Section 6: Programming
Keypad types
The sections below describe how programming is viewed and interpreted using the supported keypad types. For more information,
see the instruction sheet included with the keypad.
LCD keypad
LCD keypads use a full-message display that provides visual and numerical navigation through the programming sections. The
Armed light illuminates when Installer Programming mode is activated. Use the scroll keys to move through menu options and press
[*] to select. Alternatively, enter a specific section number. The Armed light flashes to indicate a sub-section has been selected. Press
[*] to select a sub-section. The Ready light illuminates and the information programmed in the section is displayed.
For programming sections with toggle options, press the corresponding number on the keypad to turn the option on or off. The display
changes accordingly.
Sections requiring data input, such as phone numbers, display the full data in fields up to 32 characters long.
To input data, use the scroll keys to select a character then press the keypad button corresponding to the number/letter required.
Scroll to the next character and repeat the procedure as needed.
For information on entering HEX data, see below.
Press the [#] key to exit the program section at any time. All changes made up to that point are saved.
Programming hex and decimal data
Hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required during programming. To program a HEX digit, press the [*] key while in a programming
section that requires a data entry. HEX programming mode activates and the Ready light begins to flash.
The following table indicates which number should be pressed to enter the corresponding HEX digit:

HEX [A]
Press [*][1][*]

HEX [B]
Press [*][2][*]
Simulated [*] key
HEX [C]
Press [*][3][*]
Simulated [#] key
HEX [D]
Press [*][4][*]
Dial tone search
HEX [E]
Press [*][5][*]
Two-second pause
HEX [F]
Press [*][6][*]
End of number
The Ready light continues to flash after the HEX digit is entered. If another HEX digit is required press the corresponding number. If a
decimal digit is required, press the [*] key again. The Ready light illuminates and the panel returns to regular decimal programming.
Example: To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, enter [*] [3] [*], [1]
[*] to enter hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[3] to enter C
[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is on)
[1] to enter digit 1
If an error is made while inputting data, press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section again and re-enter the information
correctly.
When using a Contact ID format, a decimal zero [0] does not transmit for account and reporting codes. Programming a zero [0] tells
the alarm system not to send any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To make a zero [0] transmit, it must be
programmed as a Hexadecimal ‘A.’
Example: For the 4-digit account number ‘4032’, enter [4] [*] [1] [*] [3], [2].
[4] to enter the digit 4
[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[1] to enter A
[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)
[3] to enter the digit 3
[2] to enter the digit 2
