Programming The Hills Reliance Control Panel
Features, Segments and Options
The Hills Reliance programming structure consists of Features, Segments, and Options.
Features
or Feature numbers are used to locate an option or group of options.
Example: Feature 6 contains the communicator format selection and Feature 16 contains area one options.
Segments
are contained within each feature, there are two types of segments.
The first segment type is referred to as an option select segment. This segment type contains up to eight options that can
be toggled On or Off like dip switches.
The second segment type is referred to as a numeric segment. This segment type requires a value from ‘0’ to ‘255’ to be
entered.
Options
are contained within segments. An option select segment can have up to eight options. A numeric segment can
have a value of ‘0’ to ‘255’.
Example: Feature 6 contains the communicator format that has one segment with one option; and Feature 16 contains area
one options that has 5 segments with 40 options in total.
Navigating Program Mode
Entering The Program Mode:
To enter the program Mode, press
[
r
]
-
[8]
. At this time, the five function LEDs (On, Partial,
Exit, Bypass, & Chime) will begin to flash. Next, enter the ‘Go To Program Code’ (factory default is
[9]
-
[7]
-
[1]
-
[3]
). If the ‘Go
To Program Code’ is valid, the ‘Service’ LED will flash and the five function LEDs will illuminate steady. You are now in the
Program Mode and ready to select the module to program.
Selecting The Module To Program:
Since all modules connected to the Hills Reliance are programmed through the code
pad, the module you are programming should be the first entry. To program the Hills Reliance control panel, enter
[0]
-
[#]
.
[0]
is the module number of the control and the
[#]
is the enter key. Other module entry numbers can be found in their
corresponding manuals.
Programming A Feature:
Once the number of the module to be programmed has been entered, the ‘Armed’ LED will
illuminate, indicating it is waiting for a programming feature to be entered. Any feature can be accessed by directly entering
the desired programming feature followed by the hash
[#]
key. If the feature entered is a valid feature, the ‘Armed’ LED will
extinguish, the ‘Ready’ LED will illuminate and the binary data for the first segment of this feature will be shown by the zone
LED's. While entering new data, the ‘Ready’ LED will begin flashing to indicate a data change in process. The flashing will
continue until the new data is stored by pressing the
[
Á
]
key. Upon pressing the
[
Á
]
key, the code pad will advance to the
next segment and display its data. This procedure is repeated until the last segment is reached. Pressing the
[#]
key will
exit from this feature, and the ‘Armed’ LED will illuminate again waiting for a new programming feature to be entered. If the
desired feature is the next sequential feature, press the
[POLICE]
key. If the previous feature is desired press the
[FIRE]
key. If the same feature is desired press the
[MEDICAL]
key. To review the data in a feature, repeat the above procedure,
pressing the
[#]
key without any numeric data entry. Each time the
[
r
]
key is pressed, the programming data of the next
segment will be displayed for review.
Exiting A Feature:
After the last segment of a feature is programmed, pressing the
[
Á
]
key will exit that feature, turn the
‘Ready’ LED off and the ‘Armed’ LED on. You are now ready to enter another programming feature as before. If an attempt
is made to program an invalid entry for a particular segment, the code pad sounder will emit a triple error beep (beep, beep,
beep), and remain in that segment awaiting a valid entry.
Exiting The Program Mode:
When all the desired changes in programming have been made, it is time to exit the program
mode. Pressing the
[Exit]
key will exit this programming level, and go to the ‘Select a Module to Program’ level. If no
additional modules are to be programmed, pressing the
[Exit]
key again will exit the program mode. If there is a module to
be programmed, it may be selected by entering its address followed by the
[#]
key (see ‘Selecting the Module To Program’
above). The procedure for programming these devices is the same as for the control panel, except the features will be for
the module selected.
