Via the Programming Key
The
Solution
Programming Key is a unique device that will allow you to easily program your control panel.
Inserting the Programming Key will automatically initiate a data transfer from the Programming Key to the
control panel memory.
If you have a new Programming Key you should first enter the Installers Program mode, configure your system as
per your requirements then insert the Programming Key while still in the Program mode and enter command 262.
This will copy the system data onto your new Programming Key. Exit the program mode by entering command
260, wait two seconds for the activity L.E.D. to return to its normal blinking state and then remove the
Programming Key. This Key will now become your standard data pattern for future programming of your
systems.
It should be noted that when entering the Installers Program Mode, inserting a Programming Key and then
altering any location will cause a simultaneous update of not only the Keys data but also the control panels data.
Therefore, you are not able to alter data in the Programming Key without the same location being altered in the
control panels memory.
Programming Option Bits
When programming these locations you will notice that there are four alternatives per location. You may select
one, two, three or all of these alternatives for each location, however only one number needs to be programmed.
This number is calculated by adding the option bit numbers together.
Example:
If at location 215 you want options 1, 2 and 4 then simply add the numbers together and the total is the number to
be programmed. In the example the number to be programmed is '7' (1+2+4=7)
