FULL VERSION (ENG)
RFNEXUS – COMPLETE MANUAL FOR USE AND PROGRAMMING

Important: this manual refers to all the options available in the Comelit NEXUS App. Each user, according to their privileges or the type of designated user, may or may not have access to certain functions. Refer to the “Users” section for more details.

For information about installation and initial commissioning of the control panel, refer to the NEXUS control panel manual.

The Comelit NEXUS App is divided into five different sections:

Control – for arming and disarming the alarm in various areas
Notifications – for viewing the event log
Scenarios – for creating and executing scenarios, i.e., combined actions with or without automatic execution
Status – for viewing the overall system status
Configure – for programming the control panel and related peripherals

The “Control” menu is reserved only for users who have authorization to arm/disarm the alarm system (standard users or installers with temporary full administration rights). The “Configure” menu is reserved for users with system administration rights or authorized installers. For more information, see the “Users” section.

In addition, there is a top bar that, in addition to containing the page title and any commands (e.g., back arrow for navigating between menus and returning to the previous menu), also contains the icon [person icon] to access some app parameters and the selection of managed systems.

0.0 Managed Systems

Allows selection of the remote control panel to operate on. The list shows all control panels for which the account in use is authorized (refer to the “Users” section to verify the different possible account types).

It will also be possible to add new control panels using the menu button: refer to the NEXUS control panel manual for more details about the procedure for configuring a new control panel.

Selecting a control panel from the list will make three options available:

Reconfigure

Allows you to reconfigure the control panel’s Cloud connection in case of problems (control panel not connected to the Internet). Follow the instructions or refer to the NEXUS control panel manual to proceed with reconfiguring a connection mode.

Disable Notifications

Allows you to disable all PUSH notifications received from the selected control panel.

Connect

Allows access to the remote control panel to operate on the panel. You can only operate on one control panel at a time, but alarm notifications will be received and displayed by the App even for other control panels in the list not selected at this stage. By opening a notification, the app will directly select the control panel that sent the signal, allowing you to operate directly on the control panel concerned without the need for a new selection.

0.1 Password Access

Allows you to enable a password and possible biometric authentication to use for accessing the App.

You will be asked to set a numeric access password (6 digits) and only subsequently will it be possible to use the biometric authentication mode already set in the device (fingerprint or face recognition).

0.2 User Code (only for standard users; usable only in combination with radio keypad)

Allows you to customize your own code if previously enabled by the administrator user.

0.4 Comelit Website

To view the web page of the official Comelit website.

0.5 User Guide

To access the web version of this manual.

0.6 Leave a Review

To post a review/comment of the app.

0.7 Report a Problem

To send a report regarding the app’s operation.

0.8 Logout

To disconnect the user and possibly access using other login credentials.

1 Control

Allows alarm arming and disarming operations.

If there are multiple areas (up to a maximum of 8, see “Areas” section), these are displayed as subdivisions of the circular representation around the central lock.

It is possible to operate simultaneously on all areas by simply acting on the relative commands without selecting a specific area (click on the relevant portion of the circular representation).

The central lock and the coloring of the surrounding circle (whole or divided into areas) indicates the system status:

Gray = alarm not armed, no anomalies

Yellow = system anomaly

Green = alarm armed in total mode

Blue = alarm armed in partial mode (“Night” or “Partial”) or only in some areas

Red = alarm in progress or alarm memory

Arming can be total (i.e., applying to all detectors) or partial (the latter in turn divided into two options, i.e., applied only to detectors programmed with “Night” attribute or only to detectors programmed with “Partial” attribute).

Partial arming is particularly useful when you want to divide detectors into distinct groups within a single area, each independent in activation.

For example, in a single “HOME” area, it will be possible to assign the “Night” attribute to detectors placed outside or combined with the opening of gates and windows. In this way, arming the alarm in “Night” mode will create a condition where it will be possible to remain inside the dwelling (internal detectors inactive, as they are not included in “Night” mode) and obtain an alarm signal only in case of perimeter or external area violation.

Override

At the time of arming, the control panel checks the status of all devices (detectors and peripherals) and reports any anomalies.

In case of technical anomaly or abnormal condition (for example, an active detector that, not having exit delay, would lead to an immediate alarm condition), a warning message is displayed with a request to confirm arming anyway.

NB = during arming, active detectors have different behavior according to their characteristics: refer to the explanations of “reaction type” and “attributes” in the “Sensors” section for more details.

2 Notifications

Allows viewing of the event log containing all notifications generated by the control panel and related to specific events (arming/disarming, alarms, activations, anomalies, etc.). In case of alarms combined with a photo verification detector or a camera programmed for video verification, it will also be possible to play back the images combined with the alarm. In case of a sensor with camera, it will be possible to view the last 10 images for each detector (maximum 4 detectors usable in combination with each control panel).

3 Scenarios

Allows the creation and execution of up to 10 scenarios (automations) as well as the execution of quick commands.

3.1 Automations

It is possible to create up to 10 automations (scenarios) with manual or event-triggered activation (alarm, sensor activation, inactivity alarm, arming/disarming, entry of a valid code, activation of the input of an RFOUT022 module, specific time). Each automation can include up to 15 actions (arming/disarming, wait delay, output activation, notification sending).

First, you will need to create the desired scenario using the “+” button.

Scenario Activation Condition

Allows you to select one of the following options:

Alarm (related to one or more areas selectable individually)

Burglary
24H
Fire
Flood
Panic
Gas

Sensor (related to the activation of one or more sensors selectable individually)

Inactivity (related to one or more sensors programmed with “inactivity” attribute, selectable individually; refer to the “Sensors” section for more details about the “inactivity” function)

Arming/Disarming (related to one or more areas selectable individually)

Total disarming
Total arming
Arming in night mode
Arming in partial mode

User Login (future implementation)

Wired Input (related to the wired input of a radio IN/OUT device model RFOUT022, if installed)

Date & Time (related to a specific time on one or more days of the week, selectable individually)

Actions

Add, using the “+” button, up to 10 actions to be executed in sequence:

Arming/Disarming (related to one or more areas selectable individually)

Total disarming
Total arming
Arming in night mode
Arming in partial mode

Wait (related to a customizable waiting time before the next action)

Activate Output (related to the relay output of a radio IN/OUT device model RFOUT022, if installed)

Notification (related to sending a customized text notification to a specific user; the message will be displayed via PUSH notification on the recipient’s App)

Once created, press the [play] button to manually execute a specific scenario. For scenarios that include timed execution, the execution will follow the set timings. In case of repetitive activations (e.g., at a specific time, every day), these will repeat according to the set timings until possible deactivation or deletion of the scenario.

Deactivation allows you to temporarily block scenarios without deleting them.

Select the scenario and press the [prohibition] button to temporarily disable it.

A disabled scenario will be displayed in the list with the indication of the icon. To reactivate it, simply select it and enable the top option near the name.

To delete a scenario, select it and press the [trash] button.

To rename a scenario, select it and press the [edit] button.

3.2 Quick Commands

The available quick commands are:

Reset Alarm: performs a reset of the alarm memory (condition indicated by flashing red LED on the control panel); the alarm reset is also automatically performed at the next alarm arming.

Stop Alarm: interrupts the activation of sirens during an alarm.

Stop Calls: interrupts the sending of signals (calls, SMS and various notifications according to programming) during an alarm.

Panic: generates a panic alarm with the sending of related notifications. Any internal and external sirens will not be activated.

Robbery: generates a robbery alarm with the sending of related notifications. Any internal and external sirens will not be activated.

<artifact identifier=”nexus-manual-en-part2″ type=”text/markdown” title=”NEXUS Manual – English Translation (Part 2)”> ## 4 Status

Allows you to verify the general status of the control panel and related connected radio devices. Select the device group of interest.

4.1 Sensors

Includes all radio sensors previously paired with the control panel.

Select the sensor of interest to view specific information such as: general status (with any anomaly indications), system status (if currently active according to arming/disarming status of the area it belongs to and/or according to the “reaction type” set), activation status (e.g., open or closed), radio signal level, battery level.

Using the “Disable” option, you can disable the sensor (for example, in case of failure). Disabling remains active until a new manual reactivation operation (“Disable” option = OFF). Disabling a sensor results in the indication of an anomaly condition in the control panel.

4.2 Sirens and Outputs

Includes all radio outputs (sirens and output modules) previously paired with the control panel.

Select the device of interest to view specific information such as: general status (with any anomaly indications), system status (if currently active according to arming/disarming status of the area it belongs to), activation status (e.g., open or closed), radio signal level, battery level.

Using the “ACTIVATE SIREN” option, you can manually activate the output for a simple functional test. Press again to deactivate the output.

4.3 Peripherals

Includes all radio control peripherals (remote controls and keypads) previously paired with the control panel.

In the case of a remote control, select the device of interest to view specific information such as: general status (with any anomaly indications) and battery level.

In the case of a keypad, select the device of interest to view specific information such as: general status (with any anomaly indications), physical integrity (e.g., cover open or closed), radio signal level, battery level.

4.4 Video Verification

Includes all video verification devices (cameras) and photo verification (volumetric sensors with camera) activated in the “Cameras” section.

Select the device of interest.

In the case of volumetric sensors with camera, you can use the “TAKE PHOTO” command to acquire a real-time image. Image acquisition times vary from a few seconds to several tens of seconds depending on image size (see resolution settings in the “Sensors” section for related settings) and some environmental factors (radio signal quality, use of signal repeaters, Internet connection speed, etc.).

From the same menu, you can view the photo archive of images acquired manually or acquired on alarm (the latter also viewable from the event log, see “Notifications”). All images are stored in the control panel until possible sharing or saving in the smartphone’s image gallery. The control panel allows storing up to a maximum of 10 images for each volumetric sensor equipped with camera; subsequently, a new image will overwrite the oldest image.

In the case of cameras, you can view the real-time video stream.

4.5 Control Panel

Allows you to view the real-time status of individual areas (see “Areas” section) and the control panel (see “Real-time Control Panel Status” section).

4.5.1 Areas

Allows you to check the status of each area (area with alarm armed or disarmed, in failure or regular operation condition).

4.5.2 Real-time Control Panel Status

Allows you to view specific information such as: primary power supply connection status, battery status, control panel cover (open or closed).

The connection mode in use (Ethernet, Wi-Fi or GSM) is also indicated as per the related setting (see “Internet Connection” section) and the actual radio transmission status (indication of any radio interference or presence of other radio communications using the same channel).

5 Configure

This section refers to the technical settings of the control panel (programming parameters) and is accessible only to users with specific permissions.

It is possible to rename the control panel and verify some general information such as the firmware version of the control panel itself and the integrated radio communication module, as well as the ID32 or the unique identification number of the control panel, possibly useful for any technical checks by the manufacturer.

The general parameters include several technical programming menus described below.

5.1 Users

In this section, you can manage users paired with the control panel, assign them specific permissions to operate on the control panel and receive notifications for specific events and according to specific communication methods.

There are four types of users:

The system owner (administrator user) who has complete control of the control panel and its accessories

The standard user who normally operates on the control panel without the ability to modify the system configuration

The installer who, with the owner’s authorization, can access the control panel programming excluding arming and disarming operations

The installer with temporary administration privileges who, with the owner’s authorization, in addition to accessing the control panel programming, is also authorized for alarm arming and disarming operations

Use the “+” button to add a user.

Select the type of user to add: installer or user. In the case of a user, it will also be possible…

An email will be sent to the user also containing the link to proceed with installing the App. If the user already has the Comelit Nexus App, they will find the shared control panel already among the managed systems.

Select the user and press the [trash] button to delete a user.

Select the user and press the [prohibition] button to temporarily disable a user.

Each user has the ability to edit their own information (name, surname and phone number) by pressing the [edit] button after selecting their own name.

The operations of adding, enabling and disabling, as well as deleting users also include sending a notification email to the administrator user as well as to the person concerned.

The following icons are used to indicate account status and properties:

Administrator user icon
Standard user icon
Installer icon
User with temporary administration rights icon
User to whom an access request has been sent but who has not yet proceeded with the connection
Disabled user (will no longer be able to operate on the control panel until possible reactivation)
Disabled installer (will no longer be able to operate on the control panel until possible reactivation)

5.1.1 Areas (only for standard users)

Allows you to select the areas manageable by each user. The administrator user will have control over all areas without the possibility of excluding specific areas.

5.1.2 Notifications

Allows you to define what and how to notify each user in case of specific events such as alarm, tampering, failure, anomalies, action, command, etc.

There are four notification sending methods: phone call or SMS (only using a SIM card that supports such functions), PUSH notification via Comelit Nexus app, email (with sending via Comelit Cloud).

Phone calls are available only for alarm events or device tampering (and related restorations) and use a pre-recorded voice with a message composed with the following syntax “event” + “device ID” + “area ID” (+ “user ID” in case of action).

The notified events are also divided into five different groups, each of which can be activated or deactivated on each of the four communication methods above:

5.1.4 User Code (only for administrator users)

Usable only in combination with keypad. Allows you to enable and modify the user code usable on the keypad. Each user will then have the ability to customize their own code through the “User Code” option available in the App settings (icon [person icon] at the top right – see “User Code” section).

5.2 Devices

In this section, you can manage the addition (registration) and removal of radio devices (sensors, sirens/outputs, keypads/remote controls).

Use the “+” button to add a new device and select the model from the list of the device model to add.

For more information, follow the App instructions or refer to the “Sensors”, “Sirens & Outputs” or “Peripherals” sections, according to the sensor type.

Warning: the registration procedure for some devices may require access to the internal electronic board. In this case, make sure the control panel is placed in maintenance mode (see “Maintenance Mode”) before proceeding. Otherwise, once the sensor is acquired, its tampering condition (open cover) will be immediately detected and the tampering alarm will be activated.

In case of problems during radio device registration procedures, proceed with restoring the factory configuration (see “Default Configuration”), making sure the “Keep radio device pairing” option is disabled. Then proceed to reset individual radio devices as described below:

Radio Device Pairing (Enrollment Procedure)

Warning: each radio device has a unique ID and can only be paired with one control panel. If it needs to be paired with another control panel, it will first be necessary to reset it; if the control panel to which it was previously paired is active, after a few minutes it will report an anomaly indication (device radio connection loss) and it will be necessary to delete the device from the keypad configuration to restore normal operation.

Different methods are possible for pairing radio devices to the control panel:

Battery Tab Removal

In case of a new device, simply remove the battery isolation tab immediately after starting the pairing procedure via App. Refer to the instructions provided by the App to identify the tab position according to the device.

Button Press

For remote controls, simply press any button immediately after starting the pairing procedure via App.

If the procedure is unsuccessful, follow the detailed instructions for the specific device available at this link: MT Nexus accessories – Comelit Group

Device Power On

For devices without battery tab, it is necessary to provide power to the device immediately after starting the pairing procedure via App. Refer to the instructions provided by the App to identify the power supply method according to the device (battery insertion, power connector connection, etc.)

ENROLL Button Press

If none of the two previous options were successful and/or available, you can proceed by pressing the “ENROLL” button located inside the device, immediately after starting the pairing procedure via App.

Radio Device Reset – Registration Deletion

If a device has already been registered and paired with any control panel, to repeat the registration it is first necessary to reset the device itself.

Reset can be obtained by pressing the “ENROLL” button for 7 seconds. For some devices (RFKP and RFSMK), a dedicated reset button is available to be pressed until the LEDs flash to confirm the reset operation. For remote controls, press buttons 1 and 4 simultaneously until the red LED lights up solid. With the red LED on, press button 4 once.

After reset, it will be possible to proceed with device registration using one of the procedures described above.

For more information, refer to the manuals of individual radio devices available at this link: MT Nexus Accessories.

Adding New Devices

To add new devices, select the “+” button. If there are already registered devices (i.e., paired with the control panel), select the specific category to view the list of all devices.

Modifying Parameters of Already Paired Devices

If devices are already present, simply choose the device of interest listed in one of the following categories to view additional information and modify the specific configuration.

5.2.1 Sensors

This section includes detection devices for alarm activation (sensors).

If there are devices already paired with the control panel, select the device from the list to view the related details and options.

Additional information is collected in the top section (green box), expandable using the “>” button and includes:

Name: editable with the [edit] button

Model: reports the specific device code (not editable)

Radio Signal Level: real-time indication of radio connection quality (signal excellent or optimal; good signal; more than sufficient signal; poor signal; signal too weak)

Battery Level: real-time indication of battery status (battery with sufficient charge level; low battery requiring replacement)

Device Serial Number: reports the unique serial identification of the radio device

Firmware Version: reports the specific firmware version of the radio device (requires a few seconds to update after first pairing)

Identify with LED On (Find Device): allows easier identification of the specific device by turning on the LED. In case of multiple devices of the same model, use this function to activate and deactivate the LED flashing on the device of interest.

Device Deletion: with the [trash] button, you can delete a device previously paired with the control panel. Warning: deletion only removes it from the list of devices paired with the control panel but does not reset the device itself. To proceed with a new pairing to a control panel, it is first necessary to reset it (see “Radio Device Reset – Registration Deletion”).

Name Modification: with the [edit] button, you can edit the device name.

According to the device type, more or fewer specific configuration parameters will be available:

Indoor Volumetric Sensors RF12PIR

Reaction Type

Instant – generates an immediate alarm in case of activation with system armed
Entry/Exit – during system arming, it will be active (i.e., capable of generating an alarm) only at the end of the set exit delay; with system armed, in case of activation, an alarm will be generated only at the end of the set entry delay.

Entry and exit times are customizable individually for each device up to a maximum of 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

24H Always Active – each activation generates a 24H type alarm even if the system is disarmed
Inactivity Warning – generates an “inactivity alarm” event if there is no activation within a 24-hour time interval. This alarm will be recorded in the event log and notified to any alarm receiving center, if programmed (see “Remote Monitoring”). It is also possible to combine specific actions (e.g., notification signals) to this event by creating specific automations (see “Automations”).
Entry Path – in case of activation with system armed, an immediate alarm will be generated if activated before any other sensor. However, in case of activation during an entry delay phase already triggered by another sensor, it will use its own entry delay before generating an alarm.

Entry path does not include exit delays during system arming phase (immediate alarm). Normally used for detection devices along the entry/exit path.

Areas – defines which areas the sensor is paired with.

Warning: in case of pairing with two or more areas, this sensor will generate an alarm only when all areas it belongs to are armed.

Open Cover Alarm – allows you to enable or disable tampering notification in case of sensor housing opening

LED – allows you to enable or disable the LED on the device. If active, the LED will activate with each detection

Attributes

Night – if active, allows alarm generation by this sensor in case of alarm arming in night mode, in addition to total arming
Partial – if active, allows alarm generation by this sensor also in case of alarm arming in partial mode, in addition to total arming
Excludable – this option has different behavior depending on whether the sensor is set with “Instant” or “Entry/Exit” reaction type

For “instant” sensors, this option enables automatic sensor restoration in case of temporary manual exclusion, i.e., “forced” alarm arming. In other words, a sensor that is in detection mode at the time of alarm arming will be automatically excluded in case of arming via remote control or keypad (in APP, the operator will be asked whether to proceed with exclusion or manually restore a “rest” condition before arming). Subsequently, during the alarm arming phase, we will have two possible behaviors:

if the “excludable” option is active, the sensor will generate an alarm in case of new activation during the arming cycle (exclusion with auto-restoration).

if the “excludable” option is not active, the sensor will not generate any alarm even in case of subsequent activations during the entire arming cycle (exclusion without auto-restoration).

For “delayed” sensors (“Entry/Exit” reaction), this option enables automatic sensor exclusion in case it is in detection mode at the end of the exit time. In other words, at the end of the exit time with the sensor in detection phase, we will have two possible behaviors:

if the “excludable” option is active, the sensor will be excluded for the entire arming cycle (exclusion without auto-restoration).

if the “excludable” option is not active, the sensor will generate an alarm at the time of actual zone arming (end of exit time).

Silent – if active, instead of generating an alarm in case of activation with system armed, only an activation event will be reported in the event log
Double Pulse Interval – if active, will generate an alarm in case of armed system only if two activations of this sensor occur within the set time interval. The first activation, therefore, will generate a pre-alarm condition (no alarm signal but only notation in event log) and only a second activation before the end of the set time will generate an actual alarm. In the absence of a second detection within the set time, the pre-alarm condition is canceled and the cycle is reset for a new double activation
Double Zone – if active, will generate an alarm in case of armed system only if activations of two different sensors, both with “Double Zone” attribute, occur within the set time interval. The first activation, therefore, will generate a pre-alarm condition (no alarm signal but only notation in event log) and only the activation of the second sensor before the end of the set time will generate an actual alarm. In the absence of a second detection within the set time, the pre-alarm condition is canceled and the cycle is reset for a new double activation
Delay with Night/Partial (available only if sensor is set with “Instant” reaction type) – if active, will use the set entry delay only in case of system armed in night or partial mode. For total arming, no entry delay will be used
Disable Exit Delay with Night/Partial (available only if sensor is set with “Entry/Exit” reaction type) – if active, the set exit delay will be zeroed (ignored) in case of system armed in night or partial mode. For total arming, the set exit delay will instead be normally used.

Advanced Settings

IR Sensitivity – allows you to select high sensitivity (greater intruder detection capability) or low (lower intruder detection capability). The default value is “high sensitivity” but in some circumstances it is possible to reduce the sensor’s detection capability to avoid false alarms while maintaining the ability to detect intruders (for example, in the case of large pets). A real test (5.7.3 Sensor Testing) is suggested to verify that the selected value is suitable for specific use
Battery Saving – allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) energy saving mode that ensures greater battery life. If battery saving is disabled, the sensor transmits all detections both with system armed and disarmed. If battery saving is enabled, the sensor transmits one detection and then waits 3 minutes to transmit a new signal, both with system armed and disarmed </artifact>

Indoor Volumetric Sensors with Camera RF12PIRCAM

Reaction Type

Instant – generates an immediate alarm in case of activation with system armed
Entry/Exit – during system arming, it will be active (i.e., capable of generating an alarm) only at the end of the set exit delay; with system armed, in case of activation, an alarm will be generated only at the end of the set entry delay.

Entry and exit times are customizable individually for each device up to a maximum of 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

24H Always Active – each activation generates a 24H type alarm even if the system is disarmed
Inactivity Warning – generates an “inactivity alarm” event if there is no activation within a 24-hour time interval. This alarm will be recorded in the event log and notified to any alarm receiving center, if programmed (see “Remote Monitoring”). It is also possible to combine specific actions (e.g., notification signals) to this event by creating specific automations (see “Automations”).
Entry Path – in case of activation with system armed, an immediate alarm will be generated if activated before any other sensor. However, in case of activation during an entry delay phase already triggered by another sensor, it will use its own entry delay before generating an alarm.

The “Entry Path” reaction type does not include exit delays during system arming phase (immediate alarm) and is normally used for detection devices located along the entry path to access any control keypad, within an area with perimeter protected by other sensors.

Areas – defines which areas the sensor is paired with.

Warning: in case of pairing with two or more areas, this sensor will generate an alarm only when all areas it belongs to are armed.

Open Cover Alarm – allows you to enable or disable tampering notification in case of sensor housing opening

LED – allows you to enable or disable the LED on the device. If active, the LED will activate with each detection

Attributes

Night – if active, allows alarm generation by this sensor in case of alarm arming in night mode, in addition to total arming
Partial – if active, allows alarm generation by this sensor also in case of alarm arming in partial mode, in addition to total arming
Excludable – this option has different behavior depending on whether the sensor is set with “Instant” or “Entry/Exit” reaction type

if the “excludable” option is active, the sensor will generate an alarm in case of new activation during the arming cycle (exclusion with auto-restoration).

if the “excludable” option is not active, the sensor will not generate any alarm even in case of subsequent activations during the entire arming cycle (exclusion without auto-restoration).

if the “excludable” option is active, the sensor will be excluded for the entire arming cycle (exclusion without auto-restoration).

if the “excludable” option is not active, the sensor will generate an alarm at the time of actual zone arming (end of exit time).

Silent – if active, instead of generating an alarm in case of activation with system armed, only an activation event will be reported in the event log
Double Pulse Interval – if active, will generate an alarm in case of armed system only if two activations of this sensor occur within the set time interval. The first activation, therefore, will generate a pre-alarm condition (no alarm signal but only notation in event log) and only a second activation before the end of the set time will generate an actual alarm. In the absence of a second detection within the set time, the pre-alarm condition is canceled and the cycle is reset for a new double activation
Double Zone – if active, will generate an alarm in case of armed system only if activations of two different sensors, both with “Double Zone” attribute, occur within the set time interval. The first activation, therefore, will generate a pre-alarm condition (no alarm signal but only notation in event log) and only the activation of the second sensor before the end of the set time will generate an actual alarm. In the absence of a second detection within the set time, the pre-alarm condition is canceled and the cycle is reset for a new double activation
Delay with Night/Partial (available only if sensor is set with “Instant” reaction type) – if active, will use the set entry delay only in case of system armed in night or partial mode. For total arming, no entry delay will be used
Disable Exit Delay with Night/Partial (available only if sensor is set with “Entry/Exit” reaction type) – if active, the set exit delay will be zeroed (ignored) in case of system armed in night or partial mode. For total arming, the set exit delay will instead be normally used.

Advanced Settings

Camera Settings
- Image Resolution – allows you to select the resolution of the image generated in case of alarm or on request. Selectable resolution values are low (208×128 pixels), medium (400×240 pixels) or high (800×480 pixels).
- Number of Images – allows you to select the number of images captured and transmitted in case of alarm
Sensor Settings
- IR Sensitivity – allows you to select high sensitivity (greater intruder detection capability) or low (lower intruder detection capability). The default value is “high sensitivity” but in some circumstances it is possible to reduce the sensor’s detection capability to avoid false alarms while maintaining the ability to detect intruders (for example, in the case of large pets). A real test (see 5.7.3 Sensor Testing) is suggested to verify that the selected value is suitable for specific use
- Battery Saving – allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) energy saving mode that ensures greater battery life. If battery saving is disabled, the sensor transmits one detection and then waits 1 minute to transmit a new signal, both with system armed and disarmed. If battery saving is enabled, the sensor transmits one detection and then waits 3 minutes to transmit a new signal, both with system armed and disarmed.

Opening Sensors with Single Wired Input (RF1MCW / RF1MCB)

Magnetic Contact – allows you to enable or disable the internal magnetic sensor. If only the wired input is used without the magnetic detector, disable this option

Reaction Type

Instant – generates an immediate alarm in case of activation with system armed
Entry/Exit – during system arming, it will be active (i.e., capable of generating an alarm) only at the end of the set exit delay; with system armed, in case of activation, an alarm will be generated only at the end of the set entry delay.

Entry and exit times are customizable individually for each device up to a maximum of 4 minutes and 15 seconds.

24H Always Active – each activation generates a 24H type alarm even if the system is disarmed
Inactivity Warning – generates an “inactivity alarm” event if there is no activation within a 24-hour time interval. This alarm will be recorded in the event log and notified to any alarm receiving center, if programmed (see “Remote Monitoring”). It is also possible to combine specific actions (e.g., notification signals) to this event by creating specific automations (see “Automations”).
Entry Path – in case of activation with system armed, an immediate alarm will be generated if activated before any other sensor. However, in case of activation during an entry delay phase already triggered by another sensor, it will use its own entry delay before generating an alarm.

Areas – defines which areas the sensor is paired with.

Warning: in case of pairing with two or more areas, this sensor will generate an alarm only when all areas it belongs to are armed.

Open Cover Alarm – allows you to enable or disable tampering notification in case of sensor housing opening

LED – allows you to enable or disable the LED on the device. If active, the LED will activate with each detection

if the “excludable” option is active, the sensor will be excluded for the entire arming cycle (exclusion without auto-restoration).

if the “excludable” option is not active, the sensor will generate an alarm at the time of actual zone arming (end of exit time).

Double Pulse Interval – if active, will generate an alarm in case of armed system only if two activations of this sensor occur within the set time interval. The first activation, therefore, will generate a pre-alarm condition (no alarm signal but only notation in event log) and only a second activation before the end of the set time will generate an actual alarm. In the absence of a second detection within the set time, the pre-alarm condition is canceled and the cycle is reset for a new double activation
Double Zone – if active, will generate an alarm in case of armed system only if activations of two different sensors, both with “Double Zone” attribute, occur within the set time interval. The first activation, therefore, will generate a pre-alarm condition (no alarm signal but only notation in event log) and only the activation of the second sensor before the end of the set time will generate an actual alarm. In the absence of a second detection within the set time, the pre-alarm condition is canceled and the cycle is reset for a new double activation

Firmware Version: reports the specific firmware version of the radio device (requires a few seconds to update after first pairing)

Device Deletion: with the [trash] button, you can delete a device previously paired with the control panel. Warning: deletion only removes it from the list of devices paired with the control panel but does not reset the device itself. To proceed with a new pairing to a control panel, it is first necessary to proceed with its reset (see “Radio Device Reset – Registration Deletion”).

Name Modification: with the [edit] button, you can edit the device name.

According to the device type, more or fewer specific configuration parameters will be available:

Remote Control (RF4KEY / RF4KEYW)

Paired User – allows you to select the user using this remote control. Commands executed via this remote control will only have effect on the areas enabled for the selected user (see “Users”)

Button 3 (lower left) – allows you to activate an additional function to pair with this button and selectable from the proposed options

Button 4 (lower right) – allows you to activate an additional function to pair with this button and selectable from the proposed options

Keypad (RFKP)

Areas – defines which areas the keypad is paired with. In case of operations using a code (e.g., disarming), actual control of an area is still subject to using the code adopted by a user authorized for the specific area of interest. For example, if the keypad is enabled for controlling area 1 and 2, quick arming will apply to both areas but in case of disarming, if I use the code of a user authorized only for area 1, disarming of area 2 will not be performed.

Open Cover Alarm – allows you to enable or disable tampering notification in case of siren housing opening

Sound – allows you to enable or disable sound notification of specific events and related sound intensity

Sound Activation – allows you to enable or disable sound notification for each individual event:

Entry Time

Exit Time

Arming/Disarming

Alarm

Button Press

Doorbell (in combination with a sensor with specific attribute)

Sound Duration – defines the sound duration in case of alarm (max. 300 seconds)

Backlight – allows you to enable or disable button backlighting and related light intensity. Button backlighting activation is still managed by the keypad to activate only in case of operator presence with low light conditions (except for alarm signaling).

Quick Arming – allows you to enable or disable the quick arming option (arming without code with simple press of button)

Custom Action – allows you to enable or disable a quick command option (night or partial arming / quick command / output activation / automation) executable using a valid code followed by the “#” button

5.3 Areas

Areas are logical groupings of devices, each of which can refer to a zone. Areas correspond to the general environments you want to protect independently (e.g., rooms or specific environments).

For example, it is possible to create an area for the dwelling and one for the cellar. Each area will have a specific selection of devices (detectors and/or peripherals) for which arming and disarming operations will only affect those specific devices included in the area.

It will be possible to arm the alarm only for the cellar and not for the dwelling. Using scenarios, it will then be possible to combine arming/disarming operations on multiple areas in a single command.

It is possible to create up to 8 areas, each of which groups one or more devices also in shared form and assign each area a custom name (max. 32 characters).

5.4 Cameras

Here you can manage up to 4 cameras connected to the system and used for video verification with automatic creation of a video clip combined with an alarm (video clip duration of approximately 10 seconds including 5 seconds of pre-alarm).

Use the “+” button to add a new camera.

An RTSP stream with H-264 codec, FULL-HD maximum resolution is required. Native compatibility with Comelit cameras and video recorders from the NEXT or ADVANCE series is guaranteed.

Required parameters are:

Camera Model

Select the correct model in use (Comelit ADVANCE or NEXT camera, Comelit ADVANCE or NEXT video recorder, generic camera)

IP Address

Indicate the IP address used for the RTSP stream (e.g., 192.168.1.2). The address must be accessible from the control panel (e.g., LAN local network in class C addresses)

Port

Indicate the port used for the RTSP stream (usually 554)

User

Indicate the login name required for accessing the RTSP stream

Password

Indicate the password required for accessing the RTSP stream

RTSP Stream

Set the specific RTSP string to use in its complete syntax except for the IP address. For example, for an RTSP stream available at address “rtsp://192.168.0.200/sub_stream” enter “sub_stream” in this field

For Comelit ADVANCE or NEXT cameras or video recorders, this value is pre-filled.

Channel (only if Comelit NVR selected)

Select the video channel in use

Operating Mode

Allows you to define whether cameras are used only for “live” viewing without recording (video verification OFF) or also for creating video clips combined with alarms (video verification ON)

If video verification is activated, select the sensor(s) that will generate the video clip in case of alarm

5.5 General Parameters

Includes, in addition to a series of general options, also a summary section of the following information relating to the control panel, grouped in the top section (expandable by pressing the “>” button):

System Name = modifiable using the [edit] button

Main firmware version of the control panel

Radio module firmware version of the control panel

ID32 = unique identification number of the control panel, possibly useful for any technical checks by the manufacturer (if necessary, press the [edit] button to access the next menu where you can copy and share the ID32 value)

5.5.1 Timings

Here you can edit the timings relating to:

230VAC Failure Warning Delay: useful for avoiding frequent notifications in case power failure is a frequent and short-duration condition

Internet Failure Warning Delay: useful for avoiding frequent notifications in case Internet connection failure is a frequent and short-duration condition

Double Pulse Interval: used as time window for which detectors with “double pulse” option active will generate an alarm only if at least two activations are detected within the set time interval

Double Alarm Interval: used as time window for which detectors with “double alarm” option active will generate an alarm only if activation of another detector belonging to another area is detected within the set time interval

5.5.2 Internet Connection

Allows you to modify Internet connection settings through one or more of the available communication channels

5.5.2.1 Ethernet

Allows you to modify wired network connection settings (IPv4). Select the correct configuration value (DHCP or static IP) according to the network used; in case of static IP use, it will also be necessary to complete all additional data (subnet mask, gateway, primary DNS and secondary DNS).

The default configuration is DHCP.

The “check connection via Internet” option defines whether the control panel will activate connection control to the Cloud on this communication channel. If control is activated, the control panel will perform a periodic check of regular communication to the Cloud and, in case of anomaly, will activate the related signaling also sending appropriate notification (if programmed). Refer to the following section “Connection Logic Through Different Communication Channels” for more details).

If the wired network is used only for camera connection and a different communication channel is used for Internet connection (e.g., Wi-Fi or 4G), disable the “check connection via Internet” option.

5.5.2.2 Wi-Fi

Allows you to activate wireless network connection IEEE 802.11 b/g/n, 2.4GHz and set the correct parameters (SSID and password).

WPA-PSK (AES), WPA2-PSK (AES), WPA3-PSK (AES) encryption and authentication are supported while open 2.4GHz networks (without encryption), with WEP encryption, anonymous (without SSID) and all 5GHz networks are not supported.

5.5.2.3 GSM/4G

Allows you to activate and configure GSM/4G data connection via SIM card (not supplied).

4G FDD 800/900/1800/2100/2600MHz and GSM 900/1800MHz connectivity is supported.

The control panel also has an auto-detection function of the SIM in use and is therefore able to automatically configure connection parameters according to an integrated database that includes major international mobile operators.

In case of operator not automatically recognized or if necessary, you can manually modify the following parameters:

PIN = SIM card unlock code (if used)

APN = Access Point Name (specific for the operator in use)

Username = username for user authorization in the mobile network

Password = password for user authorization in the mobile network

Expiration Date = date by which to renew the SIM card validity contract (if required). Upon reaching the set date, a failure condition will be activated as a reminder notice to the user to proceed with SIM card renewal. GSM/4G connectivity will remain active as long as it is supported by the operator.

4G SIM as primary connection = refer to the following section “Connection Logic Through Different Communication Channels” for more details.

Connection Logic Through Different Communication Channels

Ethernet or 4G communication channels are automatically activated by the control panel if the connection of a cable with data communication (10BASE-T/100BASE-TX auto-detection according to Ethernet IEEE 802.3 standard) or the insertion of a valid SIM card is detected respectively.

The Wi-Fi communication channel can be activated and programmed via App.

Wi-Fi communication is also used for communication in Access-Point mode in case of direct control panel configuration without other active communication channels. Refer to the information in the NEXUS control panel manual for more details about activating and using Access-Point mode.

In case of activation of multiple communication channels, the usage priorities are as follows:

Option “4G SIM as primary connection” not active

Primary Channel Ethernet/WiFi*

Secondary Channel 4G

Option “4G SIM as primary connection” active

Primary Channel 4G

Secondary Channel Ethernet/WiFi*

In case Wi-Fi connection is activated simultaneously with an Ethernet connection, it will only be used in case of wired network malfunction. It is also possible to activate an Ethernet and Wi-Fi connection on the same data network.

NOTE

For greater communication reliability, the use of an Ethernet connection with 4G backup connection (“4G SIM as primary connection” not active”) is recommended.
Activation of “4G SIM as primary connection” mode results in higher 4G data consumption which could result in additional costs according to your operator’s tariff plan.

In case a communication channel is no longer available during normal operation (e.g., disconnected Ethernet cable or absent telephone coverage) and the “check connection via Internet” option is active, an anomaly will be reported and an appropriate notification sent (if programmed).

The verification time before reporting an Internet connection anomaly can be modified (see parameter “Timings – Internet Failure Warning Delay”)

To restore normal functionality and remove the anomaly condition, proceed to restore the communication channel.

If the communication channel is no longer in use, proceed to deactivate it as follows:

Wi-Fi = disable the Wi-Fi option

Ethernet = after placing the control panel in maintenance mode (see “Maintenance Mode”), open the lower door and remove the Ethernet connection cable. Proceed to restart the control panel (see “Restart System”).

4G = after placing the control panel in maintenance mode (see “Maintenance Mode”), open the lower door and remove the SIM card. Proceed to restart the control panel (“Restart System”).

5.5.3 Date/Time

Allows you to select the desired time zone and enable or disable daylight saving time (summer/winter time). The control panel is able to select the most correct parameters according to Internet connection

5.5.4 Advanced Options

Includes a series of more technical parameters detailed below:

5.5.4.1 Language

Allows you to select a specific language for the control panel that will be used for notifications sent to users (SMS and PUSH texts, as well as any pre-recorded voice messages used for phone calls), as well as for events stored in the appropriate log.

Selection of a new language different from English requires downloading the related data package from the Cloud. This operation may take several minutes, depending on Internet connection speed.

The App language cannot be changed but is automatically selected according to the language of the device on which the App is installed. In case the device uses a language that is not supported by the App, English language display is used.

5.5.4.2 Control Panel Offline Notification (option available only for administrator user)

If activated, a PUSH signal will be sent to the administrator user if the Cloud detects a control panel disconnection from the Internet for more than 5 minutes. Similarly, connection restoration will be reported with an appropriate reconnection notification.

5.5.4.3 Maintenance Mode

If activated, inhibits all alarm and tampering signals. Therefore allows operation on the system for programming or to access the rear compartment of the control panel (connections) without causing false alarms.

Maintenance mode cannot be activated if the alarm is armed and will automatically deactivate in case of subsequent alarm arming. When activated, the App will clearly display a warning banner on every screen.

Make sure the system is not in tampering conditions before manual or automatic deactivation (arming) of maintenance mode

5.5.4.4 Firmware Update

Allows you to check the current firmware version (control panel and internal radio transmitter) and enable or disable automatic updates via Cloud.

Automatic updates will be applied at a random time, only while the system is disarmed.

Upon enabling automatic updates, a check for availability of new versions will be performed and if available, download and installation will be proposed.

Installation of updates requires several minutes during which full control panel functionality is not guaranteed.

5.5.4.5 Default Configuration

Allows you to restore all parameters to factory value.

At the end of restoration, which can also last several minutes, it will be necessary to repeat the control panel parameter programming operation.

For radio device acquisition, if these have already been previously paired with the control panel, it will be necessary to proceed with their reset. Refer to the “Devices” section for more details)

The default factory configuration has two options:

EN-50131 Compliance: will use default values compliant with EN-50131 grade 2 standard. In particular, the following functional variations will be implemented:

Event Log

Default configuration: no recording of login, logout or specific ongoing events.

EN-50131 configuration: enables recording of all login, logout and ongoing events.

Arming

Default configuration: in case of arming, the sensor automatically reactivates upon restoration of failure, tampering or opening condition.

EN-50131 configuration: blocks arming if an opening, failure or tampering condition is detected.

Isolation Function

Default configuration: device isolation is possible in any condition.

EN50131 configuration: device isolation is possible only in presence of a tampering or alarm condition.

Failed Arming Alarm

Default configuration: function disabled

EN50131 configuration: function activated with alarm generation in case of failed arming at the end of exit time.

Siren Timeout

Default configuration: minimum siren timeout of 1 minute.

EN50131 configuration: minimum siren timeout of 3 minutes.

Quick Arming

Default configuration: quick arming can be activated.

EN50131 configuration: quick arming cannot be activated.

Other System Behaviors

For aspects such as backup channel, mains/battery operation, mains failures, alarms, tampering detection, notifications, etc., the default configuration is fully compliant with EN50131 requirements.

Keep Radio Device Pairing: allows you to keep pairing with radio devices already combined with the control panel.

5.5.4.6 Restart System

Allows, upon confirmation, a complete system restart. Warning: the restart procedure involves up to 30 seconds of system inoperability.

5.5.5 Open Cover Alarm

Allows you to enable or disable the switch to detect opening of the rear bracket of the control panel or removal from the wall in case of fixing using the appropriate anti-tear protection

5.6 Remote Monitoring

Allows adding up to two remote monitoring institutes (ARC) or 4 generic recipients to send notifications of specific events.

Communication to monitoring institutes is performed using SIA or ContactID protocol, both in digital IP format (DC-09). AES-128 encryption is supported so alarm and event messages transmitted to the ARC are encrypted using a secret key defined by the user, which must match the receiving center configuration.

Select the desired recipient type: remote monitoring institutes or generic recipient

Use the “+” button to create a new recipient.

In case of monitoring institute, using the [edit] button you can edit the set name. Use the [trash] button to delete a previously created monitoring institute.

Select Configuration to set specific connection parameters provided by the institute itself: IP address – port – account prefix – account number – receiver number – “timestamp” activation/deactivation – encryption key (optional).

In case of generic recipient, using the [edit] button you can edit the name, set an email address and/or phone number. Use the [trash] button to delete a previously created recipient. For each user you can select the notification group to send and the related method (voice call, SMS or email). Refer to the “Notifications” section for more details.

5.7 Testing

5.7.1 Periodic Communication Test

Allows you to activate periodic call test to a recipient (user, installer or monitoring institute). In case of monitoring institutes, the call will occur according to the method set in the “Actions” / “System Operation” group notifications configuration and will involve sending a specific “periodic test” signal. In case of users, installers or generic remote monitoring recipients, notification will be sent according to the method set for “Actions” / “System Operation” group notifications (see “Notifications”)

If activated, requires programming of the following parameters:

Interval: duration of time between one test call and the next

Start Date: current or future date to start periodic test

Start Time: specific time to start periodic test (e.g., repeated daily if interval is “24h”)

Recipient: recipient of periodic test call.

5.7.2 Single Communication Test

Allows manual execution of a single instant call/notification to a specific recipient (user, installer or monitoring institute). The call/notification will be sent according to the method set for “Actions” / “System Operation” group notifications (see 5.1.2 Notifications)

5.7.3 Sensor Testing

Allows execution of a simple walk-test to verify functionality of all sensors.

The screen will display the list of all sensors with indication of whether activation was detected during the test cycle. Move in the environment to activate each sensor and verify that at the end of the test all sensors report correct indication of detection occurred.

Press STOP to interrupt the test at any time. Press RUN TEST if necessary to repeat the test.

5.7.4 Siren and Output Testing

Allows manual activation of sirens and outputs of RFOUT022 module (if installed) for simple functional verification.

5.7.5 Battery Status Testing

Allows, in a single operation, quick verification of battery charge status of the control panel and all radio devices. The screen will display the list of all devices with battery status indication. Any devices with low battery status will be highlighted at the beginning of the list.
