17. PROGRAMMING OF INSTALLATION DATA
After the Octalarm has been placed, the installation dependent parameters such as normally open /
normally closed contacts for the alarm inputs, possible delay times and such, have to be set. These
settings take place in the so-called installation program. See part 18 “INSTALLATION PROGRAMS”.
Each Octalarm is supplied with factory defaults, as generally used in practice.
Make a note of every modified setting at the back of this manual in order not to lose the overview
and to avoid future operation errors. For resetting the default settings, see chapter 18.15.Prog 99
“clear all settings”
17.1 Programming options
The Octalarm can be programmed in the following ways:
•
using the operation panel,
•
using a PC at the serial interface (RS-232 connection),
•
through the telephone line using the built-in modem.
•
over the mobile network, using the inbuilt modem (only model -G).

D
to move
the cursor around. Confirm each new setting by pressing the Prog-key.
Following each modified setting, you must answer all additional questions until the message

appears. When the installation program is closed prematurely by using the esc-
key, all former settings will be replaced!
Pressing the Prog-key repeatedly enables you to check the current settings.
During set-up subsequent menus are partly dependent on data entered earlier. Therefore, it is
possible that not all menus described appear on the display during set-up.

Connect the RS-232 connection of the Octalarm to the serial port (COM port) of the PC using a
serial cable.

Commander”, “Telix” etc. Set the following options for the COM port used: 19.200 baud, no parity,
8 bit data, 1 stop bit.
