Panel Programming Keys
You can program the SYSTEM 238 from the LED or Alpha keypad,
or remotely using the COMMANDER II software. Remote program-
ming information can be found in the COMMANDER II/MONITOR
II Operating Manual. This manual contains a brief description of
each programming option beginning on page 8.
PROGRAMMING THE PANEL
All panel wiring for the SYSTEM 238 should be completed prior to
applying power. You can only access the programming mode
when the control panel is disarmed.
NOTE: Command Location A0 must be addressed directly.
When programming this Command Location with an
Alpha keypad, the previously stored data is not dis-
played. To program this location, enter the Command
Location followed by the [#] key. Then enter the data
to be stored and again press the [#] key.
Warning: If you enter a Command Location and then press
the [#] key without entering any program data, the
keypad will beep 5 times, indicating an error. To
correct this problem, simply re-enter the Com-
mand Location and Data, then press the [#] key.
Programming with the LED Keypad
Programming with an LED keypad is a one-step process. Key in the
two-digit address (Command Location), followed immediately by
the desired programming values (program data), then press the [#]
key to store the data. The LED keypad does not display any
programmed values. If you are not sure that the correct program-
ming values have been entered, program the Command Location
again.
To Start Keypad Programming
Key in the [Installer Combination] [*] [0] [#]. The default Installer
Combination is 0 1 2 3 4 5. The programming mode is indicated by
the Program LED being lit on the LED keypad or CMD DATA being
displayed across the top row of the LCD display for the Alpha
keypad.
Programming with the Alpha Keypad
Entering program data with an Alpha keypad is a two-step process.
First, key in the two-digit address (Command Location) to be
programmed and press the [#] key. The Alpha keypad displays the
Command Location and the data previously stored. Enter the new
data you wish to store and press the [#] key to write the data. You
Programming Hexadecimal Numbers
The Alpha keypad may be used to program the control panel. The
cursor is moved using the "E" and "P" keys, as indicated in the
figure below. The "F" key enters a blank space and moves the
cursor one position to the right.
NOTE: To program Command Location A0 with an LED
keypad, remember to enter the Command Location,
followed by the program data, then press the [#] key.
The same procedure is used with both the LED and the Alpha keypads.
The last two Command Locations are CL 37 and CL A0. Pressing
the [#] key at these locations will advance you to CL 38 or CL A1,
respectively. Locations CL 38 and CL A1 are not used in the
SYSTEM 238. If you accidentally enter either of these locations,
press [*] [#] to exit programming, or enter the Command Location
number, followed by the [#] key, for the location you wish to
program.
