The following menu commands and options are available in the control panel:
Resetting and rebooting panels
If it becomes necessary to reset an LC Plus panel, it is possible to force a 'normal reboot' (which causes the
panel to reset and start up as it normally would when power is applied), or a 'factory reboot' (which causes
the panel to start up the original factory-programmed firmware). The factory reboot is a fail-safe way to
ensure the panel can be started up if there is a problem with the most recently uploaded firmware. It should
not be required during normal operation.
Normal reboot
: Press all four control panel buttons simultaneously. The display will show
rSet
. Release
the buttons within five seconds. The panel will boot up normally as though power has just been applied.
Factory reboot
: Press and hold all four buttons for 5 seconds or longer. The panel will display
FAct
. When
the buttons are released, the panel display will alternate between
FAct
and
LoAd
a few times to indicate
that the factory firmware is about to be loaded. The panel will then boot the original factory-programmed
firmware.
Note that performing a factory reboot will only cause the panel to boot the factory firmware once. At the next
power cycle (or reset), a normal reboot will be carried out unless all four buttons are held in to force a factory
reboot again.
