∗82 ALPHA DESCRIPTOR MENU MODE

The system lets you assign zone descriptors for protection zones, keypad panics, and RF receiver supervision faults. Each description can be composed of a combination of up to 3 words selected from a vocabulary of words stored in memory (see Alpha Vocabulary List page). In addition, up to 10 installer-defined words can be added to those already in memory, plus 3 additional words can be assigned as partition descriptors. Thus, when an alarm or trouble occurs in a zone, an appropriate description for that zone's location can be displayed at the keypad. Zone descriptors are recommended for systems using Alpha display keypads, and are necessary if a 4286 Phone Module is used.

NOTE: You can also enter zone descriptors when the zone is being defined in ✱56 Menu mode.

4286 NOTE: If using a 4286 Phone Module, select from those words in the Alpha Vocabulary List shown in boldface type. The phone module will not provide annunciation of the other words.

If a Phone Module is added to an existing system, the Alpha descriptors presently in the system should be reprogrammed, selecting from those words shown in boldface type in the Alpha Vocabulary List. The phone module will not provide annunciation of any other words.
