Section 4: How to Program

The following section of the manual describes the Installer’s Programming function and how to program the various sec- tions.

NOTE: Read the following section of the manual very carefully before you begin programming. We also recommend filling out the Programming Worksheets section before you program the panel.

For your reference, the corresponding programming sections for the functions listed are highlighted in text boxes such as this one.

4.1Installer’s Programming

Installer’s Programming is used to program all communicator and panel options. The Installer’s Code is [5555] by default but should be changed to prevent unauthorized access to programming.

Installer’s Code. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Section [006]

From an LED Keypad:

1.Enter [*][8][Installer’s Code].

The Program light will flash to indicate that you are in pro- gramming mode.

The Armed light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the three-digit programming section number.

2.Enter the three-digit section number corresponding to the section you wish to program.

The Armed light will turn off.

The Ready light will turn on to indicate that the panel is waiting for the information required to complete program- ming the selected section.

3.Enter the information required to complete section pro- gramming (i.e.: numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).

NOTE: If the three-digit section number entered is invalid, or if the module which pertains to the section is not present, the keypad will sound a two second error tone.

From an LCD Keypad:

1.From any keypad, enter [*][8][Installer’s Code]. The Key- pad will display ‘Enter Section’ followed by three dashes.

2.Enter the three-digit number corresponding to the pro- gramming section number you wish to program. The key- pad will now display the information required to complete programming the selected section.

3.Enter the information required to complete section pro- gramming (i.e.: numbers, HEX data, or ON/OFF options).

If you enter information into a section and make a mistake, press the [#] key to exit the section. Select that section again and re-enter the information correctly.

NOTE: There must be one digit in each box in the program- ming section in order for the change to be valid.

4.2Programming Decimal Data

A set number of programming boxes are allotted for each sec- tion requiring decimal data (e.g.: codes, telephone numbers). If a digit is entered for each program box, the panel will auto- matically exit from the selected programming section. The Ready light will turn OFF and the Armed light will turn ON.

On the PC5508Z keypads, you can also press the [#] key to exit a programming section without entering data for every box. This is handy if you only need to change digits in the first few programming boxes. All other digits in the programming section will remain unchanged.

4.3Programming HEX Data

On occasion, hexadecimal (HEX) digits may be required. To program a HEX digit press the [*] key. The panel will enter HEX programming and Ready light will begin to flash.

The following are the numbers which should be pressed to enter the appropriate HEX digit:

1 = A 2 = B 3 = C 4 = D 5 = E 6 = F Once the correct HEX digit has been entered, the Ready light will continue to flash. If another HEX digit is required, press the corresponding number. If a decimal digit is required, press the

[*]key again. The Ready light will turn on and the panel will return to regular decimal programming.

Example:

To enter ‘C1’ for a closing by user 1, you would enter:

[*][3][*], [1]:

•[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)

•[3] to enter C

•[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)

•[1] to enter digit 1

NOTE: If Ready light is flashing, any number you enter will be programmed as the HEX equivalent.

If you are using a pulse communications format, a decimal zero [0] does not transmit. Programming a zero [0] tells the panel not to send any pulses for that digit. Decimal zero [0] is a filler digit. To transmit a zero [0], it must be programmed as a Hexadecimal ‘A’.

Example:

For the three digit account number ‘403’, you would enter:

[4], [*][1][*][3], [0]:

•[4] to enter the digit 4

•[*] to enter Hexadecimal mode (Ready light flashes)

•[1] to enter A

•[*] to return to decimal mode (Ready light is solid)

•[3] to enter the digit 3

•[0] to enter the digit 0 as a filler digit.
