Estate gates and house alarms in a single receiver
A housing estate with round-the-clock security: one identification receiver controls the entry and exit gates and, at the same time, receives alarm signals from the panels in the houses and passes them to the security room.
- 86houses on the estate
- approx. 400people authorised to drive in
- 1shared receiver
01 / Investment context
What problem had to be solved?
The estate has 86 houses, and about 400 people are authorised to drive in and out. It has round-the-clock security, an entry gate and an exit gate. Residents must be able to open both gates themselves with a remote control, and the security room must learn in which house an alarm has gone off.
The houses have their own alarm panels, but an alarm in one of them does not tell security which house it comes from — a guard would first have to work that out. The association therefore wanted a second notification path: from the panel of the property concerned to the estate’s security room, identifying the specific house — even when the guard is on patrol rather than in the security room.
Shared equipment is paid for by all the properties, so it mattered that one system should handle both the gates and the alarms, rather than two separate sets of equipment to buy and maintain.
The investor’s goal: Gate access and a second alarm notification path in one system: residents open the gate with a remote, and the security room knows at once which house the alarm came from.
What was designed?
The basis is a single identification receiver (IDO-1000) that handles both tasks. Two of its channels control the gates: each resident receives a two-button remote (today the PUK-102) — one button opens the entry gate, the other the exit gate. The channel relay works in monostable mode and sends a signal to the drive’s control input for 20 seconds.
The third channel is used to monitor alarms. The alarm panels on the properties were extended with a transmitter (NRP-102) that starts transmitting when the panel applies voltage to it. The receiver recognises which transmitter has sent, and the Tablica Synoptyczna software (today SPA-1000/PR) on the computer in the security room shows which house the alarm came from and stores the event in its archive. At the same time the third channel’s relay switches on an outdoor light-and-sound signal unit, placed where the guard on patrol can see it.
About 400 remotes plus one transmitter per house with a panel — at most 86 — fit into the receiver’s memory of 1,000 transmitters. The receiver deletes transmitters individually, so a lost remote is removed without touching the others. Pager notification for the security staff (today with the OBI-4SH pager) would complement the system, but the investor decided against it.
02 / Operating principle
From signal to action.
One receiver handles the estate’s gates and the alarms from the houses. Every signal goes to the right channel.
Alarm from a house
-
01 / Signal source
NRP-102 Transmitter at the house’s alarm panelSends the alarm from the property to the shared system.
-
02 / Reception
IDO-1000 Shared receiverIdentifies the source and handles the alarm channel.
-
03 / Notification
Security Two alarm points Security room + Signal unitShown on screen, and an alarm the guard on patrol can see.
Security knows which house the alarm came from. The software points to the property and logs the event; the signal unit alerts the guard on patrol.
Entry and exit
-
01 / Signal source
Resident’s remote Two-button remoteOne button opens the entry gate, the other the exit gate.

02 / Reception

-
03 / Action
Gate Entry or exitThe channel’s relay signals the gate operator’s input for 20 seconds.
Residents open the gate themselves with a remote. The receiver knows each remote individually, so a lost one is deleted without touching the others.

The installation’s devices and their equivalents today
The models used in the project, with their equivalents in the current range.
SPA-1000/PR
Tablica Synoptyczna software on the security room computer — today’s version of the software used in this project: shows which house the alarm came from and keeps an event archive.
Quantity: 1
NRP-102
Transmitter at the house’s alarm panel, powered from its 12 V DC output: it starts transmitting when the panel applies voltage. Range up to 1,000 m with a receiver fitted with an H2 module.
Quantity: 1 per house with a panel
PUK-102
Resident’s 2-button remote — today’s model of the two-button remote used in this project: one button for the entry gate, the other for the exit gate.
Quantity: approx. 400
Installation component
Outdoor light-and-sound signal unit
Outdoor signal unit switched by the receiver’s third-channel relay: the guard on patrol sees and hears that an alarm has come in.
Quantity: 1
OBI-4SH
An option the investor did not choose at the time: a pager for the security guard. The alarm reaches the guard even where the signal unit cannot be seen.
Quantity: optional
Catalogue figures describe a device under stated conditions, usually in open terrain, and are not a guaranteed range in every installation. Device quantities in the examples are indicative.
04 / Value for the investor
What does this solution give you?
One system instead of two
The gates and the alarms are handled by the same receiver and software, whose cost is spread over all the properties; the transmitter at the panel and the remotes are paid for by individual residents.
Security knows which house
The security room sees the house and the time of the alarm on screen, and the archive keeps every event — no searching the estate for the source of the signal.
The alarm reaches the patrol
The outdoor signal unit tells a guard who is not in the security room at that moment that an alarm has occurred somewhere and the house needs to be identified.
05 / Before installation
What needs to be settled for a similar investment?
Before devices are chosen, what matters is the site’s conditions and how the system ties into the final installation.
Requirements to verify
- An output on each house’s alarm panel that applies 12 V DC to the transmitter on alarm — to be agreed with the alarm system installer.
- A range test from the houses farthest from the receiver — the transmitter reaches up to 1,000 m in open terrain with a receiver fitted with an H2 module.
- Number of transmitters in memory: approx. 400 remotes and up to 86 alarm transmitters fit into 1,000 slots, with room left for new residents.
- A computer for the Tablica Synoptyczna software in the security room, and a 9–24 V AC or DC supply for the receiver.
- The outdoor signal unit: a spot visible from the patrol route, its power supply — the receiver’s relay only switches it on — and how long it stays on and who switches it off after an alarm.
