Introduction
This document is a Technical Specification for hold-up devices which can be used as part of intrusion
and hold-up alarm systems installed in buildings. It includes four security grades and four
environmental classes.
The purpose of a hold-up device is to allow a person to deliberately generate hold-up alarm signals or
messages and a further necessary range of signals or messages to be used by the rest of the
intrusion and hold-up alarm system.
The number and scope of these signals or messages will be more comprehensive for systems that are
specified at the higher grades.
This Technical Specification is only concerned with the requirements and tests for the hold-up device.

1 Scope
This Technical Specification is for dedicated hold-up devices in buildings, e.g. deliberately operated
hold-up devices which can be triggered to create a hold-up alarm signal or message. It provides four
security Grades 1-4 (see EN 50131-1), specific or non specific wired or wire-free hold-up devices and
uses Environmental Classes I-IV (see EN 50130-5).
This Technical Specification does not include requirements for hold-up devices intended for use
outdoors, or for mobile hold-up devices or for devices with functions additional to hold-up facility.
NOTE If a device provides functions additional to hold-up facility, it is recommended to function similar to the requirement
described in this Technical Specification.
Functions additional to the mandatory functions as specified in this Technical Specification may be
included in the hold-up device, providing they do not adversely influence the correct operation of the
mandatory functions.
This Technical Specification does not apply to system interconnections.

which shall be tested towards the requirements according to the test methods described in Clause 6:
– hand operated hold-up devices (intended to be triggered by hand);
– kick / tilt & Long bar – Hold-up device (intended to be triggered via foot, knee);
– money clip contact – Hold-up device (intended to be triggered when a banknote is withdrawn).
4.2 Event processing

When, in Table 1, an event may optionally generate signals or messages, they shall be
as shown in this table.
This permits two methods of signalling a masking event: either by the tamper signal
and fault signal, or by a dedicated masking signal or message. Use of the tamper
signal and fault signal is preferable, as this requires fewer connections between CIE
and hold-up device. If multiple events overlap there will be some signal combinations
that may be ambiguous. To overcome this ambiguity it is suggested that hold-up
devices should not signal ‘tamper‘ and ‘fault‘ at the same time except to indicate
masking. This implies that the hold-up device should prioritise signals, e.g. 1 Tamper, 2
Fault, 3 Masking.
It is accepted that a bus system, a bus-based device may send out dedicated signals
or messages and does not necessarily have to follow the mapping of Table 2 provided
that all of the required events are communicated.
a An independent signal or message may be provided instead.
b Alternatively Total loss of Power Supply shall be determined by loss of communication with the hold-up
device.
4.3 Hold-up triggering
4.3.1 Trigger operation
4.3.1.1 General
A hold-up trigger shall be generated when the hold-up device specific trigger mechanism is activated.
Hold-up devices shall include means to minimise the possibility of accidental triggering and fulfil the
device specific individual conditions according to the following subclauses.
The requirements, operation and responses of latching and non-latching devices are different.
All relevant trigger activations shall be tested according to the device type as required by the
corresponding test in Clause 6.

- 11 - CLC/TS 50131-11:2012
In case of multi-action devices, each individual trigger operation shall be tested separately and apply
to each corresponding test subclause in Clause 6. Furthermore, it shall be tested and assured, that
each trigger operation does not adversely affect the other trigger operation(s) unless a certain
sequence is required to generate the expected signals or messages, as described in the
manufacturer's manual.
If additional trigger activation methods to the ones described in this document exist for a specific
product, those shall be documented by the manufacturer in the installation document and user guide
and shall be tested accordingly.
4.3.1.2 Trigger indication
An indicator shall be provided at the device to indicate when a hold-up signal or message has been
generated.
It is permitted that the device can provide a function to disable the trigger indication.
The trigger indication shall be tested to identify triggered hold-up device(s).
The trigger indication shall remain activate on non-latching devices after the first hold-up trigger has
been generated.
Reset of the trigger indication shall be possible only using a suitable tool or mechanism.
4.3.1.3 Reapplied triggering
Following a hold-up trigger, non latching hold-up devices shall be capable of generating a further hold-
up signal or message in response to a trigger within 10s of the previous successful trigger operation.
Non-latching hold-up devices shall allow manual trigger operation within a maximum of 10 s after a
previous trigger operation has been performed successfully.
Latching hold-up devices shall remain in the operated condition after a trigger operation has been
performed successfully and shall require resetting using a suitable tool or mechanism before a further
trigger operation can be performed.
4.3.1.4 Sound level when triggering
When installed and operated according to the manufacturer instructions, the sound level when
triggering shall not be greater than the value given in Table 3 at a distance of 1 m in an anechoic
chamber:
Table 3 — Sound level when triggering by grade
All values are given in dB(A)
Type of hold-up device Grade
1 2 3 4
Hand operated hold-up devices (Type V, W, X, Y & Z) ≤ 60 ≤ 60 ≤ 50 ≤ 30
Kick / tilt & long bar operated devices (Type A, B & C) ≤ 60 ≤ 60 ≤ 60 ≤ 30
Money clip operated devices (Type K & L) ≤ 60 ≤ 60 ≤ 50 ≤ 30

4.4 Hand operated devices
4.4.1 Manual deliberately trigger operation
Hand operated hold-up devices shall only generate a hold-up signal or message through a deliberate
manual operation. Means, methods or techniques shall be used to reduce the risk of accidental
operation of a hand operated hold-up device (e.g. certain minimum force required to press a button or
pull a lever, two buttons pressed simultaneously, flipping of a protective cover to operate a button),
according to this Technical Specification.
The following deliberate versions are known and standardized by this Technical Specification:
— Type V is a one-button hold-up device with a certain operating force for pressing the button;
— Type W is a one-button hold-up device with a removable cover and a certain operating force
for pressing the button;
— Type X is a two-button hold-up device, whereas both buttons need to be pressed with
individual operating forces to create a total operating force level;
— Type Y is a strip hold-up device with a certain operating force for pressing the strip;
— Type Z is a lever hold-up device with a certain operating force for pulling the lever.
If one or more operating member(s) of the hold-up device needs to be pressed, these should be flush
with or recessed in respect to the surrounding surfaces and should not be less than 15 mm in its
shortest diameter.
4.4.2 Operating forces
The type dependent operating forces shall apply according to Table 4:
Table 4 — Operating force for hand operated hold-up devices
Type of hold-up device
V W X Y Z
Minimum total operating force 5 N 4 N 4 N 5 N 5 N
Maximum total operating force 8 N 8 N 8 N 8 N 8 N
Maximum resetting threshold
a 3 N 3 N 3 N 3 N 3 N
when operating force is removed
a
This only applies for non-latching devices to restore the operating member(s) to the non-activated

position.
The operating forces shall be measured at the operating part or member(s) (e.g. buttons, lever or
strip). For hold-up devices of type X and Y, the total operating force shall correspond to the sum of the
operating forces on each individual operating member, which are required to create a hold-up trigger.
For non-latching devices, the device and its activated operating member(s) (e.g. button(s) or lever(s))
shall reset to the non-activated position when the applied operating force falls below the resetting
threshold given in Table 4.
- 13 - CLC/TS 50131-11:2012
4.4.3 Operating angle for type Z devices
If a type Z device operates on the principle of a pivoted lever, the performance requirements of this
subclause apply in addition to the requirements of 4.2.1.1.2.
To ensure a reliable, correct and usable operation type Z hold-up devices shall comply with the values
specified in Table 5. The manufacturer shall specify and describe the activation angle of the lever
hold-up device.
Table 5 — Minimum performance requirements for
hand operated lever hold-up devices
Angle
Minimum activation operating angle 20°
Maximum activation operating angle 45°

The minimum activation operating angle defines the maximum angle reached by pulling or lifting the
lever before which the device should not generate a hold-up trigger.
The maximum activation operating angle defines the maximum angle reached by pulling or lifting the
lever before which the device shall generate a hold-up trigger.
4.5 Kick / tilt & long bar operated devices
4.5.1 Manual deliberately trigger operation
Kick / tilt & long bar operated hold-up devices shall only generate a hold-up signal or message through
a deliberate manual operation. Means, methods or techniques shall be used to reduce the risk of
accidental operation of a Kick / Tilt or Long bar operated hold-up device (e.g. certain minimum force
required to press the bar), in accordance with this Technical Specification.
The following deliberate versions are known and standardised by this Technical Specification:
– Type A is operated by pressing down one or more operating member(s) with a certain operating
force, e.g. typically floor mounted and activated by foot;
– Type B is a foot operated device which is operated by lifting up one or more operating member(s)
with a certain operating force. The operating member(s) of that device should be at a distance
between 7 cm and 15 cm from the mounting surface in a condition when the hold-up device is
mounted according to the installation instructions of the manufacturer;
– Type C is a non-foot operated device which is operated by pressing one or more operating
member(s) with a certain operating force, e.g. typically mounted under the desk plate or mounted
vertically and activated by leg or knee.
4.5.2 Operating forces
The type dependent operating forces shall apply according to Table 6:

Table 6 — Operating force for kick / tilt & long bar operated hold-up devices
Type of kick / tilt or long bar
operated hold-up device
A B & C
Minimum total operating force 20 N 5 N
Maximum total operating force 30 N 8 N

force is removed
a
This only applies for non-latching devices to restore the operating parts to the non-activated
position.
The operating forces shall be measured at each operating member(s) (e.g. bar).
If resetting applies to the device and after activation the operating force decreases below the value
listed in the above table, the device shall reset the activated operating part (e.g. bar) in its non-
activated position.
4.6 Money clip operated devices
4.6.1 General
For this type of hold-up detector non-latching devices are not allowed.
4.6.2 Manual deliberately trigger operation
Money clip operated hold-up devices shall only generate a hold-up trigger through a deliberate manual
operation. Means, methods or techniques shall be used to reduce the risk of accidental operation of a
Money clip operated hold-up device (e.g. certain minimum force required to remove one or more
banknotes, clear discrimination between money clip hold-up banknotes and usable banknotes), in
accordance with this Technical Specification.
The following versions are known and standardized by this Technical Specification:
• Type K money clip hold-up device with a certain operating force for removing one or more
clamped banknotes (e.g. typically installed in the same compartment where usable banknotes
reside).
For this type of money clip operated hold-up device(s) the minimum force to withdraw one or
more banknotes clamped by the device and the maximum force allowed to hold the clamped
banknote(s) should be in the range as specified in Table 7, to allow the user to clearly distinguish
between the usable banknotes and the hold-up device related banknotes.
• Type L money clip hold-up device to be installed in a separate area (e.g. typically installed in a
separate compartment close to the compartment where the usable banknotes reside).
For this type of money clip operated hold-up device the installation manual shall state clearly that
it should be installed in a separate area or compartment from the usable banknotes, so that the
user only draws money deliberately to operate the hold-up device. Furthermore, the minimum
force to withdraw one or more banknotes clamped by this device and the maximum force allowed
to hold the clamped banknote(s) should be in the range as specified in Table 7.
4.6.3 Operating forces
The type dependent operating forces shall apply according to Table 7.

Minimum total operating force 10 N 5 N
Maximum total operating force 15 N 15 N

The operating forces shall be measured according to the corresponding test subclause in Clause 6.
4.7 Operational requirements
4.7.1 Time interval between hold-up trigger signals or messages
Non-latching hold-up devices shall be able to generate a hold-up trigger signal or message not more
than 10 s after the end of the preceding hold-up signal or message.
4.7.2 Switch on delay
The hold-up device shall meet all functional requirements within 180 s of the power supply reaching its
nominal voltage as specified by the manufacturer.
4.7.3 Self tests
4.7.3.1 Local self test
The hold-up device shall automatically test itself at least once every 24 h according to the
requirements of Tables 1 and 2. If normal operation of the hold-up device is inhibited during a local
self-test, the hold-up device inhibition time shall be limited to a maximum of 30 s in any period of 2 h.
4.7.3.2 Remote self test
A hold-up device shall process remote self tests and generate signals or messages in accordance with
Tables 1 and 2 within 10 s of the remote self test signal being received, and shall return to normal
operation within 30 s of the remote test signal being received.

4.8 Tamper security
4.8.1 Tamper security requirements
Tamper security requirements for each grade of hold-up device are shown in Table 8.

4.8.2 Resistance to and detection of unauthorized access to components and means of
adjustment
All components, means of adjustment and access to mounting screws, which, when interfered with,
could adversely affect the operation of the hold-up device, shall be located within the hold-up device
housing. Such access shall require the use of an appropriate tool and depending on the grade as
specified in Table 8 shall generate a tamper signal or message before access can be gained without
causing visible damage.
4.8.3 Detection of removal from the mounting surface
A tamper signal or message shall be generated if the hold-up device is removed from its mounting
surface, in accordance with Tables 1 and 8, whereas the following conditions apply:
– mandatory for wire-free at grades 2, 3 and 4;
– mandatory for all surface mounted grade 4 types;
– optional for wired surface mounted grades 1, 2 and 3;
– optional for wired flush mounted types grade 1 to 4.
4.8.4 Immunity to magnetic field interference
It shall not be possible to inhibit any signals or messages with a magnet of grade dependence
according to Table 8. The magnet types shall be as described in Annex A.
These requirements only apply if the technology used for communications is sensitive to magnetic
fields for each of the hold-up triggering, tamper or fault outputs.
EXAMPLE If the communication technology is based on a mechanical relay which is sensitive to magnetic fields.

- 17 - CLC/TS 50131-11:2012
4.8.5 Detection of masking
Means shall be provided to detect inhibition of the operation of the hold-up device by magnetic
interference masking according to the requirements of Table 8.
In case of immunity due to the underlying technology, a masking detection and the corresponding
output capabilities are not required.
EXAMPLE If the activation technology is based on a reed switch which is sensitive to magnetic fields, these masking
requirements apply.
The maximum response time for the masking detection device shall be 180 s. Masking shall be
signalled according to the requirements of Table 2. The signals or messages shall remain for at least
as long as the masking condition is present. A masking signal or message shall not be reset while the
masking condition is still present. Alternatively, the masking signal or message shall be generated
again within 180 s of being reset if the masking condition is still present.
NOTE From a system design point of view it would be preferable for masked hold-up devices to reset automatically after the
masking condition is removed.
4.9 Electrical requirements
4.9.1 General
The grade dependencies appear in Table 9. These requirements apply only to powered hold-up
devices and do not apply to purely electromechanical hold-up devices ot hold-up devices having Type
C power supplies. For these hold-up devices refer to EN 50131-6.

6 Testing
6.1 General
The tests are intended to be primarily concerned with verifying the correct operation of the hold-up
device in accordance with the requirements of this document and to the specification provided by the
manufacturer. All the test parameters specified shall carry a general tolerance of ± 10 % unless
otherwise stated. A list of tests appears as a general test matrix in Annex B.
6.2 General test conditions
6.2.1 Standard conditions for testing
The general atmospheric conditions in the measurement and tests laboratory shall be those specified
in EN 60068-1:1994, 5.3.1, unless stated otherwise.
Temperature 15 °C to 35 °C
Relative humidity 25 % RH to 75 % RH
Air pressure 86 kPa to 106 kPa
6.2.2 General operating test environment and procedures
Manufacturer’s documented instructions regarding mounting and operation shall be read and applied
to all tests unless otherwise noted.
6.2.3 Test procedures
The hold-up trigger and, where appropriate, tamper, fault and any other signal or message outputs
shall be monitored.
The hold-up device shall be connected to the nominal supply voltage, and connected to equipment
with a means of monitoring hold-up signals or messages. The hold-up device shall be allowed to
stabilise for 180 s.
6.2.4 Basic activation test (BAT)
The purpose of the basic activation test is to verify that a hold-up device is still operational after a test
or tests has/have been carried out. The basic activation test verifies only the functional performance of
a hold-up device. The basic activation test is performed according the required activation process
described in the manufacturer's instruction manual.
6.2.5 Trigger indication
The hold-up device shall be installed according to the manufacturer's installation instructions, whereas
the test shall be performed under normal circumstances (e.g. daylight).
If the hold-up device provides means to enable or disable the trigger indication, the trigger indicator
should be enabled.
A basic activation test should be performed.

Pass/Fail Criteria: It shall be possible to identify that the hold-up device had been triggered.
The hold-up device shall be reset according to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
Pass/Fail Criteria: Certain means (e.g. key) shall be required to reset the trigger indication, in case the
reset of the trigger indication can be performed remotely, the reset shall be in accordance with the
access levels defined in EN 50131-1.
6.2.6 Reapplied triggering
The hold-up device shall be installed according to the manufacturer's installation instructions.
For non-latching hold-up devices, the BAT shall be performed twice within a time frame of 10 s. The
output of the device shall be monitored.
Pass/Fail Criteria: Two independent hold-up signals or messages shall be generated.
For latching hold-up devices, the BAT shall be performed twice. The output of the device shall be
monitored.
Pass/Fail Criteria: Only one hold-up signal or message shall be generated. Alternatively, it is allowed
to prohibit a second BAT by the device until it has been reset. The device shall remain in operated
condition unti
