Section 3: Programming the Communicator
3-3
Programming Conventions
Programming is accomplished by answering a series of prompts (questions). Most prompts
require only a [Y]es or [N]o response, while others require a numerical response (ID
numbers, etc.).
The current value is displayed on the second line in parentheses ( ). A "?" indicates an
invalid entry.
Use the [ENTER] key to accept the current entry and proceed to the next prompt. If the
entered value is invalid, pressing [ENTER] re-displays the prompt; the next prompt is not
displayed until a valid answer is entered.
Use the up/down arrow keys to scroll through the programming questions without changing
any values. Press the [ESC] key to go to the end of the list of questions.
ECP Mode Programming
The communicator supports ECP messaging to communicate with the control panel.
Likewise the control panel sends Contact ID format alarms to the communicator via the ECP
bus. Not all control panels support the communicator interface on ECP, so be sure to check
the Installation and Setup Guide of the control panel to see if it supports this feature.
ULC
Only ECP Mode has been approved for ULC installations.
Refer to Table 3-2 for ECP Mode programming and follow the prompts.
Press the [ENTER] key to begin programming.
NOTE: The central station can remotely block access to local device
programming. If this has been done, the following prompt appears:
Access to Prog
Mode Denied
NOTE: The default programming values for ECP mode are listed in the prompts below.
