SYSTEM  CONFIGURATION & OPERATION

The NAPCO Digital Communicator is configured by connecting the 

FW-PCTOOL Configuration Tool

 to P4 of the FW-

DACT Main Board. Once connected, if no text appears immediately on the LCD screen, hit any key on the numeric
keypad.

The  DACT supports three levels of restricted access to the 

Configuration Mode

 which allows for parameter

configuration and control of operation. Each level is associated with a separate 

Passcode

 (up to 8-digit numeric code)

and may be individually modified. Once a user gains access to the Configuration Mode, they are presented with a menu
of selections according to the level of access granted. The 

factory default

 Passcodes are:

Level I

- OPERATOR   

“11111111” 

Level II

- INSTALLER 

“22222222”  

 

Restore-to-Factory-Defaults

 can be initiated from the FW-PCTOOL 

without having to first access program mode,

by using the special Passcode ...

Restore-to-Factory-Defaults

“12345678”

be delayed by this value, and then only sent after the period has
expired with the signal still present. A “restoral” event of this
signal will be reported immediately, but only if a prior “off-normal”
event was successfully reported earlier.
