Changing Text Descriptions
Various parameters can have a text description defined. These include loop devices, zones, etc.
The zone and device text descriptions will be shown on the display in the Fire Alarm, Fault and
Warning Conditions, etc. to provide a quick and clear indication of the source of the problem.
To change the text description, first highlight the text description within the appropriate programming
option and then press the
button. The display then changes to show the text entry dialogue
screen. For example:
>
R
ESTAURANT <
KEY IN THE REQUIRED TEXT
The method of entering the characters is similar to the method employed
on mobile telephones. The number buttons provide both their appropriate
number and several letters of the alphabet. An example of the keypad is
shown opposite.
For example, Button 2 allows entry of the number 2 and letters A, B and C.
When a button is pressed, the first character is shown on the display at the current cursor position. If
the button is pressed again within ½ second, the second character replaces the first. A further press
displays the third available character and so on – see table below. After pressing the button to
obtain the required character, wait for 1-second and the character will be entered and the cursor will
move to the next character in the text description.
Pressing another button will immediately enter the previous character and move the cursor on to the
next character.
Use the
buttons to move backwards or forwards along the line. When the text description is as
required, press the
button to confirm the change.
If the text has been entered incorrectly, press the
‘Esc’
button to cancel all changes and return to
the previous display.
The following table shows the numbers, characters and symbols assigned to each button on the
keypad.
