PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL UNIT
KEYPAD PROGRAMMING
Customized programming of the control unit may be accomplished through the keypad in the
control unit. See the Faraday MPC-6000 / MPC-7000 / RND-2 Programmer’s Manual, P/N
315-049403FA, for detailed information of system programming.
PC PROGRAMMING
Programming the panel may also be done by a temporary connection to the programming port
with a computer. This is the recommended method to program the panel.
The Faraday CIS-4 software is available to allow programming the control unit by connection
to a Personal Computer (PC) with an EIA-232 serial port. This allows ease of operation by
preparing the program in advance and downloading to the control unit in a simple, rapid
operation.
Uploading or downloading of a configuration requires technician level. The control unit
automatically verifies a downloaded configuration for regulatory and system restriction
compliance. After verifying the new configuration, a comparison of the new and old
configurations may be printed. Switchover to the new configuration requires confirmation at the
control unit. See the Faraday online help for detailed information of system programming.
PROGRAMMING SECURITY
The following levels of security protect the system from unauthorized use:
•
User – Locked Door
•
Maintenance – Locked Door and 4-digit Maint. Password
•
Technician – Locked Door and 6-digit Tech Password
The User and Maintenance Levels are also accessible from the Remote LCD Annunciators.
