Programming Conventions 

 

Programming is accomplished by answering a series of prompts.  

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 

prompts without changing any values.   

 

Press the [ESC] key to go to the end of the list of prompts. 

Using the Control Panel 

Some control panels support programming of the communications module 

through the control panel programming mode.  If using this method of 
programming, only the ECP Mode programming options are available.  Other 

"mode" prompts will not be displayed, and the mode cannot be changed.  For 

a description of key functions on the control panel keypad, and how they map 
to the 7720P programming tool, refer to the control panel's 

Programming 

Guide

Programming for ECP Mode 

ECP mode enables the control panel to communicate with the module via the 
ECP bus.  Control panels that support this bus and have the LRR (Long 

Range Radio) enabled, send Contact ID format alarms to the module over the 

ECP bus.  Not all control panels support the LRR interface on ECP, so be 
sure to check the control panel's 

Installation and Setup Guide

 to see if it 

supports this feature. 

ULC 

Only ECP Mode has been approved for ULC installations. 

 

Press the [ENTER] key to begin programming.
