Events logging
‘History’ events are ‘date’ stamped. The control panel time and date are synchronized to the
remote computer when connection is made (as well as when the control panel status is changed by
remote PC command).
The control panel date can also be locally set, using the keypad by the hold-down
‘0’+’2’+ddmmyy (‘0’ and ‘2’ mean ‘hold down’ keys 0 and 2).
Instruct the control panel user to update the system time and date after a total power loss (‘h’ is
repeatedly displayed at the keypad).
The EasyLoad software designed to support international users, to modify and translate the
LANGUAGE.TXT, LANGPROG.TXT, LNGPRG16.TXT, and HELPPROG.TXT files use an
ASCII editor. You can translate captions in these files to other languages.
In the DEF2016.TPL, DEF2016.TPL and DEF2016A.TPL files, some captions can be translated
(be careful with these files!).
Caution!
Make sure to backup the files before altering them. See
details in the files themselves.
Local Up and Download via PC
When using the AV-232 interface (special RS-232 cable and interface connecting the PC to the
2016 control panels) you must set panel to programming mode.
In programming mode (‘P’ is displayed), type 77 at address 200 (i.e. type 20077) before
attempting to establish connection. When using the AV-232 interface, the transfer rate is eight
times faster than through the modem. With local PC, use the same procedures as describe below.
Copying the Programming Table
To cut down the time spent on programming several accounts with practically the same data
(communicator parameters, communicator codes, central station telephone numbers, etc.) you
may create a few ‘master’ accounts. For each control panel model you intend to use, create a
‘master’ account containing the relevant programmable data. This ‘master’ account is in no way
different from a regular account. Choose an account number that is easy to remember and enter a
short description instead of the ‘client name.’
After creating a new client account, exit to the main menu and choose ‘Copy Programming Table’
(entry 6) option. In this screen, type the number of the ‘master’ account you want to copy.
Confirmation of the copy operation will transfer the whole programming table of the master
account to the currently open client file. You can now make other adjustments by choosing the
‘Modify Programming Table’ (entry 2).
