Initial power-up procedure
WARNING:
During initial power-up, keypad sounders, internal loudspeakers and wired
sirens may give an alarm tone. If you are working at the top of a ladder, make sure that the
sudden noise does not startle you and cause a fall.
Note:
The following assumes that all wiring is complete, the control unit has not been
previously configured and that all keypads have a "null" address (no address
previously allocated). If required, please refer to page 24 for details of how to reset
the system.
The section titled "About the user interface" (above) gives information about how to
select menu options.
To configure the system for the first time:
1.
Connect the control unit's battery.
2.
Close the lid of the control unit if there is no need to keep it open.
3.
Switch on the mains supply.
Note:
Ordinarily, the control unit starts only after the mains supply is switched on,
even if a battery is connected. If you want to operate the control unit temporarily
using only the battery (or a 12VDC supply), start it by briefly shorting the kick-start
link on the PCB.
4.
Wait until you see:
This message indicates that the keypad has a "null" address.
5.
Go to the keypad you want to use for initial configuration. Obtain an address for this
keypad by pressing and holding A and
keys simultaneously
for at least three
seconds
until you hear a sound. The display shows the address allocated by the
control unit, such as “b1-d51”(bus 1, device 51).
The address is now stored in the keypad.
6.
Follow this step if you see the following (EU systems only):
a)
Select the language you want to use. From this point on, the display operates in
the selected language. If you want to change the language later, use
Installer
menu
– System Options – Language
.
b)
Select the country:
7.
Press A or B to select either a partitioned system or a part-setting system (page 4):
