Display Macros
There are several “macro” message characters that activate special displays that can be embed-
ded within any message. Be aware that the displays take a certain number of characters each.
When using the 5540, the macro characters are preceded with a “\” (backwards slash) charac-
ter. In the built-in programmer macro characters are preceded by the character “¥.” To enter
this character, press
28
on the touchpad.
Example:
• To display ARMED with the armed areas on Line 1 of the LCD, enter
ARMED:\A
for
System Message #57.
• To display DATE with the current date on Line 2, enter
DATE:\D
for System Message
#58.
NOTE
As you are programming, you will see the shortened form of the message. During normal use,
the actual, non-abbreviated message will appear.
7.6 Programming Secret Codes
To access the Secret Codes Menu, press
7
TEST
, then enter Code 0. This menu is useful if you
only want to change secret codes, without going through all the options in the Access Menu.
To reprogram Code 0 (installer's code) or Code 1 (main user's code), you must use this menu.
These two codes cannot be changed in the Access Menu.
