No storage of firmware on SPCX410 Fast Programmer IMPORTANT This firmware cannot be stored on SPCX410 Fast Programmer with 1 MB

memory due to file size. Download only via Web-Browser or SPC Pro.

No direct upgrade possible for firmware versions 2.0.x or older GENERAL The direct upgrade from firmware version 2.0.x (or older) to V3.x is not

possible. In this case it’s necessary to upgrade to V2.1.x first.

Note: The firmware can be found on product CD in the same folder as the V3.x firmware release.

Note: When upgrading older panels with new firmware not all new SPC features are supported (see release note for V3.1.0)

SPC Pro (PC Programming Software) requirements GENERAL This firmware is supported with SPCS310 SPC Pro release 3.2.0 or higher.

New Region option added for Spain NEW The Spanish Region can now be selected in order to comply with Spanish

standard requirements, in particular the alarm confirmation. ES

New Fault Input types to handle Fault Conditions NEW There are three new trouble types for detectors and signalling devices,

namely:

Detector Fault

Holdup Fault

Warning Fault

“Detector Fault” is a rename of the existing “Fault” input type. “Holdup Fault” and “Warning Fault” (an abbreviation for Warning Device Fault) are new input types.These new types will be available to all types of installations and all grades.

All

New confirmation mode EN50131-9 added NEW The following new attributes have been added to system setting options:

New confirmation mode “EN50131-9” (in addition to GARDA and DD243) to enable alarm confirmation according to EN50131-9.

New option “Confirmation Zones” in order to define the number of zone activations for confirmed alarm when confirmation mode “EN50131-9” is selected.

All


Default operation of confirmation mode “EN50131-9”:

In order to be considered a confirmed alarm there must be three activations (resp. as configured with “Confirmation Zones”), these activations can be either an open or a tamper condition. Therefore a single zone may supply two activations to the confirmation. The following activations will cause a confirmed alarm (examples). - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 2 tamper - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 tamper - ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 tamper + ZONE 3 alarm - ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 tamper + ZONE 3 tamper - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 tamper, The following activations will NOT cause a confirmed alarm (examples). - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm

The alarm must be confirmed within 30 minutes in order to be considered a confirmed alarm. If an alarm is not confirmed within this 30 minute window, the zone will either be restored if it is closed or inhibited if it is open.

The activation of the following events (in addition to alarm and tamper) will also start a 30 minute timer and during this window any further alarm activations will be considered a confirmed alarm:

Modem fault

System tamper (e.g Bell tamper, Antenna tamper, Jamming, Cabinet tamper, Aux tamper, Aux 2 tamper, Xbus Tamper, Xbus communications)

In the case that the entry route zone has been inhibited a special entry procedure is enabled in order to prevent false alarms. The first alarm zone that is activated in the entry route is inhibited and this will start the entry timer.

Configuration:

Confirmation Mode “EN50131-9” can be selected in all Regions and all Grades.

If EN50131-9 is selected the “Confirmation Zones” can be changed from 2 to 10 (default = 3).

Exception for Spanish Region

For EN50131 grade 2: Three unique zones must be activated however the activation can be an alarm or tamper condition. The following activations will cause a confirmed alarm (examples). - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 tamper - ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 tamper + ZONE 3 alarm - ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 tamper + ZONE 3 tamper - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 tamper,


The following activations will NOT cause a confirmed alarm (examples). - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 2 tamper - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm

For EN50131 grade 3: There must be three activations from 2 detectors and these activations can be of any type. Therefore a single zone may contribute two open conditions to the confirmation however a second zone must supply another alarm condition in order to be considered confirmed. The following activations will cause a confirmed alarm (examples). - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 2 tamper - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 alarm - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 tamper - ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 tamper + ZONE 3 alarm - ZONE 1 tamper + ZONE 2 tamper + ZONE 3 tamper - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 3 tamper, - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 2 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm The following activations will NOT cause a confirmed alarm (examples). - ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm + ZONE 1 alarm

New Menu Option “Failed to Set” added NEW In system status, a new menu, called Fail to Set, will appear when an area

that keypad and user has access to, has failed to set. The menu will list all areas that have failed to set. When the area is selected, the reason will be displayed.

All

Viewing of Inhibited, Isolated Zones or Zones in Soak Test NEW Additional functionality has been added to the keypads for bypassing zones

so that when zones are bypassed, a user can press the up or down arrow to view the zones that have been bypassed. This functionality will also be available for soak test, inhibits and isolates.

A new keypad soak menu option has also been added to the system status menu for both user and engineer. This menu will allow a user to view any zones on soak, but will not allow the user to un-soak or isolate the zones.

All

Multiple Input Activations are Logged 8 Times in a Set Period CHANGE The limit for multiple activations on the same input during the same SET

period has been increased from one to eight. This means that if an input activates multiple times during the same SET period, the maximum number of times that it will be recorded in the LOG and reported to a central station will be eight.

Note: There has been no change to the fire input so this will still only be logged and reported once.

All


Various alterations for EN50131 compliance CHANGE There has been a review of alert operation in order to comply with

EN50131-3:2009. This will affect prevention of setting and warning device operation prevent.

All

Antimask in Unset will now Cause Trouble by default CHANGE The event “ZONE masked” in the unset state will produce a trouble event by

default to comply with the EN50131 standard.

New default settings are:

Ireland: Antimask in Unset Disabled Antimask in Set Alarm

All other countries: Antimask in Unset Trouble Antimask in Set Alarm

All

ZONE Masking Latched CHANGE The “ZONE Masked” event is now latched. This means that if a “ZONE

Masked” event occurs, it will remain active until restored by a level 2 user.

The operation of the ZONE Masked output has changed so that the output will remain active until restored.

ZONE Masking will be logged by default. The number of log entries will not exceed 8 between arming periods.

For an EN50131 Grade 3 system a ZONE masked event will prevent arming so a user must force set or clear the alert in order to set the system

Change to Zone Attributes for Holdup and Tamper CHANGE Change to zone attributes so that tamper and hold up zones can now be

inhibited. All

Change to Operation of Line Fault Zone Type CHANGE Change to operation of line fault zone type so now follows the fault type:

SIA reports Modem Fault + Zone number

CID reports Telco 1 Fault + Zone number

Outputs turns on fault output

Activates the fault led on keypad

Raises as info on keypad not alarm.

All

Selectable User Rights for Seismic Test CHANGE Before this version there was no user rights to allow a user to start a

Seismic test. A user right was implemented as follows:

User right is available for Standard User and Manager

For Manager the option is set by default, for standard user the option is not set by default

Only affects a MANUAL test (from keypad). Users without this attribute will still cause a seismic test to initiate when setting an area if that is how the panel is configured.

All


Change to minimum timer for Strobe/Bells for Belgium CHANGE When Region “Belgium” is selected the following default values have been

changed in accordance to Belgium TO-15 standard:

Default Minimum Maximum

Internal Bells

Grade= TO-14

0 min =infinite (old: 15 min)


999 min (old: 15 min)

Unrestricted 0 min =infinite (old: 15min)

0 min =infinite (no change)

999 min (no change)

External Bell Strobe

Grade= TO-14




Unrestricted 0 min = infinite (old: 15 min)


999 min (no change)

External Bells

Grade= TO-14

3 min (old: 15 min)

0 min = infinite (old: 1 min)


Unrestricted 3 min (old: 15 min)


999 min (no change)

BE

Zone Alerts Display Changed on Keypad CHANGE When there was a zone alert on the system which was subsequently

cleared, the user could see the fault LED flashing on the Keypad. However, the menu View Alerts would only show the zone description and so the user had no way of seeing what the problem was.

The user can now use a “Toggle” key (the ‘*’ key) to view the alarm condition in the View Alerts menu.

For Example, if a tamper occurred on “Hall ZONE”, then on entering the View Alerts menu, the user will see “Hall ZONE”. Upon pressing the ‘*’ key, the keypad will display “Zone 3 <T>”.

In General, the Zone <Alert Type> is one of the following:

Alarm = A

Tamper = T

Trouble = TR

Masked = M

Post alarm = PAX

All

Random Test Call Times CHANGE Change to the time that automated test calls and test SMS were being sent.

SMS tests will be transmitted between 9:00am and 6:00pm. ARC test calls will be transmitted between 1:00am and 5:00am.

Previously the automated test calls were always done at 2:00am which could lead to a resending of test calls when receiver was busy when many panels transmit test calls at the same time.

All


Added Access Events Reported over EDP or to SPC Pro CHANGE The following access events are now reported over EDP or to SPC Pro:

Card Format Invalid

Card is Void

Unknown Card

Incorrect Site Code

Clock and data reversed

All

EDP zone status expanded CHANGE A new element has been added to the zone status “LOGIC_INPUT”. This is

to address the issue of normally open zones reporting over EDP causing issues for external systems.

All

Fast Format Low Battery Option CHANGE Low Battery option has been added to ARC filter configuration for the Fast

Format page. All

Change to CID code for hold up zone CHANGE There has been a change to the CID code for hold up zone, the zone will

now transmit CID code “376” instead of “380. All

Web Page Language not latched CORRECTION No matter what language you select on the panel, the browser is always

English unless manually changed. Now the system language will be used by default.

All

Panel Doesn’t Send the Panel Unset Flag over EDP CORRECTION If the panel is unset after an alarm activation the panel would inform SPC

Com XT (or any EDP receiver) that it was part set and not unset.

The panel now correctly informs SPC Com XT (or any other EDP receiver) that the panel is unset.

All

X-Bus node reporting AC Power Failure over EDP CORRECTION X-Bus devices didn’t report node ID over EDP when AC power failed. This is

now corrected. All

Fail to set not reported for CID CORRECTION CID (contact ID) change that “Late to Set” and “Early to Set” will now use

CID codes 452 and 451. “Fail to set” will now be reported as 454. All

Modem Fault not reported over SIA or EDP CORRECTION The modem fault was not transmitted over SIA. The transmitted codes are:

Event: “YS” + modem number

Restore: “YK” + modem number

All

No correct Toggling of test Channels of Redcare Modem CORRECTION When testing an external Redcare modem the channels being tested were

not toggled correctly. This is now corrected. UK


SMS Stops working after 5 Minutes of SMS messages CORRECTION If the panel was send SMS messages for more than 5 minutes, SMS will no

longer work until the panel is power cycled. All

No manual Test Call to ARC when selected from Keypad CORRECTION Selecting test call in the keypad ARC menu would not make a test call. This

is now corrected. All

SPC Safe Reporting Timer not Working CORRECTION Automated Reporting after configuration change from the panel to SPC Safe

(Reporting Timer) was not working. All

Time Locked Areas Not Unsetting CORRECTION A bug has been fixed where if a Financial area was "TIME LOCKED" by

calendar and had "UNSET DELAY" enabled, the area would not unset after the calendar unset timer started, the area remained Fullset.

All

Line fault zone type causing bells when full set CORRECTION The line fault zone type has changed so that when Fullset it will no longer

activate bells and will now only activate the buzzer on the keypads when unset.

All

Unset with Card Reader not possible if Part Set CORRECTION It was not possible to unset an area from a card reader (connected to 2-door

expander) if an area was part set. This is now corrected. All

Users reset changes Engineer PIN CORRECTION If users had 6 or more digits in their PIN’s and used the “reset all users”

utility, the Engineer PIN defaulted to 000585. The Engineer PIN is now correctly reset to default 001111.

All

Using pace did not update user language CORRECTION When using Pace the user language was set to the system language and

not to the user language. This has been corrected All

New EDP receiver setting option “Live Streaming” to select privacy options for live streaming (Disabled / Only after Alarm event / Always).

New EDP receiver setting option “Verification” to enable transmission of verification data to receiver.

IMPORTANT: Limitations when using IP over GPRS The performance and feature set is limited when IP over GPRS is used as backup channel for verification. To activate GPRS channel the Ethernet connection must be down or disabled and the GPRS connection to EDP receiver has to be established and the GPRS IP address must be known to the EDP receiver (e.g. SPC Com XT).

The pre / post event audio files and pictures can be retrieved via GPRS. The limited bandwidth of GPRS transmission must be taken into consideration (it may take up to several minutes to transmit pre event files).

Live audio / Video over GPRS is not supported due to limited GPRS bandwidth.

Seismic Detector Test (automatic / manual) NEW


New options have been added to support testing of seismic detectors.

Automatic seismic detector testing features:

New Zone type "Seismic" to connect Seismic detectors.

New System Timer "Seismic Sensor Test Duration" (3-120 sec) to define max. waiting time for sensor after activation of test vibrator.

New System Option "Seismic Test on Manual Set" to enable seismic sensor test before setting an area with seismic detectors.

If area is set automatically (by calendar, key switch or input) or remotely (e.g. via EDP by SPC Com) the automatic test before setting will be skipped (only random automatic testing will be performed.

If automatic seismic test fails a ‘Trouble’ is reported: SIA: UT/UR (untyped trouble), CID: 150 (non burglary)

Manual seismic detector testing features:

A manual seismic test can only be triggered by the Engineer and User by the Keypad. A manual test is selected by Area and will test all seismic sensors in that area at the same time.

All seismic sensors that fail are reported in the keypad.

If a manual seismic test fails, no events are reported (only local message on keypad).

IMPORTANT: Not all SPC panel types support the financial features. Please refer to the according datasheet of the specific panel type if financial features can be supported.

All

Temporary unset of areas NEW A new Area attribute "Unset duration" has been added to limit time (0-120

minutes) an area can be unset (e.g. an ATM).

All

Reporting of Early/Late to Set/Unset of areas NEW New attributes and timers for "Early to set”, “Early to Unset”, “Late to set”

and “Late to unset” have been added to the area options. This enables a report to be sent to CMS/ARC if the panel is manually Fullset/Unset before/after a scheduled Set/Unset and before/after the number of minutes (0-120 minutes) entered in the Timer field.

All

Enhanced area auto-set options NEW Additional options have been added respectively re-arranged in area

settings for enhanced auto setting options. These options can be combined All


with the financial functions.

Area attribute “Auto Set Warning Time” to define warning time 0 – 30 minutes before auto set. Note: The panel sets either at the scheduled time or at the time defined by the “Delay Unset” parameter. The first warning is displayed at the configured time before the scheduled time.

New Area attribute “Auto Set Delay” to enable a user with enabled user right “Delay Auto Set” to delay Auto Setting for this area.

New Area attribute “Auto Set Cancel” to enable a user with given user right “Auto Set Delay” to cancel Auto Setting for this area.

New Area attribute “Key Switch” to enable a user to delay auto setting via key switch expander (SPCE110) by the time defined in “Delay Interval”.

New Area timer “Delay Interval” to define the time [1-300 minutes] the auto setting can be delayed at once.

New Area attribute “Delay Counter” to define the number of times [1-99, 0=unlimited] the auto setting can be delayed by the “Delay Interval”.

New System Option “Output Configuration” to configure behavior for “Auto Set” output (SPC Pro: To be found under Advanced options in Advanced Output Options):

New Output Configuration option "On" to permanently activate Auto Set output during warning time.

New Output Configuration option "Keypad" to follow keypad beep pattern.

New Output Configuration option "Progressive" to increase warning indication frequency during warning time before setting: - 20 Minutes before set: Buzzer will be activated every 30 Seconds. - 10 Minutes before set: Buzzer will be activated every 15 Seconds. - 3 Minutes before set. Buzzer will be activated every 5 Seconds If option is disabled the buzzer will be activate every minute (except last minute it’s every 10 seconds).

New Output Configuration option "Pulse Time" (n x 100ms) to define the time the Auto Set output is active when pulsed.

“All Okay” entry procedure NEW New options have been added to support “All OK” entry procedure. This is

to enable the first employee in the morning to check the premises for any suspicious indications and inform the next employees about the result with visual indication.

New Area option “All OK required” to enable “All OK” entry procedure.

New Area timer "All Okay Verification Time (1-999 sec) to define the maximum time window until the "All Okay" button has to be pressed.

New Zone type "All Okay" to be activated from first user (e.g. hidden

All


push button) before “All OK Verification Time” expires.

New Area attribute "All Okay event" to define the alarm type if "All Okay" entry procedure was not successfully terminated.

New Output types "Entry Status" and "Warning Status" to indicate status (e.g. via LEDs) to other users after first user has entered the premises.

IMPORTANT: This feature shall only be used for areas which are ALWAYS manually unset (unset by calendar or remotely will also require ALL OK button pressed).

Additional linking options for areas NEW Additional options have been added to the area settings to prevent setting /

unsetting of linked areas:

Prevent Fullset: Prevent this area from Fullset if any linked area is not Fullset

Prevent Fullset All: Prevent linked areas from Fullset if this area is not Fullset.

Prevent Unset: Prevent this area from Unset if any linked area is Fullset

Prevent Unset All Prevent linked areas from Unset if this area is Fullset.

All

Dual PIN for Set/Unset NEW New Area attribute “Dual PIN” has been added. If this option is enabled, two

PIN’s are required to Set or Unset the area with the keypad. Both PIN’s must belong to users who have the required user right for the operation (Setting or Unsetting). If the second PIN is not entered within 30 seconds, or it is wrong, then the area cannot be Set or Unset.

All

Exit Route through Multiple Areas NEW New Keypad attribute “Delay Fullset” has been added. If enabled, the exit

timers are used across all areas the keypad is assigned to respectively the user has the user rights for.

Previously (or if attribute is disabled) only the entry/exit timer of the particular area is running in which the keypad is located.

All

Door Interlock to prevent other doors from opening NEW New Door attribute “Interlock” has been added. This prevents remaining

doors from opening if one of the doors in the same Door Group is already open (e.g. people separation entries in banks).

All

Reader locking after PIN / Card Tamper CHANGE When presenting of an invalid card or three invalid PIN’s a PIN tamper on a

reader will be generated and causes that reader to be locked out for 2 minutes. This is only if PIN or card are invalid and not if they don’t have access.

All

Set / Unset with Prefix for Card Readers with PIN pad NEW


A new Door attribute “Setting Prefix” has been added to set/unset an area with a card reader using a prefix ‘*’ resp. ‘A’ or ‘#’ resp. ’B’. If enabled the area will be set (if reader is enabled and user rights are given) when keys ‘*’/‘A’ or ‘#’/’B’ are pressed before showing the card. This will work on readers with PIN pads which send a 10 for ‘*’/’A’ and 11 for ‘#’/B (e.g.Siemens PP500). Previously the set/unset of an area with a reader was only possible by presenting the card twice within a few seconds (double batching).

Note: Using “Setting Prefix” is superseding the double batching procedure to set/unset an area.

All

Different door modes depending on area setting state NEW New options have been added to change security level an area can be

accessed via door reader depending on the setting state of the area. E.g. during day (normally the area is unset) the users can present the card to open the door, but during night (area is set) the door requires Card + Pin to unset area / to open the door.

New System Options "Door Mode Set" and "Door Mode Unset" to define security level to open the door. - Default: Will act as defined at individual doors - Card + PIN: Will require Card + Pin - Card or Pin: Will require Card or Pin Note: The Card + PIN " or " Card or PIN " are superseding system wide the individual door setting options "Card + PIN", "Pin only", "PIN or Card", "Pin to Exit", if area is set resp. unset.

New system option "Override Reader Profile" to indicate required actions from or confirmations to the user via the reader LED’s: - No LED indication in idle state (independent if area is set or unset) - Fast flashing green LED when system expects the 2nd identification - If the user tries to set via reader the RED Led is permanently on for 10 sec. if area could be successfully set resp. RED Led is flashing for 10sec. if area could not be set for any reason. Note: This setting supersedes individual door setting options “LED Reader Profiles”. The status indication is optimized for readers with 2 individually controllable LED’s (e.g. Siemens PP500).

All

Additional Card Reader Profiles for HID Readers NEW Additional Card Reader profiles “Profile 3 [PIN/Site 0]” and “Profile 4

[PIN/Site 0]” have been added to the door expander options. This is to support the PIN pad option of HID readers that send the PIN to the panel as a special card read with predefined site code.

Note: To support this feature the 2-door expander in SPCA210, SPCP432 or SPCP433 requires firmware version 1.6 or higher

the usual way. However, if the area is unset there will be only a local alarm i.e. keypad buzzer, LED flash and zone display. This attribute is only applicable to Alarm, Fire and Seismic zones.

If the ‘Silent’ attribute is set then there will be no audible or visual indications of the Alarm. The alarm activation will be sent to the Receiver station. If the system is unset then a warning message is shown on the display.

New options for “Keyarm” zone type NEW New Zone attributes have been added to the “Keyarm” zone type:

Open Only: If this attribute is set then the setting state of the area will toggle every time this zone is activated. If this attribute is disabled the area will set when zone is activated and unset when zone is deactivated.

Fullset Enable: If this attribute is set then zone activation will only Fullset the system/area. Unset will not be possible. This is used if the user should have the ability to only FULLSET the system from a Keyarm zone and the unsetting of an area shall be prevented from a key arm zone.

Unset Enable: If set then zone activation will only Unset the system/area. Fullset will not be possible. This is used if the user should have the ability to only UNSET the system from a Keyarm zone and the setting of area shall be prevented from a Keyarm zone.
