There are 3 methods of programming the 7835C: (1) Using a 7720P Programming Tool; (2) using an ECP
capable control panel that supports long range radio programming,; (3) using the Programmerless
Registration Option (PRO).
To use the 7720P, connect the 7720P then power-up the radio. Refer to the description below.
To use an ECP capable control, connect the control, then power-up the radio. Select ECP operation by
pressing the tamper switch once while the radio status LEDs are flashing in unison, which toggles the
default configuration from zone mode to ECP mode. The unprogrammed 7835C flashes the radio status
LEDs as follows during initial power-up:
ECP mode = twice per second
Zone mode = once per second
The default device address of the radio is 3. Refer to the control’s instructions for programming procedures.
To use the Programmerless Registration Option, power-up the radio, then contact AlarmNet Technical
Assistance Center (TAC). Refer to the Programmerless Registration Option Installation and Programming
Guide insert.
Using a 7720P Programming Tool
The 7720P Programming Tool is powered by the 7835C via the Programming Jack. The 7835C will
automatically sense the presence of the 7720P when it is plugged in.
Each key of the 7720P has two possible functions: a normal function and a SHIFT function. To perform a
normal key function, simply press the desired key. To perform a SHIFT key function, press the SHIFT key,
then press desired function key.

After connecting the 7720P cable, power up the 7835C . The following will be displayed:
7835C x.xx
(c) Pittway 1999
x.xx = current software revision level NOTE: This document applies to software Rev. 1.23 or higher
At this prompt during initial power-up, you may proceed with programming the 7835C. Programming is
accomplished by answering displayed questions. Most questions require only a [Y]es or [N]o response,
while others require a numerical response (ID numbers, etc.). Press ENTER to accept each response and
proceed to the next question. A "?" indicates an invalid entry. The current value is displayed on the second
line in parentheses ( ). To accept the current entry, simply press the ENTER key. If the current value is an
invalid entry, pressing the enter key will cause the display to repeat the unanswered question; the next
question will not be displayed until a valid answer is entered. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll
through the programming questions without changing any values. The ESC key will bring the list of
questions to the end.
