Enrolling the Module
If you will be using the PC4401 as a printer or DataLink
module, you must enroll it with the PC4020.
NOTE:
If you will be using the PC4401 as a PC-LINK
isolator, DO NOT enroll the PC4401.
1. Enter installer’s programming by pressing [*] [8]
[Installer’s Code].
2. Scroll to “Module Hardware” and press the [*] key.
3. Scroll to “Enroll Module” and press the [*] key.
4. Scroll through the different modules until “PC44XX
RS-232” is displayed. Press the [*] key.
5. The message “Create Tamper on Desired Unit” will
be displayed. To create the required tamper, secure
the tamper zone on the module and then open it. The
transition from secure to violated enrolls the module.
After this is done, the keypad will display the mod-
ule number and will confirm enrollment (e.g.
“PC44XX Mod 01 Enrolled”).
