Advent Commercial Fire System
Using the Downloader Software to
Program the Panel
With a personal computer, modem, phone cables, and ITI
Advent Downloader software, you can quickly and effi-
ciently download previously selected programming to the
panel via a phone line connection. You can also upload
panel programming to the software for your records or for
“copying” to another similar installation.
For details on using the downloader software, refer to the
Advent Downloader User’s Manual shipped with the soft-
ware.
For detailed instructions on preparing the panel for down-
loading, refer to “Remote Downloader Programming” on
page 50.
Note
Not investigated by UL for use with Advent
Commercial Fire panel (60-562-03 and 60-562-06).
