gramming and to set up DLS downloading.
Press [899] at the “Enter Section” screen.
See Template Programming below for details.
DLS
programming
Download and apply programming using DLS 5
For local DLS, use a micro USB cable or a Wi-Fi
dongle and laptop with DLS-5 software installed.
For remote DLS, use a telephone line, cellular net-
work or the Internet.
Installer
programming
Manually program all alarm system and device
options.
Press [*][8][installer code] while the system is dis-
armed.
Template programming
Template programming allows the installer to quickly program the minimum functions required for basic operation. The
installer is prompted to enter a 5-digit code that selects predefined programming configurations:
Digit 1 – zone 1-8 definition options
Digit 2 – system EOL options
Digit 3 – alarm controller communications options
Digit 4 – alarm controller call directions
Digit 5 – DLS connection options
(See "Template programming tables" on page 258 for programming information).
Perform template programming after completing the hardware installation. Ensure you have the information listed below
available. Record this information in the programming worksheets for future reference:
l
Monitoring station telephone number - provided by the alarm monitoring service.
l
Monitoring station account code - provided by the alarm monitoring service.
l
Downloading access code.
l
Entry delay - installer defined.
l
Exit delay - installer defined.
l
Installer code - programmable, unique 4-digit code. The default value is [5555].
To perform template programming:
1. Enter [*][8][installer code][899]. If this section has been entered accidentally, press # to exit and the system programming
will not be changed.
2. At the “Enter Data” screen, enter a 5-digit value representing the desired programming options. Reference the template
programming tables to determine what values are required for the installation.
Once the 5-digit number has been entered, the installer cannot exit until all sections are completed. Enter new data
and/or press the [#] key to accept the displayed data and proceed to the next section. Changing a single digit, then
pressing the [#] key advances to the next section but does not save the changed data.
3. After entering a 5-digit template programming value, the first telephone number is displayed. Enter the monitoring station
telephone number after the “D.” Press [#] to complete the entry.
