All code allocations should be recorded, and a User Code 
Programming Chart - Appendix A, is supplied for this purpose. 

 

Remember!

 To prevent unauthorized programming, it is 

important to assign a new master code which should be used 
for programming only. 

To access the programming menu:

 

 

The green LED will start flashing slowly, indicating that the 
programming menu is active. You can now select various 
programming functions by pressing a number key from 1 to 5 
(see Table 1).

Note 1: If the system detects an error during programming, the green 
LED goes out for 3 seconds after [#] is pressed and then reverts to 
slow flashing. This indicates that the data has not been accepted and 
the entire programming sequence should be repeated.  
Note 2: If you make an error while programming, press [

Í

] for quick 

return to the programming menu. 

 

5.2 Deleting all User Codes 

Note: Besides the default master code (code No. 1), a specific code is 
programmed in the factory as code No. 2. It is therefore important to delete 
all codes before placing the system into service! 

 

The response will be as follows: 
After entering 

[4]

 – the green LED starts to flash rapidly

 

After entering 

[

ÍÍ

]

 

followed by 

[#]

  – the green LED lights for 2 

seconds, and resumes rapid flashing. 
After entering the 

[master code] 

followed by

 [#] 

– the LED 

remains lit for 2 seconds and then reverts to slow flashing.

 

 

5.3 Programming New User Codes and Their Extent  
of Control 

Prepare a list of user codes you want to program and record 
them in your 

Programming Chart 

(see Appendix A).  

A. 

 

The user number is the number assigned to this user on the user 
list, not the code.

 

The green LED lights for 2 seconds and starts to flash rapidly

 

B.

 

 

then repeat 

 

to verify 

The user code is any combination of numbers, up to 8 digits. 

The green LED lights for 2 seconds and resumes rapid flashing 

C. 

  

Select a trip code from the list below to determine which 
outputs will be tripped by the new user code. 

 

1

 

to trip the relay only 

to trip the auxiliary output only 

to trip both the relay and the auxiliary output 

The green LED lights steadily for 2 seconds and then flashes 
slowly, indicating that the data has been saved and that you are 
back in the programming menu. To program additional user 
codes, follow the sequence A through C above, or quit by

 

Caution! Code No. 01 will now become the master code, 
and will provide the only access to future programming. 

 

5.4 Deleting Selected User Codes 

 

The response will be as follows: 
After entering

 [ 4 ]

 – the green LED starts to flash rapidly 

After entering 

[user number]

 

followed by 

[

 

# ]

 – the green LED 

lights steadily for 2 seconds, then resumes rapid flashing. 
After entering the 

[master code] 

followed by

 [ # ] 

– the green 

LED remains lit for 2 seconds and then begins flashing slowly.

 

 

5.5 Setting the Relay Timer 

 

[ TT ] 

is the relay pull-in time 

To set duration from 1 to 98 seconds, enter a number from 

01

 to 

98.

 

To convert the relay to toggle mode (latch/unlatch), enter 

99

.  

 

5.6 Selecting the AUX Output Mode 

 

[M] is a number selected from the mode column in Table 2 below.  

Note: User codes must be authorized to activate the auxiliary 
output. 

 

Table 2. Auxiliary Output Operating Modes

 

Mode Description 

Output is pulsed for 1 second by every user code authorized to 
operate the auxiliary output. 

Output is toggled (latch/unlatch) by every user code authorized 
to operate the auxiliary output. 

Output operates concurrently with the relay timer, but stays 
enabled 5 seconds longer than the relay (operation time: TT+5 
seconds). If the toggle mode has been selected for the relay 
(TT= 99), the auxiliary output will be turned on for 5 seconds 
each time the relay is toggled.

 This mode does not work for 

user codes that are not programmed to operate the relay.

 

Latches by user codes authorized to trip the auxiliary output, 
unlatches by pressing 

Í

Turned on for ten seconds by pressing any key. 

Output oscillates at the rate of 1 Hz after 3 consecutive code 
errors. This condition will persist for 10 minutes, and may be 
reset only by entering a valid user code (resetting is possible 
only after the first 30 seconds, during which the keypad will be 
locked out as a result of the 3 code errors). 

Output turned on by pressing 1 and 3 simultaneously. Remains 
on while either key is kept pressed. 

 

 

5.7 Deleting the Ambush Digit 

 

If you do not intend to use an 

ambush digit

, it is imperative that 

you delete the ambush digit code – to ensure that no previously 
programmed digit remains in memory.

 

 

5.8 Selecting an Ambush Digit 

 

[ A ] 

is the desired ambush digit, chosen from 

to 

9

 

IMPORTANT: 

If you have programmed an ambush digit, you 

must restrict user codes to seven digits each (or less) and you 
must avoid choosing user codes ending with that same digit as 
the ambush one.

 

 

5.9 How to Quit Programming 

 while the green LED is flashing slowly  

The green LED will extinguish.
