Section 5: Programming
5.1 How to Program
This section describes how to view alarm system programming
options using the supported keypad types.
5.2 Programming Methods
The alarm system can be programmed using the following methods:
Table 5-1 Programming Methods
5.2.1 Template Programming
Template programming allows the installer to quickly program the
minimum functions required for basic operation. The installer is
prompted to enter a 5-digit code that selects predefined programming
configurations:
Digit 1 – zone 1-8 definition options
Digit 2 – system EOL options
Digit 3 – alarm controller communications options
Digit 4 – alarm controller call directions
Digit 5 – DLS connection options
(see Appendix C: Template Programming Tables on page 105 for
programming information).
Perform template programming after completing the hardware instal-
lation. Ensure you have the information listed below available.
Record this information in the programming worksheets for future
reference:
•
Monitoring station telephone number - provided by the alarm
monitoring service.
•
Monitoring station account code - provided by the alarm moni-
toring service.
•
Downloading access code.
•
Entry delay - installer defined.
•
Exit delay - installer defined.
•
Installer code - programmable, unique 4-digit code. The default
value is [5555].
To perform template programming:
1.
At the “Ready to Arm” screen, enter [*][8][installer code][899].
2.
At the “Enter Data” screen, enter [00001] to accept the existing
default programming.
Once this section has been entered, the installer cannot exit until all
sections are completed. Enter new data and/or press the [#] key to
accept the displayed data and proceed to the next section. Changing a
single digit, then pressing the [#] key advances to the next section but
does not save the changed data. Enter all 5 digits or scroll to the end
of template programming and exit to save data.
3.
After entering [00001], the first telephone number is displayed.
Enter the monitoring station telephone number after the “D.”
Press [#] to complete the entry.
4.
After programming the first telephone number, enter a system
account code.
• The system account code can be any 6-digit combination
of numbers (0-9) and letters (A-F). If the system account
code is 4-digits, the last two digits must be “FF.”
• To enter letters A through F, press [*] then the numbers 1
through 6 for the letter A through F respectively. Press [*]
again to revert back to decimal entry. E.g., to enter
“1234FF” press [1234*66].
See “[310] Account Codes” on page 47 for additional
details.
5.
After programming the system account code, the downloading
access code is displayed. Enter the new downloading access
code or press [#] to proceed to the next step. See section [402]
PSTN DLS Phone Number Programming on page 51 for addi-
tional details.
6.
The entry delay is the amount of time given to disarm the alarm
system, after entering the premises through a delay type zone,
before an alarm is sounded. Press [>][>][>] to accept the default
time of 30 seconds (030) or enter an entry delay between 001
and 255. E.g., Press 020 for a delay of 20 seconds. See “[005]
System Times” on page 30 for additional details.
7.
The exit delay is the amount of time given to exit the premises
after the alarm system is armed. Press [>][>][>] to accept the
default time of 120 seconds or enter an exit delay between 001
and 255. E.g., press 030 for a delay of 30 seconds. See “[005]
System Times” on page 30
for additional details.
8.
After programming the exit delay, enter a 4 or 6-digit installer
code, depending on the value in section [041] Access Code Dig-
its on page 42. See [006] Installer Defined Access Codes on
page 30
for installer code details.
9.
Press [#] to exit Template Programming.
5.2.2 DLS Programming
DLS programming involves downloading custom programming
using DLS software and a computer. This can be done locally or by
remote.
NOTE:
For UL listed systems an installer must be on the premises.
Local Programming With PC-Link
Follow the steps below in the sequence indicated to set up local pro-
gramming using DLS:
1.
Connect AC Wiring.
In a new installation, the backup battery requires 24 Hrs.
charging. AC Power is required for PC-Link Programming until
the battery is charged.
2.
Plug the PC-Link header into the alarm controller. A DLS ses-
sion is initiated on the DLS computer.
3.
When the session is complete, remove the PC-Link cable from
the alarm controller.
4.
Complete the installation.
Remote Programming
DLS programming can be performed remotely by connecting to the
alarm system via telephone line, cellular network or Ethernet.
Refer to section [401] DLS/SA Options on page 50 for details.
NOTE:
AC Power must be present for the alarm system to answer
incoming calls from DLS.
