3. Programming
3.1 General Guidance
This chapter explains the Installer programming (configuration) options of your KP-250 PG2 device and how to
customize its operation to
your particular needs end user requirements.
The alarm system includes a partition feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently controllable
areas with different user codes assigned to each partition. A partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the status
of the other partitions within the system.
The Soak Test feature allows selected zones to be tested for a pre-defined period of time. When in Soak Test mode,
activating a zone does not cause an alarm, and siren and strobe are not activated. The zone activation is recorded in the
event log and is not reported to the Monitoring Station. The zone remains in Soak Test until the pre-defined period of time for
the Soak Test has elapsed without any alarm activation.
The zone then automatically removes itself from Soak Test mode.
Software Upgrade allows you to upgrade the software of the control panel from the remote PowerManage server.
During software upgrade, the PowerMaster display will read "
UPGRADING…
" which is displayed throughout the
software upgrade procedure.
Note:
Software Upgrade cannot be performed when the control panel is armed AWAY, there is an AC failure, one of the
enrolled KPs is not communicating to the panel for some reason, or one of the enrolled KPs is in low battery state.
