Alpha Descriptors Programming
General Information
•
A user-friendly English language description/location for all protection zones, Outputs, keypad panics, polling loop short,
and RF receiver supervision troubles can be programmed.
•
Each description can be composed of a combination of words (up to 3) that are selected from a vocabulary of 244 words
stored in memory, and any word can have an s or 's added to it.
NOTE: Due to the use of 3-digit zone numbers, the first word of the descriptor is limited to 6 characters if you want it to fit
on the top line of the display.
•
In addition, up to 60 installer-defined words can be added to those already in memory. Thus, when an alarm or trouble
occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for the location of that zone will be displayed at the keypad.
•
A custom Installer's Message can be programmed for each partition, which will be displayed when the system is ready
(e.g., THE PETERSONS).

Zone Descriptors

The keypad keys perform the following functions:
[3] Scrolls both alphabet and actual words in ascending alphabetical order.
[1] Scrolls both alphabet and actual words in descending alphabetical order.
[2] Adds or removes an
s or 's to a vocabulary word.
[6] Switches between alphabet and actual word list; used to accept entries.
[8] Saves the zone description in the system's memory.
[#] [#] plus zone number displays the description for that zone.
2.
Enter the zone number to which you want to assign a descriptor.
For example, key [
✱
]001 to begin entering the description for zone 1 (key [
✱
]002 for Zone 2, [
✱
]003 for Zone 3, etc.).
The following will be displayed:
✱
ZN 001 A.
Note that the first letter of the alphabet appears after the zone number, and that the zone number is automatically
included with the description.
3.
Enter the descriptor for that zone.
Use one of the following two methods:
(Assume, for example, that the desired description for zone 1 is BACK DOOR.)
a) Press
[#] followed by the 3-digit number of the first word from the fixed dictionary shown later in this section (e.g.,
[013] for BACK).
Press 6 in order to accept the word and proceed, or press 8 to store the complete descriptor and exit;
or
b) Select the first letter of the desired description (note that A is already displayed). Use the 3 key to advance through
the alphabet and the 1 key to go backward.
Press 3 key repeatedly until B appears (press 1 to go backwards if the letter was passed), then press 6 to display
the first available word beginning with B.
Press 3 repeatedly to advance through the available words until the word BACK is displayed.
