5.2.3 Installer Programming
Installer Programming is used to manually program alarm system
options. Access this mode by keying in [*][8][Installer Code]. Use
the scroll keys to navigate through the menus or jump directly to a
specific section by keying in a section number.
Programming consists of toggling on and off options in each section
or by populating data fields. For descriptions of all programming
options, see 5.3 Programming Descriptions on page 26.
5.2.4 Viewing Programming
Programming sections can be viewed from any system keypad. The
method for viewing and selecting programming options using LCD,
LED and ICON keypads depends on the keypad type used. See
below for specific instructions on programming with each keypad
type.
Generally, programming options are accessed in the following way:
1.
Enter Installer Programming mode ([*][8]).
2.
Navigate to a specific programming section.
3.
Select an option to view or change it’s programming.
All programming options are numbered and can be accessed by navi-
gating through the menu (LCD) or by keying in the program section
number. The programming worksheets and descriptions later in this
section provide a place to record custom programming settings and
are numerically listed to assist in locating specific sections.
Keypad Types
The sections below describe how programming is viewed and inter-
preted using each of the supported keypad types. For more informa-
tion on each keypad type, see the instruction sheet included with the
keypad.
LED and ICON
Both of these keypads use LEDs to communicate information. The
programming icon illuminates to indicate the alarm system is in
Installer Programming mode. The Armed light turns off and the
Ready light turns on while in a programming section.
Programming sections fall under two categories: those that require
options to be “toggled” on or off, and those that require data to be
keyed in.
Toggle options are indicated across the top of the display using zone
numbers 1-8. For example, if options 1 and 4 are on, the display
appears as follows on the different keypads:
Figure: 4 LED and ICON displays
To enable or disable a toggle option, press the number key on the
keypad corresponding to the option.
Sections requiring data input, such as phone numbers, display infor-
mation in a binary format using zone LEDs 1-4 as described in the
following chart:
Figure: 5
When a section is entered, the keypad immediately displays the first
digit of information programmed. Using the example in Figure 5
above, if zone 1 and 4 are illuminated, the first programmed digit in
the section is 9. Use the scroll key [>] to advance to the next digit.
For sections that require multiple two or three-digit numbers, the
keypad beeps three times after each entry and moves to the next item
on the list. After the last digit in the section is entered, the keypad
beeps rapidly eight times and exits the programming section. The
Ready light turns off and the Armed light turns on.
To exit programming at any time, press the [#] key. All changes made
up to that point are saved.
LCD Keypad
LCD keypads use a full-message display that provides visual and
numerical navigation through the programming sections. The Armed
light illuminates when Installer Programming mode is activated. Use
the scroll keys to move through menu options and press [*] to select.
Alternatively, enter a specific section number. The Armed light
flashes to indicate a sub-section has been selected. Press [*] to select
a sub-section. The Ready light illuminates and the information pro-
grammed in the section is displayed.
For programming sections with toggle options, press the correspond-
ing number on the keypad to turn the option on or off. The display
changes accordingly.
Sections requiring data input, such as phone numbers, display the full
data in fields up to 32 characters long.
To input data, use the scroll keys to select a character then press the
keypad button corresponding to the number/letter required. Scroll to
the next character and repeat the procedure as needed.
For information on entering HEX data, see below.
A 2-second error tone is sounded if an invalid key is pressed.
Press the [#] key to exit the program section at any time. All changes
made up to that point are saved.
5.2.5 Programming Hex and Decimal
Data
Hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required during programming. To
program a HEX digit, press the [*] key while in a programming sec-
tion that requires a data entry. HEX programming mode activates and
the Ready light begins to flash.
The following table indicates which number should be pressed to
enter the corresponding HEX digit:
Table 5-2 HEX Digit Programming
The Ready light continues to flash after the HEX digit is entered. If
another HEX digit is required press the corresponding number. If a
decimal digit is required, press the [*] key again. The Ready light
illuminates and the panel returns to regular decimal programming.
Example: To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, enter [*] [3] [*], [1]
[*] to enter hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)
[3] to enter C
[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is on)
[1] to enter digit 1
If an error is made while inputting data, press the [#] key to exit the
section. Select that section again and re-enter the information cor-
rectly.
When using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero [0] does
not transmit for account and reporting codes. Programming a zero [0]
tells the alarm system not to send any pulses for that digit. Decimal
zero [0] is a filler digit. To make a zero [0] transmit, it must be pro-
grammed as a Hexadecimal ‘A.’
