Chapter 3: Getting Started
Once all wiring is complete, the system is ready to be programmed. This section provides
an overview of how to carry out this task. Later sections of this guide explain the
configuration options in more detail.
About the user interface
The control unit displays configuration options in menus. The top-level Installer menu
contains options such as
Detectors/Devices
,
Outputs
and
Partitions
. For example:
You can select an option by pressing
or
at the keypad until the name of the option or
device you want is displayed. Pressing
selects that option. Some options require you to
press
or
to change the setting.
Selecting an option may display a menu of further options. For example, selecting
Detectors/Devices
displays the first option in the
Detectors/Devices
menu:
You can repeat the process until you have selected the lowest-level setting you want to
change.
Pressing

Detectors/Devices
– Detectors
menu takes you back to the
Detectors/Devices
menu.
The section starting on page 31 shows a "menu map", which gives the position of all
menus and options in the Installer menu.
Entering text
You can use the numeric (1-9), * and # keys on a keypad to enter numbers and text. All
numeric keys are labelled to show the characters you can enter using that key. For
example, you can use the "2" key to enter A, B, C and 2 (where applicable). Also use
(where applicable):
# to change between capital and lower-case letters.
0 to enter a space or other characters such as "&", "@" and "/".
When you first select an option to enter text, the display shows the cursor at the beginning
of the bottom line. If you press a key, the bottom line clears and the character you key-in
appears at the beginning of the line.
A cursor on the display shows the position of the next character. If you are keying in
capital letters, the cursor is a block. For lower-case letters, the cursor is an underline.
If you press
when you first select an option to enter text, the existing text shifts right one
character and you can insert a new character in the empty space. To move the cursor left
or right, press
or
respectively
. To delete a character, press
.
