration of actuation and, if this has occurred, at the end
of this time a new message will be sent to the actuator irrespective of the brightness setting.

Note: The device can be configured in an SAI application or in an Automation application.
If the detector is used both in an Automation application and in an SAI application, the device must always be
configured first in the intrusion detection alarm system and then in the automation system; having done this the
Automations group must be added to the Router via the Router Management menu.
Installation
For the dual technology presence detector to work properly you need to follow these installation rules:
- no not place any objects in front of the infrared sensor (plants, curtains, furniture, etc.);
- do not expose it to direct light from lamps or sunlight;
- do not subject it to the direct action of sources of heat;
- do not place it in the direction of sources of heat.
NO

NO
Note: For the installation details, see the instructions sheet provided with the detector 01828.
During the WalkTest phase the infrared detect detects a presence, signals the event to the control panel and
shows it to the user via a blinking green LED.
The device permits selecting the activation delay so that the user can enter and/or leave a room without the
system signalling an alarm.
The most common application of this function is to turn on the system from inside the house and, afterwards,
leave by passing in front of one or more sensors without the system generating an alarm.
Example: Delay set to 30 s.
On activating the system there is a time of 30 s to get out and 30 s to get back in (for a total of 60 s); if you go
back in after 60 s have passed and therefore with the system on, you have 30 s to turn off the system before it
signals an alarm.
Device reset
On the control panel, via the specific menu, select “Device Reset” and press the button on the device; the red LED
illuminates.
Hold down the device's button until the LED goes out (approximately 8 sec.); this operation:
- deletes the groups;
- sets the default parameters;
- changes the physical address of the device (in this phase the LED blinks green/red).

3.12 Dual technology surface-mounting detector
The dual technology sensor integrates a microwave sensor and an infrared sensor. It is able to signal people or
animals passing through its area of coverage. The dual technology enables making the sensor insensitive to the
most common causes of false alarms.
The sensor functions in "AND" mode; that is, when either sensor detects motion in the area of coverage it remains
on pre-alarm for 15 seconds awaiting confirmation from the other sensor. Once this condition occurs the device
sends the signal to the control panel.
It is supplied in the following version:
01829.1: with surface mounting

Indicators
• Detecting the motion of warm bodies in the area of coverage by means of an infrared sensor.
When the system is on, the device detects moving bodies with a microwave sensor too; if the microwave and
infrared sensors detect movement at the same time there is an alarm signal (AND function).
151
System components
• red LED:
- on steady during the phase of configuration and reset;
- blinking due to intrusion alarm or an attempt at tampering with the device; The LED keeps on blinking until the
alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is
turned on again. Therefore it is not enough to turn off the system to cut off the alarm.
- blinking when the device is powered.
• green LED blinking:
- detected the presence of a warm body with the intrusion detection system turned off;
- detected the presence of a warm body with the device not configured;
- detected the presence of a warm body in the WalkTest phase.
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Activation delay (default 0): the delay time can be set between 0 s and 62 s in steps of 1 s
(0 s = instantaneous);
2) Zone: the assignment zone (between 1 and 30) is set from the control panel by selecting the number of the
chosen zone in the specific menu;
3) PIR pulse threshold (default 3): when the detector detects a warm body in its area of coverage it generates a
sequence of pulses.
They are considered good only if they have a longer duration than the threshold set by the user (see point 4).
For the detector to generate an alarm the number of pulses set by the user (threshold setting) must be
exceeded; the greater the setting the greater the tolerance with which the device will signal an alarm condition.
The setting range is between 1 and 10.
4) PIR time threshold (default 0.4): permits selecting the minimum duration of the pulse beyond which an alarm
message is generated in line with the number of pulses selected in point 3.
The setting range is between 0.1 and 8 in steps of 0.1 s.
5) Sensitivity of the antitamper device (default 0 that is disabled): the degree of sensitivity of the antitamper device
can be set between 0 (off) and 15 (from 1 to 15, the greater the setting the greater the degree of sensitivity
obtained).
6) Brightness threshold (default 100%): the degree of brightness is read by a photoresistor and expressed as a
percentage with values ranging from 0% (light) to 100% (dark) in steps of 1%.
This parameter is optional and can be used in case of advanced functions (e.g. in an automation group); a
typical application is to use the detector to control a relay that switches on a light; in this case, to have the
control in a bright room too, it is necessary to set a low threshold value.
7) Duration of actuation (default 30): if within the set time, in the range between 10 and 250 s, the device
detects a greater number of pulses than the threshold set in point 3, with the system off, a message is sent to
the actuator.
Note: The device can be configured in an SAI application or in an Automation application.
If the detector is used both in an Automation application and in an SAI application, the device must always be
configured first in the intrusion detection alarm system and then in the automation system; having done this the
Automations group must be added to the Router via the specific menu Router Management.
During the WalkTest phase the infrared detect detects a presence, signals the event to the control panel and
shows it to the user via a blinking green LED.
The device permits selecting the activation delay so that the user can enter and/or leave a room without the
system signalling an alarm.

153
System components
Operation
• The device reads the code of the transponder key to make the first acquisition (add keys) and in normal
operation it turns the system on and off sending the code to the control panel.
• In the configuration phase it sends the code read to the control panel if the control panel has the “Register new
key” option active and if this code is already in the device
NOTE: The configuration phase is divided into two parts:
• in the first part the device is configured irrespective of its positioning (Configuration CA); to do this, keep to the
instructions given in the Access Control system manual.
• in the second part (Configuration SAI) the device is configured in the burglar alarm system and its operating
mode is decided (ref. Add keys - “Access Contr. Key” and “Special Access Contr. Key).
Important:
The “access control” and “Special access control” keys can be added to the intrusion detection alarm system
only if the keys that are associated with the transponder reader were previously configured in it according to the
procedures stated in the Access Control system manual.
Note: The MASTER key used to unlock the reader (see the manual of the Access Control system) does not work
in the intrusion detection alarm system; this must be kept for adding any more keys to the reader.
Indicators:
• red LED on steady:
- during Configuration SAI;
• red LED blinking:
- due to system in alarm or an attempt at tampering with the device. The LED keeps on blinking until the
alarm that generated it is deleted or the system is turned on again; therefore it is not enough to turn off the
system to cut off the alarm.
- when the key code has not been acknowledged. The blinking ends after a few seconds.
• green LED blinking:
- the key code has been acknowledged;
- the system is turned on in partitioned mode;
• green LED on steady:
- the system is turned on totally;
• red/green two-colour LED blinking:
- indicates that an alarm condition has occurred that is no longer in progress (alarm memory);
For a description of the behaviour of the LEDs during the phase of Configuration CA, refer to the Access
Control System manual.
154
System components
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Zone: the assignment zone from 1 to 30, set from the control panel by selecting the number of the chosen
zone in the specific menu;
2) Sensitivity of the antitamper device: (default 0 that is disabled). Value that adjusts the sensitivity of the optical
antitamper in the transponder reader. Adjustment range from 0 (disabled) to 15 (maximum sensitivity);
3) Buzzer (default ON). Value that permits setting an audible warning when, after the reader has recognised the
code of a key that has been brought near, the system is turned on or off.
4) Open if On (default OFF). Value that permits activating an actuator located in the zone of the transponder reader
when the key is brought near to the transponder reader and the system is off.
5) Open if on standby (default OFF). Value that permits activating an actuator located in the zone of the
transponder reader when the key is brought near to the transponder reader and the system is off.
IMPORTANT:
• When using the “Special Key” for switching on the intrusion detection alarm system, it is first of all necessary
to press the reader configuration button and then pass the key over it.
• Whereas, to switch off the system it is sufficient to pass the key over the reader.
• If using a “SAI Key” or an “Access Control Key CA”, for both switching on and switching off the system it is not
necessary to press the reader configuration button, but only pass the key over it.
• Any “SAI Keys” already configured with a connector (Eikon 20482, Idea 16932 and Plana 14482) will
automatically be associated with all the transponder readers that may have been added to the system at a later
time (it will therefore not be necessary to have to follow the “Register Acces Control Key CA” procedure).

Passive infrared intrusion detector, battery power supply (supplied).
01738
Magnetic contact for doors and windows, battery power supply (supplied).
01744
Water detector for protection against flooding, battery power supply (supplied).
01747
Siren for outdoor use, battery power supply (supplied)
00912
9 V 12 Ah alkaline battery for siren for outdoor use
N.B.: The detectors 01737 and 01738 are equipped with an input terminal on which an NC or a roller-shutter
contact can be connected; to enable it, use the dip switches on the device card (see the manual for the radio
interface 20493-16943-14493).
Operation
The device receives the transmissions of the radio wave signals emitted by the radiofrequency devices and by
the remote control.
• Regular operation: it receives the information from the radiofrequency devices (tamper alarm, burglar alarm,
technical alarm, low battery). It receives the codes from the remote controls and sends them to the control
panel; in addition it receives information from the control panel on the system status and sends it to the siren
and remote controls.
• Configuration: in the phase of adding radio frequency devices it saves the characteristics of the component
that has responded and communicates some information to the control panel. This procedure is described on
page 164.
• Supervision: this function checks the configured Radio Frequency devices work properly; If a device does not
signal its presence for a time of 4 h, the interface sends a “no device” message to the control panel. To obtain
this function the “Supervision” parameter must be active.
Note: If the intrusion detection alarm system is turned on and a contact has accidentally been left open (a window
for instance), the system will not turn on and the control panel will display the alarm message and the zone to
which the contact left open belongs. If you repeat the process for turning it on, the system will activate itself
as normal even with the contact open.
159
System components
Indicators:
• red LED on steady:
- during configuration and reset;
• red LED blinking:
- due to system in alarm or an attempt at tampering with the device. The LED keeps on blinking until the alarm
that generated it is deleted or the system is turned on again; therefore it is not enough to turn off the system
to cut off the alarm.
• green LED blinking:
- the system is turned on in partitioned mode;
• green LED on steady:
- the system is turned on not partitioned;
• red/green two-colour LED blinking:
- it blinks for a few seconds after the phase of resetting the device.
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Zone: the assignment zone from 1 to 30, set from the control panel by selecting the number of the chosen
zone in the specific menu; the interface can be configured in zone 31 when you need the “PANIC” button of
the remote control 01819 to activate the panic alarm.
2) Sensitivity of the antitamper device: (default 0 that is disabled). Value that adjusts the sensitivity of the optical
antitamper in the radio interface. Adjustment range from 0 (disabled) to 15 (maximum sensitivity);
3) Supervised (default OFF). Supervision of the Radio Frequency detectors on (ON) or off (OFF);
4) zone activation delay from 1 to 10: 0 s = instantaneous. It can be increased up to 60 s in steps of 1 s;
5) zone activation delay from 10 to 20: 0 s = instantaneous. It can be increased up to 60 s in steps of 1 s;
6) zone activation delay from 20 to 30: 0 s = instantaneous. It can be increased up to 60 s in steps of 1 s.
Note : If a radio frequency detector for alarms of a technical type (water detector) is configured in the same zone
as a relay actuator (one-position stable), this will switch over when the detector signals the alarm.

Operation
Pressing the 4 keys on the remote control provides 4 different functions
• OFF button 1: Turning the system off (according to the partitions associated with the remote control code - see
the "Partitions/Associate Part." menu. - RF remote controls”).
• ON 1 button 2: Turning the system on (according to the partitions associated with the remote control code - see
the "Partitions/Associate Part." menu. - RF remote controls”).
• PANIC button 3: used to manage the panic signal.
• ON 2 button 4: Switches the system on (according to the partitions associated with one of the users in the
control panel - see the "Partitions/Associate Part." menu. - RF remote controls/Users”).
• Control transmission and confirmation LED: signals transmission of the code and displays system on/off for
approximately one second after sending the code.
LED indicators:
• blinking orange: code transmission
• green: system off or interface in off zone
• red: system on or interface in active zone
The remote control has the function of a connector; in addition, for button 3 it is possible to select:
PANIC BUTTON function with audible warning: the radio interface must be configured in zone 31. In this way, on
pressing the PANIC button the siren is activated.
PANIC BUTTON function without audible warning but with message: the radio interface and an actuator must be
configured in the same zone from 1 to 30. The actuator must be connected to a channel of the dialler. In this way,
on pressing the PANIC button the message is sent.
MANAGEMENT FUNCTION: the radio interface and an actuator must be configured in the same zone from 1 to
30. In this way, on pressing the PANIC button the state of the actuator is switched over (one-position stable actuator).
To silence the sirens turn the system on and off with the remote control by pressing the ON (1 and 2) and OFF
buttons in sequence, or on the control panel with “Alarm Reset”
The various functions are mutually exclusive.
161
Powering up the system
4. Powering up the system
• Connect the power supply to the 230 V~ mains and check that the bus cables have the following connections
with Vimar cable 01840 (2x0.50 mm2, rated working voltage 300/500 V) or certified KNX:
- red cable (+)
- black cable (–)
N.B. The bus is polarized so it is recommended to check its polarization before connecting all the devices.
• Power up the system by connecting the electric mains;
• Connect the batteries of the sirens paying attention to the polarities;
Under these conditions the system is idle:
- there is no communication on the bus;
- the control panel is on stand-by.
• Check that on the connecting terminals of all the devices connected to the system there is the supply voltage
(min. 27 V d.c. - max 30 V).
N.B.: If there is no mains voltage, on the connecting terminals of all the devices connected to the system there
must be a voltage of 24 V d.c. (for at least 24 h), supplied by the buffer batteries.
Note:
• The maximum distance for connections between the power supply 01801 and the back-up unit 01804 or 01807
is equal to 1 m.
• The maximum distance for connections between the back-up unit 01804 or 01807 and the auxiliary battery holder
unit 01803 is equal to 1 m.

7.1. Partitions.
This menu is fundamental as it permits creating groups of zones in the system (partitions) that can be turned on/
off and allows adding/removing zones to/from these partitions.
In the phase of configuring the partitions, it is important to bear in mind that each zone can be added to one and
only one partition; on the contrary, the control panel will display the following error message:
“Unable to continue. Partitioning not complete“. In addition, error messages will be displayed if there are any
empty partitions (that is without any associated zones) or empty zones (that is without any devices) associated
with the partition.
The By-me intrusion detection alarm system, in both the phases of turning on and off, enables creating different
partitions of the system, differentiating them for each user; this is by using either SAI Keys or Special SAI Keys.
The SAI Keys function with each connector of the system (each one of which can have a different partition) while
the Special Keys only function on the connectors that, via the control panel, have been associated (it will then be
with the control panel, by associating the connectors, that you choose which partitions these will turn on/off).
Using the remote control 01819 it is possible to partition the system with the "ON 1" button or the "ON 2" button
(that will be associated with a user); for “ON1” simply set the partition for the code of the RF remote control.
The different partitions, lastly, can be associated with the PINs of the numerical keypad 20483-16993-14483; each
set code corresponds to a specific list of partitions that allows easily turning the system on/off totally or partially.
The operations to carry out are, in sequence:
1. Configure connectors, digital keypads, detectors and all the other burglar alarm devices.
2. Add the various SAI Keys, SPECIAL Keys, set the PIN codes of the keypad, etc.
3. Create the various partitions associating the respective zones.
4. Associate the various partitions with the connectors, SPECIAL Keys, PIN codes of the keypads, RF remote controls
to the control panel, etc.
n Partition management
Main menu
partitions
Others SAI Control Panel SAI Control Panel Setup Partitions Manage
The menu permits creating up to 9 partitions; in addition it is possible to name and delete the partitions and
associate the zones to these partitions. After selecting a partition, you turn on (via "Add Group") a zone from
among the ones not yet associated with any partition; having done this it is necessary to press the Save button
to save the new configuration.
Each zone that is removed from a partition becomes free and can therefore be associated with another
partition; remember that a zone can be assigned to only one of the partitions defined in the phase of
system configuration.
If a zone must be able to be managed, for example, by two users with a different keypad PIN, it is wise to
add this zone on its own to a partition and then associate this to both PINs. n Associating partitions

the zones belonging to the indicated partitions. If it is marked “Totally OFF” the special key can turn off the
entire system, while if this item is not selected the special key turns off only the zones belonging to the partitions marked with a P.
5) Associating partitions with the codes of the digital keypad 20483-16933-14483.
This menu permits associating partitions to the PIN codes of the digital keypads with the corresponding partitions to turn on or off:
Main menu Others SAI Control Panel SAI Control Panel Setup Partitions Ass. partitions
Keypad codes
It is now possible to select the partitions associated with the PIN of the selected keypad by adding the character P on the corresponding item. If it is marked “All Partitions” the PIN can turn the system on and off
completely and partially, while if some partitions are marked the PIN only turns on and off the zones belonging
to the indicated partitions. The digital keypad with which changes are made to the system status (on, off,
etc.) emits an audible warning that signals the operation has been performed. For the characteristics and
parameters of the digital keypad, see par. 3.4 on page 113 of this manual.
6) Associating partitions with RF remote controls
This menu allows associating the radio remote control with both the user and the partitions to turn on and off:
Main menu Others SAI Control Panel SAI Control Panel Setup Partitions Ass. partitions
RF Remote Controls
On selecting the desired RF remote control with the “Select” button, the control panel permits associating the
partitions with the “ON 1” button. After selecting the partitions press “Save”.
Turning these partitions on/off, and therefore the associated zones, can be differentiated also according to
the user profile associated with that remote control. After selecting the RF remote control from the list with
the and buttons, press the “User” button and set the desired profile; now, on pressing the “ON 2”
button of the remote control, the system will turn on according to the association of the set partitions for
that specific user.
N.B.: If there is more than one remote control, to know which one you want to partition you need to identify
it by following the instructions of paragraph 7.2 under the heading “SAI key identification”.
7.2. S.A.I. key management
This menu is used to add, remove and identify the transponder keys and the codes of the keypad
that are necessary for turning the system on/off, as well as monitoring them.
The SAI keys that turn on the zones associated with the connectors are copied onto all the connectors automatically;
these keys can therefore be used on all the connectors present. The SPECIAL SAI keys turn on only the partition
zones associated with the key and only via the connector through which the enabling operation was performed
for that key (therefore they can only be used on that connector).
There can also be “SAI Keys” and “Special SAI Keys” belonging to connectors of the Access Control system (transponder and/or smart card reader); before being configured in the intrusion detection
alarm system (as “Access Control Key” or as “Special Access Control Key”) they must be associated with the
respective device according to the procedures for the Access Control system.
170
S.A.I. Setup
The “Special Keys” can be configured on a number of connectors to each one of which a dedicated partition can be associated for each special key with which it is associated.
The PIN codes of the keypad 20483,16933 and 14483 are managed by the system as if they were SAI keys and
therefore, once configured, they are automatically copied onto all the other keypads in the system.

Using the system
9. Using the system
There follow the main operations to carry out for normal system use.
9.1 Turning On
The system is turned on directly from the control panel, transponder key set in contact with the surface of the
connector in the position shown by the arrow, or by entering the code on the keypad, or with the remote control
01818 or lastly with a smart card and reader.
N.B. If the control panel is in one of the submenus related to the S.A.I. Setup menu, the above operations for
turning on are not carried out.
The system is turned off:
- directly from the control panel with the “SYSTEM OFF” option, first keying in a password (if set beforehand);
- setting the transponder key in contact with the connector (which turns off all the zones and silences any
alarms).
-through trasponder reader;
-through smart card reader;
-through the radio interface (via remote control);
-through the phone dialler;
Turning off the system is signalled on the display of the control panel and the LEDs of the connectors will go
back out if there are no alarms in the system.
In this way all the non-partitioned zones associated with that specific connector are turned on (activated).
The control panel display and the LEDs of the related connectors will be signalled in this way:
- if the connector LEDs are green and on steady the system is completely switched on;
- if the connector LEDs are green and blinking the system is switched on in partitioned mode;
- if the key is not recognised the red LED of the connector blinks;
9.2 Temporary partitioning from control panel
From the “Zone ON/OFF” it is possible to cut off some zones irrespective of the connector, key or remote
control used to turn on the system. Removing the tick P next to the zone in any case partializes this zone.
Main menu Others SAI Control Panel Zone On/Off
After turning the required zones on/off, confirm by pressing Save.
9.3 Partitioning from connector
When the system is turned on with a connector, all the zones associated with it will be turned on while the other
zones will remain partitioned (off).
181
Using the system
9.4 Delayed detectors
All the detectors can be programmed as instantaneous or delayed (see previous chapter) so as to allow the
user to leave a protected room (when turning on the system) or enter it (turning the system off obviously within
the set delay time).
9.5 Alarm management
The possible alarms are:
- intrusion alarm;
- tamper alarm;
- technical alarm;
- panic alarm;
- no mains alarm;
- low battery alarm.
• Intrusion alarm
The intrusion alarms, generated only with the system turned on, cause a high power sound to be emitted by
the outdoor sirens and by the indoor siren in the back-up unit; the intrusion alarm counters are reset every time
the system is then turned on and on that occasion the memory LEDs are turned off.
• Tamper alarm
The alarm is generated with the system turned both on and off and it can be caused by:
- tampering with one or more devices for attempted extraction, cutting wires on contact interface, etc.;
- damaged device;
- cutting the bus.
• Technical alarm
It is generated with the system either on or off, provided that the corresponding input has been enabled. No
audible warning is generated; the control panel saves the alarm and, via the relay actuator, turns on the phone
dialler (where applicable) that calls the set numbers. For this purpose see chap. “Other applications”.
• Panic alarm
It is generated by a device (an ordinary NO or NC button, remote control, etc.) connected to a contact interface
or a radio frequency interface configured in zone 31. No messages are displayed on the control panel and
the alarm signal can be blocked by turning the intrusion detection alarm system on and off or directly on the
control panel by pressing the Stop alarms button. In addition, it is possible to obtain a silent alarm if the contact
interface is configured in another zone where there is also a relay actuator (to turn on the phone dialler for
instance).
• No mains alarm
It is genered in the event of a power failure with the transmission of a message that makes a relay switch over
(to turn on the phone dialler for instance).
• Low battery alarm
It is generated with the transmission of a message that makes a relay switch over if the batteries of the back-up
unit are running down due to extended mains power failure.

Other applications
The purpose of this chapter is to illustrate the applications related to the other functions that can be performed by
the intrusion detection alarm system.
The following pages, step by step, describe the configuration operations to be performed on the devices in order
to obtain each of the available applications. It is important to observe that when using the relay actuator it is
possible to control other devices (phone dialler, bells, etc.) using the appropriate outputs (the common terminal,
NO contact and NC contact are available).
The following applications will be illustrated:
1. Activation of a bell with the passive IR detector;
2. Activation of a bell with the contact interface;
3. Activation of an electric lock with the connector;
4. Signalling alarm with no audible warning (anti-robbery);
5. Closing the gas flow solenoid valve in the event of leakage (technical alarm);
6. Activation of audible alarm warnings (panic button).
N.B. Reading this chapter is only recommended after getting familiar with the use of the menus on the control
panel (chap. 6).
186
Other applications
11.1. Activation of a bell with the passive IR detector
The aim of this application consists of activating a signalling device, for example a bell, via an IR detector so as to
signal entry of a person into the room.
With the burglar alarm system turned off, the IR detector detects the entry of a person and, via the BUS,
communicates the operation of the bell to the relay acuator.
The following figure shows an example of this application:
Entrance bell
Burglar alarm
system
Detector
PIR
Actuator
with relay
Configuration
The aim is to activate the relay via the IR regulator.
It is therefore necessary to place the actuator and the detector in the same zone, doing the configuration according
to the procedures described in chapter 6.
For the IR detector to send the command signal to the relay it is fundamental for both devices to be assigned to
the same zone.
The “brightness threshold” parameter (which by default is set to 250) must be set to command the relay only when
the brightness of the room is less than the selected brightness.
187
Other applications
11.2 Activation of a bell with the contact interface
The aim of this application consists of activating a signalling device, for example a bell, via a contact interface so
as to signal the opening of a door into a room and therefore entry of a person.
With the burglar alarm system turned off, as soon as the door opens, the magnetic contact installed on the latter
opens and the entry of a person is detected. The contact intervace, via BUS, communicates the operation of the
bell to the relay acuator.
The following figure shows an example of this application:
Entrance bell
Magnetic

Burglar alarm
system
Contact

Configuration
For the contact interface to send the command signal to the relay it is fundamental for both devices to be assigned
to the same zone.
The parameters of the actuator and contact interface must be set as follows:
- Relay actuator: behaviour = one-position stable, OFF time = n seconds.
- Contact interface: access signalling = YES.
188
Other applications
11.3. Activation of an electric lock with the connector
The aim of this application consists of activating an electric lock by using the transponder key on one of the
connectors of the burglar alarm system. Only assigned persons, equipped with an enabled key, have access to
the room protected by turning off the intrusion detection system and, at the same time, opening the electric lock.
This type of application is extremely useful to create functions of access control.
The following figure shows an example of this application:
Burglar alarm
system
Relay
actuator
Connector
Configuration
The aim is to activate the relay via the connector. It is therefore necessary to place the actuator and the connector
in the same zone, doing the configuration according to the procedures described in chap. 6.
The parameters of the connector and relay actuator must be set as follows:
- Connector: Open if ON = YES, Open if on standby = NO.
- Relay actuator: behaviour = one-position stable, OFF time = n seconds.
189
Other applications
11.4. Signalling alarm with no audible warning (anti-robbery)
The aim of this application is to signal an alarm situation (anti-robbery) via the burglar alarm via bus system, without
this signal interfering with the state of the system and without this generating any sound alarm.
The alarm is generated by pressing a NC button that, via the contact interface, activates the relay actuator, which
in its turn activates the phone dialler to make the required call.
The NC button must be connected between the terminals C and M of the contact interface.
When the button is pressed, the LED on the contact interface blinks and the relay actuator is activated; the latter,
in its turn, activates the dialler that will transmit the message. To stop the transmission of the alarm or cancel the
signals it is necessary, via the control panel, to press the “Stop alarm button.
The following figure shows an example of this application:
Phone dialler

190
Other applications
Configuration
The aim is to activate the relay (and therefore the phone dialler) via the contact interface. It is therefore necessary to
place the actuator and the contact interface in the same zone, doing the configuration according to the procedures
described in chap. 6.
The parameters of the actuator and contact interface must be set as follows:
- Relay actuator: behaviour = one-position stable, OFF time = n seconds.
- Contact interface: access signalling = YES.
Note: Alarm signalling with no audible warning can also be obtained with a remote control 01818 associated with
an RF interface; if this is configured in the same zone as the relay actuator (zone from 1 to 30) that is connected,
for instance, to a phone dialler, pressing the “PANIC” button on the remote control will cause the relay contact
to close.
191
Other applications
11.5. Closing the gas flow solenoid valve in the event of leakage (technical alarm)
If there is a gas leak it is possible, using the burglar alarm system, to close the solenoid valve and make the
technical alarm call with the phone dialler.
The (gas) detector detects gas and the contact interface, which is connected to this detector, sends the message
to the control panel and moreover activates the relay actuator that closes the solenoid valve of the gas system.
The technical alarm generated in this way stays active until the end of the alarm condition (that is when gas is no
longer detected).
The gas detector output must be connected between the terminals C and T of the contact interface.

Configuration
The aim is to have the contact interface activate the relay and therefore the phone dialler and/or the solenoid valve.
It is therefore necessary to place the actuator and the contact interface in the same zone, doing the configuration
according to the procedures described in chap. 6.
The parameters of the actuators and contact interface must be set as follows:
- Relay actuator connected to solenoid valve: behaviour = two-position stable.
- Relay actuator connected to telephone dialler: behaviour = one-position stable.
- Contact interface: Techncial alarm signalling = YES.
At the end of the signalling, that is when the detector no longer signals any leakage, the contact interface will send
an OFF command to the actuator (the system is ready to detect a new alarm condition).
193
Other applications
11.6. Activation of audible alarm warnings (panic button)
The aim of this application consists in the possibility of voluntarily activating the sirens in order to generate a loud
audible warning as a deterrent for burglars. This function, called “panic button”, can also be activated with the
system switched off and under any condition of system partialization. When the NC button connected with the
contact interface on terminals C and M is pressed, the devices that generate the audible warnings are activated.
To silence the sirens it is necessary, from the control panel, to press the “Stop Alarm” button.
The following figure shows an example of this application:

20506 or Plana 14506
Pair of buttons for control with EnOcean module 20505
Actuator with EnOcean module with relay output, power supply 230 V~ 50 Hz
N.B.: The flat control with two rocker push buttons 20505 is the radio unit on which pair of button must be mounted (Eikon 20506
and Plana 14506); this combination permits obtaining radio-frequency “lighting points”.
Operation
The device receives the signals emitted by the radiofrequency rocker push buttons and transmits the commands to the radio actuators.
• Normal operation from radio-frequency to Bus: it receives information from the radio rocker push buttons (pressing and releasing
the button) and controls the actuators over the Bus.
• Normal operation from Bus to radio-frequency: it receives the group messages from the devices over the Bus (single push-buttons,
rocker switches, etc.) and controls the actuators by radio-frequency.
• Radio interface configuration: in the phase of configuration the control panel passes minimal information to the interface: enabling
LED, index of the interface.
• Replacing radio interface: in this phase the By-me control panel transfers the radio devices present in the interface being replaced
to the new interface.
• Configuring radio-frequency devices: in the phase of adding radio devices, the interface with the EnOcean module saves the characteristics of the radio rocker button that responded and sends them to the control panel. In addition, the interface saves all the
information related to the configured radio actuators.
Indicators
• red LED on steady:
- during the configuration phase;
• green LED blinking (only if the LED enabling parameter is not Off):
- the interface is receiving or transmitting a radio-frequency message.
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
• Enabling LED:
- Normal: the green LED is normally off and blinks when receiving or transmitting a radio-frequency message.
- Inverted: the green LED is normally on and blinks when receiving or transmitting a radio-frequency message.
- Off: the green LED never lights up.

Actuator with EnOcean module 1 relay (01796)
The actuator with the EnOcean module is able to receive both the radio signal transmitted by the Bus interface with the EnOcean
module following a command made with the button of a By-me device and the radio command of the radio-frequency rocker push
button to actuate, via relay output, the load to which it is connected.
If there is no mains power supply, the actuator keeps the previous configuration.
01796
Technical characteristics
•Power supply: 230V~, 50Hz.
•Reception frequency: 868 MHz
•Operating temperature: -5 - +45 °C (for indoor use)
•Configuration push-buttons:
- LRN (learning push-button). On pressing LRN the actuator enters the learning phase, signalling this condition with
intermittent switchover, every 2 s, of the relay output. When a new button is saved, the output remains active for a
few seconds and then starts switching again; on pressing LNR or after approximately 30 s of no activity, the actuator
exits the learning phase.
- CLR (memory delete push-button). Pressing the CLR push-button for a few seconds deletes all the saves made and

N.B.: The detectors 01737 and 01738 are equipped with an input terminal on which an NC or a roller-shutter contact can be connected; to enable it, use the dip switches on the device card.
Operation
The device receives the transmissions of the radio wave signals
emitted by the radiofrequency devices and by the remote control.
• Regular operation: receives the information from the radiofrequency devices (tamper alarm, burglar alarm, technical alarm, low
battery). It receives the codes from the remote controls and sends them to the control panel; in addition it receives information from
the control panel on the system status and sends it to the siren and remote controls.
• Configuration: in the phase of adding radio frequency devices it saves the characteristics of the component that has responded
and communicates some information to the control panel.
• Supervision: this function checks the configured Radio Frequency devices work properly; If a device does not signal its presence for
a time of 4 h, the interface sends a “no device” message to the control panel. To obtain this function the “Supervision” parameter
must be active.
Note: If the intrusion detection alarm system is turned on and a contact has accidentally been left open (a window for instance), the
system will not turn on and the control panel will display the alarm message and the zone to which the contact left open belongs.
If you repeat the process for turning it on, the system will activate itself as normal even with the contact open.

Manual
Indicators
• red LED on steady:
- during configuration and reset;
• red LED blinking:
- due to system in alarm or an attempt at tampering with the device. The LED keeps on blinking until the alarm that generated it is
deleted or the system is turned on again; therefore it is not enough to turn off the system to cut off the alarm.
• green LED blinking:
- the system is turned on in partitioned mode;
• green LED on steady:
- the system is turned on not partitioned;
• red/green two-colour LED blinking:
- it blinks for a few seconds after the phase of resetting the device.
Settings (programmable via the control panel)
1) Zone: the assignment zone from 1 to 30, set from the control panel by selecting the number of the chosen zone in the specific
menu; the interface can be configured in zone 31 when you need the “PANIC” button of the remote control 01819 to activate the
audible panic alarm.
2) Sensitivity of the antitamper device: (default 0 that is disabled). Value that adjusts the sensitivity of the optical antitamper in the radio
interface. Adjustment range from 0 (disabled) to 15 (maximum sensitivity);
3) Supervised (default OFF). Supervision of the Radio Frequency detectors on (ON) or off (OFF);
4) Activation delay zones from 1 to 10: 0 s = instantaneous. It can be increased up to 60 s in steps of 1 s;
5) Activation delay zones from 10 to 20: 0 s = instantaneous. It can be increased up to 60 s in steps of 1 s;
6) Activation delay zones from 20 to 30: 0 s = instantaneous. It can be increased up to 60 s in steps of 1 s.
Note: If a radio frequency detector for alarms of a technical type (water detector, for instance) is configured in the same zone as a relay
actuator (one-position stable), this will switch over when the detector signals the alarm.

Operation
• It detects motion of heat-emitting bodies in its areas of coverage.
• Opening the contact that may be connected will cause an alarm warning that can be made to differ from that of the IR sensor (to
distinguish between different break-ins) by using the detector’s dip-switches.
• The N/C terminal block is self-learning; it is then necessary for it to remain closed for at least 6 s when inserting the battery.
• The detector LED lights up when an alarm is detected.
• Approximately every 30 minutes, the detector sends a correctly operating signal to the control panel (via radio interface).
• Anti-sabotage protection: Opening the battery compartment causes the tamper alarm; before changing the battery it is necessary to set the control panel on Walktest. With the compartment open, the detector produces an alarm without shutting down
for 2 minutes thus making it possible to test the device.
• Walktest: During this phase an alarm is generated so as to check that the device works properly. In addition, the control panel
identifies the type of detector and provides an indication on the level of radio reception.
• Flat battery warning: besides the warning on the control panel, the detector LED blinks for each alarm.

Operation
• Audible alarm governed by the control panel lasting 3 min. for each alarm cycle.
• Alarm signalling delay equal to approx. 12 s with audible pre-alarm warnings (beeps).
• Audible warning to confirm the system is on (1 beep), off (2 beeps) and partitioned (3 beeps). The volume of this audible
warning is adjustable with the special trimmer.
• Extended audible warning when putting out of service for maintenance; set the control panel on Walktest before opening the siren.
• Successful configuration signal (6 beeps and flashes).
• Siren enclosure protection contacts closing signal (1 beep).
• Approximately every 30 minutes, the siren sends a correctly operating signal to the control panel (via radio interface).
• Anti-sabotage protection: Opening the siren enclosure causes the tamper alarm; before changing the battery pack
it is necessary to set the control panel on Walktest.
• Walktest: In this phase, the control panel identifies the type of detector and provides an indication on the level of radio reception.
• Flat battery warning with signal on control panel.
Siren configuration 01747
- Open the siren and secure it to the wall; configuration then takes place in two phases:
235
Manual
1st Phase
- Prepare the control panel for configuration (see the control panel manual) then connect the battery pack to the siren. The
control panel will display configuration of the siren device.
2nd Phase
- Close the siren; correct closure of the enclosure is confirmed by an audible warning (beep) emitted by the siren.
- The siren configuration is then completed by carrying out the procedure for turning the system on and off; the operation
is then confirmed with audible signals (6 beeps).
Warning: If there is no audible warning, the siren is probably outside the radio range.
N.B.: The siren emits only one type of audible signal for both the intrusion alarm and the tamper alarm.

Presentation of the system
1. General characteristics of the system
The By-me speaker system enables creating systems able to transmit up to 4 audio sources in different rooms at the
same time with high signal quality (CD quality).
Thanks to the various system devices, integration with all the existing By-me controls and the range of coordinated
speakers, it is possible to create mono or multi-channel systems completely integrated in the By-me system.
In the various rooms there is total freedom of choice and control and it is possible, thanks to the multi-channels, to
transmit different music in different rooms.
The possibility of free distribution of the transmitter and receiver nodes and of the commands keeps the wiring simple
allowing perfect integration with the controls and actuators of the home automation system.
The performance, numerous functions, installation flexibility and above all the quality of the sound enable using the
system both in the residential sector (from apartments to villas) and in the tertiary sector (health centres, shops, cafés,
restaurants, supermarkets).
The main characteristics can be summed up in the following points:
1.2-wire system (uses the By-me BUS cable art.01840.B) with in-out linear wiring that enables perfect integration with
the By-me automation devices (that can be connected to the “audio” branch through a special branch shunt for By-me
devices 01903 or through the special terminal on all the devices of the speaker system).
2.Possibility of using the By-me controls (buttons, touchscreen and also the ones connected to the automation line)
for system control (switching on/off, volume adjustment, source selection, song selection or radio station, etc.).
3.Distributed architecture (therefore with no central node that requires star wiring) that enables installing transmitters
and receivers at any point in the system.
4.4 simultaneous stereo channels, with CD audio quality.
5.Up to 30 independent audio zones.
6. Possibility of using the BUS as an FM antenna (in this case the auxiliary external antenna is not necessary).
7.Possibility of programming the maximum audio levels for each zone.
8.Possibility of making microphone calls.
9.Audio monitoring function.
10. Baby control function.
11. Integration with the scenarios and events programmes of the By-me system (for instance radio alarm function).

243
Topology and installation rules
3. Topologies and installation rules
The new type of transfer of musical information in digital form over the same BUS where the By-me data packets transit
requires some constraints for the wiring and in the construction of the system, while maintaining perfect integration
with the By-me home automation system.
To facilitate installation a coloured BUS cable art.01840.B (dark blue in colour) has been introduced to identify the part
of the system or branches of the bus dedicated to the speaker system easily and with no error.
3.1. Installation topologies
The speaker system lends itself to various constructions according to the needs and dimensions of the system.
Example 1: speaker system on the same logical branch (Area/Line), but with separate wiring.

Decoupler for By-me

In this case the separation is purely with the wiring and not the logic: the speaker system devices and the By-me
devices are configured on the same line.

In this case, the speaker system devices are configured in a different line to the other By-me devices. The second
power supply and the dedicated decoupler are optional and must only be included when necessary for reasons of
consumption.

By-me branch. Free wiring
Speaker system branch. By-me devices cannot be connected; In-out wiring (linear,

The shunt for the speaker system enables creating By-me branches that contain a
max of 10 automation devices. Max no. of shunts 01903=64
The speaker system shunt enables shunting speaker system branches.
Decoupler for By-me power supply/speaker system. It must be inserted between
the power supply and the audio line; none of the By-me devices between the
decoupler and the power supply are “seen” by the speaker system.
This explains how it is possible to make a completely integrated system with the By-me automation and speaker system
devices on the same branch.
245
System constraints
Notice: By-me devices are not connected directly to the branch of the speaker system (blue branch) but through
special shunts or through the devices of the speaker system (that have a special terminal).
3.2 Installation rules
The following installation rules are compulsory in the sections of By-me Bus dedicated to the speaker system:
1. Free wiring is not permitted in the sections dedicated to the speaker system, but only the in-out linear type. For
shunting it is necessary to use the special branch shunt for the speaker system art.01904 (max.10 By-me devices).
2. No more than 2 branch shunts can be wired per speaker system (art.01904) between a transmitter and a
receiver: this is because the branch shunt introduces strong signal attenuation.
3. The section of BUS dedicated to the speaker system is separated from the power supply (or from the line coupler
if used) by the special “By-me power supply/speaker system decoupler” art.01902.
4. In the sections dedicated to the speaker system (dark blue sections) it is possible to connect only the devices of
the speaker system: the By-me devices (where applicable) must be connected either through the specific branch
shunt for By-me devices (art.01903, max. 10 By-me devices) or through the dedicated terminal in each speaker
system device (branch with max. 3 By-me devices).
5. Finally, the devices at the ends of the speaker system branches (at the start and at the end of the blue lines)
must be terminated via the special jumper present in each device. This applies to any device, whether it be a By-me
power supply/speaker system decoupler or a normal transmitter or receiver.
4. System constraints
In order to ensure correct system operation and complete functionality, it is necessary to respect constraints to be
taken account of in the installation.

4.2 Absorption of the devices and sizing of the system
Since the system is completely integrable with By-me automation and uses the power supplies 01801, the limits of
absorption to calculate for each line in the system apply generally: max. 2 By-me power supplies 01801 and therefore
max. 2x800mA.
The speaker system devices have different absorptions than the conventional By-me devices and this must therefore
be taken into consideration when sizing the system.
The following table, useful for correctly sizing the system, gives the absorptions of the devices.

WARNING: The absorptions given in the table are to be considered only for the audio devices and do not take account
of any other automation devices that may be connected to the By-me branch shunting terminal.
The high absorption of the receiver 1+1W 20581-14581 (if powered directly by the BUS and not through the auxiliary
power supply 20580-14580) has limits also as regards its distance from the system power supply, especially if it is
present in a number of points on the same branch.

300 m

150 m
With 3 receivers 20581-14581 powered by Bus
100 m
With 4 receivers 20581-14581 powered by Bus
75 m
These data refer to the case in which there is a number of receivers 1+1W (art.14581, 20581) on the same branch and
on the same side in relation to the By-me power supply 01801 (see figure below).

System constraints
Whereas, in the case in which the devices are always on opposite branches in relation to the By-me power supply, the
distance must be calculated in relation to the power supply counting the devices on the branch.

Therefore depending on the number of transmitters and receivers (and on their type) it is possible to calculate the
absorption of the system and therefore the number of power supplies necessary, that in any case can be at most 2.
If you want to install numerous receivers 1+1W (art. 20581-14581) it is advisable to use the auxiliary power supplies
20580-14580.

In each shunt created by the decoupler I can
connect max 10 By-me devices
250
Functionality
From what has been illustrated so far in relation to the topology, installation criteria and system constraints, we can
summarise that:
• installation is linear (in-out) with the possibility of shunting via the special branch shunts for the speaker system
01904.
• By-me devices must not be connected directly to the branch of the speaker system but only through the shunt 01903
or through the devices of the speaker system (special terminal on each device in the speaker system).
• A decoupling device is necessary to between the power supply and the audio transmission line: Bus line/speaker
system decoupler 01902
• Between the power supply and the By-me power supply/speaker system decoupler the line maintains the By-me
characteristics (free wiring, max 128 By-me devices).
• The shunts for the By-me branch 01903 enable shunting a By-me line with max 10 devices and free wiring from the
audio transmission line. There can be at most 64 shunts.
• The maximum distance between the transmitter and receiver is:
- 300 m if there are no shunts 01904 in between
- 200 m if there is one shunt 01904 in between
- 100 m if there are 2 shunts 01904 in between.
• The maximum number of speaker system devices is 64 (including the shunts, decouplers and miscellaneous accessories).
• From each speaker system device it is possible to shunt a mini By-me line with max. 3 devices.
• 2 power supplies can be used according to the absorption of the system; the second power supply can be connected
at any point on the audio transmission line (not necessarily at the end as in the previous diagram), but the connection
must always be made through the Bus line/speaker system decoupler 01902.
5. Functionality
As mentioned above, the main function of the speaker system is to transfer an audio signal from one point of the system
to another; thanks to the system devices, moreover, it is possible to create a wide range of functions so as to satisfy
every type of requirement:
• The transmitter module can be connected to any audio source (MP3, DVD players, Hi-Fi systems) through the RCA
connectors.
• The FM tuner transmitter module transmits the radio signal.
• The call microphone module enables making half-duplex voice communications.
• The receiver modules enable transmitting the audio source with a different power output according to the context
and the environment;
• The IR stereo control module enables controlling the Hi-Fi system with the By-me controls..
251
Functionality
5.1 Control buttons
The buttons perform commands that affect the whole zone with which they are associated. For instance it is possible to configure the By-me rocker switches to carry out actions such as switching the speaker
system on and off, adjusting the volume, switching the audio source (channel) and skipping to the next/previous track.
Rocker switch for switching on and off (brief pressure) and adjusting the volume (long pressure)
Rocker switch for switching to the audio source (top button) and skipping to the next track (bottom
button)
Important: The button for passing on to the next track takes on a different meaning depending on the transmitter
being controlled: in the case of the FM tuner it will pass on to the next station memory, while in the case of an iPod or
a HiFi system it will pass on to the next song.
5.2 Zone priority
If more than one zone is connected to the same channel, it is possible to associate a priority level to each one of these
zones; parallel to this, the only actions performed will be by the command modules (buttons, touchscreen, station,
etc.) associated with the zone that, at that moment, has the highest priority.
5.3 Microphone call
Besides playback it is possible to make voice calls by using the special microphone call module.
The call occupies one of the available channels and is transmitted by the receivers involved in the call; if the channel
is already used, all of the receivers tuned onto that channel will transmit the call according to the zone to which they
belong.
It is not possible to make two calls at the same time.
The following types of call are possible:
• General call that involves all the audio zones present in the system.
• Selective call that involves one or more audio zones chosen by the user in the phase of configuration
• Baby Control call that involves one or more audio zones chosen by the user in the phase of configuration and controlled by the local button.
•Audio Monitoring call that involves one or more audio zones chosen by the user in the phase of configuration and
controlled by the local button.
252
Functionality
5.4 Baby control function
The microphone module enables activating the selective call when the volume perceived by the microphone exceeds a
set threshold. If installed in a child’s room, the system puts the parents’ room into audio contact (Baby Control) according to the loudness of the noise.
The call is automatically deactivated if it remains below the threshold for a certain timeframe or if it is locally silenced by
pressing the microphone module button.
5.5 Audio monitoring function
Remote activation of the microphone module is possible and as a result also selective calls.
To do this it is necessary to configure a By-me push-button within the same group in which the microphone module is
configured or to configure a specific button on the touchscreen.
5.6 Alarm clock function
This function, activating one of the scenarios created by the user, enables turning on an audio zone for a specific time
period (configurable)
5.7 Timed shutdown function (Sleep)
On activating this function an audio zone is switched off after a specific (configurable) time interval. On receiving an OFF
message the receiver switches off even if it is in the timed switch-off period.
5.8 Silencing function
At the time of a certain event, the volume of a zone is automatically limited to a value of low loudness (configurable).
This function is used during a video door entry call.
5.9 Voice communications function
The system does not permit implementing intercommunicating communications but, by using the microphone module
and the receivers, it is possible to make one-way voice communication between two zones.
5.10 Scenarios
The speaker system devices can be integrated in the By-me Automation scenarios enriching the application opportunities offered by the system.
253
System components
6. System components
The By-me automation system enables controlling a speaker system using the control panel for configuring the devices
and for setting the operating parameters.
6.1 Control panel.
The control panel governs the operation of the entire system. It displays all the control information and is used for
preliminary programming, configuration and, more generally, manage the system in its various states of operation.
Control panel main screen.
To access the screen that displays the speaker system control menus it is sufficient to select Audio in the main menu
of the control panel.
The control panel will now display the icons relating to the options most frequently used by the user:
• Zone (on or off): turns the selected audio zone on/off.
• Audio source: selects the source of the audio signal to transmit in the audio zone
• Details: displays the control menu of the associated transmitter module.
• Next: switches onto the next track depending on the type of transmitter.

Operation
The FM radio receiver with RDS 01900 is used as a digital audio signal transmitter within the speaker system. It therefore receives the FM radio signal of the station tuned to, digitalizes it and sends it to the various receiver devices of the
system that requested it.
The main functions of the device are:
• Enabling or disabling the transmission of the audio content related to the FM radio (ON / OFF)
• Selecting a specific radio station
• Tuning onto the previous or next frequency in steps of 5 kHz
• Automatic frequency search with SNR above a given settable threshold
• Saving up to 8 different radio stations
• Possibility of calling up a specific memory/station (also from a scenario)
• Scanning the memories in succession in both increasing and decreasing directions
• Scenario management, calling up a specific radio station on activating the scenario
• Compatibility with the call mechanism: the device frees the audio transmission channel if the call takes place on the
same channel it uses (the "call" is a service provided by other "transmitter" devices of the speaker system).
• Sending information related to the tuned frequency
• Sending information related to the strength of the radio signal received (RSSI)
• Sending information related to the On / Off status
257
System components
Settings which can be configured directly from the device
• To set the type of antenna, that is to say external on connector F or internal on the bus, you need to use the jumper
situated next to the antenna connector as shown in the figure, that is:
1.Antenna on connector F: Connect together pins 3 with 5 and 4 with 6
2.Antenna on bus: Connect together pins 3 with 1 and 4 with 2
To set the FM radio input volume manually, proceed as follows:
- Activate the device (status LED on) by switching on a listening zone.

The LED blinks slowly; when the minimum value is reached, or in any case on releasing the button, the LED will return
to its normal operating status.
- Whenever the configuration button is pressed, the volume adjustment is inverted.
It is possible to run through the whole sensitivity adjustment scale, from the minimum to the maximum value and vice
versa in approximately 90 sec.
As in normal operation, also while making the adjustment, the orange LED will light up to indicate that the input volume
is approaching the maximum threshold. The optimum adjustment is reached when the orange LED is seen to light up
with a certain frequency. A LED that is always green indicates too low an input volume; a LED that is always orange
indicates too high an input volume.
Settings that can be configured via the control panel
• LED control: Normal/Off; default value Normal.
If the device is active the green LED lights up to indicate information on the volume of the radio, otherwise it is off. If
this parameter is set with the value 0, the green LED always remains off.
• Mono/Stereo: default value Stereo.

6.6 Docking station for iPod and iPhone devices, supplied with power supply - 2 modules.
(The article is composed of 2 appliances of 2 modules each, can be installed also separately)
The docking station is a transmitter device that enables connecting audio sources such as iPod/iPhone (or other mp3
players, CD players, etc.) to the speaker system; the docking station acquires, digitalizes and sends over the By-me
bus the signal of one of the analogue audio sources connected to it.
The device not only sends an audio signal to the receiver devices, but also remotely controls the iPod/iPhone (play/
pause, skip+/- song, database navigation, playback property settings), by sending the appropriate commands over
the bus.
The By-me bus is galvanically decoupled from the audio inputs (connector for iPod/iPhone or 3.5mm stereo jack).
It is supplied in the following versions:
20585: 2 Eikon modules
14585: 2 Plana modules
Technical characteristics
- Rated supply voltage: BUS 29 V
- Consumption: 35 mA
- Galvanic decoupling of the audio inputs in relation to the By-me bus.
- Protection class: IP30
- Possibility of manual control of the input sensitivity.
- Operating temperature: -5 - +45 °C (for indoor use)
- Installation: flush or surface mounting (with surface mounting box 09975…)
- 30-pin connector for Apple iPod/iPhone devices.
- Auxiliary 3.5 mm stereo jack for external audio sources (iPod/iPhone audio automatically excluded when the jack is in).
- Push-button for configuration and manual setting of the input sensitivity.
- Two-colour LED for configuration, manual setting of the input sensitivity and indication of the ON/OFF status of operation
Indicators
- red LED: on steady during the configuration phase;
• red LED flashing for about 60 s: indicates either no or incorrect voltage on the input terminal (5V -1A) for charging
the iPod/iPhone;
- green LED on steady: the device is lit;
- green LED blinking fast: control phase to raise the device input sensitivity
- green LED blinking slow: control phase to lower the device input sensitivity
- orange LED (fixed or blinking) : input signal approaching the highest threshold
When the device is active the LED, if enabled via the control panel, is a steady green light whereas it becomes orange
if the input audio signal approaches the value beyond which distortion is produced.
The optimal setting for the input signal is obtained when the LED is mainly lit green and rarely becomes orange.
Note: An input signal that is too high can distort the audio signal.
Operation
The docking station enables connecting an iPod/iPhone to the speaker system and controlling its main functions of
navigation and playback; in addition, the device charges the batteries of the iPod/iPhone.
The remote controls are always available (both from the control panel and from the controls of the speaker system)
and are the following:
• Play/Pause: starts/stops playback of the selected song.
• Skip Next/Previous: plays the next or previous song in the playlist.
263
System components
If the device remote control mode is also enabled, via the control panel it is possible to navigate within the database
of the connected iPod/iPhone and if necessary select the songs to play.
The additional controls of the remote control mode are the following:
• Select the navigation category (choose from Playlists, Artists)
• Next/Previous Playlist: displaying the next or previous Playlist
• Next/Previous Artist: displaying the next or previous Artist

2.Shuffle Songs
3.Shuffle Albums
• Select the song playback mode (Repeat):
4.Repeat OFF
5.Repeat 1 Song
6.Repeat all Songs
Important: The changes to the Shuffle and Repeat settings that are made while the iPod/iPhone is connected to the
docking station have effect only as long as the device remains connected and therefore do not change those previously
set. These settings will be restored as soon as the Apple device is disconnected from the docking station.
IMPORTANT: The 30-pin connector can be used only for connecting and charging iPod/iPhone devices. The list of
compatible Apple products is given on the label on the outside of the packing of the docking station 20585-14585.
The 3.5mm auxiliary jack input enables connecting different sound sources to the iPod/iPhone (for example, MP3 players, CD players etc.); inserting such a jack automatically cuts off the audio coming from the iPod/iPhone.
Important: It is not possible to control external players connected via the auxiliary jack and therefore not even receive
information about them.

Configuration
• Functional Units: 2 (right-hand rocker switch and microphone transmitter).
The functional unit related to the button, when not associated with the transmitter on which it resides, can belong to
at most 4 groups; the microphone transmitter functional unit can belong to one group only.
• Selection of the functional block in the configuration phase:
a. Press the central button;
b. Within 3 s, press the right-hand rocker switch to select the “right-hand rocker switch” functional unit or the lower
left-hand button to select the “microphone transmitter” functional unit; the red LED will light up.
c. With the red LED on, the control unit will configure the functional block; at the end of this operation the LED will
go out.
Operation
In the standard configuration of the front buttons, the following functions can be used:
• “Push To Talk” general call.
Instantaneous call on pressing the top right-hand front button and directed to all the system's zones; they will transmit
the voice signal picked up by the device's microphone as long as the button is kept pressed.
The call ends when the button is released.
By using the control panel or EasyTool Professional LT, it will be possible to set the behaviour of every zone following
a General call (for example the behaviour of the zone if switched off, the call playback volume, etc.).
• “Push To Talk” selective call.
Instantaneous call on pressing the bottom right-hand front button and directed to a subset of system zones; by using
the control panel or EasyTool Professional LT, it is possible to set the zones receiving the selective call by accessing
the device parameters (on the control panel the parameter is "Call Zone").
Only the audio zones corresponding to the selected ones, indicated in the selective call start message, will switch onto
the call channel and will transmit the user message as long as the button is kept pressed.
The call ends when the button is released.
By using the control panel or EasyTool Professional LT, it will be possible to set the behaviour of every zone following
a Selective call (for example the behaviour of the zone if switched off, the call playback volume, etc.).
266
System components
• “Baby Control” service.
To turn this function on/off simply press and then release the bottom front left-hand button that will be followed by
the LED signal.
Once the function has been activated, if the volume of the voice signal picked up by the microphone exceeds the set
threshold, a selective call is sent to a set of system zones; the threshold value can be set with the control panel ("Baby
Control Threshold" parameter) or with Easy Tool Professional LT.
The call remains active until a few seconds after the audio has returned under the threshold value to then reactivate
automatically when later on the threshold gets exceeded.
By using the control panel ("Baby Control Zones" parameter) or Easy Tool Professional LT, it is possible to set the zones
intended for the Baby Control service
The typical application of this function is monitoring children during their rest.
• Audio Monitoring.
This function enables remote activation of the call microphone with a By-me automation button provided that both
devices are configured in the same group.
It is then possible to monitor the audio of a specific room; this audio monitoring function is accomplished with the
By-me button that activates a selective call, initiated by the microphone module, for a set of system zones .
By using the control panel ("Audio Monitoring Zones" parameter) or Easy Tool Professional LT, it is possible to set the
zones for Audio Monitoring.
IMPORTANT:
• As an alternative to the standard configuration, that is forgoing "Push To Talk Calls" and maintaining the "Baby
Control" and "Audio Monitoring" function, the two right-hand buttons of the microphone 20586-14586 can be used
as By-Me automation commands (lights, roller shutters, audio).
To do this, simply configure the right-hand rocker switch of the microphone in a lights or audio group.
• If there are a number of microphones 20586-14586 in an installation, only one active Call is permissible (general or
selective) in the system irrespective of audio channel availability.
• During call playback, the central LED of the rocker switches of the microphones 20586-14586 signal there is a call
by blinking (obviously this happens if the rocker switch is configured for the call functions).

System components
Problem
Cause
The audio system is not controlled.
A command does not produce
the desired function.
Solution
Check that, on sending the By-me command, the green LED blinks.
Check the IR cable; it must be positioned about 1 cm from the receiver. If
necessary, before positioning the transmitter with the adhesive, test the send
sequence varying the position.
Check you have recorded the button
for the desired command with the corresponding By-me command.
While having been correctly
coded, it might not be sufficient to send the command
by pressing the associated IR
button just once.
Map the repetition of the same Button
on the same Command in consecutive
positions.
For example, the Play command could
be coded as Action 1 = Button 4, Action
2 = Button 4, Action 3 = None, Action
4 = None (this is presuming you have
saved the Play button of the remote
control on Button 4). This action causes
repeated pressing of the play button
associated with the Play command.
6.9 Decoupler for Bus line / speaker system for By-me power supply, integrated line terminator,
installation on DIN rail (60715 TH35), occupies 2 modules of 17.5 mm.
The line decoupler 01902 is the device that divides the By-me system into:
- automation part (free wiring, BUS cable art. 01840);
- speaker system part (in-out linear wiring, BUS cable art. 01840.B).
The speaker system is therefore delimited by this device that depending on the case can be directly connected at the
output to the power supply 01801 or to the line coupler 01845 or directly to the Bus of the automation part.
Technical characteristics
- Rated supply voltage: BUS 29 V
- Operating temperature: -5 - +45 °C (for indoor use)
- Installation: on DIN rail (60715 TH35), size 2 modules
6.10 Tap-off for By-me command devices, flush mounting (retrofit).
The shunt 01903 is used for shunting from the speaker system line (in-out linear wiring, Bus cable art.01840.B) to
make an automation branch (free wiring, Bus cable art.01840) to which can be connected up to 10 By-me devices.
6.11 Branch tap-off for speaker system devices, flush mounting (retrofit)
The shunt 01904 is used for shunting two new audio branches from a speaker system line thus making it possible to
create a star. This solution is useful in all those cases where the linear wiring is difficult or not feasible.
273
Group/zone management
7. Group/zone definition
To configure the system it is necessary, first of all, to create the groups/zones for the speaker system; the procedure to
follow is similar to the one for creating home automation system groups (Automations, Load Control, HVAC control, etc.).
See also the Automation section on page 22.
7.1 Managing audio groups
7.1.1 Creating a group
When creating groups it is necessary to follow some rules concerning the logical subdivision of the parts comprising
the audio system.
The maximum number of groups relating to the transmitter modules is equal to 4 except for the microphone call
module whose maximum number is 8.
First create the groups where there are transmitters adding, for each group, a single transmitter (for example Audio
source 1, etc.); it is advised to choose names containing the name of the room.
Menu Setup Configuration Group Management Audio Groups
7.1.2 Removing a group

n Priority
An audio channel can be transmitted from one or more zones simultaneously by tuning onto a specific transmitter module.
The control buttons for the various zones can perform actions involving the transmitter module (change radio
station, play/stop a song); therefore the command generated by one zone could also affect the sound in another.
This parameter determines the right to execute these commands, that will be performed if one zone has a
priority greater than or equal to another.
3= maximum priority
0= minimum priority
n Audio source
One zone transmits the audio source selected by the user in the specific menu.
This parameter enables selecting which audio sources must be considered as active for this zone.
Scroll through the list of channels using the and buttons and select the desired ones by pressing
Select.
At the end of the operation press Save.
n Maximum volume
This parameter sets the maximum value of the volume used by the receivers in this zone as a percentage.
0= minimum value
100= maximum value
Note: For uniformity it is advised to create audio zones with receivers that all have the same sound power.
n Maximum switch-on volume
This parameter sets the maximum value of the volume used by the receivers in this zone at the time of
switching on as a percentage.
0= minimum value
100= maximum value
Note: For uniformity it is advised to create audio zones with receivers that all have the same sound power.
n Call volume

n Timed switch-off function
This parameter sets the time in minutes after which the zone is switched off; the time is counted by the
receivers from the moment the dedicated command is received.
0= minimum value
300= maximum value
7.3 Alarm clock function
It is possible to create the alarm clock function by taking advantage of the capacity offered by the By-me control panel.
It is basically a matter of activating one of the audio zones at a certain time, with a state of operation established by
the user; it is possible to associate these two characteristics respectively with an "event" and with a "scenario".
For example if you want to use an audio zone for waking up in the morning.
The first operation to carry out is to create a scenario that includes the audio groups related to the desired zone including
the group of the transmitter:
Scenarios Setup Scenario management 01 New scenario Select
To create a more complete setting, the scenario can also include the Automation groups.
(for more information see the section of the manual on Scenarios).
The second operation to carry out is to create an event
Events Setup 01 New Programme Select
After setting the name, enable the timed function of the event setting the Time parameter with the Periodical Clock
mode; it is possible to configure up to two Start and Stop events for each day of the week.
Afterwards, set the relevant parameter for the outputs with the Scenario type and select the audio scenario previously
created (for more information see the section of the manual on Events).
7.4 Viewing the audio zones
After creating the groups and therefore the audio zones, the main menu shows the zones created, that can be scrolled
through by pressing the Zone and Zone buttons.
276
Group/zone management
For each zone the display shows the number and the description, the description of the group of the transmitter module
associated with the channel (audio source), the description of the transmitter module and, where applicable, some
supplementary information (in this case the frequency for the FM tuner).
Using the Audio Source button it is possible to pass on to play the next audio source; with the Zone OFF button
(dynamic according to the status) you can switch off the zone; with the Next button you move on to the next track
according to the type of transmitter (for the FM Tuner it is the station); with the Setup button you go to the parameter
setting menu; with the Details button you go to the management menu for the associated transmitter module.
7.4.1 FM tuner control
The above figure shows the control page for the FM tuner transmitter module.
In the top zone there is the frequency being used, the related signal strength (RSSI) and the Stereo symbol that
indicates the relative playback mode. Immediately underneath, only if enabled, the RDS text is displayed.
The Station abbreviation indicates one of the three selectable setting modes as active, Station, Scan and Freq; the
Up and Down buttons increase and decrease according to the selected mode.
In Station mode the frequency being used corresponds to the value of one of the station memories, in this case 8.
n Saving the radio stations
Pressing the Station button activates the related mode; with the Up and Down buttons you move on to the
next station.
If a different mode is instead active (Scan or Freq) the Memo button also appears; press it to save the fre
quency being used in one of the available station memories.

Operation: the three zones can work independently to play the audio channels.
The call modules n.01 and n.02 are situated respectively in the same environment as the speakers of the audio zone
02 and audio zone 03.
The selective call zone setting parameter must first be set on the call modules; in this case zone 02 will be set on module n.01
and zone 03 will be set on module n.02.
At the time of the call the voice message replaces the sound source being played at that moment.
On pressing the selective call button of the Audio 02 Zone module, this will be transmitted only in the Audio 03 Zone; likewise
on pressing the selective call button of the Audio 03 Zone module ,this will be transmitted only in the Audio 02 Zone (selective
call zone setting parameter).
This way, when necessary, it is possible to communicate in a unidirectional manner between two different rooms.
This is half-duplex communication since the channel assigned to the call is univocal and therefore shared by the two configured
modules; clearly, as long as the first call module is active it will not be possible to activate the second one, and vice versa.

Presentation of the system
1. General characteristics of the system
The Light Control range, comprising universal dimmers and lamps, reconciles the need for comfort and a reduction in
consumption, creating customized and "energy-frugal" environments, while ensuring full compatibility and total installation flexibility. The new range of universal dimmers allows you to manage every type of source, not just high energy
efficiency sources, but also traditional incandescent sources. Control that is therefore also applicable to existing plants
and provides the opportunity of fitting simply and effectively into any architecture.
Included in the By-me home automation system, the universal dimmers complete the light management range.
Using the touch screens will allow you to create and control the range of programmed lighting scenarios to make each
room unique while paying attention to energy savings, by switching the lights on and off and adjusting their brightness. The new (patented) RGB functions, available via dedicated devices, enable making elegant, sophisticated colour
changes and light effects, suitable for all needs, from residential to small businesses.
With the automation system you can then configure and afterwards call up scenarios involving various functions in the
home automation system such as, for example, combinations of lights and colours matched with the audio functions to
create customized environments featuring efficient and complete comfort.
All Vimar's solutions are part of a single universal technology that ensures "hassle-free" fittings and the ability to replace
the old dimmers in existing systems, to ensure the utmost installation flexibility.
The universal dimmers are compatible with all light sources: incandescent bulbs, LEDs and dimmable compact fluorescent bulbs, halogen lights and LED strips. Dimming technology that is therefore ideal for any type of lighting system.
Total flexibility: this is the criterion with which the technology was chosen for all the new solutions for light management
and control. In the case of both new plants and renovations, for fitting or replacement, it is possible at any time to choose
more efficient and flexible sources, thanks to the devices that are technologically capable of dimming every kind of lamp.

Configuration on the controller
3. Configuration on the controller
The main task to perform in order to configure the dimmers of the Light Control system on the controller is to create
functional groups (sets of functional units that need to work together) to which they are assigned.
The procedure to be carried out for each new group is as follows:
Setup Configuration Groups
Automation groups Add
Create the selected group:
• Index of new group (00-480) that identifies the number of the group in the list of all the configured ones; touch
Next to confirm.
• New group name selecting, from among the names offered by a pre-set list, both the name of the group and the
zone of application (necessary to distinguish between rooms and functions with the same name).
Lastly, proceed to save the name of the group by touching Save.
If the operation has been carried out correctly the control unit will show Operation completed successfully
By selecting the desired group it is possible to view the information related to the group such as the address and
number of devices, the devices that may already be linked and to delete the group (Remove Group menu).
3.1 Functional unit selection and configuration.
For each device, how to select a functional unit is explained in the instructions sheet that accompanies the
product.
To configure the various functional units within a group, carry out the following:
1. Setup Configuration Groups Automation Groups
2. Select the name of the group to which you want to add the functional unit of the dimmer to configure.
3. Select the group by scrolling through the list Add; the procedure is started on the controller.
4. Select the type of dimmer (SLAVE dimmer or Other):
• SLAVE dimmer Next (Phase Cutting) LE or TE Next (Flash start) Yes or No End
• Other Next WHITE or RGB
Next
5. Press the configuration button and, where necessary, the rocker button of the dimmer to be included in the group.
If RGB and a rocker button has been selected in point 4, the controller will prompt you to set the function to be associated with the button too:

Dimmer parameters
Select the desired function by scrolling through the list Set; the procedure is started on the controller.
6. The device indicates that configuration is in progress by means of a red LED, which goes off when configuration
is complete.
7. The controller indicates the functional unit that has just been configured.
8. Proceed with the configuration of other functional units by repeating points 3, 4, 5 and 6 or Back to exit.
All the procedures relating to the management of the groups and functional units of the WHITE and RGB dimmers
are similar to those of all the other By-me devices.
3.2 Setting/changing the parameters of the dimmers.
Device parameters can be set and/or modified in order to customize operation to adapt the system to the various
installation requirements.
