5. PROGRAMMING
5.1 General Guidance
This chapter explains the Installer programming (configuration) options of your PowerMaster system and how to
customize its operation to your particular needs and end user requirements.
The control panel includes a partition feature. Partitioning allows you to have up to three independently controllable
areas with different user codes assigned to each partition. A partition can be armed or disarmed regardless of the
status of the other partitions within the system. The Soak Test
1
feature allows selected zones to be tested for a pre-
defined period of time. When in Soak Test mode, activating a zone does not cause an alarm and siren and strobe are
not activated. The zone activation is recorded in the event log and is not reported to the Monitoring Station. The zone
remains in Soak Test until the pre-defined period of time for the Soak Test has elapsed without any alarm activation.
The zone then automatically removes itself from Soak Test mode.
Software Upgrade
2
allows you to upgrade the software of the control panel from the remote PowerManage server.
During software upgrade, the PowerMaster display will read "
UPGRADING…
" which is displayed throughout the
software upgrade procedure.
Note:
Software Upgrade cannot be performed when the control panel is armed AWAY or there is an AC failure.
Tech Tip
:
For your convenience, we recommend programming the PowerMaster on the work bench before actual installation.
Operating power may be obtained from the backup battery or from the AC power supply.
