8-4 Other Features
These are programming functions that do not fall into any other category.
8-4-1 Active/Installation Mode
An essential function. The system should always be left in ACTIVE mode, unless the system is being installed
and debugged.
When the system is set to Installation Mode the green SYSTEM ON LED on the front panel of the Panel
and Repeaters will flash.
Whilst in Installation Mode the system will automatically detect and record the presence of all connected devices.
To install the system first ensure all detectors, sounders and modules are connected and have power. Next select
Installation Mode using this function, exit programming mode and press SYSTEM RESET.
Once the system has been in Installation Mode for 90 seconds then the system can be put into Active Mode.
Note that there is no clear end to Installation mode because the system is constantly looking and learning. However if the
system is put into Active Mode and Installation Mode hasn’t had time to identify all system components, you will very
quickly be greeted with error reports regarding the presence of unexpected devices.
If devices are ever removed, replaced or added then Installation Mode must be selected so that the system can learn the
new configuration. If you do not do this, the system will report a fault.

The default setting for all programming functions is NONE.
