Programming Overview
This section of the manual is intended to give you an overview of the programming process. Please read this
section of the manual carefully, especially if you are programming the control panel for the first time.
The JumpStart
®
AutoProgramming feature automates many programming tasks and selects default options for
the system. You should run JumpStart
®
at least once when you are installing the system. See Section 8.1 for
details. After you run JumpStart, you may need to do some additional programming depending on your
installation. Section 9 of this manual covers manual programmable options in detail.
Programming the panel can be thought of as a three part process. You must program:
•
System options. These are options that affect general operation of the panel (see Section 9.6 for details).
•
Options for input points and zones. These are primarily options that control the detection behavior of
devices (see Section 9.5 for details).
•
Options for output points and groups. This includes selecting characteristics for output groups and mapping
output circuits to output groups (see Section 9.4 for details).

JumpStart

Autoprogramming
The JumpStart
®
AutoProgramming feature allows for faster system setup. When you run JumpStart
®
AutoProgramming, the panel searches for expanders and SLC devices not currently in the system. The new
devices are added in their default configuration. At the end of the JumpStart
you can choose to not accept the new
devices and go back to the configuration you had before. JumpStart saves the installer from having to program
options for each device. Depending on the application, the installer may need to make some changes after
JumpStart
®
completes.
See Section 8.1.3 for complete details about running JumpStart AutoProgramming.
8.1.1
Input Points
The first JumpStart
®
on the panel in default configuration will determine the number and type of input points
(detectors or contact monitor modules) on each SLC loop. JumpStart AutoProgramming assigns the correct
detector type (heat, ionization or photoelectric), so the installer does not need to edit the device type for
detectors. Any contact monitor modules on the system will be assigned type “Manual Pull.” The installer will
need to manually change the switch type if manual pull is not correct.
The first JumpStart
®
AutoProgramming creates one zone (Zone 1) and assigns all input points to Zone 1. Zone 1
is mapped to Output Group 1.
8.1.2
Output Points
The 6820 JumpStart
®
creates three output groups. The 6820/EVS with amplifiers will create four output groups.
The output circuits are assigned as follows:
Circuits 1-6:
Configured as Notification and assigned to Group 1. JumpStart
®
AutoProgramming automatically programs
Zone 1 to activate Group 1 using constant on output when an alarm condition occurs.
Circuit 7 (Relay 1):
Assigned to Group 998. JumpStart
®
automatically programs Zone 1 to activate Group 998 using constant on
output when a supervisory condition occurs.
