keypad displays the same alert message again, but will continue to set the system if
the user presses
.
The system omits all zones belonging to the disabled device.
Replace Expander
Use this option if you wish to replace an expander with a new expander, but leave the
expander’s configuration intact in the control unit.
When you use
Replace Expander
, the control unit disables the selected expander, but
retains the expander
’s zones and other settings. You can then power down the system,
disconnect the expander from the bus, and reconnect a new expander (of the same type)
to the bus.
When you power up the control unit again, the keypads will show an alert that the
expander has been disabled. Select
Replace Expander
again, select the
Add
option and
then hold down the address request button on the new expander (with the tamper switch
activated). The control unit will assign the bus device address of the device you removed
to the new device, along with all the zones and other configuration from the old device.
The new device will not need any further configuration.
Note:
If you replace a radio expander, you must teach the identity of the new radio
expander to any receivers (such as 762s, 768s or WAMs) that had previously learned the
old expander’s identity.
Radio Expanders
You can use
Detectors/Devices
– Radio Expanders
to add, edit, delete, enable/disable
and replace radio expanders. The options for radio expanders are similar to those for
wired expanders, as described from page 54.
Wired Keypads
Address Bus Device
Use this option to add a wired keypad. The control unit assigns a bus address (see page
25) to each device you add.
If the keypad you are adding already has a bus device number stored within it, you will
need to clear the address before adding it to the bus. You can do this manually by
pressing the D and
keys while the keypad's tamper switch is open, or by using
Delete
Keypad
(page 56).
Edit Keypad
You can use
this option
to edit settings for a specific keypad.
Note:
If you wish to find out where the device is located, press “*”. The displayed device
will sound a continuous tone. Press “#” to stop the tone.
Name
You can give each keypad a name. The control unit displays the name when it is reporting
faults or other events, making it easier to locate the affected device.
